particular words are marked as by the writer
himself; and such, we repeat it, is a rapidly
growing opinion among the people of the
south. The time will come, when cotton plan
ters shall be many tim s more anxious for a
protective tariff than the cotton spinners ! To
the last, indeed, it is uow of little importance,
except to maintain the steadiness in the home
market; for they meet the British in fair and
manly competition abroad, and undersell them
in every market which is equally free to our
fa bricks and their’s.* This is *' confirmation
strong as proofs from holy writ,” that, while
they consume so large a portion of the pro
ducts of our planters, they neither demand or
receive any advance from the said planters on
the manufuctured article, over and above
what would be paid to foreigners, whether the
cotton was of American product or not: but
furnish them with cotton goods at such redu
ced prices.
The progress of the cultivation of cotton in
the United States, is, every way, wonderful
If any person had predicted, thirty five
years ago, that the crop of 1326 would have
amounted to 720,000 hales, or about 250 mill
millions of pounds, we should have put him
down for a madman or a fool —saying “go to
the hospital, go:” if any one had asserted only
fifteen years ago, that North-Carolina,
Tennessee, Alabama, &.C. should now produce
what they do, we could not have believed
him; if it had been said Only five years ago.
that Virginia would cultivate and send into the
market nearly 40,000 bales in 1826, we should
have laughed at the proposition ; and it it had
been suggested, that a crop of cotton should
be made in Maryland the last year, many would
have smiled atthe "notion.” llovv much further
north the cultivation will go, no one will ven
ture to assert; but Maryland, Delaware New-
J rsey and Illinois and Missouri, and perhaps,
other states, may v<tv possibly, furnish con
siderable supplies of cotton; and Arkansas and
Fb rida will certainly cultivate the plant as
ext nsively as it is cultivated any where, if
profitabl . The cotton producing region ol
the United Statesthus produces a vast tract of
land—capable, in itself, if cultivated as it ea
sily may be, sufficient to supply the whole
world with that valuable commodity. Ofthis,
and of the progress of its cultivation, the
planters -houlu take most serious notice. E
gypt is pouring cut new and large supplies for
the European market, and that country and
Grot ce, md the Greek islands, are capable in
themselves, of supplying all Europe—and pro
bably will do it, should the latter be eman
cipated and have peace- Labor is much
cheaper in those countries than in our south
ern states. A freeman muy be hired for a lit-
tle more than the annual interest on the money
vested in the person of a slave in this country;
and it is cost of labour and subsistence, with
the requisitions of government, that must for
ever establish the comparative prices of com
modities, not confined to the production of
peculiar climates. The immense island, or
continent, of N w Holland, also begins lotur
nisli supplies—and the land on this globe fil
te l to the growth of cotton, is competent to
furnish a thousand lime* more than its people
can consume; and besides, the cotton of many
countries (except as to the small quantity of
"sea-island” which we raise) is better than our
own. It is impossible then, that we can have
a>.d preserve a “monopoly” in the production
or sale of this staple Our cultivation has al
ready passed beyond the profitable demand. —

shews an inen ase of 150,000 bales, or more
th in one fourth of the whole quantity produ
ced in 1825! Can this increase continue 7 No;
no—no—indeed, no !
Cotton first began to be raised in 1789 or
1890, except as a garden product. In 1791,
w<- exported 189,316 lbs. 1,601,000 in 1794,
20,911 000 in 1801, a part ol which was of
foreign growth, for it was not till 1802 that a
discrimination was made as to its origin. And
out of these small beginnings w have risen
up to the production of 250 millions of pounds
in 1826 The quantity and value of cotton ex
ported has exceedingly fluctuated, and the
remarks which are applied above to tobacco
are also applicable to it, respecting scarcity
and supply. The following items are inter-
esting :

