(From ths Ne,O York.)
New York Merchants and the South
their relation to each other, and
their duty to the Union.

orr pape. on Tuesday last. Messrs. Hen |
~. Smith and Townsend, who are alluded |
TO- as merchants WHO support papers and
parties hostile 10 the South, feel agrieved |
at such illusions, and deCy i'll the most pos
tive manner tia, they have any sympathy
with or in any way approve OF the move
ments aud measures Of the political abo-
litionsts Of this State.
We cat scarcely take upa Southern pa
per in which there is not an appeal made
20 southern people 10 come out boldly and
pledgethemselves not to purchase anything
manufactured or imported by northern Peo-
pie The following from the Richmond
Republican is a pretty fair specemin OF the
manner in which these appeals are made,
aud from what we see and hear we have
no doubt but they are having an effect up
on the southern people 1t certainly does
seem 10 us that if any people were ever
Justified Ia adopting the non intercourse
remedy for all evil, the people of the
slave holding states are justified IN taking
the course threatened.
THE Thus REMEDY.-We would res
pectiuly suggest 10 our southern friends
whether Il would not be well 20 mark those
states in which the fugitive slave law is
successfully resisted, and resolve not TO
make purchases Of any kind from tho e
states There seems strong disposition in
portions of Massachusetts TO resis. the law.
Let the South observe the result, and if
this disposition is carried out so far as to
prevent Sontheru men by violence or fraud
from receiving their property, let the South
resolve never hereafter TO buy dollars
worth OF the productions OF Massachusetts.
1t appears that in he great mauutactur'h5
town vi Lowell Mass, large meeting has
becn held at which il was resolved 10 call
back three fugitive slaves who had lied
from that city TO Canada, with pledge
tIrat tiray should b, protected from arrest
by tn cit zaus of Lowell. Let sic south
then mark Lowell. Let assciattons o.
formed in the southern States, andtesoia-
tons passed not to purchase any article OF
any northern state or city in which the
law respecting fugitive slaves is success
full resisted.
The merchants Of this city treat these
threats Of the South with the most perfect
Indifference if not contempt. They seem
to look upou lhem as silly oulbursts o pas
sion; the mere roth aud foam Of bad I.
Jag, which will soon pass away as sum
mer cloud, leaving the atmosphere of trade
clearer and brighter. Instead oil looking
the dam ger 10 the face aud attempting tC
aver il, obey laugh at II. They SEE th'
wing party divided upon this abolition ques
ton, and a large majority Of the country
politicians, as well as many in the city
pursuing a deadly hostile cou 81 toward thu
South yet they care not. they do no
even encourage by their cQuutenance, tn
efforts of the lew who are strenuously re
sisting this tide of hostility to southern
institutions. The N. Y. Tribune, rabbi
abolition paper, is taken and supported b
a large number of wholesale merchants
who trade almost exclusively with tn
South; and the same may be said of tn
Courier aud Enquirer. Messrs. Bowe
and McNamce, who have become wealth
. by trading with the southern merchant
employ the largest number OF clerks, an
boast Of doing the largest jobbiug bushes
done in the city; who have built Que Of IN
most magnificent stores, two splendid couI
try seats-al from the profits OF slave labt
are both thorough going abolItionists-
support abolition ministers and have estal
lished an abolition paper. We say notlln
against them; they are both worthy and re
pectabls men ir the eommunity;-but sue
are their principles, aud they do not pr
tend to deny or even conceal them. W
only speak Of the fact of their being alb
litionisJ and supporting nat cause. A.

rich in the same way, support the SAL
cause and feedrby lheir slave labor prot
the same ministers, churches aud newsI
ners. Messrs Henry, Smith aud Tow
sand take the Tribune and Courier and /
Cuirery and advertise in them-paylng thu
81 slave labor profits. They never gave
