NoRrHERy GAscoNAnE VERSUS Southern
DoLLARs-It seems passing strange that our
Northern contemporaries are so oblivious that
the very State, which they,so profusely abuse,
is for her size one of the best customers the
Northern cities can boast of.
At this very moment large number of our
citizens are absent in Northern cities investing
South Carolina money in the purchase of their
fall goods. Yet the representatives OF the press
in those Cities where the bulk of our cash is ex-
pended, are the foremost in sneering and jeer-
ing atsus Here is a specimen of the estima-
ton South Carolina is held in by the Phladel-
phia Epening Bulletin, the organ of the mer-
camille interests in that city:
WaR.-South Carolina will, it is supposed,
declare war against the United States, immedi-
ately after the dissolution of the Union, which
is to take place six weeks after the e.assem.
bling Of the Nashville Convention, which will
be in six weeks after the adjournment of Con-
gress, which will be after the admission OF Cali.
fornia, the settlement of the Texas boundary,
and the passage ofinnumerable acts, now i'm
peratively demanded. All Northerners dispos.
ed to volunteer, are advised to get their villain
uus salt.petre compounds, their guns, pistols
and swords ready to meet the invading army.
under General Rhett The naval forceof South:
Carolina, consisting of q feet of oyster boats
and scows, commanded by the admiral of the
Charleston Mercury, is expected to, sail from
Beaufort Harbor, under convoy of the great
Sea Serpent. t. expected that it will take
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York as soon as news arrives that the invading
army of Texas has conquered the territory of
New Mexico, if NOT sooner
This is highly complimentary. But doubt
less the merchants of Philadelphia would not
thank their organ, were Z" the Admiral of the
Charleston Mercury" to set an embargo on all
Northern paper, and also enjoin his readers to
divert their custom for the future from Phila-
delphia-
In sober earnestness, the only mode to bring
these Northerners to their senses is to abstain
from dealing with them altogether. A little en-
.terprise only is wanting for South Carolina to
manufacture for herself all that is requisite for
home consumption. We have money-we have
every iacility-all that is wanting is energy
Letnsouly try the experiment. and Northern
gasconade will as quickly evaporate, as the dol
lars from their pouches.

WAsHrSeroy, Aug. 8, ls50.-Pripi1ege Of
the House of Representatires.-This morning,
a stout, dark:reddish looking man, having black
kinky hair, with aboy about eight years of age
at bis side, of similar complexion, but whose
hair was more inclined to curl, attracted much
attention. There was general inquiry as to
who the parsonage was, and it was soon whis--5
pered that he was from Hayti, in the character
of diplomatist, probably; and again, that he
was West Indian, on tour of pleasure. The
doorkeeperand one of his assistants are requir-
ed, BY the rules, to admit none to the Hall but
those who are privileged, and seeing him, it was
their. duty to inquire by whom he was introdu-
ced. We happened to be near, and heard him
respond TO an inquiry that he was in the ball
by the courtesy Of gentleman from Ohio. 1t
is certain that he was not the representative of
i foreign court, for he was invited to depart
He politely did so, and in plain good English
said he would not remain if his presence was
disagreeable. Taking his boy by the hand, he
made a low bow in passing Mr.. Giddings, and
in few minutes was among the outside bar
barians. Whether the color of his skin was
Objectionable, or his complexion excited sus.
picion as to caste or race, he being brought in
by MI. Giddings, we are unable to say. Ger
tain it is like the unclean spirit, he was cast out

Now, this seems 10 us very hard, that an old
lady, ninety years of age, should be treated in a
manner 20 outrageous and so dishonest. Yet we
cannot be surprised. This simple history is one of
many like il We have never found that any OF
these associations act except upon the most arbi-
Iary rules. They take your money, and you sink
your individual property and identity in the congo-
merated accumulation of responsibility and inse-
curity-the money. hpndlng officers, free from all
bondsmen, holding all the snews of your hope and
Path in their hands.
Such being the common history of these associa-
tions-the chief head of the labor movement in
England having exhibited a "tasse of his quahty''
and il is not the first specimen-several runaway
officers of English labor associations being busily
at work in this country, agatng, talking, abusing
society, and undertaking. institutions, we think
that laboring men should make their first great
question that of security against the rapacious
hands of those who SO warmly profess to be their
friends. Let them look out for their money, first
and foremostsee that it is secured TO their assoc
ations, and that it cannot be carried away. This
done, they may then meet for the common i'm
ptovement of their several trades, and make such
regulations will best subserve their interests in
society There rs no danger of the intelligent ope-
natives of this country remaining in error for any
very long period All they. have TO fear are the
idlers who are promoted to offices of trust Let
them associate only with real laborcrs, and beware
of professors and politicians.
