Now th, may be all true-and never did doubt that'
on the whole the trade Of New York city was rapidly I'M
proving every day. The point which We discussed however,
was that consequence Of the factous IN e

at auction in New York; and pouring her surplus OF
goods into New York the merchants OF the latter city also
seemed alarmed BY the marked loss Of Southern business
within the last few months The Courier is not the only New
York PAPER which vouChes the fact huye before the ~
York Morning STAR whose leader presents the following
sound sentiments:

gestiuns worthy Of serious consideration:
CRISIS AT HAND.-Our remarks in the Importer OF
Saturday last he danger likely grow OF rea-
lions with Suut. Carolina In the attitude she has assumed
have been much approved by readers that think
may suggest citing conclusion them,
one method by hc the integrity The Union nly DC pre-
served and which "c have no where yet brought
forward
Our readers i'll remember that our argument WINS to this
effect, that II South Csrona seeded peacefully j..
would be destructive the moral power of the Union and
the commerce of those States which yet cluy together un
der the existing Constitution and laws; since with low du-
ties and active with other countries she might
ruin for time the business Of the other States.
Who would import goods into New York, where 80 and 40
per charged duties when they could land them
at Charleston at cent and snugsc them thence into
all the other Statss7
On the other hand South Carolina reduced by force
and kept by force in the Unon league would be
force and our Union only an iron and Il bloody band
Those shursghted persons therefore, who say, "it I,
will whip her soundy very far from understanding the
real dunger of the No victory over our brethren In
South Carolina could be other than the bl;odest pie
ture in "our b ok Of time"
We nav. therefore this conclusion, that tho
chants OF this city should assemble together. az early
convenient and choose from their body strong committee
composed of able and patriotic en disconnected
much possible with all present political movements,
whose business should be TO proceed 10 Charleston forth
