The Tnne Changiag--Will the
North Reflect!

Ne editor Of the South, secula
, or religious, could read the Republi
can papers Of the North before tb'
election and not feel justly iHdig
nans at the open riGicule and un
mitigatcd contempt thrust at the
South for laying claim to her "prop
Eerty" and the importance of hel
staples in the business affairs OF the
country. Mr.. Beecher compared the
North 10 a magnificent steamer on
her course With a. helpless boat
the South-iu tow, which she would
tow from sympathy, but was inde'
pendent of her and would be glad to
let her go. that the North might
make grt aier headway. The lnde-
pendent ridiculed tee South, saying
that all her Slave-owners put togeth,
er would not people the west side OF
Broadway, and thai the loss OF her
cotton crop would not ripple the sur,
face of Northern comm rcial pros
perity. n

Throughout the North, from Boston
to Nebraska City, bank bills have
declined from 5 to 20 per cent, and
every spp cies of value in the like
ratio. That Is net all. The papers
which have so uselessly goaded
the South, are now admitting tae
