While the anti-savery agitation" Gays the WASH
ngton Union, "has sustained Southern Manufacturer
while it has driven off even Southern wings from the
protective policy, and has induced the Southern mer
chants to import directly from foreign ports-it
has natural and Inevitable consequence lessened the
Southern trade with those points in the North in which
the doctrines OF abouonism have received sanction and
support"
In proof ofths latter fact (says the Baltimore Amer.
can the testimony of the Boston Transcript is to the
point. We may add 10 quoting and extract from the
transcripts article that it ustities the South in tho
course she has pursued in this matter, and admits
that she has acted insel-defence and in behalf of
the constitution and the laws
Every serious results have begun to flow from tbe ex
ampes OF resistance to the constitution and laws in
Boston. Several mercantile firms of this CITY have we
learn established branches in New York; and every
species OF business either has been or is likely To ha al
fected by the very general and prompt measures which
the South has taken in cutting off the supplies. No
ton which has been adopted need be quoted than The
fact that, in att which should ever be cosmopotan
and n which the points OF the compass should NOT be
recognised and within the sweep of whose hallou;n"
influence North nor South should be knownNeven
in art the blight has been already felt
"The New England Art Union-an institution at the
head of which one OF The best Union men in the whole
country presides-has shared in the general
OF southern support The gentemanly superintendent
of that institution informs US that his southern honora
ry secretaries and agents sending back their com
missions daily Frequently his letters are returned un
opened Books ard pamphlets, on which he had maid
the postage also returned upon his hand like uncean
things. We have letter before u.s. dated Tallahassee
March 81, and addressed to Mr. Spear, in which The
writer says, alter declining to agent himself: 4
have delayed writing IN hopes to procure some other
person act Tor you but have as yet failed Most of
those to whom have spoken declined on the ground
that they would have nothing to do with the matter
because it originated in Boston, and doubt not YOU will
find that your enterprise will be in bad odor generally
at the South.
This is very mild and temperate specimen of the
letters that received and the reader NAV imagine
II northern art is thus under ban at the South what
be the fact in regard to northern trade and man
ufactures If Boston had been engaged in the vndica-
ton OF any high princple-in resisting an arbitrary
tax or in carrying out instead of violating an unpopular
awand Tor this she had been called upon to suffer in
her pecunary inerests-she would have had the con-
seriousness oil right TO sustain her. and we believe there
is no community, which would, more readily than Bos-
ton, brave any sacrifice snder such consciousness But
to cfeumvent and defeat the execution of law which
must be carried out government be dissolved was an
extent OF suicidal folly for which the business men of
Boston are not responsible, although they may be- made
the sufferers. Nothing has been ga med No hieh prin.
ciple has been vindlaated upheld Prescription bit
terness and mischief have been the only fruits and the
has been carried out in the face OF all opposition
