MEXICO-EGYPTIAN COTTON

A few days since we accidentally saw a
very small quantity of the Mexico-egyptian
Cotton produced the present season on the
plantation of the late DR.. Mutt, near this
place. We were much pleased with the
evident superiority Of the article, and soi
cited an account of the experiments by
which this superiority was obtained. We
are happy that our solicitations have ELECTED
the very interesting letter which follows,
and to which we invite the attention of our
readers-especially that portion of them
who are engaged in the production of our
great staple. We have in our office some
specimens of this new article of Cotton
which we will take great pleasure in show
ing to all who feel sufficient interest or Gu
riosity to call upon us--and we hope there
will be many such.
Messrs. EDITORS You request me to
give you the result of an experiment nsti-
tuted by the late DIR. Mutt, with the view of
improving the growth of our Cotton, by
crossing it with that of Egypt. cannot, as
yet give you the result, as the experiment
can not be fully carried out, until we have
gathered the small crop of Egyptian Cotton
planted last spring; after which may be a.
BILE to show you what amount per acre it
will produce, and tonote particularly the rel
alive advantages to be expected from the
Mexican and Egyptian Cotton. So far the
experiment can only prove interesting to the
curious. When we are more fully con-
vInced of its usefulness, | will then inform
YOU of the further progress of the iEvestiga-

HENRY CLAY.

Messrs. Editors-As it is supposed that
Henry Clay will be the Wing candidate for
the next Presidency, it is amusing to mark
the various modes and means resorted to by
the Van Buren prints in the south general
ly, to convince the southern people that
Mr.. Clay is opposed to their interests, and
is a most violent abOlitionist. But it is not
at ali surprising, when the unpleasant pre-
dicament Of the administration is taken into
consideration. They are perfectly aware
that if the Wings concentrate upon Henry
Clay, his election is certain,-that the
fact that fraud has long been practised with
impunity upon the people will be more fully
confrmed--lhe Treasury, that ruined and
plundered department Of the government
will then be investigated, and its corrupt
made known to the people-forty
thousand oflice-holders, with their leader
and his motto Of "power, plumber, and ex-
tended rule" will be driven from their fat

UNITED STATES SENATOR.


We have seen with surprise and regret the
pretensons of Col. Adam L.. Bingaman to
the office Of u S Senator, eanvassed in sew
eral Wing papers, in a manner and temper,
which, If continued, must necessarily result
in the disruption of the Wing party, in Mis-
sissippi.
The Wing party is composed of men Of
different shades of opinion, who have uni
ted "upon a common ground" to wit the es-
ia adjustment of Bank of the United States,
opposition to the Sub Treasury, and the
overthrow of the present corrupt and imbe-
cile administration.
Now it is evident that the national repub-
lican division, cannot by themselves elect a
Senator, nor can the nulifers without the
aid ofthe nationals, nor that portion who
profess a creed different from either, with
out the assistance of all the other branches
or subdivisions of the party. But when the
union was formed, there was a tacit under
standing that we would do battle under the
one broad banner, which waved over all, re-
gardless of the minor quarrels between the
white and red roses, York and Lancaster.
Our object is victory over the common enc
my, and il matters but title, at least if we
are sincere in the belief that the acts and
policy of that enemy be so dangerous TO our
liberties and the welfare and Liberties of our
country; as we have prolessed, whether one
of our Colonel's be a nuliier or a national.
II it be of more importance, then let us dis
band our forces at once and re-organize. 1t
is certainly natural for us to prefer Sena-
| tor, who agrees with us in principles as well
as upon particular measures of our govern
ment, but asst was understood to be an equal
partnership, it would be both unwise and
unjust for the nationals to say that they will
not vote for a nullIfier, or for the nullifer
to support a national.
The attacks made upon Col. Bingaman,
whether the charges be true or false. are
wretchedly impolitic, TO say nothing of the
advantage which these domestic quarrels
give to our opponents, for tits beyond doubt,
true, that no whig, national or nulifier, can
be elected without Col. BIS vote and nflu-
ence, and some men, treated as the Colonel
has been by editors of his party, would by
manouvreing, when they found their own
prospects blasted, prevent the success of
the Wings, or openly join the enemy.
1t is certain that the Wings cannot sue
ceed withoutp perfect union and harmony. Ii
follows that the determination of each men,
Der of the Legislature must be, to vote for
that man, be he nullifer or national, provid-
ed he be opposed to the present admnistra-
ton and its Sub-Treasury, and in favor of
United States Bank, schO can unite the
most votes, whether it be Bingaman, Tur-
ner, Henderson, Bodily, Marsh, Quitman or
Guion. This can be ascertained better by
the members ofthe Legislature themselves,
than by over-zealous editors and friends.

