SOUTHERN RIGHTS.


II will bc ssen from the following paragraph cut from the
son Past that Southern Rights beginning TO be felt and
h, Massachusetts manufacturers likely 10 be left alone
il ,,e;r cory The business Of Massachusetts, ii now
are opposed abolition and the hobby Of the Ia
natics when Southern people exercise the poor rSht OF
making their purchases elsewhere. The Post thinks inc
Southern people should continue their patronage 10 noo
merchants for the purpose of sustaining them II e qtare
with their abolition neighbos This unquesonany good
doctrine for that meridan-excclen,. The quarrel has
hitherto been between the Northern and Southern States
1t has become local. And what made II sol fts,
the reasseron of the principles and authority oil the Con-
stitution Of the United States through tho medium OF the
Fugitive Slave Law And second the assertion of the right
of the Southern people withdraw their patronage and de-
pendencc from those same merchants end abo!tonists-
The South can have concern whatever In this quar-
rel When Southern Statesmen ioreold what must
come 10 pass did these merchants step forward TO
heal the breach and reconcile our troubles! BY no
means! They either mum altogether or conriout-
ing large portions of the profits oil the southern trade 10
(oment the mischief This warnings OF Southern statesmen
were viewed as the false cries Of the unfahfu shepherd
bow of wo when none had appeared They now Judge
Of the spt Of the Southern people, they have much yet to

into their former dependence Northern importers and man.
n,cturers The Post should observe that it not to
make Kilkenny caght oit and we continue our patron
ap. 10 the beeerans it will be all the whether they
continue the fight or make 1t Is very clear that the
aboonsts wish TO rob of slaves and the merchants
and manufacturers of the profits Of their labor We think
from the general spirit of people, that the well disposed
merchants and manufacturers of the North who look TO the
South as the field for operations would do better 10 come
and plant themselves among u.s. we shouo not lear the
fidelity of right minded Northern men, who would come gu,
from among tho aboons,s and begin their respective
branches of business with They could not fail Of sue
cess Nothing would eectualy quiet both North and
South than The production Of just equality OF dependence
and independence and of each other This would level
down all cause of sectional jealousy But Imagine that
no considerations again induce the Southern States
to throw away the rich bounes with which they blessed
10 foster those who are 80 hostile their institutions and
rights We are yet released it is true, but Inc work
goes brayey on.

sympathy for laborers and traders who would be

other States who agree with them in sustaining the
Union and misunderstanding sectional animoses, in

business relations in Boston, should stand by them the
closer and thus mutually strengthen each other in the par
