Stock Of Cotton In Liverpool.

The following article from the New York
Courier and Enquirer relative to the declared
stock Of cotton in Liverpool, we think worthy
Of attention.
The Asia's advces disappoint the trade gen
orally, but produced no effect upon prices. The
addition made TO the stock was not uneXpec ted
but the practice sconsdered on this side, at least
although sanctioned by usage, as very reprehcn-
sbe. Ii has, however, signally failed in the eff.
feet desired We anticipated it from the neces.
| sty OF the case, rs it was evident that the stock
was running down too fast in Liverpool to suit
| the views of Manchester, and accordingly wrote
in our article, per Europa, Dec. 3Isi: Much III
terests felt to learn the declared stock of Amer
lea in Great Britain on the 3lst Dec, and on
this subject there is wide margin in the est.
mates here made, arising solely, however, from
the different views entertained of the quantity
to be added for error in stock taking"
| we hazard nothing in saying that the supply
that can be obtained from the present crop, will
at current rates, fall short Of the actual require
ments for the consumption ofthe world, and feel
also, that 1t is time that the foreign view of the
| subject, namely, that the United States must
accept ten millions of dollars less for crop Of
2,4O0O 900 2,600,OCO bales than for one oftwo
millions, compelling the country, after renting
in addition thereto her valuable securities in pay
ment for Imports to liquidate the remaining bal
ances in specie, should be met on this side by a
more Judicious course in the despatch of the
CROP. which could be made to turn the balance
in our favor.
Suppose, for moment, that England occu-
pied the position new held by the United States,
in relation to the production of cotton, and that
she was aware that on our supplies from her our
people depended for employment, and, in fact
that 1t effected the very system of our govern
ment, what would be her declaration "Our
price is fixed, take it or have it as You please
We may not yet have the capital in the country
to enable us to assume this position, but we are
every year approxmating it, and sooner or later
the banks of this country will find that it is their
interest to aid in establishing and maintaining,
not high, but full and remunerating price for
cotton.
The sales reported on change were 1000 bales,
without sufficient variation to authorize any al,
teration in our variations Of yesterday, which we
heretofore continue.

the following remarks on the late development

We publish this morning the proceedings o

body has done what we predicted two months
ago the Wings of the South would do.
! They have gone farther than the other Mont
gonery convention, and have, while denying
| the right of secession, yilidicated and adopte
the right of revolution. The thing operativell
is precisely the same. The diiieretce is only il
the name.
The question now is--will he other South
ern States follow the Montgomery example
We believe they will.
The effects of this movement will be import

ing the form of their principles, the one to the
other, will have far field to give expression to
their own free sentiments.
The Northern national Wing party will, there
fore, plunge as far into Freesoilsm as will ex-
actly suit the people Of that section. The
Southern party will be governed in the same
way, and thus we may have party at the South
which will represent Southern sentiment.
Another matter has come in to complicate the
conliic' OF opinion between the North and South
and make confusion worse contounded." That
Is "intervenlion"-th kossuth doctrine We
have already shown that the Democratic party
of O.4io has adopted it. Several Of the States
either substantially or positively have also
adopted it. Under our telegraph head, it will
be seen, in addition, that one branch of the New
York Legislature has also adopted it, and that
the Governor Of Massachusetts, is hot for it,.
From these early manifestations, it is not at all
unreasonable to assume that it will become one
OF the great principles Of the next Preside entail
election. In the West the general expectation
is that kossutlI will produce profound i'm
PRECISION, and we have hardly n doubt that what
ever legislatures of those States may be in
session will immediately follow the examples
above noted. The South viii be unanimously
against it aud thus we will have new element
OF strife to swell the discord growing out of
slavery antipathes.
The politicians will try hard to put these in
surrectionary elements aside until after the Pres
dental election; but how are they going to do
ii! The people have already slipped from the
leash, and cannot be whistled back at the will of
the keeper. The action of Congress on the sub.
Ject has not had the slightest appreciate inhu
ence on public opinion; and never will have on
any subject where it runs counter to strong,
general popular passion
1t will be seen from this hasty enumeration of
what is coming that a man looking for an office
will have to keep his eyes open. Our own opinion
is that there are squalls ahead, perhaps like all
squalls, the forerunner of a pure and more whole
some atmosphere.

Mississippi.

The New Orleans Picayune, of the oath inst,
thus refers to the state of feeling in the Misss-
siPpi Legislature:
" The Mississippi legislature is in snarl
about the election of U. S. senator's The house
is extremely anxious to go into all the elections
at once. The senate, apparently, is resolved to
be in no haste, and not to elect Mt all if it can
help it, There are two vacancies, one caused
by the resignation Of Jefferson Davis, which is
now filled by the executive appointment of Jno
J. McRea, and another caused by the resignation
of H. S. Foote. That term also expires in 1853,
and there is an express law of the State direct
ing elections to be made at the regular session
OF the Legislature next preceding the expiration
of term. This is the regular session, but the
senate majority is anxious to put off the election
to another legislature. The senate has passed
n resolution to 90 into an election TO supply
Gen. Foote'S vacancy. The house refuses TO
concur, but has sent them back a resolution to
60 into all the elections at once This the
senate has not yet acted upon, but we observe
the presses of its political friends are advising
that it should not consent TO any such course "
