King Cotton.
We are glad to believe, from all the information that reaches us, that King Cotton, in order to make his dynasty more permanent, will abdicate the throne for a time in favor of Corn, Wheat and Potatoes.
That Cotton is King, we have no manner of doubt, but kings must fall like other men, unless they manage their affairs with prudence and discretion.
It is obvious that the great want of the South will soon be provisions, and that this can only be met by abandoning entirely the ver, our planters can again return to their former occupation, and King Cotton resume his potent and beneficent away.
But, until then, he must go into retirement, and if necessary, be burned for the good of his country.
The consolation in burning him, if that be required, will be that his enemies will perish upon his funeral pyre.
We shall let them see that Cotton is not only our King but theirs, and that if he falls, he will fall like Samson, and pull down the Philistines in a common ruin.
