TO The MERCHANTS OF THE
s.SAIIn.al synIIrIsLI w LEssgl,

I
| NE the undersigned, importers and JObbers in
| w the City Of charleston, in view eff the p:
ent excited state Of the country, deem proper to
bring 10 the notice of the interior Merchants the
claims we have to their patronage and custom
The majority of US have been long established in
business, and from our experience are well acquain-
ted with the wants of this section of country. All
of Us hold sentiments in common the agitating
question of the day-slavery and all of us desire,
far practicable TO become commercialiy.inde
pendent If the North. We have NO desire to
derrats the energy and enterprise of the Merchants
OF Northern cities, but we claim TO be able to sup
ply goods in respective liaes, on as favorable
terms, both to price and credit the Merchants
of any city in the UDion. We have facilities for
obtaining goods from Europe not surpassed by any,
and our importatiOns from abroad are very large,
notwithstanding the reports to the contrary, circu
lated BY those who have NO knowledge Of what
they Afirm, or whose interest prompt them to mis-
lead.
American goods We obtain from the manufactnr-
srs On As favorable terms any Jobbing Merchants
of the Northern cities. Why then should we not
be able to sell favorable terms as others?
We are able and determined to do so, and all We
ask Of you isSto try this market, lay aside the
prejudice-fOr it is only pre- judice-that your
customers prefer goods from New York to those
from Charleston, and build up and encourage your
own Seap"rts and your own Merchants. Ii we
cannOt do what We profess, you will be subjected to
very little for opportunities of leav-
ing by railway or steamer are offered every twelve
hours.
Our stocks will be complete by LIST February next
AID it remains to be seen how many of those who
have heretofore purchased all their goods in North
ern cities will give Charleston trial this Spring.
