say" The attempt to cultivate cotton in the
West Indies is still carried on, in despite Of
repeated failures there, and in others quarters
The signal failure of the Turkish experiment
is familiar to ALL The control of the great staple
of our Southern States, one of the most potent
engines of modern civilization, seems destined
long to be held in her hands,
The London Morning Chronicle says:
CoTToN GROWING IN JAMAICA.-We learn
from the intelligence brought by the last mail,
that the cultivation of cotton is engrossing the
attention Of the most influential merchants Of
Jamaica. A company has been formed to try
experiments on very considerable scale, and
hopes are entertained that, by the production of
n new staple, the decline of the trading interests
in the island may be arrested In some Of the
other islands public attention has been directed
to the same subject, and it may be anticipated
that the production of cotton will be very gen.
orally attempted throughout the British Antilles
The climate and the soil are favorable to the
growth of the cotton plant, which is in fact
Indigenous, and is at the present moment -four
ishing as weed in many parts of Jamaica
The samples which have been sent over to this
country have been favoraby received at Man
chester and Glasgow, and it appears that it only
requires little industry and perseverance to
enable the British grower to rival the American
in the finest as well as in the ordinary qualities.

Short speech from Mr.. Webster.

AT Boston, a few days ago, Mr.. WEBSTER was
invited to attend the launch of ship which
bore his name, and his counterfeit presentment
as its figure head. They made it necessary for
him to respond, by calling him out, and doubt
less expected to draw a speech out of him. All
he said on the occasion was:

see you, fellow citizens. came here to see

of Boston than she is, and don't think | shall

Some time since we re.published the Present
ment of the Petit Jury Of Harris. We give
now another of the same description from the
Grand Jury of Cobb county. We extract it
from the Augusta Republic. M
ANOTHER GRAND jury PREsENTMENT.-We
extract the following from the Grand Jury
Presentments Of Cobb county, as published in
the Marietta Advocate. 1t is the true Southern
doctrine:
"As citizens, we claim it as a right and pri-
vilege to express our views and feelings upon
any matter touching our constitutional rights,
either State or Federal That the subject OF
domestic slavery in the territories OF the United
States has become question OF bitter discord
and angry excitement, both in Congress and
throughout the country, is clearly evident, and
much to be regretted. The constitutional rights
of citizens Of slaveholding States have Teen
assailed by the continued and unwarrantable
aggressions of Free-soil fanaticism. This I'M
authorized interference with our domestic insti-
tutions, though exceedingly harrassing and an
noying, has been long patiently borne for the
sake of harmony and the Union. We cherish a
sincere and ardent attachment to the Union of
the States upon original principles, for its equal
rights and privileges guaranteed to us by the
Constitution, and would make reasonable and
honorable sacrifices for its preservation. But
when these rights and the Constitution are
manifestly disregarded, which we consider has
been done, and the Union is sought to be made
the efficient instrument of unauthorized aggres-
sion, our love for it ceases.
If the Mexican law prohibiting slavery in the
territories be yet in full force, and Congress
should still neglect or refuse to remove the OBJ
struction, the people of the South are as ef1ec-
tually excluded from the enjoyment of their
rights in the territories as they would be We're
the Wilmot Proviso extended over the whole
public domain. We therefore protest against
the admission of California into the Union with
her present boundaries and constitution, for we
regard any interference or Legislation by Con-
gress, the effect of which is calculated to impair
the ri ghts of shareholders, below the Missouri
Compromise of $3.50, as a palpable infringe
ment of Southern rights, and should be promptly
met by the South with determined resistance.

From the .4,tstin (Teras) american.

PEARcE's BLL.-Pearce's Bill has passed the
Congress of the United States, and wants but
the consent of the people of Texas to become
law of the land. Will the people of Texas give
that consent! Will they quietly consent to bar
ter away so valuable portion of the State for
a pecuniary consideration, and at the same time
work irreparable injury to posterity! Will the
people of Texas consent that interference by
the Federal Government shall begin with her,
henceforth to be used as precedent for all the
future encroachments on State rights? Will the
State of Texas consent that through the prece-
dent sought to be established, Congress shall
hereafter seek to interfere with the local insttu-
ton of the South?
These are grave questions; but they are very
pertinent to the state of affairs as now presented
to our view, and they bear heavily on the future
prosperity Of Texas. We know no other wav
of Judging of the future than by reading over
the past. AS all writers on political affairs say
that it is by the past history of nation that the
conduct of future generations is to be Judged
1t is reading the history of Texas that assures us
the people will not submit to pass the bill present
ed to them by Congress. A bill which is ut best
as unconstitutional as it is unfavorable to South
ern rights, being concocted only to redeem from
the stigma Of slarery" at least four degrees
more OF latitude than was comprehended in tho
articles of annexation. What caused our now
beautiful State to separate herself from he
mother, and assume "a place among nations
but the fact that the Republic of Mexico hac
merged into central government? And i
this proposition is to be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES tn,
Congress of the United States is to mark ou
the confines of one of the Confederacy, ther
also is the Government of the United State,
fast verging towards centralism.

Course of Texas.

We received last night, half.a-dozen different
papers from Texas. majority of them are op-
posed to the acceptance Of PEARcE's Bill, and
among them the Texas State Gazette and South
Western American, both at Austin, the seat Of
Government
We find that the bill is regarded there rs an
attempt to buy saveholding territory to be con-
verified into Free-so. They have not made the
profound discovery of Messrs. BAYLy, COBB, q
Co. that it converts Free-soil into slave terri
tory We make the following extracts:
From the Teras State Gazette.
It has been remarked that the acceptance of
this proposition would elevate Texas, by giving
an impulse to immigration; adding to her wealth,
and facilitating the development of her resOur-
ces We know not to what extent these desira-
Bile results may be superinduced by its accept
ance: but we can undertake to say, that it will
beget for Texas name and distinction as lasting
as will be the history of any event connected
with free institutions. Esau gave perpetuity to
his name by selling his birth-right for mess of
pottage. We are not informed rs to the precise
circumstances which surrounded him when the
memorable bargain was consummated; and per-
haps charity, which is taught, as a cardinal vir-
tue, in the Volume that records the bargain,
ought to suggest the probability of an empty
stomach as the moving cause. Texas may OBJ
tain similar notoriety. She may sell her birth
right but the fat things which are spread be-
fore her to tempt her to do the act, will be re-
served for others. She may, indeed, stand by
and uitneSS the interesting scene; but she will
not be permitted to pick the crumbs that may
fall from her masters table, while, with water
ing mouth, she beholds the savory dish devoured
by the morbid appetites of Wall street brokers
and jobbers. When the people of Texas shall
have accepted this proposition, we shall be ready
to exclainl, "Sic transit gloria mundi."

EtoaugscE.-Though q great man
said that words are things" the
agents who have created the greatest
things were men Of fewest words.
Washington could not have made an
Grafton to save his life, and Jefferson,
who wrote the Declaration of Inde-

thinking on his feet. I'VE do not
underrate the force Of grand and
impassioned speech; we hold that
utterance is a Sublime faculty, that 1t
can set the brain on fire, and the
heart In fame !; but to guide a nation,
when that nation has reached its
