TEA HIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted -I- chicdy to Literature, but occasion ally finding room also for articles tha' fall within the scope of Science ; and not pro essing an entire disdain ol tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as it will cou tiuue to be, in the main, original. Party Politics, and controversial Theol ogy, as far as possible, are jealously exclu ded. They are sometimes so blended with discussions in literature or in moral sci ence, otherwise unobjectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake of the more valu able inattar to which they adhere: bu' whenever that happens they are incidental, only, not primary. They are dross, tolera ted only because it cannot well be severed from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor porated. Reviews and Critical Notices, occu py their due space in the work: and it is the Editor’s aim that they should have a three fold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths or interesting in cidents as are embodied in the works re viewed, —to direct the readers attention to books that deserve to be read—and to ware him against wasting time and money upon that large number, which merit only to be burned. In this age of publications that by their varivD and multitude, distract and o venvhebuu every pndiscriminating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inesti mable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him who does wish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or both; Historical sket ches — and Reminiskhcks of events too min ute for History, yet elucidating it, and heightuing ite interest—may be regarded as forming the staple of the work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is publish ed—sometimes of no mean strain—to man ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talent?of our country. The times appear, for several reasons, to demand such a work—and not one alone, but manyt The public mind is feverish and irritated still, from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasive influence of Lit erature is needed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and folly are rioting abroad They should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, in to their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an immense proportion of our peo pj e . Every spring should be set in motion, to arouse (lie enlightened, and to increase their number; so that the great enemy of popular government may no longer brood, like a portentmus cloud, over the-destinies of our country. Vnd to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent can be employed, than a periodical on the plan of the Messenger; it that plan be but cai ried out in practice? The South peculiarly requires such an agent. In all the .Union, south of Washing ton, there are but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five or thirty ! Is this con trast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste of the Southern people, compared with those of the Northern? No: for in wealth, talents and taste, we may justly claim, at least, an equality with our brethren m«l a domestic institution exclusively onr own beyond all doubt, affords us, if we choose, twice the leisure for reading and writing which they enjoy. It was from a deep sense of this local want that the word Southern was engrafted on this periodical: and not with any design to nourish local prejudices, orto advocate sup posed local interests. Ear from any such thought, it is the Editor's fervent wish, to see tue North and South bound endearing ly together, forever, in the silken bands of mutual kindness and affection. Far from meditating hostility to the north, he has al ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence; and h appy indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, by making each region know the other better contribute in any es sential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fraternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger has new been inexistence four years—the pre sent No commencing the fifth volume. How far it has acted out the ideas here ut tered, is net for the Editor to say; he be lieves, however, that it falls not further short of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fall short of Theory. CONDITIONS. 1. The Southern Literary Messenger is published in monthly numbers, of 64 large superroyal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and neatly covered, at $5 a year payable in advance. 2. Or five new subscribers, by sending theit names and S2O at one time to the edi tor, will receive their copies for one year, for that sum, or at $4 for each. 3.

Ts a subscription is not directed to be discontinued before the first number of the next volume has been published, it will be taken as a continuance for another year. Subscriptions must commence with the be ginning of the volume, and will not be ta ken for less than a year's publication. 5. The mutual obligations of the publish er and subscriber, for the year, are fully in curred as soon as the first number of the volume is issued : and after that time, no discontinuance of a subscription will be permitted.