this interesting point. It is well known that
our own manufacturers were the chief purchas
ers in the early part of last season. We may
expect that they will require 400,000 bales,
in from six to ten years, unless destroye 1 by
some suicidal policy. When they shall reach
that quantity, about 150,000 bales, will be
made into goods for th3 foreign market ;
for it is just as certain to our mind as anv
almost every other future event can be, that
the British manufacture of cotton must de
cline, and many people will depend upon this,
instead of that country, for their supplies of
cotton goods. Some of the reasons for this
belief we set forth in the article published in
the Register of the 27th January, ult * Let
us however look to the present only. Can any
one fail to suppose that the domestic de
mand for one fourth of the whole quantity pro
duced, has no effect on the price ? We think
that every reflecting calculating merchant or
dealer, every one who has thought of what
belongs to scarcity and supply, production and
demand, would estimate this demand as equal
to 10, 15 or 20 per cent advance. Indeed,
the price of cotton exported in 1822, 1823 and
1824 shews this—tor in these years our manu
facturers were exceedeilingly depressed and
many of them absolutely ruined. Stop their
mills and looms, now, and cotton, if worth 8
cents, would tumble down to 6; and the (trice
of cotton goods would as suddenly rise at the
same or a greater ratio, and thus make a dou
ble loss to the American people, and a doubl<
gain to foreigners. No business-man will con
test the principle of this proposition—it rests
upon the natural and unavoidable rules of trade,
and is applicable to all sorts of commodities.
But admit that the present domestic demand
has effect to raise the price of cotton only hali
a cent per lb, or five per cent, on its value, and
this we think that the most obstinate and reso
lutely blind opponent of theta, iff will be com
pelledto allow as being very reasonable; then,
if the crop be 250 millions of pounds, the gain
to the planters, because ofthis demand, is
collccted—for it will he referred to below
These results, simple as they are, will not
fail to excite surprise in many persons ‘Who
would have thought it ?” But such is the re
sult of almost every investigation, or compari
son, of things at home with things abroad J_.et
us usefully shew this, in a case that is exactly
in point. If the importation of the U. States
amount to 75 or 80 millions, (which may be
taken as an avarage official value of them,) the
woollen, cotton, flaxen and hempen good-,
including all manufactured articles of these,
used for the clothing of persons, and for all
family or other purposes in which such goods
are required, will make up 21 o r 22 millions of
the amount. Now, if these cloths and cassi
meres, worsted and stuffs, blankets and ruggs
cotton and piece goods, printed, coloured or
white, nankeens, woollen and c tton hose, flax
en and hempen goods—worth in the whole 22
millions of dollars, be divided among the peo
ple of the United States, each person might
recieve almost two dollars worth of such good
in a year —some of which, however are not
consumed, being exported. Who cannot
‘draw an inference” from this?—that our peo
ple would be “clothed in nakedness," it they
depended on the foreign supply? The proba
ble value of such goods consumed cannot be
less in the whole, than 120 millions, which is
about ten doilars only for every person, includ
ing what i required for family and other pur
poses, never excepting cotton bagging ! ! P>u!
such is the effect of scarcity and supply, as
before several times alluded to, that the small
value imported interferes with the whole
quantity consumed—and ten millions wort;>
tnrown into the market over the amount of the
needful supply, will effect that supply more
than ten millions, extra, are worth in thorn
elves, and paralyze the whole business. ‘ Ev
ery good rule works both ways”—if this for
eign excess in articles manufactured produces
such imposing effects on ourselves, what would
be the state of the Europear, market for our
cotton, if we exported one fourth more than
wc now do? Let cotton planters calculate it!
Again, and further to demonstrate this opera
tion, and shew the importance of activity in the
market—when the late news arrrived as to th
transportation of British troops ,o Portugal,
flour momentarily advanced one dollar per
barrel. Now, we could not expect to senrhto
Portugal more than 2 or 3(X),000 barrels, ii
the present year, under any circumstances
The difference of value have been only 300,000
dollars; but that difference might have effec;-
ed the whole value of the bread-stuffs in all
the United States—the annual consumntion
of which, we are morally certain, is equal to
30 000,000 bids, of flour; so there would have
been a generally increas and value on every bar
rel of flour or bushel of grain which yet re
maned ini the United States for consumption,
had the rise caused by the expected demand
in Portugal been maintained, which was only
m the sum of 300,000! “He that runs may
read” and understand this ; no proposition in
Euclid is more capable of unerring solution
And who would regret this advance in price
to th farmers? Supposing they consume one
half of all which they produce, it would have
added several millions to the circulating medi
um ol the country, and every man, because of
the increased facility w ith which he might ob
tain money, would very gladly pay his own ad
vance on the cost of a barrel of flour. The
cash would all be among ourselves—not a cent
would he lost by it. For our own part, we are
perfectly satistied that wc can well afford to
pay 10 dollars for a barrel of tlcur (that being
the common selling price,) better than live,
& fifty cents per lb. for the cotton used in the
goods which we purchase better than ten un
less the appreciated prices shall grow out ol
actual scarcity in the domestic production.—
either would make money “plenty,'' and, in the
general stir of it, we should pick upextra sums,

