AND CARPET
BAaGERS.

aud their sycophautic, officiating North
ern parasites, to brand as sectional
every man who loved freedom and dared
to indulge independence Of thought, or
move in other than the grooves plowed
by the ~chivalry. Not ever in the palmy
days when cotton was King, and the
whipping-post and slsve-pen the con-
comitau,s Of his royalty, were the foes
of freedom and progress more proscrip-
tive aud abusive than at present.
While the rights, privileges and immu-
mites of the Southerner (oven the bitter
est Secessionist) who sees fit to migrate
Northward are no more circumscribed
than those Of the most favored natives Of
that section, and while the broadcast
Of trade, commerce and the
road to political preferment are equally
open and free for each, the South is to-
day more dangerous ground for free
thinking Northerners to tread than were
the bloodiest battle-ields Of the rebel
lion. Migrating southwark to better
their fortunes and develope that wasted
land, they must adopt the vile, vicious
theories Of the authors Of its de-
VISITATION, or insult, vituberatiou and
coutumely are the least Of their
woes, and they are fortunate it they
escape with whole skins, or even
with life. Unless a Northern born resi-.
dent of tie South fawns at the feet Of
the ex-slave lords aud makes their ipse
Dirt his shibboleth he is q =" scalawag,"
a "carpet.bagger" and a fit subject for
the attention Of the Kuklux Khan. And
the poor, vile, contemplate lick-spittles
of the North, the Copperhsad a%fterbirths
of the secession monstrosity, applaud
the prescription and justify every out
rage. The Northerners who bow down
and worship the Grand Cyclops are gen.
tlemen and permitted to aspire to any
position without comment, but he who
advocates free principles and labors to
elevate the lowly is a vagabond, scala
wag and carpet-bagger. In referring to
this class the Stockton Gazette of the
18th inst. says:
Occasionally one Of them meets with his
Just deserts at the hands Of the Khan" and
Is deservedly hung for his crimes ; whereup-
on his name Is heralded throughout the
length and breadth Of the country as q 'mar-
tyred Southern Unionist."
Yes, because a native Of Ohio, Illinois
or Indiana goes into Alabama or Missis-
sippi and advocates principles consist
ent with his own convictions, instead
of consulting that brave and chivalrous
band of assassins and midnight murder
ers, a coat Of tar and feathers, mutilla-
ton or death are his "just deserts"
Because these men are loyal and are
striving to indoctrinate tho people Of
the South with Union sentiments, this
Stockton illustrator Of the general DEM
ocratic sentiments hurls at them the
foulest filth Of his noisome repertory.
After describing the lowest and meanest
of vagabonds and sheep-thievcs, ho
says:
Such are the loyal whites Of the South, who,
in connection with their negro allies, Con-
gress proposes to admit to take part in max
ing laws to govern an intelligent and honest
people, and also to have n voice in saying
who shall be the next President. Is It
strange that the negroes become thieves and
vagabonds, with such men for their guides!
Because they are loyal he would pro-
hibit them from taking part in making
laws for the intelligent and honest"
Kukluxers, or having a voice in saying
who shall be next President. If o
Northern Union man has the temerity
to accept Office in Georgia or South
Carolina, his name is paraded as
that Of a carpet-bagger in the
Democratic press from end to end
of tho Republic, but allies of the Khan
may control and govern Oregon, Cali
fornia, and every other State that goes
Democratic, with impunity and COM
mendatiou. Will those who have so
ostentatiously paraded the nativity of
the newly elected State officers Of South
Carolina. favor US with q similar show
ing in regard to some that are Demo-
cratieally governed? If would be hor-
rible if, on examination, it should
appear that all of the State officers of
California or New Jersey are not natives
of the States, respectively, in which
they hold office. We fear that "Goy-
ernor elect' and prospective President
Haight would have to be assigned to
the "scalawag" ranks.
