tdllS OF the Idplulty Oh the increase oil the cot


ton culture in the Sonth, from the acqui

the Senator from Pa. had recommended Annexa-


ton because 1t wonld give us the command Of the


cotton trade OF the world This was folly, when
It was known that cotton would grow within the


latltudes OF 360 North or South OF the equator To

The second was equally indefessible, because no