the articles named an hundred times over.
And thus it is with every person engaged in
business. Our draymen would he glad of it,
and make a large profit out of such a state of
things. ■
But further; we assert, and Q&- appeal to
the documents* that the whole value of all
the woollen, cotton, flaxen, or hempen
goods, imported, and of all the mixtures of
them, of all sorts, sizes, shapes colors ; from
the dimensions of the finest thread to carpets
of many yards wide, has an avarage annual
value of about twenty-two millions a year.
Well—by the census of 1820 there were, say
8,000,000 of the people and 10,000,000 persons
in the United States. We shall, however, use
the latter number to avoid the shadow of of
fence on any accout whatever. The whole pop
ulation of the cotton growing states and dis
tricts (without reference to the amount of per
sons employed in the cultivatian of the plant.)
may be thus roughly shewn:
Oneeighth of Virginia 133,000
On fourth of N. Carolina 160,000
All South Carolina 490,000
. j All Georgia 340,000
All Alabama 127,000
All Louisiana 153,000
All Mississippi 75,000
Half Tennessee 221,000
1,699,000
“ All told” 1,700,000 persons, or 1,000,000
of the people of the United States. Now let
us suppose that the duties levied on the goods,
above described are really (yes really) paid to
the amount of thirty per cant, on the reported
cost, and it will appear that the whole revenue
divided from them may he 6,600,000 dollars ;
and then, if we admit the 1,700,000 persous to
pav their full and equitable share of the whole,
(which is admitted only for the sake of the ar
gument, for slaves are not made to contribute
through their masters, as free men do,) we
have 1,122,000 dollars paid by the cotton
growing states and districts, on all the goods
above described! and if we rllow that one
fourth ofthe duties collected is more for the
protection ofour manufactures than the gene
ral revenue of the goverment, the amount will
be 280*500 dollars a year, one fourth only of
the increased value on cotton because ofthe
tariff, at the exceedingly moderate rate sup
posesed above, and one fifth only of what Lou
isana directly and certainly obtain on her sugar,
through the tariff—“the accursed tariff”—or
an eighth part of th duties paid on that arti
cle imported and consumed by the people of
the United States, which is about $2,280,000
and would be $3,600,000 were not the sugar
ofthe state just named duty free! Who is not
surprised at these results? The suj ct might
he further pursued, and we shall probably here
after publish a statement to shew the opera
tionof the new tariff, and the extra amount ap
parently paid under it, on all sorts of articles.
It will amount to a small sum, indeed; but the
reality is, taking all the articles together, that
those which have been protected are cheaper
because of that protection. So much for the
law which an *’ honorable gentleman” iri hi*

would never submit to.”

Letter from Dr. Howe to a gentleman in this vicinity,
twenty-five days later than that which was published
last week.
Steat-ship Kateria, Syra, Dec. 18 1826.
Sir —My last was from Samos, dated Nov.
22 This vessel having been left there, to
cruise about for some days, after performing
this, without falling in with any enemy, re
turned here, on the 15th, and 1 am now able
to inform you of many things, of which I was
then ignorant, or which have occurred since
Athens holds out and will hold out ; the rainy
Reason has commenced, and must everyday
make the situation of the enemy worse. The
j garrison are well supplied with all necessaries,
|and we are under no apprehension for the
place. Cutuckis Pasha met with a severe
loss the other day, in an affair with Karraskai
kas. This commander as I informed you, had
changed his plan from that of openly attack
ing the enemy upon the plain of Athens, to
that of cutting off his supplies from a dis
tance. He had taken a post lor this purpose,
when a body of 1500 Turks, sent out by Cu
tuckis, had advanced almost to Salona. He
followed them up, attacked them in a defile,
kdled eight hundred, 'and forced the r main
der to shut themselves up in a Venetian cha
leau, almost without provisions ; and he now
holds them in blockade.
Ibrahim Pasha remains, with his remnant of
an army, at Tripolizza, entirely inactive, and
probably very weak ; though I learn with
sorrow, that twenty transport vessels, laden
with provisions and supplies, have arrived
safely at Navarin. No troops however, have
been brought him, and this confirms, what has
been lor a long time suspected, that the Pasha
oi Egypt is hardly in a state to support the
troops he now has in the Morea much less to
send fresh ones.
The expedition of Colletti to Euboea has
failed; hoping 1 to find the Turks oft their
guard, he landed and attacked them. But it
appears he was perfectly prepared for and ex
pected ; they fought, the Turks beat them
back and drove them on hoard their ships.
Thus ends the expedition of Colletti; from
which I had hoped sometfrug, for he is decid
edly a man ol talent, and his plan was a good
one; hut he was miserably supplied with
loo crippled in means to enable a
general to cxe ute a design wi h secrecy and
despatcfi H,- failure wdl much diminish his
influence, which until now, has been very
great, especially over the Roumeliotes Col
letii is a mad hard to fathom ; that he has
talents, none can doubt: else how, without
money, without tarnily influence, witnoul any
striking military successes, could he have

