Copy of a certificate from Col. Wade ITauztpfofl, dAted at

Mr. Tarkhurst has been, for some weeks, at cry plantation
adapting his Cctton Gin, originally intended for Long Cot
ton, to short staple. The experiment has been entirely suc
cessful. He has one Gin in operation, which wifi prepare
four bales of three hundred and fifty pounds eauh, per day,
and the quality of the cotton is far bsttsr than J Jut-re
eeersrm. By this process of cleaning cotton, U»e staple
is uninjured, while all the motes and false seeds are almost
entirely separated from the lint. I deem this discovery of
vast importance to the country, and I earnestly hope that
Mr. Parkhurst may be rewarded for it.

MISCELLANY,
WATCHIJPG.
The following lines are printed from the proof
slieets of the volume of poems soon to be issued
by Lewis Colbt, from the jien ol Mrs. Emily C.
Jcd-on. Thcrioem was evidently written in the.
East, during Mrs. Ji dso.n’s lonely watches by the
bedside of her dying husband. The lines are in
atinct with the gentle sorrow and trembling teu
nerness of a woman’* heart, amid the gathering
shadows of a half antiei pared bereavement. No
English poem with which wc are acquainted gives
a more perfect reduction of an Oriental niglit.—
Even Httitn’s beautiful lines to his wife must yield
to these in delicate beauty, depth of fccline,' and
that strange skill of the heart by which, Ilamlct
likc, the writer gives the sombre hne of her own
soul to the distant tinkling of the pagoda bells, the
cool breezes oft night, and the shadows which,
*’ With gentle human care,
Compassionate and dumb, ”
sway to and fry around the lowly couch of the
Christian hero.
Firm, love, sleep!
The dusty day Is done.
la,! frotu afar the freshening breezes sweep,
Wide over groves of balm,
Down from the towering palm.
In at the open casement e,toting ran,
And round thy lowly bed,
Thy bed of pain,
Bathing thy patient head,
Like grateful showers of rain,
They come;
While the white curtains, waving to and fro,
Fan the sick air;
And pityingly the shadows come and go,
Kith gentle human care.
Compassionate and dumb.
The dusty dsy is done,
The night begun;
While prayerful watch I keep,
Bleep, love, sleep!
Is there no magic in the touch
Os Ungers thou dost love so much ?
Fain would they scatter poppies o’er thee now,
Or, with a soft caress,
The tremulous lip its own nepenthe press
l'|>on the weary lid and aching brow.
. While prayerful watch I keep,
Sleep, love, sleep!
On the pagoda spire
The hells are swinging,
Their little gulden circles in aflutter
With tales the wooing winds have dared to utter,
TUI all are ringing
As if a choir
Os goldea-nested birds in heaven were singing ;
And with a lulling sound
The music floats around,
And drops like balm into the drowsy ear ;
Commingling with tlie hum
Os the Sepoy’s distant drum,
And lazy beetle ever droning near.
Sounds these of deepest silence horn,
Like night made visible by room;
Bo silent, that I sometimes start
- To hear the throbbing* of my heart,
And watch, with shivering sense of pain,
To see thy pale lids lift again.
The lizard, with his mouse-libc eyes,
Peeps from the mortise in surprise
At such strange quiet after day’s harsh din;
Then ventures boldly out,
And looks about,
And with his hollow feet
Treads his small evening beat,
Darting upon his prey . 0
In such a tricksy, winsome sort of way.
Ills delicate marauding seems no sin.
And still the curtains swing,
But noiselessly;
The hells a melancholy murmur ring,
As tears were In the sky;
More heavily the shadows fall,
Like the black foldings of a pall,
, Where Juts the rough beam from the wall;
The candles flare
With fresher gusts of air;
The beetle’s drone
Turns to u dirge-like, solitary moan;
Night deepens, and I sit, in cheerless doubt, alone.

One Kin may Destroy the Moul.
At tho commencement of my ministry, I found
a family in tho congregation which interested my
feelings very much. It consisted of a husband, a
wife, and two or three beautiful children. The nnm
was a mechanic, industrious and prudent. His
wife wus mild, pleasant and kind; and hud chosen
the good part which can never be taken away.
Soon after my settlement, nnd while muking a
call upon the family, the wife begged me to take an
early opportunity of conversing with her husband.
“His mind,” said she, is much troubled on tlie
subject of religion.” This was good news to mo.
My heart, 1 trust, was somewhat alive to tlie value
of souls, aud received the intelligence with grati
tudeiuid delight. It wus was not long before the
wished for opportunity was found. Oar conver
sation was tender and 'solemn, and wo closed it
with earnest prayer to God that his salvation
might be luagnilled in bringing a sinner to the
knowledge of tho truth. My feelings were deeply
moved, and Hooked for help to the convincing anil
converting spirit of God. The ease appeared
hopeful. So far as 1 could judge, tho man’s views
of himself as an offender against God wero cor
rect, and lie was anxious to be led in the way of
life. llu seemed to see that nothing short of the
blood of Christ could wash away his sins.
My heart was lilted up in gratitude to God. It
seemed as if I were to be made the happy instru
ment of loading a lost sheep to the fold of the
Redeemer. I thought of our feeble church. I
thought, too, of the wife. Tho conversion of her
husband, so fur as wo could judge, wus all that was
necessary to fill her cup of blessing. I saw him
aguin und again. \Vc conversed on the subject of
salvation at length. All things appeared ready.
He was like a man whose foot was on tho very
thrcshhold of the kingdom of Heaven.
Still, though his sorioußiicsscontinucd, he made
no progress. Often did his wife entreat me with
tears not to forget her husbuml. There was a
heavy burden on her heart. 110 would often
spend hours of the niglit in reading the Scripture*
and prayer. At length I begun to Kiel discouraged.
I could see no advance. My heart whispered that
perhaps tlie instruction I gavo him was not ex
plicit, was not evangelical enough. This filled mo
with ugitution, and sent me often to my knees.
But aftor a while the mystery was explained.
Tliis anxious sinner wus found to be a secret fol
lower of strong drink. Even his poor wife, I be
liovo was ignorant of the habit he was forming.
This intelligence wus astounding to every one.
W'liat coulu 1 do now I Must I liold'my pence
and leave iny neighbor, my friend, nnd my parish
ioner to perish I I was younger by several years .
than lie, and 1 knew not what to say.
After scekirtg wisdom from above, tho path of
duty seemed plain. 1 felt that I must go and teli 1
him all, whether ho would hear or forbear. This
I did without delay. In as tender and serious a'
way as wus in my power, I said, “My dear sir,
you know what it is that keeps you from the Sa- '
viour. God knowß it too. 1 know it. We haVo 1
often talked and prayed together, and I have been
hoping to see yon eouie over on the Lord's side.—
But there is one thing which you must give up, or
lose vour soul.” 1 trembled while 1 uttered these
words. My prayer went up to God that his Spirit
would give success. I tried to be faithful: now
else could J nefc or do 1 One Bill might destroy 1
the soul. _ i
“His countenance fell as I expostulated with
him. He was sullenly silent. He seemed to be
sorry that tlie tiling was known. In vain did I
plead with him to rise, and in the help of God break
the fetters that bound him. From that day he went
rapidly down. The sequel is sad, but short. Bad
became worse, until bis beautiful lionso went into
other bands, bis family was broken up, his children
scattered, and he, a poor forsaken man, was taken
in by his aged parents, to be to them a living
sorrow.
But the end soon enme, and camo in away to
make tlie curs of every one that hears it to tingle.
Ono Sabbath, in cold weather, the venerable father
went to church, leaving no one at home but his
feeble wife and this wretched son. In the mean
time lie found access to some liquor in the cellar,
came up, nnd fell in tlie fire. The affrighted moth
er could not pull him out’ Before assistance could
bo obtained, lie was literally almost roasted alive.
He breatiied for a few hours, but never spoke.
To me this was teaching “terrible things in
righteousness.” Truly, thought I,God is known
bv tlie judgements which he cxecuteth. When
ids hand is lifted up men will not sec, but they
shall see. Jt gave mo a fearful impression of tho
evil of sin', indulgpd aud cleaved to when the Spirit
is strving.
Who knows how many such eases the light of
eternity may reveal! Itis a fearful thing to grieve
the Spirit of God. If when the mind is agitated,
relief is sought anywhere bur in tho Saviour and’
the Bible, the effect may prove fatal. To havo re
course to unnatural stimulus, may cost the sinner
his stlvatioti.
