Excerpt from Remarks on the Policy of Prohibiting the Exportation of Cotton North also. Instead of New York exporting cotton to Liverpool, Liverpool would export to New York. This mode of supply would not be so advantageous to the North as that heretofore enjoyed, but it would be better than no supply at all. They would willingly adopt it. But such a trade would be an intolerable indignity to the South. It would be an attempt to regulate our commerce, partly by enemies, partly by neutrals, with no reference to our interests or opinions. A says, very justly, let us refuse to submit for a moment to any such one-sided traffic, in the arrangement of which we are treated with scorn or indifference by the contracting parties. Let us withhold every bale of cotton. All sides will agree with him; there will be no dissenting voice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
