Houses entertaining abolition sentiments,
and to speak boldly ana icarlcssl, upon all
matters involving the iatcrcs, and honor OF

This enterprise if properly carried out
Will certainly prove Il source of great pro-
lection and guidance to the Southern Mer
cantile community, many Of whom doub2
less buy their goods from Tank abolition
Houses without the slightest suspicion at
The lime that they are doing so. The most
assa!labic point with uorthcrn spcculator
IS his pocket, and ii he is given to UNDER

INDICATION of his obnoxious principles. the
latter Is very apt TO be sacrificed, if urscts-
