across continent was pu into operation on

BREAD vs.. COTTON.

The sovereignty of cotton certainly appears to
he disputed by corn at this moment in n remark
ably direct competition. England and France,
as we have been told for months, may be soreiy
tempted to intervene in our affairs by their
urgent want of cotton. 1t happens, however,
that while we have been fighting, aud harvesting
the while Il magnificent crop Of brealsiuifs, Eng
land and France have suddenly found an enoi-
nous deficiency of grain staring them in the
face. OF the two cotton can probably be spared
more easily than bread AT all events, il now
hnppens that whenever either of these Powers is
tempted to consider whether the law of natous
anu pence might not be adYanageously battered
for cotton, it has also to consider whether il
wishes to exchange dearth OF cotton alone for
a denrth of both cotton and bread.
We state the alternative in this form advised
y. America is not the only quarter whence our
European friends can supply themselves with
food, but 1t is perhaps the most important source
to which they now resort, and has vast in
ilnence upon prices upon their markets. II is
so important source that they talk of drawing
from il nearly three million bushels per week
for year. We mAy snfely say, then, that an
interruption of our exports by h0s,ities would
have the most disastrous effect for them. Ii
would Illustrate those nice calculations by which
in France the Government regulates prices so as
to steer clear of revolution, and il would eXposc
England to dangers not equally great perhaps,
but yet sufficiently appalling. And, at the same
time, the war which should interrupt our exports
of breads,uils would not insure England and
France their supply of cotton. With tho ocean
swarming with our private armed ships whether
under the name Of privnteers or sen militia il
would be vain to look for the regular supply of
cotton In no way could the shipment Of the
crap be kept up in II naval war in the which the
Uuited States sought to prevent its reaching
market. We say, therefore, that the question
for the European Powers as a war with this
country is simply whether they prefer to lack
both cotton and bread
For this year then, at any rate, 1t seems to US
that the question OF peace In settled even if no
higher considerations are to enter into European
eOunsels than those which we name. We do not
believe the European Powers to be in a position
to play the desperate game ascribed to them,
even If they are capable of it, which we are far
from willing to suppose. Providence has not
only gmiled upon us SO far us to give US the
means Of the domestic prosperity and comfort
while carrying on this struggle, but il has by the
same ngency insured us to great degree from ex-
ternal Interference frbm the only quarter whence
it was to he expected. II is for us now to see TO
it that this opportunity is vigorously improved,
and that as the pressure which now conAtrains
our powerful friends abroad is removed, so the
temptation which may urge them to recognize
the South ms an Independent Power is removed
also. Boston Duty AdVerfisfT.

The Truth Told.

"There has never been a time, from
the day Washington was inaugurated
first President of tho United States, when
the rights of the Southern States stood
'frmer under the laws of the land than
they do now; there never was time
when they had not as good cause for Dis
union as they have to-day" \
The Slavery question is mere excuse
The election of Mr.. Lincoln is mere
'pretextl The present Secession move
'ment is the result of an enormous con
'spiraoy formed by the leaders of th'
Southern Confederaey more than twelve
months ago. ."-Stphea A. Douglas.

The editor of the Gazette cdinot il seems, en-
trely conceal his southern prOcivites. While
his knees trembled and knocked together, and

of the law he was at the time outraging by his
secession sentiments, he thought it best to be-
have himself, and keep dark but now that he
supposes the danger has "all blown over, be
again attacks the government with all his won't
ed virulence, and pleads the cause of the "n-
jurCd South" If the editor could or would
only stick to the truth in what he cnuncat,s,

course, upon the presumption that he is honest
in his convictions But he talsifes the facts,

for single moment that he either means to tell
