notthisa toll oppressively levied at the gates of

created, the political condition of most of the pulf
nations is snch, that this very condition of itself
would force the channel of their trade through our
Southern ports. Take Mexico and a supposed case
by way of example. A merchant has in store, at
lsvcrpool, a cargo of goods for the Mexican market,
worth ©300,000. They are waiting for advices
and an advance of prices: he is afraid to risk them
in tlio custom house of Mexico, for the condition of

the custom house and plunder his goods without re

perfectly safe, near their market place, and in case of
a demand, might be the first to offer. They are
paying storage in Liverpool, at all events; and per
haps storage in New Orleans is cbeaperthan in Liv

“ Though not producing half so much as she now

other causes, lias had the practical effect of shorten

Northern Cities, while that from the South lias re
mained very nearly tlio same. Passages to Now

be regarded ns a halfway house on tlio high road of

This eireutnrtnnec, therefore, was, of itself calcn-

cendency, but none among them have been more ac
tive or effectual than our custom house regulations,
which have so hedged about ti.e imjsirtiiig busiuoss
of tho country, with unnecessary and vexations re
.friction', that it has very inueii fallen into the hand:
of a few capitalists, many of them foreigners of such
wealth, that it is in rain for a Southern merchant to i ”
attempt competition.
The average rate of duty upon importations is
about 33 percent, or one-third their value. The
duties are always in cash, payable on the landing of
tlio cargo, whether it be for consumption or simply
for re-exportation. Hence, none but men of large
capital can enter into the importing business, and
hence, under this oppressive system, the commerce
of the country is virtually a monopoly, and nn ogj
pressivo one too in the hands of a few natives and
foreigners of overgrown capital. These latter come
among us, remain a few years, amass wealth and re
tire with it to enrich “fatherland.” Here therefore is
a continued dram upon the country, which falls
chiefly upon tho South and West
“ I do not mean to inveigh against cash duties;
on the contrary, I would hare the duties in cash, by
all means; but I would have no monopoly in’trade,
anti ns few restrictions os possible upon commerce.
The present system makes tlic importing business of
the country a mono|iolyof the most odious kind.—
Instead of exacting tho duties when tho goods were
landed, I would lot them go into bonded warehouses,
properly protected and secured, and exact the duties
only when the goods leavo the warehouses for con
sumption at home. With such an arrangement,
men of small capital could go into tho importing
business, competition would become more active,
and increased abilities to buy, larger consumption,

most valuable.
The Cotton Culture is of itself the great
-modern agricuitur.il wonder. Alluding to
this staple, an intelligent correspondent of
the New York Gazette, states that the first
cotton exported from America, was in 1791,
which consisted of 189,316 lbs. taken from
Virginia to England. In 1792, the quan
tity was 138,328 lbs., 1794, 1,6t 1,760;
1795,5,276,31)0; 1837, 444,211,537 lbs.
In 1831, there were in 12 of the United
States, 795 mills in which were 1,246,503
spindles, and 33,506 looms. 77,517,3)6
lbs. cotton were consumed, and 67,862,652
lbs, yarn produced. In these factories were
employed 18,539 males and 38,927 females,
or together 57,466. Their wages amoun
ted lo $1 ,294,444,
In 1835, the amount of cotton produced
in the world wastin' round numbers, 90!),-
000,000 ibs., of which quantity 460,000,00
lbs., or more that! (half were produced in
tlic United State's. ’In tfie same year the
capital cmnloyed in connection with grow
ing cotton in the Coiled States, amounted
to *800,000,000. - The number of person
employed was 1,009,000.
Notwithstanding all that has been said
of the great value of our cotton crop, it is
only about half the value of the hay crop.
The quantity of cotton produced in the U-
nited States in 1S4 ! , was 747,660,09 ‘ lbs.,
and t he amount of Hay, 15,419,807 tons.
Cotton was first inantifact tired in Eng

The number of persons engaged in spin

rol channels; ami this is to be accomplished by sail-
stituting for our present Custom House jiolicy, the
“ Warehousing System.”
“ Under existing arrangements, all goods enter
ing the country, whether for re-exportation or con
sumption, are required, on being landed, to pawn so
mnch into tlic Custom House, in cash. Though
they arcto’hcrc-shippcd from the country the next
day, still tho pawn in cash for ti.e custom house must
be forthcoming. Tlio exporter is entitled to receive,
us drawback or debenture, the amonnt thus pawned,
it is true; but it may he saddled with commissions
of various sorts. Tho Custom house itself levies a
commission of 2j percent, and retains it without
ieterdst for 35 or 30 days after the goods leave the
country.
“ Now, sinco the loss of this trade, Ciiaricston and
the Southern port* havo become the great recepta
clesof the elements of commerce. They give to it
those Vast quantities of snrplud prod-ace, and those
raw materials, which indicate the greatness, and
constitute the wealth of the country. Instead of
exporting their 283 bales of cotton a year as they
did then, they cow send ont ten thousand times that
quantity. States, island* and cities, rich with the
materials Of commerce, and offering us good markets
have sprang up in and about tlic Gulf of Mexico.
These are without shipping,without the means to

