TRADE WITH OUR OWN CITIES.-The j gigantic struggle through which we ! have passed, has taught the people of the South many lessons which will be useful in the future. Not the least unfortunate of these, is that we were able to live for years without the aid of New York or New England. Ne? cessity required that we should de? velop manufacturing interests, and they were developed with rapidity. Talents which the most sanguine could not have dreamed were possess? ed by the Southern people, sprang into existence. Direct trade -with Europe was required, and in spite of a stringent blockade, the products of all parts of the world found their way to our shores. These lessons should not be forgot? ten. While we have no enmities to remember, we should remember that if we were able to break for four years the chain of dependence which link? ed us to the markets of the North, we need never allow that chain to be re-linked. This can only be effect? ed by Southern merchants trading with Southern merchants. By build? ing up our own cities, we build up the entire Southern country, which by letting those cities languish we may apparently thrive for the time being, to be crashed eventually by the great Leviathan which swallows up all within its reach. In urging these views, we do not pretend to advise that men should buy at any market other than that at which they can buy cheapest; or sell to any market other than that in which they can sell to the best advan? tage; but we do mean to say that at some point like Charleston, thc South? ern merchant can accomplish two results important to himself, and at least one to the entire people of the South. The first advantage that he acquires for himself, is that while he is able to buy as cheaply as in New York, he can get his goods at.least five or seven days earlier than can his neighbor who purchases in New York. The second advantage that he de? rives, is, that he builds up a money centre near his home, and when credits are re-established, he will be able to control his liabilities much more easily than he would be able to do in New York, which is much further from his home. The advan? tage to the entire people of the South is to be found in the fact, if great commercial centres are established at the South, and they can only be es? tablished by Southern enterprise and Southern good will, they will be fol? lowed by the establishment of manu? facturing centres which will give a large home market for much of the raw material which we now send to New York and Liverpool-the profit on which is made at those points and not at home. Trade with Charleston. Her net work of railroads makes her the most desirable point at which the mer? chants of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee can buy. The same men who traded directly with Europe during the war, are still in her midst and engaged in business. The city is being rebuilt. Trade has al? ready re-opened. A large stock of goods is on hand, and the spring as? sortment will be worthy of examina? tion. Trade with Charleston, for your own advantage, for tho advantage of your customers, for your love of the development of Southern resources, and for the memories which cluster around that grand old city, as proved in the desolation which has visited her as she was noble and brave in de? fence of those principles which she believed to be true. [Augusia Chronicle. - - The New York Post thinks the ex? treme men in Congress have disco? vered that they have gol to deal with a man wbo can repel violence by vio? lence, with a man of earnest convic? tions, of firm and positive character; one who is not to be driven, or brow? beaten, or led, but who is to be treat? ed respectfully as a full grown states? man and a power. This knowledge will do nobody any harm. Six tons of fish were caught at one haul of 4he seine, on the North Caro? lina coast, a few days ago. Goor> ADVICE FROM THE RIGHT QUARTER.-The New York Commercial Advertiser expresses warm disapproval of the undignified terms in which the radical press deal with the President's veto message. The Commercial says: * ' Not satisfied with opeu charges of a disgraceful nature, they deal largely in inuendo, which they can? not and dare not back up by proof. There was no real reason for any con? flict between the President and the majority in Congress. If his argu mer are weak, let them be answered. If he vetoes a law which he cannot approve, let them frame a law to which he will assent. But in no event, for the honor and credit of the coun? try, aud for their owu self-respect, should they indulge in the coarse and unseemly vituperation which charac? terize them. This is a day when calm and dispassionate statesmanship is required, and when the terrible evils of war are to be corrected. War is so utterly wicked that it leaves only evil in its trail, and it is far more difficult to find the way out of the meshes in which hostilities inv? ?Ive a State than it is to conduct the mea? sures of a war policy. A few days of reflection has given time for passion to cool, and the duty of the present hour should suggest to the repre? sentatives of the people the necessity of engaging heartily and honestly in the work of restoration. If party i could be forgotten, there would he immediate hope. Must we forever have the measures of legislation de? pendent upon the necessities of mere party politics ?" THE TRUE POLICY.-Let the Presi? dent issue his proclamation announc? ing that the late revolted States are restored, and demand equal represen? tation under the Constitution. If a i majority of Congress refuse the rep? resentation required, the President should treat them as revolutionists 1 laboriug to perpetuate disunion. If ( the Senators who advocated the right of secession in the United States Se? nate in 1861-even traitors, as de? clared by Andrew Johnson at the J time, and deserving of punishment I then the present Senators and niem I bers that, instead of restoring, would subjugate them to servitude and per? petuate separation, are guilty of the same crime-treason-and should be treated accordingly. A little Jackson firmness on the part of the President will set all right. Let the Union be j restored in fact; and we cease our denunciations and proscriptions of the South, our violent expressions of hatred and animosity, and remember j that the people of the South, being American citizens, have both rights and sensibilities, and not disdain to respect them, and they will be a cheerful people, and we will have a Union iudeed.-Maine Democrat. The Richmond Examiner, of the 2d, while remarking upon the recent veto message of the President, says: It is a noteworthy fact in American history that every Presidential veto has been sustained by the people. We can recall no instance of the contrary. Mr. Tyler's vetoes were quite as suc? cessful as those of General Jackson. Judging from present indications, the late veto of President Johnson will command a larger popular support than any act of any American Presi? dent. So far as the press serves to indicate the popular current, the Northern States would give some two hundred thousand majority for the President, and to this should be right? ly added the unanimous voice of the South.
