BE SURE or YOJR FACTS,
The reader cannot have forgotten the accounts which
have been recently published from the "Lowcll Times
of the 18th ut aud the very eloquent denunciatiom
papers, of the unfriendly and irritating conduct of the
citizens of Lowell towards the South The facts were
taken for grantcdby most OF those who the state
ments in this quarterand the deepest excitement was
Immediately produced. We took fire at what was be-
lieved TO be rne-at the insult offered 10 the soutla
trade was TO be stoppcd-and she in fact be put
undcr the ban of the South.
Under this impulse, the Wing of this City, in run
ming think far ahead of the crisis and premature
~ pressing Convention of the Southern Merchants
singles out Lowell the immediate object of Southern
vengeance, in the following strains:
"Ihc proposed Convention of Southern Merchants is
the first step 10 be taken Convention of Virginia
Merchants would be held assured at short notice;
but is ~ desirable that those of the whole South should
act IN concert--and we doubt not that they will. twill
therefore, require tme say three four months before
general Convention of such proposed would

thing depends, will have time for action their part

We were indignant as any one was at the supposed
conduct OF Lowe-but we ought first To have been
OF the facts
Some OF the Politicians South of caught fire at the
same reports The Charleston Mercury declared that

residents of this city, and that they have taken con-
