Senator Hammond on Direct Trade*
Tho Macon (Georgia) States Press nub'
liahes tho following letter, addressed by
Senator Hammond to Howell Cobb, of Hoaston^in
response to nn invitation to attend !i
tho next Cotton Planter's Convention, at:
Maoon ;
Run Ci.irTK, March 29.?Dear Sir: I
uiu obliged to you for your invitation to at" j <
tend your meeting at Macon, and if ray i
Iwifttn and engagements will permit, I will j
attend but qot to raako a speech j tlmt :s !
out of my lino. |
1 ontiroly sympathize with your move- |
mcnt. I regard direct trade 119 absolutely
heocRSary to the Independence of the f?outh; '
without it, she will ever be provjueU*!,
though she may.continue to furnish, as sho
now does, more oftho material of commerce,
thau any other pormlation.of the same numbers
ever did; and materials that constitute
the most vital current* of commercial circulation,
controlling, ; 1 fact, almost the
whole.
Our drawbacks have been, not the supe.
rior onercry or intellect of any other people.

want of meroantilc capital. Time, I think,
will show tlmt vessels of 1,000 tons arc an
profitable as larger ones, to carry on trade,
and these can enter our ports. The yellow
fever can bo wholly evaded by oonfiniifg i
our business season to the eight months of!
the year during which we ar> exempt.-?j
These eight months being theso in which |
we can, and in fact do carry nearly nil our j
products to inarkot, they are naturally our :
business months, and those best adopted to !
kltilill/tdu Mli/l /tliitintn An Att.-a
It is bocaitflo we submit to the convo- j
uienoe of others, that \vc allow .t to be necessary
that there should be any transactions
from the interior,* or from abroad, du|
ring the four possible, yellow fever months.
| 'L'ho gia;id difficulty is as to capital ; our
menus ore, t'ov most part, in fact almost entirely,
employed in settling fresh lands,
subduiug tho forests, and furnishing the
forests, nikI furnishing tho materials to
clothe and feed the world j in theso we
find full employment for nil our means and
all our onergy. But this will not always
ho so, nfid if the owners of tho comparatively
idlo millions, in other parts, do not !
sock tho rich harvest tliey may reap hero, (
our own surplusage will euabie us to oecu
py that field also.
Nothing, I think, is wanting in our Southorn

capaoity to appreciate, before it is too late, '
our iim)>inilli>lr>il n?Kmin>r>? nml tint inini'.fu
to develop them. I think wo have. 1
have ovcry confidence in our futurtf, lot
more politic take what 'coufrsc ami produce
what result# they may. Southern industry
this moment the most prosperous of any 011
tho globe, rests also on the securest basis,
and it only requires that it should rise to a

tho following: ^
" J<mcournged by the new ot tiheir ueignbors,
the Haytians, our blacks appear also
disposed to attempt a n-vclution. lu the
parish of Westmoreland has recontly been
imposed a new tax, to which the n?jgro population
aro not willing to submit. Some
of the disaffected raised the standard of revolt
and entered the little village of .Savannah,

tho command of Col. Whitcfield.
" As these troops were marching towards
the place of cmbarkmrnt, they met
i\ long file of carts upon which were perched
a number of blacks, attracted thither by
the sound ol the drums and trumpet-?These
blocked up the passage from the
soldiers, and thfc oolonol ordered them to
retire. His older producing no effect, it
was npce3s..oy to mishit, ^hc tho weapon?,
and tho sword of Colonel Whitfield, which
probably bud not seen the light since the
battle of Waterloo, fell upon the shoulder*
of more than one of tho poor wretches.

Ml/KDER, SuiClDK, .RotJUKKT.-t-,It mrty

accounts of .such things are carefully oxolu fled
from our columns. Some may have
boon surprised tha'. wc did not even notico
the Tucker suicide, or the Sickles murder.
Our course iu excluding even the fact in
moh cases, as well us the details, iu founded
upon a Conviction that the less we know of
jrime the bettor for us. The horrible details
of horrible criino that are dealt out by
lity papers and faithfully circulated by.tho
country I'ress, must tend, from. the very
nature of things, to the iticrcaFe of iirimorility.
The human heart is $0 dcfperulely
iviokrd, that, whejt left to itself, it ofttn
>uly needs to know to execute its hellish
mrpased to soeuro the performance*- ftlaly
a man ht?? committed suicide who, bnfc
for t1i?i knowledge of the fact fchot others
liad done the ??ine thing, as wall n.<? nf the
mode in which it was dono, woul^l huyo
borne his fruit* and Buffered on until tho
hand of Providence would have relieved him.
And so of murderers and ok'.ier violate of
tho laws of Clod and of man. j'uuiiliatit v
with crime doudens the, 'senstbjl ities, corrupts
the heart, and makes a man "Jit fur

that he should never know of the ONtstonce
of crime. This is of course impossible.;?
Hut the nearer he can approach this point,
the better. This is especially true of chil
