This, it is we'll known. is the great staple pro
duct Of several States, as we'll as The great aftl-
Gle Of our exports, the price OF which, IN the tor
eign market, has been more relied on than any
thing else TO Influence f~avorably the exchanges OF
this country with Great Britain and Europe gen
erallv. The cotton crop of the United States Is
more than one-half of the crop OF the whole world.
In 1884, the amour, was but about 100000 ,0O0
of pounds; the annual about So ,oo0,oOo. The
rise and progress of this crop, since the invention
Of Whiiney'S cotton gin, has been uneXampled IN
the history of agricultural products. In ,he year
1888, eight bales of cotton were seized on board
of an American brig. al the Liverpool custom
house, because II was not believed that SO much
cotton could have been sent at one time from the
United States! The cotton crop OF 1911, com
pared with that of 1880 and l>i0. was probably
less. bv from 5O0.O00 TO 600 900 bales. Ia the
early part of the last cotton growing season, an
average crop was confidently anticipates; ba,
this hopeful prospect was not realized. Ia por-
| tons OF the cstton producing States, as IN parts
of Georgia, however, the crop was greater than
usual; and ~ Arkansas 1t has been estimated at
a gain, over that of 1879 OF 33s per cent but
probably, owing to It's having suffered from the
boil worm, it should be set down at 20 or % per
cent. a similar advance IS expected 10 future
wears, among other causes, from the great increase
of population by emigration. Mississippi, Geor-
gia, Lnuisiana. and Alabama, South Carolina and
North Carolina, are, IN their order, the great cot
ton growing States An importantfact deserves
notice here, on account of the relation which the
cotton crop bears 10 other crops. Whenever Ito
whatever cause 1t may be owIng) the price Of
cotton IS low, the attention OF cultIvators, the
next wear, Is more particularly diverted from cot
ton to the culture oil corn and other branches OF
agriculture, in the cotton producing States. As
cotton is now so low, and so lIttie In demand IN
the foreign market, unless a market be created
;, home IT must necessarily become an object of
less attenilon to the planters; and l, cannot be
expected that the agricultural products OF The west
will find SO ready a sale IN the southern market
as in some former years. Other countries. too.
as Egypt, India, and other parts Of Africa. Brazil
and Texas, are now coming more decidedly into
competition with the cotton-growIng interest OF
our country; so that an increase OF This product
from those countries. and a corresponding depres
sion in ours. are 10 be expected. The amount OF
Indian cotton imported into England in 1910, was
IS, 7O3,295 lbs; almos, equal to the whole cotton

We do not know how others may be affected by
the scenes Of The last few days al Washington.
but, we confess, hey affec, US with profound me!
ancholy.
/. mus, be obvious to the most careless obser-
yer that the horror which used to thrill through
nll sound hearts at The bare mention OF dIsunion,
can no longer be excited. We have heard so
much and So often from the Soath-upon The slight
est occasIons-of threats Of separation, Of calcu-
Iating the value 0f the Union, and of the Souih's
ability tn exist by herself and tor herseli-that
the North has been forced, as II were, to reflect
upon what would be the issue Of such a breaking
up Of our Republic; and, sooth TO say. reflection
has brought, the conviction has brought the con
viciion to very, very many minds, that that # cal
cuiaiions of sectional interests or sectional prIie
and power must determine this great political and
social prohIem-ihe North--the free Ststcs-lhe
agricultural, manufacturing and Commercial
States-would gain power, wealth., aud lmpor-
lance by cutting loose from the weaker and de-
pendent south, now admitted TO an equality with
them.
The conviction of reason. moreover, Is, IN some
ardent minds, exasperated almost INTO a passion-
n,e desire, by tho ,nsoIence and intolerance Of The
slave representation IN Congress.
II IL TO feelings Of this sort that we are TO as
cribe in part tile petition presented by Mr.. Adams,
which has occasioncd The violent debate 10 the
House, asking for a dissolution Of the Union rati-

Of tho common bond Of slavery.
And what was thus formally embodied by these
