interest Whbh arises ont OF a system Of free
trade, whic, however, by a rigorous legisla-
ton. they aal interdict 10 theis neighbnrs in

politically, ind militarily, they have made up
their minds and never was there such conf

they have,pr pretend to have, in their destiny.
Listen tt.heir programme;
It is minded to buy ~ all the cotton crop
which can be brought into the market at an
sverags rica, and TO give the bonds Of the
Confederae States for the amount, these bonds
being, as we know. secured by the export
duty on elton. The Government, with this
cotton cru in its own hands, will use il as a
FORMIDABLE machine Of war, for cotton can do
ANYTHING rom the establishment Of an empire

king and luhjpct. master and servant, captain

bale OF pttan viii be permitted to enter the
Northern StsteH. Il will be made On ofsnse
pnnisha6e with tremendous penalties, among
which c06seation Of property, eDormous fines,
and eventbe penalty Of death, are enumerated
to send ptton into free States. Thus Lowell
and its kindred factories will be reduced to
ruin, it is said, and the North to direct dis
rress. Z Manchester can get cotton and
Lowell cannot, there are good tines coming
for The nil owners.
The Ianters have agreed among themselves
to hold sRe-third OF their cotton crop Tor their
own purposes and for the culture OF their
fields, sd to sell the other to their govern
ment. For each bale Of cotton, IS I hear, a
bond wi. be issued on the fair average price
Of coffin in the market, and this bond must
be taka at par as q circulating medium within
tbs limits Of the slave States. This forced
circulation will be secured BY the act OF the
legislature. The bonds viii bear interest At
eight nr cent, and they will be issnsed on the
faith and security Of the proceeds OF he duty

government viii sell the cotton f0- cash to
the fsreign buyers, and will thus raise funds
amply sufficient, they con end, for all pur-
poses.

Political economists the discussion Of the guess

On this the North formerly made at least S1O,-
600. GOO BY advances, interest and exchanges,
which 10 all came to fully five per cent. on the
whole OF the crop. Again, The tariff to raise
revenues sufficient for The mainteuanee Of the
Government Of the Southern Confederacy is
far less than that which is required By the
government OF the United States. ThA Con-
federate States propose to have a tariff which
will be about 131 per cent. on imports, which
will yield S25. 600 5000. The northern tariff is
