From the Washington Reformer.
Convention Of Southern
Merchants.

This assembly meets IN October
and it is highly important that every
Southern city and borough should he
represented. 1t is high time that means
should be devised to enable the South,
the growers of two thirds of our ex-
ports, to import directly the products
of foreign skill and industry received
in exchange. 1t is one of the most re-
markable facts in all history, that, for
years, exchanges have been most ruin
Gus to the South, and in favor of the
North, while the former is the chief ex-
porter, furnishing two-thirds of the sta
pie which constitutes the real wealth
of the community! This is an artifi-
cial state Of things, growing out of the
concentration of banking capital in the
North; and it ought to open the eyes
Of the Southern people, If any thing
can. Shall we throug Oh the legislation
of the General Government. again
build up the banking institutions in the
North; and thus enable Northern can't
talIsts to tax us from ten to twenty per
cent. on foreign and domestic bills.
while we have the true bills fexchange
IN cotton, rice, and tobacco? Let the
South look to this now. The present
is the most propitious juncture to effect
such an equality in exchanges as shall
secure us against the evils of the sys-
tenn which has SO longimpoverished us.
The capitalists ofthe North must make
exchanges more equal, or lose the trade
OF the South. They ask for the aid of
Government to enable them to fix the
exchanges permanently in their favor.
The Government refuses them this aid :
and, as we think, most Justly refuses.
Now, then, let the South seize the oc-
caslon, and take the control of their
own matters in their own hands. IF
true to themselves, they can divert
trade to their own neglected ports, and
our grass grown streets will be grass
pull, and Rf aifB9GRfr q I2ng pull, astrong
solate section will again blossom as f he
rose.

ain truth, if Mr.. Calhoun has come
out in favor of the Message, he is but
following out the principles which ms
party in South Carolina have always
protested" Columbus Democrat.
Here is an admission to which we
beg leave to call the attention OF every
one.-What is the nature of it, Moth
ing more or less than that Mr.. Van
Buren, has promulgated in his message
the very doctrines the nullifers shave
always protested" doctrines which the
Democrat has always opposed, and doc
trines which we have always supported
We are glad the Democrat is begin
ming to agree with the NuHjfers, and
we greet it on at last discovering the
truth Of our doctrines. We take con-
siderable credit on ourselves for this
conversion, for we believe our article
in the Argus ofthe goth of August last,
tended in great measure to open ITS
eyes to the truth. The nuUJying De-
mocrat and the "nuLIJying" Argus, will
now Jog on cheek By jOo0I.
~ In the Senate on the 14th Sept
Mr.. R1vEs of Va. expressed his desire
that the Committee of Finance should
report bill designating the funds re-
ceivable in payment of the public dues.
Mr.. Wright, Chairman of the Com
mittee, expressed an opinion that the
Committee would report no bill on the
subject the present session, but leave
the law as it is.-Mr. Rives then re-
marked, that he was not sent to the
special Session of Congress to relieve
the Government, but the People, and he
saw nothing in the Bills reported that
looked at all to the relief of the great
body of the people. He spoke with
much zeal and declared he would not
return home willingly without attempt
ing to relieve the diStresses of the coun-
try. So it seems the ma ority in Cen
gress, is determined to act in accord
ance with the terms of the message in
which Mr.. Van Buren, declared-as to
legislating for the purpose Of relieving
the pecuniary embarrassments of the
people "that sHch measures are not
,Uithin the Constitutional province of
the General Government" If Congress
has no constitutional right to legislate
for the benefit of the people, what has
it constitutional right to do! Legs
late for the office holders?

The Columbus Democrat, and Major
McNut.-Since the Democrat has at

the Nullifers agree in doctrine, we
shall soon expect it to haul down the

orthodox than the Majors. Come,
gentlemen, go the ",Dhole S,Oine," with

Sunday morning. The first, whom he
waited upon, welcomed him with the most
obseeuious condescension, treated him with
all the attention in the world, professed that
he was so desirous Of seeing him, that he
had mentioned Sunday as the time for his
visit, supposing him 10 be too much enga.
ged during the week, to spare time enough
for the purpose, concluded his compliments
by an eulogy on painting, and smiled him
affectionately to the door. Sir Joshua left
him, to call upon the other. That one re.
ceived him with respectful civility, and be.
hayed to him Us he would have behaved to
an equal in the pcerage said nothing
about Raphael nor Correggio, but convers.
ed with case about literature and men. This
nobleman was the Earl of Chesterfield. Sir
Joshua felt, that though the one had said
that he respected him, the other had proved
that he did, and went away from this one
gratifed rather than from the first. Read.
er,there is wisdom in this anecdote. Mark,

CONVERSATION.

The great business in company is con.
vcrsation. 1t should be studied as an art.
Style in conversation is as Important, and
as capable of cultivation as style in writing.
The manner ofsaying things is what gives
them their value.
The most important requisite for sue.
ceeding here, is constant and unfaltering at
tention. That which Churchill has noted
as the greatest virtue on the stage, is also
the most necessary in company,-to be
':always attentive TO the business of the
scene" Your understanding should, like
your person, be armed at all points. Never
60 into society with your mind en- dishabil7e.
1t is fatal to success to be at all absent or
distrdit. The secret Of conversation has
been said to consist in building upon the
remark Of your companion. Men of the
strongest minds; who have solitary habits
and broken dispositions, rarely excel in
sprightly coloquy, because they seize upon
the thing itself-the subject abstractly,-in-
stead of attending to the language Of other
speakers, and do not cultivate rerbal pleas.
antrics and rcGnements. He VINO does
otherwise gains reputation for quickness,
and pleases BY showing that he has regard.
ed the observation of others.
1t is an error to suppose that conversa-
ton consists in talking. A more important
thing is to listen discreetly. Mirabeau said,
that 10 succeed in the world, it is necessary
to submit to be taught many things which
you understand, by persons who know moth.
ing about them. Flattery is the smooth.
est path to success; and the most refined
and gratifying compliment you can pay, is
to listen. "The wit of conversation consists
more in finding it in Others" says Bruyere,
''than in showing great deal yourself: he
who goes from your conversation pleased
with himself and his own wit, is perfectly
well pleased with you. Most men had
rather please than admire you, and seek
less to be instructed, may, delighted,-than
10 be approved and applauded. The most
delicate pleasure is to please another"
1t is certainly proper enough TO convince
others of your merits. But the highest
idea which you can give man of your
own penetration, isto be thoroughly i'm.
pressed with his.-D.
sand when man is mean and low-spirited
enough to practice it, he often reaps his reward:
but if his conscience is not scared as with a
hot iron, he must always feel that his reward
is the fruit of fdishonesty.-ED. CHER. GAz.

CHINESE EDICT AGAINST THE CHRISTIAN

This edict, issued May 81, 1886, by
Lew, acting magistrate of the Nahae dis
trict, &c. in the name Of the emperor, is
prominently directed against Popery, but
alludes to the circulation of books by Mr..

Of truth in China this edict may occasion, it
