The COTTON CIRcULAR.-We perceive
that the project proposed by the circular which
emanated from some IL or IA gentlemen as
sembled at New York in July last is, in the
true spirit of the times acquiring adherents.
The "Mobile Chronicle" of the 26th instant,
in noticing the proceedings of a meeting re-
Gently held atthe Blount Springs, approbatory
ofthe convention as is proposed to be held at
Macon Georgia, the 22d October next, seems
to manifest disposition to favor the scheme.
at least the editor doubts not but that eve NAV
reasonably anticipate emanations of available
wisdom from the Convention"
We cannot willingly believe that the intel
lgent editor of the Chronicle can be made to
favor a measure so manifestly pregnant with
the most mischevous consequences to the
regular commerce Of the country, and which
If consummated, must infiict deadly blow
upon the future prosperity of our common
country. In our opinion nothing in mercantile
history, or the science ofgovernment, that mod
ern genius has produced, can be compared
with the evils which the associations contem-
plated by the Circular must inevitably produce
to the general welfare and which is calculated
to destroy the strongest republican feature in
our government.
To the unrefecting, the theory of the system
may appear well enough, but in practice the
result viii prove oppressively ruinous, and to
our view the entire scheme is characterized
by fondal principles evidently at variance with
the very nature of free government. Banking
privileges in this country has already been too
much abused, and what may we not expect
from an association between the wealthy plan
tiers of this immense country and its money
institutions! It is human nature, that IN pro-
portion as the facilities to the accumulation OF
wealth shall be increased, will the attributes Of
power become multiplied in the hands ofthose
in whom 1t shall be made to concentrate. and
who among US can foretel what such an asso-
ciaticE may bring about.
We cannot view the measure in any other
hight than one highly inIpolitc; if the scheme
succeeds at all, the effect will De to enhance
the pice of cotton in foreign markets by coer-
oion, which doubtless will be met by counter.
railing action by the nations whose market
the association is designed to effect. Thus
the commercial relations of our country viii
become involved in national and international
controversy, destructive of its commercial and
general interest.

INTERNAL DIPROVEMENT.-No. 3
To the Editg1- of the Aro1,s.

To the Editor Of the Argus:
Ny motto is "A searching reform in oul
monetary system, and sound currency,
absolutely necessary, as a basis whereon
to commence the superstructure of Internal
improvement with success"
refer to the conclusion of my second num-
Der, wherein is stated, objections which NAV
be male, to the commencement of the great
scheme of internal Improvement at this pre-
sent time, owing 20 the present pecuniary dis
tress o. our State.
Such objections may be met, by taking into
view that large proportion of the amount,
would be expended in labor and materials; the
latter With the exception of ironwork neces-
sary for Rail Roads, would be supplied from
our own soil, and bring into active use, large
capitala as available funds, which now remains
dormant and inactive, the amount paid for la
Dor, would be more generally circulated, and
of more general benefit, than the issues of the
Union Bank.
Greater objections fear may be found, in
the act itself. repeat, that believe it a duty,
which every citizen owes not only to. himself
but to posterity, to examine attentively the
provisions of the act, before they 90 to the
polls, that they may vote advsedly Oh the SUBJ
ject. Let not the act go into operation, if there
are any objectional features, acihOm amend
ment. tits highly important that well diges-
ted system should be the basis of the COM
mencement of thermal improvement. For
by the passage OF this act, Mississippi is either
to raise herself to that elevated situation,
which her wealth entities her to, or her Cit.
zens are to entail upon their posteritv, bur
then under which they viii groan for many
years.
When We compare the relative situation Of
Mississippi with that of most of her sister
states, we can but be stsuck with astonish.
ment, at her growing wealth; and that too, a,
period when by far, the largest portion Other
fertile territory, as yet remains unsettled. Ma
