What the North learns ron the
New census.

1.-The people ofthe North have been taught
by party orators and organs that the South
was only the home of ruling id!ers and out
laws, and business circles III Philadelphia
aud elsewhere are now ~a@tOunde1 TO learn
that the growth Of the South, IN all the
channels Of industry and thrift, has been
abreast with the North in spite Of the pollt-
ical defamation that has kept and keeps enter
prise from reaching the South, ard in spite
of the helpless condition in which the South
ern people were left by the war. Instead OF
being a pandemonium Of outlaws and idle
ness, the merchants and manufacturer OF the
North now discovered that they have q
thrifty people in the South 70 seek as Gus
toners that there are SIX million bales OF
cotton To be sold the present year, and that
rhe new markets of the South are among
the most inviting for Northern products OF
all the markets Of the world. New York
has learned this important lesson In advance
Of Philadelphia, and the products Of our
actories now 20 to New York for sale to the
South, Instead of making Philadelphia the
centre of Southern supply, as 1t should be.
-PhiIu. Times.
Philadelphia before the war had almost a
= m)nopoly of Southern trade. Millions on
mill .ons Of bales of Southern cotton were
swallowed up by her hat, cap, shoe, cloth
ing, furniture, and grocery houses. But in
An hour after Lincoln proclamation letting
loose the armed malice OF halt a century ;
growth TO rend and tear the South. there
was not In all the continent so fierce, furious
srenzied, fendish a foe to Southerners as
Inis ungrateful city! From that hour which
told that war was begun, the sci ara
ton final, and no more hope for Southern
patronage, the shop keepers of the city OF
'Brotherly Love, the peaceful Quaker
City. became the most Irulent OF VAR
Howlers. Well do we remember the mObS rae
ing along the streets to force the hosting OF
flags, so that It might be said, as was said,
that Philadelphia had put forth a mil
lion flags In twenty-four hours, In those
days it was not safe for a Southern school
boy of l5 years old to walk even the princl-
pal streets, as we were more than once eau
toned by friends. And the daily newspa-
pers fairly frothed at the mouth in their
fury against the South and all things South
ern.
Well, that was in the past. And there
are no doubt a new class of merchants now
on deck. Still it will do no harm to remem
Der that New lork was always kindly lnten
toned towards the South, and in the very
midst of the war resisted the draft, and was
garrisoned by Yankee bayonets to keep her In
the Abolition traces.
Stand by your friends say we: in bushes
as well as in personal matters !-ED. +. d u.
