 OF

We yield a large portion of our space, to-day, to a verbatim report of the interesting speech of Major, ''in Liverpool, last week, as the matter of which it treats is of cosmopolitan interest. The British press have commended this speech with rare unanimity. Even the "Times," which seldom says a good word for anything proceeding from the tongue or pen of an American, compliments Major, and devotes a considerable portion of its space to a report of it. The views of a practical man are always worthy of attention, and Major, who was born and bred in the land of Cotton, is thoroughly familiar with the subject he discusses, both as a planter, and a Cotton merchant. He is now connected with the well known Cotton Buying Firms of, of Mobile, Savannah, Memphis and New Orleans.''

We commend this speech to the careful perusal of our readers, especially to men who contemplate emigrating to the Corn and Cotton Fields of America.
