A Southern journal, published eekly, to ad-
vocae direct trade, manufactures, agriculture, and

our columns, which will present medium of
general communication, correspondence, and in
formation for the friends Of the measures we adj
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
ropean market One object of the "CorroN
PLANT" will be, as the organ of direct trade, to
stimulate the South to carry out this important
measure. r .tl,t.-s. ~ trff
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
crimnate properly in their desire to promote South
ern enterprise. e
The Importance of Washington city, as 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,
s'show your faith by your works"
The regular issue of the "CoTToN PLANT" will
