TO THE PLANTERS OF THE UNITED
STATES

One, who Is of the opinion that when the
price of an article falls below the cost Of pro.
ducton, no class, not even the consumers, arc
ultimately gamers by it, is desirous OF saying a
few words to you with reference to the disposal
of this years crop of Cotton, my object being
to shew that it is decidedly your interest to sell
at home, rather than consign to this country.
When the Cotton belongs to the importer
he counts the cost, and has an interest in giving
his support to The market; whereas, when he
receives il on consignment, his only object is
to earn his commission, go much 50 that often
OF late, when there has been an extraordinary
pressure, to effect sales, at a time when sound
policy would dictate evidently n contrary course,
if any one asked what is the reason of this ?
the invariabc reply was, "Oh! it is consigned
Cotton, and the holders don't care straw for
the price, so that they realize the advance"
appeal to any one, who has had opportuni
ties ofobserving, whether this Is not the case. 1t
is perectly evident that nothing at the present
moment tends so much to keep Cotton a, such
ruinous prices. as the fear that yon will not sell
at home at such low rates. and that quantity of
consigned Cotton will come here and be forced
on the market, thereby taking away The interest
that an importer shnud have, In supporting pr.
ces. and making |, hi, only OBJ bjcct to sell.
One word more. Supply your markets as
sparinsly as possible, and when obi ged to sell,
do so on the spot. You may depend upon it,
that the consigning system is rsinous one to
the planter, because it is the most effectual way
OF keeping down prices on this side. | may
add that this does not emanaie from Tyro, but
one who has known The Cotton trade for up.

trade has worn rather smiling face for the
past week, notwithstanding it was the season Of
the holidays. The Cotton market has present.
ed an animated field, and considerable quanll.
ties have changed hands within few days, at
firm prices. Il is hoped tha, the foreign news,
now hourly expected by the Europa, will give
still further activity TO the market, and at pr.

production. Charleston Mercury. .-.

CAUGHT AT LAsr.-The three swindlers
who have been prowlng about in the counties
of Moore. Cumberland, Robcson, and Rich.
mond, in North Carolina, and in Marlborough
District in this State, for several weeks past,
were arrested and committed TO the Jail of
Richmond county. They had succeeded in
passing off several hundred dollars in ten dollar
counterfeit, bills OH The Bank of Cape Fear, one
hundred dollars oi which was paid 10 Mr..
Charles Dry, of Union county, n. c., in the
District OF Marlborough S. c., for horse; and
$3.50 to Mr.. Noah Gibson, OF Richmond, for a
couple of horses. We have been unable to
learn any of the particulars further than the
above, and that they had refused to give their
names Or answer any questions whatever.-
The country is rife with such swindlers, and the
people should be upon the lookout.
SoUTH CARoLINA.-We are glad to find the
Democratic press of the country award to the
gallant State Of South Carolina the need Of
praise for her political honesty which is her just
right. She is indeed, unlike many Of her sis
ters, unshaken, unseduced, untcrri6cd."
She is now where she ever has been-standing
forth pre- eminently the defender of State Rights
and constitutional guarantees. She is carped
at by political writer's and Free Soil fanatics
but they cannot reach the moral elevation Of
her position, or understand the motives Of pa
lriotism and the 6xedness Of purpose which in.
duces her consistent action.-' Montgomery
