 |The Cotton Supply Association met on the H inst, to hear an address from MT. Camp. \ her Majesty's Consul at Lagos.
 Flhe chairman, s. Cheetham, esq. NJ. p hmenced the proceedings by expressino |, be that the foreign office would effectuallv Bport the efforts now being made bv the as- Fat1on. But how can he expect government Estance to an association so limited in ifs FmberS and with such slender means at it's Eosal. If the only hope they have of car lng thelr object to successful issue is from Fernment aid, it hangs upon very slender lead, for It Is very requisite that ministers pud be extremely cautious how they estab- commercial precedents. The League cer- ply accomplished great feat, in forcing the of the day into a repeal of tbe ID laws; but 1t was only from their numerical ength and immense funds tbat they were abed to do so. And we really consider that association, under their present circum- nces, are far too premature in trusting to na- nal assistance. The greatest difficulty they Ve to contend against is their own weakness. until they have materially increased their nbers and augmented their funds, they are Tn position to carry out even the sugges- ls of MT. Campbell as regards Soudan. but the resources of the association are not Y weak Tn the support of those most deeply crested, but their sources of supply, as stated 'netr chairman, are actually narrowed into D solitary countries, namely, India and Africa. Aough land suitable for the cultivation of ton Is to be found in almost every corner of known world. And as to India and Africa, on which now rest the only hopes of the as- Aatlon for supply of cotton, what are their oSpects Tn these countries? Have they no eu!atIon to lay before the public, as to how lg Il VIII be before they can raise l 100000 les Tn Africa, or increase the imports from aa by that sum? Do they expect it in ten enty, or thirty years, with the limited amount tner subscriptions? If they have no such pes as these what will their present exer- & avail, for the consumption of cotton in feat Britain alone increased 620,O0O in 1856 CT lo46, or ten years, while the rest of the 'rld had advanced in like proportion? And m whence, then, is to come a supnlv sniff nt to feed the annual increase of cotton ma iaery in Europe? These are points which lure explaining.

Campbell in his address said "he wished draw attention to the Soudan country. of nch he had every hope, and thought there $ every prospect of large supply of cotton mg In tune obtained" But in these few 'fds are comprised two most important vet loglous terms-"a large supply,n and "in Ae" Now here Is cloaked in the darkest certainty the two great points which the ae require to have full and early information quantity of cotton can be raised Africa, and in what time That cotton is 'Sn there we are all aware, but when are we expect 500,000 or 100000 bales. if has be carried on peoples heads or ou the backs ponies from the interior.
 u Is certainly very praiseworthy of MT. mpbell to exert himself so much for the 'd ot the cotton trade, and it would be well re they heartily to respond by furnishing means requisite for carrying out his sug 'Uons, especially when it is so much to their n advantage. Mr. Campbell states as en- llragement, that the exports from Lagos in DO were only 34,491 lbs of cotton which in }, had increased to IA ,844 lbs. of cotton. or 'f ?, bales. How does this stand, as compare d .a a the Increased requirements of the coun- lie further says "that the African maid rent for his land, his capital was invested in hesuc Staoes for labor, and no middleman l, needed; his cotton crop to him would be 'He gam" Surely these are suffi icient in- 'ements to cause millowners to bestir them yes. Are such chances as these to be lost 'aho without cost, and controllable labor. tue very essence of cotton labor, "Ase ido- sAc ,0c stdceF" Why, who knows but that with ltte labor Africa may become a second nenca! But we here ask, is it indeed true a' m Africa they employ domestic slaves?v ], ', II so, by encouraging the employment of oh labor. even in the production of cotton. are opening up additional competition against own West Indian colonies. If we can con- 'entlously encourage "domestic slavery" in flca, surely we cannot refuse to allow our 'a colonists in the west the privilege of en- gng free colored labor from Africa. to work GIT estates in the West Indies.
 However, the emergency is so great that it pears we cannot afford to take too philan- foplc view of the subject. They would per- sdc us that they have very much ameliora- the condition of the slaue by domesticating n (domestic slaves,) and therefore would 'd us into the belief that they have adopted ne improved system of free labor, and that term slave merely refers to color. And 70 such belief we might have been allured a It not been that the Manchester Examiner d Times of the 7th had letter from Mir. iVles giving description of his journey loush western Africa, wherein he states that
