To His Excellency Governor T. O. Moore and
" Major General u. l.. Twggs
The undersigned Cotton Factors of New Orleans Respectfully
represent that time they advised the planters from
whom they yearly received shipments cotton not to send
to this city during the continuance of the blockade In adopting
this course we make individual sacrifices in order to ac
oompsh benefit We take no credit to ourselves 70,
TINS Embarked with our fellow citizens in struggle TO main
tain dearest rights have only DISCHARGED our dptv
in our opinion the highest interests of the community exact
the first obligations ALL But regret to ssy that there
those New Orleans less mindful than ourselves of the
sy of steadst adherence the which we have adoped
guide, and receive from time 10 time
OF cotton Some of the planters too not apprecang the
Importance of retaining their home or eedlessv dis
regarding it, transmit 10 this city occasionally few bales of
cotton The certain consequence of this nudeous conduct
the Factors and Planters ei.re will be that other Planters
finding that neghbors can with impuni,y shin and sell
their cotton will follow their example, in very few weeks
large supplies will be sent to New Orleans and this co
from tue known necency Of The blockade will find It's way 10
foreign ports and furnish the manufacturing Interests of Eli
and the United States with the product of which they
in need We shall thus give aid and comfort to orr enc
mics and contribute the maintenance Of that quasi neutrality
which European nations have thought proper to vows
rsy which enables the United States 10 obtain every mimi
lion of in Shchshey deficient aud practically depryes
lis of the same sources Of supply. 5s
Under these circumstances earnestly request that you will
take immediate steps to prevent the shipping of any cotton
this city Unless this promptly done shall not be abe ia
maintain the aoicy had determined upon and which not
only received the sanction of the public opinion here but which
has been cheerfuy followed by the Planters and Factors
the other States of The Confectionery"
1t will not be difficult for You devise means to eccomnlb
the object desired and quite that the people of
Loussnawith the exception of the who in times like these
regard their personal advantages more important than
the public goodwill not only give ready aquescence to your
action, but smphacally and enthusiastically sustain it.
