THE DAILY NEWS. O OL JJ FOR COTTON? HOW TO li&KE TOE SOUTH INDEPENDENT. - TM? Street ot tate New Movement on * Ut? Northern, ?ail SkmUier? States. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW*. The Board or Trade of the City of Mobil? has suggested thu policy of requiring geld ia payment for all cotton which shall be sold hereafter In the South, and they have appoint ed a committee to correspond with the other Boar da of Trade in the other Southern cities, in order to obtain that co-operation and unity j of action which, for success, th? policy may require. The subject is worthy of our gravest - consideration. The Board of Trade of Mobile has in this step, m the humble opinion of the writer, had ' the honor ot laying before the people of the South a proposition involving perhaps the most momeulous interest of any question pre sentedto their consideration since the ia->ae ' made Of secession. It isa problem that will tonob. every mau Vi household. If earned into effect, the quick intelligence of the people of j . Mobile will have the applause of having de? veloped a polioy which may do more to rein? state the tallen foi tn nea of the South, and the pecuniary integrity of the United States Qov .' ernmeo:. than anything suggested since the reign of Bacboal folly and perfidy. r It ls a question so wide in its effec's, and so ~ ramifying io Mts ope ra tiona, that it is quite lmposaihJe to attempt, io a brief article, to fallow its bearings upon every branch of trade and ic du bl ry. It ia necessary to confine the f-~''^"~*,''s" ol the subject to a few leading It is not ??p*x?ed thal any well-informed - man tn the United States believes that tbe debt of the United States will ever b? paid; whilst it may be admitted (simply rM to ru&ko a ques? tion) that wiib the natural resources of the Uni? ted States it ia within the range of possibility thai, the .pecuniary obligations of the govern Went might bo discharged under an honest, 'impartial and econ om teal administration ol affairs, lt seems to me altogether visionary. Bot to say absurd, to anticipate any such result Ender tho vulgar and irresponsible despotism of a lawless Nor t hern majority. The North, rn majority which rules the United States co not, in the fini place, wish these debts Ui.be paid. Joe continued existence of these deb?a, as a source ot political power, is an essential ele? ment or their continued rule; and the Govern? ment of the United States px their hands ia simply a political and monet brokerage, con? trolled by their po weis-the national debi, 3K nalional. banka,, and the manufacturing rcepit*l> These have set np an aristocracy of bondholders, bankers and manufacturers-thu rulers, of the United States. Debts and paper nosey are essential to their flagitious rule; and if to-morrow every debt due by the United -Atalas was paid, and specie was resumed as the currency ol the country, they would imme? diately, ir t hey could, plonge the country back into' mdfbtecuiesa and pajier mosey. A con? solidated, central government, with despotic Brers, ia the object of the North ern majority, us can best be obtained hy extending the powers of tho government over the pecuniary totease I* of the people. Independent cf the debts of the States which they intend to ?Hinne, the territorial expau sion ot the United States is intended to afford .?pie resources for future indebtedness, ex? penditure and patronage, by which the govern aaent shall be strengthened and centralized, and tho posier of these people perpetuated. Seither tho toils nor the struggles, the brama nor the muscles of the people of the United States can ever restore to them an economical or equitable) government. ^ Porom this conclusion as a premise, I proceed to th? subject, matter under consideration ; and io this oondi ion of things, it ca mot. too grave ly be ooosidered by the people of tbe Southam otates, ?bat part they are to act. They can? not govern; bat they can influencie, rebut, and destroy. At present they are hustled into the I .bottom of the hopper to be ground ont and made meet for Northern consumption. After all their device* of destruction and debase? ment, oar Wootton and other produce still re? main to be made Instrumental to their wealth, and to the support of their whole government? al pohoy.' Supposingthe cotton crop of this year tobe two million five hundred thous md bales-at twenty-four cents per pound-and four hun? dred ?nd fifty pounds per bale, it wu] have pro? duced in iound numbers two hundred and .evenly millions of dollars in United States paper mosey, or potting, that money at tn ir tv- J three and o ot-third per cent, below par (if au y body caa defino its valse) it will have produo ed one'..indied and eighty milli ona of dollars toroid.

They give ss their waste paper for I : oar cotton, work it un into manufactured gooda, 11 and theo compel os to boy them at then- own Prioes, by excluding all foreign comp?tition by their prohib? tary tariffs.

