In reply to the interrogatories eiciting his

"Thus the import trade of New York
has gradually increased from gl89, 0oO
sterling, (about $840,O0O) in the year
l760, and from about three millions OF
dollars, in l79l,to the enormous sum in
1882, of ffty-seyen millions of dollars -
while Virginia has fallen off, 10 her i'm
port trade, from two and a half millions OF
dollars in 1891, to $4,000 in 1929, and
S55O,OO0 in l832-not a great deal more
than the freight of half a do zen shipsl
"From these calculations a few curious
facts appear. The imports Of New York
were, in 1882, seventeen times as great as
they We've in 1891. Virginia, on the 9TH
er hand, imported, in 1929, about one
eleventh of what she did in l760, and
and about ~one-seventh of what she did ia
1871. In a period. too, ofeight years, the
aggregate imports of New York amount
ed to three hundred and eleven millions OF
dollars; those of South Carolina to about
sixteen millions, and those of Virginia to
about i've millionsl New York import
ed, therefore, in 1882, eleven times as
much as Virginia did in eight years pre-

DEFERRED ARTICLES,
THE SLAVERY sTR1cKEN SOUTH

A committee appointed by the South
ern Merchants Convention has put forth
an address, demonstrating and bewailing
the decline of Southern Trade, much more
ably than it points out the means OF it's res
toratlon. They want to get rid of the dis
ease without removing the cause, or even
so much as mentioning it. 1t seems from
their account of the matter, that the hab-
its of the Southern people have become
such that they do not husband their prod
ucts, but suffer the profits made by theil
exchange to go wholly to Northern mer-
chants. What makes their habits such !?
Climate? No. Geographical position ?
No. Want Of capital at the outset2 No.
They started first in the race, and have
fallen behind. The commerce of the
country has all gone to the North, contra
ry to nature. Such is the fact over which
the gentlemen merchants committee vent
the most eloquent grief. But they ought
to show more philosophy. They ought
to comfort themselves thus-"True, we
have lost the millions, but we have got a
noble, chlvalric, patriarchal, divinely ap-
pointed domestic institution, which the
North has not. True, we cannot set our
people, whom we have got as a possess
ion from the heather round about to
building ships, for they would run away
in them but we can make 'em work
without wages, which, batting the peck of
corn a week, sal: herring, and a yearly
shirt or so, is all clear gain. We've got
such a blessed cornerstone beneath us
so long as Canada and the West Indies
don't rwn Gaoay with il, that we are above
all peddling and pelf. Let the Northern.
ers have the trade and welcomed"
Here are some interesting extracts from
the address. which need no comment

The exports were in about the same
proportion; Virginia exporting about foul

York and Pennsylvania together; and
five times as much as all the New Eng

MISCELLAN

Why is it, in fact, that the tone of moral
ity in the high places of society, is so lax
and complaisant, but for want of the indie
pendent and indignant rebuke of society !
There is reproach enough poured upon the
drunkenness, debauchery and dishonesty
ofthe poor a The good people who
90 to him can speak plainly-ay, very
plainly, of his evil ways. Why is 1t, then,
that fashionable vice is able to hold up its
head, and sometimes to occupy the from,
ranks Of society! It is because respectable
persons of hesitating and compromising
virtue, keep it in c~ounienance. 1t is be.
cause timid woman stretches out her hand
to the man whom she knows to be the
deadiiest enemy Of morality and of her sex,
while she turns a cold eye upon the VIC
tins he has ruined. 1t is because there is
nobody to speak plainly in cases like these,
And do you think society is ever to be re.

OF these unjust and p~usillanimous com
promises 4 tell you. never. Solong as

character, waited upon the President of

tiers, documents, &c. &C., which he had
received from France, and which were
intended to prove. that the expedition now
fitting out in France ostensibly against
Mexico, is in reality intended against the
Island of Cuba The communication is
said to have excited considerable uneasi-
ness at Washington.
The Iowa Gazette, speaking Of the
death of Black Hawk, says:-

his hand, and enclosed with slabs or rails.