Let me lift up the vdice of warning. Sin must
be relinquished—ovary sin, seoret as well ns open,
though dear as a right hand orn right eye, or the
jovs of pardon can never he felt. His name was
culled Jesus because he saveth the people from
their sins. Pastor.

Stsah Exgin'S Vi'RSaces.—' The Philadelphia In
quirer learns that Mr. James W. Farrell, of Head
ing, Pa., hae just obtained a potent right for a new
and important improvement in steam boilers. It
has for its object the protection of the fire plates of
tha furnaces of steam boilers against the intense
heat of the burning fuel; and it consists in isolating
the lower portion of the water-place sarronndlng
the fur ace from tiw rest of the boiler, and in con
necting it with the water tack by an open pipe or
other channel in such manner that the water in
the tank is constantly in free communication with
said isolated vater space to keep the fire plates
cool. The heat abstracted by the water from the
plates is rendered available by feeding the heated
water into the boiler. The contrivance is one of
greet ingenuity, and cannot but become excessive
ly useful.
Obigix of thi Cuoucka, —At a recent religions
meeting held at Exeter Had, in Loudon, the great
Senate House of the English religious world, a

that the tax levied apon salt by Warren Hastings,

of tfie Asiatic cholera—a disease that ha* spread
its poisonous, putrid breath over the world and
millions to the grave. The cholera waa un
known before the period alluded to, and made its
appearance immediately following the edict which

The Telegraphic Expenses of the Pre*t.
Few individuals unconnected with tho press of
thi* country, (s*v* the Charleston Courier,) are
. aware of the vi»t expcp*e# entailed on proprietors
I of newspapers by the introduction of the telegraph
a-i a medium of conveying news, nnd a* it may pos
sibly prove interesting to the uninitiated, we con
dense from an elaborate and careful I v prepared
statement in the New York Herald of Friday, the
following particulars as to the cost in this particu
lar in that eitv.
The New Y ork Associated Press is composed of
the seven-principal morning nepers, namely, the
Courier & Enquirer, Journal of Commerce, Ex
press, Tribune, Snn, Times and Herald. This as
sociation resins in its service competent nnd relia
ble correspondents iu Liverj>oo], South
ampton, Havre, and at other important points in
Europe, as well as in each of the prominent cities
and chief towns throughout the L nited States and
British American pos.>es?‘ions.
The association has also a telegraphic news room
in New York wholTy detached, aud amply furnish
ed with reporters, copyists <fcc., —the whole under
the superintendance of Mr. L>. H. Craig, a gentle
man whose long experience in the business, ener
gy of character, and devotion to the interests of
the press, eminently qualify him for the perplex
ing and arduous duties assigned him. To this
room all the telegraphic dispatches of tlie associa
tion are directed, and there they are copied out in
manifold for the above named jonfnals, and also
re-transmitted, l>y telegraph,, to all. parts of the
country. •
Mr. Craig, at the request of the Herald, has pre
pared a statement of the telegraphic general news
expenses of this association from Sept. 27, 1851, to
March 27 ISs2—u series of twenty-six weeks, from
which we learn that the total amount expended iu
that period was, $15,892.89, and that the aver.ige
total expenses per week were as follows:
Ordinary general news, Ac SBIB 04
Extra domestic nem* 278 (II
European news via Halifax Bu7 64
Total 1599 30
Tlie Herald, in addition to its share in the above,
which amounted to $8,812.29 paid exclusively for
it. own use telegraphic tolls to the amount of sl,-
820.37—making a grand total of (5,332.62 paid for
telegraphic dispatches by one journal in the short
space of six months, being at the rate of $11,265-
24 per annum.
The remainder of the article we give in the Her
ald's own words:
“But our telegraphic expenses do not continue
the same—they arc dady increasing, and will pro
bably amount to fifteen to eighteen thoiPsand dol
lar* for the year ending with nest September. This
large annual expense, it should be Dome in mind,
is a new item in the expenditure of a newspaper
establishment—introduced by the introduction of
the telegraph and forced upon the newspaper pro
prietor by the spirit of the age. We do not grum
ble. To have the uttermost parts of the world
Within culling distance is worth paying for. In
deed, wo hope to see the day, and will do our best
to bring it about, when the whole of the New
York Herald—its eight pages of forty-eight col
umns—with the exception of the advertisements,
editorials, and city news, will be filled with des
patches received the night previous by telegraph.
Our correspondents everywhere will then, as now
in Washington, Albany, <fcc., be instructed to drop
their letters into the telegraph ollices, instead of
the post offices.
“It may not be out of place to state here, that the
Herald, in addition to this enormous outside ex
penditure, maintains in connection with its associ
ates, ship news department, consisting of four
boats, with the force of six men under the super
intendance of Captain Hall, one of the most effi
cient and experienced ship-news collectors in the
country. The cost of this department is from $125
to slso per week. Its province is to board all stea
mers and sailing vessels arriving at this port, in
the enter harbor when practicable, for the pur
pose of procuring whatevernews from foreign ports
may be obtained in this way, as well of reporting
the arrivals of the vessels themselves. Tne En
glish and Continental steamers are all boarded in
this way; and the news thus obtained is almost
always in the hands of the compositor, and fre
quently under the eyes of our readers, long beforo
tiio vessels bringing it are moored in their, docks.
English PnosrEßiTY.—The following extract
from the London correspondence of the New
York Commercial Advertiser, under date 6tli inst.,
presents a glowing and gratifying picture :
Every public statistical document that appears
from time to time serves only as another illustra
tion of the shamed and hopeless position of the
Tory party, and of the absolute wickedness of
their attempts to conceal and deny the prosperity
of the country. The returns of the revenue for
tho quarter ending yesterday have been published
this morning, and denote a state of affairs consis
tent only with an unexampled degree of comfort
among the entire body of tho people.
“In the import, excise and stamp duties, there
lias been a largo increase on the corresponding
quarter of last year, consequent upon the augment
ed consumption of all the necessaries and luxuries
of life, und the activity of the transactions in all
kinds of property requiring legal conveyance.
The repeal of the window tux has of course caused
a large falling off in the branch of income arising
from direct imposts, but it has nevertheless only
been to one-halt the exteutnntieipatcd. The Post
Office shows a small decrease, which is, however,
virtually a largo increase, since tho quarter with
which the present return is compared was distin
guished by an immense temporary rise in the
postage receipts, in consequence of the (front
Exhibition. Under these circumstances, notwith
standing the large reduction of taxation which has
taken place, the total revenue for tho threo mouths '
is almost exactly equal to wlint it was during the same
period of 1851, tho reduction being only £21,480.
The first quarter of the fiscal.ycar having com
menced in this way, we may reasonably assume,
from the great increase of prosperity which is
likely to go on, that when the twelve months’
accounts shall come to be made up on the sth of
April, 1853, there will again be a large surplus.
If Mr. Disraeli should be Chancellor of the Ex
chequer at that period—which, sunk as we are iu
political imbecility and bad faith, seems neverthe
less incredible—he will bo unable to eseape per
plexity, while the protectionists will'require him
to fulfil his promises and distribute it for their
benefit, he will himself be aware that any attempt
of the sort must bo perfectly hopeless.
Mourning.—“ IJlack is the sign of mourning,"
says Kabeleais, “because it is tho color of darkness,
wmich is melancholy, and the opposite of white,
which is the color of light, of joy and of happiness.”
Tho early poets asserted that souls, alter death,
went into a dark and gloomy empire. Probably it
,wusiu consonanco with this idea that they imagin
ed black was the most congenial color for mourn
ing. The Chinese and the Siamese choose white,
concoivingthat the dead become beneficent genii.
In Turkey, mourning is composed of blue or vio
let ; iu Ethiopia of gray; and at tho time of the
invasion of Peru by the Spaniards, tho inhabitants
of that country wore it of a mouse color. Among
the Japanese, white is the sign of mourning, and
black of rejoicing. Iu castile, mourning vestments
were formerly of white serge.
Addltbration of Pale Ale.—Dr. Liebig writes
to h gentleman in London on the subject of the
adulteration of pale ales, by the use of strychnine.
