that sn fjtr from being surprised that any Southern

1 highly respect the motives of tbnsu NuMiflars who,
with Judge Hirper, would prefer that the Elate
shall give a blank vote, thaa that she ahoutd vote

And, finally, that I believed the currency of the

of the reiective ciirreoriet while the latter pro
duced the grotw mikstice of contputtuig 0Vitors lo

tractcd to pay when it wat cheap and abuuJant.
That the idea entertained by some, that the cuttoo
plantoft paid the diflnrence in the exchange be '
tween tbe North snd the South, was almost pre.
cily the reverse f the fact, for if they st4d their a
coitoQ here, the purchaser added Ihe ihuVrence of '
exchange lo the price of the cotton ; and if they
hiiied it, they could sell the bill drawn agiuuat it
at f premium equal to Ihe dtTtireoc 4T excltange;
and thai almost every planter ohtsined a premium
upon one thouind dollars' worth of cotton, where - ' '
he paid premium upoflon huudred dollars' worth ,.
of merchandise. But that, in Cict, there was re l
ther a gain iq the one case, nor hi in the other ;
the apuirent exchange being merely the d.lleretice '
between ihe value of the dilfcrent currencies.
