Adceriser, of last Saturday. thus dscourses on this
subject:
We have noticed in our cotemporaries of Missis
slppl several articles aimed at the trade of Mon,

dai policy? Memphis and Tennessee had the same
right to choose their positions as had anv State in
the old Union; and for US, of Mississippi to threat
en- them with coercion is in bad taste while we are
making so much capital out of the catch-word CO.
erclon. Let the war be waged, and hat does it
accomplish? We are bound to trade with Mem.
phis, and indeed with the entire State, so Ionp as
It Is to our interest. just long as we can
puy cheap negroes, mules, bacon, or dry
goous ana groceries from Tennessee lust so long
we VIII puy, and no law nor manufactured public
opinion can stay the natural current of the laws of
