DTREcT TRADE WITH BELsTUM.-A con-
munIcation, Of which the following is a copy,
was read in council last night;
We, the undersigned, your petit oners In
consequence Of the rapid increase % southern
trade, and being DESTROYS % top Of the ono
Gus system Of indirec. taxation that has here
tofore subjected Us, through our commercial
necessities, to the exactions Of our northern
and eastern merchants also feeling that the
most feasible method to advance TIE interests
Of southern commerce, is DIV direct trade with
Europe, thus bringing the producer and con-
sumer in direct Communication we earnestly

Douglas have shown to the world strength
OF spinal column strength derived from
(" Constitution inviolatc, Union preserv-
ed, and the lava freeman's palladium
respected. The taunts Of doughface and
slaveocrat are no longer heard. We are
lighting this battle upon great living prin-
c'ple, and though we have traitors in the
camp, VIC have the true, the thinking, and
the conservative men Of the nation with US,
ard we shall triumph by their aid.
The fight is oil along the line. We are
fighting the foes Of the Constitution in the
North ard the South. In the South. tho
'ohn Brown foray has distempercd the 20
h'ical sentiments Of the people; but still
they know their safety is in, and not out, of
the Union, and the cheering news from the
South, gives hope to every friend Of Doug.
las. They will not support the seccders'
ticket for thereby they will elect Lincoln,
and they are flocking to the standard Of
Douglas and the Union.
In the North, the enthusiasm for Mr..
Douglas is intense. New York, the En-
pire State, is sure for him, and old Pennsyl-
vania, the Keystone Of the arch, is nearly
IS certain. The few squads of office hold
ers in the North, and few hired Hcssians
opposing him, only add to the number and
influence Of his friends. The prescriptions
Of Douglas by the Administration, increase
his chances, for by losing its corrupt sup
port, he gains positive strength.
In the West, the home Of orr gallant
standard bearer, the greatest enthusiasm
prevails. lie has 81; wn up among US. His
early struggles, with poverty-a day laborer
w'th";ut position-he has become leader,
with the devoted affections of thousands
In vain does the President veto the Home
stead Bill to defeat him the shallow trick
is too apparent. The President retains the
bill until Mr.. Douglas is nominated, then
vetoes it, and by covering himself with dis
grace he hopes TO injure Mr.. Douglas. He
cannot do it. A life devoted to the West,
extending through long years Of service,
cannot be destroyed by an enemy, unless
that enemy assumes the disguise Of a friend.
We should thank God that Mr.. Buchanan
opposes Mr.. Douglas. Mr.. Breckenridge is
cursed by his friendship, and it would damn
with oblivion greater man than he is, al
though Mr.. Breckinridyn is highly esteemed
for his many virtues.
