HE HOMAGE OF
JUSTICE.


We have compiled,
from various sources, the
following disinterested
testimonials, which were
commanded from their
several authors by the
lofty patriotism, vnlor,
talents and success of
General HARRISON, long
before he was named
for the Presidency, and
in times which ought to
give them weight suff-
Gent to bear down all
the petty calumnies
and quibbling objections
which party malignity
may now presume to
forge against the war
worn and time -honored
patriot and soldier.
The authorities we
present against the puny
attacks of Loco-Foco
Federalism, and which
we shall stereotype as an
impregnable barricade a
gainst all opposition, are
no less than the Con-

The NEW ORLEANS NATIVE AMERICAN
We have often felt a glow of admiration, while
reading the able manly, independent and sprl-
ted articles which appear IN this paper the
| Naturalization Laws and kindred subjects. The
Editors deserve nobly OF their country; they de-
serve the cordial support of every lover of cure
free institutions, of every true patriot. w
have just been highly gratifed with the infor.
nation that an old friend and fellow-ci;izen, A
l.. Stmson is one of these same excellent editors.
Mr.. S. was for a long time connected with the
| press in Boston; thence he removed to New ork
and. after remaining here for several months
| he took himself to Cincinnati In the Empire
city of the West, he established paper called
/ The Taller Not finding the continuation of
this enterprise, though it promised to be success
full. congenial to his taste, he made still further
exodus and is now, we believe permanently as
scented in the editorial conduct of the Native
American.
Mr.. EDITOR. cannot bettefexpress my
timation of the character and talents of friend
and brother Bostonian, A. L. Stimson, Esq. one
of the editors the New Orleans "Eatve Amer
lean" newspaper, than by copying br your
Telegraph, Gfyou will do me the favor b publish
it) the above article from the New World.
Side by side have we on former occasion
warmly opposed our infamous Naturalization
Laws, in their dreful consequences upon the puri-
ty of our elections and free institutions. Our
own observation convnces of the fitness of
our friend for the responsibility of his editorial
irust-a faithful sentinel upon the watch tower
of our country's liberties Happy, thrice happy
to find him still at WORT in he good cause
ofnat Americansm, and in the funess of our
soul, wish him glorious success in his present
sphere of usefulness G

We have received the, communication OF our esteemed
correspondent Luther, commenting on the proceedings
of the Camden Baptist Church which appeared in oul
paper of the 18th inst. and have read 1t atentVey
We cannot however, perceive what good is to result
from its publication, and we think we see III 1t,
though doubtless not intended matter that may pro-
duco an unpleasant discussion. The question which
rave rise to the resolutions of the Baptist Church,
one of tho most vital importance-and it becomes
not only the Church, but the whole South, TO be
united in their sentiments upon land VIC know OF
nothing so we'll calculated to weaken, and ultimate
" destroy tho stand which has been taken, than q
division and discussion among ourselves, upon COL
lateral questions.
If VIC agree in the t'an subject we doubt tho pro-
prcty of IA public discussion as to the manner IN
which our sentiments may be exprcssed-a differ.
cnce of opinion may exist upon this matter but such
difference ought we think, 20 be sacrificed, rather
than that controversy should arise on an unimpor
tant issue, which musl in all probability, ultimately
distract our councils and render all our efforts feeble
and powerless.
Fearing that the romarks Of onr friend LUTHER
though made, We feel assured with the best OF mo-
tves, might produce result so much to be deprc-
Gated, we have declined their publication; and VIC

CoTroy CRor.-Tho entire crop Of Cotton for the
year ending on The 3Oth ult hos been uscetaned to
be two millions ono hundred and scventy-scve thou
sand light hundred and thiy-6ve bales; the largest
crop, We believe over made in this country; and
exceeding the crop of the year previous, eight hum
Ired and seventeen thousand three hundred and
three bales.
Notwithstanding this immense ircreuse in the
production, tho consumption has very nearly kept
pace with it. Dates from Liverpool to the Sd inst,
informs US that the amount of Cotton on hand at
that date was estimated at four hundred eighty-nn
thousand bales, against, four hundred and twenty
ninc thousand, at the same time last year.
The stock on hand in this country, was, on the
3J,h nit. forty-two thousand three hundred ard
thirty-three bales, against twenty seven thousand
thrco hundred and thirteen bales at this period last
year.
F.om this it will be seen, that with crop for
tho last year, exceeding that Of the year previous,
over eight hundred thousand bales, that the stock
remaining on hand had oaly, inareased seyenty-ive
thousand.
The crop of the present year, will probably reach
sixteen hund ed thousand bales.
The price of Cotton at Liverpool, at the date
above referred to, the 81 instant, was, for upland
from lid to 6 led, and the demand moderate,
without any speculative operations. The sales for
tho week ending the day previous was twenty.sc-
Won thousand and sixty three bales.
Taking into consideration the immense crop Of
last year. and the small increase of the stock on
hand, we cannot but suppose, that present prices
