The New York Tribune on Southern
Merchauts.

The New York Tribune, which never issues .
number without abuse of Southern men or South.
ern institutions relieved its pous heart on the late
Thanksgiving day in New York, by a furious as
sault upon Southern merchants, from which we
extract the following wholesale libel:
"A Southern retailer of dry goods rarely or never
pays for them when he buys them He obtains them
on credit of the jobbers of New York or PHILADELPHIA
expecting pay for them out of the proceeds of their
sales unless he can find some more advantageous in
vesrment for the money. Should the crop of his
ton fail the price of cotton rule low the rivers
fail to rise that it be oated market he won't
pay if he has invested his current receipts govern
ment funds, a new house. or plantation, he prob
ably won't 1t il gambling business this supp1yins
the South with goods credit in good part extended
to men who have neither the property nor the esab-
lished character which could alone entitle them to
such credit"
Another New York journal calls the attention of
New York jobbers who deal with the South to
this infamous article and we would also invite the
attention of Southern merchants who deal with
the North to it. How long will they continue to
put themselves in position to be thus insulted and
slandered, How long will they trade with sec
ton in which they are robbed Of both property
and character, How long will they pass by their
own Southern cities, where their wants can be
supplied and their feelings are always respected
TO cast their pearls before swine which turn AGAR
and rend themi
AS to the New York Tribune its abuse is more
desirable than its praise. Its ibels hurts no man.
reputation, for a journal which every day of tn.
year sacrifices truth to its evil passions is believed
by nobody. The foul epithets it bestows are 81
