AL 4 recent meeting Of the British Association for
Tie Advancement Of Science, d very important and
interesting paper on cotton, its manufacture. ETC. was

The foregoing propositions will not be disputed by
man Of intelligence and although they do not
accord sufficient amount Of ortance TO American
factories, they may be considered graceful ac-
lnoHled gement of the dependence Of the !" Mother
Country upon the snowy staple of the South
While our trans Atlantic brethren yield us the palm
so far as production is concerned, we would be eS-
seeedingly iLnatnred if we disturbed their compla-
cency in regard to their superiority in the manutac
turing line. n 9 # n Il Nj
IT is d fact that cotton is chiefly raised /" and
must continue 10 be raised by slave labor 1t is
also aact Tint tile main supply the material which
clothes the world must come from the Southern
United States II is also fact that Abolition Britain
the land Of the Sntherlands and Thompsons ct ia
olarse genus the land in honor Of which the poet
proudly proclaimed
ss n Slaves cannot breathe in England--''
has made, and does make, more money clear profits
annually from the manufacture of Southern slave
grown cotton than do the planters and owners Of the
slaves themselves And it is furthermore fact
very plainly admitted in the foregoing that
England would suffer more from n deprivation Of the
cotton crop for single year than halfadozen Rus
slams wars could possibly infict upon her.
The same remarks may be truthfnly applied to
SANITY, overrghteous and overmoral Massachusetts,
That State profits moe by slave labor than any
Southern State, just as England profits more than
any other nation! Their profits arising from the man
ufacture Of cotton constitute the feblood Of their
commercial, financial and maritime systems Yet
both while carefully pocketing the aforesaid profits,
aeelaim aganst us, piousy roll up the whites Of their
pious eyes, and erveny return thanks that they are
not as the Shareholders are The truth Of the matter
is they are just as bad Pharisees as were those re-
3buked by our common Savior.
As long as this dependence exists-as long as the
planhropists can derive advantage from slayegrown
products as long as the South remains the prin-
cipal cottonproducng section of the EARTH slavery
will exist-wil be amply able to protect itself-and
there will be no war with England.
But, to return to our text from which we have
been wandering somewhat dscursiyely. Each propo-
sition Of the foregoing synopsis was supported by
tabular compiled from the official records Of
Great Britain and the United States and the concu
sion was expressed i'll the following language
THAT hence in the present commercial relations of
The two NJ tie the eG9n q the Tinted States

The above statement Of the case is tolerably fair
one, considering the source whence it came. But it
does not cover the whole ground by long odds. Mel
Their is il correct in extremely important essential
The "cotton manufactures of the United Kingdom y
are completely dependent upon the cotton planters
of the United States for supply Of the raw mate
rial. Without those "cotton planters of the South
the cotton manufacturers Of the United Kingdom y
would encounter Immediate and immedicable ruin
with the coton planters Of the United States"
The Omitted Kingdom might sink, and they would
still have the whole earth for market and would go
on prosperously as heretofore The difference between
the two parties may be stated thus Our "cotton plan
tiers have the world fora market, while the British
cotton manufacturers are compelled to look almost
exclusively to us forsupplies Of the material where
with to keep their mills going. In other words, we
might get along without them, when, under no cir
cumstances, coula they possibly get along without
MS. Here is the whole difference in a nutshell.
4 However, VIC hope the cotton planters and cotton
manufacturers will long continue the mutually prof
table connection that has existed for years. 1t would
be bte-ofyour.nose spte-yourface business, to
break tup. Mr.. John Bull, New Orleans proffers
cordial grip to Liverpool May our business relations
ever remain unchanged.
