■eMei ItMWtfMg iottwv. M. mVINGLL, Editor Ac Proprietor. GEO. T. STOVAI.Jjtf Aasociatc Editor Saturday Morning, Feb. 14, 1880. Non-Intercourse. Wo publish below extracts from a Comnrthtlcatibri on this subject which a^petured*£n the Gkronicle & Stniinel, in reply to’ten' editorial of the Atlanta American. It is Written by “An Old iierchant,” who for many years was ■ehgogedin tho Mercantile business and from his long experience and thorough knowledge of the subject in all its bearings, is prepared to give sound, practical and sensible views. We regret thatother matter forbids our publishing tho articlo entire. The ChroiucU says; We publish with pleasure the commu nication of “An Old Merchant.” We agree with him in most of his views as to Northern aggression, and we are con vinced that real anti entire non-inter- course Would be the surest and speedi est, if indeed it be not the only means, of bringing the mass of the Northern people to their senses. Such a stop, could it be carried out, might lead the North through blood ana starvation and bread riots, to a proper view of con stitutional obligations. Hut to the communication: “Doubtless.every friend to hiscountry now anxiously desires to know what can be done, to save it from impending ruin. Shall we continue to strengthen tho arm, already made powerful by Southern patronage, for our destruc tion? No—never. Self-respect, _ the safety of our families, our dearest rights forbid it. Our statesmen seem utterly incompetent to avert the threatened ca lamity, they are too much engaged in President making, and with them party seems paramount to the country’s good. The people, therefore, must take the matter in hand, and save the Union, if indeed it can be saved. Let them lay aside party shackles and every man and woman, be their position ever so humble or exalted, by act and influence pro mote, by oil proper means, Southern institutions, manufactures and direct European importations. This, patrio tism demands of us. Here I cannot refrain from earnestly protesting against the sentiment used in the editorial re ferred to, that “Non-intercourse is a fallacy, a humbug.” Such a remark would come better from a New York or Boston merchant, but not so well from a Southerner; when, too, the South is struggling to be freed from the odious servitude by which she has been already too long oppressed. We need not be told that reliance upon our vast and varied resources is iniprocticablo, and that because in a month or a year the desired good may not be attained, no effort should be made. All great en terprises require time and perseverence to be accomplished, and the great good designed to be effected by non-inter course must also be persevered in ; but never can we be successful, & ''long as there are many persons faithless and hopeless, imagining hobgoblins or giants In the way, and seeking through the public press to discourage those who are willing to make an effort to free the South from this bondage of trade to tho North, which mainly contributed to the wealth of her citizens, and in build ing their palaces, the surplus of whose cotters is used ’ to destroy our institu tions, to steal our property and to send amongst us emissaries and the midnight assassin. Rather should every good citizen follow the example of Washing ton and other patriots of the Revolu tion, who pledged themselves to non-in tercourse with Groat Britain, and not to buy her goods unless from necessity and then of the lowest price and of the smallest quantity practicable. Nor should Virginia’s efforts be sneered at and pronounced a humbug in doing, towards the North what Washington and other worthies did to Great Britain. It may be asked what has all this to do with the saving of the Union. Wo answer that this non-intercourse will sooner or later caumthe business of mer chants, manufacturers and their opera tives and employers North moro or less to fail, which will soon bring them to the knowledge of the cause, and they . will no longer put into high positions abolitionists and Black Republicans, and we shall also find these merchants, man ufacturers with employees, and their capital, coming South, like pigeons in pursuit of the most. Our merchants