I us From the American Farmer. CorroN Culturkin India. It Is stated as a statistical fact to b< refie.t, on that in Great Britain, there an three millions of people who owe thei mctns of support to labor bestowed ii so no form, on cotton produced in th Unied States,?Seeing this it is nrg e thau any great irregularity or failu e ii lh:> price or supply, could not fail to p o duce ser ous agitation if not convu'si >' in that island:?and hence is infenei the constant anxiety on the part of t <a Government, to put an end, as far a p .ssible, to all dependence for the rav material on the productive capacities o any people not under its dominion. Na tural as may appear such a desire, to givi possible encouragement by the (iov ernment, to every measure calculated t< 1 ^ I-?? MArtnAintllPnO Q ensure a supply ror III*! Iliaiiuiaviuiw u home from her own possessions abroad liie conclusion of the treaty between L r< Palmerston and Gen. Hamilton, recognis mg the independence of Texas, withou any reservation against slavery, in s country so extensive, so fertile, and s well adapted to the growth of cotton would seem to contradict the idea of an; such fixed and long sighted policy; as i seems also to be at war wi'h her owi measures for the extinclion of slavery ii the British West Indies. For ourselve we are nothing loath to believe, that th \oung Republic on our borders owes inucl in that, as in other important foreign ne goliations, to the superior vigila ice and sa gacity of her young. Diplomatist whose career has been marked equally fa energy an 1 ad Iress, in a degree unex: m pled Under so many discouragingeircnm stances, and highly auspicious for the for tunes of the country he rcprcsen's as wcl as, wo hope, his own. But that as it may it behoves us to look the qjes i<?n full ii the face. It is not by blinking it that w can understand the real state of the casr or be the better prepared either to aver or to submit to its results. From a sourc professedly hostile to the existence o slave labor, and. doubtless anxious to se< its prophecies realised in its own dav we extract some statements with the be ductions of the wrirer, which invite tlx attention as well of the practical plante as of the political inquirer. Fas esf a! hose doceri is a sound maxim in po!i.ic.< and in war. " Waif known cotton statistics go t< show, iabjdhe total amount of the cottor -export from this country 10 oruuin u 1840, was 1,245,000 bags, of which 343. 642 were from the Atlantic States. The cotton imported into Britain the same year, from India, amounted to 216,495? about one-half the export from the Atlan tic States. In 1834, it was only 88.122 so that during the last seven years, it has increased 128,373, or at the rate of 14? per cer . In 1834, the export from th< Uni d States to England, was 731,235 and its increase during the last sever years has be< n 5136,492. at the rate o 70 p r cent. So that, Indian cotto ? ii tl o British market (says the Phi anthro ? ht) has gained considerable on mat oi Am rica." The British possessions in the Eas> Indies embrace a territory nearly as ex tensive as Europe, with a popuhr on n 150 000 000 of ingenious people ; pre e o labor varying from Id. to 3d. a day. a u r\ cnnsume to comoi ted t< *IIV VWUVII J W ??W ?? | exceed the crop of the United States. in answer to the supposition, that thi quality of the cotton of India forhj s t < f ar that she can supply the wants of hi British manufacturer, even if the quantity could be produced ; the writer be!'or ui relies on the auth oritv o various travel Jers, to whose testimony it would be worst than foolish for the political economic and statesman, not to say the providen planter, to shut his eyes,?Some of thesi follow: Major General Briggs, who spen thirty two years in India, explored almos every part of it, and administered thi affairs of government, in several provinces says?" aWith respect to the means India pos 8esscs for growing cotton, it is necessan to consider the extent of the country, thi nature of the soil, its vast population, thi .description of their clothing, and the pur poses to which cotton is applied, befon we can have any concept ion of the gr< a capabilities it has of supplying not onM England, hut the whole world if neccs snrv."?