as the Gotten wants of the world press heav-
lily and more heavily it must come. We
shall have cotton from India, from China,
and from Africa we would advocate every
means within reasonable limits to quicken
the development. We would not even ask
whether to introduce cotton culture upon a
large scale into Africa would be to secure
that African Gotten would not be raised by
slave labor. But even Lord Brougham
would ask US to believe that there is any
proximate hope that the free cotton raised
in Africa will, within any reasonable time,
drive out of culture the slave-grown cotton
of America. If this be so, of what use can
it be to make irritating spec ches in the house
of lords against state of things by which
we are content to profit? Lord Brougham
and Lord Grey are not men of such illogical
minds as to be incapable of understanding
that it is the demand of the English manu-
facturers which stimulates the produce of
slave-grown American cotton. They are
neither of them, we apprehend, so reckless or
so wicked as to wish to close our factories
and throw some two millions of our manu-.
featuring population out of bread. Why,
then, the inconsequent and these irritating
denunciatiOns Let US create new fields OF
produce if we can {; but, meanwhile, it is
neither just nor dignifed to buy this raw
material from the Americans, and to revile
them for producing it.

GENERAL CAss.--The Washington cor

The Presidents levee last night was a
perfect jam. On the same evening General
Cass gave a magnificent dinner, at which
were present distinguished members of the
House of Representatives and Senate. One
popularity Of General Cass' dinners is, that

Sedgar, does the honors of the table, and
General Cass dimes on crust or cracker.

sary to preserve his health at his advanced
age. General Glass; house is filled with an

English Policy in China.

The New York Evening Post gives the
following as an extract of letter, dated
Hong Kong, November 80.
England is playing deep game in China.
doubt if ever she gives up the foothold she
has acquired in Canton, besides which she
may, in the course of the next troubles, gar
rison Shanghai or other ports for the defense
of the foreign community, and stick to them
also when the fighting is over. In fact, she
seems to me to be putting in her ground.
tackle in every direction-whether for the
purpose of counteracting the influence which
Russia is known to be daily gaining in the
North, or for the mere lust of power, and
the desire of making that " morning drum
beat " still more audible as the sun rises
over China, it is hard to say.
She is proceeding here exactly as she did
in India. There she made her way, in
great measure, by assisting native Princes
against their rebellious subjects, or in the
administration of their local governments,
till she rendered herself so necessary to them
that, when trouble came, they found them
selves entirely in her power. Here she is
attempting the same thing by taking in hand
the revenues of His Celestial Majesty, by
experimenting his customs and regulating
the commerce of China in such manner
as to make the income of the Emperor lar
ger, by means of foreign trade, than it ever
was without it.
This she is doing, not openly, you must
understand, but under the cloak of native
authority, by the esta blishment of "For-
eign Inspectorates," with Englishmen in the
fat berths, and other nations wherever they
can squeeze in. In this scheme, however,
she may meet with considerable opposition
from America, as many of these new inspec-
torate regulations conflict with our treaty,
and cannot be submitted to by u.s. The
most important objection to them is, that
by imposing fines and regulating punish
ments for offences against the revenue, they
nullify the most important provision of our
treaty-that Americans in China are subject
only to American jurisdiction. They would
fine, coniscate, imprison of their own right !;
whereas aCe claim the right of having all
those cases adjudged through our Consuls.
This matter has been laid before Mr.. Ward
by the American community of Hong K ong,
under the guidance of Mr.. N. M. Reckwith;
of the house Reckwith & Co., and protest,
it is said, is about to be made also to the
Chinese, in order to stop this outrageous
Infringement of our treaty rights. What it
will all come to, time alone can show.

An Eloquent Compliment to the North.
ern Democracy.

Senator TooMBs, of Georgia, in his late
speech in the Seuate bore noble testimony to
the courage and fidelity of the Northern
Democracy. He says:
To make this appeal effectual, it is our
duty at the South, first, to crush out the
party division which exist among ourselves
to unite with all men who feel the wrongs of
their country, and who are willing to unite
for their redress who have no utilization or
sympathy with Black Republicanism in any
of its forms, and are ready to drive them
from the national councils. Let the enemies
of this organization extend to each other
cordially the right hand of fellowship, aud
Tor pure and honest purposes, bring their
past party differences and sacrifice them at
the altar of patriotism. Thus, having Sc
cured our own union and harmony, let US
appeal to the friends of the Constitution in
the non-slave holding States to initiate our
example. Let us appeal to those of that
class who are among, but not Of the public
enemies themselves. Let us invoke them
to join the army of the Constitution. Let
us call upon the American organization of
the North, as well as the South, to enlist
under its banners. Let us invoke, in spirit
OF kindness and fraternity, those Democrats
OF the North who, from discomfort upon a
collateral issue, have withdrawn from the
faithful column, and whose position gives aid
and comfort to the common enemy, to return
to their colors. l have no word of invoca-
ton to those who stand to-day in the ranks
of the Northern Democracy, but remember
and emulate their past history. From the
beginning of this sectional controversy, they
have stood firmly by the Constitution, in
sunshine and storm. No body of men, in
the worlds history, exhibited higher or no.
bier devotion to principle under such adverse
circumstances.
The enemies of the Constitution, seeing
that they were its best bulwark in the non
slave holding States, have brought against
them every engine of destruction which their
maddened malice could invent. Their very
loyalty to the Constitution is daily charged
against them as treason to their own fresides.
Amid the opprobrious epithets, the gibes
and jeers of the enemies of the Constitution
worse than this, amid words of distrust and
reproach, even from men of the South, these
great-hearted patriots have marched steadily
on in the path of duty. Amid treachery
and desertion at home, and injustice from
without; amid disaster and defeat, they have
risen superior to fortune, and stand to-day,
with their banners all tattered and soiled in
the honorable service of the whole country,
ready to renew the conflict and to snatch
victory from the very jaws of defeat. No
matter what fortune may betide US in the
future, while life lasts l have hand that
will succor and heart ready to embrace
the humblest soldier of this noble band.

The Paris correspondent Of the London
Star states positively that the Queen of
Spain has conveyed to the Pope her SYM
patty in his misfortunes, and caused to be
made to him an offer, if necessary, of mater
ial aid in protecting himself from encroach-
ments without; even promising to pledge
her jewels to raise the means, should circum-
stances require it. The letter of her Cath
olic majesty was presented to his Holiness
at private audience, by the Spanish en-
bassador, and subsequently, read in college
to the cardinals.
