My ides of the uiiltei* is they have the money and cm do without our cotton We make the co ton and are compelled t) s !! it- Why? Because we have g?t no money, nothing to ia" ?r feed our stock on ; and just so long as that is the cisc, our cot'on will go, not for what it is wor.li, but .just whit wo ciu get for it. When 'lie time cuius that we can say we have got plenty t i ca', then we cau tay 11 iw give m wli-it our cotton is worth and y.>u cm hive it. and not without.

In the first place. I will say, not since tho removal of Messrs. Morgan and Scott by (I tv. Tillin in, have 1 nta i<* applica'ion or in any way intimated that I desired the rthoo of Treasurer, and in the second plice I will sav Ilia) if I was a Candida'c, it must have been in th .? wicked imagination of the Union couvsp u lent to ' The Shite,'' who sent a special to tha* t uper Jan. 27th, in which ho sail i e.n'cs-tit itivo .1.
