SOUTHERN TRADE.

The exer,ions Of those patriotic and ~
telligent spirits who have been for years
laboring 10 break down and overthrow
that system of commercial vassalage by
which the south has been SO long Cypress
ed, will eventually be properly appreciate.
cd by every true southron. Discussion
and enquiry has opened the eyes of our
merchants and planters, and but for the
unexampled pressure that speculation and
bank corruption has brought upon our
country, already would our own seaport
towns have had importing and wholesale
houses on a scale commensurate with the
Importance and wealth of the country.
That the agricultural products Of the
south has furnished northern merchants
with their only means for making import
atoms. no one conversant with the course
Of trade will deny. That is their interest
and policy TO continue and perpe.uato this
system is obvious. The south although
almost ground into The dust by an oppres-
siye aud unjust tariff. by a system of bank
ing, unparalleled in the history Of the
world for villainy, dishonesty and fraud;
and partly TO, as all will admit, by specu-
lation and extravaganza, which naturally
and inevitably follow bank expansions
and bank prohigacy, will ultimately shake
off these shackles, and stand forth in all
its pride and chivalry Of feeling an inde-
pendant and disen,hralled community
The question Of direct trade with Europe
without the agency or intervention O.
northern merchants, was first agitatec
some three years since. The expediency
and advantages Of the measures has beer
fully discussed, and although some few
individuals representing northern capital
lists, or indirectly interested in the mo
nopolising schemes Of the kjobbins
importers Of the north, have ridiculed thu
project, and endeavored TO smother th
dawning ray Of commercial independence
and prosperity, the conviction has sprea'
farther and wider, that now is the time t
strike. We rejoice to learn that man,
southern capitalists are making arrange

Oar intelligence from the northern
counties, satisfies us that this gentleman
will receive the support of the democratic
party entire. The impression made by
him at Carrollton and Grenada was deci.
dedly favorable. A correspondent, writ
ing us from Grenada, says " You may
rely on it, the democratic party is stronger
in this and the adjoining counties, than it
has been for years. M'Nutt will receive
tremendous vote; in fact, the wings say
that they would rather support M'Nuit
than the milk and water Chancellor. -

the removals OF Pos,masters ,ha, had taken place
between the 4th OF March, 1887, and the 27,h Of
February last, as reported by the Postnasier Gen.
eral. We were particularly struck with the num-
Der Of remo.a ais, since the LIST Of January Of this
year, less than two months. We EXPRESSED tho
opinion then, that it is part oc Mr. Van Bvren's
system SO TO reform The pos, Office department all
over the country, 10 make il wholly subservient
to his purposes as grand electionecrng as well
as inquisi,orial machine.
Since that report was made TO the Senate, tho
work OF removal seems 10 have been going on at
an increased rate, appeats by the abstract
from the Journal Of the week" that have been
published in The Globe. In the one published in
that paper of Tuesday, it appears that. fourteen
post offices were established, and si,,y-fve poet
Minister'S appointed; and we presume, tina, the ex-
cess of appointments over the Offices established,
is TO replace removals. IL so, then there were
tffy-one removals. during that week.
AS we have no doub, that the proprietor. Of tho
Globe are paid for publishing these weekly reports
OF the proceedings Of the pos, Office department,
we would sugges, to the Postmaster General, to
give from the Journal Of the week tho names oil
