Tho Central Agricultural Eooioty, to tho
Cotton Plantoro' Convention, of Alabama.
Tho Exocutlvo Oommittco of tho South-
om Agricultural Society respectfully submits
to- tlio consideration of tlio Cotton Planter’s
Convention, about to nssbmblo'in Montgome
ry, Alabama, tlio question of oflbrlng a sum-
clobl Indncomont to mochnnlcnl i kill to sup
ply nslmplo nndoflbellvomnclilnotogln,cnrd
and spin, on plantation, from flvo to ten
pounds of Cotton per hour, so as to provldo
ovory planter, who may doslro It, tho means
of converting, on. Ills own promises, Into yam
or twist, every pdund of Cotton wbjcblio shall
prodnep. Tho olemonts of such a machino
already exist, and all that is needed for Ha
production Is that Inducement whjch allberol
premium would snpply.
In Uio progress of society tbo objects of
pursuit bocomos multiplied. The dcflclon-
olos of yesterday nre supplied by tbo Ingen
uity ofto-dny. Eyory now ..combliiatlon, In
supplying existing demands, creating now
wants, and Invention in fulfilling ono want
creates anothor, This Is the progress of so
ciety—tbrtllo In expedients and rich in re
sults.
Tho Introduction of tlio culture of Cotton,
In Georgia, as an export—for It bad been
grown in sovoral of tho-Southern Colonics for
domcstlo nso—supplied tbo saw-gin, tlio 1m
vontlon of Nathan Lyons, to whoso mind, tho
olronlar saw, on a wooden cylinder, was sug
gested on seeing Whitnoy’s gin—wlro tooth,
in circles, around tbo Wood cyllndor—in op
eration In Savannah. ■ For n timo, Cotton
was prepared by toll-gfns Ibr markot—ono or
moro In a county j next, tho moro qntprpris-
Ing planter would liavo Ills own gin, nnd
clearing, perhaps, tho Cotton of ono or two of
his neighbors ns woll as his own. Now, tlio
Cotton planter constdors a gin a necessary ele
ment of his business nnd tbo cotton press lias
become almost as Indlsponsnblo a necessity,
Is this to bo tbo limit (tbo ultima thulc) Jtf

Apd multiplying Ills cotton bags, and conse

chinery which havo rondorod it so important

And this has boon tho work of hrit littlo more
than half a century. May ho not participate
in all tho benefits, whoso foundations rest on
Ills labors 1 Why shall bo incur so much of

cation-through soclotyl • „ •
In a brief period In tlio lapsoof time, tbo
annual production of Cotton, In tbo United
States, has risen from a few thousand to near
throo million of bags, and in proportion to
that Increase has become tlio dopcndenco of
tlio great manufacturer, England, upon our
slave labor tor hor snpply of Cotton—o de-
pcndonco almost involving tbo exlstcnco of
hor political, If not her social condition.-
Strenuous efforts havo been mado, and are
not yet abandoned, to relieve horsolf from
dopondonoo as mortifying to horsolf lovo as
dangorous to hor future prosperity and Inde
pendence. - But Great Britain is not alono.—
The Cotton splnnors ovorywlioro, out of tbo
slave holding States, profess to bo grieved
that thoy are dependent upon slave-labor for
tbolr Cotton aid it jvould seom, as Manches
ter and Lowoll are tbo jondost" oompl^lnauts,
that tho amount of grief felt at using our Cot
ton Is about in proportion to that of tho(r pro-
fits-—so that wo may ostlmato, with somo. ap
proach to accuracy, tbo amount of. Income
dorlvnblo, In a manufacturing district, .from
tho uso of onr staplo, by tho energy of its dc-
uunoiatlons Of slavery. Sed.hasrcl in ■latere
lethal is arundo,” Tbo lovo of mammon is not
oxtlnot, nnd our slavery carries a silent con
solation, if not reconcilement to Pharisaical
Philanthropy.
If our soil.and cllinato do not, .our slave la
bor certainly, does, placo-us beyond the reach
of rivalry in tlio . growth of Cotton. When
freo labor Is engaged hi the production of any
commodity, tho amount of labor directed
it la regulated by tlio relative amount of re
ward or-wages which tho price of tho article
supplies to that lahop. .Ip,.tho slavo-holding
States, tho great amount of existing shi\o-la-
rectcd to, tho proiluction o^CpttOn,

