not merely as the chief magistrate OF

Good Sense.

A curious thing, and II something be-
You'd the limit OF our comprehension, Is
he dependence of tho South upon the
North, for SO many OF the necessary
things which she might. with little et.
fort, provide within her own limits. II
such thing were not possible. thon this
action might admit of Il pardon, but as
no excuse presents itself for such con
duet, we are ut a loss TO understand why
it is persisted in. We are nndcr no oh.
legations TO the north. We have moth
ing in common with them. and do not
see why we give them that aid which, if
bestowed at homo, would materially
assist IN building up our section. The
following "good sense from the Ca
zctte, speaks our sentiments.
" How long will the South follow the
suicidal policy OF depending upon the
Northwest for the neccssafies Of life that
can be made at home, and Upon the East
for those manufactures which could be
easily supplied from our own forests and
mines 7 Whom we learn TO live at home
ON tho diversified products which our
own farmers can be made to produce, aud
and at the same time learn to manutac-
ture those articles for which we now
send abfoad-thcn, and not till then.

this truth is gradually dawning, and be-

The publishing of newspaper is pnsi-
ness. If it will pay to publish both sides
at home, the publisher will do 50; II II
does not. it is sensible and business like
to get up the best paper he can for the
least expenditure of money. Many OF
the patent" papers are better than some
others we know of, that are 'all printed
at home" All who can afford to get
M both sides" should do so those who
cannot, are entitled to equal credit for
doing the best they can, according to
their patronage"
We agree, pretty much, with the Ar
kaasian Tne matter of the legality OF
official advertisements is merely Il ques-
ton with the courts, which, in good time,
they will probably be called to act upon
and until then no prejudice should exist
