Trade Betw cen the North, and seuth-
An Anti-slevevy Jeuxual Condemned
Out or iss Own MsutAs
The anti.slavery Times Of this city exercised
itself yesterday very warmly shout the condi-
ton Of trade, North and South, denouncing
the HERAID's assertions upon the subject as
"pure and wilfal fabrications,' " incendiary
proceedings and other such stuff; but 1t hap
pens that the statement Of the antisiavery
organ with reference to what the HERALD really
said IL squire and wilful fabrication" in it.
SELF We did not say, for example, that our
ships were rotting at their wharves, nor that
our hstels were empty, nor that eur Southern
steamers are unemployed. What we said was,
that the Southern trade with the North was be-
ginning to be affected by the existing political
sectional agitation; that the signs Of the
times foreshadowed the commencement of .
commercial revulsion, occurring from the same
cause; that Southern merchants would hesitate
about making purchases in the North; that bu-
siness agents Of Northern houses were being
expelled from Southern cities, and that great
portion of the trade of this and other North
ern cities would be damaged by the abolition
fanaticism of the republican leaders, preachers
and agitators, in Congress and throughout the
country, who sympathize with Browns foray
upon a Southern State and endorse Helpers
plan for melting slave insurrection.
And how does the Times go about refuting
thcse statements, which are patent to every
oncs 1t prints lengthy report of the condi-
ton of the dry goods trade (Which we reprint
in another column based upon statements
made by syndry firms in this city, some of whom
we observe are notorious for their anti-slavery
opinions and their faith in the doctrine that
slavery is a crime and sin.
In this very report, the leading facts, as
stated by us, are confirmed. 1t is admitted, in
the FIRST place, that the Southern planters
who feel sensitive on the slavery question-and
what Southern planter does nots-would in
duce their protfg<s to purchase goods in the
South, and not in the North. 1t admits that as
many goods will not be sent to the South this
year as usual. 1t confesses that Southern
clothiers will get their work done at home,
greatly to the disadvantage Of the dealers in
ready made clotbing-a immense and profit
able business in New York and other Northern
cities. 1t confesses, further, that many houses
here which ore in bad odor at the South, on &C.
count of their abolition doctrines, will lose much
of their Southern custom In the present crisis,
and 1t predicts that unless the public excite
ment on the slavery question is speedily al
Iayed the Southern trade must suffer. One
firm quoted by the Times alleges that one oil
its business agents was compelled to leave the
town Of Columbus, Georgia, and member Of
the same firm states that - had heard of seve-
raj Southern merchants new stopping at the
st. Nicholas Hotel, with view to buy goods iu
this city, who neglected to register their names,
or registered false ones lest the fact that they
intended to purchase goods in New York
should be known at the South.
Here are all the substantial allegations of
the HERALD confirmed; and thus out of its own
mouth is the anti-slavery Times condemned.
We have very little respect for the discernment
in the Times report, and not see in them
abundant evidence foreshadowing CONNER
cial rcvulsion If the present political agitation
is not put an end to.
Onslaught OF tho Corrupt Regency Fac
tion Upon Mr.. Charles O'Cenor.
We had occasion, few days since, to call
attention TO The threat of the Confidence CASH
dy, Cagger 4 Co. Regency, at Albany, that, if
the bogus Syracuse delegation Of the barn
burner faction were not admitted to the
Charleston Convention, they would bolt over
to Seward and help to elect black republi-
can President. 1t is daily becoming more evil
dent that this rascally programme has been
seriously adopted by the tail of the ls4s re- E.
gades. 1t is nearly beyond doubt that they
intend re-enacting the Van Buren, treason of
