Respectfully,
/. S. BERRY, 297 Broadway.

The Mirror replies as follows:
As the above communication is ad-
dressed 'to the editor Of the Mirror
and not marked private, we take it for
granted that the writer desires the full
benefit Of 4 public nyowal Of himself
as an 'Abolitionist.' Instead Of re-
tracing the expression quoted from
the Mirror, We unhesitatingly re-as-
scrt the fact that 'we have yet TO learn
that an -Aboliionist can be gentle
man. We will confess, however, that
our personal acquaintance with men
of that description is very limited, and
may have been unfortunate We have
not the honor of knowing Mr.. Berry;
but on inquiry at the publication office
OF the Mirror, learn that he is an agent
for the sale of Pianotortcs manu;,ctur-
ed in Boston by Mcssrs. Hallct, Da-
Wis & Co.
In order to draw sharply the line OF
distinction indicated by the rcma,k at
which Mr.. Berry feels his self respect
irritatcd, it is necessary to define the
meaning OF the term Abolitionist'-
term, in our understanding Of the
word, of blacklist rcproach.
W hat, then, is it to be an sAboli-
zionist! 1t is, in the first place, to be
traitor to the Constitution, which re-
cogniscs slavery. !, is to be viola
tor OF the law enacted for the rccama-
ton Of fuSitivcs from service. 1t is
to be q vio!ator of the law enacted for
the reclamation of fuglives from SER
vice. 1t is to be an inStieator to ser
vile rcbcllion--a stcalcr Of negroes
dlsturber OF the pcacc---a promoter
Of bloodshcd-a DESTROYER Of Tie Tn
ion of the STATES. Aboltionisnl leads
directly TO all these calamities; and
there is 40 escape from the iSSuc.-
Can the advocate Of such cause be a
gentleman. We think not. Still less
can he be Il Christian.
And what are the habits and man
ncr, Of the Abolitionis,s! Read their
journals; listen to their speeches; look
at their spccklcd conclaveS, where
Fred. Douglas, Abby Kelly, and
Horace Greeley pour forth the toulest
,slanders- upon !tc Lrz;!sst ga:sfes 81 f
the nation; traducing alike the dead
fathers of the Republic aud the living
defenders of the Constitution. Are
these libeliers of Washington, Web
stcr, and Clay-thcsc rcvilcrs OF the
Government and contcmners of law
worthy OF the name Of gentlemen?
We doubt even if MIR. Berry, agent
OF Boston pIanolurtcS, would be will
ing to class himself in such IA category.
If he still insist upon claiming the
name Of '-Abolili MIST, we can o..l,
say TO him at parting, chucnn q son.
yo". Snch hlackbcrr are not exact
" to our taste.

From the Now orleaas picayunc,

'OKRA IIEMP.--W w have already no
.ticed,, sometime since, n specimen Of
hemp ofa fine quality made from the
fbres ofthe okra or ''gunbo'' plant,
which grows with SO much abundance
in this State, and requires so 1T
tie care in it's cultivation. We have
before us another specimen of this
hemp, and take this occasion to make
few remarks concerning it.
The manner of turning the fibre of
the okra into hemp IS, we understand,
very simple, and was the discovery of
gentleman named Blanc. He made
the experiment on Colonel Maun
sci Whites plantation, and complete
ly succeeded. Mr.. Blanc has talk
Ell out patent for his invention, and
is now endeavoring to bring it in
to notice.
The merit of this hemp consists in
the chcapness Of its culture; the abun-
dance of the raw material; the quick.
ness with which it grows, giving, we
understand, three crops year, its su-
pcrior yield to the acre, Of five times as
much as the Kentucky hemp: the mo-
ney saved in its being made near at
home and not brought from distance;
its more durable qualities in water or
damp than any other hemp; and its very
easy manufacture into bagging. This last
article is made and needed in such guam
titles, that any substance that will sup
ply it, of equally good quality and at
cheaper rates than can be afforded by
the present basis of manufacture, must
become a staple in this market, and
one of profitable pursuit.
We append the documents relating
10 this discovery, which We find in the
report of the U. S. Patent Office:
PARISH OF PLAQUEMISEs, Jan. "a.
1Sol.-John Blanc, the bearer here
OF, raised on my plantation, at Deer
Range, some beautiful specimens of
hemp from the okra plant, and raised
seed enough to plant forty or fifty acres
| consider it as valuable as any other
staple raised in this State, and should
have continued the culture were it not
that it intcriercd with the works | was
compelled to pursue in the manage
mcnt Of my cane crop.
am not able to say how much it
would produce to the acre; but, from
what ] saw, | think it would yield
from thirty-hvc hundred to five thou
sand pounds clean hemp per acre, and
require less work than any other
crop until the gathering commences,
when, with proper apparatus, the Ia
Dor would be less than with either cot
ton or sugar.
Mr. Blanc himself is an honest and
industrious man, worthy of all praise,
and give him this testimony with
pleasure.
