Manufactures Of the South.


The Era, speaking Of the Memphis Con-
veniion, gives an opinion that the South 10
beginning to see It's own interest, and is in
earnest to withdraw itself from exclusive
planting aud introduce manufactures Of va
rious descriptions; thus bringing slave arti-
sans in competition with the free. IL SO, the
support to slavery so generally rendered by
northern mechanics mud manufacturers, will
work directly with increased power to their
own oppression. A righteous retributien Il
will he, and one natural and inevitable. We
invite our citizens in time to look at the mat
ter aud avert the evil by seeking the. .emanci-
patton Of labor in every form. Whether the
South succeeds in introducing mechanics and
manufactures or not, the laborer always has
been, aud always will he Impoverished and
degraded by the existence of slave-lnbor.
The industrial classes of the North are the y
whose interests are especially concerned Ia
the question. They hnve il in their power
to overthrow the system Justice aud l,i-
nanity combine with interest in urging them
to this purpose. Let not narrow views or
party prejudice prevent the effort. Tie Era
says:
"Slave labor, hitherto restrained to such
applications MS did not materially compete
with the interest Of the free, is to take u new
sphere, and its cheaper productions to he
thrown into rivalry in tho markets Of the
world with the work of men whose votes nnd
voices, prrjudcrs aud expressions, have
nmrscd it into formidable power. The cheap
or kinds of tobacco are manufactured in the
Sonlh now. Two or three thousand slaves
in Richmond iluyc turned us many " hitc men
ont of that employment in Philadelphia aud
the day is not distant when icus of thousands
of black girls will be making The coii0ns thnt
the Lowell giils nre paid for to-day. Every
species oiuanuinctures which eau he chenply
aud effectively oyersecn aud regulated by
superintendanls, is quite possible in Virginia
aud the sectional Independence of the South,
which is to he established while il is growing
up her slaves into manhood, will he holding
tlown the wnges Of the free lahorers of Tho
North, who have allowed aud helped their
enslavenent. The offence will he punished
withont u mirncle here or pnsipunement till
hereafter. Tie South will be rOniing right
mud reaping is benefits, the North will be
suffering for The wrong until 1t is completely
nIOncd for aud removed. Let Gods Justice
work. We are not without hope thHt IL will
he mitigatcd to the one ns it will he blessed
TO the other pnrty, for tie henciicrnce of lhs
system under which we have our common
existence is us infinite MS its Author"
DER NATioNAL pEMoKRAT.-This paper
has made it's appearance. Its mission is an
important one, the circulation OF facts among
our German population. The pnpcrs should
he scattered freely over Counibiann, Stark
aud Wayne counties. This class of Lopu-
alion lIa'e had very limited access to facts
regarding slavery, and yet we know tia, no
class OF persons eau he more readily renrl,ed
by them, thnn The Germans, il the facts can
come TO them well authenticated. Let anti
slavery men see to il, that tli, mems is
thoroughly used, il it shall prove, MS we hope
il will, faith iu insirunleutulhy. We cart
read the De mokrst, mud 70 hive to tuko il
upon trust. A good German Anti. Slnyery
paper is just what has long been needed, aud
what.wil do immense good.
