DIRECT IMPORTATION.
We would refer our readers to communication
of Southern Rights in this mornings paper. Ii
treats upon subject of great Importance to us all
especially our mercantile community.
We have too long made ourselves dependent upon
the north we have looked to them for our iron
cotton cloth, groceries, hardware and all such mate
rial, as we have for long time allowed them to
think and write for us while we have had within
ourselves all the elements, equal II not superior 20
hem, to make the south prominent in all respects
as their most favored localities

Boston firm advertise 'cotton material the produc-
ton of free labor only sold with u.s. we would ad-
vocate with every STAKEHOLDER to purchase OF the
merchant who imported his foreign goods. direct
from Europe and who has less of northern produc-
ton in his establishment.
The almighty dollar is that which governs the
North-touch their dollars and you touch their prn
pies
A course adopted like that advocated by our cor
respondent--who by the way is one of our most IN
huential merchants-would do more to change the
sentiments of the Northern people than all the po
ltical parties under -christendom.
We trust that two years may not elapse until all
our merchants will import directly from Europe
their foreign goods either to the port of Charleston
or Wilmington. The thing be done-it only
wants an effort and it will be accomplished.
ABOLITION OF GRAND JURIES.
We see that the State of Michigan has abolished
grand iures and substituted i'll its stead indictments
upon information. The State of Vermont has also
introduced bill of the same nature, which will
doubtless pass New Hampshire, Massachusetts,,
Connecticut New York. Pcnnsylvania Virginia, and
Louisiana have taken partial steps to abolish the
grand jury system, and we really believe itwould
be of vast benefit to the several States to do away
with it entirely 1t would certainly reduce the taxes
of the vastly, and not see where the
necessity exists for their continuance. We think it
ought be left optional to proceed in criminal pro
sccutions by indictment or Information.
1t is said that the Democratic party North is
loosing ground. This is not supported by facts. The
Democratic gain in Massachusetts of this year over
last was ZOO; New Jersey. 10000; Wisconsin,
), GOO; Iowa, 1000; Pennsylvania, 5000; Ohio,
:, 100; California, 10000.
Minnesota and Vermont stand the same as last
year the popular vote. New York elects half
lcans last year elected their entire ticket by full
twenty thousand majority.
In no State save Minnesota and Vermont, has the
Republican party maintained its ground. The De-
mocracy have gained largely in nearly every State,
and but for divisions with in their ranks would
have achieved complete victories in most of the
above named States. With the unity and har-
mony which is fast pcrvadng their councils a glo-
rious triuph must be awaiting them in the grand
contest of year hence.
