The same address apprizes us, also, cf the
dogged determination of the whigs of Massachu
setts to oppose every reduction of the tariff of
1812, with all its sins, inequalities, end oppres

circumstances of great duress, that forbade the
adoption ol any wise and well-digestc d system.
It was passed by the votes of senators who pro
tested against many of its prov.sions at the time,
as unequal and unjust; who declared that they
would seize another time, and better auspices,
to modify its severe provisions, and lo do justice

Mr. Myron Lawrence, too, gave some good
advice to “those whigs, who were still whigs at

It is the “address of (he whig convention to
tho citizens of Massachusetts,” which d isplavs
the tone and sentiments of the party. It occu
pies nearly two columns ot small typo, and
bounds with nil the beauties ot whigery. It
dwells with particular emphasis upon “the load

“the enlargement of our already overgrown
territory, by the admission oi t'uo foreign Estate

Exposure of a Conspiracy.—There" was
tedly declared in her legislative hulls, and i > ihe
conventions ot her people, and maintained with
distinguished ability by her repre-eiitativcs in
lioili houses of the Congress ot the United
Stales.
“Massachusetts has uniformly declared—
and her whigs in convention assembled, now
again repeat the declaration—thnt it Texas is
brought into this Union, under color, and by
force of the legislative action of Congress, she
is brought in by a perversion of the powers, and
the prostration of the bit l war/. s of the Jcdcral
constitution.
“In this work, therefore, M issachusetts, as a
Stale, and her dolega’cd power in tho Congress
of tiles United States, can take no part, and hold
no communion ; and, if nccomplidit'd at all, it
must be accomplished by iho>o whose sense of
consliiution d duty, and consistency of conduct
and principle, differ altogether from her own.
“But Massachusetts makes no factious oppo
sition to this or any other act ofllie general go
vernment. S le has no sympathy with nulliji•
ration’, she passes no laws rendering appeals
from her own jurisdiction to the constitutional
authorities of the nation a penal offence : she
holds not, with tin modern cominaniaio.s on
co.istiiuUo.iul law, that erect/ violation of the
«.o»“Uiutiun is a dissolution ot the L.dan. The
whigs of M issacliu ietts hold no such d iclrine;
if such were the true l eading ol the cons:itu: ion,
Sue national government would never have
emerged from the imbecility and derangement
of the confederation, where the father of the
democracy origin d!y desired to place it, and
wou'd have been, in tru:h as Well as in theory, a
government dependent on the will of the States
ulone for support.
“But the national government has wisely
provided a tribunal, authorized to decide upon
ad mutters arising under the constitution and
laws of the United .St iles.
‘•To this august tribunal, though recently de
prived of the aid of her own distinguished son,
whoso days have closed in equal honor to him
self and his country; Massachusetts submi's
this, as she submits all other questions cf similar
origin und character, and will abide the result.

’ lion wttielt sundry papers wore endeav^ruig to
cstahlisli, that American cotton could be suc-
: cessfolly cultivated in India, and so much more
cheat ly than in the United States, that it
would soon compel the Southern cotton planters
1 to turn their hands to some other product. For
wnqt of the tlcju s.te facts, wo were at that time
unable to demolish the humbug so effectually
1 as to force its advocates to surrender, although
we believe we produced conviction in unpreju
diced minds. Since that date, tiie experiments
, then in progress in India, under the direction
! of experienced American cotton growers, have
been brought to a conclusion, and have resulted
| in an utter failure. The particulars are stated

