Supplement to slte gailn lentil The Savannah Daily Herald PREJUDICED VIEWS OP THE POUR OF THE SOUTH. The public ought to give little credence to the statements of politicians in regard to any thing affecting their own interests. In most things this rule is tolerably well observed, but in regard to the institutions of the South, all kinds of opinions, the most inconsistent and contradictory as well as those having some aspect of probability, are held by my riads on the mere say-so of the press. Tue whole force of the anti-slavery, and conse quent anti-southerns sentiment of the North, has grown of credence to extravagant state ments concerning the cruet and brutalizing effect of the institution of slavery as it exist ed in our southern States. But now that such exaggerations are rendered useless by the destruction of slavery, and it is desirable to make the people ot the North believe the blacks superior to tbe white southerner of the laboring class, from which not only Presi dent Johnouu Wl oy L.K4UJ wuci U“'»s ed men have sprung, we lind in many of the northern political papers a very different yr x -»-»—» is*. T^kq_fhr. instance the ' following from a Chicago paper : “According to all accounts from all parties, there is no such class of people in auy civil ized country as the poor white trash of the South. For generation alter generation they have been trampled under the heels of the slaveholders, uutil at last they are more embruted than the slave himself. England has its social leprosy in the agricultural la borers ot the southern shires, anil with the poor Irish that live with their pigs and poul try ; but these are a healthy and even prince ly people compared with the white refuse of the Southern States. Wherever men will Work there is hope for them ; tor iu spite of the curse, there is a dignity in labor which rescues it from savagery, even though the wages, as in the English and Irish examples, are barely sufficient to support life. But idle ness kills both body ane soul. No wonder, therefore, that with an indo lent and spiritless people, such as the poor white trash are, there such be a state of so ciety down South that is utterly revolting. The aristocrats, who have hitherto held the land and the slaves, have forbidden all im provement in the condition of the poor whites. They have discouraged schools and newspapers, because they instinctively felt that these peculiar institutions were at enmi ty with their peculiar institution, and the re sult has been that the whites have grown up iu a state of ignorance, compared with which ludian barbarism is scholarship and civiliza tion." Now we assure our northern readers from a lifetime of persoßtl observation, and care ful study ot tbe facts, that these and similar charges against the whke laboring popula tion o 1 the South are as substantially as un founded as tbe previous assumptiou of the degradation of the negro under slavery as it existed in this section. As isolated cases of cruelty to the slave were once given to the Northern people, and received in good faith by them, as evidence of universal demoral ization and debasement, so now exceptional types of poor southerners are held up as rep resenting the entire class. There is no difficulty in finding specimens of the degraded wtiite man in the South, brutalized and stunted in his moral growth by unfavorable surrounding circumstances. Especially is this true where the great plan ter interest has been supreme, or where a hard soil and a poor market have prevented the accumulation of property. But even in New Eugland, says a Boston paper, such districts with such inhabitants may be found. Like causes produce like effects everywhere- In the Western States innumerable localities of similar character exist. But if we .take the entire poor white population of the Southern States together, we shall find them differing but little, save in one point, from the same class of native population in the North. Education is not so common nor so good among them as ainoug the farmers and mechanics of the North, although a large majority are able to read and write, and are thus in advance of tbe English yeomanry and peasantry from which they sprang. But the manhood of this great body of peo ple remain vital and sound. It is only ne cessary to point to the energy with which they have fought the Union Armies for the last four years, to convince unprejudiced minds of this fact. Honestly and intelligent ly studied and compared with the yeomanry of tbe North, in all that makes men, the white rural population of the South are not unwor- SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1865. thy the brotherhood of men which is un questionably theirs. A little ruder perhaps, less affected by the contiguity of cities and manulacturing towns, less acquainted with books, they unquestionably are. But the natural shrewdness, courage, and resources ot the Anglo-Saxon, his energy, his self confidence and belief in bis manifest destiny, exist, and show themselves as strongly in the poor white man of the South as his coin patiiotot the North. Iu truth, the condition of the poor w hite people of the South has never been understood in the North. But we are convinced one of the but results of the war, will be to make the sections better acquainted with each other. Nearly two millions ol Northern men have visited the South and returned, and although they came as an army, and were met as “invaders," yet they were unavoidably brought in con tact with many ol their fellow countrymen of this section, in such a way as to give them better ideas of things as they exist than could be gained by them in any other These mc-n have returned home, and tbe knowledge they have gained, must be felt in its influence upon community, in spite of all the politicians can do, and indirect an tagonism with their wishes and interest. The South and the North will be better known to each other limn before, and tbe in fluence of this knowledge can be but on the side of cordial re-union and a future good understanding.
