LARS EARNED AT THE South AND ADDED TO NORTH
ERY ACCUMULATION. Hence we can see why |
the Union is glorious at the North, ana |
why the unanimous opinion of Black Repub !
liCans is, that lit must and shall be pre- |
unseltishi is Southern patriotism. which nurses |
with its life blood the hungry bantllnS at It's |
breast. and the more it bites and scratches |
gouges, squeezes, and pummels the fount OF
life only folds il more tenderly TO its bosom, |
and with sweet Iullabies seeks TO soothe the
truculent glutton
flush -a-bye,
And don't You cry;
Hush a bye, little baby,
You shall have a coach and six, &c.
Now, if the Union, which is dear to the
South from the purest and most disinterested
motives, shall be rent asunder, it Is some con-
ISOLATION that the forty millions which shenow
contributes to the United States Government
| will be at her own disposal, and be expended
for her own benefit. The present exhaustlAg
drain would be stopped and duty as low as
ten per cent upon her foreign trade would
produce thirty-five millions which would be
| ten millions more than would De necessary
| for the support of the Southern Government,
| and thus the frightful bugbear of taxation
vanishes into thin air. Nearly the whole OF
the present immense expectation OF $3.50 600, GOO
| is furnished by the Cotton States, which are
| now out of the Union, and it is only by max
ing common cause with them that Virginia
| can participate in the revenue based upon
these exports, and obtain relief from the bur-
| densome taxation entailed by the New Eng
| land Tariff.
| Orr MANUFACTURISG INTERESTS.
For Virginia to pursue temporizng policy
is 10 endeavor 10 serve two masters and TO be
strongly mistrusted by both, to thrust herself
between the upper and neither mills tone ana be
be crushed to atoms. Our peculiar advantages
in Richmond for becoming great manufac-
turing city, have received their chief impetus

We will mention single circumstance in
illustration of this fact In one tceek of last

8 States, ii we prefer their friendship to that Of
i section which buys nothing from Us, will
7 not only continue but, aided by their in
p creased ability, encourage our manufactures
1 of every description, to Il degree of which we
e can now form conception. The immense
manufacturing profits which have hitherto
gone 10 the North would build up here a Man
chester and Sheffield combined, whilst Nor
4 folk with her magnificent harbor would be-
come the New York of the South That the
Southern people are not unobservant specta-
J tors of events in the Border States, is MADE
5 apparent enough by the reply of Gov. ELLIS
of North Carolina, TO 4 circular sent him
: from Baltimore, asking what amount of aiC
d he could recommend his State TO give Il Balti

lin contrast with this, Representatives from tn

the result brought about by the Representatiy

It Baltimore such preference over New York in an
recommendation might make to the Legislator

IS In view of these fScts, Gov. ELLIS declines
70 make the desired recommendation We har
he no doubt he speaks the sen timent of the Who'll

fniteiy prefer New York, which has alway