Ga. 18- , a j?y3oN4*aj Q-A, '©CJPQBajB 29* &3U9, .'DOSftelSu'lSa To the Pditor of the South Carolinian. Sir:—The numerous and incessant de nunci..tions, to which the “Cotton Circular” has been exposed ever since its publication, and the misapprehensions in which those denunciations seem to have originated, ren tier it in some sort, n y duly, to explain the true object of that paper, so far as I under stand it, and to state moreover, the exact relation iha! 1 bear to it. While remaining a few days in New York, on my return from Europe, 1 met with two ol my Iriai.ds, who were cotton planters; and the extraordinary and arlifical state of the cotton trade, aud its consequent ex posure to the mercy of adverse combina tions. on the other side of the water, and of every great pressure iu the money markets, either of London or New York, became the object ol frequent conversation between 1 us. We concurred fully in certain leading features ol a plan, lor restoring the trade io that staple, which is the actual currency of our foreign coniine ce, to something like Hie stability and uniformity which should be long to an article performing a function so highly important—a plan which would, at the same time promote the interest of the cotton planters, give loour southern banks that eontrol over the foreign exchanges, that naturally and rightfully belongs to the States, which produce the staple u on which nearly all the foreign bills of the Uni ted States are drawn,; and by this means eve a powerful aid. to the direct trade of importation and exportation, through our southern cities, in which all parties among us take so deep an interest. I will now. very briefly, stale the outlines of the plan to which I have alluded, so far as my viewsand opinions are involved in it I propose lhat the existing batiks, in the cotton growing S ales, should discount the notes of cotton planters and others, upon security ol cotton, act- ally deposited in a r> i hbDiing ware hunse, ey-ry paper being put in possession of iho Bank, necessary to the comepleteness and security of its lien. I at the should be discounted at 90 days, with an understanding, that if the pro prietor of tfie cot'nn determine or not to have >t shipped to Europe iu that time, the note most be punctually paid at its maturity, or the bank be authneized to have it sold, boi ling the surplus, af-er paying the note, as a deposit to the credit of the proprietor. But il the proprietor determined, to ship hi , cotton, which it is presumed would be ihe case.in most instances, the Bank should be authorized, at the end of the-ninety days, to draw a ni.e.y days bill upon Europe against the cotton, having been at the time of the shipment, placed in possession of all the documents necessary to make that authority effective-, ihe planter or proprietor, retaining thecontrol over times and terms of sel ling the cotton, provided it be sold in time to discharge ihe bill drawn against it, at its maturity. This is the whole sum and substance of the plan, so lar as I have had any agency in it. In setting down ninety days as the time that the notes discounted, nrul bills drawn should have to run, I have merely adop'ed what 1 suppose would be convenient ceriods. subject of course to such modifications as experience may suggest. Tiii.s is a very simple plan, entirely uti iiicumberned with new or experimental machinery; aud though it aims to work no miracles. 1 wiii point out in a few words, what 1 consider the plain lesultsand obvious benefits it would produce, to our banks, and our cetton planters, and our merchants. It would place our banks on a more solid foundation than any other banks in the IJ .States, by giving them a constant supply of foreign exchange. For example. ] send my cotton to Charleston, at any convenient pe riods, 1 app'v to one of our banks, to dis count my note at 90days, upon the security of that portion of my cotton ac’ually in the ware house instead of personal security, the bank having the cotton inspected, its cur rent value estimated bv competent judges, and discounting my note for siitli an amount as will render the transaction perfectly safe. At the end of the 9J days, 1 pay off my note, not in the bills of the bank iiseif, which it cannot convert into specie, but iu an un questionable bill of exchange on London, which I autlior ; ze it to draw, payable 90 days after sioht, on Baring, Brothers A Cos . with whose bouse in Liverpool, 1 have in the mean lim-e, caused my cotton to be deposi ted, subject to the lien of the bank. Now. e7ery well infomed banker knows that, a bill if exchange upon London, is to a bank here, equivalent to so much specie in its vaults. For all practical purpose, there fore, I pay off my note to the bank in specie. It follows that a bank, that would go largely into this business, would have a constant supply of sterling exchange, of the most unquestionable kind, that would render it perfectly impregnable. So much for tl e immediate benefits this plan wou’d confer on our southern banks. The benefits which the planter would de rive from it would be, in ihe first place, the prompt convertion of a larce proportion of his cotton into cash, as soon as it leached the market, without selling it, and without asking any costly favors of his factor or any body else; for the transaction with the bank, howevpr, beneficial to the planter, would be conferring a favor instead of receiving it. In the next place, the planter would have six months and a half or seven months, from the ti ne he received the advance upon his cotton, to avail himself of any lav rablt changes in the ma’ket, if he should cln ose to ship jt to Europe. A bill drawn on Eng land 90 days sight, could nevtr be presented in less than 15 days, aud often in not less than thirty, afte its sale here; so that this much would be added to the two fixed periods of 90 days cash, which the note and the hill had to run. But another would result to the planter, from the proposed plan, less direct, but not less important—an advantage, in which every class, on both sides of the water, would largely participate. That, advantage