COTTON PLANT.
A Southern journal, published weekly, to ad-
vocate direct trade, manufactures, agriculture, and
the development Of Southern resources by G. G
BAYLOR, Washington, D. G.
| The importance Of such a journal as the above
needs no exposition. The material and substan-
tal interests Of the South have been too long ne
elected. The "CorroN PLANT" is established to
promote these interests, keeping entirely aloof
| from party or party politics. A complete foreign
and domestic correspondence has been arranged.
The best talent of the country will contribute to
our columns, which will present medium Of
general communication, correspondence, 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
direct foreign trade at the South, and I'd introduce
| our coarse manufactures into the continental Eu-
ropean market. One object Of the "CoTroN
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
criminate properly in their desire to promote South
ern enterprise.
The importance Of Washington city, as point
Of location for such JOURNAL especially in regard
to opening foreign correspondence and promoting
our foreign relations, 10 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 "CorroN PLANT" will
commence in June next. Advertisements are
particularly requested to be forwarded early.

Ecco Condolences

Some persons are disposed to find fault
with Scott because Seward is said to be
friendly to his claims-yet these same per-
sons look with favor on Pierce, although tn e
Barn Burners lend him their warm support.
Now ii Seward is any more of u Free-So |
man than old and young Van Buren,, we
should like to see the evidence. We should
ike to understand the refined principles up
on which some Wings are constructed who
have objected to Scott because he is support
ed by some Free-Soilers, but find no such
objection to Pierce who hast just as warm a
support from that party. We don't EnO,o
that We have any such Wigs here, but we
have read of two or three such men gning
amaniiesto at Washington City, which we
expect they regret as heartily by this time as
ever traitors repented unsuccessful treason.
We should think it very proper thing il al
Free Sellers would leave their party and
give their preference for Scott or Pierce
