The Difference.
--That the people of the
Southern States are perfectly in earnest in their resolve to cast off oppression, and if necessary effectually eradicate the instruments by which it is sought to be perpetuated, is just as certain as that the sun shines.
By nothing is it more clearly demonstrated than by the quality of the men they send to
Virginia as the vanguard of the band of patriotic and loyal sons of the sunny
South, who are to drive back and overthrow the hireling hosts of the baboon
President.
All the soldiers, without exception, who have thus far arrived from the
South, wear that look of fixed determination and invincible resolve that bodes but little of good to the continued prosperity, welfare and boasted power of the scurvy knaves enlisted to subjugate a free people.
An embargo being now laid on the shipping interest, Southern farmers might be at a loss for their accustomed supply of guano, had not the
North, with its usual eye to business, stepped forward and sent us from the gutters and purlieus of its great cities the refuse scum of its odoriferous, thieving, idle, abandoned, dissolute, God-forsaken, hell-deserving and gallows-tending subjects.
They exhibit their usual shrewdness in getting them prepared for the sacrifice at no expense to themselves.--They send them forth commissioned to pillage and destroy — a pleasant device to get rid of them, the object really being that the
Southerner, indignant at the intrusion, shall convert the regamuffins into manure.
After one or two battles, guano will be at a discount.--Our farmers will have something better than the Peruvian,
Jarvis, or Elide Island article.
It will be an improved kind, thoroughly manipulated and ready for use in the raising of corn, tobacco, wheat, &c.
Billy Wilson alive is but the disgusting bully, braggart, shoulder-striking thief;
Billy Wilson functus will afford guano enough for a pretty extensive tobacco plant-bed.
A squad of his pick-pockets,
Sing Sing comrades, in the same interesting predicament, will guano twenty acres of the most sterile land.
What the
North intends as a curse will, in the end, under the wise ministration of a beneficent
Providence, be converted into a blessing.
We want manure, and the
North sends us regiments of animated guano.
Their motive is questionable, but when so much good is to result, who will stand on mere punetilio
