references to proposed improvement Of the nayiga-
ton IL lie Indus river the chairman, MI, J. A. Tur
ner w P.s ii sos very appropriate and sensible OBJ
servations on the great difference between " talk
and acton ID giving effect to any real, permanent
vDrhsof improvement hits off his associates in the
| cotton manic movements as follows:
ia WIS sorry to say many Of them in Manchester
had been preaching Che doctrine Of short supply Of
cotton, far mSny years, almost making themselves
tiresome ~ their agitation; but the spinners ap
peafed 10 be satisfied that as long as their accounts
with their bankers were right they could 70 to Liver
pool and get any amount of cotton they wanted to
carry on their mills. that they had come to the con.
ClusiOnto 20 on as usual and remain toerably well
satis6sd. But the difficulty he had predicted was
now coming upon them ana einef .n e. mus must
rial as would bring bag OF cotton to the value of
bag of silk. Even with this staring them in the face
though the executive of the Cotton Supply Assoca-
ton had expended vast amount Of labor, there was
still unaccountable spirit Of apathy, and they had
unsupported the Cotton Supply Association as they
ought TO have done. He really felt most heartily
ashamed Of the order to which he belonged.
Our respected friend, Mr.. john Bull, who is take
him all in all, glorious old fellow in his way, must
take some steps backward before he can even hope
to extricate himself from the cotton dilemma in
which he is now placed and where he is likely to re
main for q long time to- come. He may, and nm
doubtedy will, quell the insurrection in India and
rs-estabsh his power on frmer foundation than it
was before. He may whip the Chinese, thrash the
Persians stop Russia in her career Of territorial ag
grandzement, and do and accomplish numerous other
objects Of vast moment, hut he viii be dependent
upon Southern slave grown cotton to keep his mills
agoing and he is ruined beyond redemption unless
be keeps his mills agoing until be relinqnishes his
absurd theories respecting the negro race, acknow-
lodges that emancipation is humbug, at war with
nature and natures COP, and concludes to elevate
the free negroes Of his West Indian possessions to
the condition Of bondage which, in ct Of mawksh
and miserable philanthropy, he deprived them more
-thansa quarter Of century ago. In no other mode
nor 1Gnner can Mi. Bull help himself relieve him
self from utter dependence upon slave grown cotton,
Or make himself commercially independent. His
IN Cotton Supply Associations are farces, and will
not bring single bale Of Understandable material to
hslvharves Of Liverpool. We are glad be is begin
ming to find the truth at last as the foregoing para
graph appears to intimate. Despite his pride, obst
nacy and hardheadedness, the old fellow possesses
common sense enough for any emergency; and assoon
as be finds the course be has been pursuing for many
years IL fruitful only in evil we are persuaded be will
use the first convenient opportunity to sail on differ
emit governmental tack.
