NoKTm,Rs BUSINESS MEN.

II is difficult 10 believe that any political
movement Of the Republican party That
must inevitably iunict great damage upon
fine business interests of the southern states
can have the approval Of the great body OF
tho lusiness men Of the North. That there
are a large number Of men in the Northern
states. engaged i'm certain lines OF manu-
f,cturc. who regard the encroachment Of
southern manufacturers upon their trade
with growing hostility, is hardly 10 he dis
puted. but il is only this lclass Of maauiac-
turers who observe the increasing prosper
tv Of the south with concern. and who III
consequence are eager 10 support the ke-
publican party i'm carrying out the repT's-
siye measures which it is directing al the
South. The bulk Of the business men oil
the North can only entertain this feeling by
the force Of sectional prejudice, If they en-
terrain it atall; but ifthey are so weak as Ia
allow themselves 10 be controlled IN such
an important matter by sectional prejudice
they must do so with the full consequences
that they are iniuring their material IN
terests.
The Overwhelming majority of Northern
men Of business can only derive benefit
from the growth of the Southern states in al
the elements of wealth. The south is rap
idly becoming more and more valuable
customer Of the North, as It's population in-
creases innumbcr and its power as a pur-