This poisonous alkoloid is largely used, so it is
said, as a substitute for hops, in the manufacture
of beer, und great alarm has been excited by late
developments among tho lovers of ales. Liebig
recalls the memory of the Westphalian brewer,
of a quarter of a century ago, who fell to adultera
ting his beer with mix vomica. Speedily, ill effects
produced im exposure: medical men now find a
remarkable similarity between the effect of mix
vomica and that of strychnine. Good ale depends
upon the careful selection of the best malt and
hops, and Continental brewers are acknowledged
to be inferior to the English; wliilo Dr. Liebig,
sneaking from his personal experience in sundry
chqjpicul investigations, denies the imputation of
the poison. And he adds that this mode of adul
teration can never take place, because of the
criminality of the act, and its certain detection.
Protection against the Sun.—A writer in the
Alexandria (D. C.) Gazette, says: “In conversa
tion with a lady of one of our commodores, who
has latoly been stationed at Pensacola, where the
officers and men were much exposed to the tropical
sun, she told me that they adopted a very simple
inode of protection by w earing nigh crowned huts,
in the inside of whiefi they placed a quantity of
raw wet cotton, which completely warded off the
intense heat.” At this season, when we hear daily
of'dcaths caused by coup-de-soleil, would it not be
well to recommend our omnibus drivers, and all
mechanics and laborers, w ho are so much exposed,
to try the experiment?
Queen Victoria. —Personal Appearance. —A lady
who corresponds with tho National Intelligencer,
from London, writes as follows of Queen Victo
ria :
I have not seen her Majesty yet, but- my friends
met her early this morning at the Zoological Gar
dens. Slid was with Prince Albert, the Prince of
Prussia and two of her children. My friends
thought her ugly, dowdy ; walks badly, with a lit
tic limp, gostcring about at every body, and drag
ging one of the children along. She was uttired in
a blue lawn, scalloped flounces, blue and white
barege shawl, and black gaiter boots
We .arc reminded of Burns’ famous lines:
“A King can make a belted knight,
A marquis, duke and a’that,
But an honest man’s abune his might,
Guide faith he maun’na fa’ that
American Silk Manufacture.—There is a silk
manufactory at Newport, Ky., which turns out
soma very fine specimens of goods, giving another
proof of tho facility with which American ingenu
ity can adapt itself to any branch of industry.
The factory lias been in operation about four years, j
and it manufactures cravats, handkerchiefs and |
vestings of excellent body, soft, 'in texture, and |
which will no doubt wear well. *
It evolutionary Eelics.—The Ohio Elyria Cou
rier says the identical gnu used by Ethan Allen, !
during bis services in the Revolutionary war, is
now in possession of X. 11. Underhill, of that vil
lage. Also, the gun used by General Wayne, and
witb which lie made himself so notorious in [lick
ing Indians from the tops of trees, is now in a gun
shop in that village to be repaired.
Rainwater vs. Cholera. —It has been fully as
certained, says the report of a French medical com
mission, both at Paris and elsewhere, that rainwa
ter is a prophylactic of cholera, and that thus dis- j
ease has never proved an epidemic in any city j
wire rainwater is exclusively used. Galveston at- i
fords the strongest possible evidence of the truth i
of tho statement. —Galveston Citizen.
The Boston Traveller says:—“We understand •
that the advance in price on boots and shoes tor \
the past two months has been about twenty per |
cent., and consequently the profits to some ot j
the wholesale dealers in Pearl street, who were J
fortunate enough to have large stocks on band, I
has been verv great. One bouse estimates that
their stock on head and contracted for has id- ,
creased in value, within the penod mentioned, j
SBO,OOO. Another house estimates its profits on j
the advance at $40,000,” ,
Large TraiV.—One of the largest freight trains j
that has ever been drawn over any road, oarne in
to Detroit over the Central Railroad on Thursday |
morning. It ’was composed of seventy-six care,
and there were newly three hundred tons of
freight. It was drawu by a single looomotive.
The Liquor Merchants of Newport are selling
off their stock as fart as they can. Daring the
last two weeks one firm lias put up five hundred
gallons of liquor per day, In demijohns—this is
beside whst they have sold in large quantities.
The business of liquor-seliir.g wiil be a mid invest
ment In Rhode Island shortly, owing to the Maine

Mormon Polvsamt.—W. W. Phelps, of Utah,
said to be a leading Latter Day Saint, and an elder
jwphe Mormon Chureh, ha* written a letter to the
Sew York Herald, acknowledging that polygamy
is practised among them and defending it.
A diamond weighing 400 carats has been given

A Lesson on Iron.— Mr.Wecd, of the Albany
Evening Journal, (now on liis passage home from
] Europe,) writes from London as follows, after
(announcing a heavy purchase of rails for Ameri
ca) —
“Speaking of Iron, by the way, let us extract
j an expensive moral from tho existing state of
things. The Tariff of 1846, aided by 'cheap iron’
from England, having broken down our own
Manufacturers, we are now with all sorts of enter-
S rises in had. wholly dependent upon the English
iannfacturcrs. They understand and are taking
advantages of this folly. The price ot rails has
risen, ana wiil continue to advance. Iron is
twenty-five and thirty per cent, higher now than
it was a year ago. Rails could have been rolled, if
our Tariff had not been broken down, at home
I twenty-five per cent, cheaper than their cost here’.
I And then, beside* using up our raw materials,
j giving employment for American capital and labor
| and increasing the demand for American produce!
I the Steamers would not be taking off'specie at the
I rate of half a million a week.
There is either unpardonable stnpidity or
j wanton wickedness in our Free Trade Policy.
! Cotton growers and shippers naturally enough ad
| vocate Free Trace, though it is more than proba
ble that their true and permanent interests would
I be promoted by a Protective Tariff'. But that the
j masses of our people—and above all the Democra
cy of America—should favor Free Trade is “ pas-
I Bing strange.” *
England having by a rigid and unyielding ad
j herenee to a higlier protective policy for centuries
developed all her resources, oover’ed her »ntire
kingdom with engines, forges, loom* and spindles
I and attained perfection iu all the departments of
I manufactures, with cheap labor and untold mil- 1
| lions of surplus capitals is in n condition to ask
from the nations whose manufacturing interests :
she has broken down, free trade. Yes after Eng- l
Lind has grown great and powerful, overspreadim
the world with her manufacture* and spanning the
oceans and seas with ber commerce- when by
her Perfected machinery, long experience, m’nlti'-
rbed fteihues, and unlimited capital, England
plaaed herself beyond the reach of competition,
she assumes the championship and becomes an
example of Free Trade. This 1, eminently wise
for England. Centuries ot restrictions have i*e
pared her for freedom in trade. Free Trade is as
clearly the policy of England now as protection is
the true policy of America: The reasons, in both
cases, are found in the relative condition of the
two countries.

From the Plough, the Loom, arul the Anvil.
Second Letter to a Colton Planter of Tennessee.
Dsah Sot:— You atrree with me, that if the spin
dle :vid the loom could Ire transferred to the cot
ton fields, your condition and that of your fellow
planters would be preatly improved, because you
would thereby be enabled to trade direetlv, iind
without the intervention of Lowell or Manchester,
with the producers of pork nnd beef, horses and
mules, at the Northwest; of fine cloths, furnitnre
and Ireoks at the North; of s’.lks and tea iu China;
of coffee and sujar iu the West Indies and South
America; and of the thousand kinds of manu
factured goods now produced in Europe, that at
present cannot be produced at hornet hut you arc
unable to see how stick a measure is to be carried
out. Where, von ask, is the capital to come from t
It was with difficulty, as you say. that a few mills
were established, and many of them have already
stooped, while scarcely any have yielded profit to
their owners. Exactly so! Wliat you describe is
precisely what might have been anticipated when
you repealed tlie tariff of IS-15, under which the
domestic consumption of cotton more than doubled
in five year*. With all tho advantage of cheap
corn and cheap cotton you cannot compete with
the North, and yet tills is precisely what the tariff
of ISIS has forced you to try to’ do. Hud the
tariff of 1842 remained in operation, the Yankees
would before this time havo found a demand for
fine cottons, that would have enabled them to
abandon the manufacture of qparse ones, aud be
fore tliis tilne you would have placed yourselves
in a position to make the latter cheaply, while the
domestic demand would at this moment he ab
sorbing a million of bales of cotton, and tho day
ivould bo now not tar distant when yon would be
exporting yarns to the various countries of Europe,
nnd cloths in South America, China and California.
