goods buy much of the food FOR her popuaton' and
without those goods they would be without food or

Sugar is another large and important article and
becoming daily more so, from its increased produc-

WerI Indies.
Corn and Flour can always be obtained on better
tarms from the Southern Atlantic States than from

for Western products of nny kind.
Tie. Mechanics aud Manufacturers OF the NORTH
would lose, by dsunon, their only good and reliable
market, for the West will soon become rather com

Dsu,,ion, for a while, would puzzle the South us tC

but if she did not expire from plethora Of the com

home mercantile, shipping, mechanic and manu-

and supports from abroad.
The North has taunted the South for many years
for neglecting to diversity pursuits and become ndc
