Besies this, 120,000,000 or nativs aro clothed with cotton, and after y~are supplied, the surplus is not like S- tbe .very great." But it has appeared from tables careful 13' bnplled from the British exports from I raw and manufactured cotton res 6r1e vlyfrom.183.3 to 1846, that a large part of the 120,000,000 inhabitants of In. dia, are'clothed with goods manufactured frt n cotton of Anericans growth. From IM30t" wbep the bonds of the East India Conpany's monopoly were relaxed, to 1840 " thidssport of plain calicoes from Great titian to India increased from less than 10,000,Q0 of yards to upwards of 179,000, 100 pfyards, whilst the average annual im port of cotton into.Great Britain from Indi was no larger.in 1840 than in 1833. It i,\ * tknadwn 'fact in the history of the cotton tade that India exported in former years many millions of yards of fine cotton goods Great' Britian, the balance of paynieats ing largely in her favour, whilst it is no 4es' a fact as remarkable in the history of ro'dictivj industry, that inventive power in Great Britain, in the superiority of her .1"hachinery, has enabled her artizans to nn dprsell the East India Cotton manufactur. era in their own markets. The course of tradebeing reversed, so is the commercial balance'which has long ceased to send sil ver to the East Indies, but requires a specie adjusment the other way. But the political results of this failure to procure the support of the British govern uuent in sending a commission, such as Mr. * Wight's motion contemplated, with the de. cilve'evidence adduced by Sir James Cam Hobhouse, are of much importance in a po. Jitical view. The fact that upwards of one hundred millions of the inhabitants of India sire plothed from cotton produced in the United States most strikmngly shows tli commercial dependence of Great Britain on htihe'M thiern section of the Union. This 'dependenco is not international. It is lini. te to'thatgeogrcaphical division of the Uni. tel.States embraced in the cotton region; but the fact of this dependence has recently been brought out with so much prominence, in consequence of the failure of endeavors to 'extend the cultivation or cotton in the " 'BIritish West Indies, that with a calcula tir ,people like the British'. i's tendency osiui& slavery agitat otmn (Fre and d, arm the a iJirs in that n wXvrnment o hai screxe!OI lesson Si.to them on this subject itn theea WVesit dAo~sheme of emancipation, by which e~La wasted one hundred muilllins of . 4ars andl distroyed their most. beantiful - nalpossession in the Antilles.

ADJUSTMENT DiLL.--Mr, Built toolf the flcor and concluded the speedh which he conimenced on Tuesday last. i lie dId. not like the principal features of the bilI; the admission of California with her pre sent limits, and taking territory from Texas. He was afraid that unless some reservations were made prior to her adniissiop,. in the, form of a compact, .between the (.nited States and California the latter-would ovin the public domain within her limits. lie nmight he asked whit would be satis factory to her. IHis plan would be to cur tail California to the line of 30 dog. 30 min., because that lino had reccieid a sort of popular approbation. Mr. Clay would make a single inquiry of the lion. Senator from South-Carolhna. Whon he wished t) run the line of 30 deg. 30 min. through California, did he require a recognition of the right to carry slaves south of the line. Mr. Butler resumed. Ile would, have the territory Sout~h of 3( deg. 30 min., to carry with it all the incidents, all the rights, and all thq obligations of the Missouri Compromise. Ile referred to the history of that Compromise, and showed that it meant at the time, that slavery should exist in that part of the territory of Louisiana, south of 3f1 deg. :30 nin. Ite wanted it to be understood that slaveholders wi id.he at liberty to carry theirslavesSouth of the line. But still he did not know that slave ry would go into the new territories. But it .might he said that if slavery did not go there, the South would then he ligh ting for an honorable existence and pro spective advantage. The submission of the South had been calculated upon. Resistanec had been styled criminal and Ireasonable. But t hose who had the temerity to approach the precipice, would have to go over it. I e thought that provision which formerly exis ted in the Constitution, requiring a two thirds vote of Congress to pass certain mea. sures ought to be restored. If the South would preserve this Union, and their own rights, lie thought they shoumld unite and form a union amnong thenselves. lie thought the dissatisfaction amnoneg the people of the South was much greater and much deeper than had been exhibited in the halls of Congress. The channel of separa tion was being worn deeper and deeper. lie was in favor of the Missouri Compro mise in its true meaning. Mr. Cr.niEss moved to hav the hill on the table, but withdrew the tuotion at the earnest solicitation of Air. Clay. The hill was then reporteal to the Senate, and all the amendments which had been made in Committee of the Whole were concurred in. Alr. Walker then moved to strike out all that part of the bill, excepting that relat ing to the admission of Cahifornia. After debate between Messrs. Bright, Clay, Berrien and Blenton, the amendiunt was withdrawn. Mr. IHale then ofhl'red an amendment, which was adopted, giving the Judges oft he United States Courts in the Territories the right to writs of /iages.; corpus. Mr. Benton then ofiered his amendment in relation to the boundary of Texas, and tnade a long speech in favor of it, and in reiiion to the general lunestion of the title df 'iepos.