The governme United cit?tes baa sbolishcd all bani States, which were bound to pay speci hap set up ia their stead banks wi boona to pay no specie. Aa those ? sources of money making, thoy are dis with strict Mew England disinterested! equity; that is, she baa twice os rn?ny barks aa any other portion ot the States; and tho South has nono, or none. All efforts on the part or mdivi Congress at i?8 late seasion to obai order of tbiog8 have, of coarse, beei avail. Out of a roll of money before u at hazard, we find that three-fan tho bills are from New England. Th. money with which the Ne* England facturera nave bought our cotton. Th for the planter io felling bis cotton fraudulent papor or honest gold. It would seem almost absurd to \ point oat to any practical business i enormous disadvantages and Lazare which the South muet labor and uar. I business, nuder the system tt present i I tttion. And* the correlativo seems j plain. With one hundred and eighty dollars m gold annually for oar cotton, speak of tho gold value of our other pi of tobacco, xioe and sogar, which wouli tbo same pat?,) tb J Sooth caa ros tx banka and control the entire currone, commands the situation. Cotton ia 1 I day, as it was in 1860. Let it resume it The Southern States, though stripped < political rights, liberties and power, sti the sceptre of commerce. It lies ut tb? let them boldly graap it and rule. W own gold in our own vaults, our own co our own fields, the dirty paper of the Stales Government ia or the vory eli conqueue a to us. With credits re esta ed ana the round of basiuess rein -tale L oar own marts of trade, we can not only [ to smile in disdain at tbeso parvenue, u adventurers of a vulsax anstccrucy, I can control them to our biiding. We ( tbe price of their possessions, and diolati money. No one will controvert the.principle of that the supply will follow the demand, seems an error to suppose tha. a domanc tbo North will accomplish the result of i ing the South of tho specie it may rece i ita proauote. In tbe first plaoe, hoarding, which has dy beean in the Sooth, may occasion i demand for specie. The sphere of iov< money profitably a d safely In the So very limiten, citato bonde, under negro are very precarious. - A single legislati white mon may repudiate .the whole t United Sta es -bonds are hardly less so. eepting land, there is baidly a safe ID vest in the Suu tb. And even of this. Northern and bate hive occasioned a vast deprcci and mutations in value. The Governmo the United /states, since ita collapse iut hands of the Northern mobocratic jority, under the vicegerency ot ita aowned ra?-eplitter, baa moved ate onward io the pathway of revou It is now probably the most pi nous government m tbe world. Witt black and mulatto races iotrodac 1 into Sove rn iceni of the country-people n'j tori j in the history of tho world fit tied onij the sternest sort of despot em. ana the s of aggression and change which actuate, rulers-at this moment threatening war ' England and Spain, to bolly these conni out of Canada and Cuba, (and only rostra by a pis-bladder currency ) no man cant vear hence what will be tiie condition of United States-politically or pecunianly. der such ciroumstanees, to take the paper roney ot such a country, now tbtriv-four a half percent, below par in pa \ ment for ] dace, the equivalent of gold, seems simply surd. Accordingly shrewd men througt the Sooth have oegan tho boarding of g and taus hoarding- may next year absorb inconsiderable portion ot the colton oroj sold fur specie. Tho efiec. of this is certain. Not only it keep specie in tbe country, bat it will est Hst? gotd aa the currency. Again. Gold viii not leave, the Sooth, cause tho domandfor it here will be gres than that at the Noah. lat. Because no s Bible man here has any confidence in the int tion of tue U.iited Slates Government to i their notts ia specie. 