These are exclusively from the South and the Pacific
coast. Deducting their amount from the aggregate
we have left 1929 2O5l2l and of that $27,OOO,OOO
is made up of foreign goods and gold re-exported,
leaving only 1O2,2O5,l2l of possible northern ex-
ports. But it is not probable that all or nearly
all of that is Northern produce. The items are
made up of Breadsufs, 1885, 94; Meats $2O,2O6,-
265 Fish, 3d. 56, 480; Timber, $l1 100000 Manu-
features, $35,454 GA; Miscellaneous, $4975639-
Now, in the item of Breadstuf5 although the North
supplies the European export nearly quite all of the
-four sent to inter tropical climates is Southern meats
and fish mainly Northern Especially fish, although
much of the pork and bacon put up at Cincinnati or
St. Louis, is grown in Kentucky Tennessee Missouri
There probably live oak and yellow pine exported
from the South than there is of all other kinds of timber
from the North. The manufactures are mainly North
ern. However, in the articles of breadstus meats and
TIMBER the South is most certainly entitled to credit
of some twenty Millions leaving to the North exclusive
of California, about oneffh of all the exports and
even with California, not more than onethird. The
Northern foreign export of manufactures comparative

ket which the Union secures to that section more than
compensates it. By means of this market it is enabled
to settle its balances in Europe with Southern products

There is pleasant city in Ohio, called Cleveland ~
ing on the shores CT Lake Erie and not far from the
scene of Perrys victory in the last war. This city
not only handsome CITY, but it is wealthy and flour
ishing one and patriotic one to boot and than
that it is place of shrewd calculators who know how to
make even their patriotism pay
Now these worthy Clevelanders thought unto them
selves that they ought to have monument to the brave
Perry and to themselves for when people put up this
sort of thing they have eye to their glory as
we'll as to that Of the hero of their admiration And
furthermore they reflected that Perrys glory was
such glory as could not be increased by the height OF
any monument that might be erected to his memory
why then, wherefore should they erect any high
ment. The thing was plain. They didn't erect any
high monument, they erected to this great naval hero
whose glorious achievement On Lake Erie saved the
Northwest, little monument, about twenty feet high
from the pavement to the of the heros head anC
at cost all told of ten thousand dollars Thus did the
great Northwest-the beautiful city OF Cleveland, etc.
etc., honor the great Perry.
So much for Perry. Then for themselves. They hac
engravings of their little monument inserted in the pic
torias They invited all the persons in the world re
lated to the hero to be present. They got Bancroft th
historian to deliver address the occasion In fact
they advertised and pulled up show Ia Barnum, ant
the result that tremendous concourse Of people
was drawn together, out of whom the railroad com
panies hotels and other business interests of Cleveland
made enough money to pay for the little monument tcl
times over. So you see how virtue is its reward
how patriotism and prosperity march hand in hand
how the very memory of Perry is treasure to some
| his countrymen.

All the 1ummery going the rounds of the united
DougasBel Opposition papers to the effect that the
Breckenridge leaders in New York could not get MIR.
Buchanan's consent to FUSION is untrue. The facts
are, that Mr.. Buchanan did urge union in New York
to defeat Lincoln-that the Breckenridge did ap-
point committee to meet similar committee of the
Douglas managers. These committees met and agreed
upon plan of union, which rejected by the Doug
las State Committee under the dictaton Of Dean Rich
mond Finally, on a Breckenridge Association in New
York opening negotiations to see if the Douglas COM
mittee would do anything, they told, that in
case would single the Breckenridge Electoral
ticket, any openly identified aOlth the Breckn-
ridge party be put upon the DougasBel union ticket
This, under Mr.. Douglas inspiration and dictaton.-
Who are to blame? The Breckenridge men, or the
Douglas-Bel opposition?

s. Democrat

Our new contemporaries of the Douglas school remind
of the boy who occupied the time when he ought to
have been putting out his tongue and taking pains
his writing in making certain eccentric combination
of lines, nder which he wrote " This is Horse" A
very necessary precauton else nobody would have re-
cognzed the resemblance its equine affnities-
So it is with the new Douglas organs aforesaid They
all labelled Democrat the same principle that
the boys drawing marked horse' There is the
True Democrat at Petersburg the National Democrat
at Raleigh, and again the True Democrat at Charlotte
They ostentatiously labelled Democrat" What
be sad than that the label is very necessary
to show the intention.

