MISREPRESENTATION OF THE
NORTH,

A Richmond correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald says that one would suppose, from list.
ening to the speeches in the Convention now
in session there, that the entire business Of
everybody at the North, high and low, rich and
poor old and young, was to devise ways and
means of destroying the institution Of slavery.
This correspondent holds that this view of the
condition of things at the North is incorrect
and absurd, but he adds:
81 can well understand how people whose
whole anxiety is bestowed upon one great and
absorbing interest can bring themselves to be.
lieve that there is no other or greater object of
interest anywhere else than that identical one
on which they fix all their thoughts Hence it
is, that in all the public speeches made here
the people of the North are represented as one
great political camp, having for its watchword,
'Catoae delenda est Carthago,' like that one
phrase of Mr.. Stewards, Slavery must be de-
stroycd, and you and l must do it, There is
no word dsrespectful enough to apply to the
people of the free States. The phrase most in
You hear that rung in endless changes, varied
with the terms, Yankees 'Yankeedom,
Northern hordes,' Northern abolitionists,
&c. 1t is a pity that this hostile feeling should
be allowed to take such deep root, through the
Misrepresentation of people who ought to know
better than to fan the flame of sectional discord
in such way and l think that the Herald
could checkmate all disuuionist politicians in
a very short time, by convincing the people Of
the South that, although there are abolitionists
North, Just as there are fre.eating flibusters
South, the masses of the people in both sec.
tions attend quietly to their own business, and
pay no attention to matters which don't concern
them"
Cnluckily, the N. Y. Herald, thus invoked
to disabuse the public mind of the South is
foremost among the Northern democratic Sheets
which have labored so long and so successfully
to poison it with misrepresentation of the pur-
poses of the people Of the free States. 1t is
only sheets of that political complexion which
are allowed to circulate at the South, and it is
from such sources that the mass of the citizens
of the South derive their notions of the Repub-
lican party. And what mischief is not accom-.
plished by the Herald and papers of that stamp,
is consummated by politicians such as Caleb
Gushing, who solemnly affirmed, a few months
ago, that the vast majority of the men of Mas.
sachusetts were animated by "hellish hat" "
of everything Southern.
But the Northern Democracy, base as they
are, and vast as is the mischief they have ac.
comPllshed by misrepresenting the aims and
objects OF their fellow. citizens, are not solely
responsible Tor the diseased state into which
The national Republican., 1861-04-13

the Southern mind has been brought. South.
ern dcmagogues have done their best and worst
in the same direction, and, so far as we have
been able to discover, the only emulation
among them, for years past, has been to go
farther than their rivals in charging the free
States with designs equally offensive and ludi
crous, not stopping Short indeed, Of "negro
equality" and amalgamation."
Recent events should admonish Southern
men of intelligence, who have anything to lose
by civil oonvulsion, to consider whether it is
safe for them to 60 on in this way. 1t may
serve temporary purpose in achieving party
triumphs at the polls, to represent the North ss
bent on the extirpation of slavery by all means,
lawful and unlawful. The leaders who affirm
it, know better, bat the masses, to whom it is
affirmed, may, as it now appears, be wrought
up into condition Of evaporation, in which
they get beyond the control of leaders. There
are thousands of politicians at the South, who
have spent their lives in exciting hatred and
when it is too late, that the fruit Of their teach
ings is just what they ought to have foreseen
it must be.
The present crisis may, and probably will,
terminate without fatal results, but perma.
nent and real peace between the two sections
will not be restored until the leaders of South
ern opinion cease to indulge in their miserable
and wanton falsehoods in respect to the pur-
poses of the people of the North.

The TREASURY NoTEs.-The N. Y. Herald,
in its money article of yesterday, takes the
two contradictory grounds, that Mr.. Chase made
enemies of nine .tenths Of the Wall.street cap
italists, by rejecting all bids under "a for the
stock loan, and that on Thursday, these same
capitalists, from purely disnterested attach
ment to the Government, made up subscrip-
ton for Treasury notes at par.
1t is not unnatural that Mr.. Chase's success
in disposing of Treasury notes at and above
par, should revive the soreness of those who
did not get stocks at their own prices. The
event, which proves the wisdom of Mr.. Chase's
course, cannot but be distasteful to them.

CoMMERcE-The exports from New York
city, exclusive Of specie, for the first quarter
of three successive years, were as follows:
1859 lS,725,G42
1860 20,S27,0S6
1861 33,477,742
For the first week in April the exports were
double those of 1885, and nearly double those
of 1860 And it h believed at New York that
this increase of exports, caused mainly by
shipments of breadstutfs, will continue through
the summer, as both our supplies and the for.
eign demand are indefinitely great.
The imports for the three months, including
specie, are three millions less than last year,
but of goods only, eighteen millions less.
This condition ofour foreign trade, although
not yielding large revenues TO the Govern.
ment, is getting the country into sound and
strong condition. An increase in the con-
sumption Of dutiable goods, and consequently
Of national revenue, will come in due time.

