Baltimore has the honor Of discbar-

mercial independence Of the South
Knowing the impregnable ground on
which the South stands, the American
does not assail it by the legitimate
methods of warfare, but resorts to hue
and cry, and TO positive, although un-
intentional, we are sure, misrepresen-
tation. 1t charges upon the "prlme
movers" of commercial independence

terest distinct from that Of The other
portions Of the National Uuioa, "a
charge wholly unwarranted by the
resolutions of the Convention, which
breathed the finest spirit toward our
Northern brethren by the general
reasoning of the report of Gen. Iayne,
and by the unqualified declarations OF
the members of the body, and OF the
presses which sustain their cause
The American talks of "the utter
impossibiIity of carrying out the mea-
sures proposed" And in faith what

the Northern TOWNSHIPS is quite a

States, or the rice and cotton produ

misrepresentation, and pursues with
abuse. What right has that journal
to lmpugn the patriotism ofmen whose
characters stand unimpeached and un.
impenchable, aud whose only crime is
that they seek to enrich their native
land with the wealth that springs from
its bosom The American goes for
the rhofe country--not as il ought to
be--but as il iS-that is, with Southern
commerce ruined, and Southern wealth
almost wholly appropriated to Northern
purposes patriotism not loiilcr and
certainly more convenient and proiita.
BILE than can be attributed to the citl-
zens Oft South, who wish to establish
direct trade with Europe, according
10 the showing of the American.
The American then charges upon
the Report and resolutions of the Con.
veniion, as " breathing n spirit Of 10.
tai estrangement between the Southern
and Northern interests, the litter being
treated as subversivc of and unconge-
NAL with the former" This charge
is unjust, unwarrantcd and untrue -
There is not sentence that will au-
ihorize such construction. The A..
merican has certainly not read the
report.--lt takes for granted that the
South ought 10 be kept down, and that
every effort to raise herself is foul and
bloody treason. II is ready 10 curse
the South for the least motion, as the
laborer did the eel that writhed while
he was sknning it. We venture 10
assert that no candid man, who is not
interested in Northern commerce, can
draw an unfavorable inference 10 the
Union from the report Of the Conven-
ton. AS for ourselves, wo 20 for The
Union one and indivislble, new and
forever, but not for the mhoic coun.
try unchanged and Interchangeable. We
wish to see the South doing Tor herself
what the North mas done with 50 much
profit. We wish the Southern states
TO sell where they can sell dearest, and
to buy where they can buy cheapest -
in other words, to act as free agents
in commerce as IN agrlcnliure--to
husband their resourcos--to build up

their proper strength, and ia all their

This elevation Is situated in the south

about twenty five miles north east from
Middlebury, and about the same distance
in a westerly direction from Montpelier.

ing one of increasing interest TO the lovers
of the sublime.
