out of three, the country runs wild
on the subject Of cotton, the last
nerve will be strained to produce all
the cotton possible to the exclusion
of all other classes Of brsiness--all
other kinds Of business relying upon
the labOr Of the freedman, must ne
cessariiy perish, from the fact that
the cotton planter can afford to pay
the highest wages. No person can
raise wheat at Sll per bushei and
pay SIS per month fuf hands, neither
can heraisc corn at 81 per bushe'
yet he cannot got any more than thi'
because -four will be brought her,
and sold at Sl2 per barrell, and II,
linois corn can be brought here AM
sold at 81 per bushcl.
BW lNlIl return to the 20ct. ia,

'I'shall be done withso large revenue
The answer is ready, the State ha
pledged her Ssith fer Si,000,0O0 o