upon others to do their trading for them. Chariea-
tofl and other Southern ports are the half-way lion-
sea'between them and Europe, and the natural en
trepots lor their trade. Vessels from Europe, as
they come empty for your cotton, would gladly di-
vl&tf freights with you, and bring so for on its way,
th# merchandise for the Gulf Markets; but our pres-
cot regulations of duties and drawbacks forbid. As
though it were to keep clou this channel of trade,
a toll gate has been erected, by federal legislation at
the bar of Charleston harbour, and a tariff of rates
hung up, informing traders from across tho seas, if
they do but touch there with the merchandise on
hoard for the Mexican or other foreign markets, they
must jay the collector. Is it therefore surprising,
that Charleston has ceased to be on entrepot of com

chant, coming to lay in his assortment, would find it
cheaper to buy the goods in bonds from the impor

pay duty himself, if he reside near, or, if not, re

Ciucinnatti—rewsrehouso them there, and pay du
ties a* ho withdraws them for consumption—
By this course, ho would save the commission and
interest, which the importer charges for paying the
duties for htui—And thus tlie consumer would buy
cheaper.

Each of them, when bo returns and opens his stock

out who it was had to pay the duty—whether the

it lie known in high places; upon what article (if
any) the shoe pinched too much.
‘The Warehousing System would be simple and
economical in its details; it would make the Tar

would, moreover, be eminently republican in its op

seen one of the many reasons why I advocate it’
Ifew Gin Band.
A correspondent of the St Francisville Chroni
cle calls the attention of planters to what he styles
“a new, cheap, and efficient Gin Band, winch has
more than met tho most sanguine expectations of
the experimenter.” It is a substitute for tho leather
band, and is said to be in operation on the planta
tion of Mr. T. C. M’Caleb, in SL Francisville.
It is thus discribed.
“The substitute for leather is our coarse cotton
cloth, three quarters of a yard wide. Cot from the
piece twice the length yon wish the bead—brii
the ends together, and by it in even folds 9 inch
wide, which will bring two salvage edges on
each side, therefore producing a uniformity in .the
tension of the band on the wheel. Three longitudinal
scams are then to be ran, one at each edge, and in the
middle, when it is, ready to receive a preparation
that ensure* its strength and durability. For a band
forty feet king, is required five gallons of tar and
twelve pounds of rosin, which are to be simmered
together, tod the band is to be carefully, saturated
with this mixture. It is then to bo exposed to the sun
and perfectly dried, when it is ready for use. Its
Weight will exceed that of .leather. During the
first two days it will require tightening often, which

lowing, and that our Legislature would meet one
month previously, and would have ample time to
elect a Senator before the next meeting of Congress.
Remembering their position on this subject before
the election, do they fear that the Democrats will
now turn their own arguments against them, and
refuse to go into an elcctioa ? Or do they dread the
influence which that election will have on their own
party, and thus endeavor to avoid both the election
and the responsibility of postponing it to a future
Legislature ? Whatever may be the object of the
Whigs, wo believe the duty of tho democratic Sen
ate is too plain to admit of a doubt. We presume
all will admit that the Senator should represent the
wishes of the majority of the voters in the State.—
To know the wishes of the people he should be elec
ted as short a time as possible before be takes his
scat. What propriety then in electing a Senator
this session, who is not to take liis seat until Decem
ber, 1847 ? If the wishes of the majority now, is
the same that it will be after the next election, lien
there will be no harm done—the result will he the
same that it would be now, and the same party will
havo the privilege of electing such a Senator as Will
suit their views.
But suppose in the next two years, the wishes
of the majority should change, ought not their wish
es to be respected ? Ought not a Senator who is
then just about to take his scat for six years, to rep
resent the last expressed wishes of the people ? No
reasonable man enn doubt it. Tlic present whig ma
jority, (if there is a whig majority) in the State will
be represented by Mr. Berrien until after tho next
election. If, at the end of two years,-when it shall
become necessary to elect a Senator, they are still
in the majority, they can elect a Senator to repre
sent them; but if they are then in a minority is it
right they should have elected a Senator to misrep
resent the majority ? If the election is put off until
the meeting of the last Legislature before he takes
his scat, no injustice can be done to eitlier party—he
will represent the last expressed wishes of a ma
jority of the State, but if the election is unnecctsari
ly forced npon the people this session, there is much
reason to fear that the wishes of the majority will
be misrepresented. '
We have made these remarks upon the supposi
tion that the present Legislature will truly repre-
rent a majority of the people of Georgia on national
politics, but we have many reasons to believe that
they will not In the last election the Whigs con
tinually asserted that the only issue before the peo
ple was, whether Mr. Crawford had made a good
Governor or not, and that national politics were not
involved in tho contest In tills opinion, hundreds
of Democrats voted for their candidate, and hundreds
more did not vote at oB. The election of Mr. Craw
ford, therefore, did not provo that the whigs have a
majority in the State, ax the whigs themselves ad
mit Their majority in one branch of the Legisla
ture was purely accidental, as they know, and ow
ing to divisions among tbc democrats in several of
their strongest counties, and not to the strength of
the whigs. It should also be remembered that the
present apportionment of the members was made
from the census of 1835, when if it had been made
from the last census, several of the Democratic coun
ties which are now entitled to but one member,
