e 70 eemeto fafnlsh .hS NECESSARY aoant OF cotton
b. what reasonable and practicable way aaI America
be brought to, again furnish our supplies?
We know Of but one precedent 70 speae thu trnth,
which, borrowed from similar situation, may be exam
med and weighed in connection with this one, and this
precedent is the Waged by England against China IN
1884, to force the latter TO accept the opium OF India IN
exchange for tea The English thought in the circum-
stance recall, that justice permitted them 10
re-estabsh, by military Intervention, traditional
commerce, the interruption Of which was highly Prelu'
dciAl 10 England and 70 Europe.
It will be admitted without hesitation, that the re-
establishment Of the commerce Of cotton with America
will present itselfin conditions much comfortable
TO principles of equity and Of general utility.
In the first place TO lack cotton that is TO say to leave
without work and without bread in France, England,
land. Germany THOUSANDS offames who live by the cot
ton industry is misfortune Of much greater magnitude
than tolive without tea
On the other hand when the Eugsh pretended to re-
establish by force the trade heyimposed in return,
on the Chinese Government an article which is in real
ity poison and in which the Government OF ChinA
saw, with reason cause Of physical and moral degra-
datou.
Every one will see that in America the question is al
together different In determining the Americans TO
with Europe the trade in cotton will carry 70
them along with the spirit of concord of fraternity and
OF peace the reesablshmen Of labor, Of agriculture
of commerce. of transactions and consequently Of pub
lie prosperity While leaving the Americans the right
and the Of resolving interior questions in way TO
suit their convenience, and without pretending in
any way impose upon them either union separation
Europe might evidently in general interest OF humanity
resolve the question Of cotton il not in definite man
ner least in way relieve suerings that have be-
come intolerabe.
In the state Of solidarity to which thanks to the spirit
Of Christianity all the nations of the earth are to-day
arrived, good sense and equity admit that one Of
them may bring about the ruin of the others When
any profound calanities happen to a country the sen
of humanity oblige all other countries to take
their part in these suferings. America is therefore
obliged in the of these principles to take account
in certain measure of the distress Of the European
WOrkmen ...
For ourselves, we do not see any other solution to
the cotton crisis then European Intervention OF which
the form and the extent remains 10 be decided, but
which, in leaving to the Americans the solution of their
National question, shall furnish the manufacturers of
Europe at least enough materials to render possible
serious revival Of labor.
We shall be surprised if in the coming legislative AS
semblies of France and England ideas similar to these
not brought forward; and, in the Of the in
erests of labor and of humanity conjure the Press
o examine this point Of view OF the questions.

to know your opinion Of this body. We interested
in these congressional gentlemen to the extent that they
for veal or woe have the interest of the army in their
Keeping In this VIC believe that all good citizens SYM
path4cfOr this army, under God they regard as their
great defence of everything dear to them.
Knowing Congress only in connection with the interest
of the army We remember that the army almost
dsorganzed before there any legislation to provide
it with the necessary men. We also know that it
neglected properly provide the sneWs of war, by fail
ing 10 strengthen the credit of the ConederAcy by
proper taxation aAd by this aud other AbsOrbents fur
nishing healthy currency. And when this neglect
made it absolutely necessary to impressmens
to support the army, this body has TO this day left the
Confederate States without the sanction of written law
for these impressmens The members Of this Congres,
seem 10 violate the interests of preservation, for
this is very intimately connected with the preservation
of the army But wonderful still, the politician
s,e, TO have forgotten his selfish ambition for his
stnenls certainly prefer that they shall be deprived Of
their property through the operation Of some just law.
Again, Mr. Editor, ask your opinion of this Con-
gress. SOLDIER

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES.

To The Editor Of the Wig:
To many Of the readers of the late Message of Pres.
dent Davis il TO be and satisfactory infor
nation that the President announces and indicates the
separate sovereignty of the States declared in the
Declaration Of Independence" established by the val
or and blood of onr revolutionary fathers, and ac-
knowedged and recognized, and treated with such
by the mother Government of England. As the source
and foundation of this acknowledged separate soye-
rcigny by England and that, too, some FIVE years be-
fore the making and adoption of the Constitution might
it not be well to insert in your paper the following
tract from the
provisional articles signed at Paris November 80
1852 By Commissioners OF his Britannia Majesty and
the commissioners of the United States"
"Art. lst His Britannia Majesty acknowledges the
- said United States, viz New Hampshire, Massachu

and for himself his heirs aud relinquishes
all claim TO the government prOprety and territorial
" rights Of the same and every part thereof"
The Constitution of the United States was adopted
September IT, 1857 and ratified by the States mostly
in 1857 aud l7ss-North Carolina in 1889, and Rhode
Island in 1890.
Now it. these dates show, the States separate
Independent sovereigntes so recognized and treated
wth by the very Government from which they had re-
VOTED, how can Mr. Lincoln claim that they owe their

FREE NEGROES.

TO The Editor of The Wig:
In the Wig of the 27th that opposition is made
by correspondent of Isle of Wight to the plan of the
Governor for removing the free negroes.
If it were practicable to carry out the Cover
nors proposition it would be barren of any good results
for the free negroes who wished TO join the Yankees

visited by them and would be useless disturb those
who are loyal.
The laws with regard to free negroes and mulattoes
have long required remodeling, and the time has now
arrived when the legislature must either fail to do
duty or perform that service Whilst the great body
Of the free negroes have remained loyal too South,

counties have betakcn themselves to the enemy, both
adults and minors and grave questions will arise when
they shall be captured what is to be done with them

subject for contingencies have and may, arise where
the law is SILENT and it is not TO be presumed that free
negroes who have been traitors should escape punish
