If the agents of foreign houses are willing to give it high- ] cr rate of advance than the Banks, let them i * take with the Cotton, the risk of such adven tares. Alt that we wish is, to place a por. tion at least of the Cotton crop beyond the reach of coeicive sales, under the death , . warrant of a 60 day bill, that has run to maturity. Wo wish, moreover, to place at ^ least a portion of the crop, beyond the blighting itrikieiicu of ;'>oia thaoriuft of fiuance, J which, although they may have cmaanted from the highly respectable parlor at the Bank of England, are not to be found in the philosophy of Smith or Ricardo, which have struck, in the last summer, a blighting influence, not only on the American trade, but have prostrated one of the greatest branches of the gigantic industry of the British Empire; under the fain and absurd hop;: of stopping during an obviously unfa- , voruble state of trade and a deficient harvest, that stream of gold which was as cer. tain to flaw out of England as the father of oar wfetfftn whtcrs is to roll his current to the ofeean. These wise men, in ih?-ir generation, have indeed done their wor*?-they have prostrated American interests, and all the interests in their own country connected with our own, but th4 fatal tide still flows on. And if our Banks Jesirc that a portion of this stream shall be lavished on our own shores, let them turn to our great staple, which, under a judicious course of trade, wiil command the precious meiois from every quarter of the Ulobc.