Mr. Filmore's Slavery Opinions. $lnce Mr FtLLa aOn'ti elevation to the Presidency, a number of papers, both North ad South, have ro.publi;ited two 'letters, purporting to be on .tho slOyory -question, written lay hin, and first published by his friends, (uring the canvass for tlioPresiden. cy, in f t3. These letters are supposed to rurii"it conclusive evidence that he is nel her an abolitionist nor a free soiler. "Mr. PIi.,loRE," says the New York Sunday Timc, -"in common with both northern mnd southern ne, is opposed to slavery in he abstract; but on the cardinal points o nvading the constitutional rights of the south. he is entirely sound. There is no he slightest foundation to believe that hi s in the,least tinctured with abolitionism r free soil. In a letter to Mr. Gayle, da .ed Julf31,1848, he says he regards slave. y as an evil, but one with which "the Ia. ional gb7Crntent had nothing to do;" and idds thati he does not believe that "Con fress ha! any power orcr it."

We remember it when it was first publi'shed: we were not' deceived by it then nor are we deceived by it now. Tn our judgment it is not the letter of a candid man. It was written for the pur. pose-and for no other purpose than to deceive the South, and it had the desired efrect. It is the letter of an artful writer, who is endeavoring not to commit himselr against his principles, and at the same time to induce others to believe that h:6'does not entertain those principles. ln says: '"in regard to the charges brought against tme from the South on the slave ques'ion, I' have concluded to state briefly my posi tion." Does he proceed to do so What are the charges brought -by the South against the North'? That they arp in fa vor of the right of petition I If so, then Mr. Fzr.Lratou admits. himself to be on abolitionist, for lie says that lie is in favor of it, and that, when he was in Congress, his votes were always recorded in favor of the reception and' consideration of abolition petitions. Upon but one other point does Mr. FILalMOnE state his position, and here, his language is, purposely, to some extent, ambiguous and equivocal. Ile clearly in. tended, that, before the ciection, the South should construe his letter to mean, as the 'l'ins now construes it, "that the nation al government had nothing to do with slave ry" any rchere; whereas its true construc tion, and that which he himself would now put upon it, is this: "that the national gov. ernment. has nothing to do with slavery" in the Shatcs. Does GIDDINGS, HALE, Sr wAnD, or any other sensible abolitionist, contend that Congress, under the Consti. tution, has any thing to do with slavery in the States !* Was any such charge seri. ously made by the Democratic papers of the South against Mr. FiLL.oRE Clearly rot, and be knew it. Why then did he state his position upon'& matter which is as clear as the noon-day sun-about which there is no doubt-and in relation to which no charge was made, and why did he for. get the points upon which charges were made and fail to answer themi The char. ges made by the South, against the anti slavery party of the North, are, hiat they do not, in good faith, carry into effect the provisions of the Constitution in relation to fugitive slaves; that they are opposed to the admission of new slave States; that they hold. t hat Congress has powgr over slavery in; :he terr;oriesu.;n *. pR Columiba;- n For-u, &c: a"~I ,ha, . - in ray'or 01 .. . - -neu cf thn power. by Conigress. Upon not one of-tlie arge does .Mr. Fzr.r.aronv. stato his position. lie in factt gives his views upon no charge which is seriously made by the South against thm Nor-th SEwAnD, or any oth er abol ition is?, may, with perfect. consistency, have written the letter of the 31st July; and fromn its silence upon the points, really at. issue betwveen the North and the South, much is to be inferred. Mr FILIrraonE kniew well wvhat charges were contained in the Bill, aiid wvhen lhe neither traversed noar answered any one of the material alle gations, according to) all the rules of plead. ing andh sound logic, he permitted iudgment to, go agaiinst himn bny default. ie is thus conncted b~y his own shiowinig of being strongly " tinctured with abolitionismi and free soil."

