What a devil Of giant Wendell
Phillips is! He threatens TO "taks
the Stateof Mississippi by the nape o.
its neck, and shake every decrepid
white mau out Of it, and give it into
the hands of the slave that now tills
it, and make America to represent
the ideal to which our fathers conse.
Grated it." Edmund Quincy is
''some pumpkins" too-he hopes "to
live to see the time,--and that, too,
without living to be an oetogenarian,
like bis fatber,-when, If United
States Judge dares to discbey the law
of Massachusetts, be will be taken
from the bench and set to honest
work in the peuitentiary, and the
United States defed to take him out. !"

The North and Southern Trade.

.
The New York correspondent Of
the Charleston Mercury, in his letter
january 9Th, rites as below. There
can be no aout that Northern trades
men are beginning to feel the react
ing consequences of the Abolition
aggressious up,n the south. The
correspondent ays:
Our merchant are making ener-
|gctic efforts to ncover lost Southern
trade. One buissss firm, as YOU
may have seen b.the New York Err
press, have proculal a special edition
OF that paper, combining an account
of the great Unia meeting. which
they are sending t,aall their custom
ers and friends j, the Southern
States. Other drygoods dealers are
getting out, in a handsome book
form, report of the. same meeting,
which they will dispose of in the
same way. Some manufacturers OF
domestic goods, whose maio market
is South, are stamping their fabrics
with symbols of claspd hands. the
Union and Constitution The Union
forever and other natDnal devices,
which 1t is hoped, will recommend
them to Southern buyers. Many
firms have been reconstructed this
year, for the purpose of letting out
tainted" members, and presenting
an undivided conservative front. In
some Of our leading Cry goods hou.
ses, the fabrics designed especially
for Scatbern trade are piled up noun
tain high, and getting dusty and rot
ten for want of purchasers. Bot the
heaviest sufferers are the Connecticut
Yankees, who make long h,es aud
other agricultural implements ex-
pressly for the plantations. These
people are beginning to Learn by a
little experience, that cotton, which
they have been so long derlding.
while their very existence depended
upon it, is "King," after all.

The Commercial Aspect

OF the present chickering's between
the Northern and Southern States
Is looked to with a good deal Of
interest in both quarters. A New
York correspondent Of the Charles
ton Mercury, in his letter Of Jan. %,
writes that great distress" prevails
in the former city in consequence of
the partial withdrawal of the South
ern trade. lie says that it is felt
not only by all the houses which have
heretofore done their main business
with the South, but by, all the ira
ding interests Of the city, to great
er or less extent. The manufactu-
ring jewellers are said to have been
greater losers. Their principal trade
is with the South and theif losses are
estimated in hundreds of thousands Of
dollars. The writer says
at is agreed on all hands, that
unless the entente cordiale is restored
between the North and South with
in the next three months, the result
will be most disastrous to all branches
of domestic commerce and manufac-
turers throughout the North.
As far as the jewelry and gimcrack
business is concerned. We are happy
to believe that the South gains all
that the North loses by the operation.
The Charleston papers announce
with satisfaction the receipt of 900
bales of hay from Europe, and the
Courier says that if twill test the
question whether we can do without
the Northern article" We think
the South would do much better to
test the question mot only as re.
CARDS hay, but many other commod.
ties, by home industry, rather than
the impoverishing process of impor-
tation.
