CorToN.--The annual " liverpool Cir
cular" of Dec. 81, lsi5, says:--
The deductions to be drawn from all the
facts before us are, as usual, liable TO much
uncertainty; and the crop, after all, IN the
opinion VI most persons, is the man point
upon which, as far as cotton is concerned,
the future depends There are some who
rate this high and consider that il will
roach 100000 TO 100000 bales, but
there are others equally well informed,
who pretend that 100000, bales will be
the marimam, Added to thus contingency
there is the certainty of large consump.
ton and good trade, and the remote pos
sibIlity of war; hut the transactions OF this
year, as far as regards spectators, have
been so unfortunate that il is probable the
market will be lett very much to the trade
for some time 10 come, and, under these
circumstances, il is rare for prices to i'm,
prove, either very rapidly or considerably
Decline seems considered by every one 10
be out OF the question; but whether any
material rise is 10 be experienced, depends
upon points that are vet doubtful, that to
predict an important rise, should i prove
to be the case, would be rather fortunate
conjecture than the result Of reasoning
which, al present, could be fully justified

0.s- A person writing us . letter from
Jackson, over an anonymous signature,
in speaking Of certain bill, says
"Should It be voted down, | believe the
result win be an immediate adjournment
Of the present session."
Iftho writer is correct in his conjecture,
the defeat Of that bill is a contamination
most ardenlly to be prayed for,

ONG TERM " PmNciPLn. The ~ O.
DcJa, in comment upon the resolutions
of Mr. Bagby proposing 10 amend the
Constitution of the United States, has The
following sensible remarks on the one term
principle"
"But, as we said, Mr., Bagby is an i'm
mense MANI He sees much evil in the
raelgibiIity Of the President and Vice
President to Office, Il is not right nor pro-
per that a man who has occupied the place
Just long enough TO understand its duties,
should b. continued in 1.-THE would know
too much--hc would conduct the affairs Of
the country too well--and though the PEG.
pie should unanimously wish TO reflect
him, and though the snlety Of the republic
might deyend on his reelection, yet after
his first term, he must be Ineligible, and
the choice Of the people must BIO restrict
ed This we call The subimity OF Pellti-
cal wisdom, and we look upon Mr.. Bagby
os the most sublime of politicians Let
us, for tho benefit of all future time, re-
duce his first resolution into maxm--a
maxim which should be printed in letters
Of gold, and hung over the maneEpece
Of every voter; " When man has tho.
roughly learned aud properly discharged
his duty, the people shall no longer have
the right to place him in position where
no can render them any services"
This is the essence of the doctrine
/. leters the popular Wilt tends to pro-
duce instability in the administration Of
affairs, and unnecessarily, against the
sense Of the body polite, to force upon us
a change of rulers.
"Really aud seriously, this humbug Of
tie some term principle" what is il? A
scheme Invented by second ratio polii-
clans, who hope by that to set ASIDE those
who have superior claims, IN order that
they may have the better chance 10 attain
the highest point Of all ambition, the tenn.
porary Presidency of the republic. lis
effect, if adopted, can only be to restrict
the popular choice, and TO force upon clI-
zens men whom they would not have cho-
sen were no such restriction adopted -
This is the SUM of the whole.
"Leavc these taings 10 the public action
1t is safest, best. If displeosed, they
will bring down the powerful, as they did
Adams and Van Buren,; or elevate the
humble, as they did Harrison and Polk
