Political hypocrisy is daily illustrated in
this country, on larger sceie, perhaps, than
in any other part of the world.
We remember when Mr.. CLAY was defeat
ed in 1889 and 1s4s, in the nominating Con-
ventions of his party, how the Democratic
leaders and presses turned short round, and
sympathized with the man, whom they pur-
sued so Indignantly only few dsys before.
And since his death an ocean of brine has not
suf;esd to supply the bitter tears they have
shed over bis tomb and his memory!
NJ. SEwA.D's loss of the Chicago nomina-
ton Is the most recent display Of bis mockery
and hypocrisy. A telegram from Washing
ton exposes this sham sympathy of The party,
that only few days ago, could not find
words harsh enough to express their horror
of him. Here it is:
.Mr Seward returned last night (the 29th
nit, to Washington,) and resumed his seat
in the Senate to-day. He says emphsiically
that all the pretended hopes of the DemCcra-
friends are absurd, and that whoever may be
the candidate at Baltimore, he will be de-
feated by 10000 in New York. When he re-
appeared in his seat he was cordially well
coined by his political friends. But the most
noticeable feature was the sudden and af-
fectionate interest exhibited by the Demo
cratic side. who swarmed around him. The
very men who deliberately, gratuitously and
insultingly withheld their recognition upon
his return from Europe, and who had con-
cocted programme of persecution for the
campaign in expectation of his nomination,
were foremost 10 their greeting. The motive
is we'll understood"

ENORMOUS SToCg OF PRODUCE AT LIVER
PooI.-At late meeting of the Liverpool
Nersey Docks and Harbor Board, the fact of
the enormous stock of produce in Liverpool
was alluded to. Hr. Forwood drew attention
to the insufficient warehouse accommodation
for the cotton which was at present in the
port, and which was expected TO arrive, and
ased if some measures could not be taken to
render the transit sheds of use for storage in
such an emergency. The chairman (Mr-
Turner) replied that the stock of all descrip-
tons of produce at present in the port was
enormous and unusual; in fact, beyond all
precedent. The cotton alone amounted to
a million bales. Mr.. Forxood said that the
want Of warehouse room was seriously incon-
veniencing the trade, the price charged for
warehouslng cotton being as high as Id, ID,
and I'd. per bale per week.

The Value of Cotton TO the w Orld-
Interesting Facts and Statistics.

The sum paid annually to the South for
cotton consumed in Englard-about five
seventies OF the whole American CROPS esti-
mated at $3.50 0OO. 900. The amount export
ed to England is l, $50 500, 900 lbs, which,
when converted in manufactured goods, is
valued at half the declared value of all the
erorts from England. The wages paid in
English cotton factories amount annually to
SIPS 200, 900, and those employed number Mt
least 100000 persons, young und old. 1t
is calculated, moreover, that at least 6,000,-
600 people besides are dependent upon those
employees. The capital sunk in machinery
for spinning, weaving, printing, &c. amounts
to $3.50. 600, 900. 1000, 900 tons Of shipping,
and 20, 900 men are employed in carrying the
raw material TO England. Besides, the main
tensnce of the national credit, the security
of public funds, the prosperity OF bankers,
bill discounters, money brokers, merchants,
and aninnumerable host Of mechanics and ar
Issns--iu short. the bulk of the nation-are
dependent upon it. What il the crop should
fail, or war prevent its impOrtationl How
fearful would be the consequences! lndi-
yidual and national ruin, bankruptcy, reyo-
luton, and anarchy. Nof would England
alone be the sufferer. Half the civilized
world would be involved in hopeless misery
Who can doubt that the abolition OF slavery
would be the abolitios of cotton and the abo-
lition of cotton would be the annihilation of
civilization.
When the events which, We are told, are
TO precede the last day, commerce, civiliza-
lion, law, order and morality will have
ebbed away considerably from this world
| The causes of thai tremendous revolution
must be something strong enough TO upbeaye
nations IN a manner unknown even In the
days when the Goth aud Vsndal were In

ness that will inaugurate those terrible days
which are TO come, and how soon We know
not, and II may be that abolitionism is des-
tined 10 be the Instrument by which the

The baltimore Convention.

All narties are awaiting with great deal
If interest the action of the Baltimore Con-
,ention. What will il dot At the time Oh
III. adjournment Of the Charleston Conven-
tion. We were Of the opinion that the meeting
at Baltimore would find it impossible to har-
monte the conflicting interests which caused
the troubles at the former plaee-ihat the
intervening time would give the contending
narties time TO concenirate their strength 10
form new combinations, and render solu-
ton of the difficulties more improbable. We
have seen nothing to change this opinion
The democracy of Mississippi have aPprUTed
the course of the seeding delegates from that
State, and re-appointed them with instruct
lions to attend both the Richmond and Bal
timore Conventions ; and this, We take 1t tor
granted, will be the course decided upon by
ell the other seeding States with the single
exception of South Carolina When these
delegates appear at Baltimore. 1t will he Tor
the purpose Of re-opening The controversies
begun at Charleston, and, under cIrcumstan-
ces which will so eIasperate The majority oil
the Northern delegates that they will be less
likely than ever to yield their position. The
fact is, they cannot yield with honor; and
should they do so, they would go home dis
graced, and unable to bring the democratic
masses up to the support Of a ticket which
sprang out of their degradation. The strug-
gle with them is for life they well know 1t,
and will not dare to succumb to the demands
of the secessionists. The extremists who are
seeking to push them to the wall, do not
care whether there be peace or not-they
feel that the dem ocratic party North Is dead;
or if not dead, incapable of accomplishing
ANYTHING, and think that, by making bold
stroke, they can secure the vote OF the whole
South, and attain position which will ena-
BILE them to command the election in 1864 or
decide the fate of the Union. They ale reg
