COTTON PLANT.
A Southern JOURNAL published weekly, to ad-
vocate direct trade, manufactures agriculture, and
the development OF Southern resources by c.. G
BAYLOR, Washington, ID. c.
The Importance OF such a journal as the above
needs no exposition. The material and substan-
tial interests Of the South have been too long ne
elected. The "CorTON 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 a 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 a
direct foreign trade at the South, and to introduce
our coarse manufactures into the continental Eu-
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.
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.

Ey In the House of Delegates Yesterday. M4
Robinson of Richmond City, proposed resolu-
ton lnstructing the Committee of Finance to in
quire into the expediency of so amending the | sc
section OF chapter 36 Of the Code, as to provide
that the taxes assessed in the City of Richmond,
shall not be collected by the Sheriff of the County
of Henrico, but by officer to be elected by the
voters of the City of Richmond.
lie also offered the following resolution which
was, on his motion, laid on tho table:
Resolued, That the Committee for Courts of
justice enquire whether it is necessary or proper
to change the 9th section Of chapter 151 of the
ooae, WhichfeqHlfes that circuit court held
only for corporation, shall be attended by the
Sergeant of such corporation, who shall act as it's
officer, or to change the second section of chapter
10, Which requires process from a court to be
directed to the sheriff of county, or the sergeant
OF corporation, or to change the 9TH section of
chapter 40, unaer which the duties of n sergeant
OF corporation are like those Of a sheriff in o.
county.
Mr.. ROBINSON said, that under the Code, D.
2i7, the Sergeant has, within the corporation, the
same duties that Sheriff has in county,. Pro-
cess is'directed to the Sheriff Of county or the
Sergeant OF corporation. The existing laws To-
cognlse 10 such officer as the Sheriff of a city,
and it IS to say the least premature to provide for
his election until a law has been passed which
shall net only create office, but prescribe the
officers powers aud duties Under the clause of the
Constitution providing for the election of She
riif, the better opinion to be that there
should not be taro Sheriffs of county,
PERHAPS. in city it may he constitutional to
have both asheriff and Sergeant. But if it be,
it IS at least necessary to amend tile existing laws
and define their respective duties. Which, for
example, would be the ailor of the city? Which
IS to attend the Circuit Court If it be thought
desirable that the Circuit Court OF the city should
be attended By a Sheriff, rather tran Sergeant,
then 1t will be necessary to alter the Code pag g
625 which provides that Circuit or other Court,
heldonly fora corporation, shall be attended by the
Sergeant OF such corporation, WHO shall act as its
officer So, as to the taxes assessed in the City; if
they are not to be collected by the Sheriff of Hen
leo, then the 1st section of chapter SO of the
Code must be altered; whoever is empowered to
collect the taxes, must be required to give the pro-
per bond ard security. He should vote. at present
for striking out the provso for the election of a
Sheriff for the City of Richmond. If, under the
resolutions offered by him, such an officer be re-
ported to te proper, the law which shall
create the office and prescribe the powers ard
duties oil the officer, can provide for his election

tion OF petitions Of that character That il the
point.
mf. MARSHALL My colleague, it must be adj
ll'te9, mas come to the point a long distance off
from tne place where he thought he had first made
IT, he asks me what would do instead of ex-
aiming what Mr.. Fillmore has done. He pro
poses to catechise me instead of Mr.. Fillmore
answer my colleague briefly: do not seek to
draw my colleague into q controuersu upon anv
point The Compromise measures he stands by.
That is right. He makes no issue on the power
to suppress the slave trade in the District of Co.
umbla. That admits the propriety of Mr. Fill
more's vote on Wise's resolution and on the TWEEN
ty-frst rule; because that power was expressly de-
med In both. My colleague talks of petitions and
men'or7dtS-l speak Of resolutions. He arraigns
vote upon resolution and proposes to try the
president upon what may have been contained in
a memorial. 1t is like the old Justice who issued
search warrant for the saddle, and tried to con-
VIC. uhuef 1t upon suspicion of stealing turkey.
When the vote on memorial is produced, and we
see "hat the memorial proposes, it will be time to
reply to that new specification. As to the other
point, am surprised at It's character. cannot
presume he thinks either Mr.. Fillmore, or |, or
any one else in this Hall, believes Congress to pos
sess the power under the Constitution, to abolish
slavery IN the States. The worst abotionist who
mas appeared in Congress has not pretended to in.
vest it with such power. The power to abol.
lsh the slave trade between the States has been
denied to Congress by decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States, and suppose no states
man contends for it as a constitutional power. T
