The People of the North, who have heretofore conducted and received the emoluments arriving from those two really valuable institutions, the Telegraph and Adams' Express Company, are doubtless like all in that region, learned together to oppress and subjugate the South. As a matter of self-preservation, we trust that our people will convert their sections of both concerns into Southern institutions without delay. A man, too, might make a big thing of manufacturing Colt's pistols. The laws relative to patent infringements are not now, nor will ever be again, in operation in this part of the country. The South gains much by the severance of her connection with the universal Yankee nation. Whatever of good they may have discovered we can use — the bad we can let slip, as we do them.
