This is the tune in which the song
OF the scions Of the lords of the sunny
South is constantly pitched. Dixie,
with them, is patrimony. They who
20 there are accorded the hospitality
due to guests, friends and sympa
thisers, or treated to the scorn, detest-
alton and obloquy of intruders. The
iDfexible rulings of punctillious So
cie,y, rather than the impartial prin-
ciples of the political equality of citi-
zenship, these prevail there. SUM
ner who is now landed as dead saint
by Lamar and the statesmen OF his
school, rememb boring the scar OH the
back of his head, spoke of the South
as "The barbarous States" He meant
to say that the South WAS dominated
by passion and the pride of caste ami
birth, and not by the mild laws and
exact justice Of a true Democracy.
The slave holders were the teudal
barons they recognized no laws tn:
the swash buckler's laws of" hOnOr;"
statute laws were made for the mud
sill whites and the slave blacks.
When two gentlemen quarreiled they
resorted to personal combat. If one
was killed it was like the result OF a
death-dealing duel in Spain-a sud-
don death had occurred. and not any
scribbling editor or housing juryman
had any concern in it. When some
young lordlings of the SoU.il muir
<iered q tailor in Louisville, it was
Ssrgen, $ Prentiss' eloluentappealst to
tile preiudices Of caste that gained
their acIuiital. HanGinSs were re-
served for horse stealing whites,
crime committing blacks and Yankee
abolitionists. The trouble is that the
South has not undergone sufficient
degree Of reconstruction to be cured
of these bad results of early teachings.

We give the Senator credit
for not being in the least aware that
he was turning States evidence
against his section. It never entered
his head that the one thing above all
other things which every American
citizen has a right to do in the South
as in the North, is to take just as &C.
tive part i'm politics as he may see -,
and that nobody has any right To |
question what party he has cast his |
fortunes with. The tone Of the fore |

echo of the arrogant voice of the South. !
