Alexandria Gazette

Rather Inconsistent

We observe the following paragraph in the Charleston Courier:

"ELEGANT NEW CARRIAGES.—We yesterday inspected two new and elegant Carriages which have been imported into this city expressly for the use of the Charleston Hotel, by Messrs. R. Douglass & Co, from the manufactory of Mr. J. Stephens Abbot, at Concord, New Hampshire. They are exquisitely finished Carriages, and resemble in shape, private chariots. The decorations, both inside and out, are very handsome, and the seats, of which there are nine inside, and five out, are covered with red velvet. There is ample room for luggage, and the execution of the work is likewise excellent: though we cannot refrain from remarking that our Carriage manufacturers in this city could, had they received the order, have turned out equally as elegant and durable specimens of their handicraft."

There it is! Cursing the Yankees in one breath, and buying their goods in another. We presume there, are, of course, no carriage-makers in Charleston! The people of that city, if we are not mistaken, entered into resolutions, about a year ago, to give no more freight to Yankee Captains! What good will this do, when they go, even for such an article as a carriage, to Yankee manufacturers! Our doctrine is, that the best way to answer Northern interference, is by making them feel the impolicy of it in their pockets.—Richmond Dispatch.