is, its strong tendency to prevent the extravagant fluctuations in the price of cotton, «e have heretofiire experienced so ruinous to all con cerned, by taking the cotton trade, to a very great extent, out of the hands of mere spec ulators. who generally, have very little capi tal, and rely almost entirely on bank credits for the means of operating. The people have no idea how large a portion of our toUon crop accumulate every year, in tb» liauds of speculators, on both sides of the Atlantic. I was informed by out el ih< first bankers in Kuglaud, that it was a com mon occurrence, for « cotton broker, w .tli a capital of r£20,000 to have on hand cotton to the amount of c£200,000. The matter is even worse in this country. A speculator who s an by any means, get a credit in our banks, for $20,000, by repeating the opera tions of purchasing and drawing rapidly, can soon have in his passesion cotton to the amount of $200,000; resting on no oihpr basis ti.an the original bank loan of $20,000. While trade is seemingly prosperous, money abundant, and loans easily obtained, this accumulation of cotton in the bands ol spec lators and brokers, undoubtedly tends to enhance the price. But the moment thee ncci rs a pressure in the money market, and the banks have to call iu their debts and curtail their discounts, the whole of *his accup illation, of cotton is necessarily forced upon the market ai once, iu quantity, three or four times exceeding the existing demand fur it; unavoidably producing an extreme and unnatural depressing in the price. It is much more interest of the cotton planters and regular meichants, that tin ptice of cotton should be steady and uni form, than that it should be very high. But mere cotton speculators have the same interest iu ihe fluctuations in the price ol cotton, as money brokers have in the derangement and fluctuations of the currency 1 was very much surprised, therefore, when f saw that your intelligent correspon dent, “H Cotton Planter," so verv widely mistook the matter, as to ascribe to the “C otton Circular,” a design to foi.ee a con federacy between the banks and the Spec ulators! Heaven forbid toe banns of such union. Your correspondent would have come much nearer the mark, if he had sup posed about nine tenths of the assault made upon that paper, have proceeded di rectly or indirectly from this latter class of persons. No banking operations can be more legiti mate than that proposed by the circular. Besides the stability and security it w ill im part to the banks, it prescribes a safe, prncti cal limit upon bank circulation A curren cy never can become redundaut, which is is sued upon the principle proposed, for • veiy dollar of circulation thus issued, would tep resent the actual annual income of the coun try. I his would not be a mere nominal rep resent e.tic.n. as is thecase when it <ssaid that bank bills represent specie. The cotton is actually there to the fufJameunt oft he hills issued and advanced upon it, when every body knows that the specie in the vaults of all tlie banks does not amount to one lourtli ol their aggregate circulation.. So that, in tact every paper dollar represents only twen ty-five cents in specie. I shall be very nu- I rally askers “*u these are your views ot our system of banking, how is it that you. signed a paper pr posing ihe issue of post notes payable at remote periods,” I answer that my name was signed to the Circular, by a friend, several weeks after l let* New \ ork. upon the implied authority, derived trom n very strong and intimate personal friendship, and from my known concurrence in the general principle and objects develnp ed in that document. The issue of post notes lie no doubt considered a matter of detail, which the Convention would adopt or reject as its deliberate judgment should dictate, l am very sorry it was suggested in the Circu lar, ns it has given rise to much of the op position to a call of ;i Convention, and is a measure to which J should, as at ptesent d vised, be decidedly opposed. Ido not think the proposed post petes could possibly be made to answer the purpose of a currency, 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 Ihe Circular, the people of South Carolina do not require to be informed that 1 am the ve ry last man in the State, who would give it tlie slightest countenance. They canno! but recollect, that in my last annual message —as Chief Magistrate of SnuthjCuroliua, I used the very strongest language in oppos ition to the chartering of a gigantic Bank then projected urging in opposition to it the general redundance of the currency, and predicting the commercial explosion which took place a few mouths afterwards, to those who were utterly deafto the warning. That bank was chartered by an overwhelming 'majority; those who are now for a United States Bank, and those who are for a Sub Treasury system, seeming to vie with each other, who should contribute most, to swell the torrent in its favor, while I should have stood “solitary and alone,” if the venerable Judge Coi.coci, wlio«e loss South Caroli na has so much cause to deplore, and a few others had not stooon firmly by my side. It would be extraordinary indeed, il under these circumstances I shorn! bn in favor of such bank as has been recently suggested. I am one of those who believe, that the is sue of one hundrad millions of bank paper in nddifon to the pressent circulation, so far frot.i aiding one cent to the wealth or capital of the country, would be the greatest evil *.h<,t could be inflicted on it; op erating as an insiduous transfer of that vast sum, from the po'-kets of the people at lnrge to the corporation issuing the paper, i be lieve our currency is now redundant, and that no remedy can ever cure its diseased con dition, whether it bs the sub-treasury scheme or national bank that does not reduce our Imrik circulation to its proper limits. To suppose, as multitudes vainly do. that it is within the compass of human power to re lieve the embarrassed, by making money plenty, and by the same agency, to reform the. currency, by making it scarce, is to sup pose a miracle, such as divine power has never performed. It is very remote from my intention therefore, to do any thing to promote the interest of mere speculators in hank charters or iti any thing else; my views are of a more homely and practical kind, looking to the restoration of onr trade to its ancient chan nels. In this view the encouragement of our importing merchants, is a matter ol vi tal interest at the present moment; and I know of nothingthat would place it more co opletely in the power of our banks to af ford that encouragement, than the plan pro posed.