Blaine has again appealed to sec
tional hate aud dipped afresh his
dirty shirt in imagined gore, and
flannting it to the disgust of decen-
cy, under the inspiration of bitter
prejudice, has desecrated the Re
public's birth day and made an ass
Of himself. At Woodstock, Conn,
on the 4th, before an audience of
several thousand, he let fly one Of
his most acrimonious fGsillades at
the South and everything Southern.
The pretext he gave for his furious
fulminade and the premises for his
whole oratorical onslaught were
false. He assumed that there was a
growing sentiment in the country
in favor of taking a slice of terri
tory from Mexico, and covertly as.
saulted the President for allowing
the cattlejthieves to be chased back
across the Rio Grande. He cen
sured the Texas Representative who
has been advocating the punish
ment of these thieves, and assumes
in effect that there is no interest
save New England interests, there
are no virtues outside her borders,
her rights alone are sacred, her
people must govern the whole coun-
try and dictate to the South in mat
tiers that solelyiconcern the South.
Said Representative, like a man and
a patriot, doing his duty TO his sec
tion and to the honor of the Union,
advocated the punishment of the
outlaws in the only effective way,
and here comes this tall disciple of
prescription and arrogantly curses
him. He assumes that the South
wants Mexican territory, and then
says that it will be dangerous to the
Republic,if the south is allowed to
grow and increase, entertaining
views hostile to the Government.
He says that the men who in war
o,l ,,r,zo1 coed 4bo TTr;op eb1,,ll
still govern it, and the men who
fought to destroy it should be kept
down and not allowed to increase in
numbers and power. He says that
countless majority of Northern
men recognize the paramount au-
thority of the National Government
and pay it paramount allegiance,
while at the South the opposite be-
lief is entertained and practiced.
This is false in that it is so broadly
asserted. The South distinctly re
cognizes the supremacy of the gen.
eral government in all matters in
the sphere of its prerogatives, but
in matters purely concerning the
States, they believe, with the franz
ers of the government, that States
are supreme. The South holds that
this is confederation of independ- |
ent States, supreme in themselves in
all matters pertaining to their in
ternal workings, and subordinate
alone in matters of comfy between
States or retween the Union and
foreign governments. We of the
South never denied the right of the
Federal head TO interfere in matters
coming within the scope above eX
pressed, and this whole discussion
has grown out of the attempt of the
administration to interfere in State
matters. The South loves the Tn
ion as well as Mr.. Blaine or any of
the balance of his blather skiting
brother slandegers, but she loves
the supremacy of the States and she
loves to see the powers at Wash
ington exercised in matters in which
they can rightfully interfere
Blane's speech in Dissertation of
the day he professed to love is a
premeditated SANDER and lie from |
end to end, growing out of his ha
tired for the South, which is born of
the pure cussedness that is inherent /
in his kind If these thieves were |
coming over from Canada and steal
ing his neighbors' cattle, his voice
would be raised in a piercing howl
for vengeance; but as it is the South /
that is suffering, he approaches it
under the chin veil of QuiXotic
seutimentalism" he deprecates in
others, and under broad glare of
Uriah Heepish diabolism which
so BELTS him, and in egoistic mad
ness curses everything and every
body that is not as putrid as Blaine.
He is unfortunate in assuming that /
no one knows anything but Blaine.
The Courier Journal fastens two |
glaving inaccuracies in history upon /
him they were simply lies manu-
featured by Blaine to Islander the
South Ben Hill will soon be heard
from.
A personal friend of jefferson
Davis, who has lately arrived in
Washington, says that Mr.. Davis is
busily engaged in the completion of
his work on the war. 1t viii be put
to press in the fall. Mr.. Davis will
criticise very severely the policy
and plans of Gen. Joe. L. johnson
as Confederate chieftain, and viii
charge on him the full responsibility
for the non-pursuit of the Federal
forces into Washington on the oc-
