Those who voted for the resolutions

North of Mason it Dixon's line, "except

plodgcd themselves to pntronizo those
merchants who comply, "to the exclu

arises do we intend to abide by tlioso
resolutions, nn«l on’our part carry them

comptising a large number of our weal
thiest and most intelligent citizens, who
adopted thorn with stioJt unanimity, ut

ill tho meeting, whenever they mny he
aldo to savon few dimes by giving tho

If so thewholo nfihir will bo a moat
absurd failure—a ridiculous farce. But
we have greater confidence In the sin*

of thopcdplo of Floyd county to enter
tain suclt a thought for a moment. We
will not, we cannot believe that in their
breasts such narrow, miserable, con
temptible avarice is paramount to Hint
broad, noble and elevating patriotism
that sustained the heroes of ’7ft while

against cold and nakedness and starva

is tho ‘stufT wo are made of
void of that noble instinct which would
rotiso us to tho dofcnce of our Hv
.firesides and their "sacred honor," if they
should ho attacked by the midnight
torch and murderous pike of the Alioli-
lition incendiary and assassin. No! it
is a slander upon the citizens of Floyd
county to intiinato that they will not
faithfully observe their solemn plod,
to "support and .sustain" those nu
chants who manifest their respect for
our "request and recommendation,' and
evince a willingness to patroui/c home
manufactures und direct importations,
therohy performing their part of the
great work of establishing the commer
cial independence of tho South and en
riching, building up and strengthening
our soction of tho Union". When wo
loso confidence in their readiness to do
what overy principle of duty and of
honor requires) then will wo hnljeve
that our doom is sealed, and wo aro un

A committee was appointed to obtain

The Hulo Working both ways,
The declaration of the Southerner that
tho "offensive personalities" to which
we took exceptions was a "reply to an
attack upon tho Democratic party, if not
intended for tho Editor of that paper
personally" renders it necessary for ns to
say ono word more on this subject. Wo
lmd hoped it would be otherwise,
If our humorous siiggoition of the
propriety of -establishing in Washington
City an oifico for the reception of “Pub
lic Donkeys," because the "Capitol was
too small to accommodate ull that were
"nibbling at the public crib," was an
attack upon any lx>dy, there'can he no
reason to believe that it was git attack
upon tho Democratic party, any more
thjtn upon the Republican or even tho
South American party. They all occu
py seats in the Capitol and uro “nibbling
at tho public crib."
The democratic Platform of Calhoun,
(ty, was not quite so sensitive, for it
copied tho articio without a word of
comment.
We are utterly' unahlo to cbneiovo
hqw, by tho most liboral construction
the Editop-of the iSoiithenier could np-
propriatq any part of the imaginary
attack Jo himself,.unless porhaps lie
aspires to Congressional honors arid
takes tfio affront inprospectu.
But wo presume this straining at a gnat
wjts necessary iu ora or to justify his
singling out one of the Editors of this
paper) askuiMng that ho was tho author
ntjd making personal allusions to him,
wjiioh could not bo otborwise than of
fensive, tjvtm if their tonor and stylo
djd not oviyco considerable irritation,
•and some malice,
•Wa could with equal justification,
designate one of tho proprietors Of the
/Southerner as tlip Editor, aud ^on accuse
hjm of . ‘‘obstitmoy) moauness aqd
treachory," and denounce him aa a
.‘‘jenavo and a traitor," upon the'ground
that ho applied such epithets to "our
party.” This would bo "working the
rUlo both tyays," and would .ho no
gloater "breach of good taste, nor moro
unbecoming Iho dignity of a high toned
wOulii lm "not very well satisfied" wjtH
tha' nasuranco that it w*» a " fnco
tiou* reply// nml we were simply ap
plying his "rtilo." ‘
Ilowcvdr. wo aro willing to rest tho

one again.

While the committee were out, Col

able and eloquoht speech, set forth tho
relations subsisting between the two sec
tions of the country—the nggressivo
and unconstitutional policy ofthoNorth
on the ope hand,'and the degrading de

and earnestly urged fipon tlioso pres

our Dry Goods, Groceries, Hardwuro
and other Merchandise, we will support
and sustain those who comply with the
foregoing Resolutions.
lle*olitfd;'M That while we have , an
abiding confidence in the patriotism and
fidelity of some ofpur Northern friends
yet duty to the South requires that
should stand to and abide by the forego
ing resolutions until tips Northern .States
demonstrate at tin* ballot box thoir v fidol-
tty to the Constitution nnd the laws, by
driving from our Nntiounl Councils the
lenders of that demoniac crew, known
tho Black Republican Party, and by
rejH'nling all their local laws which mili
tate against tho Constitution of out
common country.

Apart from tho fact that cnainos,. mill*,

ty. But machinery is not the only kind
of work Richmond nianufucturers are
getting up for tho $outh. Somo of our

The following extract from tho N. Y.
“Herald's" Washington lottor would
indicate that lie may bo mado to reveal
it:
. Strong efioits are making to induce
the Senate Brown Raid Committee to
subpfonn Gov. Wiso before them, to

ting that lie had reuspn to believe, that
people of tho North, nnd West were
arming to march to Virginia aml respiie
Brown and his companions, nnd upon
which belief ho made ft great military
display at the execution of tlioso man.
It is said that Gov. Wise will ho cnllod

resumed its formor porch, and thus it
continued to do for ftday or two. Find
ing it inipossililo to drive it' away,.the
and hung it up hesida tho canary bird,
with which it seemed to,havo formed

cago door was left open for that purposo,
and ns long ns the cntiaiy bird w«us in