small number, are at Methina ; entirely de
prived of the means of supporting this body,
Government would have been obliged to aban
don it, had it not been for French philanthropy,
their committee having placed at the disposal
of Col. Favier, thirty thousand francs per
month. The conduct of the French people
towards Greece has been really noble and gen
erous; neither have the Germans nor Swiss
been behind. The safety of the countrv now,
as in the days of Theniistocles. lies in her
wooden walls. Mistress of the sea, she is se
cure upon the continent. This leads me to
mention the arrival of the frigate built in A
merica, and which has diffused jov among the
Greeks. I learn that Miaulis has gone on
board and taken her to A£gina, where the na
tional Assembly is now sitting. How she
will be disposed of 1 know- not yet ; the gen
eral wish is. that she may be commanded and
manned by Americans*—but this seems hard
ly probable. Government have received let
ters from Cochrane, dated Marseilles, where
he is making arrangements with the European
committees, for the purchase of a large cor
vette of thirty two guns, built for the Pasha of
Egypt, but which he has not the means of pay
ing for. Lord Cochrane’s expedition is the
sheet-anchor of Greece, <s* hope brightens now
into certainty. Something will be done in the
spring; the Greeks have already two of the
most powerful vessels that swim, in their ser
vice ; I speak of this one, and the sixty-four
gun ship. More will probably arrive this win
ter; and it they have been able, with their
little fleet of merchant brigs, to meet with the
Turkish line of battle ships, what may not be
hoped from an equal force.—Give us the sea
and Turkey may pour in upon us as many
hordes as ever did Persia, and Greece will he
as little harmed by them.
In my next 1 hope to give you an account ot
the operations of the National Assembly
which have just been convened at yEgina.
Meanwhile, l remain,

* The appearance of onr sqadron in the Archipelago,
impressed upon the people a h: = b idea of our navy. Th'
Greeks speak in rapture of the North-Carolina. Som
old hydriote sailors, speaking of her. said “ ive never
knew tvhat a ship was, before we went on board of her.
and we have seen the ships of every nation in the world.”
Whatever may heve been the policy of the govirnmcni,
in sending so large a force up Uij Mediterranean,
it has had at least the effect to heighten the reputation of
our country in Europe. I see mucb.of the naval officers
of all nations, and ean say tha‘ where our officers are
best known, they are most esteemed, I remember, tin
other day, to have heard some Brtish officers say, “Well,
to tell the truth and shame the devil,” I see nothing in th<
Yankee ships or men, inferior to ours. Then they ar°
really gentlemen ! strange as it may appear, if I had not
known them to be Jonathans, I should have taken them

England —The foreign news will command
the attention ot the reader—there has been
none so important since the battle of Water
loo. The charge of ministry—the elevation
of Canning and to the first places,
to the government of the Empire—both ofob
scure if not unknown parentage, proves that
England is closely approximated in fact ofthe
commonwealth—that the influence ol the com
mons has completely prevailed over that ol
the Nobility, proves more than this—that
the situation ofEngland is so critical-her trade
so much embarrassed, her manufacturers in
so suffering a condition, and her finances by
consequence, so much diminished, that tin
prejudices ofthe throne itself, w re obliged t<
yield to the force of circumstances, and con
sent to the elevation of ihe popular favorite.
Mr Canning, to th Premiership. George
Canning the illcgitir a c son of a strolling m
tresss, is King ofEngland in effect—the King
de jure and de no mine, is George Guelph.
Whatever cause the American people may
have for dislik.ng Mr. Canning—a cause in
some degree, removed hy his subsequent apol
ogy on the Liverpool Hustings, and though
their is no sufficient evidence, that the change
of ministry, will lead to a change of the Eng
lish colonial policy—yet as the friends of pop
ular rights, and as the enemies of Aristocracy,
the people of the United States have great
cause of congratulation at the elevation of Mr
Canning, His triumph is the triumph of the
neople of England over the titled few, whose
merit lies in their blood —of the Whigs over
the Tories—of the popular branch ofthe con
stitution over the Aristocratic—ofthe latant
Republicanism which always existed in Eng
land, which brought Charles I. to the block.
It is not an ill founded hope, that the triumph
of Mr. Canning will lead to the speedy eman
cipation ofthe Catholics, and the restoration
of oppressed and g< nerous Ireland, to human
rights and that the temporising policy of his
Predecessor will be exchanged for a firm and
decided interference in behalf of Greece. In
short, we hope a more glorious day has dawn
ed upon England and the world.
