SOUTHERN VIEWS OF TIE NORTH.

EIan OF the s;outIi--The Richmond Examiner
DuriaT the War.
The following extracts are taken from volume of
the most select and spicy articles OF the late John M
Daniel published originally in the Richmond Erdm-
liner. Mr.. Daniel was thoroughly representative man
Of the South as well as one of its most vigorous and
fearless writers. No one did more to stimulate and
sustain the war feeling against the North, and no
one dealt heavier blows at Jeff Davis and the weak
rebel authorities. The volume was compiled and
published lately by hts brother, Frederick S. Daniel,
who truly says in his preface, These writings pre-
sent true reflex OF the spirit In which the conflict
was waged." Unfortunately too, he might have
said they represent spirit not yet entirely
alayed:-
ON PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
From the Examiner, March H. 1851
Northern federalism has sent creature whom no
one can hear with patience or look on without dis.
gust. We have all heard OF a King OF Shreds and
Patches but in the first Of Free Presidents - we
have the delightful combination of Western county
lawyer with Yankee barkeeper. No American OF
any section has read the oratory with which he has
strewn his devious road to Washington, condensed
Jumps OF imbecility, bufoonery aud vulgar malig-
nifty, without blush of shame. 1t is with bitter
pang that we remember that these samples of utter
blackguardism have already gone to all the earth
translated into all the languages that men speak,
to justify the worst representations thai our
worst enemies have made OF the national degra
dation to which they pretend republican governments
must ever lead.
But all personal antpathies are lost in the deep
sentiment or apprehension which musG AFFECT every
thinking man when he remembers the terrible Slgni-
canoe OF this beastly figure. Whether we are to be
governed by q gentleman or ruled by baboon would
matter comparatively little were each the repre-
sentative or constitutional government. But with
Lincoln comes something worse than slang. rowdy-
ISM brutality and I'll moral filth; something worse
than oil the tag and rag OF Western grog shops and
Yankee factories, headed by Bob Prince OF Rails
ond that successor TO Miss Lane, In diamond ear
drops and with ivory fan to wave over the faces Of
"A otia
them mot 10 be too warm in the cause" With all
that comes arbitrary power. The first Of the free
Presidents gets to the seat q government IN the dis
conscience stricken murderer In purpose; he Is in
augurated to-day as John Brown was hung, under
the mouths OF cannon levelled at the citizens whom
lie swears protect and with the bayonets OF mer-
cenary battalohs commanding every road to the
fountain OF mercy and justice. What can come OF
oil this but civil war and public runs
THE yANEEE COWARD AND KNAvE
From the Examiner, July 2, 1851
Cowardice Is carefully inculcated on the Yankee
from his birth; and II he be not coward ne must
be fool who won't take education. But he is no
fool for while he Is taught that fighting Is unprot
able and therefore be avoided he is instructed at
the same time that cunning and sharpness and
cheating very credtable and very profitable; and
no one learns these latter lessons more readily and
rapidly than he. lie is born like other people, but
becomes coward and knave from severe training
and careful education. Every day we hear 1t said
and 1t written that the people OF the North are
personally as brave as the people OF the South 1t Is
wholly untrue. We are their superiors, not only
because are more accustomed to and more skilful
IN the use of arms, but also because their natural
courage has been carefully eradcated by educatiOn
and ours as carefully encouraged fostered and i'm
proved.
What that people brave whose foremost and most
admired men have been Kicked caned and cowhided
as INCREASINGLY as spaniel dogs

was united by undisguised hatred OF the South, till
their nation OF millions seemed one man-the South
still had many Northern friends. We had not far to

TUrr HUNTER AND ToApY
IRON the Examiner, August %, 1851
Although tuft-hunting Is studied as q science and
pursued as profession in Europe yet the Yankees
have such remarkable natural talents for toadyism
nunkysm and TUT hunting that they beat the pro-
fessos of the art OF cringing by force of sheer natu
raj genius. In other countries uft hunting is follow
ed because 1t Ia profitable species OF meanness; but
the Yankee Is toady because he can refrain
from boot-nckng than acat can keeps its paws Oh
Utterly destitute of selrrespect and manliness the
Yankee must PROSTATE himself before something
which he believes TO be greater than himself. lie
loves to fawn about the feet of European mOnarchs
and noblemen, and like the ancient Egyptian, he is
ready to worship anything from Apis down to an
onion or a prasshopper His appetite for toadyism
Is omnivoroiis. He prefers travelling lords and
princes but I'm default OF these legitimate victims OF
tuft hunters he hunts down all sorts of small game.
Dancing women, Japanese ambassadors, English
authors, Cabinet officers Congressman, Hungarian
refugees and many of Barnum's most remarkable
monsters have been In their day the gods OF Yankee
idoatry. Many of our readers have at levees and
receptions witnessed the elaborate establishment Of
the Yankee funky.

THE SOUTH Will NEVER PAY TIE YANKEE WAR
DEBT
from the Examiner, DAY l. 1921
Turn the subject over in any way, there is little
prospect OF revenue for the federal treasury from
cOniscations, even In the impossible event OF
quest. If the United States should by any chance or
nschance succeed IN subdung the Southern States
and bringing them again into the Union their true
financial policy would be the proclamation OF gene
raj amnesty, the restoration POSSIBLE, OF frate nal
feeling and the imposition only OF such taxes the
refractory section as they impose on the other.
Even IL the policy OF robbery and wholesale confs-
cation could be carried into effect 1t would be no
other than repetition Of the folly of the clown who
ripped open the goose for the golden egg. on the
whole IL il plain that In no form or shape viii the
South, by any possibility, ever contribute, either
willingly or unwillingly, to the liquidation OF the

From the Examiner, May 81, 1SG2.l
The atrocious order issued by the federal General
Butler at New orleans is Characteristic and worthy
Of that proven coward. lie who turned white and
trembed all ut the Charleston Convention before
the menaces OF personal chastisement, which his
roguery provoked from gentleman in this State Is
brave az Nero, eunuch ruling the seraglio OF a
Turk, to the women OF Louisiana. The General
issues order to this eectTha the federal troops
have In vain offered their compliments to the ladies'
of New Orleans, and having been "rudey' treated
by them, the Commanding General declares that in
future, should any Southern woman express her
aversion to Yankee soldiers treat them rudely -
she shall be considered by authority as wench Of
the town, and treated accordingly by the troops.
Butler has improved upon the Austrian generals
None but coward OF his stamp and race could have
imagined or issued such an order, none ever have
sunk into equal bdinous filthiness and depravity.
But let us not reproach Butler. Let walt to see
the consequences OF his order before blame MIN.
We have now to learn whether Southern men love
anything better than whole skins and ignominious
lives; for IL anything will the hand Of the male
population Of New Orleans 1t VIII be this order and
the first attempt 10 execute it. But they
