You can't take up northern paper,
but what you see the OutcrOppinys of
this degeneracy. The Puritan blood

"Ehc peace Of the brick church at

Aas been going Oh in the church at the
spelling bees that are held in the
sanctuary as nightly entertainments.
Tho new pastor, Rev. Mr.. Dyer, was
shocked to find thatmalcs and females,
r;pc spiusierS, elderly maidens, and
| DiuShlAg GamSciS, were engaged in
| these o5c;Iatory performances, and
| counting the number Of times that

| church officials wouldn't pay the shcr-
| ifs fee, the pastor had to pay it him
| self"
Not much Iuriianism about that, is
| there! And here is another in the
Boston Herald OF last week, which
says: 'Thc committee on public
schools Of Boston report that III one Of
the schools IA dozen boys have within
| a short time been arrested for stealing.
One hoy struck his teacher such hGaV-
blow aS nearly killed her. Another
| boy fought his teacher with a loaded
| bludgcon two feet long. Three other
boys kicked their teacher, end another
drew II revolver or Yer. Eight Of tho
| boys belong to band called tho Forty
Thieves, who meet regularly and plan
stealing expeditions. And there are
three other schools that are worse
| than than this one"
Now, we have Il right to inquire
when these oSculatory and ursinc per
| formances are going TO be prohibited,
and when will those school boys be cdu-
| Gated up to the level of republican man
| ners. Will Massachusetts do it? You
may travel fran Virginia to Texas and
you can't find any thing to compare
with it. Isn't it strange that they will
presume to lecture us on morality?
NcCaulcy says IN his essays: "The
Puritana hated bear. .bating-not be-
cause it gave pain to the bear, but be-
| cause IT gave pleasure to The Specta-
tors" And so / reckon the north
abuses us about the negro not because
of any love or pity for him, but be-
cause we make such a good use of
him.
In a later letter to the Charleston
Courier, DR.. Phelps is more consider
ate in language, and admits they made
great mistake in giving the negro
the ballot. lie saysit struck nature a
