11 APPENDIX TO THE FOREGOING ARTICLE— “THE VULGARITY OF TREASON.” Extracts from Rebel Organs. {From the “ Charleston Mercury”) Our women are all conservative, moral, religions, and sensitively modest, and abhor the North for its infidelity, gross immorality, licentiousness, anarchy, and agrarianism. ’Tis they and the clergy who lead and direct the disunion movement. It is a gross mistake to suppose that Abolition alone is the cause of dissension between the North and the South. The Cavaliers, Jacobites, and Huguenots, who settled the South, naturally hate, contemn, and despise the Puritans who settled the North.

Gypsies and free negroes have many amiable, noble, and generous traits ; the Yankees, sour-crout Germans, filthy, whiskey-drinking Irish, and Canadians, have none. Senator Wade says, and Seward too, that the North will absorb Canada. They are half true; the vile, sensual, animal, brutal,
