the niger well, but their country Among this
class you will hnd some merchants, a few bank

and invites the inccndiary and tho assassin TO visit their
own homes They reason senshy, perhaps but it s un-
questopaby the reasoning Of common sense.
The condition Of the trade Of Boston with the South
rather anomalous. To illustrate: OF the lcaiing
merchants have been for years endeavoring To get up
line of steamshps between Boston and the Southern
ports Those who have attended their meetings for such
purposes know that there lack of the spirit Of enter
prise. Politics do not 10 any extent II at ALL enter into
the considerations pro The only question Is, will
pay9 Settle that point, and the thing accomplished.
Thue Is that two iron steamships in the course
Of construction for the line between Boston and
Charleston, c. having been satisfactorily ascertained
that the line between here and Baltimore pays prince,
and that the figures look smilnsy for similar return
from the outlay the line TO the Palmetto State Your
especial hears the authority the process Of
the construction Of those steamers has not becn retarded
interrupted by the existing alarming state Of public
affairs The enterprise promises to pay and hence there

nes at once hopeful and full OF promises and cash have
been held in the proceedings Of which Of sound
est merchants have participated in regard 10 the estab
lshment Of line Of steamers between Boston aud New
Orleans. Political events may cast shadow this
movement at this time for wehear that the operations,
thus are not acondon for public developement but
prove that will "pay," and all the instructions in the
world will not prevent Boston merchants from investing
their capital IN the enterprise, and seeing that is put
through in thorough style. Fortunate perhaps that
most Of the leading Boston merchants national their
ideas; but with all their nationaism there good
son to doubt their entering into unpromsng specula
ton, whether be the establishment Of line OF steam
ers to the Crescent City the opening Of gravel trade
These matters being in operation for the purpose OF
largng commerce with the South, Of increasing
our relations with Southern prunea, let us look at the
other sde-that which completes the anomaly In the
trade Of Boston and the South It Is fact that the agents
Of some Of our leading houses have returned from the
South without their usual orders also that
who do not send agents abroad to solicit receive
orders have list Of Southern customers this time like
unto the proportion Of Fastads bread 10 sack far
thermore fact that our shOemakers-and you know
that every eighth being in Massachusetts, is shoemaker
