The war t of action on the part of Congress up
ontbe so e of taxation ean b« explained only
by r.-'er. net tj their >-hort sighted policy towards
tue producing c.as* U the country. When the
war commenced, they were left with the products
of n year's abor upon their hands, and no mnrket
to offer It in, while they set a out the production
of it crop of i rain ; and the mo t unfavorable crop
year tbe South husever known has again been
u eauce so prevent taxation. Hut can this policy
he lu- gar persisted in, without bringing ruin upon
the country > Do late acts rs legislation by both
.Stain and Confederate authorities itdicale that
our rulers dotnprth -ad the crisis that we are in ?
Is there wisdom m looking to a few days or a lew
months (onthe end of the war ? The Btate Gov
tr..m nts, seeing ihe high price and scarcity of
provisions, donate I. on jy lo tbe poor. The Con
federate Government, listening to the complaints
of the soldiers, that the buidens of war do not fall
aitke upon all, order into service the producing
class. Does ei her Government accomplish what
it sought to dot Do not the poor say, what is the
pittance you give tact of us, when the prioe of
corn is two or three dollais per bushel? Does not
the soldier say, wb it it the osner of twenty ne
groes, ia b mysiie; has he not his twenty ne
gro-« to labor for his family, end steal for them
seivt s ? But ho v differently would things be in
l':e country, if each able bodied man ut home,
white und i lack, had paid to tha Government last
lad a tax equal in value to the toil and danger
undergone oy asolJitr—not in money, for the
Government does not want money—but in grain,
shoes, leather, cloth, sugar, salt, iron, saltpetre,
potash, Ac.
Then h..w simple for Ihe Government to prs
vent extortion, not only upon itself and its sol
ein-iy, but to retail corn to half fed widows, whose
husbands saw their blood run like water from
ttieir mangled bodies, an.l with stoical indiff r
euc", nek. is l ut one boon—help my wife to feed

Hi wot of decision in Congress is the great
ev i<l the times; the men of th e country can
utlapt them Helves with g eat readiueßS to a change,
but perhups no p ;ople are more impatient under
Suspense; i.ui such is tbe indecision of that body,
th i it is m elief to the people when they adjourn.
A one line the proav.c rs would g adly have sold
Ihe . ottou crop to the Government at ten oents
tier pound; bat Congress had *o use (or it, but to
burn it Now capitalists «.re startled in their
dreams of wealth, by a bill in Congress to seize
all . niton in the Confederate Htatcs for the übb of

Tbe Government and Cotton.
Some of the politicians of tbe South still labor
ut <1 r the delusion ibnt cotton and cotton plantera
compose all that is Valuable tu tbe Confederacy.
Cotton is the tote pacificator to whom they ever
1 k. and the only security to whom the public
editor* can reler for the ultimata payment of
their govern nent bon Is and notts. Though tem
por. rdy and pros e and. t ey still regard King Cotton
us sov. reign, by nature, or “ divine right,” of all
the earth
v\ e are in debt to nur own capitalists live hun
dred m-lliou ; and we expert io owe a few hun
dred millions more yet—und it is desirable that
the public oredit be not only preserved but im
proved. Some wish n sneedy extinction of the
enure debt; others insist that all that is now
wanted to placu the public credit ou a substan
tial foundation and soon to elevate us proudly
above tbe other nntious, is simply u short uct of
Congrt ss authorising the Government to seise or
‘•condemn” lor public use, all tbe cotton now in
the country, and ail lo be grown hereafter, until
tbe object is 1 u til led—neyii g to tbe owner or
grower an arbitrary fund price—and thou, after
the war closes, sending It aorsad and selling it at
four Littles tbe cost, and applying the proiitg to
tlie payment of tlio public debt. I have not seen
any mgument, and therefore can only give the
rough outlines of the propos tion. Home propose
•to u low twelve cetus a pound for all cotton, with
oui regard to quality or location, then holding it
until t ie w ar coses, and selling it at lifty cems.—
By this moans, all direct taxation ntay be avoided
mid our public debt paid ut a few years—and wo
are to ns , like the fabled Phoenix, from the fires
oi the revolattou in full leather, a free and unen
cumbe ed nation. Charming prospect! beauti
lul anticipation 1 and then bo simple und easy of
accompli linn ut. Be idee, so fiutteriug to tbe
patriotic plan era—to receive a sort ot go ver
meil tut st .nip ol their superiority and respectabil
ity above all other citix-ns and men of baser pur
sues. Who would not aspire to be a cotton
planter ?
But 19 this ingenious financial scheme, the most
just and geueia in its operation that can be de
vised ? it must have the effect of a bounty or a
tax. Hit tie a bounty, then it is objectionable, as
class legislation— to which cotton planters are no
more entitled than the rice, sjgar, or tobacco
planters ; or the hemp, wheat and corn growers,
li a burthen, th-n is it on unjust discrimination
»g. i ist a class of ct'iiens as deserving as any
ovner, no matter what their avocation.
Ci tion, in tbe male, is the product o‘ slave la
bor , so s tobacco ; white rice and sugar are ex
clusively made by slaves. Why, then, limit the
urbiUvi v legislation 10 the one crop, ootlon, alone?
VV I v.not include the other two, and more also ?
To carry oat any suoh legislation will require a
gnat a ditiou to the swarm of office-holders—
tr d.tii.nully obnoxious to the liberty-loving
Americans—whose business it will be to superin-
11 ' and 'he i ffVrsof a people, taxed to pay for a sys
tem ot espionage, in every way galling to their
pride.
1 s generally conceded that negro slavery wag
theprominen cause of the war. Bat it wai th*
viiiiiv syet m that was mvolved, Rnd not merely
the slaves employed in growing cotton. If the
guver re-nt is really very solicitous to improve
its credit, and to provide an adequate sinking
lord, 1 irojose i-s a more equitable and certain
piau, an. one that does not include a foreign pur
chaser, the following :
Let theGovei nmeut seme every slavein the Con
federacy,allowing th* owners compensation,in the
bonds or notes ot the Government, at an average
value of five hundred collars tor each slave, then
se.i them at an average pros of eight hundred
dollar., und it that should be thought insufficient
foi ihe wants of the treasury, present and pros
peetn ■ , then muke the average value nine hundred
or a th. u and dollars. This mis applied to about
three sn.l a half million of elaTes, wilt nett n
handsome sum, say from a thousand to seventeen
bundled and fi ty millions Surely ihe 1 .st amount
ought to cancel our ent re war d-bt, and provide
j>, ...-iors U r invalid soldiers und widows and or
pbaus ot deceased sold.ers
i he hold, ra of Government cecuritiej will thus
become, necessarily, the owners of slaves; and
rln- .. w will tall alise on all slaveholders, and will
be les. kelv to produce Discontent than the more
pallia CPU'*] r. jtrt Mokals.

