The Lynchburg Republican puts forth the following ar
DIRECT TRADE WITH EURoPE-The corporate
authorities and Merchants of Charleston s. c. making
arrangements bring large share OF the European trade
direct TO that port instead OF getting II n heretofore second
hand New York and other Northern cities. They
have committee TO England TO 10 her merchants
that f they will ship their products direct TO Charleston
they will there find purchasers for them, and in addition 10
that be furnished with full carsocs of southern cotton and
other products for their return voyage This will hit the
compromise breaking and violating Northerners

Northern manufactures and secondly in employing British
In preference Northern vessels transport their carsoe
Every proposition OF this kind will Of course be gladly ac
copied Europe and all the energies of ship the
other side of the Atlantic will be exercd obtain the
poaton 10 and from their ports and the port OF Charleston
line of Steamers between that city and Liverpool is
peccd to speedily follow this movement
The Baltimore Argus after stating these facts speaks
follows Of the duty Of Baltimore in the premises:
"Whilst this is going in Charleston, what ought Balt
10 be about! Every will of say, must
keep ahead of Charleston as But how is this
TO be done? The first step for people repudae the
Northern sympahics which of journals SO long
manifested the second s TO invite line of British
steamers and packets wharves and take tho
sary steps TO induce the British manufacturers establish
agencies In our city Tor the sales Of their fabrics II looks
rect imporations; our aiu thc should 10 obtain full d.
rect supply In this way If must 60 to Europe
toaccompsh this let the be adopted to despach
them and to doiray their expenses"
Now, VIC would ask while those things going on in
Charleston and Baltimore what ought Richmond and Nor
folk 10 be about? Why cannot those cities have direct
trade with Europe also? They do it, if they will jus,
their attention to the matter and determine that it sha
be DONE Norfolk and Richmond might open direct
with England that won make them in few years Of the
first commercial marls in the South if not in the Union and
the time render the South generally independent Of
the North We that those cities will much longer
remain indifferent tc this matter.
The Portsmouth Pilot cordially endorses the communica
ton Of its correspondent urging he great Importance and
necessity OF establishing association for the purpose Of
disseminating trading relations with those OF the North who
would unscrupulousy violate and disregard the
principles Of justice and who have enrolled their names
among those who urge the 'hgher-lau principle"
These sound and practical views it congratulacs ITSELF
with responses and in proof i, cites the
ments of "A Shipping Merchant in the Charleston News
who FIRST commcnds the determination Of the planters
