A Terrible Threat.

The Boston Bee which is ever on the alert for any
thing bv which it can commend itself the cotton To-
terest has received godsend recently, IN the shape o.
letter purporting to be written by Southern gentle
man. in which the aforesaid Southern gentleman threat
ems the North with imposition of tax, Of one hall
or whole cent additional per pound cotton
ed here and further imposition of tax Of ten per
cent upon all Northern merchandise offered for sale in
the Southern States, unless an immediate stop is put
TO the AntiSavery agitation. He says
GAS this Union is shaken almost to its very center
on Of the slavery agitation brought on by Moth
fanatics and Southern pro-slayery men. allow a
Southern man, Ia Mississpian one who has for twenty
years been an advocate for protective tariff for the
benefit of his Northern brethren, who has at all
times been in favor of cultivang brothery love and
friendship between all parts of this glorious Union to

quences growing out Of this agitation

State raising that article, to the amount of IL
cent per pound, and bonus given of the

pose tax Of something like 10 per cent on all mer-
the same amount for all merchandise sold of Southern
importation.
The object is to increase Southern manufactures and
Southern importers, and by these means increase the
This would be quite a tolerable bug-bear to work
upon the fears of the timid ones if the fact
too notorious the world over that every crop of cotton
raised in the South is aogaged Northern and Eu-
ropean Capitalists before the seed is put into the
ground.
AS to the tax of 10 per upon Northern merchan-
disc, would be well for the Missssppian to remem-
Der, that any measures the direct tendency of which is
to enhance the price of the necessaries of life to the
people of the slave Staes can only bring ruin more
speedily upon themselves These kind of threats are
only calculated to provoke a smile at the credudility
which can suppose them to be of any effect, and the
presumption of this Mssissippan, citizen of State
which for years has openly repudiaed the payment Of
even the interest its honest debts can only be COM
pared to that of the Irish paup who threatened the

was greater regularity in the furnishing of his raons

was not increase of intellect. The mind of every in

Inc Poem, by Rev. S. Dryden Phelps, of New Ha-

eloquent terms. The subject was FIDELITY. Some
OF the authors touches were peculiarly happy. In

home scenes of great beauty in which fidelity was the
GROWING charm, not The least attractive of which, we
row, to the young folks, was that in which after some
casual interviews. (vugary called counting the poet
