Nations, like individuals sometimes 20
The North has gone mad. 5-
Crazy nations, like crazy men, often
commit suicide The North is cutting her
own throat. Her madness was caused by
a mahgnant disease that first drives its VIC
tim to a kind of blood-thirsty frenzy, in
which it commits the widest crimes, and
then makes it kill itself.
Listen to history-it is philosophy
taught by example, - A---
The Jews killed the Savior and persecu-
ted his disciples, because they would not
think like them. And the Jews have suf-
fered eighteen centuries for it.
Christians tried to convert Mahomedans
by.robbing and numbering them, and two
millions of those Christians rotted on the
sands of the East. .-
The French Republic, fanatical in its zeal
for liberty, was the cause of the massacre
of all the French in st. Domingo by ne
groes.
The Spanish inquisition was established
to kill intidel Moors, but in few years It
was staying thousands of orthodox Span
iards.
Fanaticism drove those people mad, and
then made them commit suicide.
Now the North. is crazy, and that is the
reason why she spurns the advice of six
thousand years ofhuman experience She
/ will commit suicide too, Thurlow Weed
says she is crazy Mr.. Greeley proclaims
| it, and begs them to stop. But fanaticisrn
don't stop till it dies; the revolution will
run its course.
But it is certain that they are crazyi .
The English, during the Common wealth
became so disgusted with Puritan intoler-
ance, their nasal twang and hypocritical
psalm singing that they sent for Charles II
/ preferrlng stable despotism to a crazy
Common wealth. Then our Northern an
cestors crossed the Atlantic to rob Indians
| whip Baptists, and burn Quakers.
They hung blue lights. 80 4
| They stole negroes from Africa and then
neighbors.
They preached disunion.
They lashed men for not going to church
for chewing tobacco, and for kissing theil
wives on Sunday.
They burned Catholic converts.
They Matched out federalism, negroism
Mormonism, Know N Nothingism, free love
ism, wooden nut-megism, and every othei
ism that has ever been heard of in thii
country
They were crazy-that is the reason theJ
/ naIcneQ out so many lSmS.
Their fanaticism has converted Congress
into a lunatic asylum. 1t is raging in thu
press, it poisons our schools, colleges anc
Literature. It rants and howls in degrad
ed and prostituted pulpit -.
The ways of Providence are strange.
The darkest houris Just before day, anC
that hour is now. Fanaticism stabbed
the South it will soon stab itself, anC
murderer and victim viii soon fill tn,
same grave.
The crisis is drawing near.
We now say the Suffering South" W,
will soon say the Suffering North"
why? Because Radicalism has throw
off the mask, and is now opening ant
scornfully tearing the Constitution t
pieces. and trampling it under. unhallow
ed feet. 1t don't matter much if the sa
cred charter of Southern State was de
stroyed-but the Constitution is the shiel
of the States; it is destroyed, the right
and liberties of the North, as well as tn
South, are gone All fall when it falls
This IS the last hair, and it will break th
Northern eameps back
Fanaticism is coming home to roost.
The instinct Of MISREPRESENTATION win com
pei the common sense of the North Z
overthrow Radicalism, and then it will bit
! itself to death ike a poisoned rat IN !
hole. - --.--. -z
Fanaticism is its own exesutioner-SAei
