to large majority Of that people. The
Northern democracy will be unit 10
resisting this aggression, and ere the
present year draws to close, the wor''
will have an illustration, that this Union
shall be preserved in despite Of the IN
s;d;ous Vaccinations Of vain boas'iug
and reckless party.
The contemplate subterfuges used by
the Republican AboIitionists to deceive
the people Of the South into the belief
that no interference with their rights 10
meditated, are worthy Of the party which
resorts to them. A party having but
single purpose, and that the subver-
sien Of the institutions Of the South, cam
not conceal the sole object of its organ
ization. The country has the illustra-
ton of the main intent in the acts Of
the instruments OF this party, in the
completely Of its leading members, in
the expressed sympathy for the foiled
agents in the prosecution Of its work,
and in a multitude of developments Of
its wicked designs. 1t cannot be that a
majority of the people Of this Union
will endure a fragrant violation of the
solemn obligations which the trainers Of
our glorious Constitution assumed
Those obligations were faithful adher-
cnce to the compromises Of the instru-
ment which bears the impress Of their
towering intellects and pure patriotism.
When Northern fanatcism prevails,
then will these stipulations be ignored,
and the magnificent temple erected by
the men of the Revolution will topple
upon the heads of their foolish children.
ssA Little Previous..BefOre."
Never did trout in crystal brook
gushing from the mountain side jump at
artificial bait more eagerly, than did
some OF the Abolition papers in this
ne ghborhood, the Gazette among the
number, seize hold of the dispatch con-
veying the information that Sherman
had been elected Speaker. Our neigh
Dor, almost overcome with JOY, exclaims,
''the Republicans of the House have
done their duty" Alas! the evanes-
cncc of earthly bliss. "The fats in the
fire." and Sherman's reported election
is ho-ar. He may yet be elected, but
our neighbor must await the result in
patience and prayer. If it should so
happen that Sherman be not elected, the
Republicans Of the House, when read
ing the premature approval of their
Abolition friend vino edits the Gazette,
may we'll exclaim:
"The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is often inferred with their bones"
Effects of the Non.lntercourse Nov e.
ment.
The effects OF the non intercourse
measures recently adopted or initiated
by Virginia, and to certain extent BY
some other southern states, though not
yet apparent to the northern community
at large, are nevertheless already felt by
many Of our merchants, mechanics, and
manufacturers. We have heard of fire.
quent complaints of the diminution o!
southern orders, not so much in this
city, perhaps, as in New England-the
abatement in some cases being severely
felt. Like instances have come under
our personal knowledge. 1t would be
neither proper no- prudent to specify
cases of this sort, and indeed, since d.
verse causes contribute to stagnation
in trade, it mi ght be denied that the de-
preston was in any manner attributable
to the action of the south; yet, if indi-
vidual testimony is worth anything, or
the statements Of the press be true, the
facts are as stated. The relations of bu-
siness are considerably disturbed south
ern orders have been countermanded or
discontinued agents of northern houses
find little encouragement at the south,
and very many have returned work men
have been discharged from some estab-
lishments for lack of work to do. Some
descriptions of business have suffered
more than others, especially the clothing,
shoe, carriage and jcwelry manufacture.
The voice from the south is, I'VE wish no
more northern goods,' and great effort
is being made there to do without them.
Whether discrimination in withdrawing
orders is invariably made to apply to
Abolition and Republican firms, we are
unable to say ; though it is the prolessed
design, we believe, Of the non-nter-
course movers, to affect only such, and
to continue their business relations with
conservative men as heretofore, except
when goods can be bought at equal or
better advantage at the south. Howev-
er this may be, and aside from the de-
engagements Of business resulting from
the present attitude of the south, the ex-
listing feeling of sectional bitterness can
not be too deeply deplored, nor the
causes that have contributed to it, too
severely reprehended.
We have thus briefly alluded to the
ctfects OF the non intercourse movement
as they are manifest here. At the south
it has stimulated, to an unprecedented
degree, determination to encourage, by
all means possible, a self-sustaininr noli-
