balances that ran over from one years end
to another, and the impoverished condl-
ton of farmers, made them to great cx-
tent the slaves of the dealers. BY degrees
they have e.nancipated themselves from
such slavery and now days the hard worked
planter may feel some hope Of being al
lowed TO buy for himself without being
forced to pay IS aud 100 per cent. profit.
We congratulate our country friends upon
this agreeable state of affairs and earnestly
pray for speedy relief for the few still left
in the bonds of slavery. We wish no man
any harm. We trust our enlightened mer-
chants will enjoy degree Of prosperity
commensurate with their public >ririt and
enterprise. We hope that they will re-
