THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.

The hotter the DIV The better the Decd therefore In these
Christmas times about the Time that gave orn % our oess
ed Saviour who is dear christians by the sacrnce
bo made who ncucates earth by his beautiful pre-
cents let me advise my feowcountrymen that theIe
be peace between the North and the South Inc o anu
the south should understand their relative positions to each
other and if il was understood BY the North as snoud DC
although Northern myself these political iana!ics,
with their whims and vagares would oe aa sc
intellect the good sense and the firm unlonss OF our BE-
loved country would put them down. noD ana oresr or
country will be dismembered. .

that John Bull end oil the absoutsts OF Europe are closely
watching us and hope that dsmembement VIII take place.
Then now the time to arise in all our PRIDE ana love OF
country in some great uhTn Ie s IN vain;

The past session of Congress the most exciting In the
political history of country, and the excitement 10
equally great al present Already great nation So
cord 10 mons Are then stand -a rcproach to our
selves and the cause OF humanity -, -
The case il appears 10 my mind TINS: inc SCUM arc
moi dependent upon the commercial manufacturing ano me-
chanca classes OF the North. They have fully considered
the consequences of dissolution and tear more Inc osecc
of breaking up the model Republic than the bad result tha
would flow from their taking The stcp They know iu wen
that if il should happen the balance OF trade would be seve'
mi millions in their favor. Why, srs the agricultural pro-
naval stores tobacco cotton ana sugar Uone; aBaol ao
IS millions from the North /, ,
Az TO the imports the North are consumers OIL near IVY
thirds 60 unless they had Southern produce 10 aid them In
their payments how would they effect them, unless by re-
miltaces OF gold and silverl SO with Southern produce
and Southern Industry the North and South acting as one
trading people flourish and grow rich, butt without 'ae
South the North would annually grow poorer
Certainly Northern ship owners enjoy the monopoly Of
the coasnp trade But let civil war; with all It's horrors
once begp instantly Southern ports are opened 70 all ma
lions, and then Northern troubles begin.
Southern produce must be had Cotton particularly NUS
no had and this the North could not place duties on or
otherwise they could compete with England IN SCUM
ern markets. ,,, e., g., .
So in every way the North would sensibly feel It's pros
pery retarded and should lose position as
peope all through hms and ragdre OF lew deiudeo
fanatics and dsorgan!zers. .o,i
Let me say TO the North, that the South IS powerful
