A SOUTHERN MOVEMENT.

The importers and jobbers of Charleston, South
Carolina, have issued circular ''To the Mer-
chants of the South and Southwest" in which
they bring to notice their claims to patronage and
custom. They say:
The majority of us have been long established
in business, and from our experience are well
acquainted with the wants of this section of
country. All of US hold sentiments in common
on the agitating question of the day-slavery-
and all Of us desire, SO far as practicable, to be.
come commercially independent of the North.
We have no desire to underrate the energy and
enterprise of the merchants of Northern cities
but we claim to be able to supply Goods in our
respective lines on as favorable terms both as to
price and credit, as the merchants Of any city in
the Union We have facilities for obtaining @ foods
from Europe not surpassed by any, and our i'm.
portatons from abroad are very large, notwith-
standing the reports to the contrary CIRCULATED
by those who have no knowledge Of what they
affirm or whose interests prompt them to mislead,
American Goods we obtain from the manufactur-
ers on as favorable terms as any jObbing mer
chants of the Northern cities. Why, then, should
VIC not be able to sell on as favorable terms as
others We are able and determined to do so,
and all we ask of you is to try this marKet-lay
aside the prejudice flor it is only preJudice)
that your customers prefer Goods from New York
to those from Charleston, and huild up and en- -
courage your own seaport and your own mer-
chants.
Among the many favorable notices of this
enterprise in Southern papers, we clip the follow
ing from the Edgefeld Advertiser:
DIRECT lMpoRTATIoN.-It is most gratifying to
observe the evidence of an awakening zeal in the
city of Charleston for the further promotion of
Direct Importation to that sea port. The fact is
welcomed in every part of the Southern country,
and our city will be looked to from all quarers
with hopeful expectation. The time is ripe, and
the mercantile interests of our section are ready
for the change. Upon Charleston and her spirit
ed merchants. depends in great measure, the
working out of that change high prosperity
awaits her and them, if efforts and expenditures
be Immediately put forth commensurate with the
necessities OF this great cause. The spring season
rapidly draws near. Thousands of Southern and
Southwestern merchants will be seeking their
supplies in a very short time. 1t is probable that
large proportion of them will at least make
trial of the Charleston trade Is she ready {?
We doubt it not. Let her be douby ready Let
her press all her means and energies for the test
No less enterprise is before us than a rival
competition with New York. Some will sheer at
the idea of such thing Let them sneer; but
with right exertions rightly put forward and
rightly offered, the lip that curls to-day may next
year be full of praises for the result Above all,
let the merchants of the interior of South Caro-
lima ponder long before refusing to our ea-port
the patronage she so reasonably claims in the
present aspect of affairs.

agitation cease with the causes which have
produced it., Let harmony be restored be-

w. H. SEwARD.-This arch traitor has return
ed from his trip to Europe and taken bis seat in
the United States Senate, prepared, We suppose,
to engage in his favorite pursuit of plotting
treason against the Government. We were glad
to Observe:tha no Democratic Senators, except
Douglas and Pugh, recognized him with even an
ordinary salutaton. 1t is as common for him to
be denounced in the Senate and in the House, as
traitor, as it is to denounce his confederate in
treason and conspiracy, old 0ssawatomie Brown,
and it is proper and right that the Southern Rep
rescntatve5 should cast upon him the indignty
they have. We observe, however, rs an offset to
the great Union demonstrations in New York,
that this stirer-up of seditiOn and servile insur
rection was, oil his arrival in New York city,
honored with salute of one hundred guns, and
was met at the Aston House by deputaion from
the Board Of Aldermen. If the great and good
Washington were to be resurected from the grave
and visit New York, more honor could scarcely have
been conferred upon him. But, how could We ex-
pect anything better Of a people who would
exalt the old traitor and murderer Brown above
our Savior?
