The Governor goes for direct Southern trad
with Europe, by lines of steamers fror
from Baltimore, Norfolk, &C., and says tn
proposed discrimination is a sure and peaccfu
means of accomplishing the desired result
The following extract indicates his genera
tone:
"Show to capital that danger besets il
path, and it will speedily put forth all it
energies to remove it away. And here lie
the only certain hope for the redress 0
Southern wrongs. The capital of the Uuion
concentrated ut the North. The South ar
apparently weak, but in reality strong, for tn
commerce of this mighty republic rests upo
the products of the South. Our cotton, rice
sugar and tobacco uphold and sustain tn
trade of America. Destroy these crops, an
you obliterate North America frcm the com
mercial map Of nations. Divert them fror
the channels in which they now flow, an
you leave New-York and the North like tn
bottom of the sea, which the waters hay
descrted-dismal and forsakcn.
