my duty to explain Iho Ituo object of that paper,
eo far ae 1 underatand it, and to elate more-
over, tho exact teiaiion that 1 bear to it.
While rlmklnirtt a few dnye tn New York on
my return front Europe, I mot with two of ntjr
friends, who wete cotton planter.! and the ex

in# fcaturca of a plan for restoring the trade
in that ataple, which ie tie a dual currency nf
anr foreign commerce, to •oureUiine like the elai
biliiy and uniformity which should belong to
an at tide performing a function eo highly ini.
porlant—a plan which would at the Mine lime
promote the inleraat ol the cotlun plauteie, give
to our eouthern banka that coulrul over the
foreign exchangee that naturally and rightfully
balonge to the Stales, which produce the eta.
pie upon which nearly all tho foreign bills of
theUuiied Slates are drawn; and by this meana
give a poworful aid, to the direct Undo of
importation and exportation, through our soullii
ern cities ut which all parlies among us take
eo deep an inlereet.
I willnow, very briefly,elate the anilines of
(lie plan, to which I have alluded, to far as my
views and opinions are involved in it.
I propose that the existing banks, in the coti
(oh growing Statea, should discount the notes
of cotton planters and others upon the security
of cotton, actually deposited iu a neighboring
warehouse, every piper being pur in piawssion
of the bank, necessary Id tho completeness end
security of us lien. 1 list tho notes should keldis-
counted ntOO days, with on undemanding, that
if the proprietor of the cotton determined not
to have it shipped to Europe in that time, the
note mutt be punctually paid at iu maturity, or
the Bank bo anlherixedto have Ilia cotton sold,
-holding the surplus, aller paying the notes, as
a deposits to the creditor the proprietor.
But ifthe proprietor determined tu ship his
cotton, which it is presumed would be the cose,
in most instances, ilia Bank should bo author,
heed at the end of the ninety daya to draw a
ninety day bill upon Europe against the cotton,
haring been el the time ofthe shipment, placed
in posse.lion of oil the documenle necessary to
make that •uthoriiy rfliiclivo, the planter or pro>
piietute retraining the control over the tunes
and lorme of selling the cotton, provided it he
sold iu lima to duelings the bill drawn against
it at its maturity.
This ie the whole sum and subetanra of the
f ilan, so fir as I have had any agency in it.
n setting down ninety days at the time the notea
discounted, and bills drawn should bave to sun.
I bare merely adapted whit I auppose would
be convenient peiieds, subject or coiiim to
such modifications u experience may sox,

This is a vary simple plan, entirely uninciun,
bersd With now or experimental machinery;
and though it aims to work no miracles, I will
point out in slew words, what I consider the
plain reaultaaiid obvious benefit* it would prci
•luce, to our banks and our cotton planters, and
our merchants.
It would place our banks on a more solid
fuitnduUou ihan any olber banka in the United
Slalos,by giving them n constant supply of

violation ofthe principles of free trade! Vei ily,
these are row lights shed upon the world!
Itecnuau, forsooth, the plauters choose to salect

the foreign manufacturers, as the extraordinary
course of some ofour journals on the sea const

suspecting—they must bo taught dial the plant-
or* constitute the first estate in ilia empire of
Southern commerce, and are not to bo driven,
nr fluttered, or wheedled, fiom their just pur
poses, by tho combined lores* of speculators
and editors.
I trust, therefore, that the proposed Conven

on fl>« market nt once, in qunntity r threo or run
times exceeding die existing demand fur in unr
avoidably producing nil extreme mild unnatural
depression in the prire. It is much moro tho
interest of die cotton Planter* and regular mer
chants^ that the price of cotton should be steady
and uniform, than that it should be occasionally
very high. Uut mere cotton epeculators have
tho sauio interest in the fluctuations in the price
of Cotton as money brokers hnvo in the deraugei
tnentatid fluctuations of die currency.
I was very much surprised, therefore, when I
•aw that your intelligent correspondent,' A Cot•
ton Planter' so very widely mistook the mailer
a* to ascribe to the 'Cotton Circular/ a design
to force • confederacy between the banks and
the speculators.' Heaven forbid the banks of
such a union*. Your correspondent would have
coiue much nearer the mark, iflie had supposed
that xhoul nine tenths of the assaults made up
on that paper, have proceeded directly or iudi-
reotly from this latter clasa of persons.
No banking operations can bs more legitimate
than that proposed by the circular. Deside* the
stabilUyjmd security it will iiupait to the banks,
it prescribes a safe, practical limit upon bank
circulation. A currency never cau become re-
duudaut, wldch is issued upon the principle
proposed, for every dollar of circulation ihus
issued, would represent the actual anuual income
ofthe country. This would not be a mere no
minal representation, as is the case when it is
said (hat bank bills represent specie. The cot
ton is actually there to tho full amount of the
bills issuod and advanced upon ii, when every
body knows that the vaults of all the banks docs
not amount to one fourth of llisrir aggregate cir.
cuV.ion. So that, in fact, every paper dollar re
presents only twenty five cents in specie. 1
•hall lie very naturally asked, 'if those uro your
views of our system of banking, how is it that
you signed • paper proposiug the tsiuoofpost
notes payable at remote periods?' I answer,
that my uutno was signed to the Circulate by •
friend, several weeks ofier 1 left New York,
upou the implied authority, derived from a very
strong and intimate personal friendship, and
from my known concurrence in the general
principles and objects developed iu that docui
msnt. The issuo of post notes, lie no doubt
considered a matter of detail, which tho Con.
yention would adept or reject as its deliberate
judgment should dictate. 1 am very sorry il
was suggested in the Circular, as il hi* given
rise to much of the opposition to a call of d
Conveuton, and is a measure to which 1 should
as at present advised, be decidedly opposed. 1
do not think the proposed post notes could pos
sibly be made to answer the purpose oft cur
rency, and as a cotton planter, 1 am sure they
would not answer my purpose.
As to the sixty million cotton bank, which
some lively imagination has foisted into the
Circular, the people of South Carolina do not
require to bo informed, that 1 am the very Inst
man, who would give it the slightest counte
nance. They cannot but recollect that in my
last annual messago—as Chief Magistrate of