Instead of this, you and tiiev havo been contend
ing for a market that was from year to your ab
sorbing less cotton, and tho question has been
1 which of you should crush tire other: and the
. result is now seen in the fact that tire consumption
of Southern mills has already diminished one half,
while that of Northern ones has not diminished
■ over twenty per cent. You have thus crushed
yonr own people in tfic effi>rt to crush the Yankees,
and such has been the effect of every measure tho
South has thus far adopted with u view to that
object. It is your,elves and not the Yankees that
really need protection. Let things remain as they
are, and you never can trade with tile world except
through tho mills of Manchester and Lowell; but
determine to protect yourselves in s’onr efforts to
draw the spindle anil tho loom to take their
natural places by the sido of the plough and tire
harrow, and the day of emancipation from the con
trol of botli will then be not far distant.
You ask, however, where is the cupital to come
from i In answer, let mo call your attention to
the fact that ull the materials of the mill abound in
your immediate neighborhood, and that they need
but the application of labor to put them Into the
form of a house fitted to contain machinery. Look
oil your own plantation, and you will find'an abun
daueeofboth stone and wood. Look again, and
you will see that you wasto annually as much of
the labor of men, horses, carts and wagons, as
would cut and fashion a vast deal of timber, and
quarry a vast quantity of stone, and haul the two
to the place at which the mil! should stand. Look
next among your t'ollow-plantors and see if it is
nottlic same with all of them, and then determine if
you could uot. by an united exertion build a mill
lioiisc out of the savings of a single year, thus
costing you not a single dollar. That done, you
would need machinery,.but you would find abun
dance of persons willing and anxious to furnish
that, provided it was known that the planters had
at length fully determined to persevere in their
efforts to relieve themselves from the system which
looks to giving them but one market" in which to
sell their cotton, and one in which to buy their
cloth. It is the policy of Manchester to impress
upon you the idea that tlio cotton trade requires a
vast capital, but ns* carefully do the Manchester
men avoid to cail your attention to the fact that
the whole amount at this day invested in the cotton
machinery of England is not three times as much'
as your annual loss tor want of direct trade with
the world. In 1834, Mr. McCulloch, estimated the
value of buildings, machinery, and stock of cotton
on hand, at only twenty millions of pounds, or
ninety six millions of dollars, and if it has doubled
in the intermediate period, the present amount is
hut one hundred and ninety-two millions of dol
lars ; and that is certainly not three times as much
as you will lose this year by selling your crop at
7 or.Beents, when'you might have 12 or 13, and
you wfluid have far more even than that if you
would but determine to have direct trade with the
world. Your bales will average this year proba
bly 470 pounds, and this at 5 cents a pound will
give $23.50 per bale, making a crop of three mil
lions, more than seventy millions of dollars*; and
the loss is destined to become fur greater than this,
if yon persist in maintaining a system that renders
it impossible that your cron should have more
than one outlet, and that in tlie keeping of the men
of Manchester.
Seventy millions of dollars would seem to boa
large sum, and yet it is trivial when compared with
the real loss you sutler from your persistence in
the determination not to adopt measures of coun
teraction to the oppressive system by aid of which
those men constitute themselves the distributors
of your product. I have now before mo in the
London Economist of last month, a coinparitiwe
view oftlio prices of cotton wool and cotton yarn,
by which it appears that the cotton which sells at
4%d. per pound in Manchester, becomes worth as
soon as twisted 9%d. That pound has riot yield
ed the grower on his plantation more than seven
cents, and yet the Gcnran maker of cloth cannot
obtain it in Manchester for less than nineteen and
a half cents ! Look, I bog you, at this division.—
For the use of your land, your horses anil your
people, and for your own services for a year, yon
nave seveu cents; while the monopolist mill-owner
who buys his wool on Monday and turns it out on
Tuesday or Wednesday, receives twelve and a half,
out of which ho has to allow a small amount for
waste, and to pays most trivial sum for the labor
of the people who perform the work. You have
hero the secret of the sinnll consumption of cotton.
You liavo first to pay for transporting it from the
place of production, and in its most bulky form,
to Manchester ; next you have to pay innumerable
commissions and expenses ; next, the spinner
must have twelve and a half cents per pound for
converting it into yarn ; next it must pass through
the hands of the man who makes it into cloth ;
next, it pays commission on sales and purchases in
Manchester ; next, freight to New York or Phila
delphia ; next commissions, rents, and charges of
all kinds in those cities ; next, transportation to
Indiana or Illinois; and the result is, that the
pound of cloth which leaves your plantathfli at sev
en cents, sells to the consumer at forty, fifty, or
sixty cents ■ and yet all the capital required for
converting it into cloth has not■ been one tenth part
ns great as the capital you have employed in its pro
duction, and all the labor required has not been one
quart ras great. Nevertheless, for this trivial
quantity ot capital and labor the consumer of your
cottou pays three, four, or live times as much as
you receive for the large amount of capital and la
bor you employ; and it is for the purposo of com
pelling yon to continue to receive that sniull por
tion, anil to permit the Manchester man to live at
your expense, that Great Britain labors to impress
"upon your mind the advantages that must result
to you from having only one market in which to
sell your cotton, and one market in which to buy
yonfelotli and your iron.
Look, now, around your plantation, andvou will
see that by an economical application of the labor
power upon it, you could in a single year furnish as
much of it as would bo equal to your share of a
mill capab’c of converting into yarn a very consid
erable portion of the whole crop of your county,
and that you could in every subsequent year fur
nish as muck labor as would perform the work of
conversion; which would, therefore, cost you in
reality not a single farthing per pound, for you
would thereafter raise even more cotton with the
samahands that you now employ outlie plantation
• than yon do now." Why yon would do so, would
be that your horses and" wagons would, to a grout
extent, be at work on the plantation, instead of
laboring on the rood to drag the crop to market at
perhaps the most unfavorable season of the year;
that you would acquire power to make railroads ;
that you would have mechanics of all kinds com
ing to settle among yon; that the demand for
houses would enable yon to clear your timber
lands with profit to yourselves ; that you would
liavc*u large demand for food, and better lands on
which to raise it; that you would more nr.d more
feed that food tostocs and men, and would he cn
ali'cd to return to the land the refuse of its pro
duce, thus economizing that greatest of all tlie
crops, the manures; that your lund would be kept
in good condition, and the annual addition to the
value of the land alone, resulting from increased
combination of exertion, would be equal to half
the value of the crop you now make, while your
crop itself would sell for more than double what
you now recc.ve for it.
To enalfle yon to obtain combination of labor,
yon must place yourselves in a position to have di
rect trade with the consumers of your products.—
To obtain direct trade, you must have combination
of labor. Togive value to your land, you must
bring tlie spindle and loom to the side ofthc plough
and the harrow. To enrich yourselves you must
pluee yourselves in a position that will enable you
to enrich instead of exhausting your land. Head,
I pray you, the following passage from an article in
the i'uscuntbia Democrat, and see if you cannot
find in the fact that you allow yourselves little
more than one market "in which to Holland ono in
which to buy, an explanation of all the difficulties
of which it complains:
“ Seriously—for it is getting to be a serious business—
such a general scarcity of money has not been known here
for years. Why is it so? We think we can tell our far
mers the reason why. They are the cause of it— they are
at the bottom of it. They raise but one article for sale—
cotton—and buy every thing else. Cotton rises in price,
as it did last year—they go crazy thereat. Corn, wheat,
oats, pork, mu’es, horses, cattle are rated small matters—
are neglected. An immense crop of cotton is raised—it
falls in price. Provisions, supplies, Ac., are in great de
mand, and they rise. The means to purchase with de
crease—the necessity of purchasing increases.”
You need diversification of employment, bat
that you can never have while you shall continue
determined to close your eyes to the fact that real
freedom of trade consists in the exercise of the
power to sell in any one of the thousand markets
of the world, which Manchester free trade looks
to limiting you to having hut one market in which
to sell your cotton, and one in which to buy yonr
elytb, and that you would have in tlie world, but
one in which to do either, were it not that France,
Belgium and Kussia reject altogether the teachings
of Manchester free trade; while onrfree traders,
under the mask of duties for revenue, conceal the
little protection they dole out to the farmer and the
planter, because of their perfect knowledge that
were they to adopt in full tlie ideas of thcii Man
chester friends, their system could not stand a
single week.