2d. Because their va fluctuates daily. This paper was depreo a when it bought oar cotton 30 to 83 per cent, is now depreciated 8i| por cool. It has der ctatrd within one week three per oent. Wi lt bought our cotton its depreciated va] compared with spjcie, waa taken into co usa ration. So mach more waa given lor the c ton, aa it waa lesa valuable tuan gold. Wo it rel! still lower, what did tho planter gain this substitute for gold? Why take the cot terfeit tor tho reality-tbe i nod equate, flue tu. ing sham for the reality? So. puoso, lor i stance, that a planter Bella 100 bales of cot tc 150 poonda per bale, which at sixteen eec ser poand produces $7,200. But ii t akes United Slates waste paper, be ge 110,800. What does he gaio by sell;: 'or the paper? Independent of the hs ird of intermediate depreciation, it lot a whit better for paying h lebte, or for making parchases. Quite tl xmtnary ia tbe case. lu either taue, aa tl specie- ia the real standard of value, it will 1 ?stimated and taken at its aprreeiatlon o vi :be piper money. With the seven thooaan wo hundred dollars of specie ia hand, tb ilanter can either boy the ten thousand elgl lunched dol?an of this debased paper, or hav to equivalent appreciation in any pecuniar ).? commercial trana CUOQ. Under such cb Kimstaocea, I am at a loss to perceive wba Uscretioo tbore can be m receiving th.s papei iromise at all in the sale ot cotton or othe itaple produce. Once repudiated under sac >bvioas views of interest, and specie is obtaii id for a single crop ot cotton or other a aplet t will become the currency of the Sooth. On lundred and eighty millions, of cotton alon? [and I pat tt at a low figure.) paid for in go! a the South, will at once afford aa ample aap ?ly of currency, and a fund for Southern bank lng and a backbone for Southern securities And wheo the entire staple productions of s untry are purchased with gold, constituting ts they ai. the basis of all trade, and the dom mating influenc J in commerce, minor tran sac tiona will fo.low tbe greater operations, ant the whole curre ney will be gold. Tbo gold therefore, received in the South for its oro lace will remain io the Sooth, because then will be a dem md for it for the use of currency Bel ore pursuing this branch ot the subject let as turu back for a moment and soo to wba other asea our passive acquiescence in North ern swindling is applied. Their action ma; de-velope more tully both our present folly ant our material power, it not Burrendored. The (Treater part of the co ton crop is con sumed by the foreign nations ; and, if requit? ed, tl ey will pay specie for it. It is on thii account, it" eqaivaleucy to epocie ia foreign Dations, that i ia important to the North io carrying on their foreign commerce. Io set tliug the commercial balsooes against them they send cotton, or drafts on ooaon shipped. It is tor the same reason that tbe cotton of the Sooth sent to foreign nations is a powerful assistant tn the Government of the United States in meeting its payment ot specie abroad in the shape of interest doe on ita bonds. It la plain that the operation of thia paper sy* t "m directly affects the Government Oi the United States. The foreign oom meroe of the North is sup? ported from two resources-the taxes coming (rom the people and paid to the bondholders, aud tbt> ootioD and other produce of ne South. By the firmer, tho.tariff is. to a groat extent, made efficient io the revenue it bring* tho government. These taxes paid to tho bond? holders constitute the chief demand in their tx>eiiditni8 by tbo bondholders, for foreign manu'actured commodities. They occasion their impon au >n. And tneir importation pro? duces tho rovenno from tho tanti. The opera? tion, so far as ho i ai iff is concerned, inna round in a cir -lo. First, tho tanff tuxes are col ected in specie. Soooud, this specie is paid to bond ho dory. Hard, the bond Holders, the richest property holders iu the North, lav it out iii buying imp rtodaruo'es. I hrs doman J for lmoorted articles awaiti occi-rons tho u to como luto tho country. Again.

