These Alluring head-lines oer tainly eouhl on t have appeared in n Southern journal an applying to present condition in the South. No, we find I heat in a Northern pa per,' and each week wo are treated to a in ana of such rubbish which is intended to convey the impression to tho public that thu country is jre&lly proqperoup. 7'ho fanning olsas of tho South comprises tlui bulk of our citizen ship and furnishes the hark bono of all commercial prosperity. Jllow many individuals of that class can go into any Southern bank and se cure an advanco in actual cash equal to nioro than twenty per e?nt on reasonably fair i oljatei al? nno in fifty uun do it, and why HOt? Simply because tin? ptospei'r ity spnkon of as boihg in the North /loos not ejftond tr? ilio South, pimply because a long enjoyed *ys ieni ti robbery by the North of the South has supped our strength and ill ad t* of us hewers of wood and drawers of water to a people of whom by reason of our natural ad vantage we should be independent. 1 am heartily Li nil and disgust ed at this twaddle, about rutin tied prosperity. If eueli a thing exists, givo us tangible evidence of it. It can't be done for thcro is no such thing, nor will there be an long as the present larill' luw continues and hy our flnuccial system three fourths of the money of the coun try is permitted to be locked up in Northern banks for three-fourths of oaoh year.
