still be hundreds Thousands Of acres TO for cotton
and cotton Is product which il may suit the convenience
Of the eo0red people extremely well 70 give ther attention
TO when they increase in numbers This proved oy the
Of whatever experiments have been made IN Anca
and experiments have been tried there Of very important
kind As long il was merely sugg sstiOn OF tns M$
siOnaries in their esgerDess % divert the natives RON
slave trading and 70 furnish them with resources Tpich
might raise their condition, men Of business might De
excused from attending seriously TO proposals 81 cton

heads and say that VAT deal depends on the gnnag
packing &c, Of cotton, the soil and the plants were
ever so good But Manchester itself nor avows that
great ults may be anticipated from the humble ei ITS
Of the missionaries and their friends Inc quality OF tns

uresepce Of those yglant and ubiquitous OF con
nerce the Americans in the central paris Of Africa solicit
ing the cotton growth If they had none a. home They
ere present all commercial births and they have IN IN
stiDct which leads them 70 the right spot 10 th- mex oi ume
and their alghtng the center Of Africa stimulating s
production shows that the season Tor th- p1f

of our Chief manufacture There many Inducements -
anindepeBdence, which We havenOt yet contemplated "h
sufficient seriousness Ii is not for dignity, II Is not Tor
our safety is not for moral welfare to BIZ absolutely
dependent On any one country in any one respect Tor
