From the Southern Press.
The next Presidency.

We have received many letters from our South
ern friends like the following from which we make
extracts. We have deferred replying to most of
them, until we could make decisive response
We prefer now to answer this letter publicly, for
we have no opinions to conceal, and send in so
dong we answer many others.
As matters now stand, after Cngress has been
in session nearly four moths, see nothing safe
or satisfactory in the plan of going into either the
Wing or Democratic Conventions of June next.
Both of these Conventions will contain deci-
ded majority from the North, and that majority
will consist of those who are in favor of the Com
promise, and those in favor of something still
for the South. 1t is true that both will de-
sire to obtain Southern votes, but the struggle be-
tween the two parties at the North will prevent
them from recognising any Southern right that
would interfere with success at the North, the
ruling section. tits in vain any longer to expect
that Northern men will sacrifice or eopardize their
position at home for the chances of Southern sup
port. The South has manifested SO much indeci-
sion and infdelity to herself and has thus caused
the political destruction of many of her North
ern friends, that few none are left in power or
influence sufficient to make stand for her rights
1t therefore now devolves upon the South to take
position herself, and to sustain it with sufficient
unity and irmness to restore her character and
cause in the North. From all we can learn, it
will be the policy of the North in the approaching
conventions, to give the South few generalities
and antiquities, and the prospect of some subor-
dinate offices to secure her votes But as lately
when the Union itself was In danger, nothing
more could be obtained as indemnity for extensive
spoliation, so now when Presidential election on
" is involved, and Northern votes are indispensa
Bile. nothing better can be expected
We hold therefore, that the party of Southern

Review of the Mobile Market.
SATURDAY MORNING Anril 10

SATURDAY MORNING, April 10, 1852.
REhARKs.-The late rise in the river having re-
moved the difficulty of shipments to the interior,
we have the pleasure of announcing a material
improvement in the trade of the past week; and
in consequence of the advanced period of the sea-
son, We may look for good deal of activity until
navigation is closed by low waters. The stock of
groceries and provisions, indeed of all kinds OF
goods, are better than usual at this time of the
year, and we can assure our country friends that
purchases may be made at fair prices and on ia
vorable terms. Less has been done in cotton than
tor some time past, owing in part to the reduced
stock, and the stiffness of holders. Prices, how
ever, have continued very uniform until Thursday
when they declined sc.the result of the late for
eign news.
CoTToE.-The receipts since the Sd inst inclu-
klve amount to 1897 bales. and the exports fol
the same period to 9, 706 bales, viz To Liver
pool 2,946, Glasgow A. 1873; Rochelle 2, 246 Bar
celona 332, Boston 2,267, Providence 1869, and
to New Orleans 90 bales--leaving stock on hand
not cleared last evening of 1O7, $50 bales against
l43, 545 bales same time last year
In consequence of the light receipts during the
week the transactions have been more limited than
for some time past, the total sales being third
less than for the previous week. On the opening
day there was the usual demand, but holders de-
handing extreme prices, the sales were to only a
moderate extent, and during the next day very
little was done, both parties seeming disposed to
hold OF, the market closing at 7g974c per ii
for middllng;. For the succeeding two days a
moderate business was done at these figures, hold
ers showing no disposition to press sales and bro.
kers manlfestlng no anxiety to buy In this con-
dltion of the market the telegraph announced on
Thursday the arrival at New York of the foreign
steamship Africa, with Liverpool dates to the
9th ult She reported decline in the market
OF an eighth of penny per fb on middling quail
ties, with sales of the week of 80, 900 bales, Of
which the trade took $4,000 and spectators 6, coo
These adyices caused decline here of Ic. the
sales of that and the following day being about
an average of previous transactions, and the mar
ket closing quietly at annexed quotations which
show reduction all round of about 4c. on our
former figures:

KossUTH IN MoBILE.-Kossuth delivered
speech TO the citizens of Mobile, in the Amphithe
atre of that city, on Saturday last. There were
number of ladies present Speaking of this address,
the Tribune says:
The address we leave to speak for itself Wheth-
er it is in entire harmony with other addresses de-
livered by the same gentleman, is more than we
can determine. The inconsistencies alleged be-
tween some of the first and the later OF his ad.
dresses, are more fancifu than real but giving the
broadest of these alleged inconsistencies full credit
for as much as they prove, the result is not mate
rial. There has been Inconsistency in the &C.
tons Of hossath-ao Inconsistency az tie principles
he has announced. These stand on basis as broad
as humanity. They are as true and as humane as
christianity itself. They the substance of the
principle of our own government and unless
man has no humanity-no religion-no sympathy
with our republican system, we do not sec how be
can avoid deep interest in the subject. not to say
a strong disposition TO embrace it.
From this abstract merit of the case, comes in
the only arbiter-namely, expediency. Is it ex-
pedient to embrace the Kossuth doctrine Is it
fit for our condition in the relation We hold
towards the rest of the world Prove the AFR
native of these questions, and argument will
cease and duty begin. Insome measure KoSsuth's
address is an answer to these questions

of the last session of Congress for that purpose in
