o. last I o. a my power to very important asticle which it is y the use of cotton. n reply to a letter from the Chilton Allen, of Ken:ucky. states quantity of Russan hemp purchased annually for the use of our navy. is shout2000 tons; and that the quantity if Russian hemp used in the merebant service aunnally is about 11.000 tons, which makes the whole quantity of foreign hemps supposed to be used. about 13.000 tons lie estimates the average cost at about $300 per ton, which at that rate. will anionat to the sum of $3.000.000 00 Thus it will be seen that the large sum of 3,p900.000 is setit to Russia annually f0i: an article. the use of which may be superceded by cotton. And is it no object to the ruts grower and nanu facture: to establish an additional homs market which will bring into their pockets this sum with the cost of manufacturing the raw mate tial added to it? Nothing, I am sure, but a reckless contempt for all the admonitions ofr experience. and a disregasd of the mort inpor tant truths of political economy can induce the Southern pianterand mannufacturer to pass by a fact so vitally affecting their interesti. I am aware of the didiculties to be encoun tored at the threshold. rhey are nothing less than old habit fixed on erroneous principles, which have become so inveterate as almost to defy the reforming influence of those chaiges of relation between producer aid manufactu. rer. and manufacturcr and consumer. wlicbit their effects upon society. have wrough: nn en tire revolution.

But what has becu the result? le has push ed his etroneous principles to such an extent as to reduce the price of cotti, by over ro. dtesion, from 15 cents to one half that sum and that too at a period of ;.'-e tnst inprece. dented comnercial and financial embarrass ment. Shouki be attempt to re.::ce his steps, he is -arrested by the unpleaant redection that his expenses are not easily curtailed, and that he owes debts contracted ins more prosperous times; orat least. under the delusive and fatal idea that what has been. tmust necessarily e again: and thae by force of circuanstances, he fancies himsell'compelled to pursue the ruinous system of increasing the production. in order to Nothing can be more anptolosophical. or more at variance with all the practical lesions of com man mnse and experience. That the vwlue of a comaiiodity depends, in a gr. at measure, up on tbo reLastion subsisting between the supply and the demand. is a sell' evi~hent proposition.; and is the fuandamenital rrinciple upon nhbich rests the whmole sulperstriutre of political econosuy.

The ruthless attacks of Mr. Adams, made on every possilelo occasion. have at length induced Mr. Wise to make a state maent of his agetncy in the Graves and Cil. ley duel.
