COTTON GROWING AND PROTEC
TON

The opponents Of the Protective Policy have
ever contended that while, per chance,
might be Of some advantage to the rec labor
ofihe North which under a system Of free
trade must come in direct competition with the
unpaid labor Of Europe il would be indirectly
injurious 10 the great cotton growing interest
at the South. Hence for the last twenty
years every tariff law has experienced the
most Incorporating hostility ( ON the whole
cotton growing region of the United States,
But as we have long predicted tie time has
come when the cultivators Of cotton see and
acknowledge the error-the fundamental error

which have always governed them, will, We pre-

the proper course for them 10 pursue.
From these considerations we have dctermi>

do not accord with these gentlemen in their
views in regard TO general politics. but upon the
