.aCfncinnati Drying Up"


Some days since we copied an article on
this subject from . Cincinnati paper, show
ing that while Chicago was increasing her
business, Cincinnati was losing. The rem
edy we gaye for this evil, was when Radir
ealisut ceases it's efforts to force the mar
kets of the West via the Northern Lakes in
the direction of New England, and leaves
the people of Southern Ohio, Illinois and
Indiana to seek their natural markets to
the ocean by way of the Ohio, Mississippi
aud their tributaries, and allow the South
erh planter to plant and to gather bis cot
ton crop. with no bad laws to make him
afraid, then Cincinnati will again be the
Queen City of the West. Then, but not
until then. u-ao..ea a az SO
The Commercial don't like our plain talk.
It says:
"The writer of the above paragraph would
have had the peopleAef Cincinnati subserv-
lent to the Southern traders. There was
time when the meaDness that he illustrates
had force here. If q man ventured to say
that fugitive slave hunting on Ohio soil was
disgracefub there Asas howl that he might
hurt the Southern trade"
We would have no subservancy about
cinnatl was built up by Southern trade
that trade, thanks to Radical measures, no
longer exists, and Cincinnati IL now play
ing second fiddle to Chicago. In no city
does the destructive measures of the Radi-
cal leaders ihrU hrU6ngfessli6d stronger advo-
Gates than in Cincinnati-not, it is true,
among her business men, but with those

contrate it on themselves and their acts

doomed city Of fCincippatis ~
When the South raised cotton, and her
fields produced enough for the worlds mar
keh2autk spgarsrrice, II etey for our owu,
sllCherk shppliesNof provisions were drawn
from the West, and Southern Ohio furnish
ed her full quota, Cincinnati being the
great port from which these supplies were
shipped, and the great port of entry for all
the sugar. molasses, etc. for Southern Ohio
and Southeastern Indiana, brought from the
great valley of the Lower Mississippi. This
gave her trade SenAbied her Wholesale mer-
chants to do thriving business; but now,
although the South has still mouths to feed,
she has no money TO purchaseAno cotton
to export, no rice, no sugar to sell. In lieu
of her, rich staples, her planters have to
content themselves with their little patch
of corn, to raise bread to feed their halt
starved families This state of affairs,
caused by the bad and unconstitutional
Jaws of Congress, deprives not only Cincin-
matt, but.the whole vast region of the great
West, watered by the Ohio, Mississippi and
their tribnaries, of theirrightful and their
the gain of Chicago andthe other lake cities.
New England made more money out Of
the war and sent fewer of her sons, in pro-
portion to population, to fight the battles
Of the country, than the patriotic States OF
the great West. Fhe Eastern States now
get the vast produce of gthe west which
once found its market on the lower Missis
sippi| instead Of BY the floating arks-New
Orleans boats as they were ealled-which
used to creep out OF every creek and river,
Laden Iith aHouy, corr, potatoes apples,
pork. beef, etc., competing with the float
ingr palacel steamers. for the cheap car
rying trade, the produce of the West, is
ppw sent BY rail- 70 New York and 90 New
England-the price of Transportation being
in many cases equal to the value Of the
article-aud thus produce raising is cheated
or its Just reward.---

IAN Adr0it REeyes of she Radicals.
u There is talk. at Washington City, that
Atfsin contemplation to throw the Repub-
dican electoral vote for CoLFAx instead of
for General. GRANT. The Constitutional
Union says this talk is serious and is not
merely idle talk. 3 aIIBH Q Z .9a8
If such talk wears q serious form at
WashinR ton, it is serious only in this that
it is to brighten GRANT into making up a
Cabinet that will be acceptable to the Rad
icals. The Republican Electors would not
dare throw their votes for anybody but
GRANT for Presidents Nobody need fear
that. they awill, do any such thing.l The
Radicals may threaten that It win besdone,
unless they have the voice they desire In
the Administration. If they, can; frighten
GRANT into making such Cabinet as they
want then they will be satisfied that
throughout his Administration they can
ehave things their own way. isg sl5n.si y
