The Daily Dispatch: June 4, 1861., [Electronic resource], A Northern Secessionist (search)
A Northern Secessionist --A Northern gentleman, whilom a resident in Cincinnati, came here a year and a half ago to hang bells. When Lincoln was elected, the bell-hanger was among the first to sound the tocsin of alarm. From him Memphians learned that except himself every Northerner was "a black-hearted scoundrel." His own father he stigmatized as the Abolition offspring of an animal classified as canine by Buffon and other writers on the animated creation. The end of the gentleman proves his last assertion true; for he trotted out of Memphis some weeks since, shook the dust off his tail, and smelt his way to Philadelphia, remarking as he went, that he would "rather blacken boots in the North than hang bells in the South." This violent change of sentiment is due to the fact that he owed some rent for his kennel, and various other little bills. While among us it wagged its tail, as its father did before it, in answer to the name of "Bill Kinnan." Memphis (Tenn.) Argus.
