The Northern fanatics who hate the
South because they cannot humble her,
have many beautiful theories about all
men being born equal, aud ell that sort
Of nonsense. It is worthy of note,
however, that these sanity devils
want these theories put In practice on
the South only. They don't want to
prove their faith BY their works. They
have no more use for "niggers" than
the most extreme Bulldozers and
White Leaguers of the South, but they
think that niggers are good enough TO
rule over Rebels and ext onfederates.
They are eternal!y preaching ana
curslng because the Southern people
do not recognize the social and pollt'
ical equality Of the lowest race
that God placed on the face OF tue
earth, but they never excite themselves
up to the point of practicing what
they preach. They never elect mig
gers TO office, they never allow them to
compete with white laborers, aud for
the negroes among them they have the
utmost contempt. In California the
Yankees rush around, shoot and stab
Chinese, Mexicans and negroes for
pastime. The pious Northern hypo-
critical fanatics raise their hands in
holy horror at this, and do nothing. In
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, aud Kentucky
they tell lies to the negroes and vote
them, but they never elect them to Of
fee. We all know how they pretended
to be so very much interested in the
affairs Of the negroes, that they felt it
incumbent on themselves 10 take care
OF the poor creatures money. They
wheedled many Of the negroes into
putting their hard earnings into the
Freedman's Savings Bank aud Trust
Company. So soon as they got the
money they divided it out aud kept it
But the most notable proofs Of thell
contemplate hypocrisy are to be found
in the way they have treated the negro
