0T all the naval heroes, WAS David
q. Parragul, OF Tennessee. This Is
the expressed sentiment az the
Northern Government itself. Du,
pont of slaveholling Delaware, and
Goldsborough of Maryland, made
the first lodgmcnt ON tho Atlantic
coast.
There il not an intelligent man
In either section of the country, who
does not know that Fit had been q
contest between tho men of the
South aud the men OF the North,
tho latter would have boon des-
troyod.
Nor must wo forget tl!at tho irsL
Union army was organized by Scott,
of Virginia, and that tho conduct
and control of the war was under
Abraham Lincoln, Southern born
man.
It is unnecessary for us to glance
bnt n moment at tho third head.
without the products Of tho South,
the Government never could have
held together ten years. Tho bal
ancc of tho trade would always have
been against tho United States.
Two.thirds of tho exports OF the
country have always come from tho
South. Mr.. Everett, OF Massachu-
sctts, confessed that "tho North
could not afford TO lcso the South
lust after tho surrender, the Sccrc-
tary of the Treasury of tho United
States stated that the Cotton found
in the harried and desolatGd South
had saved the Government from
bankruptcy. Charleston, in her
ashes and ruins, exports more than
Boston in her magniiicence. Let
tho Cotton, Sugar, Rice and Naval
Stores Of tho South be destroyed,
and tho bonds Of tho Government
would not be worth the paper upon
which they are written. Tho sala'
rv of the President would not be
sufficient to feed the bull pup,
which he declined to accept.
We have examined patiently the
snecr of tho man, who by the power
Of the bayonct and the strength OF
tic negro vote is President Of the
United States. We think tic South
has no right to be ashamed Of her
past history. She has produced no
g. S. Grant, but she thinks that her
George Washington is Ills equal,
She cannot boast Of a spoon-thief B.
f. Butler, but she points modestly
to incorruptible John G. Calhoun,
She docs not number among her
Jewels Rov, Howe, Rev. Horace
Cook and a Rev. Ben. +. White.
ntoro; but she oclaims that her clergy
have preached tho truth us it is i'll
Jesus, with faithfulncss and sim
pliviiy. She has no unsoxoi daugh-
tcrs strolling over the LAIRD, s!i'ck-
ing about woman's rights, but she
has modest maidens and true heart
cd wives, who are content tc Qccul
py the sphere that God has placed
them in She has been so backward
in Manufactures that she has
manufactured no religious Nor
monism Conn munionism; and Free
Love-ism have had no favor with in
her eyes. She has been satisfied
with lcr old Family Bible and the
dear old teachings Of the holy men
Of by -goho age. May a merciiul
God long preserve her from the
curse of coarse matcrialism and
tic awful sin Of its necessary atten-
dant, low, beastly sensualism, such
Ms now sweeps over the land of
manufactures"
