This is great increase within one year, and ex-
hibits the feeling which prevails at the South. Our
merchants have doubt anticipated and prepared
themselves for this change in the trade of the South,
by an enlargement of their stocks of goods-but
there is object to be effected by Baltmo-
reans and that is, to establish regular line of
packets between rhs city and liverpool. This
would attract the whole Southern custom to our port.
We know that this important subject has received
the attention of the merchants of Baltimore, and that
Ia memorial to Congress has been presented-but we
fear, that, unless it be diligently pressed, it may be
passed over during the present session. Direct inn
portations of goods from Europe would make Balti-
more as market for Southern custom, all that could
be desired and we cannot see any reason why gov
ernment should not patronize Southern as we'll
Northern line of packets as auxiliary to the Post Of
fee Department."
This is the true course. One of the most efectua
checks to Freesoil aggression will be found in the
dependence of the South the South. In the Ian
guage of Gov. Floyd, Of Virginia:
'sShow to capital that danger besets its path, and
it will speedily put forth all its energies to remove
it away. And here lies the only certain hope for the
redress of Southern wrongs. The capital of the
apparently weak, but in reality strong, for the COM
ducts of the South Our cotton, rice, sugar and to-
bacco uphold and sustain the trade of America. De-
sroy these crops. and you obliterate North America
from the commercial map of nations. Divert them
from the channels in which they now flow and you
leave New York and the North like the bottom of
the sea, which the waters have deser,ed-dsnal and
forsaken."

A FRRe VERSION OF THE BIBLE. The Governor of
Texas, in his late proclamation for thanksgiving, gives
the following quotation from the Bible. which may
be new to some, if not all of our readers
"In the beautiful and expressive language of the
Bible: The ,ointcr Of discontent' is gone; the
rain is and past the time of the springng of
flowers is past, and the voice Of the turtle is heard in
our land.''
We have heard of practice which is said to pre-
vail before justices of the peace in the ''rural dis
tricts where Bibles scarce, of swearing witness
es on the next best book to the Bible which is at
hand. The recollection of this usage suggests
the suspicion that Governor Bell has been obliged
promote the works of Shakespeare 70 the place in his
mend his to the Bible Society, calling for
immediate relief.
1t is shocking to think Of the Governor of SOW
ereign State being in such destitute condition as to
be obliged to exc out half-remembered sentence
from the Scriptures with soiloquy from the hump
backed and murderous Gloster.
Ne,u York Evening Post.
We find this Proclamation of Gov. p. Hansbrough
Bell, in the Texas State Gazette The above extract
from the Proclamation is correctly made
Gov. Bell no doubt had the following passage from
" Solomon's Song in his mind when he wrote the
above:
"For. 10. the winter is past, the rain is over and
gone. The flowers appear on the earth the time Of
the singing of birds is come, and the voice of :he
turtle is heard in our land.'
Gov. Bell no doubt intended TO quote the passage
correctly, but he certainly made strange mixture.
in the attempt to do so of Solomon and Shakespeare
He will do better next time.

THE TRUE COURSE.

The Baltimore Clipper states that the interference
of Northern aboitionsts with Southern rights, and
the apparent determination of many of them to con-
tinue agitation on the subject of slavery. have natur
ally alenated the feelings of Southerners from the
North, so far at least to cause them to prefer
Southern over Northern port for commercial opera.
tions.
The consequence has been, says the Clipper, that
Southern merchants, who heretofore procured their
supplies Of goods from Northern ports, resort to
Baltimore; and the effect is seen in the following list
of cearances from this district for Southern ports,
during the months of January 1850 and ls5l-which
is copied from the American of Saturday last:
