THE EFFECT OF THE ANTI-sLAvERY CRU
SADIE ON PROPERTY AND COMMERCE
AT THE NORTH.
@Tle effect Of the snti slavery crusade of the
last twenty five years, which is now reaching
It's eliminating point, will be to ruin the proper.
~ and commerce Of the North. Already the
work is begun. The correspondence of our
specinl reporter in Norll, Carolina, which we
published on Saturday last, demonstrates the
fact. lie says Massaclusetts alone sends 81
200 600 worth Of shoeGinto that State annually
but that the probability is even If there should
be no secession and no blows. not half that
amount vii be taken next year, and the demund
for other articles will diminish in the same ratio
whether there be disunion or not The truth is
that the Southern States are now put upon their
mettle, and their pride will not permit them to
Erecede. even il itiysrs for their advantage
1t is like throwing the British taxed tea into
Boston hnrbor at the time Of the first revolu-
tion; and the universal understanding which
there was TO drink none Of that beverage, rather
than receive it from England. The Same patri
otto sentiments prompted our Revolutionary
fathers to rejoice in the plainest garb made OF
honespun, rather than wear the cosllicst and
finest raiment of English manufacture. The

The South regards New England. at this mo.

England regarded Old England. about the year

enemy and oppressor, md it is determined Ia
fight it first in war of raie and commerce,
and afterwards, If necessary. with gunpOwd-r
the rifle, tho bayonet and cannon. Old Eng
land, with her vast resources, did not friuhten
the Colonies, nor can the fanatics of the North
with their boast of eighteen millions of INVADERS

New England will feel the effects Of her folly

also reap the bitter fruits of the Injustice TO the

republics have fallen by their folly and tIei
crimes. Let not the Northern States be too con
