only to about 1000 bottles; but such was its ass

General convention Of cotton Planters.

MEETING OF THE COTTON PLANTERS OF LEON
COUNTY, FLORIDA.
AT a meeting of planters, convened at the
Courthouse in the city OF TalIahassee' on
Saturday, the 26th ultimo, Col. Robert Butler
was called to the chair, and, after a brief expa
nation of the objects of the meeting Col John
parkhill and DIR. G. w. Holland, were appointed
vice presidents, and b. f. Allen requested to act
as secretary.
On motion, a committee of five consisting of
lanes r.. Broome, Edward Iioustoun, II. H.
Leonard, Richard Hayward, and George Whit
field, were appointed by the chair to present
business TO the meeting.
The committee retired for a few moments,
and through their chairman, James T.. Broome,
submitted to the meeting the following report
and resolutions
Your committee have had under consideration
the subject Of Cotton Planters convention, and
beg leave to submit the following report:
There is, perhaps, no interest in the world
surrounded with 80 many difficulties, or subject
to 40 many disasters, as the cotton planting in
terest The great irregqarity in the production,
caused by the seasons, and the appearance or
non.appearance of numerous enemies peculiar
to this plant, produces fluctuations in the price,
such as appear to visit no other great interest.
dent 10 the production and sale of this staple,
appears 10 be question which hos yet engaged
very small share Of the planters attention
How far the difficulties which surround us are
attributable to over pro luctiOn, or to irregular
production, or how far they result from making
our controlling markets too far from our own
gin houses, or how far o remedy for our evils
might be supplied by judicious concert OF ac-
ton among cotton planters, are all questions
in which we seem to feel but little concern
These, and many others connected with this
subject, might, rs your committee believe, be in
vestigated with great benefit; and such labor
would be peculiarly appropriate to cotton
planters convention.
Having met for the purpose Of considering
the expedicncy Of calling on our cotton planting
brethren to meet US in convention, 1t is perhaps
proper that your committee should present the
reasons which induce them to advocate such
call These will require, to some extent an ex
animation of the causes OF our difficulties and
the possibility Of applying remedy. In this
examination, the first question WHICH presents
itself for our consideration, is the question of
over production.
The dcpressions in price to which we are
forced so often to submit, are attributed. gen.
craly to over-production. To ascertain wheth
er this has been the cause. aggregates must be
looked to, and not the relative production and
of any single year. For the pur
pose of testing this matter, your committee have
gone back as far as the year 1925, and lind that
up to the year 1850, the production has not
exceeded the consumption. On this subject
they present the following table, in which Is
shown the average annual production and aver
Are consumption Of the world, for each period
Of five years, from 1925 to 1850.

Release Of Captain Ellis.

The editor Of the New York Daily Times has
had an interview with Capt Robt Ellis, OF
Washington, one Of the Cuban prisoners, who,
having received a pardon, has just returned
home. The Times says:
Captain Eli, speaks in the highest terms Of
Lopez's bravery; but does not consider him as
having Possessed the elenents necessary TO sue
cess with a small fore. Ellis was senior Cap
tain in Col Downnan's command, and while de

battle, was wounded ia the left hand by mus.

but without uju,ing the bones.

struck his own muskct, and CHANGING, lost it,
force before entering his body. Hmself and a
party of friends, after the dispersion of Lopez
took refuge in peasants hui which was sur.
rounded soon after by the Spanish troops. who
took them prisoners, bound them, and set then
in u row TO be shot. The commanding officer
after a brief deliboration, altered his mind, con
GLIDING To postpone the execution until he coulC

that all taken should bs sent into Havana.
Thus sgain were they reprievei. Their cap

Capt. Ellis was sent 10 the hospital, and no
being reported convalescent prior to the sailing

The Letter Of EX-Viee President Dallas.

We publish this letter to-day. Mr.. DALLAS
is well known all over the Union as a statesman
of long experience in public affairs, and as one
of the very ablest men of Pennsylvania Iiis
admission of the failure of the compro mise is
extorted from his candor-for he was n warm
supporter of that scheme-at least after il was
adopted.
Mr.. DALLAS is right in saying that an amend
ment of the Constitution would be the best
mode of settling the slavery question, in refer
ence to the federal government But whist al.
most every man in the North must admit this.
we quite confident that not one in ten believes
such an amendment possible or probable They
all know too well that the power in the North
which assails the South, is too strong to permit
its own control thus to be taken away An,
they know more than that--they know that il
such thing had been practical before, it is no
longer so, since the widespread display of sub.
mission that has been made in the South.
If the Southern Suites had remained united
in their resolutions of lsiS-49, the new terri
tory would have been divided with some pre-
tence to equity. If two or three Southern
States had determined to resist the compromis,
at all hazards and to the last extremity, the com
promise even then would have been amended
the Constitution might have been amended.
But now the peril Of the Union ia greatest
The South has no further resource in words
and that is of itself a catastrophe. Every
man in the South must feel that there is nc
mode left for Southern State TO express Itself
in language that would be respe ted at tn,
North.
1t seems to us that the submission State
have arrived at that position. Hence, wheneve
the time comes when aggression has exhausted
patience, there will be no words, there will be M
opportunity for protest, for conference, for com
promise. There will be acts. Now this is
dangerous state Of things. This we strove tc
avert-and for this we were denounced as dis
unionists. We are much mistaken if il will not
be found, if dsunion comes, that the architects
are Of quite different school.

be resumed in the colonies. From British In
dia, the quantities received depend upon differ
ent set of circumstances, but Of such a nature
as to forbid any very sanguine hope OF great and
permanent increase in the shipments. After
continuing the argument at some length, atten-
ton is called to the immense Increased consump-
ton OF their cotton mills, showing That In 1900,
they consumed 56,0l0732 lbs, and IN 1919,
775,46o,00o lbs, and remark 1t is by no
means improbable that the consumption during
the last nine years would have gone forward at
a constantly accelerated pace, so that 1t would
by this time, have gone beyond l,0O0,OOO,0OO
pounds in the year, but for the check given TO il
in the present year through insufficieney in the
supply of the raw ma erial" This
increase has been concurrent with, AM mainly
caused, by continual reduction in the price OF
cotton
son the other hand, the continual fall in the
price has acted as stimulus on the producers,
(Amerlcan) who have hitherto made up, IN
general by the extent of their cultivation, for the
diminished price of their crops" Thus 1t is
seen that increased supplies are greatly wanted,
but their experience is that the surest means of
stimulating production in the United States Is
TO reduce the price. Your committee might
furnish many authorities to show that in Great
Britain, the great head OF manufacturing indus-
try, the idea that markets may not be found Tor
all the cotton goods she can procure the raw
material to produce, has long since been aban-
doned. Even the government is alarmed AT
the prospect of their industry being seriously
checked, not for the want of customers, but for
the want of cotton The most powerful efforts
have boon made. and are still being made, to
stimulate the production of cotton in every
country where there 10 hope of success How
far they have succeeded may be inferred from
the fact that, in five years preceding 1850, the
production in India and Brazil declined sixteen
per cent, and In the same time the supplies Of
Surat and Madras declined twenty four per cent
Thus, it will be seen that, notwithstanding the
extraordinary efforts made to stimulate produc-
ton in every quarter, the United States is the
only country that has continued to furnish in
creased supplies. But the character of our in
crease for the last twenty years, must give small
consolation to those who apprehend difficulties
from short sui ply OF raw cotton. Our per
cent, increase has been regularly and rapidly
diminishing, ~ Is shown in the following table,
the data of which we take from Hunts Mer-
cahnts' Magazine, a work Of high commercial
cbaracter
