Northern Shoes and Boots.

There Is no article which the 50utH +
purchases more extensively Of the
North thin shoes and boots. Tosay
nothing Of the. whites, the whole
slave population Of the South wear
shoes Of Northern manulacture.-I
Millions upon millions ara poured
into Massachusetts annually for the
purchase Of this article. If there
were no other objections it is enough
that the shoes are inferior to those
of Southern make. They are gotten
!up for Southern market, are de-
fectiye in many ways, and soon wear
out and are useless. Every man
who wants good and Substantial
pair of boots and shoes, either for
himself or servant, is we'll aware that
he must have them made here. aud

seen somewhere q scene described in
Ione Of the multitudes OF shoe manu-
factories with which Massachusetts
abounds. Every little knot of shoe
makers have one reader, who, while
they ply their avis, reads the New
York Tribune, or one Of ParkeI's CT
BDeechers sermons to them, and they
hammer away upon the leather as il
they would rejoice to have the head

Quietly to be shod whilst they are
Ipelted with the rotten eggs Of slan-
der and blackguardism. 1t is not
for Us TO reconcile the principles
Iof those shoe manufactures with
their practice, in living and making
money on the slave labor which they
pronounce so ubiquitous, but We may
] at least invoke Southern men, in the
lname of common manliness and self
respect. to single out at once this
shoe trade, and see if they cannot
shake off their dependence on these
abolition incendiaries, cease from pay
ing money to men who will employ
it in trying to cut their Threats, and
who hold that it is the right and duty
|Of the slaves to rebel and of the

Northern Trade at the Seulh-

leans. They report the feeling to be
SO intense against Northerners, no
matter what their politics, that it was
unsafe for them to remain. Vigi
lance Committees are. established all
over the South, to detect and drive
out Northerners. In many instances
Northern born citizens have been
disfigured, driven from their homes,
and allowed a few hours to depart
altogether.
The returning gentlemen met
eleven agents of New York and Bos.
ton houses at railroad station in
Virginia last night, who we're tick
eted through to New Orleans. They
were notified by Vigilance Commit
tee that they had better return
North, and, after consulting with ths
agents returning, concluded to do so
and arrived here this morning.
These gentlemen report numerous
instances where orders for Northern
goods have been countermanaed il
consequence of the Brown Iaid, ana
exposure of Helpers book. My in
formants assert that there prevails
throughout the South feeling o
intense bitterness towards the North
and they express themselves Of tht
belief that the union of the States
cannot continue many months.
