Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-08-03

"CARPET- BAGaEHs." We hope this
word will pass out OF the literature OF
our politics. 1t is reproach TO every
emiCrant to the South, and has done
the South infinite harm. One OF the
Southern papers says that the gentle
men of the South do not OBJECT 10
Northerners coming in with their
Drawn and muscle; that they VIII
welcome them, provided they do not
interfere in politics. Why should TINS
restriction be imposed? If repupn-
can goes To Illinois he ran vote IS ne
plesses, run for office if he pleases,
and no one will rebuke him. why
should he not have the same risht III
South Carolina?-l Herald.
The Southern paper referred 70
tells the whole story. The tyranny
of the South demands its own con-
slant reinforcement. There IS no
thought of federation among the
dominant class of Southerners. They
will reign, unquestioned. The States
Of the South, under this cid inter
pretation. are the inviolable estates
Of the traditional Southerner. Vlr-
cinia is the private property OF VIZ
oinians. National citizenship is not
recognized there and is not permit
ted to have anything to do with It's
government. And Virginia sets the
example. Practically, the South is
the sacred soil Of Southerners. HE
Yankee is foreigner, and there are
no laws whereby he can be natural
lied. The Southerner may go where
he pleases in the Nation and say what
he will and do what he chooses; but
the South is for the feudal lords OF
the South and its politics are their
sole property. Nobody but South
erner has any right to political
opinion there. Mason and Dixon
line is like the Chinese wall-mark-
| ing the boundary of territory
within whicl4 none but the dwellers

opinions or participate III The GOV

sufficient cause for his ignominlous
punishment ard death are still prac

other absolute monarch, Southern
ism is amiable enough If Its oWr
sweet will is not crossed or qnes
toned. Any Northerner can g

must leave his Northernlsm behlnt
him and practice an unquestlonlhe
olleoianca to the infieXible law o
Southern opinion, promulgated ah'

rocate to themselves Il superiority

home and offer himself to the sui
frages of the people is unquestioned
But a Yankee of ten years resldenc
