12 superstitions Democracy of Canada and the Yankee States will coalesce; and Senator Johnson of Tennessee will join them. But when Canada and Western New York, and New England, and the whole beastly, puritanic, “ sour-crout,” free-negro, filthy, whiskey-drinking Irish, infidel, superstitious, licentious,' Democratic population of the North become masters of New York—what then? Out of the city, the State of New. York is Yankee and puritanical, composed of as base, unprincipled, superstitious, licentious, and agrarian and anarchical population as any on earth. Nay, we do not hesitate to say, it is the vilest population on earth. (From the Louisville, Ky., Courier. *) * This paper was driven out of Louisville, and was printed for a time under the protection of the rebel army at Bowling Green. It has since died. We are not brothers of the Yankees, and the “Slavery Question ” is merely the pretext^ not the cause, of the war. The true “ irrepressible conflict ” lies fundamentally in the hereditary hostility, the sacred animosity, the eternal antagonism, between the two races engaged. The Norman cavalier cannot brook the vulgar familiarity of the Saxon Yankee, while the latter is continually devising some plan to bring down his aristocratic neighbor to his own detested level. Thus was the contest waged in the old United States. As our Norman kinsmen in England, always a minority, have ruled their Saxon countrymen in political vassalage up to the present day—so have we, the “ Slave Oligarchs,” governed the Yankees till within a twelvemonth. We framed the Constitution, for seventy years moulded the policy of the government, and placed our own men, or “Northern men with Southern principles,” in power. On the 6th November, 1860, the Puritans emancipated themselves, and are now in violent insurrection against their former owners. This insane holiday freak wil not last long, however, for, dastards in fight, and incapable of self-government, they will inevitably again fall under the control of the superior race. A few more “ Bull Bun ” thrashings will bring them once more under the yoke, as docile as the most loyal of our Ethiopian “ chattels.”
