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 tho progross of tho Cotton planter I Shall bo romaln content with wlint has boon acbioyedi Apd multiplying Ills cotton bags, and conse quently reducing thqir valno, lncrcaso tlio profits of ihosplnnors of Ills staplo in tbo ra tio oftho reduction oflils own 1 Hts Cotton has stimulated all the improvements in ma chinery which havo rondorod it so important an olomont of commoroo apd civilization.- 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 the toils and partakoso scantily oftho advan tages incldont to his staplo In Its vast ramifi 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, . .. . Othorcountry, 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 lncrcaso of our alavo population, thoy stimu late production abroad, whore anothor kind of labor is omployed in. its culture. And wlillstlow price’s oxortflso but littlo Inflnonco In lossonlng our production, thoy are potont in reducing tlio production of Cotton by freo labor. Tho flitnro condition of tho Cotton 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 speak In distinct and omphatlo languago.— nowovor muoh wo afo habltnolly calumniat ed abroad, nod whilst theso calumnies 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 truo that tho slave holding Btatos will not compare discreditably with othor States un der liko circumstances, In any ago or quarter of tho world. Tbo States North ofus nro es timated nndjndgod of by tho commorco and thrift of tliolr cities nnd tho number andnolso ofthotr foctorlos, without roferonco to the small por cent of thOIr wholo population, liv ing nnd laboring In thorn.

That society Is essentially Southern nnd agricultural, and represents a much larger nt Jionlo, which IS satlonary, Onr.advorsarleshordlnthopnhllo marts) thoy fill up tho highways; thoy comblno they control public opinion) thoy conSmam. the Press and exerciso,notulway, n jnst.nnd wliolesorao Inflnonco over tho opinion of tho fhetors who sell our crops. Thoy eat[mato our productions nnd, too often, regulate tho prices upon data mado for tho occasion. Wo do not. perhaps wo connot, comblno. Wo do not despatch couriers through ovory district to learn and report tho amount of tho incom ing crop. Wo cannot raise monoy upon .our produco, although, Immediately It passes in to tho hands of tho morchant or speculator, he cati ralso upon It tlio prlco ho has paid for it. Ifwo endeavor to Investigate tho pros- poets of future prices wo cari grasp only tho Information which the. speculator and tho manufacturer liavo prepared for tlielr own purposes, and wo 6oll onr crops with tho haste of an auctionoor gottlng off n cargo of WoBt India fruit on a frosty day. If thoro bo not, wltbln tbo powor oftho Cotton planters, tlio means of protection against nil tbo disad vantages to which their position subjects them, they may yot do much to lncrcaso tho 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 tholr plantations, to Bpln Into yam during tho winter tho cotton grown tho preceding season.

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.
