EAST INDIA CorToN.-We understand that nc
counts have reached the East India authorities at
home, Of the most encouraging character, as to
the increasing spirit which is now being manifest
ed in India, with regard to the cultivation of cot
ton. We had recently 10 notice a continued and
urgent demand made upon the East India compa
nv by the authorities on the spot, for large sup
Plies OF saws, to fill up new saw gins, the de-
mand for which had become very extensive;
whereas, some little time ago, it wss with the
greatest difficulty that the natives could be in
duced to use them. Two separate supplies have
been already forwarded overland, and another
round the cape. Now, it appears that the dispo-
siton to cultivate the best kinds Of American cot
ton has manifested itself in strong a way, that
the seed has become extremely scarce, and appli-
cation has been made to the government to fur
nsh more, whereas till lately, il was with the
greatest difficulty that the native WINS induced 10
accept il on the cond ton Of planting it, IL an
pears from the most recen, accounts, that the cu-
tivators have ut length discovered that the growth
of American cotton is even more profitable and
prolific than Ind been represented The caIcula-
ton Of Mr.. Pe,rie, iha, the produce Of an acre
10 h. Of Indian, and 80 ID. Of A merican clean
cotton, proves to be considerably under the mark
The truth, in favorable districts, in nearer to Mr.
Shaw s calculation; which was, 60 h. of clean ma
tive cotton, and lis h. Of clean American cotton
to the acre But one Of the chief causes, apart
from the higher price (thc best stimulant OF pro-
duction,) which have induced 10 the more vieor-
ons efforts to increase the growth Of American
cotton in India is, the faciieu afforded by the
agents Of European houses in Bombay, who are
ready to make advances to Me ryots Hitherto,
the only means which they had Of obtaining such
advances, was through the native bankers, who
have always exhibited a strong dislike to Ameri-
can cotton, and have always refused to make ad-
vances on the crop, on tho ground that It was
more precarous than the native cotton. In seve-
raj districts, this impediment IL now quite re-
moved by the interference Of British capital and
energy, no far AZ encouragement to the
ryot can 60, in inducing an improved and an
extended culture We are assured that we may
look for very large increase in the quantity Of
good, useful cotton, shipped from India during

tension is now based upon a ground that will sc.
cure its continuance Manchester Guardian,

Fugitive Slave Act-Duty OF the Ohio
Lrglela ufe.

II il claimed by the supporters Of the late slave
catching enactment Of Congress, that il does not
suspend the writ Of asbsss eoypus and il is agreed
ON all hands that II il does, so much OF would
be nullity, AZ a Congressional enactment can
not override constitutional provision. BY the
Constitution Of the United States no man can be
deprived Of his liberty except bv trial by jury
The only requirement of the Constitution in rea
ton to Fugitive slaves, is, that il they escape into
another State, they shall be delivered up, on
claim Of the party 10 whom services are due. The
law Of Ohio presumes oil OF its citizens TO be free,
until they are proved to be otherwise--to be in
nocent until they have been proved guilty.
Congress has passed law, which, wi,hou, any
State legislation on the subject, may result in taxi
ing our free citizens from their homes and carry
ing them into slavery in defiance of the rights
guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Under
these circumstances il is the duty Of the Ohio le-
gislature to make immediate provision for the is
suing OF writ Of habsas corpus, in favor of every
person arrested within our borders, as fugitive
from service. lfnot discharged by the judge be-
fore whom brought fair trial by jury Of the
fact as to whether the person claimed is slave or
freemen, should, by law, be provided. If it
turn out that he is fugitive, deliver him to the
owner according to the constitutional stipulation.
Definite provision to this effect, by the Ohio le-
gislature would violate no obligation or article Of
faith and fellowship that we owe, either to the
Federal Government or any OF our sister Stafes
and would be nothing more nor less than simply
pointing out the manner in which rights should
be secured to all our citizens-rlghts which are
already guaranteed by the fundam entail law ofihe
Iand-rghs without which the boosted bulwarks
of our lbertics--the habcas corpus and trial by
jury--is mockery.
We call the attention Of our legislators to this
subject. 1t demands their immediate and careful
action. We had expected movement OF this
kind would have been made before this. Yer
mont has nobly performed her duty, as a State,
10 all her citizens, in these respects. Let Ohio
follow her wise and patriotic example Let us
fulfil every obligation imposed upon US by the
Constitution, but act further on the side of
slavery.
The course We recommend is not notification
or disobedience to laws Of the land. II the Fugi-
tive act does not suspend the writ of habeas cor
pus, the proceedings suggested can be had. unde,
State directions, without violating its provisions
On the other hand, if the act suspends the writ, i,
is thus far void, and there is no bar to the plan
proposed

They have told us it was absolutely necessary
to organize a union party to include the con

order to make head against the fanatics North
and the utras South, who were both intent on
destroying the Government. Tne cooperation
of the North was an essential, and sine qua non
to the the success of the scheme; or else, The
Union "was case" Well the North wont 90

a better way to save the Union 1t is to form

treat "a enemies, both unruthless assailant of
that instrument, and the timid crew at the South.
