conclusion that the gathering must be small one
We think that very few persons have gone from

have deem appointed from a town up in the noun

ment has been made in the town of Elizabeth City,
but generally speaking, North Carolina does not APP
pear feel or to display any interest in the
"Convcn,on." Her larger and more commercial
towns appointed no delegates, and it is very doubt
full if any would have gone, even if they had been
appointed In good truth North-C Carolina has no in
terest in the schemes that these meetings got to-
gether to promote. She can have great pleasure
in witnessing or listening to squaobles between the

SOUTHERN ENTERPRIsE-THE APPROACHING Con-
vENr1oN Under this head, the Petersburg Democrat
says that il the Delegates to the Commercial Con-
venon will take note of the following PARTICULARS on
their way perhaps they may find food for valuable
reflection:
They will start in some stage or railroad coach
made in the North an Engine of Northern manu-
facture will take their train boat along; at every
meal they will sit down in Yankee chairs, to Yam
kec table, spread with Yankee cloth. With
Yankee spoon they will take from Yankee dishes
sugar. salt and coffee which have paid tribute to
Yankee trade and with Yankee knives and forks
they will put into their mouths the only thing South
ern they will get on the trip. .-----~..--,.
At MI ht they will pull off pair of Yankee boots
with Yankee boojnck; and throwing lot Of Yam
kee forgery Yankee chair, lie down to dream of
Southern independence, in Yankee bed, with not
even thread of cotton around them that has not
gone through Yankee loom, or out of Yankee
shop.
In the morning they will get up to fix themselves by
a 12x14 Yankee looking glass, with Yankee brush
and comb, after perhaps washing off a little of the
soil Of the South from their faces, with water drawn
in Yankee bucket, and put in Yankee pitcher, on
Yankee wash stand, the partner in honorable ex-
lie with lot of Yankee that make up the sum
of furniture.

to become very cheap, all other articles would be-
relatively high Thus ali debtors would find their
burdens lightened and all creditors and annuitants
would lind the purchasing power Of their incomes
annually declining Silver would it was thought rise
relatively to gold, and assume something Of the
proportion It held before the discoveries Of Peru
These ideas generally prevailed, and induced Holland
to deinonitise gold-adhering to silver. Ten years
have passed, and $780, 100000 Of gold has been
added to the worlds gnld yet prices generally are
ton to gold that it did, and money within six months
has been higher in the open market than 1t ever was
before. Thus all the prognost;cs upon the gold in,
Huence seem to have failed. The stream of gold has
not lowered its value, although fed from the three
new sources of Russia, Australia, and California
The question then recurs, will it so continue? will
gold continue to flow in and swell to overlooking the
vaults of the banks without ultimately producing
the effect anticipated2 If we look back upon the
events of the last ten years, we shall find that they
have been such as to counteract powerfully the in
,Auence of gold. The discovery of gold followed
disastrous famine, when much capital had been des-
troyed. 1t was accompanied by the revolutions of
Europe, when still larger amounts of capital were
destroyed and gold boarded. The advent of the
French Empire was followed by large absorption
of capital in the shape of goods by the gold countries
The Russian followed, swallowing up immense
other sums ard still greater ones were put into rail-
roads-in America, in Western Europe, and in in
da. At the same time the harvest again failed
All these circumstances were productive of high
prices and these prices drew produce from Asia,
for which silver sent pack in large Masses
The effect of sending away was to reduce the mass
Of money relatively 10 commodities. All these Cir
cumsances have caused gold to fail of its effect The
large losses by bad harvests and railways, could
have been met, but from the results of the ex-
traordinary productive industry stimulated by the an.
ticpatcd effect of gold. The rcacter has now come.
All commodities are abundant and gold-while ac-
cumulatng in swelling masses-s still pouring in,
the harvests are good peace undsturbed and prices
moderate. What will now be the effect of $500 0cO,-
600 more gold added to the worlds stock in the next
ten years? There would seem to be little doubt but
that the effects formerly anticipated now to be
realized to some extent and when confidence in this
fact reytes the activity of business will
compensate for the present stagnation.-United