COTTON—THE GREAT STAPLE.
We lay before the public this evening one
of tiie most interesting letters which has ever
appeared in the Union. Our regular corres
pondent in New York furnishes a clear, full
and decisive description of the result of the
celebrated experiments made by the East In
dia Company, in the cultivation of cotton in tho
the East. \Ve recommend it to the attention
of our countrymen, particularly of the South,
and respectfully advise the editors of newspa
pers to read and to replenish it in their respec
tive papers.
The English experiment in the East has
signally failed. It was made under the most
favorable auspices in diffbieul parts of India.
It has succeeded in none of them. It was made
under the eve often experienced planters from
the cotton region of the United States, with
the Lest Ann rican cotton seed, but it iins fail
ed 1 Nature forbids any serious competition
between the cotton of the East Indies and that
of the United States. The Southern portion of
our country stands unrivalled in the production
of a staple which constitutes the busts of the
most important manufacture both in Gn at Bri
tain and 011 the continent. Well might Eng
land struggle to baffle us in the annexation of
Texts, fur there sho would have plant<d her
lever. By her aid, and by her cotton planta
tions, Britain would have attempted to make
herself independent of the United States—
throwing her own manufactures into Texas,
upon terms that would have defied the compe
tition of our own fabrics ; and receiving the
raw material in return, upon better terms than
sho could have obtained the growth of our own
Southern cotton lands. The acquisition of
Texas, therefore, foils the most anxious policy
of Great Britain. It makes her greatest inter
est (the most important branch of her manufac
turing system,) dependent upon us. In the
same proportion, of course, it gives us every
advantage in competition with her. It gives us
wealth in peace, a d power in war ; because,
how can Great Britain continue lo prosecutes
a despciato and continued war, which is destin
ed to starve her own manufacturers ! Tin.
aequisi'ion of Texas thus puts us in possession
ol almost all the best lauds in the world lor the
growth of cotton and this is decidedly one of
the most important staples in every respect,
that can he cultivated by man. If we do not
hold the monopoly of the article, yet we pro
duce it of better, quality, and in greater
quantity, than any other country. We
may safely defy all rivalry in its production.—
Thus it becomes an unfailing source of wealth
and abundance—of prosperity in peace and
of power in war.
f et us further add that the acquisition of
Texas is not ouly of great value to the South,
but it is destined to shed incalculable advanta
ges upon tho North. Let the Whigs oppose it
as much as they please, or let the abolitionists
threaten even a dissolution of the Union. * Not
many months will pass away, before our Eas
tern brethren will appreciate and confess the
benefits which they receive. Is it nothing to
them, that a growing trade is thrown opbu to
their shipping f Is it nothing, that a market
is opened for tho consumption of their manu
factures free of all duty, whilst tho British fab
rics are subject to tho requisitions of our reve
nue laws ? Is it nothing, that our own minu-
faclurers have the advantage of enjoying free
trade in Texas, with 25 or 30 per cent, in their
favor, over the rival manufactures of England
or ofllie continent T But enough for the pre
sent. The remarks of our correspondent su
persede the necessity of any further reflections
uu our part, ond we again recommend his val
uable statistics, as well as his general conclu
sions, to evety reader and to every editor in
tbe country.
New York, Sept, 21, 1S45.
The Zenobia, which arrived at this port on
Saturday morning last, from Calcutta, East Iu-
dias brought home one of tho American cotton
planters, who some five years since, c mered
Che Service of the Hon. East India Company,
as a superintendent of cottan farms, in their
extensive experiment made to grow American
cotton in t! at region, and to improve the culti
vation of nativo cotton. 1 JutVebad much con
versation with Mr. T., who went from Mis
sissippi, and after having served the government
for five years, the term of his engagement, lias
returned as stated, in the Zenobia. He lias
Communicated to me much valuable and inter
esting information in relation to India.
He estimates the experiment lias cost the
government about >500,000, and that it lias re
sulted in the most complete and signal failure !
In ltsiO, an agent of the government came
to the United States, and repaired to Louisiana
und Mississippi, where the growing oi cotton
has been carried lo the greatest state of perfec
tion, and where he engaged ten Americans,
who had been employed in superintending cot
ton estates in that section of the Union lot sev
eral years. 1 hoy were well recommended by
Ihe 111 jst respectable planters. They left with
the age.it for India, \iu England,and took with
them large quantities of the best American co:-
ton seed, agricultural implements, eultun-gms,
presses, ice, iJcc.
'The planters were engaged at an average sal
ary of about .£300 each, with an allowance fa
subsistence of A'lOU more. Each , -en in
to a contract to remain in the sc ..j ti e
company five years, and to conduct . xix’ii
meals in such parts of India as the .. nnnent
should point out. Of the ten pei-s thus en
gaged, three after the lirsi year icti ...v,
being paid their salat ies tip to the li ne ol Lav
ing, hut wete left to hear their own expenses
homo ; while, according to the agreement, those
who r.'iiitii n il five wars were lo have ull their
from thcr.cc, at the expiration of tho semce,
