The Yazoo Democrat. [volume] (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1858-18??, 1860-01-07

The people of the North are beginning to feel
the effects Of their course towards the South. AS
q sample how the Physic is working, the Philadel-
phia Ledger says that the excitement which pre-
wills in the public mind, in relation to our sec
tional disputes, is very seriously disturbing the
relations Of business and, If continued, will cuuse
great deal Of suffering among our merchants
and lnboring population. A great many of our
trades depends upon the Southern markets. some
have suddenly ceased operations for want of
orders from the South, and, consequently, en-
ployers have had to discharge their workmen
This is particularly trying at this period OF the
year, and will he still more distressing unless such
confidence is restored ~ will enable business to
flow naturally and properly in its Legitimate chan
mel
We believe We are not wanting in the common
feelings Of benevolence nor do We cherish OppO-
sition to the old humane maxim of " live and let
live" hat we cannot refrain from m expression
of satisfaction at the state OF things revealed in
the above extract. We only regret that the COM
mercial intercourse of the South with the North
has not been entirely suspended, and that rctrbu-
ton Of the kind above described is not visited
one dimes worth of Southern patronage. The
medicine would be severe, but il is the only RENE
dy that will ever cure the sectional ailment.--
Southern patronage has bloatcd the Northern
merchant with wealth, and his preachers and pres
SEES have worked in his mind, already satiated with
rain-a political alteration that can only be cured
by actual starvation, or scared out of him by the
near prospect of q famine. THE severe medicine
of non-interc0urse, administered directly to tn e
jobbers and tradesmeh of the North WILL in its
effects, reach every class and condition of North
ern society, and will not fail in producing at
once, one of two eifects-tbat Of driving them to
the very extremes of aggression, out of which
would specially come dssolutiOn-or giving the m
pause in their career of fauatcism and treason,
and bring them to the faithful performance of
constitutional duty to the South and the restora
ton of fraternal feeling for her people This
policy would not be practical dissolution Of the
Onion, NJ some suppose but il would be the
native of it. and II might, in its effects, he more
disastrous on the Northern people than dissolu
ton, fual mud absolute.
We hold it to be the duty of the South to try
every mean consistent with her interests and
honor to save the Federal Union from disruption,
and iF it falls vt last-f fall it must-her reputa-
ton will be unsullied, and her character unspot
ted before the world.
a temporizing policy cannot, with safety or
self-respect, be longer pursued. The day for
compromises and expedients has passed. " The
times are to be met not followed" We are no
longer to bear the ills we have through fcaf of
others we know not of The best way to avoid
danger Is to face it," is paradox trite and true.
