COMMERCIAL INDEPENDENCE OF THE SOUTH.
If John Browns foray into the South, and the
sympathy which he has commanded in the North,
shall enure to the freedom of the South from its
unwise dependence upon the North for every arti-
Gle of manufacture, it will prove to be a blessed
era to our countrys history.
That this independence can be achieved, we
have not a single doubt. But it is folly to deny
that the work must be accomplished gradually, and
that much selfdenia must be brought to its aid.
One thing the South do, and do at once.
Millions of dollars arc annua)lyspent by the South
err pooplo at me North IN pleasure trips, anu III
luxiiies which can be dispensed with Let TINS
dram Of wealth from the south to enrich the North
erupeople, be stopped right away, and we shall
weken the North to no inconsiderabe degree,
While we shall retain in the South large capital
to 70 to work with, and establish manufactures of
thee necessary articles for which we are now de-
pcdent on the north.-Ro2eigh Register.

A MOVEMENT AGAINST NEGROES IN CANADA:
BY the proceedings Of the Court OF Asslzes OF
Essex county (Canada,) it appears that the Grand
Jury have made presentrnent to the Court, oased
upon representation emanatng from the authorities
Of the township Of Anderson, in regard to the
negro population of the county. The Grand Jury
submit the document that presented to them
to the court and urge that some action be taken III
the matter The Anderson authorities say: eve
are aware that ninetonths Of the crimes committed
in the county of Essex, according to the population
are so committed by the colored people" And
they further urge "that some measures may be
taken bv the Government to protect US and our
property or persons of capital will be driven from
the country. The court, in ailuding to this
presentment, remarked that "he was not surprised
at finding a prejudice existing against them
(the negroes among the respectable portion of the
people, for they indolent, shittless, and
dishonest, and unworthy of the sympathy that some
mistaken parties extended to them; they would
not work when opportunity was presented, but
preferred snbsisting by thicving from respectable
farmers and begging from those bcnevolenty
inclined"

Down ON THE TENNEssEEANs.-There is said to
be an old farmer living in Red River county, Tex
as, we'll to do in the world and hospitable, but who
has most inconceivable prejudice against Ten
nesseans, insomuch that he will not entertain
man from that State. His mode Of ascortalning
a Tennessean is something like proslavery men of
Kansas in determining a Yankee, by the pronuncia-
ton Of the word "cow:" the Yankee calling it
"hco1c" His word is calico, which he says the
Tcnnesseeans uniformly pronounces 'cot'her." A
stranger rides up aud probably asks the privilege
of spending the night at his house. The old plan
ter, before answering definitely pulls out sngu-
lar piece of calico from his vest pocket, and show
ing it to the stranger, asks him what he thinks of
it. "Why, that's caliker, amt it?" he naturally
rep lies Hang me, sir.' shouts the old planter
