TUE CoTToN CRop.-The man who mas
paid any attention to passing events can
not but have noticed that, with regard 10
the Cotton crop, there is, every year, an effort
made upon the part of one portion OF the COM
rnunity to magnify its extent, whilst an equal
" strenuous effort is made upon the part of
another portion of the community TO make the
crop appear very small. Now this is natural,
as the world goes. The producer is anxious
to get the impression abroad that the crop is
short one because he knows if he can manage
this that he will enhance the price OF the artl-
Gle whilst, On the other hand, those who are
in the market as buyers for consumption, are
anxious to create the impression that the a.
mount produced is very large, we'll knowing
that this impression will depress the price
Both parties are actuated by self interest We
recollect well that last season those whose IN
tcrest il was, both in this country and IN Eu-
rope, Manufactured the impression that the
crop of '46 was a very large one--that 1t was
well on to 2 500, 900 bales-when the result
proved that it was but about 100000 bales.
This impression had its desired effect, and a
large portion of the crop of '46 was sold at
very low figure. The same attempt is being
made this year. We see that the estimate is
put up 10 the old figure of 100000 bales,
when, we think, that time will shew that it
will not exceed, an average, say 1000, 900,
or 2, 200, 900 bales. We know the fact that
in several OF the cotton growing States there
has been considerably less than ali average
crop made But we also know that in the
two largest cotton growing States, Mississippi
and Louisiana, the crop has been good one
beyond an average, if our information is
correct. From all that we can gather, how
ever, we have come to the conclusion that the
crop Of the present year will be about an av-
erage one.
AS 10 the price, it is now depressed, but we
venture the prediction that it will materially
improve before the LIST of March next. We
feel assured that the monetary difficulties in
England-our largest customer for the article
has been, and is, the main cause of the pres
ent low prices. These affairs, however, are
upon the mend, and we doubt not but that so
soon as the present crisis has passed away in
that country, and money matters again become
easy, that Cotton will improve. Time alone
can shew the correctness of our opinion.

THE MEXICAN NEws.-Tn another portion
OF our paper, we give all the Mexican news
that has arrived at our office during the past
week 1t will be found late and interesting
It will be seen that the dates from the City of
Mexico, are up 10 the 14th of the present
month. and will no doubt be observed as
somewhat singular by the reader, that there is
nothing further said about the arrest of Worth,
Pillow and Duncan. We presume that the
newspaper correspondents are awed into ST.
lence by the fear of General SCOTS vengeance
In addition to the intelligence published else
where, we find in the Picayune of the 23d in
slant, two very interesting letters from Jalapa,
detailing the execution of the two Mexican
officers, Garcia and Alcalde, who were shot
on the 24th November, by the order of Gen'l
Patterson. They had been taken prisoners of
war by the American Army at Vera Cruz, and
had been permitted 10 go at large upon their
giving their parole of honor, that they would
not again take up arms against the L. States.
his parole they violated, and were again ia
ken in the act Gen. Patterson ordered mi
h'ary court TO try them, and on their being
found guilty, they were ordered TO be shot
We hope this example will have its effect
We scarcely think that there is much founda-
ton for the rumor spoken oiby the Picayune's
correspondent, that the Mexican Government
had sent a commissioner to Washington for
the purpose of asking our Government to ap-
point commissioners to meet Mexican COM
mlssloners at Havana, for the purpose of trea-
ting tor peace. The reader will be struck
with the vigor of Gen. SCOTS orders with re-
gard to the guerrllas. We think that it is
high time that they should be put down by

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA
Mr.. Clay, in his great Lexington speech, sug-

primary assemblies, for the purpose of dis
cussing the war question. They are taking
Mr.. Clay at his word with vengeance In
Philadelphia, on the 18th inst, the democra-
Cy held at the Hall of the Chinese Museum, a
meeting to sustain the war and the admins
taton, which for numbers and enthusiasm,
has rarely been surpassed in that city. The
democrats of Pennsylvania will sustain Mr.
Polk as cordially as they did in IA, when
they cast their votes for him. They will sus-
tain the administration in the vigorous prose
cution of the war. In word, they will 60

ted at this great meeting were bold, frank and
manly We wish our limits would permit US
to spread them before our readers. They are
long and able, and thoroughly democratic
throughout. The people are responding TO
Dir. Clay's suggestion with a vengeance!
