| Novel as the proposition may seem TO portion
Of our readers. the fanatcism Of misguided phi
lanthropy may find sufficient motive Tor self
restraint in the fact that il is to the coion crops
Of The South, and the kind Of idbor employed in
their production, that our country is indebted for
the maintenance of peace with the only country
from which we have any thing to dread on the
score of power,
How beautifully illustrative are the facts
here mentioned, of the necessity of cherishing
a purely national feeling, Invested of all Sec
tlonal prejudlces, among our countrymen, and
how clearly do they prove that the interests Of
one or other section Of this mighty Union are
the interests Of the whole. II is vain, as il is
wicked, on the part Of interested individuals TO
draw lines of distinction between the North
and the South, the East and the West, and en-
deavor TO array them against each other Our
political and social institutions form system as
beautiful and perfect as il is extensive, and TO
the cooperation of each of its parts with the
others, we are TO look for the attainment of the
noble results to which our forefathers looked in
arranging the machinery Of our Government
If there be any want of adaptation or jarring in
the movements Of this vast machine, no matter
in what quarter it may occur, they are alike de-
structive to the harmonious movement for which
it was intended We call, then, upon the people
of every section of the Union to disembarrass
themselves Of all unworthy and selfish motive,
and unite as band Of brothers in sustaining
those who would administer our institutions in
spirit Of thorough nationality and disinterest-
ed patriotism Let every feeling save that Of
Amercahism be regarded as of secondary inn
portance, and let the warnings of parties be for
gotten amid the general zeal 10 serre The coan-

THE HUMBUGGER AGAIN.

Fridays Globe contains another g paper mo
ney party" article. Some of the heavings go be-
vond the usual style of the editor. 1t must be
the Great Missouri bull again, though the bel
lowing is not quite as harsh as it was before
The growl is somewhat suppressed, and deep.
The humbuSger persists in arraying himself
against the Adninstratlon-call the Admins
traton party the ''paper money party" and runs
pe nell at the Government, with head down and
horns spread out. He says the Government Is
dishonored and disgraced-but he does nol la
ment moment at that-no indeed for he was
the very first to dishonor 1t, by having the DRAFT
for his per diem protested and as for the dis
grace, it is but too papable while such an I'M
clean animal is suffered TO stalk into the Senate
Chamber.
The humbugge, is never in ecstacles but
when the country suffers. When the country
is wounded he exults. He can then promise the
people to heal the wound if they will surrender
the patient TO his care. He very valnly sup
poses that the people do not know that he gored
the body polite himself in the dnrk! No! he
will never be the physician. But if he still per.
ssts in arrayng himself against the Admins
traton calling it the "paper money party" ane
challenging it to the field, why he will even be
taken at his word. The Administration party
will take him by the horns and lash him to dealt
with his own tales.

OUR COMMERCE..

The following letter is from most respecta-
Bile and creditable source. The statements which
it contains, as our readers will see, are of great
public importance at the present moment:
DEAR Sir Believing that any information relating
to the commerce Of our country will be acceptable
to you, the undersigned, mercantile firm of this
city, interested in vessels that are employed in the
freighng business, respectfully beg leave to ask your
attention to the enclosed price current, containing
list of vessels at the port of Savannah the 25th
utimo, by reference to which you will observe that
the aggregate Of tonnage there registered and enroll
ed was, at that time, 1889 tons

deration OF private bills was taken up by con

ludes OF debate, the House continued TO be en-

The amount Of English tonnage at other Southern
ports is also unusually large and has been for some
time constantly increasing 1t is the opinion Of many
judicous persons, acquainted with the subject that
nearly if quite one-half of the cotton crop of the
United States will be exported in British and other
foreign vessels.
We have taken the liberty, sir, of inviting your at
tenton to this subject because we deem it Of great
Importance to our commercial interests, as the pre-
sent state of things is, in Judgment, the principal
obstacle to the success Of American freghting
scls the business Of which, at the present time, is
laborng under very great depression, arising, as we
think, in great degree from the large number of
foreign vessels that allowed to compete on equal
terms with our own.