The objects you desire to accomplish, and those
which Manchester would desire to see accomplish
ed, arc totally different. The latter would extend
the culture of ootton. “Is it wise,” says a speak
er at a late meeting of the British society of Arts,
“to rely so exclusively, as this country now does, up
on a rival and precarious source for that raw roate
ial which to Lancashire and other districts has
become of equal importance to food itself, and in ei
ther of wh'ieh a serious scarcity would be equally
ruinous ?” “At Bort Natal,” he cofitinues, “cot
ton of most excellent quality, and reasona
ble extent, might be grown; and in Australia,
cotton equal to tlie finest of the fine, and almost
withoutlimit,might beproduced. But last, though
not least in importance, in its capabilities of grow
ing cotton, is the great colony of the East In
dies, where, beyond doubt, cotton is indigenous,
and where for three thousand yean* it has been
grown."
Great Britain seeks every where to limit the
people of the world to the work of agriculture,
and her obiect in so doing is that of stimulating
the competition for the saleof the the raw products
of the earth, that she may buy them at low prices,
and for the purchase of manufactured articles, that
she may sell them at high ones. She washes to buy
in the cheapest fiurket and se.l in the direst one ;
and von who have to sell the commodities that
she "wishes to buy cheaply and those to buy
which she wishes to sell dearly, go to her for ad
vice, how yon can sell dearly and buy oheaply ?
Excuse me forsaying it, but there is In this course
of proceeding a degree of infatuation that even
you V ourselves will look hack to with wonder be
fore "the lapse of many years—because it cannot
be mauv years before there must arise astute of
things that will compel not only yourselves, but
the people of all the tobacco, sugar, coffee and
cotton growing countries, to open your eyes to the
dangers with which you are menaced.
The interests of the (growers of all these oommo
* 41

ditips are solidairt with each other. .If your neigh
bor cannot grow sugar ho must grow cotton. If
tho planter of Cuba lie driven from coffee or su
gar, Ire will find himself driven to cotton. If the
Brazilian be driven from coffee, lie will place his
hands where thev cun prow sugar, and if sugar
eon-re to bo profitable, he will grow cotton. As tho
Virginian or Kentuckian ceases to grow tobacco, ho
transfers his people to Mississippi or to Texas,
there to grow cotton. Every cotton planter is,
therefore, interested in the maintenance of the
prims of sugar, coffee and tobacco, and every ono
must inevitably bo injured by-whatever tends to
the reduction of tho prices of those commodities.
Every Manchester mill-owner is interested in dri
ving people from sugar and coft'ec to cotton. Your
interests and his are always directly tho opposito
of each other. Having satisfied yourself ot this, I
would beg now to remark, that while fftld has for
tlie last twenty years become more easy of produc
tion, und while tho substitution of credit tor cion
in the transactions of the world bos steadily in
creased, the quantity of gold that can be obtained
for a pound of coffee or sugar has decreased as
steadily as has been tho case with cotton, whereas
it should have increased. Ftvo-and-twenty years
sinco sugar would command on tho plantation
twice as much gold as it docs now, nnd fifteen
years since it would have commanded one half
more, and such too lias been und is the case with
cotton; and yet the decline.has only note commen
ced, us yon will havo reason to seo mid know with
regard to all these commodities before tho lapse
of many years. The causes of this nrc, in
regard to sugar and coffee, to a considerable extent,
the sumo »s those whioh havo forced down the
price of cotton. Tho British system looks to com
pelling all the people of tho world to compete in
title production of raw products, nnd it destroys
the manufactures of India, while it forbids the es
tablishment of mills or furnaces in any part of tho
world ; the effect of which is to compel the whole
lubor power of India and Brazil, Cuba and Jamai
ca, nnd all other countries capable of producing
sugar, coffeo or cotton, to seek employment in the
culture of those commodities; and tlie more they ,
compote with cat'll other, the richer she grows.
'Ve are now told of the prosperity of England,
mid the large consumption of various commodi
ties nt present going on is given in evidence of that
prosperity. In a number of the London Economist
now before me, I find tho following comparative
view of the consumption of March, 1552, und that
of March. 1851, the cause of which yon will readily
understand when you oompnre tho prices as giveii
iu the same journal :
Consumption. Prices.
1851. 1852 1851 1852.
Coffee, lbs. 1,711,340 2.688,818 455. 9<t. 89s. Od. per rat.
Tea, lbs... 3,975,365 4,358,322 o*. 11 J*d. os. Stl.per Ib.
Sugar, cwts 451,078 544.49 S SSs.od. 295. 9cl. per cwt..
Tire larger quantity consumed in 1852 costs the
“ consumer less money than tlie smaller ono consum
ed in 1851, nnd the reason why it is consumed is,
, that by tho British Bystem the 'producer is forced
J to give him this increased quantity without remune
l ration of any kind, precisely as you give away your
cotton when you have good crops, nnd then pray for
7 frosts and storms as tho only means of preventing
J. ruin to yourselves and your neighbors. Now, is
' it not clear to you that every decline in tire prieo of
7 sugar tends to induce the people of Brazil to substi
: tnto’cottou for sugar, while its tends greatly to
. diminish their power to purchase cotton cloth; and
( that every declmo in the price of coffeo tends to
. drive labor to the cultivation of sugar or cotton,
with diminution in the power to consume cither
’ sugar or cotton cloth l To mo it seems so certain
. tliar such must be the case, that I can scarcely im
-1 agino you can doubt it even fora moment.
Now suppose the peoplo of Brazil manufactured
J their cottou into cloth, instead of exporting it, is it
* not clear that they would consume more cloth, nnd
r that you would havo less competition for the sale
1 of cotton, and that both theso things would tond to
' raise the price of your great stnple? They nro not,
" however, permitted to produce cloth, because tho
’ manufacturers of Manchester hold ittobe.tlicirinto
-1 rest to crush all attempts at competition with them
r . for tho purchase of the raw material or tho salo of
1 tire manufactured one, desiring to have tho one
choap and the other dear—and they tell tho Brn
-1 zilians, as they tell you, that it would be “suicidal”
| for them to attempt to emancipate themselves from
! the tyranny of British ships and mills, through
5 wliicli alone it is to their interest to maintain com
’ merce with the world ; and yet no effort is now be
ing spared to substitute the labor of Europe for
’ that of Brazil, Cuba, and onr Southern States.
France set the cxamploof raising beet-root su
‘ gar, and the result of a few years of protection
lias been that tho domestic production now flour
ishes without any protection whatsoever, to tire in
[ finite advantage of French agriculture, as is shown
1 by the following facts :
j In 1880 the total production was only 18,000 tons, but by
1 1840 it had reached 51,000
Subsequently to this the duties on foreign and do
mestic sugars were equalized, and protection
abolished, notwithstanding which the product of
| 1850 rose to 75,000
And that of 1851 shows an increase of no less
than 20 per cent., giving 90,000
with every prospect of a further und still more
rapid increase. The financial returns of 1849 ex
hibited foreign sugar as supplying four and the
domestic only three-sevenths of the consumption ;
whereus those of 1850 exhibit tire domostic as
having risen to four, and the foreign ns having
fallen to three ; and those of 1851 must exhibit a
rapid progress in tlie same direction. An acre of
good land in the West Indies, properly cultivated,
will give 80 tons of cane, yielding 60 ewte. of su
gar , whereas an acre of beat root will give but 18
tons of root, yielding only 22 eivts.; and yet so
groat nro the advantages resulting from tho prox
imity of tho producer and tlie consumer, that the
sugar of Europe is now driving that of the tropical
countries out of market,
In Belgium" the manufacture of sugar from beet
root is rapidly increasing. In 1846 tire quantity
raised for this purpose was 195,000,000 of pounds,
capable of yielding 15,000,000 ponnds or sugar.
Since that period the cultivation has enormously
increased, and owing to grent improvements, the
manufacture is carried on with greuior advantage
than ever before.
In Gormany, the quantity of boot-root sugar
tnado in 1844-45 was but 16,000 tons, or 32,000
lihds. In 1850-51 it had reached 70,000 tons, or
240,000 lihds., being almost one half of the crop
of Louisiana, and with n prospect of even more
rapid increase. In Ireland, the cultivation of tire
beet for sugar is nowbegun, and it is likely to make
rapid progress, for that country is stated to bo re
markably favorable to its growth, tho yield being
stated on high authority, to he twenty the
acre, whereas that of Eranco is hut twelve tons.
