The planters pay for the privilege of rais-
ing more cotton than the spinning jennies
and power-looms Of Chrisiendom can con-


vert into cloth. This loss, it will be seen,
| is moi confined 10 the difference in price.
In every way large crop is injurious to


the planter-bringing less money and
costing him more.


The remedy upon this presentation Of


the case is so palpable, that if the plan


ters do not adopt it Of their own accord,


it would seem useless to call convention


to compel them to do so. But one plan.


ter says he cant reduce his crop unless
others adopt the same course. This rea-
soning is quite fallacious. Let Others do
as they like, that planter will do well who
converts bis estate into farm, properly
so called. producing every thing that he
needs at home, and sending to market on
" the surpluses raised upon II. The pro-
duce sent 10 market should represent the
net gain Of agriculture. No agricultural
country can prosper, where the producers
buy all they use and sell all they raise.---
The bulky nature of agricultural products
makes the cost Of carriage formidable
and wasting charge upon commodities used
or sold. Suppose that The extra labor en-
ployed in raising a large crop were direct
ed TO other productions--the planters
would gain by the enhanced price Of the
staple, the reduced expense Of sending his
crop to market and the value Of whatever
commodities the labor so diverted might
produce. Though one individual cannot
effect vast market by singy changing
the mode Of agriculture heretofore pur-
sued, yet he can diminish his own charges
and supply his own wants better by be-
ginninga a system which would become gcn-
eral if any considerable number Of per-
sons were to set the example. He would
himself experience the advantage of the
reform and thrive in the midst Of those
who do not. There are many other mat
ters that might be introduced in support Of
the views we have, disjonted enough,
brought before our readers; but the length
Of this article admonishes us Of the neces.
sity Of deferring them 10 another time.
