Commercial Non-Intercourse.

The following resolution urging the South
to adopt, and rgidly adhere to, system of
commercial non-intercourse with the North
ern States of the confederacy, which under
the influence of blind fanaticism and Of Sec
tional hate, have outrageously violated the
cornpaetl of union-has been unanimously
adopted by the Alabama House of Represen-
tatives:
Whereas, Alabama, in common with her
sister Southern States, has ever been content
with her constitutional rights in the Union;
and, whereas, the Northern non-slaveholding
States having long prospered upon Southern
commerce. yet give unmistakeable evidence Of
determination to deprive us of our constitu-
tional rights and equality in the Confederacy,
using the wealth and power which our COM
merce gives them to effect this object; there
fore
Resolved, By the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatiUes Of alabama, an General assembly
co,,ueaed, That it now becomes the duty and
interest of Alabama, and all other slayehold-
ing States, to cease commercial intercourse
with the Northern States of this Union; and
to effect this object, we most earnestly recon-
mend to the people to hold meetings in every
county and neighborhood, and then and there
firmly resolve that they will not hereafter buy
any article of merchandise or manufacture,
purchased either directly or indirectly in any
of the Northern Statesof this Confederacy, or
from any Northern firm, agency, or person
doing business in the Southern States; and
that the members of the present Legislature
hereby pledge themselves to use their infu-
ence to carry into effect the object of this res
olution.

The Rapid Growth of the Black Repub-
licans.

Referring to the fall elections in the nom
slaveholding States, the Republic, Black Re-
publican journal in Washington City, states
exultingly these facts.
"The accounts arc now made up, and a
glance at the balance sheet will show the ut
ter bankruptcy of the Democracy. Every free
State east Of the Rocky Mountains has pro-
nounced q verdict against the party. One hun
dred and seventy-six, out of three hundred
and three electoral votes, are about as good as
'bagged' by their opponents"
When it is remembered that the Demo-
cratic party is the only repaining organiza-
ton in the Northern States left to oppose the
march of Black Repnblicanism to victory over
the ruins of the Constitution-the facts so
boastfully proclaimed by the Republic are
too significant to be disregarded by the South.
Her friends in the North are powerless to save
her. Will she herself'n not prepare to drive
back the advancing columns of her enemies ?

our foreign affairs, our relations to Cuba, to
Central America, Mexico, &c, as well as our
sectional and domestic troubles it might be
fortunate, perhaps, if the next President were

of legislation consistent with the Constitution
of the United States, and the provisions of
this act'
But not so when ''the people, are referred
to. They are subject only to the Constitution
of the United States. In creating their own
constitution, and thus preparing to form and
regulate their domestic institutions, in their
own way, (not the way prescribed by Congress
for the mere Territorial government,) they are
not subject to the provisions of this act" but
''only to the Constitute of the United Stats.''
And in thus forming 'ir own institutions

may determine, the people vindicate the great
doctrines of State sovereignty and popular
sovereignty together, and illustrate the har-
monious workings of a perfect and complete

Paper Money VS.. Coin.

Says the Boston Post: "As long as Con-
gress and the State governments permit
pernicious paper circulation, which at once en-
courages initiation and yer-trading, and there
by increases prices, at the same time allows
foreigners to sell at Paper rates and realize in
hard coin, so long will this country be at a
disadvantage in its dealings with other nations.
Within five years there should not be bank
bill under fifty dollars" in the length and
breadth of the Union, and the humiliation of
these promises to pay" could be accomplish
ell as pleasantly as gradually. The gold from
California would fill the places of the film
sies," as they are correctly if vulgarly demon
mated, and the money of the people would
be real money, according to the constitution
and common sense Our gold would be kept
a. home, and if foreign nations wanted it, they
would have to pay good price, in their pro-
auctions and manufactures. At any rate we |
should then have dollars worth for dollar, |
and any moderate loss of specie to the coun-
try would be of little financial consequence, |
with circulation that was all Of gold and sill
YER. What effect there might be, it would be
simple and natural At present. we buy for
paper and pay in gold, when every dollar lost
has marvellous effect of course upon the bu-
siness of the country, by its direct bearing
upon the small specie basis of an immense is
sue of paper. Against the goodness of each
particular bank bill, we have nothing to say.
The law and the honesty and ability of bank
can make their notes what is
allied "good''-that is, they can be Gquidated
9 notes Of other people. But the great and
ervading evil of our paper currency is its I'M
lvorable influence upon international trade
n influence overshadowing that of tariff and
overnments. A nation that buys in an infa- I
on, caused by a paper currency and pays in
'in, when the outgo of that coin is always
ealing fatal blows to that very imitation and to :
ne trade and confidence that are based upon :
is doing bad business, and is really pay