I have now before mo a very elah rate examina
tion of the question of tlie advantages to bo de
rived by Ireland from the naturalization of tho
sugar culture, and the result is must, I
think, satisfy any one that the day is not far dis
tant when your fellow planters will find iu Eu
rope such a competition for its own market ns
must reduce the prieo very far below what it is at
present, and this notwithstanding the fact that
gold is becoming cheaper from day to day.*
Let mo ask yon now to look at the various ways
in which British policy tends to the destruction of
yonr interests. It destroyed the manufactures of
Ireland, but in return therefor it gave to tho peo
plo of that country certain advantages for tho snie
of their produce in tlie British market. Next, by
the repeal of the Corn Laws, it destroyed the ag
riculture of Ireland, and that country is now a
largo importer of food for man, whilst it has little
to sell except of that consumed by animals. By
this process the mat ket for your cotton lias been
largely diminished, as the poor pooplo of Ireland
nrc unable to consume even ono pound per head,
when, if they had the loom and the spindle, tlie
hammer and the anvil, by the side of the plough
und tho harrow, they would need twenty pounds.
Competition for the purchase of cotton being thus
destroyed, the next Step is to bo that of increasing
competition for the production of cotton, and that
will bo accomplished by the substitution of the
sugar of Ireland for that of Cuba, tho olfcotof
wtfich will bo that of so lowering the price of au
gar that Cuba, Louisiana, and Brazil will be forced
into tlie culture of cotton.
Again, chicory is now being cultivated on a
largo aonlc, os a substitute for coffee, and its pro
duction Is protected by a heavy duty on tho latter.
It lias become “an important feature in ICuglish ]
agriculture,” and cannot fail to become much more ,
.so when wo see that an acre of it yields two and i
one fourth tons of dry root, worth £27, while tho
cost of rent, lubor, seed, &0., is but £7 por acre,
leaving a oloar profit of £2O, or S9B per acre. The
effeot of this is seon in tho fact that the con
sumption of ooffee, whioh in 1845 was —
Pounds ~,,,84,000,000
and rose in 1546, ’47 anil ’4S to 37,000,001) ,
had declined in 1850 to 31,000,000, and in 1851 to 32,'100,000
You will now readily sec that while no effort is
being spared to supersede your cotton by the ex
tension of its culture, and by tho substitution of
flax, tho same process is now going on in respect
to both sugar nnd coffee, tho effect of whioh must
inevitably Detliat of producing competition in tho
production of cotton; and yet tho system yon main
tain tends to deprive you of all power of resis
tance. You are placing all the machinery for tire
finishing of your crop among the people who seek
to substitute flax for ootton, aud home grown
sugar and coffee for the products of your neigh
bors, Is this wise ? Must it not end in ruin ?
The system tends to ruin the auger planter qf
Jamaicaand of Brazil, and to prevent him from
obtaining the machinery required fp.r enabling him
to extract the sugar from the oane, and thus gives
to his European rival an advantage which must
result in the destruction of the sugar cnlture now
carried on by means of black laborers, thus de
scribed, as it exists among your immediate neigh
bors, in a recent journal,
“The hamUiati.n| exhibition, every where seen, of the
most important operations on sugar estates being left to Ig
norant negroes, operating by guess, is self-condemnatory,
and will, we are sure, be regarded by every sensible person
as a stronger argument for the establishment of agricultu
ral institutions of the kind we have feebly adumbrated,
than any wc could possibly adduce. On any plantations
the negro is engineer, sugar-maker, every thing; judging of
the syrup by spoon, liming at haphazard, and running his
engine half by instinct, partly from instructions from some
half-made engineer, and a portion by accident, In tliis
way is no inconsiderable portion of the sugar crop of Loui.
siana annually taken olf. It Is time these practices under
went a change; it is time that the planting interest of the
State would bestir itself, and make efforts worthy of it for a
prolonged and vigorous existence ; for any one who attends
to the subject must perceive that unless something be speCd, i
ily done, sugar planting for profit will be not much longer ,
attempted iu Louisiana. The culture of the beet is every ;
where extending on the continent of F.urope, and in Ireland
the experiments this year made gave very satis factory re
sults as to the manufacture of sugar from it; which will, no
doubt, be followed extensively in that country and England, i
This, and the continued increased production in the Kast i
India Archipelago, will cause a greatly increased quantity
of Cuba sugars to be thrown into ourmarkets; to meet ,
which augmented competition, we believe all persons prac
tloaiiy conversant with the subject will admit we are not in
the best possible condition. If, th-refore, there ever was q j
critical moment in the affairs of the sugar interest, the Ke- 1
sent is the one; but whether the planters of-tho State can I
be brought to believe it, and to take the requisite steps fcr i
preservation, we cannot undertake to sag. 0/ the fact, (
however, we have have pot a shadow of doubt.— Sew Or-. ,
leans Orescent. .... <
It is easy to admonish, hut it is difficult to obey
the admonition, when every step taken by the'
planter tends to throw power into the hands of
those whose existence depends upon increasing
competition for the sale of the products of the farm
and the plantation, and diminishing competition
for their purchase, Ireland purchases little sugar,
coffee, or ootton, because she has no diversification
of labor and never can hove whileshe is subject to
Manchester free trade. Portugal, Spain, Italy,'
Turkey, consnmc little sugar, coffee, or cotton.
Canada imported in 1850 but 7,000 ton* of sugar,
and but 500 tona of coffee, while her consumption
of ootton did not exceed four pounds per head, If
Manchester free trade is good, why is St that where
It prevails the oonaumption of Southern products is
so small ? Give Canada the protection ueeded to .

• Since writing the above, I have met with the following
account* of what has been and I* being doße la Ireland,
and i* now about being dona elsewhere;
“The operation* of the Irish Beet-root Sugar Company,
which commenced at Mouotmellkk about a fortnight back,
are described by the parties iatereited to have been vary
favorable. The average crop of beet-root In Ireland is said
to be J 6 tons per acne, while on the continent it is only 16
tens ; aud it ia now affirmed that the minimum yield of
saccharine matter ia T 34 per oeut, in raw sugar, whereas
on the Continent T per cent, is the highest, A further ad
vantage ia also said to exist in the cost of the process a*
curried on at Mountmelliek, where it averages £7 to. per
ton; against £9 per ton abroad, Or the other hand, tlie
price of the roots Ir Ireland this year has beea 15s. per
Urn, the Continental pricetoeing 19a. fid. Often tor next
year, however, have been made at 13s. On the whale, at
present rat*., the Irish sugar is aneged tube produced at
gIT per lon, the Conttneotal average bain* 111 18*, The
manufactory now at work ooit about gIO.OOo, It employs
160 laborers, hss tw* steam engine*, together as 4« horse
power, and works up about atlOtons of beet-root per week.
The Company propose te erect six more establishments
during the year, Refined sugar tat not yet been nude,
bat it» manufacture rouuueK* in a week w tw*,"
mer to their si !e, and they will need thrice tho
quantity of cotfcc, sugar, and cotton. The large
consumers of theso commodities arc found in the
protected States of tho world, Franco, Belgium,
Gcrmnuy, and Russia; and yet Manchester would
teacb you that your interests aro to be promoted
by tho general adoption of tho system that it has
baptized by the noma of “free trade,” and which
diminishes every where tire consumption of tlie
fruits of negro labor.
The people of Cuba are awaking to tho fact that
they cannotcoinpetc with those of Europe under tho
existing system, and tlre\ are now endeavoring to
protect themselves by theimportntion of Cliincso la
borers, thegain from which is statod already to have
beonalmoßt incredible. “His inveterate assiduity,"
says a journalist of tho day, “saves ten per cent,
from what has hitherto passed for necessary waste.
Aud if,” ho continues, “with the rivalry of negro
lubor upon tho island, tho Louisiana planter has
contended nt disadvantage, how shall ho sustain
himsolf against the ship-loads of orientals import
ed, oraboutto be, by tire ontorprisiug Spandiurd ?
“To skill the Chinaman adds assiduity. Ho is
nn indcliitigablo worker. Weariness, that foe of
industry, may pnrsuo, but it nover overtakes him.
He will condense the reluctant toil of a slave for
two days into one. He does not require the stimu
lating lush of tire overseer. His work is ns indus
triously as it is intelligently oxcutod. For tho
reckless, indolent abandon and passion for amuse
ment, characteristic of the African, ho substitutes
the Asiatio gravity and consistency of purpose.