nss-Our neighbor of the HerCld, in his yesterday
issue, goes into quite connpon over some extract
from the National Inteigencer, which says that on
Thursday last, COL Walter L. Steele delivered an en-
contracting address to the Breckenridge and Lane men OF
wilmington, N. c.. etc. Now, all the remarks of the
Herald are founded on mistake. Col. W alter L.
Steele did not address anybody in Wilmington, N w
on last Thursday. He aCas not here at that time on
Thur sday or Friday afternoon or evening" ne did make
some remarks to the North Carolina Brecknrdge ana
Lane Club of Washington, D. O., when called upon'
being invited to their rooms as is stated by the Con-
stuaon newspaper and copied into the Journal OF yes
erday. The Herald or the Integencer is hasty or In
adequately informed as it is wholly when it further
says, Every intelligent person here knows that Mr.
Breckenridge losing ground every day. and is already
the hndmost candidate in the field" Now this Is rich
but it is too fat altogether little streak of lean might
have relieved it, perhaps saved it but there IS no lean
in it at all it is all fat There are some fifteen 10 SIX
teen hundred people in New Hanover county who will
show their faith by their votes in November and they
are not disunioniss either The Herald is evidently or
the funny vein but it must not strain things joke
is joke.
P. s. Since writing the above, we have picked uE
the National Itegencer containing the announcement
referred to by the Herald. AS it appeared in the In
tegencer of Monday Tuesday at farthest it couIe
not have been predcated upon any remarks in the Jour
mol. which did not reach Washington until Tuesday
evening after the Itelgeh1er had been published W.
wonder how that usually accurate paper came to make
such mistake. But the support Of Bell and Everett
will lead anybody into mistakes

This paper has at length had the candor to out
openly and avow its position as advocate of BELL

ponent of the Democratic party-a courteous and re-

that it will be equally that it carries the flag as
we'll as fires the guns of the Opposition. We shall re-
spect none the less open and avowed than as
covert opponent. In fact we shall respect it more We

Watchman oftily proclaims the fact that he doesn't

given to little extract from the Salisbury Banner
instead of the Watchman and we also think that the
editor of the Watchman understood this perfectly as
such things aO occur, but there are people to whom
the chance of saying something rude offers too great
temptation to be resisted.

The Last of the Observation-Disclosures Thereon.
There is something absolutely ludicrous in the sudden
collapse of the Kingdom of the two Siciies." 1t re-
minds one of scene in pantomime, or of the sudden
changes effected by the Ravels. The whole fabric ap
pears to have been a sham. 1t was crushed in easily
as you would crush an egg-shel. To call it a pouer
was to misca it. 1t was what this country would be
with the constitution gone and fanatics in power-a
mere union of force without moral cohesion. 1t
thing out of date thing that cannot exist now or
hereafter. Those who tell that here, in America,
men can be compelled and sovereign States coerced to
obedience to authority, when the principle upon
which that authority alone justly rest has been VIC
lated must think that the Southern States are more alb
ject than the hereditary bondsmen of the two Sici
lies. Is it SO?
Talk about dsunion We have heard men talk dis
union and advocate secession and they are now nearly
all Douglas men. One of the most ultra freeating Sc
cesson speeches heard in e was delivered
by leading friend of Mr.. Douglas, now State cleo
tor on the Douglas ticket in North Carolina We have
never been a disunionist nor secessionist, per Se
but we know, as everybody does, that law
which is opposed to the conscience and opinions
of the people upon whom it is intended to OPP
crate never does operate. The will apply to the
matter of Union. Union which requires threats Of
hanging to keep it together, is Union 1t will crum
BILE upon the first touch and fall to pieces like the Nea
politan despotism.
What is the use of bandyng accusations of dsunion
ism and all that sort of thing Nobody 1Uans disunon
there be any such, they must be found among the
ranks of disappointed Office seekers, who would rather
reign in hell than serve in heaven. The people are moi
of6ceseekers. But, on the other hand who supposes
for moment that the mere form of unon without the
spirit OF justice and equality to give it SOUL could be
long preserved, or would be worth preserving Why
it would be like setting up mummy and pretending tc
obey it as man. Nay, it would be worse-it would
be like keeping decayng corpse to poison the air with
its ftd exhaations and pretending to revere it as the
head of household. Let us labor with all our power
to keep aliveand intact the Constitution the SOUL o.
which the Union is only the body Don't let us stulti
y ourselves by supposng that we can, with advantage
or even with mpunity keep aboveground the fostering
body, after the spirit has fed We really think that tn
people of the North dream that such feat is possible
to Yankee ingenuity. We think they mlsled by thu
apparent willingness of many Southern politicians tt
submit-even to lend themselves to antiSouthern dom
nation The thing, however, is not so. The Union
as formed and contemplated must cease just as
az depends upon mere compulsion The compelled
Portion may be subieets-they cannot be citizens
Wnen that comes it will amount to revolution. anf
tne present government is at an end.