back to the U. States. Seven of the party re
mained to tiie end of their engagement—one of
whom is Mr. T., who has just arrived til the
i Zenobia.
! He says, 011 reselling India, their party were
distributed 10 different parts of the Indian em-
| pin 1 , in order that tho experiment might be tes-
: ted in reference to the different soils and yuri-
; eties of climate in that vast empire.
1 One (Mr. T.) was placed at Calpec, in the
district of Bundelcund. Another was stationed
j at Goruckpore, under the N'apal hills ; another
I In Dooab ; another was located in Suomupore;
another at liautch, in liundelpore, another in
Coimbatore und at Surat, on the western side
of the peninsula.
After experimenting a year or two at each
I place, without a prospect qf success, they were
' changed to other localities, so us to give every
I district in India, as far as possible, a trial. Mr.
: T. was changed fiom Bundelcund to Rungpore,
Northern India—near the base, and in full
' view of the Himalaya mountains, which were
! covered with perpetual snow. Others were
1 changed to Dahwar in the southern Muhratta
country.
Tho American planter placed atRantc'n, du
ring a rebellion which commenced with the
Decovls, (robbers) had ins premises attackeJ,
bis bouses sucked and burnt, barely escaping
with his life and_tlie clothes he wore.
In every part of India, where the Americans
tried the cultivation #f gotten, and endeavored
tq instruct tho natives in the best mode of cul
ture they most signally failed ! ! Those who
remuiued, used every possible exertion to suc
ceed, as they were liberally paid, having every
facility granted that they could ask, with tiie ex
pectation of being handsomely rewarded if they
succeeded.
Mr. T. thinks two great and insuperable difr
Acuities, in the way of cultivating cotton
in India, arc attributable to the two great
extrernes-of dry. and wet weather; either ol
which is peculiarly fatal to cotton. During
the continuance of tne rainy season, the cotton
plants grow with unwonted luxuriance and ra
pidity, to be as suddenly checked and cut off’
by the intense heat of the sun, which pours up
on them during the succeeding dry' season.—
When the dry weather sets in,, the sun ripens
the bolls pernraturely, when apparently not
more than half grown; while the leaves of the
plant are crisped and burnt to a brown color
oy the intensity of the solar heat.
In lowei Bengal, the rainy season commen
ces late in May, and continues till October. In
central India, the rainy season begins about
tiie middle of July, and lasts till from the 1st to
the I5th of September.
Iu lower Bengal, as much as TO inches of
rain usually falls in 12 mouths. I11 central In
dia, no crops can be anticipated with much less
than 12 inches of rain. Eleven inches never
fails to-resull in a famine, which is dreadful in
its effects upon the natives.
In addition to the unconquerable difficulties
of the climate, the cotton plant is exposed to tho
fatal attacks of destructive insects. '1 lie re is
one, which lays an egg in the flower of tho
plant. Before the boil matures the worm forms
within it, which feeds upon the gieen and ten
der fibres of tiie cotton eating out all the cotton
within the boll before it matures ; leaving only
a lock or two in some boll--, or pods, while in
others, not a fibre is leff. In some parts of In
dia it is also subject 10 the attacks of vviiite ants,
which cut down the plants while young or at
tack :hu young pods, and cut them off,
All that the Americans could do, with their
best exertions only enabled them to raise, on
tiie average, about ten pounds of clean cotton
to the aero from the best American cotton seed,
and only seventy pounds of cotton to the acre
from native India cotton seed.
Mr. T. b. lore leaving Mississippi to go to
India superintended a cotton estate near Rod
ney, in that State, in 1S39, on which he raised
over nine hundred pounds of clean cotton to
the acre! Liu says, that year ho m ule a line
crop, actually sending to market two hundred
hales of good cotton, averaging four hundred
and fifty pounds each, from ninety six acres of
land 1 What a contrast, this, to cropping in
India !
Mr. F., one of the American cot too growers
who went to India, and was stationed at Grouck-
porc, put two hundred acres in cotton, from
wbich-ho gathered only two hundred pounds of
clean cotton. The mo»t those sent to Coimba
tore could do, was to raise, in a favorable year,
two hundred poun Js of seed cotton to the acre—
equal to about fifty pounds of clean cotton.—
The most Mr. T. could do, was to raise, tho
first year, ten pounds of clean c ttoti from Ame
rican varidty, (the best,) and seventy pounds of
native cotton,-to the aero l lie says that
American seed carried out from about Rod
ney, deterioated every year ; the staple or fibre
growing shorter, while the yield grew less.
It is his firm conviction, that if the American
seed Le planted over and over again in tho same
soil, in India, in five years it will totally cease
to mature any cotton whatever. Ho also says,
by Changing it to other districts, it may be made
to yield something a few years longer, hut
would ultimately run out.
Mr. Whitney, the projector of the great rail
'road from the Northern Lakes to the Oregon
Territory, arrived in St. Louis, on the 20.li
ult., from the Missouri. lie has been on a
tour of exploration df the route for this great
work. Leaving tiie.Mississippi at Frairie du
(Alien, he crossed over to tho great bend of
the Missouri, and expresses himself highly grat
ified with the soil and capacity of the country
to sustain a dense population, aial with the fa
vorable character of the route for the enterprise
which he proposes and urges with so much zeal.
The party—seven in number—are in excellent
health.

