SPIRIT OF THE PRESS

tract from the New York Herald, In which tha
paper aludes to the scarcity of provisions la the
NORM and Northwest, and assumes that In grea
degree 1t is attributable to the fact, that farming
has been left to the cold foges" who barely raise
enough for their own subsistence; while "Younc
America" at the North, sis among the merchants
spectators, inanciers, stock jobbers, hucksters
oyster saloons, gambling dens, vagabondiz Ing
politicians, &c &c Any thing but hard work. y
The Herald continues, Thai 'if there be not revo
luton in these things within the next ten years, the
only alternative for suihciency of bread In the
North, for the people of the North will be to fal
back upon the Southern system of African slave

1AHe TABOR The Post advises that they be worked
gangs, but not under that name, as 1t Is an uu
happy one, and sounds like 5lGUely They should
be, it says, under the supervision of a police,
which should not be harsh Ia it's treatment, BIZ,
should hide the clash or bludgeon beneath thu
coat!"
The Examiner goes on 10 comment with piouaucy Y
upon this acknowledged dependence of the North
OF the South, this alleged tendency of the North t
live ~ smartness rather than industry, and this
confession 81 the necessity of some system oI
forced l&por-invountary servitude by white
loatgfs. 1t then contrasts the South with the
North, and porrays the folly of the Northern inter-
ference with those Southern institutions which
have produced SC much that is admirable and
good and which have contributed so much to the
wealth of the North. 1t says the South supplies
the North with the excess of food for its consump
ton beyond its own production, that it keeps its
manufactures employed, and gives freight to its
shipping. Il continues:
The South presents market for the Imports of
the North or the more valuable portion of them
for its manufactured goods for its wooden hams,
wooden nutmegs, broom corn, spelling books
trashy literature, ice. granite, bricks salt fish
ana other Yankee notions, which can only be
swallowed under the hydraulic pressure of the
Northern commercial system. The South bears
the burthen of the taxation, fights the wars of
the country, and has already presented to the
Northern portion Of the coniederacy the greater
part OF its domain. All this the South does or
has done: and all this it continue to do if the
North will only act with some discretion and pro-
prlety at home set Its own house Ia order; and
not disturb the domestic arrangements of the
South which enable it to render these great SER
vices the partner of the which fnrDishas
the substantial capital and the substantial indus
try engaged in the business, while its Northern
co-partner pockets the profits, and supplies the
gas, glitter brag, brass work and dye suffs.
The Examiner concludes by portraying the dis
astrous consequences TO the North of the abolition
of slavery-by which it would be deprived of it's
great source of occupation and wealth
The Whig has editorial to the Wings who
forsook the American party and went over TO the
Democrats, in the last election. II says they have
disgraced the name they bear, and have assisted
10 riveting on this commonwealth, for four years
longer, the chains OF unrelenting party tyranny.
ltsays Here we have been struggling for long,
long years, In the attempt to free this blessed old
Commonwealth from the pestilential poison of Lo-
coiocOism and 10 break down the arrogance and
crush the spirit of that hateful oligsrchy-the
Richmond Junto. Year after year we have met in
the shock of battle. But numbers, not confidence
10 the justice Of the cause, determine the issue o.
political contest For the frst time an important
breach was made in the ranks of the enemy-and
yet, instead OF charging the more vigorously there
were found men who called themselves Wigs,
who either retired sullenly from the field or base
ly and ANONYMOUSLY deserted to the opposition -

The Enquirer speaks of the late Democratic VIC
tory and says Of the vote cast upon the occasion,
sit such TO substantiate the wiadom Of the
measure creating universal suffrage 1t was de
monstration that caunot fail to Inspire increased
confidence, that first principles" are as ardently
cherished as they were at the time Of their adop-
ton. 1t was demonstration that will testify to
monarchists, that in the land where the fires OF
liberty were first lighted up, there has been de-
generation of patriotism
The Penny Post has an article on the late Mis-
souri troubles, and the sentiments Of Northern pa
pers in relation to them.
"They hope, by keeping up the excitement to
get a preponderating vote In Congress, and thus
hod all the power and all the plunder in their ow
hands Ii there has been civil war; it is due 10 the
emigrant aid societies If more slave States are
to be admitted, then the Union is st an end. That
is all. We shall have dissolve 1t ourselves Yam
