Gen Winfield Scott. - This iDdvidualtspoke free
ly Of the condition Of the country, which he pro-
fessed to regret, LIE said, howeyer, that "he had
always recognized his alleg lance as due to the Uni
ted States of America; that his. course was nearly
ended, but that while he lived, he should always
fight for the stars and, stripes. He went on TO
speak his having been F.lately insulted by Rich
mond friend, who began to read come proposition
to him, which be would not permit him 10 6uish."
This was understood to be aproposition to resign
his commission as gComnander-in Chief Of the
United States Army, andsto accept the leadership
of the Virginia forces. - General Scott declared
that while "he did not profess TO speak the policy
of the Governments, he believed that they would
,narch nm army of invasion into any Of the Sc
ceded States, but that they would take Forts
Moultrie and Sumter and Harper's Ferry at every
cost. They woeld also keep open the line Of

SPEcuLAFING IN PRovIsIoSs.--Neariya all
articles of provisions have recently taken sudden
rise in price. owing. we presume 10 the fact of
threatened if not yet actual blockade Of our ports
The rise in price is all wrong-and something
should be done to Int stop to it. A similar
attempt to raise the price of provisions was made
in Baltimore last week. The authorities notified
the dealers that i. wGpld not be allowed and the
merchants Immediately agreed that provisions
should be bought and sold at a fair price There
is no necessity for food to 90 up here-there is
plenty in the country and our opinion H. that they

usual rates Everybody is entitled to fair profit,
but selfpreservation requires that undue ad-
vantage should be allowed 10 be TAKEN .-,ta..
We commend this matter to the consideration

workmep, and insists that tho nation shall be
freed from its pitiable dependence on us. The
London Daily Ke,rs says
We must lose no time in promoting the growth OF
cotton wherever It will grow. The obvious method Is
TO strengthen The hands Of the Cotton Supply Assoea-
ton and Of every society which can satisfy us OF s
ability to grow what we want, within our own indie
tendencies or else here. The case IS III our own
hands Australia India could give us all we want;
but not without some pains on our own part; we
must take what we can get from America while pre-
pairing our own crops; but we must be ready to dis'
repsc with any amount Of American cotton which can,
not be got TO grow in atmosphere of political and
sOCial revolution.
Tie Saturday Rtrinc says that
"Wilh opportuni,;es at least equal to our dangers
with TIE Whole tropical world open TO our Influence,
and the most popuous Of tropical countries under onr
eccper- wifi be national suicide if we 40 not strain
every nerve to emandpae Ourselves from moral serVi-
tude to community Of slave-owners."
The French Press has also taken the alarm,
and calls upon The nation TO emancipate ITSELF
from dependence on American cotton. In In
gland, mo cotton is ANONYMOUS with revolution,
lust ps ono bread" is equally portcntOus in
France.
Can Europe do az she Desires to In the end
sho undoubtedly will. The astounding deluson
has obtained currency that this country only
could supply the world with cotton. Hay haiiht
have presumed as much Of her coffee. Bat 'he
rallacy is now exploded. The world has walked
from its inlatuat0n. The earth has millions Of acres
Of cotton land superior to ouIp, crowded with IDLE
laboIcrs waiting for some one to employ them
Europe is now determined to ret them to work
In Central America cotton everywhere abounds.
China produces ak times as much as AL our
Slave States, and could readily produce more.
France and England knew this when they Were
marching on Pckin for treaty which would
open free cgress to this vast emporium OF cotton.
The nations have long been bent on achieving IN
dependence of American Slavery. Its nabops
will find in a few years that in grasping al
the shadow they have lost the substance. Europe
will not be fooled in this tremendous effort, but
will throw into the contest her utmod blood and
treasure. Ii rebellion at home does not utttply
destroy the Cotton States, twenty years more 81
Europeaa perseverance unquestionably will.

OUR UNHTRD STATES SENATOR.

The caucus of the Republican members OF the
Legislature, held at Albany On Saturday even
ing, nominated the Hon. Ira Harris of that city
to succeed Gov Seward in the Senate OF The
United States. Judge Harris was nominated on
the tenth ballot. His chief competitors were Mr..
William NJ. Eyarts and Mr.. Horace Greeley.
The election takes place tomorrow. As the Re-
publicans have q majority in both branches,
Judge Harris viii Of course be elected. lie is .
man Of marked ability, took leading part III
the Constitutional Convention of 1916, is disln-
guished as a lawyer, and from July, 1917. to
January, 1860, occupied a seat upon the bench
of the Supreme Court of the iSth Circuit. For
a man who hos been so long engaged in judicial
labors, he is remarkably well yerscd in political
affairs. lie is thorough Republican, has many
warm friends throughout tie State, and his e!ec'
ton TO this important post will be gratifying to
he great body of the party. lie is man oil
graceful presence, is ready and easy speaker,
and will no doubt take leading part in the de-
lberatons of the Senate. Upon the vital issues
which now divide the country we do not qle'-
ton that his course will fully justify the conf
dence reposed in him by his great constituency.
He was Wing of rather radical tendencies, IN
admirer of John Quincy Adams; ond though his
judicial functions long withheld him from the po-
Htical arena, he is firm and uncompromising
friend of the principles which triumPhed in The
recent Presidential contest.

Last, declares bis readiness to renOunce Republi.
can principles for the sake of the Union. In this
readiness the Senator differs totally from the al
most Incompatible majority Of the Republican
party, and from the President elect. They regard
these principles rs sacred. They will not for
swear them at the bidding Of world of seeding
and reasonable shareholders. They see no necessity
to choose between them; but if such choice
must be made, they prefer their principles to
fifty Unions.
