A Good Word for Democrats from our
Southern Brethren-How they love
Peace-Northern Democrats Slave

The following editorial appeared in
the Charleston Mercmy-a paper

Our women are all co.'s rvative,

lis they and the clergy who lead
and direct the disunion movement.
1t is a gross mistake TO suppose that
| Abolition alone is the cause OF dis
sension between the North and the
South. The Cavaliers, Jacobitee,
| and Huguenots, who settle the South,
| naturally hate, contemn, aud desplse
the Purltans who settled the North.
The former are master races-the
latter slave-race, and descendants
OF the Saxon serfs
We arc the most aristocratic peo>
pie in the world. Pride of caste, and
color, and privilege make every
white man m aristocrat in feeling.
Aristocracy is the only safeguard OF
liberty, the only power watchtul and
strong enough to exclude monarchi-
cal despotism. Al the North; the
progress ofopinion is to pure democ~
racy, less government, anarchy, and
agrarianism. Military dcspotism is
far preferable to Northern democra-
cy, agrarianism, infidelity, and free
love. .sg-s.
Oar enemies, the stupid, sensual,
ignorant masses of the North, and
who are as foolish as they are dc
PRAYED, could not read the signs of
the times, did not dream of disunion,
but rushed on as a greedy drove of
hungry hogs, at the call of their
owners. They were promised plum
der, and find a famine promised
bread, and were given stone. Our
enemies were starving and disorgan-
lied. The cold, naked, hungry mas.
ses are at war with their leaders.
They are mute, paralyzed, panic-
stricken, and have no plan Of action
for the future.
Better thousand times better, TO
come under the dominion of free me-
groes or of Gypsies, than of YAM
KEGS, or low Germans or Canadians.
Gypsies and free negroes have many
amiable, noble and generous traits
the Yankees, sour krout Germans,
filthy, whiskey. drinking Irish and
Canadians, have none. Senator Wade
says, and Seward too, that the North
will absorb Canada. They are half
true; the vile, sensual, animal, bru~
tai, infdel, superstitious Democracy
of Canada and the Yankee States
will coalesce and Johnson will
join them. But when Canada and
Western New York, and New Eng
land, and the whole beastly, puritan>
ic, sour circuit" free negro, filthy,
whiskey- drinking Irish, infidel, SUI
perstitious, hcentious, Democratic
population of the North become
masters of New York-what then -?
Out of the city. the State of New
York is Yankee and puritanical, CON-
posed COT as base, unprincipled, SUI
perstitious, and agrarian and anar>
chical population as any on earth.
Nay, we do not hesitate to say, it is
the vilest population on earth.
This is fair average democratic
doctrine.-CharleSton Mercury, Ju-
