Tho Cotton Tax.

SO much inconvenience to the
planter, and so many practical diff
fculties have arisen in the collection
Of the cotton tax, that the PLANTERS
of New Orleans and Mobile have
memorialized the Treasury Depart
ment on the subject The memorial
sets forth that, under the law, plant
ers and cultivators cannot move a
bale Of cotton until it passes the sa-
traps Of the Internal Revenue Com
missioner. They cannot even send u
wagon-load to market, to purchase
provisions for plantation supplies,
until they go, hat in hand, and beg
some assessor or collector to weigh
their cotton and grant permit to
send it to o'market.
These assessors and collectors live
in the towns, and do not go to the
cotton plantations. The planters,
therefore, must send the cotton TO
them, and, with much delay and ex-
pense, obtain his certificate of the
payment of the tax, before he can
sell. The producer has generally ex-
hausted all his means, and has no
money to advance to the Government
before his crop is sold.
The memorialists say that the re-
strictlon imposed will soon seriously
affect the production of cotton, and
will thus act injuriously upon the en-
tire financial condition Of the country.
If the planter cannot ship his crop
to market, without being compelled
to sacrifice n large part of it to the
rigors imposed by onerous regula-
tions. he will naturally turn his atten-
ton to different system of agricul-
ture.
The remedy proposed fr the con-
sideration of the Treasury Depart
ment is, to include in one collection
district all the cotton growing re-
gions, and allow the producer or
factor to send his cotton to any ship
ping point in the district. The Go
vernment, by establishing suitable
regulations for receiving the cotton
at the point of delivery, would secure
prompt payment of the tax, with
less liability to frauds, at smaller
cost to the Government, and in n way
less expensive and annoying to the
planter and merchant.
The National hateAigence,' says that
it is probable that the remedy will be
resorted to, as it is quite within the
power of the Secretary of the Trea-
sury to adopt it.

Wednesday Morning, Sept. 26, 1855.
Natural Allies.

Will the great West submit to the
demands of Eastern rapacity in sac
r1tlclng the best interests of the
Southern people, and rendering
nearly valueless the wide domain
which, heretofore, has been one of
the most prolific sources of the
wealth of the country? Will the
people who furnish the bread of the
country submit to ruinous taxes and
tariffs, by which the Southern mar
kets, for their products, are well nigh
destroyed?
The New Orleans Picayeme takes
the ground that the West and not the
East should legislate for the South.
The issue of the late contest was de-
termined by the Western armies of
Grant and Sherman. 1t was they
and not the genuine down casters
who broke the back bone of the
Southern Confederacy. When its
last Confederate armies dissolved and
surrendered, loud cries came up from
the East, claiming the defeated States
as conquered territories. But, if
conquered, none had so much right
to claim the conquest and control the
disposition of it as the West, and yet
her people, thus far, has permitted
the East to monopolize the preten-
slons and functions of conqueror.
In treating this subject, the Plea
yune says:
'Will the West consent that these
regions shall be ruined under the
exactlons of Eastern monopoly, and
the harassments of Eastern isms?
Having stoutly won them in war, will
it weakly and foolishly abandon them
IN peace? Let us hope that West
ern craftsmanship will yet arise,
worthy to recall the memory of Ben
ton, of Clay, of Douglas, which will
protest not In vain against throwing
away the acquisitions of Western
arns-against sacrificing the most
valuable results for the West involved
IN the issue of the late war, the qua
rantees, we mean, of the means of
preserving a close and profitable
commercial association and of effect
ing prudent and advantageous
polite coalition with the States of the
lower Mississippi valley and of the
agricultural South in general. The
success of Southern secession would
have left the West exposed to the
danger of becoming q helpless victim
OF Eastern policy. Whether the de-
feat of secession will remove this
danger. is for the Western people to
determine. Most assuredly, the way
to avert it is not to assist, as so many
Western politicians are now doing,
IN imposing Eastern policy on the
helpless South"
We have great hope that the peo-
pie of the West will bestir them
selves in time, and effectually oppose
the march of the aggressive policy of
New England-a policy which would
keep the South crushed and helpless
and compel the West to pay tribute
to the princes of the loom and spin
die in Lowell. That policy is as de
trimental to Western interests as it is
ruinous to the South; but by union
of these two sections, aided by the
conservatism of the middle States, it
may yet be stricken down in it's self
ishnes and ambition.

the railroad company shall furnish

$4,000. There are over 300 of them
