~ VENTION.

do not know what will be the general
plan fallen upon bythe Convention 10 carry
It's objects into effect, but wish, Mr. Editor,
to suggest the following plan merely as
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
Nothing is more necessary, most assured
ly, for the most perfect success in establish
ing HoME MARKET, and system of DIRECT
SHIPMENT, than sufficiently extensive con-
centration andunion of effort on the part Of
the plantersswhere cotton naturally finds its
first point of shipment in sea vessels at
Vicksburg, in changing the location of their
Cotton Depot from New Orleans to that
place. The question then is, how is that
UNION OF ACTION to be effected?
Let the Convention agree upon the for.
nation of an association to be located at
Yicksburg, to be called "The Mississippi
Cotton Trade Association to consist OF
such persons as will agree and subscribe to
its conditions. The most important of these
conditions will be for each member to assist,
by all proper means. in the establishing OF
a cotton market at Vicksburg. Planters
will do this by sending their cotton there
instead of to New Orleans, and all by using
every legal and proper means of effecting
this object. There will be committee o.
a suitable number of men residing in o.
near Vicksburg, whose duty it will be to SCI
about preparation of suitable warehouse:
Immediately on or as near as possibIe-t to til,
rioeF at the best ship landing, for the re
ceipt Of cotton, so that no damage, or a.
little as possible, viii be necessary
Let the use of cotton hooks be prohibited
/ and let the warehouse committee attend {
whatever may be necessary 70 insure there
IceptiOn, the safe keeping, and the shipping
IN GOOD ORDER of an cotton sent 70 the de-
pot Let there be committees appointed a

practicable, to consist Of suitable persons il
each beat Of each county within the prope
reach Of the Convention, to procure snbscri

lie reasons for advocating the cause Of Henry
Clay, in the ensuing Presidential contest
aThe Clay flag has been hois,ed blythe
Wing party, almost unanimously, throughout
the Union. The only question among the
Wings being as 70 the time oF the nomination,
none as 70 the individual. Both as regards
the principles which he advocates, and the
character OF the man, he is immeasurably

candor, in all bis political views; they know
where to lay then finger upon him, for he
has never stopped to duplicily and CONCEAL

isrbut one feeling throughout the State Of
Mississippi on this subject, and that is just
resentment of the undue imPOsts of duties
'thal have recently been put upon our trans
actions of commerce, by the rulers of a city
that are no more independent of US, than we
have heretofore been independent of them,
combined with a determination to resist as
far as may be, the unwarrantable exercise OF
power that has been manifested in the
Oppressive tariff. There seems to be tho
rough understanding existing in the planting
q
the boundaries of our State for the disposal o
our cotton can alone counteract the bane
fuleffects intended to reproduced upon on
commercial affairs by the overweight mea
sures that have been adopted by the ruler
Of New Orleans. It will henceforth be in
furious rather than beneficial TO the Plantel
for him to dispose Of his crops at the cOttO
