THE RIGHr VIEw.-The Alexandria Gazette
comments upon the direct trade movement
thus: fe
There will be, and need to be, no petty local
jealousies between the cities of Virginia, in
case direct trade be established with the Euro
pean ports. If the markets Of Richmond,
Norfolk. Petersburg, and Alexandria, contain
the goods, let the merchants of Virginia, and
the people of Virginia, buy them from the i'm
porfers at those cities, without going to the
North at all. But, above all, establish MANU.
FUCToRIRs. This is what we want, first and
foremost. Materials good enough for the
dresses of our ladies, and clothing good enough
for our men, can be manufactured, sold. and
bought within the limits of the State already.
Let the men set the example in buying and
wearing Virginia cloth and Virginia cotton
manufactured goods. If Richmond or Peters
burg make by the operation, we shall rejoice.
If Alexandria makes by it, we doubt not but
that we shall have welcome well done from
our sister cities. We shall rejoice to see all OF
our own State cities prosper from the trade of
our own people. Let us look at home first.

SOUTHERN MANUFACTURES AND DIRECT
TRADE.--A large meeting was held at Alexan-
dria, Va. on Wednesday morning, "to take
such action as might be necessary in regard to
the better protection and encouragement of
hsme manufactures, and to induce the cities Of
Virginia to engage in direct Importation .
Amongst other things it was
Resolred That the aid of citizens in the in teri
or was looked for to inaugurate system of
foreign commerce, which will enable rs by im-
porting into Virginia direct, from foreign
ports. their necessary supplies, to ship the rich
products of the State without the fnterven-
tion of Northern cities, and by these means, in
due season, we shall be able to supply the
merchants of the in terror upon as good terms as
the merchants ofother cities, who neither aid in
sustaining the resources of the State, nor en-
courage us in the establishment of our COM
merce or manufactures.
1t was also resolved, that as the Northern
fanaticism threatens to overthrow conserva-
tism, solemn duty was imposed on Virgin
ians to protect their rights and maintain
peace, peaceably if they could, forcibly if they
must. ese teT
