forward to high prices without any reference to
affairs in Europe. The market has il conse-

nesday the sales reached the large figure Of 49,
500 bales at rapidly advancing prices. Yester-
day the factors tables presenting poor assort-

the preceding day, the sales were confined to
3y000.bales but At very full prices. To-day, as
the show Of cotton continued small, and the
advlces BY the America did not reach during
business hours, the business was again on 9
small scale, not exceeding $500 bales, and maxi

purchases have been chiefly for France and the

A FACT FOR TIE SoUrH.-The Southern Sag.
NIGHT editors, says the Louisville journal, are
basely and calumniously charging that the
American party North entertains Abolition sen
timents, and yet We find that the editor of the
St Adams (Vt Messenger was expelled from
an American council for expressing the opinion
that "the American party would never sue
coed in the free States unless it took O strong
anti-slavery ground"
The Journal may rest assured that what il
asserts is no matter for wonderment, with us
We have become so accustomed to the tricks and
subterfuges of Anti American partizans that
nothing they can do would surprise anybody
s.in these parts Should they como out, sud,
denly, rabid native Americans, as their leading
candidates were, q few years since, some slight
expressions Of establishment might fall from the
lips of those who have paid but little attention
to political matters That's all. The majority
would understand that soma, dsmagogioal motive
was at the bottom.
But they have played the game too often for
u to have much effect now. The planters of the
South are getting tired of having one thousand
millions of dollars of property made the step
ping-stone of advancement to mere party wire
workers, nineteen out Of twenty of whom have
no more peouniary interest in the institution Of
slavery than the man in tho moon. They are
determined to have something more substantial,
hereafter, than mere professions of devotion
from noisy demagogues.
