The interest pf the- British Govern ment, of ihe Bankiof KnMand, and of tbe banks of that country in respect to this ar- Register. ticlei are :tbe same as the interests ot the insurance, on the mere personal resnonsibil ity of the drawers and endorsers of tbo btll. Hence these losses are comprehensive and disastrous after every commercial crisis and revulsion. j , ;i Now we propose giving to lhe banks in all cases the higher protection pf these se curities, and that early next autumn, one ' ' at m 1 . ' or more banks in earn oi tne great com mercial cotton markets of the South should commence making advances ou the crop, according to a scale to be graduated by what will ba a safe calculation ' of its probable a mount, assuming 12 cents at home, lo be about the fair natural average and remuner ating price of this staple, on a product of sixteen hundred thousand . bales, which is but as large a return as the actual labor of the country now engaged in this; branch of industry is capable of harvesting. The em barrassments of the Southwestern States having prevented the planters in these States from making any purchases of slaves from this Atlantic Slates, during the last two years, whilst not less than ten per cent, of the slave labor of the South has been abstrac- ed in the same period from Ibe cultivation of cotton, and applied to the raising of pro visions, and to the construction of those ex- ensive railroads now in progress through out that portion of the Union, j For these advances we propose that the banks should issue to the planters, mer chants, and factors of the country, on the production of the bill of lading, and the assignment of the policy of insurance, post notes of such description, and payable ai such periods as a convention here after contemplated may suggest, notes which may bo made to answer both the purposes of currency and exchange, the details of which we refer to that body. By this ar- rangement, nowever, we leei sausnea toe credits can be so distributed that frooa the day ofl the shipment of our cotlon it may probably 'be held at least six months in Eu- cpe, without the foreign consignee being under an advance of one farthing, and we think it quite easy to confer on the bouses which the shipments are confided, sufficient strength to enable tnem to bold pver fore- vena longer period, should S3fe remunera ting prices not be obtained on the maturity of the bills. ; A With the view of securing this strength. is indispensably necessary, that the con signments should not be too much diffused but confined to a limited number of hous es in Liverpool and Havre, who, acting as the agents of all those who will come into this conservative system, will feel a common interest, and will naturally aid aDd assist each other under all and every. contingency. This fellow citizens, is but the brief out line of a great scheme, for the protection of our commerce; finance, and exchanges, the details of which, must be left for pro found deliberation, and concerted action. To accomplish this object, we hereby invite tbe planters, factors and cotton mer chants of each district or county in tbe Southern Slates, and Territory of Florida, together with the banks, in each of the said States am Territory, to send delegates to meet as in convention it Macon, Georgia, the coming sen noinical wisdom ! all times, and ti er homely aphoruir., : take care of thee, taken care of by ( mit ibis call and i earnest hope, tha: ; co-operate with i : we believe lhe I. mon country arc ; .