tho product of freo labor. Tho - character of
onr labor oohstltutos allko oar strobgth and
our weakness—our strength to maintain pos
session of tbo cotton markot—our weakness
to resist combinations against ns, whom all
tho world denounco and cherish. Whilst our
slavolaW secures a markot for onr great
staplo, thore Is a groat, perhaps a growing, in
security to remunerating price* to that labor.
Whilst high prioMWillaot taenia ourpre-
duetlon of Colton much bojrond tho natural

of labor is omployed in. its culture. And

In lossonlng our production, thoy are potont

planter, under theso circumstances, thob,
must mainly dopond upon his own energies
arid his own resources; What theso onofglos
and rosoifrcos arq, the history of tbp past

nowovor muoh wo afo habltnolly calumniat

havo given a sombre , hue to tho lights
through which many of us at homo look up
on tho future of onr condition, it is cortalnly

of tho world. Tbo States North ofus nro es

returns on tholr. invested .capital, and oxer-
clso a salutary lnflucnco upon prices—to
somo extent enhancing thorn, and to a great-
or extent dlvostlng them of tholr fluctua
tions, which, taken in all its bearings, Is per
haps tlio greatest evil to which Cotton plan-
tore are subjocted.
Groat Britain habitually Imports about one-
stxth moro raw cotton than sbo manufactures,
and, according to Baines, In bis history of
Cotton Manufacture, makes a profit often
pcr.cont upon tho exportation of a rertlon of
that excess to Havre. And sbo converts into
yam and exports about onc-flfth moro of tbo
amount of hor Imports of raw Cotton. This
is not tbo placo to onqulro Into the Means by
which sho Is enabled to monopolize so largo
an amount of our raw staplo, and to engross
so largo a profit by a moro transfer of what
sho cannot use at homo, across the .channel,
Jt js-inoro gqrmnin to tho purposo of this pa-
poY to Inquire if tho Cotton planters of tho
United States may not, themselves, spin and
export part of all of that excess of yarn,
which Great Britain spins hnt docs not mako
into cloth! Tho more direct end practical
proposition Is, may not Cotton planters look
forward to tho time when tho exportation of
raw Cotton wlll bo at rare as tho exportation
of scod Cotton was thirty or fbriy years ago!
There are not as great difficulties now to the
spinning and exportatton of yarns as existed
somo sixty years ago to tho ginning and ex
portation- of clean Cotton, Then tho Cotton
gin was in tho hands oftho patentoos, who
endeavored to mako a “great East India con
cern of it" by establishing ginneries at nu-
mcrous points In tho cotton region and coerc
ing (he planters to sell' tholr Cotton In tho
seed, by reftising'to soll rights to uso tho gin.
That scheme of monopoly, amounting almost
to fraud, was dofeatodby tbo ingonuitytof
Natlian Lyons, who, as already stated; Invent
ed the Saw gin. Now, nil tho demon ibr
ginning, carding arid spinning exist In machin
ery of almost portbet construction anil its
adaptation to tbo planter's wants is'alono ne
cessary to onablo him to spin his own crop at
iS%*nhomcstcad.
Tlio spinning of It, Is a distinct pursuit,
omploylng a distinct capital and creating a
distinct rind antagonizing Interest to that of
tho planter. Tlio saino energy that enabled
him to unite the glnlflhg out of hts crop with
tho production of it, will now unlto, In. his
own hands, tho production, ginning, carding
and spinning. And ho will find ^that lio will
add proportionally more to tho profits of hts
‘ .vestment by card!] ' — 1
Mr. Wobster nnd tho Compromise.
