C)TTOX PROSPECTS. Georgef G. llcury, a well known commission m,-rehiat in M3obile, and one too favorably known for correctness in his estiniiates of pre 'ions cotton crops and prices, in a letter to the edi:or of the Cotton Planter, estimates the erop at 3,000.000 bales, and add,: - Should tilie rt-ceipts run ip to 3.000.000,the crop has been then at least 250.000 bales heavier ihan last year. I have doih:ed, takiig :all tiings into consideration, if it were really hoatvier. Last year at least 259,000 bales of o!d cotton came to hand, which depre-sed throuighout the cotton rgion, is held for other Sevars. This crop will lseihat sort of aid, Is will all come forward, I believe, :- I- do not know of any feeling in favor of holding co-ton bick in the co't:-' anywhere. "Well, with all the iavorable concurring ele ments if it is found the crop will not exceed 3,00,000, middling cotton, I think, will go to 7d. liefore the Ist 0f July in Liverpool: and if the wormins, which made a pretty respectable coi. mencement last year sholid acquit themselve-r with their usu:il taste and imp.irtiality, (and they are fully due this year, as it is the seventh since 1816.) why, prices will go to t or Od. for mid 'ings next tidl. 'Middlings which we sold thii time last year for 6jvc, we are now sellinlr at 6 1-2e.. and such were selling at the suine time in Liverpool at 1 1.4d. and were at last dates, selling at 5 7-8.1. this year-a differe-ce here of I 3-4e. higher, wlhi!e these Prices are equ.;l to 2 3-4e. higher.

I think, therefore. the prospects of the cot ton planter are extraordinirily proloi:ious; thvat cot ton mnst advance this season further, and prices will also be good another year.

And then they pauid money in certain amonunts and fraudulently got the Indians to sign receipts for mueh larger sums, and themselves divided and piocketed the dilferences.

From a Leicestershire (Eng land) Mfercury which has been transnitted to it by a friend, we perceive that one Mrs. Ciiusnot.x is pro during the same effect among the Iritish pkbs. The main point of difference between the English lady and the Irish gentleman seems to be, that the latter has had only sutch access to Australian experience as a mtn in the Tower of London would have to tie workings of that great metropolis, while the former las had years of actual insight into the matters of which sihe speaks.

Our notion is that the " old folks at hime" (meatning of course the good Anglo' Saxon stock from nlhich most of us are sprung)evince in this, as in many other things, far more sense nnd di-crimination than do their Americanized relations. Here too, by :le last papers, we find that a 31r. RICiaRDS has broached the same theme.

Thore who do not believe in :I divine :ip;>iintmient, c mot sur.-ly object to the r!,ht and power I ae,'ord to trio State. Willi regard to tile institittion of ite family, it is unnecesstry to say anythig lere. Without f.r ther eireuniloeution then, let us apply these prinei p!es to the questions before us. Should the State by an ;et of the Legi.-ature, prohibit the maniuh:e ture and sale of ardhent spiriexeept as a imedicine? I ai no advocate of the "1 Maine Law," becaue I do.not know what are its prawi.ims, never having se-en it. But for the rea-ons subjoinecl, I maintain the ailirnintive (if the quest:on propounded above. If it is n14t, it itiglit to be, an axiom in polit'c:tl economy that tho State iaq the right,tiud it becomes its duty. to suppress whatever militates against the peace and wellfare of the people. Well-in the name of ren.on, and observation and hi-tory, wha.t is and has bt tn. inore dangerous to the-peace of society. iore (es i truetive of the well being of individuals and comin munities than liquir ! llen talk about the evil. of war . but have all the wars that have desolated the earth, done more t entail misery upon the hut inan family than liquor? iTave famine and pestilunce done it ? aiil lins nit liquor itsl-f contributed largely to produnce th--se very evils. Sure'y, Furely this fell destroyer of hmna ha, p'nos, this in t er of inman Ipels, this fruitful producer of iwidoa ws and or pn, this consumer of I-ropertyi this di gracer of fanilks, this ruiner of sotils, his donme enough to earn for itself a high place in thee records of crime. If the. manufacture aiid, sale of lIquor witht all its attendat and iniseparable ills; be not -a cime, I am at a lass to designate wvhat is such ;:and if th e higher aLthioiities have iiot tlic right to sup;. ress it, pray infoern me what the~y haea.the riftht to fiorbd. nur rrwou,,urmrosinlg uipon~lie1Tirti s-or-ue peoiple to peass stich ala. Wh~y, imy dear sir-, do you not see- that such a notion of liberty as this, wvoulid imake eve-ry legal enactment on the Statute books a violation iof t:e libertiies of the people ? What is liberty 1 Is it to allow -he gratiienton of every base passioni ? Is it to permit the induilgeuce of every vile appetite ? I kiiow you too well to ente-rtain the thought thait you wotulid defmne 1:be.rty the right to exercise om's thiievishi propensites so far as to appropriate to hiim rneIf the property of another. I know you wouldl iiot call it liberty for the debainchee to exert his se. iuctive arts to the prostitution of beauty and inno eenee and virtue. You would iiot say ilmat h;birty consists in allowinig one's passionis to dr:v-e him ti the commission of murder. Anil how von c-an eatl that liberty which conidiees so stronigly to the-se aind a thoiusand oilier crimes of blackest liue, is al miost mis inconmprehenasible as the Eletishinvmste ries,.r i-the~ pusitag perfismaneecs of th?- Spirit nad Ibappi rs. If this be lib: rty-, let us give up all civil regul::tionis aiid aekncwledge no law, but the " 1mw of the desert land.'" '' But the peopele will not submiit to thme liw.'' Well, it would be a strange thing if thie peolec would not submit to a Iiw of thecir own maiking. It is not the udesin or thie work of the friends or this measure to foce it on the p-ople withiut the consenit of the majority. It woul be bothi turwise anid unftir to do so.
