1473 - L. Jan. 4; ed: 2/1 - An article found in BLACKWOOD'S, an English
magazine, terms this country, "Our Rancorous Cousins." In this
article BLACKWOOD'S thinks we are making many mistakes and censures us
for the war over freeing the slaves. -
"It is a lamentable fact that men, generally considered well in-
formed, should be found so ignorant as to call the attempt to suppress
the rebellion an 'Effort to enslave the South.' But it is still more
lamentable that men who profess to be the friends of the blackman,
should be found so mean as to apply such terms to an endeavor to
extirpate a bastard confederacy founded upon slavery as its corner-
stone." - . . . . (13)