Mr. G. A. Tavennor, ol Alexandria, having
addressed Mr. Webster on tlio subject oftho
Compromise, has drawn from him tho fbllow-
tag reply, whtch is published In tho Alexan
dria Gazette;
Extract of a letter from a friend in Call-
" fornla.
San Francisco, March 2,1852.
I havo just returned from a Jaunt up tho
country on business. Wo left hero at eleven
In tho morning, on Saturday, accompanied by
\V.\.!m;!OTo:r, -ii’Mi .1RX-X two Mend», (who being desirous of scolng
In Georgia.' ns woll as clsowlioro, lias fully
proved that , negroes mako very good opera
tives, Arid thoy are rioiv employed 'sqccoss-
tally In mnny factories, and no where, it Is
loUovcd, has,thoro boon, a fiilluro In tho ap
plication of slave labor to fiicioiy purposos.
Many plnptora havo felt the importance of
reducing tho production of Cotton as tho host,
If not tho only, mcansof enhancing tho price.
Tho.chlof difficulty has boon to supply totho
pUnter • remuneration equivalent to tho loss
supposed to bo sustained by a reduction In
tho amount of hts crop. To card and spin
the Cotton at homo wM auch more thin
give that remuneration, sbotld tho reduction
of production amount to twenty or thirty
per cent nponhls ordinary crop. Tho reduc
tion in tho crop would not bo a necessary in
cident, though aprobablo ono, on its conver
sion Into yam at tho. homoitoad, bccanse it Is
confidently bollovod that tho planter wonld
bo prompted by a dear conviction that bo
wonld find tho greatest profit In growing no
moro Cotton than bo conld convert into yam
by his own forco; unless, tndood, ho shonld
call to his aid a portion of tbo wbtt’o rami
population, aborindlng In all tbo Southern
Slates, whoso condition and comforts wonld
bo Improved by becoming oporatlvos in foc
torlos. Those are, however, but littlo more
than matters of detail, which ovory planter
will readily docldo for himself.
Tho purposo of this paper bolng to suggest,
for consideration, tbo Incorporation, Into tlio
plantation systom, of an Important* economi
cal olomont, omtnontly calculated to sustain
that system, as Is humbly bollovod, and tm-
jarta now llfo to It, thoro is scareo occasion
to present a systematic conreo of argumont
to tbo Intolllgonco whloh Is respectfully ad
dressed.
In conclusion, It may bo romarkod, that
whonovpr Cotton planters Bball havo added
to the growth ofllioir staplo, maclilnory to
gin, card and spin for exportation, thoy will
ns cortalnly bo cnablod to undersell distant
mnnnfoctrirors of yams ns thoy havo under
sold tlio producora of Cotton as freo labor,
and they will bo in a position to dtsposo of
tbolr yams at prices which will snpply nnne-
tlvo diimand, with adequate remunerations
for nil tho Cotton which they can produco.
On motion of Dr. Danloll, of Savnnnah-
Tho fluctuations In tho prloo of Cotton have
long boon felt as a vory serious ovll to aU tho
groat interests of tho country, and plans havo
been suggested to snpply morosteadlhst pri
ces, to an extent strongly indlcatlvo of tho
provnlonco of this conviction. As a mensnro
calculated In Its tcndonclos to oxorotso somo
Inflnonco In corroding theso fluctuations, tho
Excoutivo commltteo of tlio "Sonlhom Agri
cultural Sooloty s ’ recommend to tho Conven
tion of Cotton Planters to osscmblo In Mont
gomery, Alabama, In May next, to offer a pro-
mlnm sufficient to stimulate tho mechanical
skill of tho world to supply a simple nnd ef
fective machino, calculated to gin, card and
spin Into any of tho nnmbors In ordinary nso,
of yam about ton pounds of cotton por hour,
which cotton planters may lntrodnco upon

