Bowen d McNamee are making fortune rap
idly in the sale of goods. Western merchants
who arrive in New York, inquire for their store
They wish to trade with men who sell their
goods and not their principles. Their card has
been copied into the Western papers, and their
names have become iavorably known to thou
sands who before were ignorant Of their exis-
tence.- RoS on Alias.
The attempt of Bennett, lIallock and Brooks
to prescribe Mcssrs. Bowen e. McNAMEE, is
likely to prove dead failure. A man may now
hold an opinion prcudcal 10 Slavery without

malice, have exhibited no more than common
courage but they did 60 at g time and under
circumstances which render their conduct al.
most heroic. A cowardy panic prevailed
among the New York merchants. Each man
tried to outbid his neighbor in his subserviency
to the South; and those who, in the general
rush TO bow the knee to Baal refused to do any
such thing, deserve TO be remembered by all
who can appreciate true moral courage Az

Messys. Bowen & McNAMrE can exchange
their Southern for Northern customers, we have
an idea that what they may lose in chvalry "
they will make up in cash-and that is what
they, like sensible men, prefer. We are glad
to read OF one firm of" New York Merchants
with whom God stands higher than Mammon,-
and very cheerfully commend Messrs. BowEs
& MCNAMEE to the conf lence and respect of
our Merchant readers. The o6eaSe for which
these gentlemen are prescribed by the Phari
sees OF the journal IF Commerce and the Bar
rabas crew Of the Uerald, is that they refused
to fall down and worship the " Golden Calf" Of
" Southern Rights" otherwise known as the
Fugitive Slave Law-or, in other words, that
they would net, as the Tribune intimates, ad-
vertise their principles with their goods, " per

o,,.rr,asd.,, the 9Th was one Of the largest as

motion the Hon. A. F. Hopkins was appointed
p,ss;dent q f. Holt and Gen. Thomas w. Nc
Gov were appointed Vice Presidents, and John
Scott and S. w. Allen, Secretaries. A committee
MAS ,n,ointed who reported series Of resolutions
,rnrovinp of the legislation of Congress on the
Slave question, and the kindred measures. They
repudiate the Nashville Convention and the right
of secession. They are ably drawn, and embody in
a brief space the entire argument for the Union.
The meeting was addressed by c. N. Stewart, ].
Y Blocker, G. C. Langdon and John Rolston.
The resolutions were unanimously adopte |. Among
the many letters read was one from Gen. Downs OF
this State, which we shall publish on Monday,
together with the resolutions. The uItras had
kept up so much noise and confusion in Mobile,
that really began to think the city belonged to
them. This meeting, however, shows that there
is party respectable in numbers and character, to
contend for the prize. Mobile is now doing Won
ders her efforts to construct railroad to the Ohio
are in direct contradiction to the secession, even
non-intercourse doctrine
A purely agricultural State, with worn-ou
soil and decaying properties, may hedge itself In

Mobile requires freedom of trade and accessible
| communications with the fertile West. Some
crack-brained lawyers, who believe in the Gaines
| suit many preach secession and non-intercourse
but the iron argument, binding the Ohio and Mo
bile Bay, will crush all these flimsy crotchets
Mobile is to be kept in the Union by chain of he

aware Of the translation by Margaret Fuller
which is the fourth volume of the Library o
Foreign Literature, edited by Rev. George Ripley
and published some ten years ago in Boston. By
turning to that, he will find the translation in style
equal to that which appears in his columns We
are glad Of this opportunity to commend the series

Works Of Edgar A. POe."-We have re-
ceived the third volume of Poe's writings, editeC
by Rufus w. Griswold. Its six hundred pages
are devoted almost entirely to a critical considera
ton of the writings of American "Literati," OF
such of them as have gained any nOtoriety in the
world. Cotton, Willis, Halleck, Epes Sargent,
Lewis Gaylord Clark, Bryant Hendley, Morris,
Cooper, W. G. Sims, Longfellow, Hoffman, Girls

and less distinction, are among the names men.
toned.
No American, of the light literature school, ever
possessed such remarkable, critical accumen as
Edgar A. Poe. Much of his reputation, while liv-
ing, was due to this faculty of his mind. The
book before shows with what justice the reputa.
ton belonged to him. We can say of it, and do
without hesitation that it is one of the most read
able books at any time issued by the American
press. No person, at all interested in our national
literature, should be without it, and the whole
series oil Poes works.
Poor Poe We never think of him--of hi,
glowing fancy, cultivated taste, generous heart o
his poverty, his pecuniary distress and untime
death-but that we feel deeply impressed by
sense of the injustice, and even contumely wit
which the world often, too often, treats indivdus

gone to early grave; but the day will bet ha
now almost come--when he will be placed among
the first, il at the head of the American literal