\nd again he says?" We thin! enou :K has ?cen said loshew, that then is neither want of cotton soil for the inch genous nor the American plant, and w< may with confidence assert, hs the knowl edge of soils and climate becomes more and more stupid and attended to. that In dia will prove capable of producing cot. ton of any quality ; and to any extent." l)r. Spray, a botanist, oncofthe Com panys servants in Bengal, recently sta tijd before the Royal Asiatic Society? 44 It is certainly without a parallel it the annals of the world, that a countr possessing such capacities as India, shouh have been so long hen metrically sealed a gainst the enterprise of Britons, in orde to prolong the abuses of patronage. Ha< the peninsula been open, we should no now be dependant upon America for rav cotton, nor would the country have beei brought, as it was four years ago, to th< very verge of bankruptcy and revolution when the stock of cotton was notadequatt to three week's consumption. To thi astounding blunder the Southern divisioi of the United States owes its cotton plan tations. and its rice-fields, and also th< blighting course of Slavery. JKvidenc< confirms the fact, that cotton can b< grown in India, fully equal, or rather su perior, to the bulk of American." Kirkman Finally, Esq., in a communi cation to the Chumbtr of Commerce Manchester, says? "India is a country of such vast re sources, with 9uch abundance of scil ad pted to the cultivation of cotton, such s ??? | variety of climate. and such an immense ( ' laboring population, that it appears of all ? e others, best fitted to become a cotton- . e : growing country, and to send an article j r of the finest quality, and in the greatest r i abundance." 1 e Mr. John Gladstone, an authority in t 1 commercial matters, savs? ( a 44 For the supplv of the raw material J we are almost wholly dependent on for- ! ?| eign countries, whilst we . a eand possess 1 J 1 in the British dominions in India, re? o irces , t sufficient to niipply all we require an i to t s an in leased extent ifdemanded;|resources < ^ that are within our influence and control, ' f and where the only limit to the con?ump- ( tion of British manufactures is the ability 1 a of the natives to pav for them ; whilst we -! possess at the same tirne the means to j o : stimulate and increase our intercourse ! i t with safety and advantage to the empire < . at large." 1 J Mr. George AshK r or, in a paper read J * before the Asiatic Society, remarks? , t "Labor in central India is cheaper than , f a in almost any other portion of the world ; 0 the wages of an ahle-bedied man being t i, only three rupees [six shillings sterli gj I v per month. It has been estimated, tlier.* t fore, that Bcrar cotton may be cultivated 1 n profitably for 30 rupees per candy, rr for ri rather than a penny a pound !" , s The next question for the American ( e investigator of a question of the deepest h interest is. what obstacles have prevented ' the development of enpahil ties in India ' * to supply the country under whose gov- { U eminent, she groans. >vith an article from , which, were she suddenly cut ofT, the very , * existence of that government would be i 1 endange e . An answer to this inquiry t - in the view of the writer before us w;ll he j II found in the extracts wiiich follow, ( ' and if well founded would appear to ac- J i count fully, os well for deficiency of sup- , R ply. as for defectiveness of qualiiv. N In our next we shah present the views 11 ? of this pains taking writer as to the m< a- i 6 sure* and causes which mav he expected ' I to operate in the removal of the obstacles 1 s here designat? d. and to insu e to Great ' > Britain an ample supplv of this great sta - pie of our slave holding St tes "rom a reg. , 3 ion under her own controui, and of a | r quality to meet all demands. I ^ " The chief obstacle however t cotton- j * growing in the East, and indeed the great f cause of most of the evils of In la, lies in 1 > the nature of the government th it con- f * trol its destinies?a government which r 1 acts, not for the benefit of its subjects, r * but the aggrandizement of itself. Wres ing from the natives the proprietorship of jc J the soil, it imposes on them taxes unoer j ^ which no people could flourish. It sul * jec'8 them to a system of forced lahor ? and purveyance, which, allowing no se' curity for property, takes awav the motive * to its accumulation. The insolence, ex5 actions and cruelties of its officers in ma ny ? cases leaves no refuge to the m c 1 rahle native hut absolute poverty. Nothf ing scarcely