The New Orleans Bulletin says that the culture of the
sugar steadily increases in that State. Experience
has shewn that the crop can be raised 10 profit in much
higher latitude than was formerly supposed and the cul
ture is gradually advancing northwards. Large crops
growing, the present season. the neghborhood Of
Alexandria, Red River, and the cotton planters of
the parish of Rapdes abandoning the old staple and
embarking extensively in the manufacture of Sugar.
The plant has capaby of adaptation to climate and
the Editor thinks it may gradually be accmated, so
grow still farther north, and that the whole State
may be found be adapted its growth. IT, however,
the culture should be confined to only twohlrdS of the
Stale, the field would be sufficiently extensive to furnish
sugar for the consumption of the whole nation In Tex
as we have annexed territories, in lower latudes
than any part of Louisiana and better adapted to the
culture of the The Bulletin therefore, thinks is
not hazardng much, TO say that, before the lapse of
gears, more sugar will be manufactured in The
United S tates, than will be wanted for home consump-
ton.
1t has been said, that, however much the devil may
appear belrend his votares he always leads them
into Scrape and cheats them in the end. So ii may
yet prove, in relation 10 the Infamous Texas swinder
and those who were so earnest fer her embrace may find
that they have caught Tartar. The sugar growing
interest are, and ofnecessy always will be- the fast
est and rmest friends of the protective system. If that
interest should extend ITSELF anticipated by the Bull
etin ii will control the political power, not only of
Louisiana but of Texas, and it in favor of the
peculiar policy, in relation trade on which our pros
perity, as nation, is based
There is another point of view in which this subject
presents ITSELF which be any thing but pleasant TO
Iyho tba Cor of
securing the ascendancy the slave power and the anti.
protective policy. The sugar culture is profitable
than that of cotton. and those engaged in il will paw
more for slaves than be afforded by the grow
ers The soil and climate of Louisiana and Texas are
also more favorable for the growth of cotton than the
more northern coon-growing States. The culture of
sugar very destructive 10 the life of the aborers and
requires constant renewal of the stock from abroad
The combined operation of these causes will be very nat
uray TO divert portion Of the slavelabo and of slave
from the culture of cotton to that of sugar-hat
is, from the anprotective The protective interest TO
remove the seat of the culture from the northern
and eastern slavehoding States to the southwest TO
put check upon the increase of the slaves and TO
draw off the slaves from the northern slave holding
States. In this way, Maryland, Virginia. Kentucky,
and probably Tennessee, may be expected al no very
distant day, to become Free States
These ideas were suggested 10 our mind reading
the article in the Bulen-they the result of any
very deep or careful reflection, but throw them out
for what they are worth. What may be the ultimate
effect of these any other the slave power
the slave interest in these saes il does moi at all change
the character or take from the namy the foul plot of
Texan annexation. IT conceived in sin and brought
forth i'll nfamy, and the possibility that may be so over
ruled by an all wise Providence as defeat the intentions
OF the conspraors does not in the slightest degree relieve
us from the obligation to oppose it, by all just and proper
means, not only but hereafter, and always so long
IS opposition may be OF any Especially is it our
duty most steuuousy 10 oppose the admission into the
Union of any siareoding stale created of the ter
ritory.
