ENCOURAGE SOUTHERN MECHANICS. We have fire.
quenty thought that the practice of purchasing
great distance from home, in the Northern States,
such articles could easily be manufactured and fur
on the part of the South. Such of trade is
not only calculated (but certainly has the effec) to
drain the Southern States of large proportion of
their cash resources-to dishearten mechanics and
artists, and expel them from amongst US. Only few
weeks ago our return from trip up the Ohio river
curiosity induced to notice the marks some of
the freight and We saw more than hundred old
fashioned, stained bedsteads made of popular and 9TH
common wood, shipped at Cincinnati and directed
to Mobile, Ala. On the same boat were six wagons
taken to pieces and laid up on the hurricane deck.
The woodwork was rough and smeared with red
paint, and the iron work was not better than be
made in any town in the South. These erQuisite
specimens of northern skill in the mechanic arts were
d. ected to Montgomery, Ala, large, beautiful pros
porous commercial city-the capitol of the State.
The presumption is, there Were ~cod iron, red paint
and mechanics in both of those Alabama cities and
there was necessity for purchasing such wagons
and furniture in distant State. There is
countable. and We think, censnrable reluctance to
purchase articles mad. lin our own towns We think
highly probable that if halter, shoemaker, tailor
sadder, other tradesmen, who is amongst US, and
not literally supported, to leave his residence
and locate in New York, Philadelphia, some 9TH
er northern city, his southern acquantances. who
than they did when he lived amongst them. Such
is the passion for farJetched commodities. But we
think the ukindness, Ito say nothing of the usurpa-
TORS and arrogance) of northern brethren, is bring
ing to reflect, and arousing US to sense of our
interest, this subject and unless they greatly inn
prove in their department. they may hereafter expect
receive much less of southern cash than they have

A WARNING VOICE. The annexed paragraph is
copied from the Day Book, an able neutral journal,
published in the city of New York. 1t presents,
clearly, the state of sentiment at the North. The
South is told, emphaticay, that she cannot rely up
on Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, or Vermont TO
do her Justice and she IS further warned - to unlte
and take care of herself" The contract which the
Northern States entered into with the Southern, has
been, and will continue to be- efecually nullied in
important particular and this is only the incip-
lent step towards general movement for the destuc-
ton of the institutions of the latter. The Day Book
says:
g Massachusetts has pledged herself in the consti-
tuition of the Union to give up fugltlves from labor.
Her recent acts not only in the election of Sumner,
but in the resistance of her people to the arrest and
the return of SIMS show distinctly that she does
not mean to fulfil her contract that her citizens
dishonest and will repudate the debt and break the
bond whenever they can. They have submitted to
the United States because they must. But submits
sion force and acquescence to agreement very
different things. We are no disunonists or seces-
sionists but we say distinctly to the South, and
with sorrow and shame, you cannot rely upon the
people of Vermont, or New York, Ohio, to do you
Justice You must take of yourselves, your ln-
sttutons your property, your wives, your little ones,
and your fresides. The quicker you unite in this
decision the better will it be for YOU"
He BLowED HIMSELF. When General Dockery
that celebrated letter to Raleigh paper, about
certain Wing candidate now before this District for
seat in Congress, he stated that he was man OF
great rmness of purpose and great strength of intel
Iect.' AS the General was referring to the gentle
man from Richmond, he might have said that he was
of large understanding and of great strength of
body; but he thought, we suppose, that every one
could perceive that, by looking at him, and he would
refer those other qualities not so manesty aPPa-
rent.
1t is scarcely necessary to add, that Gen. Dockery
himself was both the man who praised and the man
who was bepfaised.
But that makes no difference. Weglory in a man
who when he finds no one else will blow his trum-
pet has the independence to catch it up himself and
give one of those perfect Gabriel blasts that Will
arouse the whole world to the knowledge of his great
ness and originality, to say nothing of his " frmness
of purpose and great strength of intellect"

EXCITEMENT IN New ORLEANS. The kind of a
half celebration in New Orleans recently, of the land
ing of the Cuban invaders at Cardenas, so excited
the ire of the Spanish residents in the city, that they

of paying homage to the administration of President
Fillmore" The card announcing this determination
created so mnoh Indignation that Mayor Crossman
intmated to the Spanish Consul his fears of the ina
bty of the police to prevent its being dispersed by
force. The Consul advised the subjects of her Cath

to follow, and the procession was accordingly aban.
