The following private note to us VIC take the lib
crty of inserting: 49,, ~. q .
DEAR SIR: address you to express, a hope that
q plan may be devised by the Convention to ,puta
stop to the horde of speculators who peramhulate
the country buying up produce ofeysry descsip-
tion at low prices which is afterwards held sand
sold at extortionatc prices that the great fear IT,
many thousands of people, during the ensuing win
ter, will be reduced to starvation. !, sr.sl3 ~,
Again: nothing can tend more to make the pre-
sent war unpopular with the masses than the .sx-
tortion which is being practiced ~ these Harpiss
upon the people at large. The cry is universal
against them, and for relief from their inhumsn
grindings of the poor and needy out Of the last
dime, to swell their bloated gains. a...lr rgh
l would respectfully suggest to the Convention
the adoption Of resolution or &C. licensing this
description Of traders as pedlars arc licensed only
much higher, and heavy penalty to be imposed N
they violate the law, to be collected by Sheritfs
and other officers For license for l2 months, for
each county, say $500; for violation $1,000, and
Imprisonment for one ycar.- one.fourth OF one-haf
the fine to 80 to the use Of the nformer. The ar.
ticles prohibited to be bought and sold by these
travelling gentry without license, to include bacon
lard beef pork butter poultry tallow. wheat flour,
corn, linsey, and all country homespun, &c. (, So
This, it occurs to me, would lay the axe to the
root of the tree, and extirpate brood more to be
dreaded than the vandal Yankees who care not a
straw whether. the South win or lose so they cal,
amass dollars, and that off the sufenngs and grind
ing necessities of the people. ar . ,3,isf
Irepeat, something must be done in that behalf
either by the Confederate or State Governments OF
thousands will starve, and the cause of the South
be rendered unpopular with hundreds of thousands
of its (present) warm friends. X .o sl- as, -
Respectfully, y.b .sr ~
