Mr. Editor: In a conversation some ti'mc since with a friend, on the price Of cotton, I mentioned to him my viefvs of the offcct of so many goods and provis ions being bought on credit, upon the price of cotton, and gave it as my opinion, that wc never could get a remunerating price for our staple, as long as we continued to get paid for it before it was made, and that I intended writing a few articles for your paper, in order to get the farm ers to thinking upon, the subject. Tho question J propounded to Pub lius, was intended only as an intro duction to the scries of articles, I in tended writing, and any man with half sense, could have discovered the object I was aiming at, for it was so j plain, that a wayfaring man, though a fool, could not have lnisur.derstocd me; I shall take no further notice of their otfension, as I have a perfect c&'nteinpt for those who have not selfde bnoiigh to understand what they read, and when pretending a ! reply to my writings, made an at-1 tack only on mo, and are too das-1 tardly to affix their proper signatures. !
