~ A resolution has been introduced in
the Senate, asking the Hon. John Bell to re-.
Sign his seat in the conservative branch of the
United States Congress. Having, in viola
ton of usage and OF the previously express.
ed opinions and sentiments of the democratic
party, elected d successor to Mr. Bell two
years in advance Of the expiration of his
term, the Locofoco lenders in the Legislature
now have the -ffrontery-we may saw, the
unparalleled and objectionable impudence-
to ask the distinguished Statesman to resign
his seat in that body, where he has so long
and faithfully served his country. And this
move is put on foot under the miserable plea
that Mr. Bell opposed the passage of the
nsas-Nebraska Bill, and that Tennessee
has since thrice voted to sustain that mea.
sure-so fruitful Of agitation and trouble
and therefore he ought to resign. The Kan
sas-Nebraska bill was gigantic swindle-
the most stupendous cheat that political knn.
very ever concocted to play off on confd-
ing people. Mr.. Bell early foresaw whit
would be the effect and the ultimate results of
the measure, II adopted, and pointed them
out, as events have since demonstrated, with
. certainty and truthfulness little short of
inspiration. He had the sagacity to foresee
ard the firmness and eloquence to portray
the evils and outrages that would flow from
the iniqutous measure; and for this the Lo.
cofoco leaders have hunted him, and continue
to hunt him, with all tho recklessness of DO
litical deprnvity and the fsrocity of knavery
detected and exposed.
We repudiate the position assumed by the
pfeamabs and resolutions now before the
Legislature, that Tennessee has thrice-or
even onee-endorsrd the fraud practiced up
on the South under cover of the Kansas
Nebraska bill. and the charge is IN imputa-
ton upon the honesty and fidelity of the peo-
pie OF the State TO the interests and institu-
tions Of their section. We trust Col. Bell
vii! give no heed to this last miserable ef.
fort OF Locofocoisn,, and that he will retain
his seat in the Senate until the term for
which he was elected shall have expired
The country enn lily afford, at time like the
present, to spare from that body such abilities
as he possesses.

city Of New Orleans. IN discussing iis prac-
ticab;Iity, il acts forth facts and arguments
Of general interests in regard to Southern
Manufactures. II says that, sin l84O, the
value Of Cotton Manufactures in the five
Southern States, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, WINS
Sl,575,Sl0. In 1850, the value Of such
manufactures had increased to a5,5s3,332 -
The grrntest absolute increase was in Geor-
gia. The value of her manufactured cotton,
in !s40, was 1904, 302; while in 1850, it wns
$2l34,044. The greatest relative increase,
however, WINS in Alabama. In 1870. her I 'ot-
ton Manufactures amounted in value only to
the insignificant sum of Si7,547; while in
1850, they had increased 1885,, 23O, or nearly
seventeen times what they were in the first
named year! Alabama is pre-eminently a
cotton growing State. H.r climate and soil
are admirably udnpied to the cultivation Of
the greatest staple. and Yeti is found TINT
her Cotton Manufactures increase in value,
in ten years, seventeen hundred per cent
