ments of the North and East, when the
thing can be done, and pass their names
around, so that every dealer may know the
nfanetics" from the Representatives" and
regulate his purchases accordingly. Though
our own idea On the subject s,there are very
few conservatives among the Northern peo-
Pile; unless the term conservative" is ad-
mitted to imply party who is made aware
OF deed oil treason, arson or murder, by
being cognizant of all the preparations for
i;s committal, and is suffered, from some
strange defects in the laws that govern, to
60 "Scott Free" instead of being held as an
accessory before the fact. For it is strange,
that amidst all the preparations necessary
for carrying out John Browns foray into
Virginia, not one of these conservatives"
was found to come forward and give us q
warning of the danger in store for U.s.
Though since that event has failed. it has
produced thousands of CONSERVATIVES" in
the very hotbeds of abolitionism, who are
now ranting, vehement friends of slgvery.--
Was this caused from the bad odor attached
to the failure, or is it the desire to indulge
little longer in Southern patronage? The
latter, we suspect.
Among the characters worthy OF a gratn-
itous advertisement in the columns of every
Southern journal, are several individuals
whose names will be found below, and who
are reckoned among the black-hearted abo-
elitionists Of Lynn, Mass, where most of the
ladies' shoes that Good the Southern country
come from. The following extract from
Correspondent of the New York Herald, /,
writing from that place, will give our read
ers some idea how matters are managed
with the Soathernsrs' money in that place.
Those names italicis, d are firms that have
heretofore supplied the Norfolk market
with shoes principally, as we learn from an
intelligent shoe dealer in this city:
s'The principal businests OF Lynn is the
manufacture of ladies shoes, and not boots,
as some erroneously suppose; the latter being
the principal business of Weymouth, Ran
dolph and other towns. The shoe trade of
Lynn last year amounted to seven millions
of dollars, principally with the Southern
States. One would suppose, therefore, that
under the circumstances, those deriving the
principal part of this enormous sum would
at least be conservative in the exciting po-
litical questions of the day. But mot SO;
without the least possible motive or desire
to exaggerate or ,misrepresent the present
state OF things, confidently state, deriving
nv information from undoubted authority,
that the principal movers in the exciting
meeting in this place on the subject OF the
John Brown raid were those most largely
indebted to the South for their daily bread.
Asan instance of the extent to which some
OF these crazy individuals have manifested
their bitter sectional spirit, will state that
on the day John Brown was hanged, Harri-
son Newhall, one of the richest and most ex-
tensive shoe manufacturers, and whose trade
is exclusively with the South, toled the bell
OF the First Methodist church nearly the en-.
tire day. 1t would be unjust to individual
ize this case, and will mention the names
of his conabsrateurs, all shoe manufacturers,
who rally around and support the actions OF
this man, viz N Il Waldron, Isaac Neao-
hall, Jr. d Co., Bancroft d burlington, J q
Vennard, Paul NsrhaU d Sons, Butfum l.

sonian. There are others in the shoe trade
equally as culpable in this traitoreus work,
but merely send you the names of the
chief agitators OF the 'nigger" question"
