NGaor to tho Merchants.

4 few months ago, says the New
York World, it was the fashion to taunt
cur merchants with timorousness, with
so much regard for Southern buyers,
that they had no room left for the con-
siieration Of Northern rights. How
does the event justify these sinister
charges? The entire commercial COM
muni.y has upriscn as one man, and ex-
hihited 4 spirit Of patriotism without
parallel i'll the history of the world. It
is estimated that the amount Of money
spontaneously offered in one way and
another by the citizens Of New York in
support of the government, exceeds two
hundred and ninety millions Of dol
lars And the Miserable fifteen mil
lion loan Of the Montgomery govern
ment, hardly sufficient to supply the
Southern forces with whisky and tobac-
co for month, has gone begging like
a mendicant in every market Of the
South. All honor to our noble mer-
chants. Next to the gallant fellows to
whom, with hushed and ove1laden
hearts we have just hidden adieu, and
God speed, we honor those who have
come up 10 the sacred alter OF liberty
and poured out their tribute, as they
stand ready to pour out their blood.

you will be false and unworthy Of your
