+" The Unioa--it must be PRESCRIBED The
Boston Post places this motto at the head of
ITS columns. It is well timed. The late fed
erai convention in Massachusetts was rank
with reasonable doctrines-the sentiments
most loudly applauded were those in favor of
the dissolution Of the Union. The federal
presses are every where seeking to rouse
up sectional passions-to create sectional
divisions which may result in rupture OF
the Union. Even the infamous Giddings,
who has declared that in his opinion the
Union no longer exists, is Zealously supported
by them in Ohio We hope that the demo-
cratic conventions will with one voice rebuke
this foul spirit-whether it comes from North
or South. Let it be our duty to stand by the
Union, and to inculcate in the words of our
Jackson that ''he constitution and taus are
supreme and THE UNION INDIssoLUBLE.''

Commercial-T feeling in the manufac-
turing districts lately has been one of despon-
dency. Under more favorable circumstances
the cotton market would have been greatly
excited by the accounts which have come to
hand for weeks, nay, for months past; but the
state of affairs at home from the Potato crop,
and the causes sprlnging out Of it, with which
our readers are acquainted, has been painfully
reflected In the condition of our Eastern mar
kets to which the amount of exports has far
exceeded the demand. An effort is being made
we directed attention to it some time ago
by means of an association, based on the prin-
ciple of the Anti -Corn-laW League, to compel
the Government to reduce the duty Oh Tea,
in order to facilitate the transhipment of pro-
duce to the East, and the effort, no doubt, will
be Acceptable Fortunately, no " vested rights
stand in the way. 1t is purely and simply
matter of taXation-an affair of the revenue
and when that point is satisfactorily settled,
the duty will be reduced
| The Wool, like most other markets, is dull
| The demand at present is limited to the lower
kinds of foreign Wool, adapted for blankets
and rough winter habiIiments In these de-
scriptlons higher prices have been realized.-
The other kinds remain as previously, mac
! tive
The accounts which come to hand by the
Caledonia are favorable in a commercial pc Mt
of view, for they bring numerous orders, con-
tngent on the opening Of the American ports
under the new Tariff This circumstance has
already influence freights, which, anti the
! last two or three days, were in state of al
most comparative stagnation. A permanent
| Improvement is already indicated in the in
creased rate which the trade demand. A ref
erence to the proper head will show the cur
rent as compared with previous prices.
The deliveries of sugar this year show a
slight increase over the deliveries at the cor
responding period last year. It appears that
265 500 cwt of slave-grCwn sugar have been
liberated under the bill of last session. A con-
siderable business has been doing in some ar
ticIes Of produce; of which reference to the
reports in our last page will put the rea Ter in
possession at a glance The market has not
been affected by the accounts of the great
storm at Havannah, owing to the encouraging
statements respecting the prospect of the su-
gar crop in Brazil,
The cotton market is quiet; the speculative
demand has ceased, and parties are looking to
the effects which the alleged deficiency in the
new crop may have on prices The a'v?cas
by the Caledonia were certainly not les favor
able tlan those by previous arrivals.
The corn markets are stationary. A large
export rale is still going on, and 5000 quar-
ters of Lincolnshire were bought few days
AFRO at sos, for shipment to France. The
present Is duty is found to be prohibitory,
and as fast as corn and flour arrives, it will, 1t
is said, be exported.
The money market is easy. A diminution
of bullion continues, but to smaller extent
than previously From some unexplained
cause, about this period of the year the stock
of bullion in the Bank annually decreases -
The rate of interest is higher than for some
time past The Bank of England being three
per cent, private bankers are enabled to OBJ
tain higher scale.