places, and tho prospects Of Loco-Foeoism
"buried in one undistinguished ruin"
We hazard nothing when we say there is
no man now living that has greater claims
to the affections Of the American people
than Henry Clay, and confidently believe
there is mono who can be recommended
with more safety to their support. In the
course of long political life that has been
wholly dedicated to the interests of our Re-
public, he has established for himself repu-
taton in a political, and every other point
of view, rarely, if ever equalled A more
powerful orator, enlightened statesman,
useful and faithful representative, and a
more consistent, straightforward politician,
never graced Legislative hall. The Loco
Focos are aware of this. They know his
worth and his claims, and dread his power
and his influence. They are convinced
that if they can succeed in cheating the peo-
pie of the South into the belief that the abo-
Iition charges brought against Mr.. Clay are
lrue--(but which are without the least
foundation, and only the awry sayings oi
some fevered, stomachiul, humbug Loco
Foco) the Southrons cannot consistently
give him their suffrage. But in this these
Loco-Foco, anti-specie, newspaper dema'
gogues will find themselves sadly disap.

WHO is THE ABOLITION CANDI-
DATE7

From the tone of the abolition papers Of
the north, there cannot be even the slight
est doubt that the abolitionists are being
formed into regular political party, with
the view of exerting an influence on the
next Presidential election. This is now a
notorious fact, and is openly ayowed by the
LEADING journals Of the fanatics-which are
being multiplied and sustained by indiyidu-
al donations, at a great sacrifice, in order
10 discipline and drill their forces, SO as TO
bring them to bear with the greatest possl-
BILE effect upon this one point. Such being
fbe fact. il is important to US as southrons-
interested in the peaceable continuance OF
our southern institutions--that we should
ascertain who will be the candidate in whose
favor they will exert their influence during
the canvass, and for whom they will at last
cast their votes. In this We shall have no
difficulty; for the leading men and journals
of the party have lately thrown Oft all dis
cuise, and avowed decided preference for
Martin Van Buren, before any other man
now spoken of as a candidate for the Presl-
dency. Indeed, many of them are now ad
yocatipp his claims to the Presidency solely
on the ground of his favoring abolition prln-
ciples s;-while at the same time they show
their dislike for the principles of MIR. Clay
by charging him with "want of philanthro-
py," with "holding his fellow-men in bond
age" "enslaving those who bear the image
,ofGod," &c. &C., and applying to him all
the vile epithets which they are wont to use
when speaking Of the South, its Institutions
and its men. The abolitionists and the 10
co focos are playing deep and somewhat
mysterious game-and we verify believe
that developments of their dOings, plans
and schemes will soon be made, which will
startle every true friend to his country
In order to show the preference of the
Abolitionists as a political party, we make
the following extracts from thcir admitted
organs:

che most riOlent abolition pdpers:

MARYLAND ELEcrIoN.-The first gener
al election under the reformed constitution
of this State, takes place on the first Mon
day in October. State officers, from the
Governor down, will be, for the first time
elected by the people. Formerly the Gov
ernor, with host of other officers, were ap
pointed by the Senate.
The Registry Law, which provides fol
the Registration of voters in Baltimore City
which was passed at the last session of the
I,eeisature ofthat State, will be brought be-
fore the people for adoption. The City
Council, liz which the Loco FocOs have a
majority, has pronounced thislaw unconSt'-
mtional and declared that the Legislature
had no authority to impose such law on
the people of Baltimore, and has, Oonse-
quently, refused to make appropriations to
pay the Registers. The law, by the way,
provides for the question Of the authority OF
the Legislature topass such a law, by a clause
which shews that if it is not sanctioned by
the voters of the city, it cannot be enforced
The action of the City Council, therefore,
is premature and uncalled for. Ifit should
gain the appreciation of the voters, (and we
have no doubt of iD what will the learned
Council do?
The Loco Focos have made it party
question, and with hope of carrying the
city, have left no means untried to persuade
the people into the belief that it is unconsttu-
tional and an infringement upon the tree-
dom Of elections.
A law like this should be adopted by eve
ry commercial city in the Union, in order
to preserve the purity of elections. Illegal
voting, in large cities, cannot otherwise be
avoided. No friend of order and sound GO
vernment can refuse to register his name,
when the result is alike beneficial to both
parties. But, as the Loco Focos are the
only illegal voters, if this law meets the ap-
probation ofthe people of Baltimore, Loco
Foco prospects in the Monumental City,
may as well be consigned to the "tomb of
the Capulets."
