A VOICE FROM THE NORTH.

a
We commend the following article
from the Manchester New Hampshire)
Union Democrat to the careful atten-
ton Of every planter and slaveholdeF
in the South. 1t shows up the char
aeter of unscrupul6us Northern manu-
features who are growing rich by South
ern patronage. Read the article and
say what should be done with such
facts as these sent down to US from the
North for our consideration : a.,
Rem ey for AbolitiOnism.-We have
long been of the opinion that there is
but one remedy for Abolitionism. Our
people shudder at the world slavery
They have but a meagrea idea of the
thing it represents. They never see it
as an institution which feeds, civilizes,
and christianizes barbarous race but
simply as an agency whose general
tspirit is represented by the occasional
cruelties practiced under it., Conse-
quently they will never let it rest
They will find some pretext for its agi-
tation or, in default Of pretext, they
will assail the thing itself, and secure q
large measure of public sympathy
! Look back little. The acquisition o
Louisiana and Florida, the admission 0
: Missouri and Arkansas, the annexation
of Texas, the Mexican war, the purchas
. of California, New Mexico, and Missilli
J. the repeal of Missouri Compromise
. have all been made the pretexts for
violent Abolition excitement. And, i
! the present temper Of the public mint
it's almost impossible for Congress !

ern trade. 1t was hoped that the muir
derous invasion of Virginia BY old John
Brown and his gang Of villains, would
awaken the people of the North to the
danger, ifnot the disgrace, of the Abo
lition agitation in every form. But It
now seems to have fred fanaticism with
new frenzy !; and certainly there has
been no time within the last ten years
when the manufacturers here have yet
restored to such infamous means to
swell the Abolition vote. The vote in
the corporation wards, especially in the
First shows with what alacrity the man
ayers responded to the appeals of the
Republican committee, BY coercing
their workmen to vote the John Brown
| ticket. m
Our Southern friends are generous
and forbearing. We have, in this city
$4,000 men who want so to vote that
the South shall understand that we do
not wish TO interfere in any way with
its constitutional rights. The doctrine
has been openly advocated here by the
Abolition orators that such men musi
be starued out-must. not be employed
and many an honest Democrat, gentle
linen of the South, who works upon the
goods you buy, has been compelled tt
vote against your rights aud bis owl

missal. And it not long since that

Living Within Means.

There is now a dreadful ambition
abroad for being "genteel." We keep
up appearances too often at the expense
Of honesty and though We may not be
rich, yet We must seem to be s'respecta-
ble," though only in the meanest sense
in more vulgar outside show. We
have not the courage to 60 patiently on
ward 10 the condition of life iu which it
has pleased God to call us, but We must
needs live in some fashionable state to
which we ridiculously please to call our
selves, and all to crafty the vanity Of
that unsubstantlal world of which we
form part. There is constant press.
ure and struggle for front seats in the
amphitbeatre, in the midst of which all
noble and self-escr.6cing resolve is trod-
den down, and many fine natures are in.
voluntarily or lshed to death. What
waste, what misery, What bankruptcy,
come from all this ambition to dazzle
others with the glare Of apparent world
~ success, We need not describe. The
mischievous results show themselves in
. thousand ways-in the rank fraud
committed by men who dare to be dis.
honest, but do MT dare to be seen poor :
and 10 the desperate dashes at fortune.in

The farmer! is the universal res

but we can't get cars. The grain buy

or not willing. and allow their products
to pass through other hands to market.
Ii railroad men ave arrived at the con-
clusion that this is Their true policy, We
would earnestly Hcommend them to re-
consider it. We say the producing class
should be shown every accommodation,
aud allowed every indulgence consistent
with the well beiIg Of the road.
The instructions to railroad agents are

the road, and can soon load car, v e
think they should always have the pref

railroad companies will never lose any
thing by accommodating farmers and
even if they do inconvenience them
selves little and allow q car to stand

it when the farmers are doing 80 much
for them. The railroads are dependent
upon them to great extent while, on
