South Is without Northern Journal but tho people
North receive all their information about the South from
Northern and not from southern newspapers The South
has plenty OF provisions and cotton has brought good
price all winter. Georgia can raise all cereals, but don't

AN APPEAL. TO THE NORTH
sfTruth' sends long appeal TO the people Of the
Northern States "Truth asks If political leaders shall
be allowed nane the MINDS Of the people OF both
sections Of country that dsunion shall ensue, AMI
America be made byword and rcproach. Let the
false public servants, ready TO sacrifice thing for
place aud power, be thrust aside ana let the people
manage this matter for themselves. The principal
OF the trouble Is the question OF slavery. To
the people Of the North this question ia an alb
straction to be discussed phosophicaly. To the
