Under the operations of the United States |
Government, “tir cotton crops have Imre ;
toloic been sold for sterling hills on Eng
land, all ot which were j**!!ected iu North
ern ciiiis to meet the credits of rS utln*ni
uierchaius, who had previously juirclmsed
goods there and sold them to the planters.
This accounts readily for that great influx
ot specie into those cities at iheumunieiic
tm nt of iln* recent difticufti's. Neaily all
the st e i ling hills for.which the cotton crop
j,ad been sold were held in the North, and

ihit to support this army and sflMath
the g tvei nnieiit of onr choice is now our
highest duty, and the subject of our great
est concilia
lb\v shall these objectsbe accomplished ?
This is a question which has engaged the
profound'si attention of our stritesinen and
litiaiifiers. These investigations have re*
suit* and in ; ti admission of the fact, not gen

of war, as well as t lie eh in n sos prosperity

It is ilhi) cleaHy their right and dufyto
fake counsel foget her—io consider t he whole
question in a 1 its praesical operations, and
determine ft r themselves fww they ‘frill
raise the means, and to what, extent.
We tin rest re cordially invite the cotton

we want is a meeting of the cotton plan*
