Direct Trade.

To the Editor Of the Courier.
SIR have read your remarks OF
the 4th inst. in reply to the Grand Gulf
advertiser and had previously seen
those oi the latter print. Whether

candour than yourself, or what ever
else may be the cause, | cannot excuse
the Advertiser upon the score of ..bur-

the pubic upon this very important sinh
Ject-the direct trade OF Mississippi. If
the editor of the Advertiser is as caod;d
as am, he Is the most ignorant or the
most hurried man that has ever written
upon this subject Ia the State.

We call the attention of our readers
particularly to the subjoined article which
we cut from the Natchez Courier and
Journal. We are the uncompromising
advocates of direct trade in its true
sense. But we are not in favor of pur-
chasing from European manufacturer rs
those articles which are offered to us
as cheap by the Northern manufacturers.
This would be declaring war upon the
North In good earnest. Let us continue
to purchase American fabrics as hereto
fore from FIRST hands, and ship them di-
rectly to our own ports; and as soon as
possible, purchase European fabrics from
first hands in Europe, and ship them di-
rectly to our own ports. To aim at
more than this would be ridiculous in the
extreme, and must end in a disastrous
failure of Southern CONNER rec, and ruin
to our country by exciting hostile feel
Ings between the Nor-h and South.
Our readers will discover that we nor
carry on direct trade to the extent of
three iourths Of the merchandise con-
sumed by US.
