'Whipping the South."
The only thing the Mongrels can offer
in defense of their horrible oppressions
in to appeal to the hatred and revenge
of the baser sort of society, and declare
that "the South has not yet been whip
ped enough " Well, it patedot be denied
that the South is sy thoroughly "whip
ped ' that both the staples of our com
merce, and the chief market for north
ern wares nre almost entirely destroyed
We have therefore "whipped the South"
so thoroughly, that we have wnipped

out of employment In the single city

every day will come less employment for
the labor` ng classes and greater abun
dance of pauper soup, while the Christian
work of "whipping the South" is allow
ed to go on. Some years ago Mr Seward,
always a demagogue, came back from a
visit to New Orleans, and made a speech
which electrified all the fools in the
North, by showing that the South was
so helpless that it, depended on northern
mechanics fir nearly all its wares Go•

cities, he "saw no hoes, harrows,

South, which was eagerly swallowed by
every human ass in the North, But
now, Seward tied his band of malignant
fool', have "Whipped the South" out of
the weans of buying our wares ; and in
