We have it on reliable authority that Southern
merchants who have heretofore traded with the

they would be glad to continue to DO business

here, they dare not purchase goods of persons suG

where bis interest dictates because OF the Zero

surrounded? Intelligent merchants from the
South, as we understand, have expressed the
opinion in this City that, should they take home

litonists, the fact being known in their neighbor
hood, their stores would not be safe from the at

This institution, which promised well when it was
first organized, and from which 30 much was and is
expected, does not flourish so well as IL ought We
fear it is not properly judciously managed.
The celebration Of the las, anniversary at the Astor
House, looked very much like failure. But for
Mr.. Lynne's speech 1t would have been a downright
failure. If the members aud directors allow them.
selves to be controlled by the small-beer htya,ucrs
OF the day, the institution will never prosper Such
people arc the death Of everything with which they
come in contact. Great skill and judgment arc in
dispenssble in the management Of all institution,
dependent ON the voluntary support Of the publ
and Of the patrons Of art.

The abolitionists appear to have exhausted their
ingenuity in their endeayors to defeat the execu-

creditably in the matter, and have convinced the

out-gcneral both, thinking he can show leg and

inclined to run. Tom Corwin and the rest Of the
cabinet are not in such hot haste. They are taking
their pudding and beef now, and will not go into
