The DEPENDENCE OF ENGLAND ON AMERICA,
The London Times in an article Of great ability
deplOres the dependence OF the English manufac-
turers this country for their supply of cotton 1t
pays a high compliment to the enterprise Of the
Americans, who in one generation, have monopo-
zed this culture. The capabilities Of India to fur
nsh the staple are discussed. 1t seems that cotton
equal to that of America can be grown. But the
difficulties are, first, the want of energy among the
Indians, their unwillingness to adopt improved
modes OF husbandry; for instance, they were de-
lighted with the operation of the English plough,
and yet, the moment the agent left they painted it
and hung it up object of worship. The sec
ond difficulty is the want OF roads. The cotton re-
gion is in the interior of the Peninsula, and the
chain Of the Western Ghauts lies between them
and the sea coast Capt. Hall, journeying from
Madras to Bombay, has given the best description
we have seen of that route. The cotton is
conveyed in bags the backs of bullocks for sew
eral hundred miles, exposed to mud and dust, and
loses half its value when it reaches the port This
can be remedied by rail roads, which would not
only furnish safe and cheap conveyance, but might
aid to remove those peculiaritles in the Hindoo
character unlavorable to industry.
We think our planters need not begin 10 think oil
changing their culture next year, at any rate Ii
England draws her cotton from India only when
railroads penetrate the Deccan region, we shall
find market for the Louisiana staple for many a
year. Ameaca is the mistress of Engand-for
she holds the purse strings. Cut off the raw cot
ton, and you bring an Egyptian famine on half oil
Eng land. To us the non.lntercourse with England
would be productive of tRconusntence to her il
would be ruin. 1t speaks well for the progress oil
peace that the most powerful nation which has ever
existed, is held in subsection to poorer and weak.
people, whose only power consists in the fruits
OF the soil.

" 1t needs no explanation, because the object was
obviously 10 prevent the States from forming com
biuations, which would have a tendency to embar-
the General Government. Hence Gen Ham
ion reasoned that the States, acting separately in
their sovereign capacity, would have power always
TO protect themselves against aggressions of the
Federal Government, because they would have
the facilities Of u rapid communication with each
other.
IAN the officers of the State Governments are
sworn to support the Constitution of the United
States. All combinations between the State Gov

II the States could, whilst members of the
Confederation, organize a Southern Convention,
they could also organize permanent Southern
Congress.
Nobody denies the right oftle people, az then

NEWSPAPERS IN LoNQoN-Enormous Gopern-
nIent Iares on Advertising. English journals,
we remark are strongly and untedly urging Par
Lament to abolish the present oppressive duties
levied upon every advertisement that appears in
their columns. The people-the business communi-
ty, we should think-would demand such reform
loudly the editors, for upon them it operates
quite as GENEROUSLY. The tax Government imposes
upon each advertisement is one shilling and six
pence, correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American, writing from London, in referring to
this subject, says:
1.-The Times does not complain of these taxes,
although the leading journal of Europe pays an
nualy TO the Government no less than ninety five
thousand pounds sterling in the shape of taxes
This is nearly half million of dollars. This enor-
mous sum is thus collected The taxes on the I'M
printed paper amount to $4,000 per annum the
taxes the Advertisements amount to fl9 600, and
the stamp duty amounts to 100000. The last sum
includes the penny duty the regular double sheet
of the Times and the half penndy stamp on its sup
plement"