Dear Sir .—I liavo tlio .honor to acknowl
edge tho receipt oi yonr letter of tho 8th Inst.,
nnd thank you for what you are pleased to
say of my fidelity, to great national Whig prin
ciples. I trust thoro Is not a man In tho conn-
try who doubts my approbation of thoso mea
sures, whloh are usually called " Oompromlso
Measures," or my. fixed detorinlnatlon to up
hold thorn steadily and firmly. Nothing bat
adoop .seusoofdutyledmo to take tho part
whtch I did tako, In hrlngltig about tholr adop
tion by Congress, and that samo sense of duty
remains with nnabatod forco. Iam of opinion
thaS thoso measures, ono and all, were neces
sary and expedient, and onght to be adhered
to by all frlonds of tho Constitution, and all
loversof tholr country. That ono among thorn
which appoan to havo given tbo greatest db-
sallsfoctlon, Imcanlho Fugitive Blavo Law, I
hold to boalawonttrolyconstltattosml,lilgMy.
proper, and absolutoly essential to tho poaco
tho coufttry. Such a law Is demanded by
tho plain wrltton words of tho Constitution |
and how any man can wish to abrogate or de
stroy It, and at tho samo tlmo say that ho Is a
supporter of tho Constitution, nnd willing to
adhoro to thoso provisions In it, whloh aro
dear and posittva Injunctions rtnd restraints,
passes my powor of comprehension. My ho*
Hof is, that whon tlio passions of men snbsld’o,
■eMJiommn aud.trtio patriotism aro allowed to
havo tholr proper sway, tho-public mind,
North and South, will como to a propor state
upon thoso questions. I do not bollovo that
tarthor agitation cab mako nny consldorablo
progress at tho North, Tho groat mass of tho
pooplo, I am snro, are Bound, and havo no wish
to Interfere with such things ns nro, by tho
Constitution, placod Under tbo oxclnstvo con
trol of tho soparato States. I havo noticed,
Indeed, not without regret, certain proceed
ings to which yon havo allndod, rind in regard
to thoso, I have to say, that gcnUomon may
not think It necessary or propor, that thoy
shonkl bo called upon to affirm,-by rosoluttori,
that which Is already tbo oxtstlnglnw of tho
land, That nny positive movement to repeal
or altar any or all tbo Oompromlso mcasnros
Wonld meet with any gonoral encouragement
or support, I do hot at all behave. Bet, how
ever that may bo, my own sontlmonts remain
qulto unchanged. 1 1 am In fovor of upholding
the Constitution, In tho gonoral, and all Its
particulars. I am In fovor of respecting Its
authority and oboylng Its Injunctions; and to
tho ond of llfo sbail do all in my powor to tal-
HI honestly and foltbfolly nil Its provisions.
look upon tbo Compromlso mcasnros as a
propor, fotr arid final adjustment of tbo ques
tions to which thoy relate; and no ro-agttatioh
of tboso questions, no new oponlng of thorn,
no offort to create dtssattsfoctlon with thorn
will ever rocolvo from mo tho least conoto-
nance or support, concurranco or approval, at
any tlmo, or nndcr any circumstances. I am,

says;
“Tho premonitory symptom of croup is a
shrill, sonorons cough. Tho patient is not
sick—has no lover, os often in a common cold
—Is lively, perhaps oVongttyorthannsnal; his
hands aro cool, his faco not flush, possibly a
sfiado pater than nsnal. Tbo solitary symtom
may last for a fow days, with no material tn-
crcaso or abatement, and without attracting
any notlco, snddently, however, tho dlscoso,
hitherto latent, bursts forth in all Its fatal fory,
and too often contlnnos Its ravages unchecked
till tho dreadful consummation. Tho remedies
for this symtom of croup tire simple,andJnmost
Installs perfectly efficient. Thoy are: a
mas tore ponltlco, or a strip of flannel dipped
In oil ortUrpcnttao, or spirits of hartshorn,
applied to tho throat and nauseating doses of
Hives’s syrup, to bo oontlnucd as long as the
cough remains. By this timely employment
of mlM agents, I unhesitatingly assert that a
multitude ofltves might bo saved ovory week
