FRIDAY EVENING. March II, 1854
CoTToN-1he good feeling which prevailed in
our market at the date of our last weekly report
continued on Saturday and resulted in the sale of
1850 les at better prices than had yet been paid.
Later advices by the propeller Alps and steamers
and 2Jth uit, were simultaneously received on
Saturday. and falling short of the general expecta-
tlon brought our market nearly to stand-the
sales on Monday having been confined to 900 bi's
On Tuesday the market was still unsettled and
the sales barely reached 1000 bales at decline of
4aSc. On Wednesday several large operators
entered the market apparently satisfied with the
decline, and the sales reached fully $4,000 bales
fully establishing the previous decline. Yestert
day the demand was less active. but $500 bales

been chiefly for Great Britain, France and North

What will the South Gain by the Repeal of
the Missouri Compromise?

A few days ago we published conclusive aud
whitening reply to this question in the letter of
the Hon. John NJ. Bolts. We take the following
corroborative views from the St Louis Daily In
tel!igencer:
Now let us suppose the Missouri compromise
to be repealed in the organization of the Nebraska
Territory. In what condition will the Southern
States be left7 We answer, wah no guaranty
achaterer Of any future stare States. The very
compromise which prohibits slavery north of the
Missouri compromise line does also permit slavery
south of that line. In the case of Texas it is law
full, and the nation is mutually pledged that four
additional slave States may be carved out of her
Territory, provided they ali lie South of the Mis-
souri, compromise line. But abrogdte that line
and what is the result? There is thenceforward
no line, no bargain, no compact in the matter; but
the anti-slavery sentiment at the North uncheck-
ed by compromises or the obligations of law will
permit no future slave State to come into the
Union. either in the South or West.
We shall have fierce Northern fanaticism
now happily held at bay by series of compro-
misses, passed by our noblest statesmen and en-
dorsed with nexanpled unanimity by the patri-
otlsn of all parties, turned loose upon entire
western frontier from the British line on the north
dc wn to the boundary Of Texas and westward to
the Pacific. New Mexico and all the vast scope
of country recently bought bargained for in Mr..
Gadsden's treaty with Mexico. will be found with
no guaranty whatever IN regard to slavery.
The free States have large numerical majority
in Congress, and of what avail will it be to say to
them, these territories are Southern let them be
numbered with the South" if we have already
broken over and repealed the line that would
have made them slave territories, and thrust sla-
very by law north of the line that had once and
SO long been settled the compromise line be-
tween free and slave territoryl We shall lose in
comparably more than make by permit
ting the Missouri compromise to be repealed
even if there were no unaithfuness and dishonor
in supporting with so much unanimty and fervor
the Missouri compromise, the Texas annexation,
and the compromise of 1850, whilst they promis-
ed us any advantage, and turning against and OPP
posiog them the vert moment it may seem 20 our
advantage to do so

Starting out from Memphis, it would ma

Cfossing White river, at Rock Roe. it would
command es,, the trade of the country between tbe
"a. li'e ana arkansas rivers for Thirty miles each
sioe OF IT. Passing centrally through Jefferson
county, 30 and crossing the Arkansas river at Pine
Dia1 1t would command the trade of belt of
country for fifty miles each side of it, for planters
mus lar from market, would willingly h ul their
cotton hity miles rather than wait for the late
spring rises OF the Arkansas, Ouachta and Red
rivers, and then pay the enormous cbaroes Incl
dent to the fitful navigation of these streams.
Inc region west of the Arkansas river that
would patronize this road, would embrace the
whole. or the larger portions Of the counties of
Jefferson, Pulaski. Saline, Hot Springs. Clark.
Llke' nempstead, Sewer, Lafayette, Union, Qua
chlta, Bradley and Drew
Ire census tables show that in 1850. nearly
one-haf of the population three-i ifhs ofthe slaves
and more than one-half of the cotton of the whole
State were found in this belt of counties ving ON
each side of this Memphis and Fulton road; and
all within fifty miles of it. even at the point most
distant from market.
Nearly all the emigrants that have passed
through Memphis, or points below here on their
way to Arkansas, during the past few wears have
sought lands lying within this belt; and hence it
may safely be said, that this road would command,
within few years after its completion, the sup
port of one-half of the population and wealth of
the State. Penetrating the heart of the best cot
ton region in the Union, it could unite in its con-
struction more individual wealth than any other
line in the State.
Give these counties direct Railroad to Mem
phis so that they may have choice of this or the
New Orleans market; give them DIRECT road
that will lead them, by the shortest Hne, to mar
ket at all times accessible, and free from the
blighting influence of sand-bars in summer. or ice
in winter; give them direct access to market
that is above the epidemic region, and rapidly
connecting itself by Railroad with every import
ant point in our Union, and it is all they require
for the complete development of their vast re-
sources.
The great struggle with the Atlantic cities now
is, who shall monopolize the growing trade of the
vast and fertile valley of the Mississippi river
This road from Memphis TO Fulton, Uia Pine Bluff,
will somewhat tend to solve the problem for it is
but link in the great chain of Railroads that will
soon connect Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, with northeastern Texas By the short
