and domestic correspondence has been arranged.
The best talent of the country will contribute to
| our columns, which will present a medium Of
general communication, col respondence, and in
formation for the friends Of the measures we ad-
vocate. The proper steps have been taken in
Europe and America to lay the foundation of a
direct foreign trade at the South, and to introduce
our coarse manufactures into the continental Eu-
ropean market. One object Of the "CoTToN
PLANT" will be, as the organ OF direct trade, to
stimulate the South to carry out this important
measure.
We call upon the Southern merchants generally
to send us their business cards, that we may lay
them before the country, to enable the friends of
Southern commerce, manufactures, &C., to dis
criminae properly in their desire to promote South
ern enterprise.
The Importance Of Washington city, point
of location for such journal, especially in regard
to opening foreign correspondence and promoting
our foreign relations, is apparent. The opportu-
nifty Of seeing here, also, members Of Congress
from every district Of the country, present
means Of general cooperation not to be found else
where.
To the cotton, sugar. rice and tobacco planters,
we look confidently for support and to the friends
of "direct trade" throughout the South we say,
''show your faith by your works"
The regular issue of the "CoTToN PLANT" will
commence in June next. Advertisements are
particularly requested to be forwarded early
