Henry Ward Beecher: “In the North, men are educated to be something--in the South to seem something.”

Remember, that New-England brought to America those principles which every State in the Union has more or less thoroughly adopted.

And so great are the achievements of labor that everybody honors it.

But the North will be an utterly dead force in the American nation.

The South, the truest representation of Absolutism under republican forms, is mightier in our National Councils and Policy to-day than New-England, the mother and representative of true republicanism and the whole free North.
