WHIPPED AND SENT OFF.-J. R. Yer
ton, a man of suspicious character, was ta-
ken up in this district and lodged in Jail to
await his trial, which was to take place on
Tuesday. He has been associating with
the negroes of this district for some time
back, and has been heard to use language,
when conversiug with them, of such a
nature as to justify the belief that he was
an abolitionist His trial came off on Tues,
day last, and from the evidence given, and
the letters found in his possession, all suspi.
cious we're fully substantiated. He has Ell.
ther been sent off, or ran of, of his own &C.
cord, from North Carolina, to escape the
sentence Of the law in that State.
He was tried in the Court House by a
Jury of twelve men, and the sentence was,
that he should get fifty lashes on the bare
back, his head shaved on one side, apd one
side of his face BACKED, and that he be
sent back by Adams Express to North Car
olina, where he could receive such punish
meut as his misconduct in that State nigh:
merit.
1t was stated among other things, that
he told the negroes they ought to burn the
town of Chester The sentence was mild
enough considering the circumstances ofthe
case. He was whipped and sent off yester'
day.-Chester Standard, 18th instant.

POSITION OF PHILADELPHIA REPUBLI-
Republican Central Club Of
Philadelphia held meeting on Saturday
evening. A series of resolutions, offered
by committee appointed at previous
meeting, was brought forward, but after a
very lengthy debate they were referred
back to the committee, with instructions
that they be made "stronger in republican
sentiments" The resolutions merely re-
iterated devotion to the Chicago platform,
but without expressing very decided de-
termination to stand by the results Of the
republican triumph. The debate took a
wide range. A number Of the speakers
were unequivocally in favor Of peaceable
secession, others as strenuously opposed to
it. The president desired it to be under
stood, that while he was not disunionist,
he was in favor Of allowing South Carolina
or any other State to go out of the Union
whenever she felt the laws too oppressive.
If he were member of Congress, be would
introduce an amendment to the Constitu.
ton, by which any State could go out Of
the Union whenever she deems the Fede'
raj Government oppressive. Johr M. Ken
uedy spoke in admiration Of Senator Hale's
late violent speech, aud nearly all opposed
any concession to the South.

The SHOE TRADE-The Boston Tray.

"Our Natick correspondent writes that
business was never known to be so dublin
that town as now. Two of the shoe manu-
facturers have recently failed whose liabili,
ties together are estimated at about $l26,-
600. The remaining manufactures are be-
lieved to be on a firm foundation, but they
are doing but very little business. Two or
three hundred shoemakers are thrown out
Of employment, and the prospect is that
they will experience very severe winter"
The following is from our Haverhilf cor.

"The shoe interest is entirely fat here.
with no prospect of Improvement for some
time to come. A large number Of r,echan-
les are out of employment, while those who
are at work receive only q small compensa.

DEBTS DUE BIZ THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH.
There exists appreheusions in some quar-
ters that in the event of dissolution of
the Confederacy, the debts due by South
ern merchants and citizens to Northern
houses will be in some manner lost and not
paid.
We presume that there is as much indi-
viduaI honesty and commercial integrity
among Southern merchants and citizens as
amoug any other people and any acts OF
dishonesty will meet with the same con-
demnation at the South that they merit and
receive among honest people everywhere.
While the merchants AMI manufacturers
of the North have in many instances been
shamefully derelict in their duty to the
South and to the Union, yet dishonorable
conduct will never be made the pretext by
honest Southern merchants for an avoid
auce of a just obligation to pay an honest
debt. "Goods, wares, and merchandise" "
purchased at the North, will be honestly
paid for, whether the Union be preserved,
or dissolved, unless the North vacates the
obligation to pay by making war upon the
South.
The law of nations has no better estab.
lished principle than that state of war
vacates all debts, claims and contracts ex-
istiug between the subjects and citizens of
the nations at war. The payment of debts
due from the South to the North will de-
pend solely upon the North. If that Sec
tion appeals to war, to coercion, and seeks,
not to maintain, but to avenge the Union,
then it will become the duty of every citi,
zen of the South to seek for all means to
infict injury Of every kind upon each and
all of the citizens of the North. The ef-
forts of coercion, followed by war, can only
prevent the North from receiving their just
debts. The people Of the South are able
to pay, and will pay. Commercial revul'
