0E-On the first page of this paper will
be found, an article taken from the Wash,
ington Chronicle, that must be interesting
to our readers generally. We ask for it, a
careful examination, it is headed ga fer
PIqfn questions addressed TO the phig papers
IN the Southern States" The writer takes
an elevated and extensive view of the sub
ject of abolitionism, considered as polit
ical problem-we hope the "questionS"
will be candidly answered, by those to
whom they are put.

SPECIE PAYMENTS.

The Louisiana State Bank has resumed
payment in specie of all its notes. And
it is rumored that the Union Bank is about
to pursue similar course. The Alabama
papers speak Of resumption in that state
soon.
1t is strange but true; the Philadelphia
Banks have avowed an intention to redeem
all their shinplasters o. less denomination
than one dollar. A New-York paper asks
if it wont strain them.

The Free Trader of the 4th inst. says
"The great Steam Ship, City of Kings

service one Sabbath in st. Paul's church,
in New York, and the next Sabbath in st

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. IT.

April Give have had a heavy
market forcotton this week. and though
no general change can be quoted, the
tendency of prices has been against the
holder: the only alteration that can be
made is in the common qualities of A.
merican, which are Id lower. Brazils
and Egyptian are without change from
previous quotations; the lower quail
ties OF each continue difficult of sale.
Surats have been in fair demand at
previous rates. BY public sale yester-
day, 600 Surat, $50 Madras, and $50
Manila wcro offered, the greater part
was withdrawn, but none sold brought
prices on par with business by pri-
vate. During the week 1900 Amcri-
can have been taken on speculation,
and 300 Pernam for export. Sales in
clude 80 Sea Island at Is! 33; 50l0

sales to day are 1000 bags, and the
market rather steadicr, but without
any other change. About 300 Amcri-
can have been taken on speculation.

To the Editors Of The Planter:
GENTLEMEN:
JAMES McGEHEE.

The Advocate, the mouth piece of the
sPecled party, inrthis place, has found a
fiower-a sweet flower, from which, bee
Ike, 1t extracts for the qualification orits
own taste, and that of its readers; sweets
most delicious sweets. "Bnt every one
to their taste" In the last No. of the Ad
vocate, no less than t,eeaty-sir sweet ex-
tracts, we believe, are taken from the LOU
lsvllle Journal, edited by "the notorious
Geo. D, Prentiss." We speak not of this
as wrong; no, the ADVOCATE has the right
to select from every open flower; but as
Prentiss is in ayowed nationaIist-the,
friend and cntiring supp porter of Clay, for
the presidency; and the Advocate is SO
Piney Woods planter and Amite union literary reflector., 1838-06-09

pleased with the Journal--wlth the trrit-
ings Of Prentiss; we would most respect
fully call the attention of the editors, and
others, TO an ertrac, that re make, from
the pen ofhiis same &. d. Prentiss, Editor
of the Louisville Journal, that will, in our
humble opinion, throw more light on the
character of him and His idol, Henry Clay,
as far as Southern interests, &c., are con-
cerned, than would volumes of extracts,
such as the twenty-six we find in the asst
Advocate. Will the Advocate find place
for the following, and weigh well its i'm

Business throughout the country is re-
viving. The darkest days in monetary af-
fairs have been reached, and commerce,
confidence, activity and enterprise are
bursting forth upon us, not like the rising
sun, but like little spark of fire, which is
seen gradually, but ere long, shows itself
so that all wis have eyes may observe it,
and those who have none may feel it. Bu-
siness hereis not daller than IS common
for the season; the city is quite healthy,

, \We learn from the Liberty Advo-
cate, its determination not to support
Mr.. Clay for the Presidency. We are
very glad to hear this, it is very rea-
sonable. But the Advocate says it will
not support Mr. Van Buren,, because he
and his friends has not apologized pro-
perly for their misconduct on sundry
occasions. So we suppose the Advo-
cate, twill take bold and independ-
emf stand, neither for nor against the

Various have been the attempts-dihi
cuties of every sort contended with, anc
many lives lost in lruitless efforts to pass
from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, by
way of the Artic. The New-York Sun
gives the following account Of late discov-
cries:
"THe North Western Passage, so lond
sought bv English navigators, has been
found. We do not mean that a practical
BILE passage to the North of this continent
has been discovered, but TINT a part, of
the EMPLOYERS of the Hudson's Bay Com

Thomas Simpson, have traced the north
ern shore ofNorih America, from Frank
Inns "Return Reef" on the Eastern, to
Beechey'S ''Cape Barrow" on the West
ern side of the continent. Now we shall
soon have map, and the Atlas will no
longer grow into unknown lands and seas
at the n lrth of America. The gran pre-
blem is solved, and the question of the
of the Atlantic and Pacific O.

Or geographical purposes, the discovery is
not uselul; but all praise for its accom-
nlishment is due TO the IIudson's Bav.I

A high handed effort was made bv the
bank wings, to stop the operation of the
government as far as pecuniary matters
are concerned, or to compel it to borrow
on interest at the expense of the people,
enough to defray its expenses. If it had
been compelled to raise funds in such a
manner; the opposition party would by
that have obtained an electioneering
hobby to ride. Conld the government re-
ceive the one halfof the amount due to it,
it would not have required the passage of
the treasury note bill. The states have
on deposit, of the public moneys, toenty-
eight millions. The late deposit banks
have fifteen millions, with the postponed
merchants bonds--the U. s. Bank owes
the government four millions. And this
all real capital, butthe opposition say the
government is in debt

We are glad to see that the Mississippi
Planters are generally turning their at
tention to raising such produce on their
own plantations, as their own necessities
require. And to this it would be well il
they would give still more attention. Their
soil will produce any thing that is pro
duced in almost any part of the globe; and
they only want to raise sufficient for their
own domestic use. As it is, they are tee
much disposed-too desirous to raise Cot
ton, to the neglect of other things. 1t is,
we believe, the general opinion that Mis-.
sissippi is too far south4to produce good
wheat--that it is deficient both in qralitv
and IN quantity; but it does nj appear so
