MEssRs HAZE & MURDocK Our read
ers will find below an account of the action
Of damages brought by these gentlemen
for the purpose of disconraging that scam
dalous system of espionage which has been
Instituted against southern merchants.-
The character of the above named gentle
men for enterprise and integrity IN all their
business transactions, is amply sufficient to
shield them individually. against the effects
OF sucn mercenary libels as those alluded
to, while their disinterested efforts to arrest
the evil of such a corrupt inquisition by
vigorous prosecution, entities them to the
thanks of the community whose interests
they represent.
ss Not long ago we alluded to one of
those secret mercantile cabalss which exist
in the eastern cities for the purpose Of spy
ing into the affairs of southern merchants.
The origin ofsthems we believe, is due to
Arthur Tappan and men of like kidney.-
