Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1861-03-30

We have warmly loved this thriving young
city Of the South from patriotic sentiments,
from sn opinion that its thrift would be re-
| Elected 10 north Mississippi, and especially
because we have many personal friends there.
We ardently hope that Memphis may be lden-
tilted IL interest with %, or at least that our
/ iutarest NAV be reciprOcal; but there Is reason
TO apprehend that Il may not be 30. Let not
/ the Inhabitants Of that city be deceived. They
are told By the Buletin In a tone Of gre u con-
6dsnce thar Memphis will lose no trade by
Tennessee and Mississippi being politically
seyered-that people will trade where they can
sell and buy to the best advantage. This we
must admit is true a. a general proposition
Int there will be numerous exceptions which
viii deeply effect the prosperity Of Memphis.
MANY exceptions now exist 20 our knowledge,
and ihev are increasing. But has the partisan
f~eslinga Of the editor Of the BallekS blinded
him TO the fact that the Confederate STAKES will
form a nationality distinct from the United
states, and will, from necessity, impose duties
upon merchandise passing 70 and IRON len
nesses and Mississippi? Suppose ths two
states become permanently severed, even II
not pertaining seyerally to hostile eonfedera-
1 cias, still IL the Confederate States tax mer-
chandise coming from Memphis and cotton
goine there. as will be their interest and policy
10 do, then according to the very law Of trade
which the BullettR Paradss 80 eompsSeent-
", Mlsslsslppisns will find It to their in-
terest to prefer another emporium, and that
one, even nova successful competitor.
sueh articles as appear daily in the BBlietis
from the pen ot-the editor and correspondents,
misfepressnting and slandering Mississippi
and other Southern States, and aiming to bring
our people into disrepute, are rousing in the
minds Of many among US those feelings which
rise above the computation OF dollars and
cents In trade. It is unfortunate Just now
that the editor and bis correspondents ignore
the higher and nobler sentiments which will
rise to the sscendent in "tiDes that try mems
souls" Such language as the editor oecas-
ionally uses about the %"cotton ochracy" and
"oligarchs" OF the South, be should be aware
are wholly unbecoming. He makes war upon
the States which have a common cause With
Tennessee, and picks up and hurls at US the
exhausted darts which the abolitionists have
sped against tue South. The columns Of the
Bulletin TEEN with abuse of every movement
In the States South OF Tennessee, and the edi-
tor can find no room to expose the plans, and
the operation Of the sbolitionists to degrade
and ~enslsve US.
In a late number of the BHlielis a writer
over the name Of Tennessee utters ssnti.
ments basely false and libellous against the
South; and in substance and effect as strongly
supports the abolition cause as any pretended
facts or arguments that could be uttered in the
present 5 ate Of the controversy. Mississippi
has taken her stand without the "Union,' - and
the columns OF the BGlletfH, filled with aboli-
tion arguments and abuse, and misrepresenta-
tons OF the South, will we trust, help to keep
her steady In LOYALTY to the Confederate States.
