The Resolution of the Memphis Convention in regard
to Cotton Manufactures is couched in these words
IIlocos the southern states of this aion have

Conyt nton
Now. although the resolution leaving cotton minuac
,urers unprotected in their present state against English
mopopoly amounts practically to nothing yet II shows
that cbsngeis coming the South. The men whose
fanatic freetrade doctrines most swayed it, have in the
course Of nature been removed and younger genera

is wondering how it is that their leaders wise,

independence too in such resolutions as the following:

consideration and action Of this Convention"
Now the most direct trade is the closest that with
tbe least intermediate agency If the Southern plant
ers put up manufactures for their cotton, and do for
themselves what Manchester is doing for Them and the
persons engaged, men, women and children, consume
the food of the Southern farmers around and about the
trade is the most direct possible But if they send to
Manchester, and pay first, the transportation to an
American port then the commission there, then the
VOYAGE across the ocean, then the commission in Liver

after such an ingenious scheme for deirauding country
that its native proves is any proof against habtua

1t is not strange that the South writhes year

We trust that the One thousand Members having
Returned TO their homes may, tefore the next grand
runpus in 1854 at Baltimore, get step fur her in
political knowledge which is. that if they would have
manufactures at the South they must remember that
tie supremacy of England in manufactures arose from
her making war on and destroying, avoE eddy ss the
manufactures of every other nation. In the Of
Ireland this was done by direct statute In our

Economy as a science was little understood yet the

Of Franklin were il favor Of home manufactures In
