such state Of things! 1t is then, for the whole North
10 look this question the face, and decide whether il

Let the North them their face steel against all the
Vaccinations OF Douglass, Thompson, and Smith As for
Thompson, he is pensoned paid agent of Scotch female
association which has undertaken to abolish slavery in
this country At all hazards He is impairment, shame

contempt should be pointed at him from all sides Smith

Douglass is utterly insignificant Neither is worthy OF
any serious consideration.
Under such circumstances, appeal the good sense
Of the North Do they wish TO leopard the permanency
Of this Union by lending aid TO foreign emssares who

should indulge the suicidal policy OF Indifference to the
Union We confident that all they want is gh, and
intelligence, in regard their own interests in these

Union.
III the Union were to be dissolved, we should be at
without, chart compass Every State would be perfect.
ly independent, as under The old confederation. Each
would be competent to establish its revenue laws,
and to form treaties OF commerce and navigation. Such
treaties would be formed in accordance with such advap-
taxes as each State could from foreign nations Ma
yland Virginia South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana and
Texas would seek treat with England, France, and
Germany on OF perfect reciprocity for the free in
sre and esess OF ships and products The consequence
would be- that European powers would supply them
with all the fabrics in common use brought by
foreign vessels TO the exclusion OF northern ships and
northern manufactures, and in exchange for the great
staples OF cotton, sugar. and tobacco Ohio, Pennsyva-
MIA, and New York and the western States would make
similar treaties in regard TO grain pork, hemp, and other
staple commodities AT las, Massachusetts. and New
England generally, would be driven to the resort,
in self.defence. until all commercial Europe would be in
immediate competition with the shipowners, the farmers,
the Manufacturers the mechanics, and artisans Of the
North, in supplying our people in
ports Thus would the North be the great sufferer in the
general race OF competition.