will greatly increase their direct Euro pean imports and with increased advan tage to all concerned, and the South will become independent and prospe rous Cur beyond wnat she has ever been before. In pursuing non-intercourse, we are aiding those noble men North, of whom there are still many, battling for equal rights of the South and for the safety of the Union, and who have been unable through tho ignorance of the masses whom they have nototherwise been able to oonrince of their folly in sending un worthy and wicked men to their halls of legislation. Buying goods of our Southern impor ters from Europe is also treated lightly by some, notwithstanding the papers of the country teem with their advortiso- ments of their imported goods for sale. It is conceded that at present our im porters in order to complete their assort ments must necessarily buy some of their goods of northern “importers.” It , is also true that Northern merchants or jobbers, who sell to our Southern mer- •chants. buy ofthesame importers, there fore the profit, which our merchants toy to theiobbere North, is paid to the J Southern importer, leaving only one profit instead of two in tho hands of the «*- 4torial) that the Northern man although . an Abolitionist, with h» goods at ten eente, and his neighbor, a Southerner, with precisely the same kind of goods fifl£ra<-that the former will have the uoferonoe, for such a ease seldom occurs tnor do we titlieve that even an approx imation to such a difference in price would occur so as to induce any man in fluenced by right principles to buy of the Abolitionist, as he supposes would bo done. Nor do wo believe that goods of South ern importation would likely be dis paraged in price when compared with thoso bought North; on the contrary it is rcosonablo to suppose they would be cheaper. As before stated, our statesmen seem powerless to save the country. Our great and patriotic men such as Washington, Clay, Calhoun and Webster, we have no longer with us to lead and direct—the country seems to bo without a wise and ruling spirit to conduct it through its impending troubles, to a place of Safety and peace. Again 1 would say, the peo ple must use such measures as they can and we do believe that the course we have suggested, to b*5 tho only peaceable remedy for tha salvation of the Un ion. ,>■.

Tho North must clearly under stand that we require acts ns well as worth, and must make up its mind to come squarely to the work ; for othor- wise this Union is not worth the toss of In sight of tho Biipol.—sum S tnjot. [fcbllirily] Sam Weller’s Valentine. 8©“Wegive to our readers as appro priate for the 14th February, Sam Web ler’s Valentine to his sweetheart, with critical remarks by his Father Tony Wel ler, Esq. “To ladies and gentlemen*who are not in the hubit of devoting themselves practically to the science of penman ship, writing a letter is no easy task, it being always considered tiecessaiy in such cases for the writer to recline his head on his left arm, so as to place his eyes as nearly as possible on a level with the paper, and while glancing sideways at the loiters he is constructing, to form with Ids tongue imaginary characters to correspond. These motions, although unquestionably of the greatest assistance to original composition, retard in some degree the progress of the writer, and Sam had unconsciously been a full hour and a half writing words in small text, smearing out wrong letters with his little finger, and putting in new ones which required going over very often to render them visible through the old blots, when he was roused by the opening of the door and tho entrance of his pa rent. “Veil, Sammy,” said the father. “Veil, my Prooshan Blue,” respond ed the son, laying down his pen. “What’ the last bulletin ubout mother-in-law ?” “Mrs. Veller passed a wery good night, but is uncommon perwerse, and un pleasant this mornin’—signed upon oath —Tony Veller, Esq. That’s the lost vun as was issued, Sammy," replied Mr. Weller, untying his shawl. “No better yet?” inquired Sam. “All the symptoms aggerawated,” re plied Mr. Weller, shaking his head,— “But wot’s that, you’re a doin’ of—pur suit of knowledge under difficulties—eh, Sammy ?” I’ve done now,” said Som, with slight embarrassment; “I’ve been wri- tin’.” “So I see,” replied Mr. Weller. “Not to ativ young ’ooman, I hope, Sammy.” Why it’s no use a sayin’ it ain’t,” re plied Sam. “It’s a walentine.” “A what!” exclaimed Mr. Weller, ap parently horror-stricken by the word. - “A walentine," replied Sam. . “Samivel, Samivel,” said Mr. Weller, in reproachful accents, “1 didn’t think you’d ha’ dene it. Arter the warnin’ you’ve hod o’ your father’s wicious pro pensities, arter all Tvo said to you upon this here wery subject; arter actiwally seein’ and bein’ in tho company o’ your own mother-in-law, vich I should ha’ thought was a moral lesson ns no man could ever ha’ forgotten to his dyin’ day I didn’t think you'd hu* done it, Sam my, I didn’t thunk you’d lia’ done it.” These reflections were too much for the good old man. lfo raised Sam’s tum bler to hU lips and drank off' the con tents. “Wot’s the matter now ?”said Sanl. “Nev’r mind, Sammy,” replied Mr. Weller, “it’ll be a wery agonizin’ trial to me at my time of life, but I’m pretty tough, that's vun consolation, ns the wery old turkey remarked ven the farm er Baid ho wos at'eerd he should be oblig ed to kill him, for the London market.” ‘Wot ’ll be a trial?” inquired Sam. 'To see you married, Sammy—to see you a deluded wictiin, and thinkin’ in your innocence that it’s all wery capital,” replied Mr. Weller - “It’s a dreadful trial to a father’s foelin’B, that ’ere, Sam- my.” “Nonsense,” said Sam. “I ain’t goin’ to get married, don’t you fret your self about that; I know you’re a judge o’ tlieso things. Order in your pipe, and I’ll read you the letter—thore.” Sam dipped his pen . into ink to bo ready for any corrections, and began with a very theatrical air— “ ‘Lovely ’ ” “Stop,” said Mr. Weller, ringing the bell “A double gloss o’ the inwariable, my dear.” “ Very well, Sir,” replied the girl who with great quickness appeared vanished, returned, and disappeared. “They seem to know your ways here” observed Sam. “Yes,” replied his father, “I’ve been here before, in my time. Go on, Sam my." “ ‘Lovely creetar’,” repeated Sam. “ ’Taint in poetry, is it ?” interposed the futher. “No, no,” replied Sam. “Wery (glad to hear it,” said Mr. Weller.- “Poetry’s unnat’ral; no man over talked in poetry 'cept a beadle on boxin’ day, or Warren’s blackin’ or Rowland’s oil, or some of them low fel lows; never you let yourself down to talk poetry, my boy. Begin again, Sam- Mr. Weller resumed his pipe with critical solemnity, and Sam once more commenced, ana read os follows. “ Lovely creetur 1 feel myself a dam med’ ”— “That ain’t proper,” said Mr. Weller, taking his pipe from his mouth. “No; it ain’t dammed,” observed Sam, holding the letter up to tho light, “it’ 1 word,” said Mr. Weller, after a few mo. ments reflection. “Go on Sammy.” “ ‘Feel myself ashamed and complete ly circumscribed in a dressin’ of you, for you are a nice gal and nothin' but it.’ ” “That’s a wory pretty sentiment,” said the cider Mr. Weller, removing his pipe to make way for the remark. “Yes, I think it is rather good," ob served Sam, highly flattered. “Wot I like in that ’ere style of wri- tin’,’’ said the elder, Mr. Weller, ‘is that there ain’t no callin’names in it,—no Wenuses, nor nothin’o’ that kind; wot’s the good o’ callin’ a . young ’ooman a Wenus or a angel, Sammy ?’’ “Ah! what, indeed?” replied Sam. “You might jist as veil call her a griffin, ora unicorn, ora king’s arms at once, whioh is wory well known to be a col-lection o’ fabulous animals,” added Mr. Weller. “Just as well,” replied Sam. “Drivo on, Sammy,” said Mr. Weller. Sam complied with the request, and proceeded as follows; his father continu ing to smoke with a mixed expression of wisdom and complacency, which was particularly edifying. “ ‘Afore I see you I thought all wo men was alike.’ ' “So they are,” observed the elder Mr. Weller, parenthetically. “ ‘But now,’ contined Sam, ‘now I find what a reg’lar soft-headed, ink- red’lous turnip I must ha’ bsen fhr there ain’t nobody like you though /like you better than nothin’ at ail.’ I thought it best to mako that rather strong,” said Sam, looking up. Mr. Weller nodded approvingly, and Sam resumed. “ ‘So I take the privilidgo of the day, Mary, my dear—os the gen’lem’n in dif ficulties did, von he vnlked • out of a Sunday—-to tell you that tho first and only time I seo you your likeness was took on my hart in much quicker timo and brighter colours than ever a like ness was taken by the profeel macheen (wlch p’r’haps you may have heerd on Mary my dear) although it does finish a portrait and put the frame and glass on complete with a hook at the end to hang it up by and all in two minutes and a quarter.’ ” ,. “I am nfeered that werges on tho metical, Sammy,” said Mp. Weller, du- iously. “No it don’t,” replied Sam, reading on very quickerly,'to avoid contesting the point. “‘Except of me Mary my dear as your walentine and think overwhnt-l’vesaid My dear Mary I will now conclude.’— That’s all,” said Sam.” “That’s rather a sudden pull up, ain’t it, Sammy ?” inquired Mr. Weller. “Not a bit on it,” said Sam; “she’ll visli there wos more, and that’s the great art o' letter wri.tin’,” Well',” said Mr. Weller, “there’s somethin’ in that; and I wish your moth er-in-law ’u.d only conduct her conwer- sation on tho same gon-teel principle.— Ain’t you a goin’ to sign it ?” “That’s the difficulty,” said Sam; “I don't know what to sign it.” “Sign it—Veller,” said the oldest sur viving proprietor of that name, 'shamecl,’ there’s a tlot there—‘I feel ,UI8Slon- myself ashamed.’ ” “Wery good," said Mr. Weller. “Go on." “ ‘Feel myself ashamod, and com plctely cir—.’ I forget wot this here word is,” said Sam, scratching his head with the pen, in vain attempts to re member. . . , “Why don’t you look at it, then ?" in quired Mr. Weller. “The position very cautiouslv taken of late by a few 'among us, that tho South agreed and bound herself by the settlement of 1850; and the Kansas bill of 1854, to give up what rights she had under tho.Constitutiou, to the nt\j adica- tion of the Territorial Legislatures, and whether she lose ot win must abide by her bargain, is perfectly execrable, anil ought not to be tolerated bne moment. It is the rankest Douglasism, tlio foulest squatter sovereignty—unmitigated free- soilistn. Did any Southern member to Congress daro tell his constituents that teas the bargain, at the time—and had lie told them, would tho South havo ratifi ed it? On the contrary, did not all the Southern Representatives tell their peo ple precisely the contrary—did they not loudly declare there was no squatter sovereignty then, and everywhere pro claim that tho Territorial Legislatures had no power conferred upon them to pass laws inimicalXo our rights? It is too late in the day now to talk of any such bargains—not too late perhaps to benefit Presidential aspirants for the nomination, ns they who put forward tho feeler doubtless imagined— but too late, as we sincerely trust, to secure the sanction of any respectable portion of the Southern people.— C'hroneclc d: Sentinel. Tho Savannah Ifepublican says tho foregoing resolutions “set forth the on ly doctrine the South should submit to in the premises.” So say wp, and so says every Southern man who is not a partisan Democrat. Upon this platform with what the Chronicle calls “the right sort of a Southern man for President,” we will most heartily and to the best of our ability support a “Constitutional Union” party, and we believe it will car ry every Southern State and a sufficient number of the Northern States to defeat Stephen A. Douglas or any other Squat ter Sovereignty candidate who may be nominated by the Charleston Con vention. NOTICE. A LL Persons are notified not to trade for four notos given to Francis A.

Resolved, That neither Congress nor a Territorial Legislature, whether by direct legislation or legislation of an in direct and unfriendly nature, possess the powor to annul and impair the constitutional right of any citizen of the United States to take his slave property into the common Territories, out it is the duty of the Federal Government there to afford for that, as for - the species of property, the needful pro tection; and if experience should at any time provo that the judiciary does not possess power, to insure adequate protection, it will then become the duty of Congress to supply such deficiency. 5.
