The SOUTH CAROLINA MADNEss.-The CO.
lumbia South Carolinian thus discourses
There is not paper in NewOreans, with the
exception Of the Delta, that is true the South at
this juncture. And why? In reply to charge Of
this kind, of them says the charge is susceptl
BILE of easy proof as its advertising columns show
for without the subsidies of the Northern men in
this respect it reckons there would be precious few
papers either to support inure the South in that
city. Such avowal is degrading in the extreme,
and shows how utterly regardless Of any thing save
dollars these journalists are.
This quotation admits that Northern men alone
support the papers of NewOrleans For without
them, there would be but few papers of any kind in
population of 10000 But the editor is not
content with giving the North the entire credit of
supporting the papers of NewOreans, but it lashes
that Quixote Of Modification and Ultraism, j. D.
B. DeBow Who would ever have supposed he
would fall so low, as to need the aid of the
Crescent to protect him from the assaults of his
worshipped South Carolina
Another instance in the same quarter. DeBow's
Commercial Review has caught this Union loving
injection; and, as observed in a brief notice Of
the publication few days since, in all the sem
blance of wisdom, and with all the air of a Solon
its editor pronounces the effort of the South to Sc
cure her rights failures. OF the Nashville Conven-
ton he says:
flew men have met but to call that South
ern Convention, or to say that the South had any
active participation in it - preposterous The adj
dress and the Convention alike failures"
In the same issue of this Review comes pros
pectus and circular. In his appeal the editor says:
| AT period like this, it becomes every citizen
| of the Southern and Western States to encourage
| and support work devoted so widely to the de-
| velopment of resources and progress, and to
| remove the notifying dependence upon other sec
tons of the Union for the knowledge we get of our
| own operations and movements"
| We doubt very much the Propriety of fostering a
work, which, however acceptable in other respects,
strikes IN harmony with the Northern aggression
lists. Tie " notifying dependence other sec
tons" mentioned by the editor, will never be re-
moved by such articles as that which ushers in the
present enlarged number of the Review.
We consider it our duty to notice such aberra-
tons in Southern Journalist; and, having noticed
them leave the corrective in the hands of the people,
Our esteemed friend of the Commercial Review,
though partially insane the subject of Southern
ism, has lucid intervals he is fond of the society
of the editors OF the Crescent, 1--WE mention this
proof of his saniy) associates intimately with the
practical business men of the South West, and has
become convinced in spite of his prejudices, that
the Nashville Convention did not speak the voice
of this prosperous region Of the South We know
that many of his best friends here regret his intern
perate opinions on the subject OF Southern coned-
eracies and we fear he may yet feel it in his next
years subscription.
At the same time South Carolina threatens to
cut off all supplies, and leave her talented to
promulgate his Northern errors as he can
| We have never seen meaner or more contempt
IDLE specimen of sectional bgotry than this denun-
citation of Mr. DeBow and his Review.
The editor Of the South Carolinian ought to have
been grand inquisitor, and roasted all who dared
to differ from his standard. Freedom of opinion
consists in thinking he does What capital
Sir Antony Absolute he would make
