| Hatred of the Yankee, who is the represen-
tative Democrat of the world, is characters
tic of the Democracy everywhere. Is it not
strange that our naturalized citizens, who are
interested in preserving the purity Of our Re-
pub'icanism, if anyone is, should 60 in SO large
numbers to the eide of the party of aristocracy
| and class privileges? The following is an ex-
tract from that leading Democratic journal,
the Charleston Mercury:
| Our women are all conservative, moral, relig-
| iOus and sensitively modest, and abhor the
North for its infidelity, gross immortality, licen
tiousness, anarchy and agrarianism. Ills they
and the clergy who lead and direct the disun-
| ion movement 1t is gross mistake to sup
pose that abolition alone is the cause of dissen-
sion between the North and the South. The
| Cavaliers, Jacobites and Huguenots, who set
tied the South, naturally hate, condemn and
| despise the Puritans who settled the North.
| The former are master races-the latter q slave
race. and descendants of the Saxon serfs!
We are the most aristOcratic people in the
/ world. Pride OF caste and color, and privilege
| makes every white man an aristOcrat in feel
| ing. ArlSUOcracy Is tne only safeguard OF I'D
erty, the only power watchful and strong
enough to exclude monarchical despotism. At
the North, the progress and tendency of Opin-
ion is to pure Democracy, less government.
| anarchy and agrarianism Military despotism
is far preferable to Northern Democracy, agra
| rianism, infidehty and free love. l.E Do
q Our enemies, the STUPID, SENSUAL,
| IGNORANT MASSES OF THE NORTH,
who are as foolish as they aresdepraved, rush
ed on as .heedlessly as a greedy drove of hun
| cry hogs, at the call of their owners They
| were promised plumber, and found famine. =
Better, a thousand times better, to come I'M
der the dominion of free negroes or of Gypsies,
than of Yankees, or of low Germans or Cana
| dams. Gypsies aud free negroes have many
| amable, noble and generous traits; the Yam
KEGS, sour-crout Germans, filthy, whiskey-
drinking Irish, and Canadians have none. SEN
ator Wade says and Seward too, that the North
will absorb Canada They are half true; the
| vle sensual, animal, brutal, infidel, supersti-
tious DEMOCRACY of Canada and the Yam
kee States will coaesce; and Senator John
son of Tennessee will join them. But when
Canada and Western New York, and New
England, and the whole blastly, puritanic, sour
crout, free negro, FILTHY, WHISKEY-
| DRINKING IRISH of the North become
| masters of New York, what then? Out of the
| city, the State of New York is Yankee and
| puritanical, composed of as base, unprincipal-
| ed, superstitious, licentious and agrarian and
anarchcal population as any on earth. Nay
we do not hesitate to say it is the vilest popu-
| lation on earth A-t- -aA az A--'
