FOR THE MISSISSIPPI eREoIF.
THE WAY TO HEAD THE FREE
STATES.

Mr. EJitor-A written compact is only val
liable when all its conditions are strictly adhe-
red 10. The slave States have the power in
their own hands to enforce a faithful eomPIl-
ance to the federal compact between theStates
If the Union. When eontending parties are
approaching each %ottret, it is the true Pollcy
ana wisdom Of the weaker party to IoFniy hun
self behind a wall that cannot be broken
The question is how is the slave States to pre-
bare this defence. Six thousand cotton bales
built the defence that saved the city OF New
Orleans on the 9Th day Of January, 1915, and
two million five hundred thousand bales Will
fortify the entire slave States against the en-
croachments Of the free States or the world
If the slave Statos Will commence a general
system Of manufacturing cotton, and in hl'eeH
or twenty years they will be able to manulac-
ture every pound Of cotton raised in the United
States: and as soon as we commence this sys~
tenn of defence, the enemies Of the South VIII
begin to huul oil, and by the TIME The ce'ence
is completed, we will not hear one word aga'ns'
NE Institutions Of the South, but all be union
and Brotherly love, and the cords viii tall 'Fo"
the soatb as did the PhiIistian chords from tht
arms of Sampson. This will be a peaceable
! a nrn6table. a lasting and a constitutional de
fence. and this defence will build up Railroads
in every direction, running to and through
those manu- featuring towns and villages, ant
give The south d home neighborhood marke
0 for allour surplus provisionst and work shop
h Of every description will spring up with IN
cotton mills and Railroads, and when the slav
States have completed this honorable defence
the landed estate in the slave States VIII nav
II increased in value more than one thousan'
d million Of dcliara, and lands that will not nov
IS sell at government price, will be in demand
/, from twenty to fifty dollars an acre, and a clea
!, profit to the slave States on the cotton crop {
" more than one hundred millions OF dollars pc
+ annum. The people OF the South can use the
o slaves as the operators in the factories, en-
}. save the heavy weekly cash payments thu
have TO be met by the mill owners in the Ire
States and in Europe, This system will CIV
