1 will not justify remunerating prices TOT coi- ton. Il very small advance on goods, say a half cent per yard on the average of cotton goods, will justify at least two cents per bound advance on cotton, which will pay to the planters remuneratng prices, and will not be sensibly felt by the mass of consu. mers. For instance: a half cent per yard on calico, will only make three or four cents in Iady's dress pattern; or n half cent per yard on shirtng, will only make about l-2 cents in gentloman's shir, pattern, which cannot make material difference with the muss of consumers. But tEo cents per pound, on cotton, vii! "make glad the hearts, of the cotton planters, throughout the cotton region.
 Now, that there is large stock of cotton in the Quocndom of Great Brttan-whch has tendency 10 dcpIess the price of that, your great aple-and as provision IS high, and scarce here, and there: l will, in con clusi ion, recommend to Inc cotton planters of the United States of America, 10 pursue a more provident course plant more corn every year than will barely suffice for the years consumption, until they gain six, or eight months supply, over and above fhe consumption, that they may more elfectual- ly guard against famine: that dire calam'- ty.
 And, by tho lime they gain six, or eight, months supply on the annual consumption, they will have reduced the stock of cotton in England which will enhance the value Of your great stap aple-yield more. money diminish the outlay, aad follow the example of the pror;deni JOSEPH ol Egypt, in days of yore.
 More elfectnally to promote my phllan- thropic views, and 10 enlist as marry as practicable in the good cause, respectfully refer you to my Circular to the World, and 10 the table hereunio annexed, and slncerely hope for better prices for cotton, and plenty of provision ere long, and forever.

Mississippi repudaiionists, that the agent of the State exceeded his powers in dsposing of the Bonds, but shall stand before the world an almost unparalleled example of meanness and dishoaesy. We would feign hope that the great.hearted of the land will not suffer so foul blot to rest upon our fair escutcheon, that all the glowing eulogies 10 which we have so often listened upon the thickly clustering virtues of our State are something more than empty sound that tte pubic ear is not yet deaf 10 lhe si!l small voice of duty and of justice, and the public conscience not yet sered with hot iron, So that the whisperngs of di- viner spirit fall unheeded upon il; that lhe absorbing love of gold has not yet, in States or in individuals swallowed up all the better and nobler feelings of the heart.
 Most earnestly would we hope that the great future of our young Stale, in all else so full of promise, so rich in anticipation, may never be bhghted by so foul stain. That this ominous cloud now no larger than mans hand may never overspread the horizon and darlen the whole land.

Oregon Debate in the Senate.

On he 4th and 5lh inst's., Mr. Hay wood of North Carolina delivered spec cb, in the Senate, which has attracted much attention, and which was the occasion of some very incorporate remarks, in refer ence to the President, by Mr. Hannegan.
 The following extracts present, in sub- stance, the position assumed by MT. Hay wood, and the rejoinder of MT. Haunegan.
 Correspondence cf the Charleston Courier.
 MARCH 4th.
 "Mr. H. maintained in substance that the President was bound by good faith to offer the 49th, and to adhere to that offer should it come back to him; much of his speech Was in reply to the remarks of some of the ultra Oregon par. ty who had declared their readiness to go to war for 54o 40, and who had asserted that the President could mol and would not negotiate for any thing short the whole of Oregon. The President had said nothing, which would pre-. vent him from accepting the off of the 49h. MT. H. contended that tle President stood up- on the 18th, and he MT. H. placed himself ups on the same position and would maintain it. In speaking of thc 49th, he wished it 10 be under stood, that he did not count inches, and that he meant the 18th substantially not regarding slight variations.
 No man, NTH. contended, had any right to say or to infer that the President ofthe Un- ted States was in the same position now, that lie was when his message was written. There had been negotiations since that time and they were not ended. The door was not closed against them.
 MT. il. showed that the negotiation was not ended, tho the correspondence was suspended. fit was ended by the British Government, the British minister would go home.
 Mr. H. protested, over and over again, and in the strongest terms, against any body's right to assert that the President would not compro. mise on the 18th, and lie declared If there was any truth in logic, meaning in language, or sln- cerity in men, he would demonstrate that his opinion was correct and he went on to do It clearly and satisfactorily.
 MARCH 5th.
 MT. HAYWOOD resumed his remarks on the Oregon question, and spoke nearly three hours
 He went on to speak of the propriety of giv- ing the notice, it ended in nothing, it could do no harm. 1.-the President should terminate the negotiation, refuse any compromise, and still give the notice, he would betray us. If so, the matter would still be in our own hands, If any.Senators was afraid of trusting the Presi- dent, he for one, would pledge himselk never 10 adjourn, until the question of peace or war was settled-until it was known, whether a compromise on 49, would be accepted or not.
 He wished the notice to be given early, for

