PNLITICA I'm TRADE.

To expect sense, conference, consistency, ration
atty, of those who are Systematically, persstenty
inaamng and misleading the public mind of the
Slave States with respect to the intent and animu
Of the Republicans, would be vain yet there Is one
point on which their doctrines and acts would seem
too glarngy at odds to escape even their own crit
icism. We allade to the cant of British influence
and Interference Tens of Thousands of moderately
intelligent people have been dinned and drummed
into actually believing that British intrigue and
Brit sh money are the main impeling forces Of all
Anti Slavery feeling and effort In this country; and
there are persons who can read who actually be.
lisYe that British aristocracy, British maeyoence,
are constantly melting Abolition crusades and In
tnsifying Abolition sentiments throughout the
Free States with deliberate intent to break up the
Union and reduce this confederate Republic to
chaos of wreck and ruin. Preposterous as this
hypothesis is, it has to-day honest and staunch adj
heIents, especially in the South.
Well: when the demagogues who fan the ember
of sectional and national hatred come TO transfuse
feelings into acts, do they expect their dupes to
punish the British for this unwarranted and maign
interference in our domestic concerns by withdraw
ing their patronage from British looms and work.

constantly represent as the root Of the evil they 50

broils, they propose to punish therefor not those
whom they stigmatze as the c0ntriyers Of the mis-
chief, but those who are in part the dupes of British
Vaccinations and in part the most determined foes
to all s. sectional agitation" Even Gov. Wise, in
welcoming back to the maternal South her juvenile
Sawbones escaped from the Abolition tainted
atmosphere of Philadelphia, while he proposed to
fog the AboEtionists, the Canadians, and the
British, never once suggested or countenanced the
idea of cessation or curtaiment of the trade Of
the injured South with the great fomenter and fos-
terer Of Abolition. On the contrary, we feel NOR
ally certain that he made that heroic, mirth-pro-
yoking speech in coat of British cloth, and that

How are we to understand the Fne-Eaters
If they cannot stomach the productions of New
York and New England, because they are produced
or sold in part by Republicans how is it that they
patronize instead thOse Of Britain, whose people
are ayowed and practical Abolitionists' Why 90

Let no one fancy that we are seeking to pacate
the wrathful Chivary and induce them to return to
the marble palaces whose counters they have so In
dignantly deserted We believe in Home Industry,
and hail with delight every effort of the Chl7alry to
manufacture for Themselves. Why should not Vir"
pinia make her own rifles, axes, cloths, wares,
pianos brocms, pals, buttons, gimlets, &c., &c.
We believe she should, and would fam stimulate
her TO encourage her own. Let her fabricate for
Lenelf so far as possible and thus lay broad and
deep the foundations Of genuine and durable in
dependence. But refusing to buy of New-York
and buying instead Of Old England from hatred Of
Abolition SEEMS too absurd even for Wise.
