The most remarkable cotton year known In
the history of llio United States, If not 111 tho
world. Is that of 1830-60.
In the year 1800 tho crop of cotton grow n In
the United States—about six years subsequent to
the Invention of the cotton gin—was 40,000
bales. In 1880-31 It two to 4110,000 bales. At
this period fears wore entertained tlutt tho pro
duction' would so Ibr execod tho demand as to
render Its cultivation unprofltnblo. In 1887-38
tho crop reached 1,801,40. bales, nud lit 1830-10
It for the first time reached 8,177,88ft bales. In
18ft0-ftl It dually reached 3,IV,,380 bales, andlu
18ft8-i>9 reached the Immense crop of 8,8(11,000
bales, and In thu year 1859-60 (the present crop
comiug forward of tlio growth of 1859) Is esti
mated at thu enormous umount of 4,800,000 bales,
thus doubling the yield In about twenty years.
Should the consumptive demand continue,, at
the same ratio for twenty years to come, It will
In 1880 require a crop of 9,000.000 bnles to meet
It. The Increase of tho African population In the
United Slut es only Increases about sixty per cent.
In twenty years; lienee thu quustton arises,
where is the labor to be obtained to cultivate sh
large a crop V Wo possess wild cotton lands and
the climate, but not the necessary lnbor. One
or two things must finally result—that Is, addi
tional labor of some kind will havu to be em
ployed, or cotton will ultimately bear so high a
price as to check Its consumption, or bring tho

other pnrts ol thu world luto competition with'
that of the United States. t

was twenty or thirty years since, the cotton crop
could soon lie doubled, nud the nrllolo prolltnbly

United States. We repeat, that this Is the great
clement In modem, wealth and civilization,
against which an Insane war has been waged
both In Euglaml and America fbr nearly half n
century, and which crasado, If successful, would
produce a commercial revulsion that would

The average value for the three years Is esti
mated nt tho rouud sum of $50 per hale, which
is rather under than over the innrk.
To explain—The receipts of the present crop
(1859-00)have already reached 4,800,0000 bales,
of which we have exported to Great Britain
2,419,000 hales; to France .*>48.000 bales; nud to
| m ve given the
* other ports
will take n
large excess over tho amount of last year. Esti
mating the weekly consumption ill Great Bri
tain at 42,000 bales, and the exports at 4,000 pur
week, will give 40,000 bales per week, which, If
continued from .May 4 to January 1,1801, it is es
timated will leave an excess of stock ot Ameri
can cotton lu Liverpool over tlmt of last
year of about 270,000 hales. But us the
demand in the uortb of Europe and oth
er ports will bo up to, If not In excess of last
year, the additional supplies, not being obtaina
ble direct fmm the United States, must he drawn
from Fsiigland. Under this view of the case the
excess of slock of American cotton In Liver
pool on the 1st of January next may prove to be
very little, If any, In excess of what it was on
the 1st of January last year.
Russia now contains about .500 cotton facto
ries, running about 400,000 spindles, mid em
ploying about 115,000 operatives, producing an
nually about 43,000,000 pounds of ynrn. nud a
corresponding amount of cloths, &o. Her mar
ket for cotton fabrics will embrace 03,000,000
of tier own subjects. Great Britain Is running
more than 20,000.000 of spindles. As soon as a
railroad is opened to the i’apllic, we shall find
both raw cotton nnd cottou goods seeking a mar
ket In eastern Asia. While tills Increase is go
ing on in England nnd Russia, France Is likely to

Now, hero Is the exposition put upon tlio Ten
nessee Resolution, liy one of the most decided
nnd zenlous Squatter Sovereignty presses of the
North. And, tlmt press regards the Tennessee
Resolution ut a complete and unmtaUJled abandon-
.. ., „ - ■ ircttioital pro-

her duties, nml Germany will keep j«co with tho
he nge.
The wnntn of Ainorlcnn mmmfuciurera Is esti
mated hy ninny persons for 1859-00 ns high nn
800,000 hales; 100,000 more ’.hnn tho estimate
given In our Inhlo. Hence, should they take
Hint amount, tlie stock left on hand thu 1st of
September noxt would be reduced to nothing.—
It must lie remembered Hint ft Inrge portion of
tho cotton cron in market, ns well n* lliat. to
come forward, In of Inferior quality. Hence, ns
large as tho crop bus been, thu supply of tine or
higher qualities of tho article, or from middling
upwards, will be short of tho dotnniid, nnd oilier
things being equal, cuiiuot full to command very
rdmuncmtlvo prices.
That tbe-comlng crop will provo ftilly equal to
the past Is hurdly to ho expected. It required ft
favorable combination of circumstances to pro-
duco thu onormons yield of 4,000,000 bales last
year, which may not bo realized the present year.
More uud elieupor labor Is required to bring
up the production fully to thu oonsumpttvo de
mands of the world. No agricultural product of
the same annual value ever equalled It. None
so hilly depends upon thu rusoureos of a warm
climate, and tho employment ofeonstant African
labor for Its development. There Is noue lu
which the trade and commerce of the clvlllucd
world aru bo largely interested. Million, of the
while races derive their food and clothing either
directly or indirectly hy Its transportation, man-
amounted to tlio enormous sum of .
about 8451,200,000 of which amount was taken
hy foreign countries, and *100,000,000 consumed
at home. .
While tho exports of cotton alone In tho past
three years have reached W51,200,000, all other
products combined, including the slave grown
articles of rleo, tobacco, naval atom, together
with specie, &c., have only amounted to *SOL-
000,000. Or by adding the slave products ullud-
ed to, the amount would largely exceed all other

articles combined.
Tho export! of 1859-00 we hava estimated In
the aliovo calculation to be the same In amount
lui they were In 1848-’59, or at least 8333/590,881
We have thus seen that that great staple bus

And this Is tho agricultural product leading to

If wo were n Southern man, we think wc.
should prefer even the Dougins doctrine of Squat
ter Sovereignty. Wo really cannot see tho sub
stantial difference between the -two. Douglas
holds the doctrine that the South have all equal
right to go Into the Territories with tlielr slaves.
The Teuucssee Resolution declares the same
doctrine. But Douglas says Hint after they thus
cuter tlm Territories they arc then subject to the
will of tlie people resident there, who may abol
ish slavery If they please.' Tho Tennessee Reso
lution denies this right 4n tronfr, blit lluit ls (Ul. It
does not nssert tlmt If the people of the territo
ries thall nttenipt to abolish slavery, or to Inter
fere with that description* of property to the
prejudice of the owner. Congress shall pro
tect tho right. Now, wlial does .the assertion of
a right amount to, ir you arc afraid to nssert the
remedy, If tlio right is Invaded? There is no
real or substantial difference betweeu such an
assertion of a right, and Its denial.
But this Is not nil tlmt esn he objected to tho
Tennessee Resolution. It ndinlts of a double

Under this clause of tho resolution, tho dispute
