A MERcHANT's ViAw OF TIE EFFECTS
or 4 Dissolution OF Tng USioN. Mr.
Vim. A. Croker, friend Of Daniel Web.
sser, and active Wing, and ono of the
most intelligent merchants Of Massachu-
sets, in recent letter presents an ad-
mirable protest against sec,ionalism
while taking q sound common sense view
Of political questions. The following j.,
pregnant passage
81 invoke tho manufacture, tho MGR
chant, the ship owner, the mechanic
every man who has tho smallest stake in
the prosperity, the wealth, the happiness
Of the country--to consider how his in
tesests arc bound up, would be aigecte
by violent disruption or even u peace
able dissolution OF the Union Of these
States.-lt is common to hear the re-
mark that the North can take care Of
herself. Doub less she can.-Thc enter
prise of her people is bounlless, and
their energy inaomtable. But it must
10 remembered that u dissolution of the
Union with the formation Of northern
republic would cause new combinations.
Commerce is essential to nation wealth,
no less than national greatness.-The
north is not an exporting region, and
from its elm, te, soil AMI productions
cannot be so to any uniformly general
extent. ii is mainy from the South and
southwest that we are indebted for the
immense carrying trade which employs
our navigation. 1t is in the same States
that our manufacturers find large mar.
ket for their goods, and our importer
no inconsiierahle proportion of their
orders. Now suppose tlle In on dissolv-
ed, and the northern States forming one
republic, and the southern and southwest
ern states forming another.
Suppose, what under such condition
would inevitably be the case, this south
crn republic with little nav CATION OF its
own to foster, and with no manufactures
TO encourage, in rec! procal commercial
intercourse with all the manufacturing
countries Of Europe, on the basis of abb
solute and unqualified free trade: sup
rose. what under tho sentiments Of ami
mostly engendered by the disruption,
would be no less likely to occur, dscrim-
ination against our ships and goods Of
the north, and whercwoud be that pros
pcrity which now . lad,iens our manufac-
turing towns aud fills our seaports with
life and activity? a dissolution Of the
Union would dcp,eciate the
value OF the property Of New England
fifty cents on the dollar. The wheels of
our manufactures would be stopped, the
implements of tho mechanic would he
put by, our ships decay At our decaying
wharves and the grass spring up in the
streets OF our towns and cities. These
would be the material consequences.
The moral consequence may be summed
up in a single line. The destruction Of
the worlds last hope.
