manufactures which paid enormous dividends.
Many cotton planters have gone 10 California
In fact, low prices in past years have forced
them TO do any thing rather than raise cotton
These are some Of the causes which have
produced q short crop, and the short crop has,
Of course, been the cause Of the rise in price
Of the raw material from eighttO thirteen cents.
Why should not the price ofthe manufactured
article rise in prOpoFIiOn? Ii cainot be said,
because Of European composition. The Eu,
rOpean has to pay the increased rise for the
raw material, as well as the New England
manu- facturer, and the duty which protects the
New Englander and bars the Old lEngander,
is about thirty to thirty-ihree per centum,
which is against the Southern consumer, and
in favor Of the pockets Of the New England
manufacturer, as much as though il was voted
from the one, and given to the other, by Cons

We will give the true reason why New
England manufacturers and cotton mills are
shutting up shop, and werocOmtnend them to
| put tin their pipes and smOkeit, while their
mills are closed and they have got nothing else
t. do. The truth Of what we are about 10 say,
has been, is, and will continue to be, tested and
proved by the bitter and ruinOus experience Of
the New England people, If they don't wheel
about, repent of their unjust do.ngs to the
South, and commence new career Of righte-
s ousncss, and support the slave labor Of the
\ South, which, after all, they find is what has