—Having always a supply of sterling exchange, they would be enabled to meet the wants of our importing merchants ; and , having iu like manner o large credit in ifilF tope, they would he at all times able to give these nierrhanfg a credit there, better for them than hills of exchange. Indeed, our Banks having the control of the foreign exchange, would, by that means, acquire thp coi.tiol of the domestic also, and the exchange between ths North and the South would be equalized or turned io our favor. Afler this brief exposition of the proposed plan of restoring the cotton trade to its iiatu ral channels, I will notic° a few of the object ions urged against it A great apprehension is expressed, that this movement on our side, will produce counter-combinations on the other. Most assuredly, the charges made against the • Circular,” and the tone of the articles pub lished in some of our own journals, aie cal culated to encourage and invite such com bination. They charge upon us hostile •tid offensivecvmbinatiems, when we propose on ly to assume a defensive position, to resist such combinations abroad, aud to avoid the necessity ol glutting the markets iu tnomen's and panic or temporary and uunaturaldepres inn. They proclaim our weakness, and exaggerate the power of the adversary, as ■ituch as to say to the European mantifac mrers. now notoriously combined to force down the price of cotton, in the face of the most deficient crop ever made, “go ou— gen tlemen, regulate the price of cotton as you please, any effort made to resist you by the poor dispersed planters will be impotent and redie.ilous.” If there be either nationality, patriotism, or truth in these statements .itid sentiments, it escapes my perception. If it terre to to a war of combinations, which (!od forbid, it is utterly undue, that we should be powerless in swell a contest. We possess the locks ol Sampson. Our cotton is absolutely indispensable to the manufac turing and commercial nations of Europe anti by withholding a single crop, we could spiead and rebellion over all the manufacturing pnrtionsof Europe, and eause the lordly capitalists, so much dreaded to cry our for quarters, A pretty story to pro claim abroad, that the producers of our an nual export of $80,000,000 of a staj ie, ad mittedto he equal to so much bullion—ar.a ple too jvhten sustains nearly one half of the entire commerce of England, are too im potent to guard their own interests. If with such resources, our planters hare been feeble because, as your correspondent justly says, they ar widely dispersed—it is the very rea son why they should assemble together, to devise the means of controlling their own property, which every body else has been too long in the habit of controlling, and usiug for theirown purposes.. 's to combinations abroad, they exist al ready, and have recently carried theit power to ’he utmost Stretch. They have had to give way and re-action is already commenced. The idea that other cotton countries w'ill ri val and supplant ns,, is utterly visionary. I said to an intelligent merchant of London, intimately acquainted with the East India trade, “how is it that England has never been able to obtain a huger supply ot cotton from her East India pr ssessions ?” He replied “tile diffidence ol (reicht alone, to say noth ingot oilier causes *s sufficient to account for it.” But the combination ofslave labor, with bin lily intelligent proprietors, present, to di ie< t their operations- a combination which exists no whe e else in the world is the great and sufficient cause of that superiority in our cotton planting, which will forever dely all coin petition, until f.'inHticisrn .‘• hull reduce us to the condition of St. Domingo, and Jam aica. I will notice but one or two more ob jections. One writer exclaims “let trade albne, to iPL'uLiiPilseil ? ’ and another is so very ab** surd, as to consider this effort of the plan tc: s to place their property out of the reach of foreign combinations, by preventing his accumulation in the hands of specul. tors, without capital as a gross violation of the principles if free trade ! Verily, these are new lights shed upon the world ! Because forsooth, tlie planters choose to select their own agents, their own lime for bringing their cotton to market, a tremendous hubbub is forthwith raised, as if the pillars of the con stitui on were about to be torn town. The planters, quiet and dispersed as they are, have been so long and so habitually shear ed, that those who have enjoyed the golden fleece, sevni now to regard it as a vested rit:lit. It is high time to break the ill"®ion of this proscriptive right, and teach all such, that if the planters have been picked and fleeced they are neither geese nor sheep. And if any class in our Southern communities choose to take, sides against us, and even become the advocates of the foreign manu factures, as the extraordinary course ofsotne of onr journals on the sea coast and the Gulph, would almost warrant us in suspec ting—they must be taught that the planters constitute the first estate in the iniptre of Southern commerce, and are not to be driv en, or flattered, or wheedled, from their just purposes, by the combined forces of specu lators and editors. 1 trust, therefore that the proposed Con vention will assemble at Macon, and that the planters at least, will be fully represented, by the very ablest men they can select. It is no ordinary occasion, but far more impor tant to the Soiuh and South West, than ad the presidential Cqnventioofi ever brought together. - GEORGE M'DUFFIE.
