EFFECTS OF FANATIcIsM.-It is now evident that the
principal watering places of the North have not met
with their usual success during the past season. and
it may be well to inquire little into the causes.
Heretofore Saratoga and Newport have been the
grand centers of attraction for the fashionable society
Of every section of the Union. Here the rich and
idle would assemble in crowds, filling the vast Hotels
to rcpletion, and for many weeks scenes of revelry
and mirth " ould abound while money was being
poured out with most lavish hand, especially by
our Southern neghbors. But now all this is changed
The houses at these places are but half filled and
scarcely Southern fashionable" can be found at
one of them.
The cause for all this is clear enough The South
has been for years rcvled and insuted BY certain
party Of the North and its presses. No terms of
rcproach were low enough to apply to them-nigger.
drivers slavebreeders and every epithet that could
be coined was heaped upon the heads of Southern
gentlemen and the Southern people generally While
this party was in minority at the North it could
be passed by as the idle rawlings of mad men and
women, but at the last election this small party
despiscd. proved itself the majority party of the
North and it was but expressing the feelings of the
majority of the Northern people in their Billings
gate and slanderous illusions upon the South.
The rawlings of a few could be passed by unno-
ticed, but now the is dferent-the whole North,
following the lead of The Tines Tribune, The Lib
erator-Garrison. Phillips and the like have joined
in the chorus and the South can do nothing less
for them by Northern fanatics.
Hence it is that this wealthy and liberal customer
and patron of Northern watering places remains at
home, goes to Europe visits their spas which
numerous, and this season have been thronged
to overlooking with the very elite of the South.
They now spend their money among themselves
itstead of bringing North to fatten their SANDER
and fill the pockets of their detractors and rev
ers. And they do perfectly right. 1t is not the wa
tering places alone that will be affected. This is but
a small item-a million so of loose change spent
for q few weeks pleasure. These Abolition vagrants
stroying the whole trade of the North.
The course Of this class of politicians has shown
to the Southern people the necessity of uniting and
acting together for their own protection and benefit
They will depend hereafter more upon themselves
They have already an immense line of railroads in
successful operation Their inland water commune
cations unequalled and the produce of an Empire
can be readily centered at almost any given point.
They will build up foreign trade-establish ocean
steamboat lines, and convey their own produce to
the European markets instead of sending it here and
paying double commission for its Transmission
abroad
The inhabitants Of many of the Eastern towns
have already fe: the effects of their senseless and
iltempered zeal against our Southern neighbours.
Many Of the manufacturing towns of Massachusetts,
have been sadly crippled in their business, and Bos-
ton, the very hot bed Of sedtion and Abolition slang
whanging has done little more than half her usual
business this year with the South This decrease
will continue from year to year, and We shall all
awake to the proud satisfaction in short time of
having destroyed our whole Southern trade in our
praseworthy efforts to steal niger. We went
out to shear and came back shorn.
Such are some of the effects Of Northern g Re-
publicanism upon Northern Institutions" Our
treasury will be rapidly depleted while that Of the
South will swell out into ponderous proportions, all
through our excessive love for the negro who when

place, and for little provocation kick him out Of
doors Such is I" Republican philanthropy and far
sighted sagacity.-How long must We submit to the
rule of these men? NJ Y. .Nesos
