iieve that the Constitution is a better
system of government than martial
law, and that reform in the civil ser
vice is a higher duty than rewarding
prospective partisan effort, by distrib
uting spoils.
By this course the party, I should
hope, would attain success. If it should
once more fail, as an honest, faithful,
patriotic minority, it will hold an tn-
portant position and exert an immense
moral power over the majority ; and
it may well wait with faith the inevi
table hour which will crown its fideli

it will have deserved. I am, very res

We may remark, further, that the
home trade department has been much
better than the India and China de
partment. Much of the strength of
Manchester has arisen from the excel
lent home demand, caused by the hi«h
wages and good employment prevail
ing all over the kingdom, and this de
partment still keeps healthy ; but the
news from the Eastern markets has
been extremely disappointing for ma
ny months, the goods shipped early in
the year, when cotton was 2d ttt 3d
lower than it is now, are barely cover
ing cost ; and the great rise that has
taken place generally in cotton values
on this side has not met the faintest
response in the East, and, indeed, the
China markets are much lower now
than at the beginning of the year,with
every sign of being at last fairly over
done. It we were to look merely at
the Eastern trade, it would be impos
sible to understand the strength ol
Manchester, for in former years it was
that department that gave tone to the
whole market ; but of late the home
and nearer markets have relatively in
creased in importance, and that to such
an extent aslto overshadow somewhat
the Eastern demand. It wouid be
unwise, however, to forget that, this
important element of strength is want
ing in Manchester at present, and,
speaking generally, we rather fear
that the trade doing of late is some
what forced in its character, and is
hosed more upon the expected scarci

to the large scale of receipts at the
moment, we should say that the high

remembering, on the other hand, that
the Agricultural Bureau reports 15 per
cent, less land under culture, and
knowing beyond all doubt that the
season has been a poor one, and the
yield per acre vastly below that of
last year, we should feel inclined rath
er to lean towards the smaller one.—
Our present bias, on the whole, is for
a crop of about three and a quarter
millions, or say fully a million bales be
low the last one.

the contiolling influence will be the

two or three months will be critical
for spinners, but after that we lean to
the expectation of lower rather than
higlrer prices.
Egyptian cotton, however, stands
in a different position. It has long
ruled far cheaper relatively than Amer

trade, has developed a vast increase of

These daugers grow out of and are
inseparable from the present organiza

foundation, its philosophy, its history,
and its leaders recognize military pow

official patronage as legitimate forces
in ordinary civil administration, and
now more than ever are they brought
into active exercise. The Democratic
party confronts this theory, and de-
n.unces these practices.
Founded upon the idea of local gov
ernment, jealous ot powers granted to
authority, taught that simplicity and
economy are essential to the honesty
necessary in republican institutions, it
maintains with more determined pur
pose that the military must be subor

which does not involve a large con

higher numbers, aud therefore we do

to a decided advance in price, but sev

to be considered. Spinners all over
the world are unusually well supplied,
the actual stock iu the three great Eu
ropean depots—Liverpool, Loudon and
Havre—is 370,000 bales above last
year. The amount coming from India
is much larger, and at the high scale
of prices ruling, we expect to draw
from tiiat country a large additional
supply compared with last year. Al
together, from one source and another
we believe that an American crop of
three and a quarter millions will ad
mit of a full consumption of cotton
throughout the season, and without
reducing stocks inconveniently low at
any period ; but it will require that
spinners part with the surplus stock
they now hold, and tiiat the consump
tion be thrown far more largely upon
East India cotton. The strength of
our market lias in the fact that a dis
proportionate consumption of Amer
ican cotton has taken place this past
year ; for it is impossible to see how
so large a consumption of that class
can be fed this coming year out of a
crop of less than three and a half mil
lions of baies. This we freely admit;
the actual consumption of American
cotton iu Europe and America the past
twelve months must have been nearly
4,000,000 bales (at one time last
year we think it was 40,000 bales per
week in this country alone,) the ques
tion is, how will this consumption be
cut down to three and a half millions
of bul-s during the coming year.* Our
town spinners show an unusual reluc
tance to substitute short stapled cot
ton ; though the margin of price is
much lower than usual between
American and Surat, they adhere
tenaciously to the former. We sus
pect that this cause will operate dur
ing the ensuing year (though with
perhaps lessened force if trade becomes
worse), and that spinners will only be
drawn on to Surat cotton by great re
lative cheapness, but on the Continent
we anticipate a tar larger consumption
of the cheaper material and a much
smaller demand for American. Continen
tal spinners always avoid high-priced
cotton, and we have no doubt they
will take much less of the American
supply this year, leaving us the lion’s
share of the crop. We further expect
that at the high prices ruling, Ameri
ca will be completely drained at the
end of the season. No stocks will be
left either in the depots or iu hands of
the spinners, and all this extra supply
will find its way to England. When
these considerations are taken into ac
count, we do not expect that any
alarming reduction will need to be
ma le in the consumption of American

American are trying to substitute
Egyptian cotton, and go on to finer
counts of yarn. Tlie last Egyptian
crop, large as it was, entirely disap
peared, only 15,000 bales remaining
in stock here before the new crop ar
rived. The present crop is believed to
be rather less than the last, and it has
to meet a great increase of consump
tion, and we conclude that, as the
year advances, Egyptian cotton must
rise considerably above the price of
American, and there may, at times, be
inconvenient scarcity. 'File great ex
pansion of the fine spinning trade
makes it imperative that the crops in
Egvpt should be rapidly increased, for
no other cotton can be substituted on
any large scale for the long and strong
stapled sort that comes from that
country.
Cotton Mills.—The Shipping List
says: “The spread of cotton manu
facturing industries at the South is
one of the most gratifying indications
of the times. The estab ishment «f
cotton mills all over the South would
add an immense valuation to the raw
material. This would be retained in
the country and distributed among
operatives and laborers of all classes,
who are required in and about manu
factories. These would iu turn dis
tribute it in purchases, and thus cre
ate a widespread prosperity. T-he
condition of the South, as respects the
employment of capital and labor, is
to be.on an entirely different basis in
the future. In the days ot slavery,
capital was invested iu large planta
tions and in slaves to carry them on.
There was little money to spare in the
erection of manufactories, and if there
had been, there was an insurmounta
ble obstacle iu the way of entering
largely into manufacturing. It was
the conflict between slave labor and
free labor. Slave labor was unskilled,
and, under slavery was incapable of
attaining any high degree of excellence;
free labor would not work, and s# the
South was confined mainly to the pro
duction of the raw material. Now,
however the conditions are changed ;
the old plantation system has passed
away, and free labor maps out a new
order of things. There will be, more
or less, a division of plantations.—
There will be a more productive sys
tem of cotton culture, more bountiful
crops, and larger cash returns for
them. It is not too much to say that
the accumulated capital will be liber
ally invested in manufacturing enter
prises, chief of which will be cotton
mills. A tide of immigration south
ward and the natural increase of pop
ulation will furnish an abundance of
labor, not only for plantations, but for
the mills. Now, the arts of produc
tion are in the rudimentary state, but
with that spirit of enterprise which
accompanies free labor, higher degrees
of skill will be gradually introduced,
and there will come a time when the
finest fabrics will be produced iu the

We have good grounds for believing
that the actual cost is not over 12 to

the war has been grown so economi

cheap in the South we expect a very
great increase of area to be planted,
and, should the crop get a favorable
start, we may be sure that Europe will
be treated to enormous estimates ol
future yield.
The feeling in America is at present
very sanguine, as is shown by the ex
