We ire not surprised the English public is becon-
ing deeply sensible" Of the dependence upon the
South under which the manufacturers and govern
ment Of that country labor neither are we astonished
that new sources Of supply are being eagerly sought
for II y but natural that the people Of mighty
country like ENGLAND should seek to render themselves
Of their greatest in fact their only COM
ercia rival and We have not the slightest objection
To interpose against their endeavoring to do 50.
But their manner Of attaining their end is anenas
bic to criticism, If not to ridicule. Having, in

can the colonial dominions and other dependencies
Of Great Britain be made to answer the purposes Of
the adopters Of the Liverpool resolutions
With slavery in her tropical colonies, England can
render herself partially independent of the South,
Without slavery the dependence ofEngland upon the
South for that indispensable article cotton-will
continue to increase instead of diminishing, as the
years and go. This is fact that is irrefntabe.

When England is prepared to abandon her mis-
guided and mercenary philanthropy and practice
common sense, she may succeed in raising cotton but
not before. NJ
