SOUTHERN LITERATURE.

The New York Times, a free soil abolition
paper, thus reminds the South of what it
owes to its own literature: -
1.-THE publisher of the Southern Quarterly Re-
view announces that with the July number, his vo-
cation publisher of that work must cease, unless
he succeed better than he has done hitherto III
his endeavorst to collect money from his delinquent
subscribers His appeals hitherto, to those indebted
to him, have been received with "characterstic in
difference and his Applications to banks for relief
have shared like fate" His list of subscribers
cecds 1900; the debts of the $1,000, and
its assets $4 000 if but one fourth of what is due
from subscribers be realized now, it will be suf
cient to Sustain work, yet destined to give tone
and character to the Literature. not only to the
South but to the whole of North America" The
Review. is intensely sectional being issued indeed
for the express purpose of giving literary dignity
and character to Southern views social and politi-
cal economy. large share of its pages usually
devoted to elaborate vndicaons OF Slavery and the
residue to laudations of Southern writers. 1t has
ability and at periods of its existence has containe ed
some of the most able and scholarlike of Ameri-
can productions. The States which it processes to
vindcate and represent ought to give it more gem
erous and effective support. Certainly 1t is not
credtable to them, that it should perish by their de-
fault in net paying the debts they have incurred"
Whilst this learned and excellent Southern
periodicals. in danger of dying for want of
support, the mammoth literary sheets of the
North drive brisk trade through the South
ern States. There is scarcely a Southern
country journal in which we do not find the
prospectus of one of these huge humbugs,
published at low price but considering
the trash they contain, and their latent immo
ralty and abolition, they are dear on any
terms.
Such periodicals as the Southern Quarterly
Review and the Southern Literary Messen-
ger ought to be universally sustained by all
who have any professions to literary taste'
and any desire for the establishment of South
ern literature. whilst others, who wish mere
ly weekly journal, will do the South and
their households a service by patronizing
some of the excellent newspapers which
abound in the Southern States
