THE Corroy lyrEREsr.-The N. o. Deo, of
Wednesday last, has the following in relation
to the receipt of cotton in that city:
Our shipping Intelligence informs us of the
arrival, yesterday, of 100 bales of cotton by
the steamer Mary T, which swells the stock
now on hand in this city to i0,sS6 bales. The
determined policy of the South, the InaIi-
NOUS voice of our people, is thus disregared.
1t Is a small beginning q, but still 1t is IA begin
ming, and onght to sbe treated AS such liz the
way all such violations Of public policy and
duty are treated. The parties who receive,
those who send, and those who bring cotton
to this city, are all participants in palpah.c
violation of the declared will ana obvious
policy ofour Government and tire interest and
defence of the people. II no: stopped AT once
the quantity brought will gradually Increase
and the patriotic determination and pur
pose Of our cotton factors and people will be
defeated. II there are factors who are unna-
triotic enough to receive such cottoD, it is uut
right that they should profit thorefrom, while
the great majority OF the factors are submit.
ting TO such serious sacrifices In order TO car.
~ out The policy OF our Government.
The Governor has made many seizures of
private property, such as gnnpowdar, sui
phur, arms, ships, &C., and he might, with
equal right ami wisdom, seize the cotton
which Is sent here to endanger our safety, and
forbid any further additions to the amount
