In the meantime, trade suffers, and many of our
most prudent merchants are assailed by envious
yivals Abolitionist, and the trade which last
rear was done here is being done mostly IN
Southern cities. These things, however VIII cor
rect themselves and, in the end, will reeoli with
fearful force upon the authors of the SANDER.
The balance of trade must have been largely In
favor of the South, or they would not have drawn
so heavily on the North for specie as they dld
short time since, so as to brighten the Banks Tor
few DAYS into stringent measures.
All these influences operate against trade, and

ANTI-FUGITIvE SLAVE LAW MEETING IN LYNN
MAss.-Boston Sunday, March "A very large
Anti Fugitive Slave Law Meeting of the citizens
of Lynn, Mass, without respect of party, was
held in that city last evening. Mayor Hood pre-
sided and made speech, in which he said, che
considered the law unjust, inhuman and not fit to
be obeyed" He pledged himself never to lift
finger in the work of returning fellow man
to Slavery neither would he use his official pow
er to protect Slave -catchers.
A series of resolutions passed, one OF
which is as follows:
Resol0ed, That the citizens of Lynn, being free
themselves, will never assist in ensaving others.
A meeting in opposition to the law is to be hold
en- this evening in Beverly and another in Spring
field to morrow night.-!Savonnoh Georgian.

A correspondent of the New Y rk Herald says,
when Hon. Truman Smith returned to Washing
ton with his youthful, accomplished and handsome
Alabama wife, somebody asked him how many
slaves she had. 'Only one,'' said Truman, bow
ing low, and placing his hand upon his heart con
ly one who is proved to be her slave That was
very good. But on the night that platform gave
way at the circus, Mr.. Smith was present with his
young wife, and is said that when the crash came,
he for the door, leaving the lady to shift fol
herself. Another lady observing it, remarked
pointing at the honorable Senator from Connect
cut: 'Look, look there goes fugitive slave?

We give publicity to the following extract from
an aged and sound Democrat, residing in Ken
lucky to relative of his, residing in this State.
Let Southrons read it and pause:
i" The Southern Wing politicians have caused
nearly all this trouble. Their course for the last
twenty years has had tendency to break down
the honest Democracy of the North, and driving
those of easy virtue into the ranks of the Adolf
tonists. The Wings of the South opposed all
Democratic measures from the Presidency of John
Quincy Adams till now. They elected General
Harrison-they elected General Taylor, whose ad-
ministration would have brought on civil war, had
he lived six months longer.
The South has committed grievous errors, errors
both in politics and business; let her reflect and
profit by the past, which she can do.
The South ought not to send her sons or daugh-
tiers to be educated by Yankees in Yankee land.
| The South ought not to spend her thousands
upon thousands amongst the Yankees, as she does
every summer.
The South ought not to employ Yankee preach
ers, Yankee teachers, male or female.
l The South could easily make shoes for their
slaves and all the saddlery and harness for their
plantations.
The South must manufacture coarse fabrics fol
clothing but before they do SO, let them pur-
chase from Kentucky, Tennessee, or from Europe
Cut short your transactions with the Yankees-de
not employ their ships. Get up associations
pledged to carry out these principles, and if acted
up to in the right spirit, you will soon have the
Yankee bringing back your runaway negroes, and
upon Bonded knees, asking to be restored to thei
former favored position"
If something of this kind is not resorted to, ant
that speedily, the condition of the South will b,
worse than the Irish dependency-or slavish colo
NAL vassalage. The South has no longer an equal
4 ity in the Union, and our relative strength vii
sink with the speed of electricity, unless insis
upon our rights. The Union party have abondon
