snd shows conclusively, that the irritating
ana eSasperating course of the North now
IN reference to the South is exactly similar
10 the faulty OF George the Third and Lord
North, who drove the original colonies into
seTolasion. Then England did all the carry
ing trade, all the manufacturing and all the
commerce and business OF the colonies, and
as q consequences she grew rich fast, while
The colonies either remained stationary or
accumulated capital very slowly. The rev
olutian and separation from the mother
country threw the carrying trade, commerce
and business into the lap of the Northern
States, which now occupy the same position
~ taa South and West,that England former
ly did 10 the Colonies. The North are sim

kess, carriers, &C., of the South, and actual

cotton crop than the South itself. We sell
TO the South about $l50,000,000 worth of
Northern manufactures. This money is used
the idle, and in effect gives the great market
for produce which the grsn growing States
OF the West enjoy in. the East.
Now, in order to deprive ourselves of all
these advantages, party at the North is en-
gagged in trying to drive the South to manu-
fscture for itself. 1t tells her that she is in
capable of doing so, that she is weak and
Powerless, that she dare not resist the domi-

the same language as that of Lord North"
Already the attacks Of the North upon the
