THE PIrTsBURG TRADE IN NEW ORLEANS.
- The New Orleans Balatn having read in an exchange
that the republican ticket was elected in liIsburg, thus
,onments-
Upon reading the above item yesterday. Il occurred 10
us that We had seen good many articles lying the
banquettes in front Of numerous stores in New Or
leans labelled Ptsburg and concluded for the curiosity
Of the thing 20 take stroll about town, keeping an
eye out FOR Pisborg. Well, we found that Plttsbu-g
spreads herself IN New Orleans very extensively. Pits
burg coal is in amo. every CRATE ana observe Pits
burg pows, P1sburg harrows Ptttsburg stoves, Pitts
burg engines and lTtsburg, Psburg Pttsburg stared
US In the face wherever went Back we came and
read" The republicans have elected their candidates BY
large majories in pttsburg" II ssuck VS. tina; there
something incongruous between the P,sburg
featured articles and the products OF the hs about
burg and this news item. Pttsburg, We thought, has
very direct connection With New orleans and slavery
Will some republicans up the black cityblacs by
and iron, mean-prove 10 ne that Pttsburg IS sup
ported by slave labor through the products TO which
alude in just as direct and positive manner, though
perhaps not to the same cx:ent as New Orleans u.s.
