It i* manifestly true, that in ■ far a* the J

tuncli better iu the tmd cott< n should decline, !
that tliwir affvan’ t’* should have been tn the plan
ter instead of the buyer ; for in the rare of the
former they have the estates of the planter to
protect them ugaiust and in the case of th*
Utter, they h>\ ® nothing but tbe cotton. And if
cotton should edvacc, tbu remit would be alike
to the Banks whether they held the L. ih he

And fortunately for him and the county, precue
ly that course of policy which is best calculated
to secure too good of the public, ie that which
will protect his own iutercsts. The ILirA* will
be more secure, their prollts will be just a* great,
the country will be best served, aud tbe planter
will he btst protected by the course which we
suggest.
To prvssnt the question iu a somewhat differ

value us the cotton to tLo buyer, m.cured only 1 y
the cotton Which is afer for the Banks 1*
Which is the twee for the country? Bath will
pay the same profits to the Bauk. Upon this
