but it is a gross outrage upon the feelings
Of very large body of American citizens
and fragrant breach of hospitality to the
representatives, Of Southern Art and In
dustry, whowerc present, at the invitation
Of Prince Albert.
We cannot allow such an opportunity to

the President ofthc State Central Society
(Which has called Convention TO meet in
Richmond this Fall) is abroad for the pur-
pose ofpurchasing goods from these very
people, to be sold to and used BY South
ern citizens, who are advised to have no
dealings with the North and we well

prevailing and predominant feeling
They wont deal with the Yankees, where
our fugitive slaves can be pursued and