The State of Europe continues tranquil, and
there is no political news of ail important char

ease had prevailed to an alarming

active and to a large amount.

The fipe weather which prevailed at the date
of our last publication, continued uninterrupt
ed unt I 'l’hes.lay last. Since then the elements
have changed, rain has fallen in torrents, and
the mercuiy is still low. But the beautiful
weather which has prevailed during tho
last two or three weeks',has, in a great measure,
saved the crops ; Whotln r more propitious for
harvest operations cannot he imagined, and in
all directions the farmers have been taking ad
vantage of if. A great deal of tiie outstanding
wheat and oats have been secured, and if the
unfavorable change should continue, it cannot
be productive o'"’ much serious injury. But the
long continued wet, and the absence of warmth,
h ive operated injuriously upon the quality as
well its the quantity of the nc« crops. The
yield of the grain which has been thrashed ont
is light and of inferior quality, and the accounts
from all parts cf the country' on this head arc
nearly uniform. We have passed through the
ordeal better than could have been expected a
month ago; hut, owing to the inferiority of the
crons, and the almost general failure of the
potatoe crops here and elsewhere, die grain
markets all over the kingdom have been rising
oflate. This state of tliirgs has been influenc
ed to some extent, by the failure of the rice
crop in Carolina, and by the drought which has
injured more or h ss tbe crops in the Northern
States ; but mainly it is attributable to the gen
eral failure of the potato crop here and on the
Continent, and to tho inferiority of the present
as '■•ompared with former years’ grain. A
glance at our market returns will show how
far these combined causes have operated. The
probability is, that good, if not high, prices will
he obtained, during the ensuing winter, for
most'discript intis of food ; and although matters
would have been much worse if our home har
vest had been less productive, a number of oth-
f or circumstances—amongst them the floods
which have destroyed the wheat i'i the great
corn fields of Northern Europe, the valleys of
Vistula and the Elbe—will operate to prevent
cheap food'during the next twelve mouths.

a speedy and satisfactory adjustment of the

Tlic Result.
■ We suppose we may congratulate both p ar .
! tics upon one thing. Suspense, the most an
: noving of any other state, is now over. The
uncertainty which hung about the result for ff,,.
few clays past has been dispelled. McAllister
the Democratic candidate for Governor | r
been defeated by a majority varying from 1500
! to 1,800 votes. The oppenents cf annexation
g eh gn e in ■ ff' u friends of a protective tariff, the southern
Belgium, j allies of the enemies of the south, have placed
George W. Crawford in the executive chair of
Georgia. We do not hesitate to avow our be.
lief founded upon the most careful view of t) le
field around us, that for this mortifying result
our own friends are alone to blame.
That we have a decided democratic major
ity in Georgia, there is not the least doubt.-.
The great difficulty with us, is that while every
whig is certain to go to the polls, our friends
too often rely upon the strength of their prin
ciples, without making the necessary exertions
to have our entire vote cast. In this
county
alone, wc know of at least forty staunch'
democratic Voters who did not vote at the late
election. Judging from the returns in other
count'll*.: ih.* reniissness to duty secuu i„
have prevailed very generally among our
friends throughout the State. It is, howjver
fruitless to indulge in unavailing regrets of tj ie
past here. It is to the future we must look if
we wou J make the experience of the past val
uable to us hereafter.
To our friends, we have hut a word more to
say at this time. We call earnestly and anx
iously upon the republican party of Georgia,
individually and collectively, to look serioush-
at the attitude in which they have been placed
in .this State, partly by their own indifference
Can wc as Republicans — can we as Geor
gians, in view of the elements of destruction
which now surrounds us and threaten to over
throw the principles which have been taimht
us in otirybuth, and which the reflections and
practices of our maturer years have but
strengthened, look upon the future with Unless
indifference. If wc Jo, we wilt show ourselves
j unworthy of a belter fate hereafter.
For our own part we cherish the principles
i of the republican parly none the less on sc-
i count of tiie partial defeat which has oraria-
J ken them now. Ojt confidence is not shaken
I in their truth, nor have we despaired of f 6
eventual verdict of the public judgment. We
have been beaten, hut not disheartened; nor
should this trifling reverse cool our ardor. Let
us stand by our principles in clouds or in sun
shine unchanged by the ephemeral disasters of
the hour. The standard under which we mar
shalled for the late conflict, will yet display its
bright fields proudly and fearlessly in Georgia,
to flaunt tbe Heavens over a party victorious
powerful, redeemed and free.