PLOIIIlAKn-TOmn that a bank, that
e - would go largely into this hiiesiuess, would have
n cou, tent supply nfsHnling exchange, ofthe
mot unquestionable kind, that would render it
perfectly impregnable. So much for the imme
diate benefits this plan would confer on our
southern banks.
1 ho benefits which die planter wenld derive
from il would be, in Ilia first place, the prompt
conversion ofa large proportion or hie cotton im
lo cosh, as eoon «• it reached the tnatkel, with,
out selling it, and without asking any costly fa-
Tore of his factor or anybody oLc; for tho Irani,
action with the bank, however beneficial to the
plainer, would be conferring a favor instead of
receiving il. In tin next plxce, the plainer
would hive six months and a half or Mven
mouths, from the time lie received the advenes
upon his cotton, to avail himselfofauy favorable
changes iu the tnatkel, if lie should choose to
■hip ii to Europe. A bill drawn on England at
90 days sight, could never be presented in loss
than 15 days, ond often in not Ices than thirf
talo '
after its aale

added lo the two fixed periods or 9D days each
which Use note and the bill had to t un.

ler this brief exposition of the proposed
plan of restoring the cotton trado lo iu ualural
channels I will notice u few of the objection,
urged against it.
A great spprthemion is expressed, that this
movement on our aide, wgl produce cminter-
cotnbirmions on the other. Most assuredly,the
rhargon mode ognind the ••Circular.” and’ the
tone of the articles published in aotne ofour own
journals, are calculated tn encourage end invite
■och combinations. They charge upon ua hos
tile ond offansive combinations, tvften tvu pro
pose only tn asaome a defensive position, to re
sist such combinations abroad, aud to avoid the
necessity of glutting lha markeu in moments of
panic or temporary and unnatural depression.
They proclaim our weakness, olid exaggerate
the power of the advereary, es much as to aay
lo the European manufacturers, now notori
ously combined to force down the price of cot
ton, in the face or the most deficient crop ever
made, “go oil—gentlemen, regulate the price of
collou aa you pleaae, any effort made lo reeiat
you by tlio poor, dispersed planter,, will he im.
potent and credulous." inhere he either in-
lionslily, patriotism or truth iu Ihosostatements
and scutinieiile, it eacopca my perception. If it
wore lo come to a war of combinations, w liicli
God lorbid. it is utterly untrue, that we should
ho powerless in such u contest. We possess
the locks of Sampson. Unr cotton is absolutely
indispensable to tho manufacturing end com-
inerctal nation, of Europe, and hy withholding
- •'ng " crop we could sp cad starvation and
rebellion over ell the manufacturing portions of
Europe, mid cause tho lordly capitali.ti, so
much dreaded, lo cry out for quarters. A prcl.
ly story to proclaim abroad, that the produces
or onr annual oiport of §80,000,(100 ofa staple,
admitted la be equal to so much bullion—a sin!
plo too, which sustains nearly one half of the
entire commerce of England, me loo impotent
lo guard their own interests. If with such re-
sources, our pl-intcrs have been feeble, hucause,
is your correspondent justly says, they ere
widely dispe. sed—it is thojvery reason why they
should nreuinblo together, lo dernie Iho means of
controlling their own properly, which overy
body else lies been loo long iu the habit sf com
trolling, and using for their own purposes.
As to combinations abroad,they exist already,

fureveeu that monetary and commercial matlcre
could not mniniuin their ground fur any length
of lime, nod have dune every thing in our pow
er to caution tho public on this head. To oil
thinking parsons a crisis is inevitable,and every
day lends moro and more tn strengthen this cun-
viciiiill. A most material aud marked depres

chequer Bills have nearly receded to par. The
former havo fallen lo 9l).f for money, andOl 1-8
for the account, and tho latter havo been tuarki
ed ns low as 4s premium.
Tho weather oven is against an nmelioretian

to excite alarm; far although lha crops in the

lo which this country looks always with much
anxiety, limit also be n matter of uncertainly
Altogether Iho state of tho country iv quito dm

Il is now, too, quite ovident that Exchequer

will ha necessary tu rectify tho orrora and uiia,
chief occasioned hy the conceit and business like
proceedings of Lord Muntenglo. An additional
