How often have we been told the frightful
pleismchoiy story that the British would iin-
port all their cotton from the East Indies in
terdicting the importation OF ours ino Eng
lsnd, and thereby cause ours 20 rof xtson our
Aands. Have they done it ?---we arc bold
to assert they dare not Should the impor.
tation Of our cotton be intcrdicted by the
British Cabinet, her ruin would be inevitable.
and prove Americas greatest blessing and
prosperity. An intsrdiction oftke importation
OF American cotton, would destroy the coun-
try trade las 1t is termed) carried on by the
En- ylish from Surat t. CAnson. The sale of

laad, Instead Of Canfon--she American India
Whips would take the place Of those. of the
English to Canton, and instead of American
vessels carrying nothing but specie dollars, to

Americas cotton Our merchants,in such
case, would be the cARRIxRs and supPLIRRs
sf all the continent Of Europe, with TRAs,
zAxxBsss,setc &C. Hence the annihilation
Of the British India Company would follow,
and their bankruptcy. (for they owe an inn
mense debt) in all probability, would produce
the bankruptcy of the British marion.
Bun 90 pursue this subject little farther--
Admit the fact, tha' Svrat grows and exports
sofscient cotton to supply the Canton market
as heretofore, and Great Britain also; (why
have not the English nation discovered this
before). What then would be the true poii-
cy of America--tAmerica, in her turn would
in,erdict the importation Of English manu-
factured cotton goods. This would produce
the immediate manufacturing of cotton,. in !,
this country, and in short period, superccde
the necessity of our ever importing, again
British manufactured goods. AS,
Again-<ln the year 1906, Great Britain
exported to this country, in various manufac-