Suppose ibu pooplo ot tao ?south should require i that their cotton Bliatl bo paid far io spoeio, I what trill be tbo euee-. ? Une hundred and eighty million of dohara worth of cotton is I paid for i< in gold. From whence is th s sold t?ceme? It ia not in the South. lb must come from Europe or the North. Shipped to Europe or the Nortb, the purchaser, iftbe gold remains in the South, must be reimburs? ed tho specie he paid tor it. So much more cold will bo required to be hid down bv tho coneuiner. whother m Europo or tho United States. Specie, from tho purolisse of the cit? ion, in all its chaneca of han I -, most follow it, to its final consumption. Tho original pri?e in goM is left in the South, and as muoh moro gold is required to move it, at every change of proprietorship. Ir will possibly bo objected here that tbe gold will not remain in tue Sunih, but like other commodities of trade will follow the demand ; end that tbe Nortb, by their superior resources of commerce, will extort it from the South. The premise will not be disputed ; but the con? clusion Coes nor. follow. As I havo pointed ont, the demand is here. I return to the consideration of this proposi? tion from Mobile, as a question of curroncy. Another result following tho selling of our cotton for specie docs not exclusively belong to the South, but extends in its benefits to all of the United States. Tue people of Ohio and of | Indiana are equally interested. It may bo made a short out to effect the policy of Mr. Pendleton. lt may compel the resumption of specie pay? ment* throuyhowt the United States, and thus restore the currency of the constitution Nobody but tho gamblers and political des? peradoes of all kinds no* ruling at Washing I ton can look with approbation at the continu uauco of an ii redeemable, fluctuating paper currency in the United States. .A grea'er evil, short of war, canuot bo toileted on any people. Tho very object of all government justice betwixt man und man-is defeated by it in the daily transactions of lifo. Legitimate enterprise is paral>zed. whilst all business in? volving the uso ot money partakes of gamb? ling. At every nee and fall of the value of tho currency, thousands aro robbed, and forlones are made and lost without industry on the ono hand or fault on the other. Tho government itself becomes tainted with thc lust of lllegtti imata gain and speculation, and loses all prin? ciple in its administration. Wo have to livo nuder that government and abide its acts. Now, with Cal ?torn i a and Texas, and tho whole co' ton region of tho South h iving nothing but specie for its curroncy, one of two things must take placo-cither the paper currency of the United States must bo mado equal to gold, or it will be destroyed, lo either event specie will become the currency of the United States. Here, theD. is a grand"icsult, commensurate with the United States-excluding New Eng? land. Is the result not worthy of attainment? If the planters of the South will sternly de? mand and enforce it, the result is within their power. There is a still farther object to be gained by enforcing this pobcy. It is in vam to look for discretion or equity of laws from the rul? ing Jactaoo now in possession of tho Govern? ment of the United btates. Both are essential to a lasting an 1 general prosperity. This par? ty aro only to bo overthrown by events. Their profligate and subversive rule must bo realized io tbe distress and rain it brings to the peo? ple of the North, lt is this paper money, in its varions operations, and the vast taxes col? lected from tho people, and received by the bondholders and capitalists, and expended at the North, which gives the Bern bianco of pros? perity they exhibit. By no contrivance of government cm they pay ten cents in the dollar on their indebtedness. Bot then they postpone their debts for posterity to pay,' whilst the enormous taxes collected yearly from the people make the capitalists richer, but the people poorer every day. At the bot? tom of this who IP system of wholesale robbery stands ih0- tyar miry. Break up thia, and wo go far to uproot the wbolo system. Tho next cotton crop, rigorously told for specie, may accomplish this obj ect. Ibo remedy may be sharp ; bat it is the onlv romedy. Aud it bas the advantage of not affi cling us, bot thoeo whose tyranny and profligacy have imposed this evil on the people of the States. Tho brazen sham of a tree government they now have in insolent t last at VVashiugton fitly rep? resents its swindling currency-its swindling bonds-and its swindling tariffs. Tuero is one other benefit I will merely al? lude to, rat her than expose. Tho Southon! people are a peculiar pe*?plo-peculiar iu thoir tum, their sufferings mid their wrongs. They are treated as a conquered people. They rest under no obligations to ujhold tho govern? ment oftheirconquerors,in uny of the,.- es? sential attributes ol rule, ls it not hotter for them to stand apart as much as possible, and to follow tho dictates of their own interest in a policy es peculiar as their condition? In the trouble* and contests which are assuredly to come, will it not be well for the people ol the South to have their country filled with gold? Is not the experience of widespread ruin in one repudiated currency o jongn? Can any man estimate tho difference between tbo pow? er of a people, more particularly tried under any pressing emergency, when poseossed of j tbe money of tl e world in abundance, and their abject helplessness and poverty in pos? session only of dirty linen rags? Let us demand gold for cotton. Lot us ex? tend the demand to sugar and rico. Let us no longer ba 'ho weak and inert tributary toole of of a vulgar and venal mobocra ry-a fraudulent and hostile government. Let us retome the power that belongs to os. Let us io adminis? ter our monetary affaire, that it shall yet be ibo inconsiderable privilege of every living Jonfodorate soldier to apply the countenance )f Mr. Abraham Lincoln to the ordinary uses )f other waste paper.
