A NEw CoTTos PLANT.-The editor of the
Orleanian has seen boil of cotton that deserves
rapid growth and early maturity. On the lst Of
June last, lady planted in her flower garden a
few cotton seeds presented her by gentleman.
On the 25Ih of July, boil was ready for pick
ing, and at the end of sixty days from the time
of planting, the cotton bad arrived at maturity
being in less than one-haf of the time it
takes the species now raised by our planters to
the cultivation of the great Southern staple
The seeds were introduced by Mr.. HYAMs from
Yucatan, and are styled the Alica
The southern press., 1851-09-06
From The South Caroiinian.
What arc we COntendlng for

The resistance contemplated by South Caro-
lima, and threatened by her sisters, has the pro-
lection of the institution Of slavery as its chief
end ard object Year after year have the arch
friends of abolitionism been plotting and carry
ing out their Internal schemes against this insti-
tuition, and the only wayma ks in their progress
have been at the periods when the South
begged for parley, and made such concessions
as temporarily appeased the evil spirit But
there has not been single trace left, or record
standing, by which we can learn that the South
ever gained the first lot or title OF exemption
from further aggression. The work has gone
on, and it is only when overwhelming destruc-
ton becomes apparent TO almost every body,
that feeble show of resistance is manifested
But another rirley has been held and the mas
ter cor romiser has struck another effectua
blow at the Union and strength of the South
He has seceeded, but we earnestly trust, anu
hopefully believe, uotaltogether. There has been
one too many, and prudence whispers that
another would be the last and finishing stroke
The protection of our institu on then--the
absolute and inherent right to manage it as we
see fit, is one thing South Carolina will secede
for, and the frat duty she owes to her own honor
and to the protection Of the rights of her people
demand that she should defend the one and
protect the other, be the consequences what
they may.
y Closely connected with the protection Of
slavery, is the arrestng, as far as the South is
concerned, of the progress of a consolidated de-
mocricv. Repubicanism---a confederated re-
public is widely different from central despot-
ism, swayed and governed n all its actions by a
reckless majority. When the fathers of the
Q, vernment declared that "tbese States are. and
Of right ought to be, free and Independent" they
had no idea that they were upsetting one form
of despotsm, that sent its oppressive edicts
acros the Atlantic, for the purpose of establish
ing another Mt home. They declared the STATES
free and ependent--independen within them
., and free TO exercise their respec i've sov-
elN mites to protect their own citizens from any
aqgressons from any quarter But their sons
have learned new lesson in republicanism,
which defines the principles of that form of gov
ernment to be all concentrated in the viii Of the
dominant major ty, ,unrestrained by constitutional
obligations, and boldly denying that the s tes
thus declared free and independent, ever pos
sessed any sovereignty at all.
This il the progress that the South must con-
tend against Let such doctrines become en-
grated on the government and where is any
protection to her rights and institutions 10 be
found The institution Ct slavery and the prn-
cpes of free trade and equal taxation would
fall before them with most fatal certainty. And
are we to be told that the Union must be pre-
served-be perpetual, when these are the sure
The southern press., 1851-09-06

1t is denied that the publishers Harpers have
contributed tn the establishing of Raymond's
new Free-soil journal in New York On the
contrary, they are set down as having been al
ways Southern men in feeling, and friendly TO
the South AS we gave publicity to the state
ment of the firm having contributed ten thous
and dollars for the contemplated publication. we
now present our readers with the other version
Of it, 1t struck us at the time Of copying the
article relative to that paper and the Harpers
that their course was an impoltic one, ns much
of their business was in the South and South
west and with Southerners-O Orleo,,ian
We have seen paragraphs like the above ir
several Southern papers, and other pnrap aph,
in the same quarters respecting the strong
Southern feeling which governs Hsrper's Maga
zine. They are absurd The literary actuarie,
OF the llarpers. the selectors of their books anc
the editors Of their Magazine, are Henry Ray,
mond, the ex-Free soil editor of the Courier and
Enquirer, and George Ripley, ex-president o.
the Socialist Phalanx at Roxbury, Massachusetts
now one of the abolition, socialist and infide
editors Of the Tribune. For the learning. tai
ents, and general character of these gentlemen
we have much respect, but how ridiculous the
pretence that they have respect for the South
or for any really conservative principles As to
the Harpers' connexion with Mr. Raymond,
Free soil paper, the forthcoming New Yort

From tie Louisiana Democrat.

We give to-day report from memory Of an
impromptu speech delivered before the Demo
cratic nominating convention, by Gen John q.
Gilbert, of Csddo. Those who heard that manly
effort will observe that whilst we have given the
substance Of the generals remarks, IN many
places literal copy Of his language, we have
somewhat altered the construction Of sentences
and perhaps exercised a reporters right in other
respects. More than this we h We not attempted
for neither can we paint the lilly nor gild re-
fined gold
Gilbert is no longer a stranger here. Frle
had heralded him AS one of the most eloquent
and captivating speakers of the State, and it the
opinion of one who has had rare oppo,tunties
of seeing and hearing the masters Of orato. ,
may be taken for anything. he must copy tie
very first rank among the public speakers of the
day His appearance is quite prepossessinr r. and
he has the grace, ease, and elegance of manner
of a favorite at court. Self possession in him
is perfect, and the grace of oratory are shat-
owed forth in his every movement and tone.
His time will come.