AOlllNU ON Cl11, Marcn l2th
 No other question, or subject, IS agita,ed here except the Oregon question all else is for tune forgotten. The mystery thrown round the question by Senator Haywood's representa- tions of the views of the Executive and Sena- tors Allen, and Hannegan's, denial of the au- thorlly of Haywood Is not yet cleared up. We have had, innumerable, rumors touching the matter. l. is said, and perhaps with truth, .hat some of the 54S 40' men called on Mr. Polk, to Know Ii he had authorised Mir. Haywood to commit hlm to comp'aase at 49a: one yer. slon, of the answer of the President is an ab- solute denial of such authority another version is, that he referred the gentlemen to his messa. ges, and the correspondence, leaving thom stA. m uncertainty. It seems to me, that some of the Presidents friends, are creating false issues on this question. There is another rumor to- day, that the ultra Oregon men have had caucus, and have determined to yield to con- promise; this is not true, however, as l have very good reasons for knowing. The,prospect of an amicable settlement is now very fair, and war is not considered ''inevitable."
 Hon. D. Atchison of Mo-, an ultra Oregon man, is speaking Tn the Senate to-day. He is no Speaker, tho a man of fine sense. Yester- day, Johnson of Md, spoke in opposition to "the whole or none." He is considered strong man; but his manner is very unpleasant. The two previous days, were taken up with speech from Evans of Maine, also, opposed to the ul- tras. Evans is very fine speaker, and man of undoubted ability t
 The River and Harbor bill, has been the hob- by in the House for several days. It is gene- rally opposed by the Southern democrats on constitutional grounds.
 Major Donaldson, form CT charge to Texas has been appointed Minister to Prussia, in place of Henry Wheaton recalled, at his own request. Hon. R. M. Saunders, former M. .. from N. c. has been. appointed Minister to Spain; the latter is now in this city. It is expected here. that MT. Sidel will return from Mexico imme- diateIy.

The Eufaula Democrat, in noticing an attack of tte CentreviIle (Bibb county) Advocate on Mr. Yancey, for his vote on the notice"to abrogate lhe convention of 1918, says" we have observed like dis position in higher quarters to make war upon those democrats in Congress, who voted against the passage of the notice, as if they were not friends tf Oregon equally with those who voted for that measure. The question of notice. was one of expedi- ency merely, involving no principle, and we can by no means assent to the propo. stion that it's passage was" of so vital consequence as the Advocate represents.
 Two of our delegation, Messrs. Yancey & Dargan, voted against the notice, us it passed the House of Representatives; and each submitted his reasons, at length, for his vote, which we have, heretofore, pub. lished.
 MT. Yaucey looked upon the "notce" as indicating unfriendy intentions. which must lead to war. In this opinion he is sustained by some of the ablcsl minds in the Union. Many of his friends differed fnm him, but as the Advocate suggests, it was difference |" involving no principle" Mr. Dargan, whose vote has also been criticised, has triumphanlly sustained his course, in an argument that would silence all horest objections, lift were in the hands of the fault finders. We fully agree with MT. Dargan in his positions, as 10 the pro- cess by which the question should be ad- justed; and it is no little honor to his dis crimination, to see the efforts of the ablest men in the senate directed to the mode of settlement suggested by MT. Dargan's res. olulions.

We copy the following complimentary notice of Judge Meek, from the Baltimore American:
 LECTURES. i've attend the Lecture de- livered on Tudsday evening, at tho Rev. MT. Hammers Chi rch,by the Hon. A. B. MEEK, of Alabama. -Afler the opening prayer, the audience were grallfed with fine vo- cal and instrumental performance by the Philharmonic Society, which, 10 those who are fond of music, we have no doubt con- sIiiutes very important feature in the eve- ning's exercises. Judge M. is young man, and m appearance younger than he really is. His subject, "rhe development of the Amcr,c,n Mind," was discussed with great ability and with mu,h originality The lecture was enriched with many class- cal gems, and vas highly appreciated by the refined and intelligent audience to which it was addressed. lls composition disclosed an extensive cading on the part of the lee. turer, and the influence of an education of the most liberal and finished kind.
