COMMERCIAL PRoscnP1IoS. - The
Charleston Mercury denounces the mer'
chants of that city who maintain business
relations with Cliffin, Mellen d Co., o.

The BLESSING OF SLAvERY.-The At
lanta Confederacy says: 1--WE regard
every man in our midst an enemy to the
institutions Of the South who does not
boldly declare that he or she believes At
rican slavery to be social, moral, and
political blessing. Any person holding
other than these sentiments, whether born
at the South or North, is unsound, and
should be requested to leave the coun-

HARrER's MAGAzISE AND WEEKLY PRo.
sCRIBED.-The North Carolinian Of Fay,
etteville, N. c., says: ea
1--WE notice these periodicals upon ouI
streets as numerous as ever, after it is as
certained that G.. W. Curtis, one OF the
editors, is an infamous Abolitionist, and
that one Of the Harpers has given large
sum of money to the Brown sympathi-
zers. Should these papers be allowed to
circulate so profuSely in orr midst ? We
notice that his Honor Judge Saunders
put stop to the sale of these papers in
Raleigh. We would like to know why
are they not stopped here. Are we to
see these Abolition sheets upon our street,
without word of rebuke 1t lies with
the proper officers to see Immediately
that these papers are put stop to. We
would also appeal to the readers of these
papers, and ask them is their course con-
sistent with their professions of loyalty
to their homes, and opposition to the IA
natics of the the North =? All gentle
men, acts speak louder than words"
ANOTHER MECHANIC DRIVEN FROM
NORTH CARoLINA.-A year ago last May,
Mr.. Perly Seaver, of Oxford, Mass. who
has formerly worked for w. A Wheeler,
Samuel Flagg, and others of this city,
and P. B. Tyler, of Springfield, went to
NORTH Carolina, to conduct steam
saw mill. He was good, quiet, relig-
ious man, always engaged in his work,
and not interfering in others business.
By his industry and economy he had
bought a house. and was snug y settled
there-as he thought for life.
As there was no preaching or other re-
ligious exercise in the place, Mr.. Seaver
was wont to call his neighbors together
on the Sabbath to read the Bible and
hear sermon. 1t was soon rumored in
the little village. although the rumor was
unknown to him, chat Seaver preached
Abolition sermons" and on Saturday
night, Christmas Eve. he was waited on
at little after o'clock-rather early on
Sunday morning that was-by a large
delegation of neighbors. At first he re-
fused them admittance, but as they gave
their names as some ofthe most respects-
bic persons in the neighborhood. and
threatened to break in the door, be struck
light, and admitted them.
They demanded his books and papers,
and he showed them. They then asked
for his private letters, and they ransaek-
ed all his correspondence with his family.
They then asked how many negroes had
ever attended his religious meetings. He
told them five. They told Mr.. Seaver
they did not consider him safe man to
live there, and he must leave. He offer
ed to 90 on Monday morning ifthey would
buy his property. This they refused, but
told him he might have twenty days to
sell out, but that during that time no ne
groes must be seen about his premises.
Mr.. Seaver found it impossible to sell
his property. and therefore came of with
in the twenty days with his wages. He
has now returned, forced away from his
property and his business-because he
read the Bible on Sundays. in a room
where negroes were sometimes present.
His employer is also from Oxford, and
has large and valuable property there
There are very strong rumors OF attempt
ing to drive him of. But having large
amount of Yankee pluck, he SAYS that be-
fore he is driven North, he shall either go
to Heaven or-elsswhere.- YsrresteT
