The Right Spirit.

In the Philadelphia North American, of the
2Srd ult, We fnd card from Morris S. Halo
well Co., merchants of that city, well known
throughout the business community, which man
itests spirit which we should be glad to find in
all business men.
1t appears that some persons, anxious to
evince their servility to the Slaveocrats and their
peculiar Institution, have endeavored to deprive
this firm OF portion OF their trade by appealing
to the ptejndices Of buyers in the score of the
unsoand political opinions OF this most reputa-
bic house. We subjoin portion of their card,
and commend it to all business men, here and
elsewhere:
VT, after Ibis, there are any who desire to
know our views before purchasing from Us, VIC
can best reply by embodying in this note an ex.
tract from a letter written by us some months
since, which will explain itself:
"The members of our firm entertaining wide
difference of views on various topics, and as
'aiiny opinions on the Slavery question rs there
are members OF it, are fully united on ONE point
namely, that, where any one presuncs to de
inand, as preliminary to purchasing from us
that he shall know our opinion upon Slavery OF
any other mooted question on Religion or Poll
ties, he shall be informed, as we now tell you
that he cannot purchase from US for cash or upon
any terms, until he shall have amply apologized
for the insult. %