Ent-roa.:-I have seen the, names-of several young men announced or recopt mended, as suitable persons to represent.

Now,- air, I think that old men should be called on and, chosen to represent us-because tlioy have more experience, and maturity of judgment, and will deliberate much before they act, and weigh well the consequences of their acts. - We should look to our law makers a i body of vouerable and aged men, poncs st of that knowledge and dignity of choriotor,. that made a Roman Senate appear to their enemies as an assemblage of the Gods. I am much pleased that we have a gen tleman, as candidate for the Senate, whose character Is such as to ensure him the confi dence of his constituents, and whose tal ents will be employed for our mutual good. I trust that the voters at tho next clection will show that their confidence in hintia ttndiminished. I respectfully bog leave to call the atten.. tion of my follow-citizens to the following citizens as suitable persons to represent Claremont in the hlouse of Representatives, to wit:-Col. Jons J. MoorE, Capt. J ENs Rr..nerIIT, and Mr. Mrr."S. MATEs, who have heretofore been our repreontntives. They are citizens whose characters ae well known to most of the voters of Clat iiontt. They are venerable. aged, and experienced nmen, and who have a settled and conidea" ble interest in the State. I hope that my fellow-citizens will not be so unmindful of their standing in society, as to overlook them at the next election. A CiTIZEN. July, 1850.} Coins inicated. Mr.. ErrTon :--I have-just re4l ex s *mlo- tditorial ef u tne utietrite o.tIn 13th. fiat.,.'in roply t p y coast r rj&in the &anner of' the~ -iji instanf. I biwebheen a iittle attrprised at the lofty tone of provocation naumd bty tho Editor,in his connents ont the "style or hisi (niy) production," as we'll as. by what hie is pleased to term, "the false imopressiuon he has Iahered to prodico ~on the public mind, in reference to ha position or our paper." "Thyis (he adm.9.)is tuso characteris-1 tic which has provokdd our notice.'' .6 Sir, if the " Editor of the Bl.;ck Rifer WatecIman" can find nothing In onr corn mnunication to cavil about, but them r-ingle esxpression he has dwelt upon here, we will endeavor to satisfy him and the public, thaut we mean hinm no injustice, and aro far from endeavoring, or desiring to endeavor to leave a " false immpression on the public mmind iin referenuce to i..e position of his paper." The facts are these, I received, with many others, a Circular from the office of the "lilack Rirer Watch man." callinga a meect ing on last Sale Day, of Anti-Bnnk men to nominate Anti-Unnik candidates for the Le gislature. I attended, but could see ormhearI of but very few persons in, the streetsdi posed to participate in such a prdeediung. I several times saw a little knot of 5 or 0 per sonsm, the luading " Editor ot tho Watchmian" one of them, caucussing on the street side. The day past o1f, and no public meeting was held. rThe few gentlemen I saw ac tive in the street, known as anti-Bank men retired (mtost or them, I think,) with the " Editor of the WVatchmazn,'' to his ofic. Late in tho afternoon, it wast given out, lby whom [ knowv not, anid care~ not, that the anti-Bank parrty had declined holding a pub lio meeting, but would anntounce that week through the press, Messrs. Sr.ms and Krns NEDY as the anti-Batik candidates. Now, sir, I <tid infer and suppose that the paper wvoul be the " lack Rirer W~atchnmn,'' for the following reasons: Wheni that paper was first spoken of, a rumor got afloat thart it was started ini opposition to certain persons andui to cortainm princip.'.s, mmd that it wouhil attack the Batik of the State. TheIi leaditig -dir"was asked bty several gentlemen, whether this was true, and hais reply w~as that "tihe paper would not sustain the Blank ts tiur ats others did." The paper was pub-. lishmed, and in sanme few mionths was filled with anti-Dank communications tinder imnon ymtous, andl as it has well beeun said by a wvriter styling himself' " Pembtroke," irre sponsiblo namtes. Sonmo ten days before a mieeting was called to nominate candida~tes publicly, (whichm as already stated pirovedl such au signmal failure) anm anti.Blank ticket was noinantedl in thie " Wantchman," coin. posed of Dr.ssm, Ex~ox and Si'r, nil at whiom decli ned amn acceptance.
