The Word "Yankee."

The origin Of the word Yankee is
now difficult to trace. The old spell
ing was Yankey.- Some have said
that it was coined in Europe and used
to designate all persons in the Amer.
lean colonies. Others have argued
that it could be traced to the Indians
in their attempts to pronounce Eng
lish. and called them Yamghees.
The learned DR.. Thatcher declares it
was first used by one jonathan Hast
ing, q farmer of Cambridge, Mass, as
a cant word to express excellence; As
a Yankee good house, or Yankee
coed cider just as the people OF
Louisiana, when Recommending any
article for sale at New Orleans, de-
claire it real Creole butter, or Creole
eggs. At any rate. the word Yankee.
has become famous word, and while
our southern brethren poin, indscsimi.
nateIy to al! Northerners as Yankees
nevertheless the genuine Yankee will
continue to be found down East"
where he WAS first discovered When
he is found in any other quarter Of
the country he may be recognized,
but he is away from home.
