Northern Watering Places.

We are not sure but our people deserve the
rebuke Administered in the subjoined article
from the Richmond Dispatch:
We observe BY the Northern press that the
number of arrivals in New York from South
Carolina, of families en- route for the Northern
watering places, quite as large as at any form.
er period. The various steamboats, bring full
loads of the chivally, and the annual tribute
money of the pleasure.seekers begins to flow
freely into Northern Golfers;
On the whole, the South is good customer
for the North Considering what an eagle South
Carolina is, in chivalry, she seems to be plucked
aud eaten, with reverence be it spoken, as easily
as fat goose. The whole commerce of the
South is in Northern hands; her great staple
makes a London Of New York; while in ;her
own cities grass grows in the streets; all her
manufactures are purchased North, her sons 60
to Northern schools, and even her nvalids and
pleasure seekers seek health and recreation at
Northern waters. Such provincial dependence
would be Objectionable enough to high spirited
people, even if the relations between the two
Sc ctions were Of the most fraternal character;
but; in the present state Of affairs, it is suicd:
al.
The North was never guilty of such folly.
She has grown rich and great BY encouraging
her own Industry, and refusing to purchase
auSht abroad that she could manufacture or
procure at home. If tile South would rigidly
practice this lesson, she would have no reason to
fear the future. ;. . -.
Ofall the fashionable follies, that Of patron.
lining the nauseous water and more disgusting
society of Saratoga, in preference to the magni-
6cent springs and refined society Of the South,
is the most monstrous. There is no spot in the
whole North which combines such advantages
for health, comfort and social enjoyment as the
watering places of Virginia and other Southern
States. Where such mountains, such bracing
air, such magnificent scenery such variety Of
medicinal matters, as in our own glorious Statea

laws, until it begins to practice the principle,
