Sectional Jealousy.—We would say to our brother of the C. Watchman, we are not of stirring up sectional jealousy; but we are of arousing the South from their mental apathy, and would impress upon our southern readers the importance, the absolute necessity of acting for themselves. The child that always lies on the arm of its parent will never learn to walk. If it would stand erect and walk as others do, must let go the hand of the parent and make an effort itself. Let the South exert its energies, cultivate native talents, place itself on an equality in literary matters with the North, and she will be treated more respectfully and, consequently, will have less frequent cause of complaint. Let a man act aright, and we care not in what longitude lies the land of his nativity.—Commend us to an honest and liberal man, say we, and wherever we find him we will hail him and love him as a brother.