MILITARY CoMMlssIoNs.-We saw state
ment some time since, that there were appli
cations enough for officers commissions, made
to the Mon gomery Government to officer an
army of 100000 men. 1t is now said that the
applications amount to fifty thousand. The
number is undoubtedly great, and it pointQ to
that very efficient element in the present dis
turbances, which is found in the vast number
of idle and sbittless young men Of the South,
ready for anything which promises excitement,
pay, plunder, and free drinks. A very shrewd
English observer has said, that in no part Of
Europe is the proportion greater than in the
Gulf States, of the classes denominated dan
guous. The proportion is larger in tide.water
Virginia than is safe, and they will become
predominant if revolution is once allowed to
make head. Foreparned, Jorearmed. If men
in Virginia who have anything to lose, wish to
escape the military license, the forced contri
buttons, the elevation Of the dissolute and des.
perate, which are now witnessed in Mississippi,
let them nip revolution in the bud.
The national Republican., 1861-04-13

No ExcIrEMENT.-The attempt of the Sc.
cession organ here, and of the writer's of sen.
sation letters from Washington, to represent
this city as in a condition of unparalleled
excitement, is sufficiently amusing to our
citizens.
There is no excitement, as there is certainly
no occasion for any. The quelling of this
little rebellion on the Gulf, unless it shall un.
expectedly assume larger proportions than it
now exhibits, is mere episode, not involving
half the expense or difficulty of Mr.. Buchanan 5
Mormon expedition. A rebellion held at bay
for months by one hundred and fifty men,
seventy in Fort Sumter and eighty in Fort
Pickens, will alarm nobody who is not fright.
ened by gasconade.
This affair was substantially ended when
the border slave States, in which the military
power Of the South exists, refused to Join in it.
The TEXAS TRooPs.-The companies brought
to New York by the Coatzacoalcos are assigned
as follows
COMPANY ], First Infantry, Fort Hamilton,
New York harbor; Capt. Jas. H. King, com.
manding.
Companies D and H, Second Cavalry, to
Washington city. Ohicers-I. N. Palmer, Sec
ond Cavalry, commanding; lst Lieut.. W. p

When this steamer left Texas, about one
thousand soldiers remained to be brought off.
"Among the casualties attending the evac
uation of Texas are the following; On the 18th
of March, lst Lieut. James B. Wltherell, of the
Second Cavalry, was drowned by accidentally
falling overheard at the mouth Of the Rio
Grande. He was a native of Detroit, and u
son of Judge Witherel of that city. On the

AN AMBIGUOUS ORACLE.

The twelfth resolution adopted by the Vir.
ginia Convention declares it to be an indis-
pensable condition of the forbearance Of Vir-
ginia to go out of the Union, that the United
States shall not "reintorce any Of the forts
situated on The main land, or tcithin the har-
6ors Of any Of the seeded Sates," or, in other
words, Forts Sumter and Pickens.
This resolution would seem to commit the
Convention to revolution, it being quite certain
that the Government here will not practice the
forbearance declared to be indispensable"
But, having passed this resolution, numbered
twelve, the Convention proceeded to pass an.
other, numbered thirteen, and which is in the
following words:
RESOLVED, That, in the opinion Of this Con-
vention, the people of Virginia would regard
any action of the Federal Government, or of
the Confederate States, tending to produce a
collision Of forces, pending the efforts to effect
an adjustment Of existing difficulties, as un-
wise and injurious to the interests Of both, and
they would regard any such action on the part
Of either as leaving them free to determine
their own future policy"
This would seem to leave to Virginia large
and very desirable liberty of action. 1t is, at
any rate, great improvement upon resolution
numbered twelve, which was only directed
against measures of the United States deemed
Objectionable, whereas this one is directed
against measures tending to produce col.
lision," of the Confederate States, (so called, J
as we'll as Of the United States. We may be
permitted to infer from this, that as JEFF. Davis
is concentrating five thousand men at Pensa.
cola, and as the danger, not great, to be sure,
but whatever it is, of a collision there, arises
from the possibility that he may direct an at.
tack upon Fort Pickens, it is JEFF. Davis, and
not Mr.. Lincoln, who will be held responsible
by Virginia for the consequences. If this is
not what the Convention intend, it is certainly
the view which will be taken by that large ma
jority of the people of Virginia, who can see
that it is those who attack forts, and not those
who defend them, who make war.

Conventions are being held in nearly
every county in the state. The pat.
rio,ism Of the Republicans, who
everywhere favor this movement.
cannot be called in question. l,
cannot be said Of them that they favor
such an organization, where they
are in the minority, but oppose II
where they have the majority, fol
they arc freely surrendering thei,
political advantages in the strongest
Republican counties in the s,ato.-
A Union ticket has been formed in
Cuyshogs comfy, where the Ilepub
licans have usually $500 Of q ma.
jority. One has been formed in
Wood county, giving usually some
five or six hundred Republican ma
jority. A Union Convention is call.
ed in Logan county, largely Rcpub.
lican. also in Hardin county, Of like
political complexion; and so through
out the state. The Republicans can
not he charged with selfishness in
this matter. We must say that the
