The South is very blind io her interest not to i have one or more publishing- houses in her borders. ! such as that of the Harpers,, the Applotons,• or of i l’uiuaru. The imprimatur of thesy, and otlivr houses at the North. Is sufficieht to give tho‘st'ainp jof currency to anv book, however trillingAt may be. | Theirs is the inia.go and superscription ofTMesnr. and ! ] whatever has tho sanction of-their name,-is sure to moot with ready salo and extended eirculgtion. On the other hand, whatever they do not publish must, it seems,’ prove a failure. And the mischief of it is, Southern authors cannot get their produce. tions published by these money-mongers and litera ry vampires, if there is. any independence of Norlli |cm intlueneo about them. Witness, our book— : “The Times”-—which Charles J>.

May we be permitted to briefly advert to some. | of the causes which have made/goutliem Litera i ture” synonymous' with tb.e word Juvuiii? It is not enough to say we have no publishing bouses, and that the dost of publishing is high. The epics t iou occurs,, why is this so? One reason is that be ing an agricultural people, wo have not among ns those large cities arid towns which arc favorable to the production arid 'consumption of literature—the mai'ket of letters being, in a groat measure, govern- ; cd by the same rules which govern tlie market of leather, or .any,.other article, oftrade. .

[coiuayvtCATEn.j The Whig- Party not Dead- So say3 the National Intelligencer in its issue of July Ist, in which it finds corroborative testimony in the “able'’argumentative' protest of the Mobil,-. Advertiser.” The recent course of the National Intelligencer imposes upon that journal the , diffi cult task of checking the dying throes, and infusing new life and hopes in a political organkation which if not already dead, has survived its proses" feiou3, and remains a withered, distorted, invalid, so accustomed to nauseous drugs, that its feeble vital ity is preserved only in tho continued use of hurt ful stimulants, affording temporay existence, the sure procurement of ultimate disaster. The Intel, ligeneer is vapidly shedding its old robes of Na tionality. soon to appear fresh and sleek in anew coil of Sectionalism and from its bitiijgs.on tho Ne braska and Kansas, bill, we have tho wanting of its rattle that its sting is death, its tongue enven omed, bitter, merciless. Wo have no doubt it would be more gratifying to have an occasional Southern Journal, from extreme Sections, of its own way of thinking, to' screen a too abrupt, inconsis tency. .Vibes may boos service in protecting a retreat from high and proud position to infuriated, tree-soil strong-holds. Wo forbear ourselves, . and would recommend the press generally, to •‘err on virtue’s side,’ in impugning the motives of gentle men of age,-of experience, and ability in a knowl edge of public affairs, and'in its estimate of men to adopt tho Scripture.guide of judging a" tree by its fruits, in testing soundness.,-md purity. Wo believe the Intelligencer Is Plowing the die- 1 fates of real-sentiment and that its. judgment* in clination and sympathies are in favor of Slaverv re- | strictioa' in its present limits, that its,opposition to I fine repeal of the, Missouri Compromise is imjjjspen , dent of agitation it begets or the supposed plighted iaith it violates, If the Gom promise of ISJO was intended to secure quiet to the country if has sig nally failed. If it was intended to announce polit cal inequality of one section against another.pt has accomplished its designs. In fact the legisla tion of this government subsequent to' tho early days of its founders has been premature, vaseiluting I and resembling temporary expediency. In ponse- I quertco of which most of our leading men have, | been on every side of every prominent measure, 1 platforms of parties distinguished for the facility of [ vajjed complexion, and Presidential promotion, a ■ game of chance in which bystanders are as apt to j win as those who wager. Were Mr. Clay himself j in life and power he would hardly attempt to re- j vlve the American system, a National Bank, the; abrogation of the veto power, the bankrupt law, &<-. ■ Unless wo profess the doctrine of transnbsfantiation, j we cannot believe that the disguise of anew dress j and protean shapes would give a pulsation of life j to these measures. A. siuglo retrospective glance ! will satisfy any informed mind that bur legislation ! is hasty and repentance afflictive and mortifying. ‘ If the Missouri Compromise is entitled lo the j credit of years and the suggestion of its repeal a j stigma upon our age. by what right or authority do you go behind it, and render ineffectual and null the provisions of our Constitution in its guarantee pf the restoration of Fugitive slaves? If you had not leanqed to trample under loot, ami lay v iolent hands upon‘tho Senior .instument, but allowed us equality ol' rights and privileges, tho first compro mise would not have been made, nor the last ne cessary. The agitation of the slavery question will uot .cease by the adoption of. any expedient. The hos tility of the Whig Tarty North, to the institution, is avowed and unmistukeable. Tho House of Pcl-1 egates in Connecticut has passed a law nullifying j tho fugitivo-slavo act, so far as applicable- to, that j State, (we are ignorant of its fate in tho' other j branch of .the legislature.) while Vermont in its nomination of a Whig Candidate for Governor, has • {>assed stringent resolutions against .the Nebiaska bill.and urging its repeal. • Tho Wlfig. State Convention qf Maine is reported harmonious and enthusiastic. Very decided Anli Nebraska Rcsolntibhs'wero adopted. It appears that the Whig Party is not dead, but living in the ombraeps of Kreesoil fellowship, Upon what pro-. tene,es the Intelligeneer can lay claim to its Na tionality we leave fur others to determine for them selves, 'J'lie Northern State Conventions of this creed 'are adopting with enthusiasm.strong Anti-Nebras ka Resolutions.. Tho jsq,uthoi'n Whigs in 'Cougress and at home, are equally unanimous in favor of tho measure,'and we predict that no Convention South of Mason & Dixon's lino will fntrodneo' siifiilar res olutions to those of tho Northern-Whig Party, and yet thp. Tntelligeucgr, will have it dluh a Nifyional Whig organization still exists. This opinion will apoibgisoipr thefrcesoil fenfletieiefe of that journal without convincing anybody of the utter, absurdity of such a thought. .Not while the Scriptural an-’ j m.niciation ye cannot serve Gog and Mammon standq a verity (which will remain jilllleaven and earth prtsa awny,) c;\n a Union be liiainlaim'd be tween such antagonistic elements, u Wo regret to_ see . the Intelligeneer shaping it* course against the institutions of the fckmtli, though wo feel indebted .to tho; over wrought Teal of j Southern’ mob in, their indictments against this pa per tin* its present .position. ‘J ITNl T N i I AS.” t* 't\ h A ' “T'"~ ••'% .. i COM M t M'’ UT.t). j V'.\„ July; 10th, iSod.