is planned or < x u^dfirthe 1 good ot the country ; a few nabobs think j * themselves entitled to < oin money out of 1 I a hundred mil'ion people, though their p licy, so far as the accunulition of c 1 wraith is concerned, is scarcely so wise * as the slave system o ' t! e South. The f f virtual assumption hy the government of c ' the proprietorship of the soil, is the root of i ^ them-schief. It has proclaimed itself the F > universal landlord, and affirm d its right 1 to take from its tenants what it will. Be. | 3 fore the country came under British rule, f - <h Hindoo or 3/ahomrnedan sovereign ( 3 claimed as a tax a limited portion of the I * crop of every man's field, leaving not less i s than thrre-fourths to the farmer. The j F * British gevernment takes the whole mat- jj i tcr into its own hands?fixes an assumed * capability in every field to produce, an as1 sunied price of the produce itself, and ? then exacts from 35 to 45 percent, of the \ money value of that produce as its share e * forever;?and all this, without any re- * * ference to vary i ng crops or prices ! When 3 the produc exceeds the amount previous- ' ^ Ivf fixrd, the assessment is increased. s When an individual fails, in the payment t * of his tax. it is collected ofF the village. : ; When the crop of a whole village is de- t 3 ficient, neighboring villages are compelled ! y 3 to make up the deficiency. 45 parts in a j! " 100 of the gross produce of the soil are 3 taken hv the government. As to the f 1 cultivator his average share of the gross,, ' poduce is stated to he generally from five j t to six in a hundred ! The tax too is de4 manded in money;?a most grinding j' * hardship in a country, where the people |; depend more upon barter, than a circula- j 5 ting medium. , The effects of the land-tax are repre- f ? scnted as most destructive villages, in | tiro spast happy and flourishing S'av< be-in f desolated by it, and the cubivalors in nu- 1 merous districts driven from their fams, ' so that large tracts of land once ocnupicd, j are now covered with jungle and ranged . by wild beasts. It has beggared the in- / 1 dustrious Ryot, and converted him into a ^ robber or assassin. And there is perhaps I not one of the many families under which India of late years hu? groaned, that may ^ not be traced to its blighting influences. * In louo-3, a famine prevailed 11 m? north-western provinces of Bengal, which ' v carried off, it is said, 5U0.000 human be1 ings, more than the whole population o? , 2 Illinois. And yet the same year, as ; ' much gpain was exported from the lowe? ] B parts of Bengal, as would have fed half a million of people, at a pound of rice a day t for a whole year. The Oriental Herald ( * for February, 1839. states, thatu in 1819 . there were 19,676.076 beegas or abou 6 558,692 acres of waste land, in th< provinces where half a million ofhumar , beings died last year from actual starvn ( tion." While immense tracts of fertil f land have been abandoned, and other , ' suffered to remain the haunts of the tige ( and jackall the natives ef fh?? country , the rea , bonajide proprietors of tf?e soi', *r< * riot, n!Joweil to bring any porwon ol diein un * der cultivation, except < n payment of whatev. 4 r amount of taxation mav be impost hy the [ovornmenf, which is so heavy as in man] nstances, soon to derive off the new settlers. The pertinacious adherence of the Board o Directors to this ruinous system, seems to a noun' to madness. In the year 1335, Sn lobert Grant issued a proclamation, offering o those who would cultivate waste land, free lom from taxation for five years, and f o i ialf the usual amount of taxation, the nex ive. Afier the natives had overcome ihei listrust. of thisstrange kindness on the parte he government, | hey began to avail them selves of the offer, and, und'T a system whicl secured to abor its just reward, soon shown jvhat they could do. Tlie Court of Dir- c'nrs lowexer in ess than three years, as if ben >n kee )ing down all improvement in the counry, ord> red the offers to be recalled ! The Rev. Howard Mali om ?f Boston wrote ? hVb 1337 A more boau'ifui countrj :han that from Cuddalo e to Tanjore. (.Ifad is.) cannot poasibly he imagin d. Th< lense population and rich soil give thei nergies to each other, and produie a seem >f unsurpassed loveliness. Bot the taxes am ither causes keep down the laborers to asta t ielow th i? of our Southern staves The c v r in ntshaeofrc ti- ropis, on an averag b :?! (it) pi ru*n ! llut the mode of collc-c i<?n in money causes the cul'ivator to pay a? ?o it tliree-fotir*hs of the crop." This grinding land'tax, then, destroying, a it dors, the hope and energy of the laborer ind weakening ftie motives ;o ;he?vorch?e o ikill and carefulness, is the first and greates bst ide to the free growth ot cotton in In J:,i. f everal other obstacles may be noticed. 