Southern Planters, who, having no facto-

1 he hostile spirit we have described is
not confined TO Virginia and South Caro-

IDLE among certain set of politicians in
our own state. We need scarcely remind
you of the language held by a leading men,

Hall of Wilmington, BY which the men,
upon whose sweat and labor the prosperity
and happiness of every community exist,
and that class OF persons who have brought
ito our country, from abroad, their talents
and industry, were prescribed as " hire

is destroyed, it is impossible that they can

These men also say that manufactures
