An instructive article in this number on the quet-
lion, ia Cotton our King" exposes the fallacy Of
the popular assertion that white canDot perform
field labor in the Cotton States. The writer main
tips that, even admitting that white men cannot IL
Dor in the tropics, it s erroneous conclusion that
they cannot labor in the Cotton States because the
climate of the Southern States is not tropica this is
conceded by Southern writers themselves when moi
arguing on the Slavery question; and according 70
IIumbodi's iso,bermal lines, the temperature OF
South Carolina, Georgia, and Texas is the same az
tbat Of Portugal the south of Spain, Italy, and Aus
traa. Nobody ever heard of an Australian emigrani
writing home 10 his friends not 10 come ont because
be viii not be able TO work; yet the mean annual
temperature of Australia is from five 10 SIN degrees
higher than that of Texas and according 10 tho best
accounts the extreme Of h,at is very much greater
TIE facts ID the case, moreover, show that white men
can work and do work in the cotton fields Of the
south. Even De Bow is compeled TO admit thatone-
ninih of the force cuvatng cotton i'll 1850 was com
posed Of white men. Testimony 20 The same effect

Texas aid several other States is raised without
slaves. In feet, there is nothing in the cultivation
Oi cotton involving harder work than that Of corn.
