sensation has been prgfeneeI among sptnnets,ahd
A perfect lubIee celebrated in Manchester on
account Of an alleged mistake 10 reporting the
stock of cotton on haud It appears that there were
some 5000 bales in Liverpool, on the Isl inst,
more than had been Showed by previous weekly .
reports, which 10 my mind Is readily accounted .
for by the following named causes VIZ; lo'ooo .
bales sent over by The railroad from GLASGOW,
some from London, the resale Of SpnuerS cotton
in an advancing market, resale OF cotton bought .
tor E1port--lhe including in the return cotton
still lying here on spiuners account &c.;Nith what
object all his has been done and sadjed upon the
! brokers We can readily ir,,as inc whoa toho0t
/ upon the very great Importance these people al
iacb IN even the mere exhibition "a the world OF
rs large stock as possible Just At this time; but
all these paltry expcdiens only serve 10 disclose
their actual weakness. Like small statue upon
a LOFTY pedestal, the greatness OF whose elevation
only serves 10 render lis lit!eness and lnsignih'
canoe the more conspicuous. Spinners have Jast
that much private stock less than they were sup
posed to have had, and now have It to buy that
i all; they raised shout 81 triumph however IN
Manchester when they had succeeded IN ehctng
hi, report, another shout IS in reserve for them,
that of despair, when the truth : revealed to them
that the American crop falls short OF two millions
of bales. 100000 is the least that they can con.
template with any degree patience and even
with that see to what straits they are driven, eve.

"Oh dear, oh dear ruin, ruin, rum, caught IN our
own trap, too bad, too bad, and now these ninny-
headed planters will find out the real value OF
cotton
And 50 hope they will and also learn proper
~ t. appreciate the inestimabe heritage that
providence has bestowed upon them and not Esan
like sell it for mess Of ponage. Though a
small scope Of country it is nevertheless the only
one on the face of the earth where the three nee
essary elements combine TO secure the profitable
and extensive cultivation Of cotton. Clmote-
so--and Stare labor
The London Economist Of IAN. 9th, lsj0,in an
article headed, Further facts as 10 or cotton
prospects, say: "For many years it was the
custom ofthe Pacha OF Egypt to require certain
amount OF cotton from his tenants or subjects
fact to compel them to pay the whole or fixed
norton of their rent in cotton. Under this tor
cling system, the cultivation was extensively ln'
troduced. OF late years, however the leIah'
have been allowed 10 grow the article, or not a
their option; and such is their natural Incidence
and want OF enterprise, that even when they st''
continue to cultivate the growth, they do 50 IN
very careless manner, &c" There then IS TIT
whole secret Of extensive and profitable couoi
culture in nut shell--nothing but slave labor cal
do it.
And now gentlemen cotton planters, il you thi
year part with another pound tor less than i
cents, or in all time TO come tor less than ~ an

lace, eternay to which you have 50 Iamely SUI

manufactures and establish others as last as 20
can-in ten years we shall have forty millions
population and a home market for most OF gu
cotton. and be prepared to turn these Ephramte
W over to their idols, free laborers.