His only passion is avarice, and it begets an unrest
ing dovotion to labor.
“And besides incalculable economy in tlie arti
cles of skill and economy, the Chinaman comes
commended bv suporior direct cheapness. He
contracts in California and Cnbn for a term of
years, nt prices varying from forty-five to fifty dol
lars. Ho is entirely satisfied with such wages. At
home he cannot earn halt the sum. Cliinu is a vast,
over-populous hive, withont employment for a moi
ety of tho inhabitants. -Tlie bounds ot tlreompire, it
will bo borne in mind, ineloso one third of the human
family. Huddled together in n compass so coiu
nnratively inadequate, mid so utterly the slaves of
despotic custom as to ho Incapable of ent' -orise or
social improvement at home, tlie people gladly
seize opportunities to escape, and establish them'- |
selves were there is' elbow-room, nnd enterprise j
to employ their individual intelligence ami energy." t
It, is, I think, scarcely possible to luok to any ;
portion of tire slave countries of this hemisphere t
without seeing that they uro all menaced by dun- t
gers such as they have never boforo < xporienccd,
and such as must result iu ruin, unless they can <
tnko warning from the past, nnd extriento them- t
selves fr om tlie yoke or men whose every feeling j
and every interest is opposed to their advance in t
prosperity or in power. Tire Englishman sees j
with indifference tlie gradual destruction or ox- s
tirpntion of tire peoplo of Ireland, yet ire congratu
lates himself that ho lives in a land of freedom,
nnd discourses most oloquently upon “that dark
spot upon the cultivation of American cotton,
which tlie friend of progress nnd humanity would
desire to seo obliterated,” und he assures his
hearers that there can be no safety for Manchester
while there is “ coercion of Inbor.” Ho holds that
the rond to freedom for tlie slave consists in the
destruction of the valno of the labor midland of
the .South, nnd that in substituting Irish sugar
for thru of Cuba and Brazil, nnd flax-cotton for
that of Georgia, he is rendering good servieo to
both God nnd man; and yet, when you desire to
find how to raise the value of yonr land and your
labor, you go to Manchester for advice ! The advice
is taken, and its effect is not only to stop the pro
gress of competition for the purchase of your
cotton, bnt to diminish largely tlmt which had
arisen, and then you send to the English market
ns many bales out of a crop of 2,850,000 ns before
you had sent out of a crop of 2,700,000, the con
sequence of which is u fall of price from fifty to
thirty dollars n bale, nnd a loss to tho plunting
interest of sixty millions of dollnrs; in return for
which.Munchestor feasts Mr. Walker, nnd compli
ments him as the great advoento of the system
which sees freedom of trade in the limitation of
tho planter to a single market in which to sell all
his cotton, and a single ono in which to buy all his
cloth nnd his iron.
While Southern policy tends to produce
throughout Europe competition with Southern
products, nnd consequent deolino of prieo, it tends
here to produce tho sumo result. The tobacco
culture is gradually passing from tho Southern
States to the Northern ones, and tho destruction of
tho domestic market for grain, consequent upon
the working of tho tariff of 1846, cannot fail to givo
a great impetus to that movement. Tho lend mines
of the West mid tho mills mid furnaces of the
East are gradually being closed, while tho whole
European market for food absorbs less than it did
seven years since; nnd the consequence is, that
wheat is gradually censing to pay tho former, who
is now being forced to look for othor employment
for his labor nnd his land, qpd tobacco pays him
well. Tlie Marylander grows less tobaoco, nnd the
Kentuckian diminishes his cultivation or tobacco
und hemp, and the people who were before com
petitors for the purchase of cotton next become
competitors for tho sale of it, mid every increaso
in tire number of producers, or decrease in tho
number of consumers, tends towards tlie reduc
tion of pricos.
It is impossible to study Southern policy with
out a feeling of surpriso that men so generally in
telligent ns are you planters should be able to
close their eyes to the fact that it looks to riveting
still more closely on their nocks tho chains of men
whose every interest is adverse to theirs, and to
separating them from tl'.cir fellow-citizens of tho
North, whose every interest is in harmony with
their own. Manchester rejoices at low prices for
cotton. Wc rejoico at high ones. Manchester
prnvs for high prices for cloth and iron, and that
)oth may be high, sho desires that there may bo
but one producer of either. We pr*y for low ones,
nnd that they may bo low, wo desire that there
may bo competition for thoir production. Man
chester desires that food may lie low. Our farmers
prosper when it is high, nnd that it may be so, wo
desire to mnken market for itnmong the producers •
of cloth, iron, coni nnd lead. Manchester has no
object that is in harmony with Southern interests,
and we of the North have nono that is not so, and
yet you of tho South ding to your enemies, and
enforce upon the whole Union a system that is
even more destructive of your own interests thnn
it is of those of your fellow-citizons north of Ma
son and Dixon’s lino; and licuoo tho discord that
so recently threatened tlie integrity ot the Union,
nnd that must inevitably continue to agitato it,
with danger to all Southern interests, so long us
you shall continue in the bolief, that freedom con
sists in having but ono market in which to soli nnd
ono in which to buy. Tire freeman may go to
many markets to sell his labor or its products,
whereas tho slave can go to only one, and in tnis
consists the sole difference between tho two. Tlie
free nation may have its ohoico of many markets,
homo or foreign, whereas tho enslaved fine can have
—as is tho cuse with Ireland and India ' at one,
Freedom is everywhere attended with prosperity, ,
and that such is" tho fact is felt by every man at
■the North. Tho South denies them that freedom.
It would subject them to n system that has ruined ,
every nation that bus been forced to submit to it, (
and then its people nro surprised at tho growth of
anti-slavery feeling, lffboy would put an end to
agitation, let them adopt tho measures that will
bring the cotton mill to theirown cotton fields, and
agitation will soon be at im end.
Sinco writing the above, I have met with the
following from tho Little liock Gazette, of Ar- ,
knnsns, in which arc the same complaints that wc
elsewhere see of the want of a diversification of
labor that never can he obtained while you shaft
continue to support Great Britain in her effort* to
compel you to make all your exchange,* In her
single market.
“ 'Ve mutt not forget that a proper regard to maua
fact tiring interests, an 4 ffi flue attention to the various
improved systems of agriculture, g . hand in baud with the
work of intoi'fea improvement. Every eilort therefore, that
may pc employed to perfect our knowledge of these nrle,
anil render increased returns to Investments more certain
and practicable, tends to pronfcte general progress, and
add to ■ r prosperity, We hazard the assertion that there
is somcuiing radically defective in the system of agriculture
as practised Ir our State. Why is it that our farmers, for
yettv* pa t, have been dependent upon the supplies of
provisions which are produced In such surplus quantities
ill more favored States I llo* heaven failed to visit ns
with genial shower*, and withdrawn the fructifying rays of
the summer’s sun ? Not so. True, we have for three or
fuur years labored under some disadvantages In rospeot
to the seasons, hut nevor has the want of these Messing*
been such as to justify us in expending oil of our means
Ir the importation of such articles of necessity os should
have been raised in abundant profusion at home. Thus
we present to the world a memorable Instance of ignor- 1
unce or improvidence. The agricultural Interest is the
only one of the great branches of productive Industry that ,
engages our attention, and yet we import for dally con- i
sumption nearly all our flour, large quantities of bacon,
now and thon our corn, and a host of other edibles, to the
production of which our aull und climate are as well
adapted as any other within the compass of the Union.
Now, what advantage does the culture of our great staple,
to an extent so great, aflbrd us, If we are compelled to ex
pend the entire avails which it brings to us in a foreign
market for th* necessaries of life, the articles of every-day
consumption? There is a screw loose somewhere.
must, if tee exjject to become a jirosperuu'i vsofih, direct
our attention more than we do to the production of such
articles us are necessary to our support."
Not only cannot you yourselves raiso the pork
nnd other commodities required on tho plantation,
bat the cffi-U of the system 0f1846 is now booom
ftijf obvious in the diminished production of those
commodities in the United States, mid the large in
crease in the price you have to pay for them. From
1842 to 1847 tho quantity of the “product of ani
mals” passing on tire New York canals nenrly
doubled, but since that time it has fullon, nnd is
now so rapidly falling, tlmt there is reason to sup
pose that it will net this year amount to more thun
the quantity of 1843, notwithstanding tho vast in
creaso of population. You are now selling in tho
cheapest and buying iu tlie dearest market, and
the result is shown in the complaints that so much
abound in yonr papers, und that must continue to
abound until you shall oomo to the conclusion that
protection to the fiunier aud tho pluuter, in their
efforts to bring the spindlo aud the loom to the
side of the plough and the lmrroWj is the speedy,
the profitable, and indeed the only road to that
freedom of trade whioh consists in tho exercise of
the right to go to anyone of tlie many markets of the
world, instead of being oom|>clled, in the name of
Manchester free trade, to make all your exchanges
in the single market of England.