1. The almost absoiute dependence of the eti:|"i?.a'ors on iheir hankers The yfowere :ct'??n, in the b ginning of the wason, with >u ? ed, without money, is obligd to a?>py t< 'he village hanker, who lends his mon-'V o< ron lition, first, that h? receive exorbitant in ferest. secondly, th u the enthe crop he ?o! :<> him i:i advance,"at a I w price. Such 1 a lain, of course, la';eg away all motives o carefulness in raising and prepar ng 'he co. fon. inasmuch as the grower knows that lb lie will get no more for a good than bail ar tide 2. The revenue officers frequently will n*> suffer the crop to he tone he till socurity h jivop for *he payment of the land-tax. Moati (imp. the crop ripens; t ie cot'on falls to tli< rround, and b -coming mixed with leaves ant lu*', is greaily deteriorated. 3. The country is without good roadf Tl ere are no facilities 'or carrying the cot on of C -n'ral India to the coast. Raised il Bera for instance, it has to he carried ?o Bom ?ay. 00 mil p, on the backs of oxen, thi oi r ?'-v occupying 75 day--, and :i* -onveyance being 80 ^-r cent, on first cost \nd it not unfrrquently happens, that heav ams overtake it on the way, so that larg piantities are annuallv destioyed or greatly da naged. The finer kinds it *? sa:d, are fa nore injured by th rains than the inferior ?hence another inducement to send commoi :oton 4. The cotton is often seriously injur-d ht ieing brought in'o the government vards vhero, it the owners cannot immediately pa; he taxes, it is buried in the ground, no strav >r matting being interposed between it an< he -arth. 5. It is stated that in Egypt and Peru, cot on could not be grown at all, without the aii if artificial irrigation. No good cotton is im>or!ed into Great Britain from warm climates vhich has not been irrigated. In India, ai f to compel the growth cf common cotton irr fated lands are doubly taxed, sometimes tre >1 or quadruplv. Mr. George Thompson thus sums up iIi< lifficuhies in the production of cotton. 44 N >w look at the difficulties in the way o [rowing cotton : First, the absence of p o. inptiry right in ibe s<?il. Here is the master, fvil; here s the great i (justice of our admin Ft rat ion in India, depriving the natives of th< oil of their right to that soil; utterly d?-9pis. ng them ; sweeping off all the grpat landlordi md all the little ones together ;r ckoning di. cc'*y with the cultivator of the individual ield, and taking f om him at least 45 pur c? n' ?f the gros-* produce of the soil. Then, th< leavy nnd fluctuating assessnne ts;fhen the itter dependence upon the village bankers noducing, as you have seen, carelessness it {rowing, in pack.ng, and in cleaning the cot. on. Then the damage done to the cottnr in itsji urney from the in'erior to the coast Then the insufficient acc< mmodatinn, or rath t no accommodation at all, which it findi vhen it has arrived at the coast ; for youlTavi een. that in Guzerai, though a part of Ipdis is well managed as any other part, it is turn led into a pit, covered with lumps of earth ind 'here it I es to contract moisture, and i lotnes up in a s' ate perfect ly unfit to he packed ind embarked for this country. But again liere is tne want of care, on the part of the naive? I 'limit, n respect to soils -ind situations hen the noiuintroduction of foreign seeds vhich is a very important part of the business .his. the want of the mean* of transportation hen the negligence and capper of the roveni?-officer*. who of'en ihr- i:gh mere ois n hnit on, refi se to ass.ss the 10 'on, until *f i! rrry much injured >n its quality; then th van' of an effi :itn! svsiem of civil a?'mini?'r:t io-,. so that the individual who s injured cat ..tain no redress, and must apply, if '? ' dm?, tpply, to a tuan who h is rather an intc r si it >ppr*!S:inglutn, than in redressing his grievince-?.

None of those hindrances, it will be observed s inherent in the nature of the soil, or char icter of the people. A wise government couli "move them all.
