COTTON-ITS PROSPECTS, DEMAND
AND SUPPLY.

The late intelligence from Europe, quoting
an extensive demand. and an advance in the
price Of Cotton, is cheering to'ihe prospects OF
the planter, and promises 4 continuance ot tair
prices for the future. The Importance o the
Cotton trade, the probable demand and supply,
and the future course of prices, are subjects ex.
citing deep anxiety and careful investigation
abroad, and certainly, from their important
hearing on the prosperity of the South, should
he not less subject Of examination with us.
A fair inquiry then, into some important lacts
affecting future prices, will show, we think, that
present rates are oaly legitimate, and that even
somewhat higher may he expected.
We will first view the subject in its general
aspect. remarking that the examination will be
confined to American Cotton. as by lis pros.
pecis all other kinds will be governed. The
crop Of last year, the largest ever made, amount
ed to ,2,729, 900 bales. For every bale OF this
there has hpen demand, and that not OF
speculative character. but to meet the actual
wants. Of consumption.
Let us then examine first what will be the
probable supply for the coming season:

Southern seaports on lst Sept. was l42'734b

We have estimated the crop at but one-fonrth
short, which we think full estimate. consider.
ing the accounts received from all sections OF
the Cotton growing country. Hence. it is evil
dent, that if the demand of this season equals
that Of the last. the supply will fall short Of it
by 100000 bales.
The next inquiry is, what will be the pro.
bable demand?

THE RIGHT sPIRIT.

We commend the following extracts
from letter written by Hon. Mr.. HOP
KINs, our Charge in Portugal, to friend
in this city, to the especial attention Of the
Opposition presses. The doctrines are
those which every man Of common sense,
not blinded by party rage, must approve.
To suppose that an Administration can
carry on its affairs prosperously, without
all the aid that it can derive from Jealous,
able, and enthusiastic friends, is an alb
surdity. With such men it must surround
itself. Upon such men it must lean. An
administration which surrounds itself with
men lukewarm, or Indifferent, or hostile,
makes enemies of its friends, without
making friends of its enemies.
81 should have said that, whenever il might be
the pleasure of the President to appoint my sue
cessor, it would be my pleasure that you should
seek ieGue for me to return | consider this due to
the Administration, and ! have no wish to be re-
garded as having been victimized or prescribed by
It, or to profit by any sympathy which might pos
sbly result to me from Il. / repeat my willingness
to relieve the Administration from any possible en-
barrassment on my humble account, and shall hold
myself in readiness to receive its orders, and with
out any regret concern except SO far as explained
in my letter of the 9th instant"
"Under our happy system of free government,
(Which may God in his mercy bless and perpeuate,)
the President Of the United States il made particu-
larly responsible for the administration of our pub
lie affairs, foreign and domestic; and the right to
choose his own agents is not only secured to him
by the Constitution, but propriey and necessity
for the wise and patriotic exercise of it results from
his own just responsibility. To deprive him of the
right of calling to his aid those in whose integrity,
friendship, and sympathy, personal and political,
he can safely con6de, would greatly weaken and
impair this very responsibility. That this right
may, like many Others, be abused, is equally clear;
but that neither disproves the existence Of the right
nor the propriety for prudent exercise of it,"

The Daily Globe and Union.

The opposition organ in New York is
evidently not in tune with the organ here,
thus contradicting the assertions of the lat
ter in relation to the Secretary of State
and the North american:
"John M. Clayton, Secretary of State, denies, by
the Washington Republic, that he is, or ever was,
part proprietor Of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, or any other paper If the contrary was the
case, he would probably be more careful to have
General Taylor keep his pledges. All the old
Wings realize that the shameful violation of Gen.
eral Taylor's promises will ruin their party for
years to Gomez
There is Misrepresentation in the latter
part of the above paragraph, but ten
dency to that vice seems to be inherent in
some of our contemporaries.
