COUNTRY MERCHANTS.--The Norfolk
Beacon takes correct view of the case when says
that the great agents in efecting change in the
commercial character of the South must be the
Country Merchants" whom it calls upon to "reaze
the decacy oftheir position, and the heavy response
bility resting upon them 1t says:
Iii is for them 10 say at least for the present,
whether Virginia shall and prosper. hang her
head in lowly subsection to the North. The coun-
try merchant now has it in his power 10 enrich his
state, while he wins envasle reputation for him
self. VIII he hesitate to tread the path oldnty /!
VIII he fling a nete in the path OF his native state !
VIII he seek the North, and favor stranger instead
of a friend Will he not love his neighbour as
himself"
We answer that the country merchant is ~
cinian and Virginian will lift his hand against hs
native state. Already bright signs are appearing.
In the last Petersburg Intelgencer we observe the
advertisement Of Messrs. Hobbs q Co OF llIckstord,
who come out and declare that every package OF Their
goods was bought the Virginia importer, and we
most heartily wish that these patriotic men Will be
handsomely encouraged by the people"

Twill give you my own opinion why
your Constitutional rights have been
SO basely trampled on. II you had
sent in November, as Representatives
TO Congress, two good "Deo'ocrats"
as they are called. not the slightest
breath from that house would have
impcded their admission, but you
were guilty OF selecting men Of your
own choice without consulting the
presiding powers at the Capitol, and
on that account are detraaded Of the
treasure Of all others laost dear to IN
American citizen.
Believe me, the great fundamental
principles Of our Constitution are fast
passing away. That Constitution is
like the splendid edi6ces Of some noble
