hereafter will not trade with or buy from any
merchant, who does not buy his goods South of
Mason and Dixon's line, and is not, in our belief,
fully identified and connected in feeling and inter-

support of any preacher, who is not truly Southern
in his sentiments, nor will we employ any mechan-
&c, under any pretense whatever, unless we are
satisfied that he has the true interest of the South
at heart. .faG..s
Gs~ A writer in the Montgomery -4dUertiser
and Gazette, speaking of the late Convention held
in that city, says:
But the platform of the resolutions in ques-

persons as bitterly opposed to the compromise
measures-to silent acqulescence in them-and
zealously in favor of Southern Rights as any MEM
bers of the Convention can be, who are not in ia

out attempting some other remedy in the first in.
stance What remedy, it may with propriety be
asked, have applied and exhausted? None
except remonstrance and complaint, and these have
rarely been effectual remedies for any political
wrong. Perhaps the fault is, We have INDUCED in

are many persons whose minds deeply impress

The citizens of Madison county, Alabama, have
organized an association and appointed the Hon.
c. c. Clay, ST., It's President. The following are
the principles upon which it is based and designs
acting:
eve know our rights, and knowing dare main
tain'' them; and believe that the establish
ment by the South of a general system of COM
mercial non-intercourse with the North, as
far as practicable and the determination of the
Southern people to depend upon their own
sources and to i've the preference in all instances
to all articles of Southern manufacture directly
imported by Southern merchants, where they can
be had will be of immense advantage to the South,
and may possibly bring the Northern people back
to sense of theif moral and constitutional obligaF
tons, and thus restore peace and amity between
the sections, and secure constitutional L Mon

found impossible to lie it down, many hope to
starve it to death. Poor fools. The very means
sought to crush it, have proved its salvation. 1t

Let SouthrOns Beware Of MOnroe'S Clothing

Calling on Alfred Monroe with friend, who
has laid out considerable money in the purchase
of his goods, we asked him to become adverti-

AS he has made money enough under false col

Orleans and Lafayette.
