Everything relativeto our cotton crop,
■nd a market for it, is at this moment
deeply interesting to the South. We
take the following from the Charleston
Mercury:
The Cotton Planters.—The depressed!
condition of our great staple has led to
a variety of suggestions with a view to
iu alleviation. Among them, a Con
vention of Cotton Planters I *
commended, and upon this

which we deem worthy of considera-j
lion. With that journal wo are of the
withholding of a por-
would have a decid-
HK effect upon prices,
rould he a perfectly safe and
profitable operation to those
engaged in it. We do not, however,!
concurto the full extent in the Constitu-J
tionalist’s opinion as to over production!
If the present stock of Cotton in Great
Britain is compared with that on hand!
twelve months since, it will be discov-|
ered that notwithstanding the monetary]
and political revulsions in Europe dur-|
ing the past year, and tho consequent
derangement and interruption of busi
ness, the entire crop of the last season,
the largest ever known with but one
exception, has been consumed, and that
there is at present not four months* sup
ply at Liverpool, while the stocks on
the continent are extremely light. If
such has been the result under circum-
stances so unfavorable, there
doubt that a rc-establishment of
mand. Prospective considerations have A
>w comparatively little influence.
In conclusion, we would remark, that
there is a'class^ among ourselves that
can do much lor themselves and their
fellow cotton planters. They may sup

The process of reasoning on this
point is already familiar to the public.
It is unquestionably tiue, that if South

jplnnlntions that it is possiblo to
then the production of cotton would be
diminished and its price corresponding
ly advanced. The true difficulty is
there is too much produced, compared
withother plantation products. If plan
ters would diversify their labor, am!
thereby diminish the demands on the
proceeds of their cotton crops, they
would feel less of hard times. They
would be less dependent on prices ruf-

foreign goods be sold so cheap that spe

still safe, for the rate of exchange is nl-

cannot well be committed, than to as
sume that one who is a good lawyer,
and a fair politician; like the author of the

alone possessed by men, whose lives
have been devoted to the practice, and
