WELL sam.

The following remarks from the Richmond
Enquirer are applicable here, ms they arc
throughout all the South. We fear that the
oft-repcated lectures on this subject are be.
ginning to pail on the Southern appetite
that the Southern people, instead Of taxing
their energies to throw off this incubus on
their prosperity and independence, have
come within the circle of attraction of the
federal loadstonc at Washington, and, for
getting all else, are exclusively intent on the
rewards Of party victory. For years have
the Southern newspapers been incessant in
their solicitous warning on this theme, but
they are still unheeded, and we fear will re-
main so until some future and more mon-
strous outrages arouse the South from her
guilty lcthargy:
Z" 1t has been satisfactorily established by
correspondent of this paper, that the pro.
fits made by manufacturers, merchants, job.
bers &C., in the Northern States, upon the
goods manufactured in those States, and
imported and brought through said States
for consumption in Virginia, amount to Il
sum ranging from four and half to five
millions Of dollars annually. An enormous
tribute to be paid by a single slave State to
the intcrmeddling free State of the North.
While the figures of our correspondent on
the subject OF taxation and its consequences
are satisfactory, without inquiring how this
degraded condition of things may be cor.
rccted, we should with some confidence call
upon all parties to look to the articles below
from abolition prints in New York and Penn.
sylvania, and expect Wings as well as Dem.
ocrats 10 prepare their minds for coming
events. What will be the condition of the
South if the underground railroad party
should triumph in the next presidential cleo
tions In vain may we plead the obligations
of the Compromise when the government Of
the country shall be in the hands of the un.
dcrground stock jobbers When they now
violate the law with impunity and advertise
increasing movements against the South, will
they not abolish all law and constitutional
obligations Can any samc man doubt the
