people Of the North look c~omplacentl,
on Imperial Military rule, while
North and South, the same class of mel
vino fattened on the life-blo0d Of tn
Union and C~Onfederacy, and mad
money, however the cause prospered 0
ost, do not care who governs or how, j
only they do not feel the general distress
and can collect high rents or good divi
dends on their stock in rascally monop
oIies.
When Burke wrote, the Colonies ha,
declared their independence, and war wa
raging between them and the Mothe
Country, and England styled then
rebels. Yet this is what MIR. BURKl
said that be and his friends in Parliamen
desired:
awe have wished to continue unite,
with you, in order that a people Of on
origin and character should be di
rected to the rational objects of Govern
ment by joint c~OUnsels, and protected II
them by a common force. Other subor
dinatiOn in you we require none. w
have never pressed that argument O
general union to the extinction of you
local, national, and just privileges. Sen
sible OF what is due both the dignity an,
weakness OF man, we have never wishe,
to place Over you any Government, owe
which, in great fundamental points. yoj
should have no sort Of check or contro
ia your own hands; or which should b.
repugnant to your situation, principle
and character 90
Has the North ever yet been generou
or wise enough to make a proposition
ike that to the conquered States Of tht
South? No; it has not been able to rist
to that height Of manliness. There ar,
zoo many men in in the North who q,
not want peace and reconciliation. They
are the IsCARIOTs who are always ready
to betTay the country and 10 sell it. I
the North had appealed TO the South il
words like those of BURKE, when tn,
war ended, all snimosities would hav,
been buried in q common grave. Nov
they are immortal and the hates engsn,
dered since the war ended, will last a
long as those between France and Eng.
land.
Has the North ever said to the South
I'VE solemnly declare that although
We should look upon a separation ron
you a. an heavy calamity, land the
heavier because we know you must have
your full share OF it,, yet we had muck
rather see you totally independent Of thi.
crown and kingdom, than Joined to il by
so unnatural a conjunction, as that o
freedom with servitude "a conjunction
which, il il were at all practicable, c0ulC
not fail. IL the end, Of being more mis-.
chievous to the peace, prosperity, great

either great or good, TO say to the men o
the South, in the words of BURKE
We DO not call you rebels and trai

This is the peculiar and appropriated

These words, noble and mGg1antmous,
mere addressed TO L own ANCESTORS,
uhsn they WCre REBELS. What an inn
menss difference there is between a truly
great man, like BgR8E, and the men
who now lead the internal cohorts Of
that stygian Congress which sets to
curse and plague the country at Wash
ington.
SO much fer the policy of government
by ScRlawagism. In our nszt wa will
inquire what its consequences have been,
are, and are to be.
