The south on the Publications of liarpci
& Brother.

1t is extremely gratifying to know that the
publications issued from this Black Republican.
Abolition establishment are fast losing their
circulation in the South. Packages alter pack
ages are being returned, and VIC trust that
Southern people will cease entirely to read theln.
The last number OF their Weekly Is as violent
an Abolition production as ever came from the
office of C:arrison's Iibcrator. The house OF
Harper has grown rich upon Southern patronage
and support, and the return has been, that out OF
their colossal fortunes thousands have been sub
scribcd and freely given for the maintenance OF
the infamous principles, the carrying out OF
which has caused the existing state OF affairs.
The HarperS have ever been bitter enemies oil
the south and her institutions. Their piracies
of the works of foreign authors, and the cheap
publication of them in New York, and the i'm
mcnse orders from the Southern States have
made them one of the richest establishments IN
the country. We must not give ''aid and com
fort'' To our enemies in any conceivable shape or
form Columbus (Ga.) Times
We endorse every word of the above; but, III
the name OF common justice, we protest against
discrimination against Harper'S publications
There is a host of perniciouS Northern issues
flooding the Southern country every whit As bad,
and some of them actually worse than Harper :
Weekly or Monthly. We insist that the entire
batch of such papers rs the New York Mercury,
New York Weekly, Frank Leslic's Newspaper
New York Leader, II III cmne genus, should be
included among those not ID be tolerated ut the
South We know of but three literary pnbca-
tions north of Mason and Dixon's line which are
worthy of support from the south; these are tie
Home Journal and knick erbocher Magazine, OF
New y ork, and Godcy's Lady's Book, of Phila
de,phia. Neither of these has ever nsulted
Southern rea lcrs, or reflected in the slightest
degree on our Institutions, and we take pleasure
in bearing testimony in their favor
