Buckeye was again the Victor!
And so also at nearly all the field trials and
EXHIBITIONS in 1853, 80 and go, when II was
a competitor. AT a number of exhibitions it
received the First Premium as Mower, FIRST
Premium as Reaper and FIRST Premium as

INC Kingdom OF Cotton.

F.. g. Squier, whose knowledge of Central America is
minute and accurate has written letter to Senator An
hony of Rhode Island in regard to the capacity Of Cen
tra America 10 compete with the Gulf States in supply
ing the world with cotton. The conclusions TO which he
arrives are these;
That Central America is better adapted for the pro-
ducon Of cotton Of equal if not superior quality, in
larger quantities and at less cost of labor and capital,
ha any portion of the Southern States of this Union.
2 That by the introduction of foreign enterprise and
capit under such protection ami guarantees the Uni
ted states aud Great Britain could give, through
of treaties with the Central American States the cult
Walton Of cotton with the existing local supplies OF la
Dor could be stimulated TO the extent of filling a very
large part OF the demand for that staple present pros
peCtye.
g. That the country IS emnenty adapted for the in
PRODUCTION of exotic labor and that under such induce
meut as England and the United States could easily
cure from the local governments, emigration would be
attracted thther extent adequate TO remedy any
deficiency in the supply Of cotton, resulting from lack
OF local labor.
IL follows therefore that in the event Of the absolute
and permanent secession OF the Southern States and OF
any attempt their part TO discriminate unavorably
against the North in the matter OF cotton supply-n
such case it will be the obvious policy Of the United
States TO lend the whole weight Of It's influence the
enterprise industry, wealth. and above ALL the genius
Of It's sons the opening Of Of supply for
this staple and al the time extending its markets
and augmeutiug lis commerce.
Mr. Squier concludes bis interesting letter (which is
published 10 full in the Providence .I0HnaO with these
remarks
Cotton therefore, is not King OF if King now he is a
monarch who holds bis scep,re by transient and
certain tenure The superior power that installed him,
