BALTIMORE.—The persistent anti-slavery attitude in Congress of Mr. Henry Winter Davis is creating no little excitement throughout the South. Its immediate effect is to induce the Southern newspapers of all parties to publish strong appeals against according the trade of the slaveholding States to a city that persists in sending a co-laborer with Messrs. Giddings & Co. to the national legislature. From the tone of many articles in Southern journals on the subject, we doubt whether the effect of the course of Mr. Davis in the House will not be to drive millions on millions of her annual sales of merchandise away from the city he represents.
