The editor of the Economist remarks:


This table of British consumption of course includes
cotton from all sources, but the quantity consumed in
both countries in 1S45 was equal 10 30 per of the
United States crop. In 1854, year of general depres
sion and very high prices for food, the two countries
consumed equal al cent OF the United States crop
In le53 which the large crop year. The two cour-
tries used 90 per cent. of The crop. The figures for
United States consumption embrace only The quanti-
lies taken from the ports. The general result is that
under very nniavorable circumstances and famine,
the consumption OF The TWO countries is oveTtaking
The productions Notwithstanding that that production is
stimulated by continued high prices for The mate

sion in the rade after more than year of high prices

The sentiments expressed by the editor
Of The Baltimore American in the subjoined
paragraphs, would, he presumed to give
uuersnce to ,hem'in Kansas, bring him IN
der the supervision OF the mob legislators OF
tina, unfortunate Territory. and he would
doub, less be SC, aficat on the waters Of the
Missouri, A few persons in this region OF
country, Who eneeavor TO persuade them
selves that the outrages in Kansas are OF
no very great Importance, and who arc dis
posed to regard with dislike and suspicion
any thing which may be said on the subject
by papers OF Free States, cannot but have
their attention arrested by these remarks o.
pro-slavery bu, independent Journal. we
especially commend to their consideration
what the American says
"When the affairs OF Kansas were (orcibly
interfsrred with by intruders from Missouri
we couh not, in the face of the evidence
establishing the fact, deny its existence, or
even ius,ify il, because it had been provoked
hy an almost as criminal interference upon
The rar. Of the abolition emigrant aid COM
NAMES OF the East. We then expressed
The opinion that the acts OF the Missourians
would be prsndicial to the South, placing
i, in a false position, and making it the
yielstor of laws which it was specially in
,erested in UNFOLDING for its own protection.
The course ,ursued by the Kansas Legs-
lsiure is already confirming what we then
predicted. Its ultra radicalsm upon all
subjects that call into exercise its legislative
functions, and the violence with which It
proscribes opinions rot sqasring with the
IDEAS of its leaders. have already made VI
DISGRACE to the country, and thrown upon
the cause which il pretends to uphold an
onerous degree of responsibility. An in
stance of this is seen in bill on the sub
iec, OF slavery now before it, ana which had
passed through the preliminary stages OF
consideration without opposition. The 18th
section o. the bill provides:
III any free person, BY speaking or wri-
ting, assert or maintain that persons hare not
IA. rieh to hold slares in the Territory. or
shall introduce into Kansas. print, publish.
write, circulate, or cause to be introduced
into the Territory, written, printed, pub
llshed or eirculaied in this Territory, any
book, paper, magazine. pamphlet, or cir.
cular containing any denial Of the rights Of
persons 10 hold slaves in this Territory.
such person shall be deemed guilty offelony,
and punished hy imprisonment ST hard labor
for term no, less than two wears"
Laws OF this complexion, which undertake
to punish as a penal offence differences OF
opinion, cen have but one effect, and that
is to provoke opposition, TO keep alive ex-
citement, and ultimately to secure their
own repeal hy the very strength of the OBJ
ieciions which they put in the mouth of
their opponents.
Daily Davenport gazette. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1854-1855, 1855-09-04
Two Paragrr phs.

We publish together the subjoined two
paragraphs for the purpose of showing that
nothing which we have said in relation to
the Kansas outrages exceeds in harshness
Of expression or unqualifedness Of condem-
nation, what is said by journals published
in slaye-holding States, and favoring the
Constitution" as il exists therein. The first
paragraph from. the ST. Louis Ints3t9sncsr,
is part of an article which We have already
published in full, but We reinsert it for the
purpose mentioned.
The result is, Kansas, the iairest land
under the sun, is neglected and idle; oc-
eupied BY few honest and earnest, but
dishe ar,ened pioneers, and lorded over by a
dozen or ~ feudal fyrants of Missouri,
who curse By their presence the land they
have desolated."
In re lation to the bill which the set of
men calling themselves a Legislature, have
passed, for electipg all Territorial officers,
the 81, Louis Democrat says
1--WE are free to say that more infamous
invasion of the rights Of any people, more
unwarsn;ed assumption of power not DEL
egsted, was never perpetrated by any as
sembly that ever sat in even revolutionary
France. Not content with legislating
themselves into office in violation of the
organic law Of the Territory not satisfied
with denying TO the inhabitants and citizens
the constitutional rights OF free speech and
a free press-but beyond and above all this,
they now quietly inform the people that
they, the Legislature, will now undertake
10 appoint of their own free will and accord
the sherifs, constables, attorneys, tax asses
sors and all local officers, not for the COM
ing yenr or until an election can be held by
the citizens, bu, for six years from the pres.
ent time -
