A SUGGESTION.


Circumstances are rapidly Kidding us of our slave
population. They going off to the South West in
consequence Of the increased price of cotton. They
will so still rapidly, if the annexation of Texas
should be completed.
ls The rise of cotton has caused great demand for
slaves in the cotton region. Many have already been
sold, and sent of 10 the South West well-iniormed
gentleman tells u.s. that in county, from 10
400, perhaps MORE have been purchased since Christ
mas, and sent off TO the South. Consider the capital
which will be brought into the cotton country by the
late rise in that staple. have just seen the following
remarks in the Boston Courier
"Las year. the prices so low, that the average
value of bale was not S25. At present prices
and many persons believe they will advance-the
average is $40 per bale. This, in crop of only
1000, 900 bales, will make difference of $50 100000
isc sixths of which will fall upon the foreign
sumers, and, consequently, be much additional wealth
to this country This increased product Of cotton, will
enable the people OF the cotton region TO purchase freely
of the manufactures of New England, and thus we
shall share in the beneficial consequences of rise Of
prces.'
Virginia will feel it even more than New England
She IN Ed will sell more OF her manufactures, is true
But we will sell many of our slaves. The maxim
is always true, that the higher the cotton, the higher
the abor-he more slaves pass from the seaboard TO-
wards the Mississippi One million Of dollars has al.

slaves, and they have been sent of the United States.
