be left alone in their glory. The business
men OF Massachusetts, Il nor appears, are
opposed TO abolition, and the hobby Of the
fanatics. when the Southern people exercise
the poor right Of making their purchases
elsewhere. The Post thinks the Southern
people should continue their patronage to
Boston merchants for the purpose of sus.
tanning them in the quarrel with their abo.
liLion ncighbors This is unquestioraby
good doctrine for that meridian--eXcclent ,
The quarrel has hitherto been between the
Northern and Southern States. 1t has now
become local. And what made it so -
First-The re-assertion of the principles ard
authority of the Constitution of the United
States through the medium OF the fugitive
slave law And second--The assertion of
the right of the Southern people to with
draw their patronage aud dependence from
those same merchants and aGoIltIonists,-
| The South can have no concern whatever
| IN this quarrel When Southern statesmen
| toretold what must come to pass, did these
merchants step forward TO heel the breach
aud reconcile our troubles BY no means .
They were either mum altogether, or con
tributiug large portions of the profits, Of the
Southern trade TO foment the mischief.
J The warnings of the Southern statesmen
| were viewed as the false cries OF the un-
faithful shepherd boy, Of wolf wheu none
had appeared. They can now Judge OF
the sprit of the Southern people; they
have much yet to feel. The people of this
country will never again be gulIed into
their former dependence on Northern in-
porters and manufacturers. The Post should
observe that it matters not to the South
ern States, if the merchants and abolition
lists make Kilkenny cat-hght OF it; and
If we continue our patronage 10 the billie
gcrants, it will be all the same whether
they continue the fight or make terms. 1t
is very clear that the abolltlonsts wish to
rob us of our slaves, and the merchants
and manufacturers of the profits of their
labor. We think, rom the general spirit
of our people, that the well disposed mer-
chants and manufacturers OF the North,
who look to the South as the field for oper-
ations would do better to come and pant
themselves among us. We should not
fear the fidelity of right-minded Northern
men, who would come out from among
the abolitlonists and begin their respective
branches of business with us. They could
not fail of success. Nothing would more
etIectualy quiet both North and South
than the production of a just equality o
dependence independence on aud over each
other This would level down all cause
of sectional jealousy. But we imagine
that no considerations can ever again in,
duce the Southern States to throw away
the rich bounties with which they are
blessed, to foster those who are so hostile
to their Institutions and rights. We are
not yet released, it is true, but the work
goes braveIy on.-Enquirer.

Boston Post -

New York on Friday, by Haggerty, Draper

business of New York, while the New YorL
press and merchants are doing all they car
to deter Southern traders from coming tC
Boston, by harping upon and exaggeratine
