souTHERA AND NORTHERN MEN.
Il i not the Northern men that the peo-
'ple OF the South object TO. This y the
mistake that the Northern people make.
I. is this view Of the Southern people that
establishes the strong lines Of sectional
psejudice, which have been 20 deepl.
drawn by Mr.. Morton, and other ultra
polisicians in their inaammable speeches
,This much discussed question at the North,
Sf social ostracis,n in the south to Northern
psuple. d an exploded dogma of the e1-
txemists in the Republican party. Some
Of the most prosperous men in the South
to-day are those who have gone thither
from tho North-men who are recognized
q able business laborers with the people
men who attend to their own business and
DO not dabble in politics-men whs have
come to settle and grow up with the coun-
Try, to build their houses upon rock that
thsy might stand. These are the men the
South wants, but to those who have come
to fatten upon the people, and to pillage
and despoil, there can be no welcome ex-
tended, and it is to this class that the social
ostrac,sm applies and not to the ether.
Could you ask the people Of Mississippi
to be submissive, and bear perpetual
smile, when dishonest carpst-haggers are
gnawing ont the vitals of the Stale Trea-
sury7 Could you ask South Carolina 10
dry her eyes, and withdraw protest
b against such men as Whipper and Moses,
the former Of whom increased the State
debt from seven millions to twenty-five
millions in less than two wears, who de6led
the public offices by appointing to them the
most ignorant and prodigate set of carpet
bag politicians, and then threw the State into
r~pudiation p? The latter Of these, Whipper,
Is a carpet-bag darkey, all the way from
Michigan and the intimate friend of
Moses, who also has grown rich in plum
deri. & the State. It is over Charleston
that these two worthies are proposed to
preside, and yet the Republican press is
indignant, because justice has asserted her
power, and infamy has been foiled. Could
you ask ring-ruled Alabama to be quie,
and accept her fate resigneily ~ or
could you rebuke Louisiana for rising
with might against the iniamies Of Du-
rsll, = Billings and Kellogg? 1t is this
which makes the Southern man suspicious
Of the Northern man. It is the same in.
stinct which has taught the burnt child to
dread the fire. 1t is said that experience
teaches fools, but in the South il has made
wise men.
Those who have come into the land Of
the laurel, with open hand, have been re-
eeived cordially. Take Walker, of Vir-
sinia; his sterlins ability applied to useful
employment gave him rank among the
: people; he was not made the subject of
social ostracism. but was taken up from
among the people and made Governor OF
the State, and now represents the State in
Congress. Chamberlain, the preseat Gov.
srnor Of South Carolina, is said to be
veritable Yankee. He never claimed to
be Democrat; ..e was Republican from
principle, it was his birthri sht and be W as
the open enemy Of the Democracy, but be
was an honest man, be pledged himself to
serve the people faithfully, knowing no
law or rule that would bind him to iu,-
tice. His pledges have been redeemed as
We are plainly told by his bitter fight
against Moses and Whipper. He has
purified the Government as far
a. his jurisdiction extends and
has the hand Of fellowship from the people,
and yet the wall comes from the political
blatants in Congress that the Northern
mans life is not safs in the Southern
country. Far nearer the truth would it be
to say that the Southern men is not safe
in his own country, for i. is 50 overridden
BY outlaws and incendiaries from the
North who occupy all the Offices Of trust,
that there was at one time danger of q
worse anarchy than the war with all its
h0nors Of nnAar;n. and do.aa.al;.a4;es