1 pray you to reflect on these thing*. The inter
ests of the South are in danger from all quarters,
and look in What direction von may, vou will seo
that the danger is produced by that British policy
which looks to tW interposition of British ships,
British ports and warehouses, merchants and man
ufacturers, spindles and looms, between the con
sumers of Southern products and the producers.
Nevertheless, tie South clings to Britain, who*o
every feeling ia hostile to Southern interests, and
■hose every movement tends to the destruction
of the value o< Southern land nnd labor ; to the
impoverishment of the (and-ownc.r, and tlie dete
rioration of the condition of tlie slave. It Is surely
time that your fellow planter* should begin to ex
amine forthemselves, aud cease to permit them
selves to be led away by mere words. Sydney
Smith complained oft he “tyranny ofniere words,”
and assuredly there never was a case of it more re
markable thau that we we nowoxaroining. England
proclaims free trade as a means of obtaining ranch
agricultural labor in exchange for little manufac
turing labor, 'this is precisely wluit you desire that
she j rny not accomplish ; and yet when her Chancel
lor of the Exchequer proclaims her success, and as
sures his hearers that they are now enabled to ob
tain larger supplier of eotton and sugar, coffee and
rice, in exchange tor smaller quantites of British la
bor,you unite with himin landing British freetrade!
The day of trial for Southern men and Southern
Institution* is at hand. Nat a day passe* by that
does not bring with it evidence that it is nearer at
hand. Wlist is to be the result, should Southern
men continue determined to maintain and even to
increase their dependence, op people whose feel
iugs and interests are hostile to their own, may, tie
l think, readily bo predicted. It will he ruin*. If
theywouldavoid this, their only course is that of
making themselves independent by bringing the
spindle and the loom to the cotton fields, and ena
bling themselves to obtain direct trade with tho
world. The more independent they" are of the
North and ot'Kngland, tho larger will be their pow
er to trade with both, and the stronger will he the
tendency to harmony in relation to all. The jeal
ousy now exist!ug is evidenco of weakness. Make
yourselves strong, and all jealousy will pass away.
Before you can uo this, however, you must awake
to the mot, that it is the planter of the South and
not the manufacturer of Lowell that needs protec
tion.
In the hope that yon will see that the future of
the South Is dependent upon a oorrect decision of
this question, and that yon may bo induced to give
to it the full consideration which it merits, l re
main, d car air, with groat regard and respeot, yours,

The Whig Nominations of Florida.
The Whig StateCouvcntion of Florida assembled
at Tallahassee, the lfitli inst. Judging ft-om the
accounts that havo rcachod-us, the Whig party in
Florida is almost as mnoh divided as in Georgia.
A majority of tho Convention ratified tho nomina
tion ot Gen, Scott, while not on inconsiderable mi
nority persisted in refusing to give in their adlie
-s™®* pel. G T. Ward of Leon county, one of the
\Y lug delegates to Baltimore, was selected as the
candidate for Governor, and tho Hon. E. 0. Ca
holl, another delegate, re-noininatod for Congress.
The day alter these nominations were announced
Col. Ward roso in tho Convention and doelinod to
run os tho candidate for Govornor. His rensons
for declining the appointment, ns welearn from the
Floridian, wero three—“first, ho was not unani
mously nominated jscoondly,lie was informed that
others in tho Convention could bettor unite the
party ; and thirdly, he had that morning received
a letter from Mr. Cabell wliioh he read, nnd which
was of such a character ns to render his running
on tho snmc ticket with him outoftho question. The
lottcr announced that the writer was already betbro
the pooplo having been indorsed and nominated
by various public meetings—that undor nocircnm
stances oould ho support Gen. S.eott, and thnt the
Convention ought not to mako an effort to oarry
the Stato, oxoopt on tho State and Congressional
tickets.”
A dolegato is reported to have intimated that Mr.
Cabell should bo thrown overboard. Without act
ing upen tho intimation, tho Convention proceed
ed to change its sessions from tho Hall to the Son
ato Chambor of tho State House, and to sit with
closed doors. After an hour’s absonco, it return
ed, nnd ro-tiominntcd Col. Ward. No effort was
made to disturb Sir. Cabell.
The Presidential F.ioctors are Col. J, P. Sander-
Ron, Jndgo Thomas Kandall, and Major FinJov.
Tho Alternates are C. A. Mitoholl, G. W. Call, Jr.,
and Dr. Fisher. ’ ’
It maybe proper to add, tliat those facts are
taken from the Tallahassee Floridian, a Demooratio
pnper. Tho SoMlnel, the Whig paper at Tallahas
see, has not yet reached tts .—Sav. ltep.
' Look nxroitK you L*Ar!—ThoTditor of the
Constitutionalist Republic, of Augusta, Oa
wlio was a member of the Democratic Baltimore
Convention, denies emphatically that said Conven
tion endorsed or approved tho Compromise mea
sures. He was n member of the Committee that
reported the platform, and says that “tholan
guage used in the rosolntiona was deliberately and
carefully adopted with the express purpose of
avoiding any laudation, or any appearance of lau
dation, of the Oompromiso.”
This jg a candtd oonfoßsion, nnd sofhraswe
have been uhle to understand the moaning of the
resolutions alluded to, is strictly true.
Here, then, is an open avowal, by one who knows,
that tho Convention did uot ondorso and approve
the measures pnssod by Congress for tho settle
ment of the dangerous and' excitiug questions
oonneotod with tlie slavery agitation ; and yet we
and the friends of these measures, who stood by
the Union and the Constitution in their support,
are shamelessly told to mount this plutlbrm, and,

A Ship Sunk at Sea by a Wham.—A eorrea
pondont furnishes the London News with the
following narrative of u very extraordinary occur
rence :
“ On Tuesday, the English brig Crusader arriv
ed at C(?wes from St. Jago de Cuba, and landed
the Captain and crew of tho French ship Pauline,
1.0 Chevalier, master. It appears from the state
ment of the Captain, that on the 18lh of last month,
whilst on their passage ffom I’orto Bico, in longi
tude 40.10 West of Paris, and latitude 40.80 North,
with a cargo of sugar, bonnd to Havre, at about
11 o’clock, a. m. whilst under easy sail, the vessel,
a new ship of 400 tons, wod built and fonnd, was
struck by a monstrous wlmle on tho bow, and the
damage was so great that tho ship filled almost
immediately. . ,
“ Finding that nothing oonld be done to save
her, the Captuin and crew, consisting of ten men
and a passenger, hoisted onta bout, in which,
after stowing away a bug of buiscuit and a little
water, the v embarked, and in fifteen minute*
after the vessel was struck she sunk. For tnreo
day* hud night* they were toasiog about, not being
able to reach anv ship, but on the fourth day they
were providentially seen by the Crowder, and
rescued from their perilous situation. The Captain
speaks in the highest terms ol tho k l *}-* lo *?,* o **
liberality with which they were treated by nil 0 n
board the Crusader. None of those rescued nave
preserved anything and a* they .oito of
necessaries, tho French Consul, W. b*\iart I>ay*
Esq., has shown his usual kindiuy* *'iid prompti
tude in providing for their neceasitJ'jg,”
We reoently mentioned in tuo Courier that •
short time sincoa piece of the'/reck of a large steam
vessel, composed of sovonr e en timbers, and mea»-
uring twenty five feet Square, was towed ashore
near Peiiiiuin, Banns .lire, which was ascertained
beyond all doubt *.o have formed part of a large
steam ship, and was conjectured to have been a
piece of tho .ong-lostmyuorionslj-fhtedPresident.
A minu*e description 0 f the portion of wreck,
however, having appeared in t lie Shipping Gazette,
Loc Jon, tho ot’.ifdera of the President addressed a
letter to the Secretary of the Liverpool Underwri
ters’ Association, stating that the deaeriptiou given
does not correspond in any particular with lho
jonutriß-lion of tho President; thua leaving the
