Cotton ZenI for the Union.

II is doubtless within the memory OF many cltl-
zens beside the members of the Union Safety
Committee that the Union was once saved
also considerable trade-by the manufacture of
large quantity of "public sentiment at Castle
Garden. 1t will also be remembered that certain
merchants and others here refused to cooperate IN
this particular mode of saving the Republic, and
that they were loudly denounced as enemies to
good order and the welfare of the country. Our
Southern exchanges, for some weeks past, nave
teemed with cautions to their merchants against
"pstronising certain respectable business houses
in this CITY, whom they denounce as " Abolition
sts," many of them publishing lists OF the houses
which have been placed under the ban, as enc
mics of the Peculiar Institutions OF the South
We are informed also that large editions OF pa
per published in this City, (but too vile for gene
raj circulation here,) containing these lists, accom-
panied by comments worthy of their source have
been purchased by certain Cotton Merchants ana
scattered broadcast throughout the South, with
the view OF diverting trade from the prescribed
houses TO those Of the Cotton gentlemen aforesaid
Now, it appears quite plain to us, that 1t Is dc
sirable to Southern merchants to understand the
opinions of those with whom they trade on the
subject of the theory and practice OF government
the same kind of information may not be entirely
upinteresting TO the mercantile community IN
other portions of the Republic. II, before our
merchants can sell piece of calico or chest oil
tea TO go South. they must promise to leave tneH
business and run after an escaped cha''eI a.
