II appears from the partial confession Of the

THE FALL TRADE.

| AS the season is now at hand when the countr,
merchants that are now, and were formerly in tin
habit OF making their purchases here, must deter
mine whether they will go TO the northern markets
or come to our own, for their fall supplies we think
1t but due to the enterprise of merchants as il
may prove to be to the convenience and interest OF
the country merchants, to inform them that we
have understood, from good authority, that the I'M
portaiions, direct from England our city, will be
much heavier the coming fall, than they have
for some seasons past and that our market will be
well supplied, with all the leading articles adapted
to the fall trade, from this source Wo will men,
ton, also, what is known to some of our readers
that we are not now dependent upon the north
ern markets, as formerly, for brown cotton goods
as they manufactured to some extent in
our immediate neghbourhood, of superior quality
and better adapted to wants, than those brought
to from the North; and what is still better, they
are sold quito cheap, and afford fair profit to
the manufacturers. AS closely connected with
what we have stated, will say that we know our
merchants have very generally expressed the de-
termination to sell at such rates, to every
inducement, with the country merchants, to visit
Philadelphia and New York for tho purpose of
purchasing goods. Indeed of them have
gone so far, upon this point, to say that they
will sell as cheap, in this market, goods can
be obtained in the same quantities, in any market
in the United States. When the expenses of car
rying on business, in this place, contraBted with
those of Philadelphia and New York, we cannot
with the great difference in favour of this city,
why our importers, and those who purchase in large
quantities in the northern markets. should not be abe
to sell chsap the jobbcrs of Phila. and n York;
who, except to very uncomfortable extent, de-
pend their markets for their supplies
But this is not all-the opinion is general with
our merchants, that they must supply goods as
cheap in this market they can be obtained in the
Northern markets; lose the trade that yet re,
mains to our city The influence of this opinion,
which We have doubt, is correct one, will qua
rantee to the country merchants-that strong in
ducements will be held out to them here the ensu-
ing fall. If however, with these preparations and
feelings on the part of our merchants, the country
merchants should pass them by without an attempt
TO supply themselves, the consequence will be- that
the jobbing houses here, will either remove to the
northern cities, what is probable, establish
stores at the most important places throughout the
State, and become the competitors Of those whom
they have sought to mako customers.

upon this mutter:-"Mr. Van Buren's presses and

is precisely the man of all others most likely to be
operated upon by such an influence He had ac-
CURED great military fame; he had seen the highest
honor III the world rendered him by an intelligent
people: he had u faIuo and popularity of which he
was justly proud. Major Eaton was his faporcd
iriend---his bIooRArHER. He belieped that Major
Eaton 'cas one Of the dblest ,oritcrs of the day;
and, as such, he gave him his private papers and
appointed him member of his cabinet, under the
expectation that that circumstance would piye more
character TO the historian whom he had selected TO

thus led to identify Maj Eaton with his admins

Tomato TO his love of fame Added to this Major
Eaton soon became conscious of his own weakness

want OF capacity, or derelction of duty but solely
through the exertions of that ''malign influence ~
which has controlled the public councils, through

The basis of the compromise may be considered
presume, the return of the Governor to tho
rough and unqualified Jacksonism; for it seems he
comedies that tho President has done NOTHING in
this matter, which cannot be forgiven; done moth
ing for which he should be abandoned; done MOTH
ing improper which did result from his pecuLiar
