Northern but Southern patronage;----
Northern manufactures are supported by
the monopoly of the Southern market.
while Southern industry receives but q
scanty support at home, and none from
abroad. Almost all the articles of COM
fort or luxury found in our houses, from
the humble and unpretending furniture of
the kitchen TO the rare and eleg.nt orna-
mcnt of the drawing-room und boudoir,

been left undeveloped, our own industry
unrewarded, and our enterprises allowed
to perish for want of patronage. or to

ledge and sapping the very foundation
of society; while the southern press is
too often neglected.

We noticed, some time since, a very
sensible article in the Caroiinian, dcpre-
eating the practice which has for great
while obtained among large portion Of
our wealthy citizens. of wasting their
summers and what is worse large sums
of money annually at the North. Wives
