ADVANCES ON CoTToN.-Amongth the subjects which
gave rise to animated discussion in the Southern Com
merclal Convention at New Orleans Wednesday,
was the practice of making advances TO planters in
anticipation of their crop. resolution offered
BY Dr. McGnsey, of Louisiana declaring the practice
entirely at variance with every thing like safety in
business transactions, and tending directly to estab
llsh the relation of master and slave between the
chant and planter, by bringing the latter into the
most abject and servile bondage. The resolutions
commend 10 the Legislatures of the Southern and
South Western States TO pass laws making it peni
lenary offence for the planters 10 ask or the mer-
chants to make such pecuniary advances.
A resolution also offered recommending that
the planters of the Southern and Southwestern
States paronze exclusively our home merchants, and
that our Chambers of Commerce and merchants, gen
orally exert all their influence to exclude foreign
gents and factors from their respective bodies and
from the purchase and sale of produce in any of ou1
Southern and South Western cities.
The resolutions were opposed vehemently by Gen
Hunter and Others, who argued that the less the
mercial world was governed the better. They were
finally referred 10 the General Committee

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

We shall not indulge in any extravagant
rhapsodes over the day we celebrate. 1t is
enough to know tlat it is honored throughout
the and-it is enough to know that wherever
the stars and stripes float there the memory of
tie dead is cherished and there ascend hozan-
mas to the living God-it is enough 10 know
that that liberty achieved by the blood Of our
forefathers has been pre- .erved-it is enough to
know that from handful of brave men we
have grown into great Nation, extending our
influence to the remotest portions OF the world
it is enough to know that we are prosperous and
happy, and that while other nations are revel-
ing in blood and carnage, our own happy land
basks In the sun-ligh OF pcace-it is enough to
know that Notwithstanding the bubbiing Of the
political cauldron, yet our glorious Union has
been preserved, and we present to the world
to-day, now as ever, one undivided phalanx Of
Freemen, loving Freedom and dying rather than
yielding tit is enough TO know that as the
long train Of enigrants takes its way across
the broad prairies. there 60 with it strong
arms and brave hearts, hearts beating only for
their country's good-it is enough to know and
to realize the truth that all over this vast cont-
nent pulsates the blood of freemen, worthy scions
of worthy stock-ircemen whose voices are
raised for the emancipation OF the down-trodden
of Europe whose arms would strike
in the defence Of Right-rcemcn, who rather
than see one star dimmcd or one stripe erased
from that flag which is mathematical Of our
Liberty, would yield their all-aye, even their
very existence. Let then the cannon boom
let the drum and fife send forth their notes of
gladness-let stirring words flow from lips of
eloquent orators-it is fit that 1t should be so,
for ii is day in commcmoraton Of which near
lythirty millions Of people awake glad response
and that response is echoed back from the blue
vault Of Heaven, and borne on the wind to the
uttermost parts of the world.
