brought before the Directors OF the East India Com

of Commerce, the presentation OF a Meuioi ia

into Great Britain in the first eleven months OF the
year SIS amounted TO 1874 ,3l6 bales Of the value
of 100000 sterling, in IFS unmanufacturcd state
OF which only 90 3 bales were from the East Indies
of the value of about t600 600 only five per cent
OF the whole value of Cotton imported about ninety
par cent. OF our supply being drawn from foreign
sources. That the value OF the above quantity OF
Cotton in its manufactured state was I4O, coo 600
sterling per annum, giving freight for 300 900 oi

THE PROCLAMATION

The effect Of this Proclamation will be instan-
taneous and salutary, both at home and abroad
Never was the financial condition Of our Gov
eminent, and the monetary system Of our coun-
try, in a worse and more alarming position, than
at this moment-all the consequence Of the mis-
rule of loco-focoism. We, the country, and all
concerned had began to look with dismay at the
dark cloud gathering over our heads. All saga
cious minds, felt that something must be done,
and done quickly. The President and his Cabi-
net have decided wisely and OPPORTUNITY The
Proclamation alone will save the country from
immediate wreck, and show to the world, that,
the head OF the American Government, and his
advisers, foresee the danger, and are resolved
to tax the assembled wisdom of the nation for
counsel and aid. We are sure that this Procla-
nation will be welcomed every where, except
among the croakers, as the harbinger OF relief.
The nation has toiled long and hard, but tri-
umphantly, to rescue the Government from bad
hands but every thing is found in a state of de-
vastation. The ruinous condition of our none
tary systematic prostration of commerce and
trade by that means and the universal anxiety Of
the public mind, demand immediate attention
and relief from the only quart er whence it can be
hoped for. This nation could not subsist in such
doubt for another six months.
Right glad and thankful are we at the sight Of
this Proclamation. 1t revives our dropping spi-
rits; it will revive the spirits of the country il
will save the shaking, trembling credit Of the ma
ton

BANKRuPr LAw.-The New York Herald says
if any bankrupt law be passed, it ought to be made

We have long held and advocated the same opinion
aad for the reason set forth in the Herald, VIZ
Any bankrupt law without this principle, including
corporations, would be gross outrage human
rights. IA violation of the first laws of nature-the
