49, A manufacturer called upon us this
morning, and said that large share of his
business had been done at the South. He
has manufactured his goods in Connecticut,
and sold a large part of them at the South,

q number of years, and with money receiv-
ed at the South he has paid his workmen

the unfriendly feeling towards the South that
has lately been so industriously encouraged
at the North. His agents at the South want
no more of his goods, and his losses this
