Coffee and its substitutes.—The natu
ral effect of the pi-eseut very high price of Cof
fee is to diminish the consumption. At Cincin
nati the consumption is said to liavo faRpn off
more than one half sinco tlie late' rise, and at
New Orleans, a ^Vriter in tho Bulletin thinks
that the sales are diminishing more than ono-
third, or even olio half. Ho gives the avorage
stocks on the is<? %i February for five years iu-
that city, ut 20,000 sacks; now they are esti
mated at 75,000 to 80,000. 'With reference to
deficient cr.ops und decreased consumption
a correspondent of tlfe Cincinnati Gazette has
a word to say'. AHmilting that tlie yield of
1849,yin Java and Rio, is less by 800,000
bags than was that of .1,848, he reasons that
200,000 bags of this deficiency will probably

over in the shell in consequence of the low
prices of 1843, and that tho diminished con
sumption, in Europe and America, in conse
quence of the high prices of 1849-50, avill.be
equal to 400,000 bags; which two items will re
duce the deficiency of last year’s crop, in effect,
to 200,000 bags. The Gazette adds!
“In the country, we understand, the usual
substitutes for coftee, when prices are high,
hnvo been extensively resorted to, viz: ryo,
corn, barley, potatoes, and sasofras. In thi3
city, ut mostofthoretail groceries in the outBr
purts of town, burnt rye arid corn are now
regular articles of sale; and a mixture of about
equal purts of coffee, corn and rye, curefully
burnt, is exposed at some of the larger groce
ries in the central ports of the city, and sells at
something less thou one half tho price of coffee
alone. . This last preparation, we are told, is
not lit all unpalatable.”

ISPTho Washington correspondent oftho Bal

I have witnessed, of late, no increasing Bigns
of a disposition, north or south, to comprorniw
the slavery questionj on the contrary, I think that
Congress is further oli'uow than it ever has ikon
from conciliation and cornpt'fonise. There is
much less of conciliatory temper than hus bees
heretofore. ;. ■ ,
The northern men, who until recently, have
taken little share in the slavery discussion, hnvo
got up their blood, and are hurling fierce deli-
unco ut tho South. Horace Muun't speecli
was u declaration of war. He declared that
the North would not yield ail inch,even to.avert
tlio calamities of civil war.-—Thaddeus Steven;

It appears to niB that the North hah assume*
a higher and bolder tone tliun at any fiuvi 1 ^
time, and that tho argument on which they rfo
is the sword.
Gen. Cass’ speech in reply to Mr. Cle
mons was tho warmest arid ipoet eloquent that
hej has over delivered, and because it cam'
from his heart. If his was not the tone of do
fiance, it was that of despuir. He warned the
South that'heir threats had driven the Mb*
to the wall, and he declared emphatically, J 01
himself, that lie could not stand it- ! ||C .
clqims made by Southern men in behalf >'■
slavery, na an institution, he utterly repudiauJq
and, in‘fact, his whole speech consisted’^
objurgations against the South, and the expr Fi '
sion of a positive belief that the question » nil
lead to civil war. .

has road Mr. Cass’ speech as repbrtod in ^
Globe, snys—-
We do not regard it as of the ultra chai artn
represented. The expression P I can Stand 11
no longer” does not occur in it, w)r is there a")
indication of a disposition, on his'part, ultitns 11
ly to take part against tho South. .
