THE COTTON TRADE.

A circular, offering to make advances on
consignments Of cotton, has been published
in New York, and excited vast amount of
twattle. 1t seems to have been issued at the
instance Of the cotton holders, with view Of
protecting their private interests. 1t accord
ingly must 60 for what it will fetch; and whe-
Their it accompshes the expectations Of its
authors, must depend upon their pecuniary
ability, Of which we know nothing. We pub
lish the Circular below, so that the reader
may judge of its character for himself. As
private affair, we have nothing to do with it;
but we apprehend that the banks of the coun-
try will not undertake to do any such prepos-
ferrous thing as combining for the benefit of
the cotton spectators. We think the pro-
position the most impudent and daring one
that has lately been foisted on the public at
tention. If any bank or banks engage in this
business, they will forfeit their charters, as a
matter Of course, it seems to US, unless the
privilege is granted to them by their acts OF
incorporation. So far as the Circular, there
fore, addresses the banks, it is teio de Sc. II
is no just complaint against the banks, that
they cannot send the cotton crop to the right
market-this is not their business. Cotton
must take its chance among other products,
and the banks should trade not in any.
The advance proposed, l l cents, is no very
great stretch Of liberality, for it is such as any
body might probably make without much risk.
We know not whether the charge against
the English cotton spinners be truth or a
fetch but we suppose the whole affair, if it be
but the offspring Of a combination of private
individuals, musl..take its chance with the loco
loco Trades Unions of the country, lawful
fruits of" free trade"

GLOBE FALsEHooDs.

This delectabe tender Of the Executive,
recently asserted, and we see the assertion
echoed by the recipients Of patronage, that
Mr.. Rises' scheme (of fnance) has only
two friends lefl in Congress"
We pronounce the assertion lie. Con-
necticut has elected one Conservative; New
York ! ; Illinois Virginia Q and we have
reason to believe that some of the Georgia
members are Conservatives. and there were
in the last Congress some 20 Wings who
were friends" Of Mr.. Rives' scheme. A
large portion Of them have been reelected.
So much for that.
The Globe copies an article from the New
Orleans Louisianian, asserting that the Ma
disonian is a federal paper, published at the
Office Of the National lntelligencer." There
in, the Globe published f1o lies. and the
editor knew it, and the citizens Of Washing
ton knew ii. OF such material is diurnal
dish prepared for the Presidents palate, by
his everyday companion.
The Globe Of Wednesday evening repeats
string Of stale calumnies in relation to the
Madisonian, which we shall not trouble our
self further to refute, II adds, however, one
new one, as follows
at was offered to Mr. Bidde last summerfor IS Oo0
but he would have nothing TO do with t.
This is not only utterly false, but there
has been on our part, not The slightest founda-
ton for such an assertion.
The Globe has not yet retracted its solemn
observation that, there is Locofoco MAORI
ty Of iDo in the newly elected Legislature Of
Virginia.
Ferdinand Mendez Pinto is but type
of thee, thou liar Of the first magnitude"
We may possibly, soon take occasion to
show how the Globe is sustained-that it
would probably die in fortnight, were it not
for the Post Office OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
some other particulars touching the jobbing
Of the Executive printing may be referred to,
and the necessity of an investigation Of this
business by a committee Of Congress. We
do not believe there has been more fragrant
corruption practised since the organization Of
the government, than probably may be dis
covered in the maintenance given to the two
principal Locofoco publications of this city,
by an Executive sustained in return by their
sophistries and fabrications. -" .
