Some politicians belong o their own town,
some to their own county, some TO their
STATE, and some to the Union. Honest John
Davis of Massachusetts is one Of those great
men who know no other sphere Of action than
the Union. He is Northern man, but If
there is not liberal Southern sentiment in
the letter from which the following extract is
taken then we are mistaken. And is 1t not
time that Mississippi-enterprising Missis-
sippi, sho2ld cease to sit still, and with COM
posure hear such lessons as the following
from the ''rascally Norih''? How long viii
we receive such hints as this from Massachu-
sets before We will begin to look to our own
interest? How long will We continue to pay
toKentueky and the North double or treble
the price for bagging and negro cloth that
we can manufacture the articles for our
selves
The above Introductory comments are, as
will readily Be- perceived, from the pen Of
an highly esteemed correspondent Of the va.
zoo City Whigs-one who has devoted his
abilities and time more 70 The interests Of chs
South, than has any other man within oui
circumscribed knowledge What he assert
may be received as carnations Of honest.
and sincerity. So much for the comments
and nov for the extract, which Is but amin
cidental paragraph of letter of the distin
guishsd statesman whose name it bears, for
ming Part Of late correspondence between
him and our felIow-cilizen, r. Abbey:
''I am graiifed to learn that your peopl
are engaged in the manufacture of bagging

Compared with the vast limits of eternity,
it dwindles into viewless point. When,
therefore, we reflect, as our faith teaches
US, that according to our fruits here shall

during the fleeing period Of mortal exis-
tence, SO shall we enjoy or suffer through
out countless ages of time to come--it
would seem impossible for rich man TO

ly, that it is lar more difficult for the rich
man to be virtuous than the poor. So al.
SO as respects the powerful and powerless.
But how great must be the reward of the
potentate, chief magistrate or millionaire,
who, like the AntoEines of old, adopt the
system which teaches " a submission Of
the body to the mind, and the passions to
the reason--who are severe to themselves,
indulgent to the imperlections Of others,
just and beneicent to all mankind"