SwpFLT.~In u letter to the London Times, on the
cotton eupp'y, Mr. Lying, tbe ex-Chancellor of the
Exchequer for India, says :
I quite agree with Sir C. Wood, that the ques
tion 1s one of pr ce. and that if, for instance,
America was sunk under the oevan, and toe price
of lodian cotton iu cont-queDC permanently rais
ed to la per pen-d, India wouid uliimatrlv sup
plr us with *OOO 000 ba'es But ihe pract oil
question ia, cot what India might do und r hvpn
tbaueal cireumsUnces in five or six yea-e, but
what India ia reallv likely to do iu the uexi V ar
or two. Both the qual ty and the quantity p-r
acre of Indian co'.toa will doubtless increase. But
it would be a mistake to suppose that, under any
circumstances, the average produce per sore will
approach that of America. Mr Ruiselltils us
how the cultivation has been there conduot-d.
Irish labor was employed to save the more valu
able nigra, aud take the rougi edg* off ihe work
in clearing the jurgie ard draining ‘he ft-virali
iwamp. Then gangs o' negroes, working in brig
fcdes lika those of a regular army, were brougu
into play, with all the resource's of oaoital . od
machinery, to cultivate vast tracts of the r ch
eat virgin soil. Nothing of the sort can tuke place
in India.
European planter* wi'l always prefer the culti
vation of tea and coffee, which are much more
profitable than cotton, aud are grown at altitudes
abova tha sea much more favorable for Ear peau
constitutions. Even if it were otherw se, the
command of organised labor of the and scription
need in Am nca does not exist. The great bulk
of the Indian supp y of cotton will, theretore, al
ways, ai at presen*, be prawn by the ryots as a
lolation cicp. The aereable produce will, there
fore, always bear leu than in America. Hut al
though this it so, a vast quantity wilt still ba pro
duced by the cultivation of an sore ht-re and an
acre there, on the email holdi .g* of the peasant
proprietors of .« population of 180,000/40, who,
are mainly agricultural. This is purely a qaerti n
of prise. Let aotton sell on the epot io ihe riot
a a priae wbiob mikes it lus best paying rotation
orop, aud thera is ecaroe’y snv limit to the quoDt'-
ty wnich may ultimately be growu. Now, to ap
ply those dam to tb* practical stats o! things with
whieh we have to cexl.
In September last I wrreed ths people of Man
eheetar tha , to tbe best of my judgment, th-v
would not get, at tha outside, abova 1,600,000
bates of cotton from India for the next twelve
months. There stems no reason to alter that,
opinion. To produce an extra supp ! y of 1,000,000
baits at tha tcii-ing rate of proauc iou and auy
i>cr*&ee on it is prospective—would leguiru ai
l#vst 1.049,000 aces extra to bt sown witii cotton,
end, at toe ottou oic* can ouly be grown after a
rotation ol three or frur years, this implies that
Ihe *ultivators of 12,0j0,000 acres ot existing ara
ble ground, who have not.hitherto grown cotton
as a rotation crop, shall begin to do so. Lanca
shire may bektpt on halfrauons, aud saved irom
abxolut-e starvation, during the next two years by-
Indian cotton, but i ff actual «nd speedy relief can
only come from America. lam convinc'd, n'so,
that it li for the interest of lad a that tbe war in
Ainerioa should soon tei minute, so that it may bit
se*u to what norma price cotton wou.d perma
nently setile down. II America can again pro
due* 4,000,000 bales of cotton at 51. t. 6d. psr
pound, and so drive th* price o! Indian oottnn
down to Ad .other oreps wiil pay better in Isdia;
cottou wiL eeaae to be grown largely for r
tation ; and a large amount of capital, which can
ill ba spared, will baxa been lost, utter being di
verted from other purauug by the temporary
Stimulus giveu by high prices Bui if, as 1 think
more probable, Amer os, when lho war eens a,
cannot resume her lorntei production, India will
untiountedly supply the deficiency.
It is haxardoas to venture on an estimate in
sneh matters, but I sec uo reason to aber that
which 1 gave four months ago at M .nchester, viz :
L That for the next twelve months India o i;ht
furnish from 1,360 800 to 1,500,400 bales, but do*.
mere. t. That permanently, after time to extend
the eultivatiou and get over the fluctuations at the
termination of the war, India might supply some
where about 2,000 000 bales, with a permanent
average price ol C I. per pound Indian cotton in
Liverpool; aud 1,000.000 bales, more ar less, for
each Id. per pound, more or less, m the price of

when unacccmpauie-i by a correspoudiug life ana
