Here is another 'evil Southerners, holy Northerners' gem from the New York Times. This one is from the April 5, 1861, issue.

SECTIONAL HATRED IN THE UNITED STATES

One point he [William H. Russell, correspondent of the London Times] is able to stick to a conclusion, -- he has discovered that there is no nation on earth which hates another so cordially as the Southern Secessionists hate the people of the Free States, whom they seem to look at as their bitter and uncompromising enemies. It is safe to assume that he finds no such spirit of hostility on the part of Northern men towards their Southern brethren.
