defence Of Southern rights is a defence Of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet

our merchants and the Union committee seem to
have become convinced that ii is useless to at
tempt 10 change the current OF public opinion in
this State. 1t is all one way, and directly OPP
posed to the efforts Of the Union committee, and
In favor of high handed measures against the
South. Ii Is as common as to hear men speak
OF the weather--to hear q merchant say" . ii
Is idle to attempt TO stem this abolition current
New York aud Ohio are all over abolition, and
the people will listen to nothing bnt anti
slavery, free-stil, and the repeal of the Fugitive
slave law. "Ihe President might" they con
tinue, (" had he taken strong measures last fall
and come out with spirit and determination, and
removed every higher law officer and put in their
place friends of the compromise, have broken up
the Seward faction, but it is now too late He
has done just enough, and that hestatingly, to
get the hatred and contempt of the Free-soilcrs,
and not enough to inspire confidence and cour-
age in his friends"
IL tell you," said one of the leading commit
tee mcn aud u merchant on Saturday TO a COM
pany of merchants--"We shall have non.inler-
course with the South in less than five years
and shall prepare for it. Seward is as cunning
as the devil and AS ambitions as Caesar lie has
been here and made Union speech he thinks
to quiet us and make us believe him our friend,
and he has quoted good many, but lie is a
devil and he sets the snares of the devil. The
state is as completely underthe thumb of Weed
and Greeley as the members of a catholic church
are under the thumb Of the bishop We have
been cheated and humbugged all our lives by
these fellows; we paid for printing a hundred
thousand copies of Stewards higher law speech
when we paid money to Draper and Grinnel for
the Wing party. and now we are paying to print
sermons to counteract it. We have paid for
and supported the Tribune for ten years, because
we thought it Wing paper, and now we are
getting abuse from it. In short, gentlemen, we
have been turning the grindstone to sharpen the
knives which are to cut our throats."
This is about as fair a picture of the feelings
and sentiments which prevail in the minds OF
the merchants as can be given; and, in our
opinion, there never was time when de-
cded and determined ACTION was so necessary
now
