A Reaction at the No1h.-The la.

States of the North cheer US with the
hope that their more sober, correct,
and intelligent people are rapidly
awakening to a consciousness OF the
peril in which the success Of the
Black Republican party, with its
reasonable purposes, have involved
the government. They are beginning
to realize the immediate necessity Of
rebuking and putting down this spirit
Of lanaticism at home, and to see
that there can be no safety to the
Union without a proper observance

Oh! happy were the days ofmy youth,
When iondly gazcd upon thy face,
And knew thy heart so full Of truth
Rlch in innocence, woman.y grace.

And still portray thy picture so lovely.

SIXTY YEARS SINCE.

A cotemporary contains an essay on

PEI)DLERS.


The Selma (Ala) Reporter says
that a few days ago one ofthosc mod.
ern humbugs, known as peddlers, who
60 about selling cheap and worthless
things, was arraigned before their
Mayor, charged with violating the or.
dinances of that place, requiring spec.
ulators to take out license before be-
ginning their operations. We have
had many of these peddlers in and
about Winchester, and though a ma.
jority of them may be honest men,
with no mean intentions, yet, as a
class, we care but little about them.
The Reporter very truly says we
should suspect man who olleSs us
anything too cheap. The evidence is
against him that there is fraud in his
goods, unless he can give a more sat-
isfactory reason than is generally Civ.
en- for selling goods so cheap. The
whole idea about cheap things is a
deception anyhow, and it is bad poll,
cy in ii poor man especially, to deal
in such. Go to the best merchants
and buy the best articles, and you
will not only save money in the long
run. but you will have the satisfac-
tion of knowing that j you are cheat
ed, the merchant is still with you, and
will remedy the matter, he himself
having been deceived, doubtless, in
his purchases.
We believe in spending our money
with our neigbbors, and giving the
cold shoulder to transient fellows who
60 about selling trash. 1t has always
seemed very strange to US that sensi
BILE persons would patronize travelling
humbugs in preference to their home
merchants, who are tried and honest
men. A big.whiskered fellow comes
along selling twobit tricks of different
sorts. and they go faster than one can
count. Why not spend your money
with those among WON you olive,
and move and have your being" and
who from year to year furnish you on
time with such goods as you need
They help to build up the place, and
in many ways confer lasting benefits
upol. the community. Give all trav-
cling six penny peddlers the cold shouI
der, and patronize your own mer
chants and mechanics, and you will
save money by it, and discharge a
duty you owe to the community.
But many persons who buy from
home merchants, and buy on time, will
go to these rascally itinerant pcdGlers
and pay cash for inferior articles, be
cause they are cheap. Ills thus that
a community is impoverished and men
who are honest and belong to our

and county first, and we want to see

derived by all in our midst, while the
class we are speaking against will be
the sufferers. srhe fact in nutshell
is this: The Southern people neglect
home manufacturers, merchants and
mechanics, and pay cash to foreign
rascals. Don't you see the evils OF
