It is the very t j sentiment and policy which the pre** of the I South has been Inboring to inculcate for I years, and it is the only expedient, short of ! uctll>ll (tiamiiiin liu ?ul,i..t? ?!?.?

And it is also the only means, short j of disunion, by which the North can ho i made xetjsible of the value of the South o her in a monicd point of view. | Hut practical non-intercourse with the j ' North involves extensive and important { I changes in our industrial and commercial > system, which it may take more time to cf- i I feet than many persons may suppose on a i | rirst view of the subject. The Southern , States are large consumer* of Northern j manufactures ; millions of our money n-e j I expended at the North for articles of a do? | rneslio necessity?articles which we cannot I well do without, and if we cease to buy from thcin, we must adopt one of two al| ternatives?either manufacture within our! selves what we consume, or import from t some foreign power. Kither expedient will i require extensive preparation nnd large outj lay of money. Much of the surplus capi* I tal which the planters of the South devote I to the purchase of negroes, must he direc ted to the building of ships, the erection | j of manufactories and the construction of j railroads. Self interest should he saeritij ced for a time to the general good?to patriotic impulse. These important changes cannot bo ejected in a day, hut the South can accomplish it in good time if she will but devote her enegies to tlie Work. rlM.U li - i - l III' >^>1)11111 lias IlllllllU'l V lliord H> liOj-O from a system of internal improvements than j she has from direct importation from Ku | rope. If our imports are increased by | means ofu diversion of Southern patronage i from Northern manufactories to European i manufactories, the Norttiern States will be i large sharers of the benefit of this increase, t under our present objeetionable system of ^ j taxation. This is especially apparent when ( j we lake into consi.t ?i?tion the well known ' j fact, that of the sixty millions of dollars ! J I raised upon imports annually for the support ol the (ioveintnent, the South pays | I forty millions and the North twenty mil lions. And in the distribution of this fund, ; the odds are also against us?the North | gets forty millions and the South twenty , millions. Under this view of the ease, di i reel importation would afford a verv in complete remedy f? >r our grievances, tin I en* , * we could change the present order of tax. utioii If the South cannot manufacture j n her own cloth* nnd wares she had better ' dissolve the (Jnion and open her ports to J the world for the admission of foreign pro- j ( duels tree of duly. I e It is being urged that the merchants of | l' the interior should set the example of nonI II intercourse by purchasing their supplies | s only in Southern markets. This is doubtless very good so far as it goes It j is our duty to build up Southern cities ; ' ? our trade has been too long monopolized (l by the greedy North to the prejudice of | ? Charleston and other Southern cities, Char [| lesion should have our preference, and wo hope that the wholesale dealers of that ci- j t\ will hold out such indueemeiits to the | li im reliant.s of the interior as a ill secure j t their custom from this time hence A more j n favorable time for Southern cities to en* | I large their trade could not l?o conceived, ? and it wt I be tbeir own fault if they do | not profit by the public tceim# in tlielr fa- j vor. Hut this remedy, though effective to i I a cerlnin extent, docs not strike at tbe root I ? of the evil. Tlio South is lacking in inter. I C nal improvements?in mnnufactoriw*, and I if we must buy cloth tli.it is made in l.ow. j ? ell, Massachusetts, it matters very little, so far as the main difficulty is concerned, | whether we buy it in New York or f'har* i J lesion j ' If the whole South were animated with I ' the same feeling which prompted our cor* i ' respondent hi last week's paper, the con- 1 ' dilion of dependence w hieli now oppresses I ' us would soon be shaken off. Non-intercourse necessarily encourages home enter- I prise, home institutions, home industry of ' every description, and what at first may j 1 seem a sacrifice will ultimately inure to the 1 advantage and We hope to the ii.dependence | J of the South.

The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia l'ress says: The Charleston Convention, wliiclt assembler on the 23d of April, is looked forward to with intense interest by all parties. Judge Douglas is carrying North' era Slate after Slate, and will, unquestionably, have a large number of dele gates. His friends confident1}' calculate upon a majority. In the meanwhile the South i> consolidated against him and his doctrines with the greatest unanimity.? Even Kentucky has been forced into the ' slave code column, and it is predicted that every Southern State will follow the ex- j ample of Alabama, Georgia and Missis sippi. The South will not he content ' with an unexplained declaration in favor of the Cincinnati platform. Judge l)ou i gins nod his friends will offer this, but j their proposition will be unhesitatingly and indignantly lejeeted. The sentiment of the Southern people has become so ex- ! iretne, and their demands upon Northern j Democrats so exacting, that no conces- j sions need be expected. John Drown has | united litem upon the policy of the pro' ( lection of slavery in the Territories against i the popular will, and if Mr. liuchanan shall succeed in bis Mexican programme, if lite idea of an armed occupation of that country is carried out, aa now advocated 1 by many of our statesmen, we shall seo such a violent revolt in reference to tho , disposition of that territory as baa never been witnessed in any coiintrv.

In either event, Douglas will, | 1 think, he presented as a nominee for ; the Presidency 011 his own platform, and if ho can manage to make a Southern | party, outside of the fire eaters?which seems to he the expectation of his friends ho will lie a formidable candidate. The ' Southern Americans will then he called ! upon to choose between the disunionists ( and Douglas, and a similar choice will be | presented to the Democrats of the North.
