As a la.i resur,, therefore our great staple
which susIans nearly every other branch
of industry, is secretly assaiIed. The Lon
don Times cries, "overiproductInn" foreign
journalists in America cry, "over produc

" and parrot like re echn he watch word.
This cry Being interpreted into plain Ian
guage means-"Planiers in America, cease
producing so much cotton next year. that
the staple may advance and enable the
British planters Of luJa TO obtain higher
prices for their largely increasing crops.

We sincerely he'll w that these are the
ulrcrinr objects nrrhnse who originated the
projecr Of decreasing The production Of our
gred staple: and until our planters are
able to establish cotton manufactures
arnnnc themselves. (an'l linus become real

and prnluce as much cotton as they may
