HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS,
The proprietors and iimniifnclnrt r« of Ib'S-
; TETTER S CELEBRATED STD.M.H'II BIT- i
TUBS can appeal with perfect confidence tc !
; physicians and citizens generally of the Uniicd ’
1 States, because the article lias attained a reptt- ‘
i tai ion heretofore unknown. A few facts upou i
i this point will speak more powerfully than
■ volumes of bare assertion or blazoning puffery.
, The consumption of Hostetter's StummUi Bit
ters for the last year amounted to over n half-
I million boules, and from its manifest steady
i increase in times past, it is evident tlint during |
the coming year the consumption will reach ,
near one million bottles. This immense a num nt
: could never have been sold but for the rare
medicinal properties contained in the prcpaia.- :
i tion. and the sanction of the most prominent .
; physicians in those sections of the country
where the article is best known, who not only
recommend the Bitters to their patients, but I
; nreaeiidy at nil times te give testimonial* to its l
j efficacy in all cases of stonmchic derangements j
' mid the diseases resulting therefrom.
This is not a temporary popularity, oblnined i
i by extraordinary efforts in the way of triun- ;
peting the qualities of the Bitters, but a solid
i estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is I
i destined to be as enduring as time itself.
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters have proved '
a Godsend to regions where fever and ngue !
mid various other bilious complaints have
counted their victims by hundreds. To bt
nbie to state confidently that the “Bitters’ 1
nrc a certain cure for the Dyspepsia ami like
diseases, is to the proprietors a source of un
alloyed pleasure. It removes all morbid mutter
from the stomach, purifies the blood, nnd
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system,
giving it that tone and energy indispensable
for the restoration of health, it operates upon
the stomach, liver, mid other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, mid soon restores them
I to a condition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.
I Elderly persons may use the Billers daily ns
j per directions on the bottle, nnd they will find
I in it a stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort
declining years, as it is plensnnt to the palate,
I invigorating to the bowels, excellent as a tonic,
; mid rejuvenating generally. We have the evi
-1 deuce of thousands of nged men mid women
who have experienced the benefit, of using this
preparation while suffering from stomach de
rangements and general debility; ncting tinder
the advice of physicians, they have nbandoned
all deleterious drugs and fairly tested the
merits of this article. A few words to the ■
gentler sex. There nre certain periods when
, their cares are so harassing that nuiny of them
i sink under the trial. The relation of mother
i I mid child is so absorbingly tender, that the
• I mother, especially if she lie young, is apt to
• i forget her own health in her extreme anxiety
| for her infant. Should the period of malernily
i nrrivc during the summer season, the wear of
‘ | body and mind is generally aggravated. Here,
' I then, is a necessity for a stimulant to rcetipe
: i rate the energies of the system, and enable the
I ; mot her to bear up under her exhausting trials
. j ami responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene
, I rally prefer the Bitters to all oilier invigora
' 1 tors' that receive the indorsement of physi- i
’ I cians, because it is agreeable to the taste an
• well as certain Io give a pernianent increase |
’ I of bodily strength.
' All those persons, to whom we linve particu- I
1 Lilly referred above, to wit : sufi'erers from 1
. ■ .fever mid ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, I
, | dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, and
: ' all diseases or derangements of the stomach,
1 : superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary
, occupation, and nursing mothers, will consult
' ; their own physical welfare by giving Io Ilos-
i tetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters a trial.
<'ACTION. —We caution the public against
I using any of the many imitations or counter-
C foils, but nsk for Hohthttuu’s Chi.kbuatkd
i Stomach Bittuhs. and see that each bottle has
the words “Dr. J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters”
I blown on the side of the bottle, and stamped
I on the metallic enp covering the cork, and
: observe that our autograph signature is on the
' . label.

Great Speech of Vice-ProSTKPIIEAJS
Mt Washington, Wilkes, Ga«
Eiithusiantie Hexponne of tint people of Old
Wilke# —The Government Mind and Shall
be Sit dallied —Tiro Thousand Bales of Cot
ion Subscribed on the Spot —Our Trip to
Jfashinpton,
Having learned that \ iee-l’resii.lent Ste
phens was to address the people of Wilkes
county on Saturday last, on the I’roduee Loan,
and wishing to hear the plans ami purposes of
the Government more fully on this subject,
ami lav the same before <>ur readers, we at
tended the meeting, and made a report of the
speech. The Court-House, in which the ad
dress was delivered, was filled to overflowing
—the assembly being graced by the presence
of many ladies.
Hon. Garnett Andrews was called on to
preside, ami Dr. H. G, Robertson, Secretary.
Mr. Stephens then arose amidst lull I ap
plause, ami said :
Mk. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen:
I appear before you to day mainly on busi
ness. The subject is ot uo little importance.
It is of great magnitude. It concerns us all
as much a* any u >in which I ever addressed
you bef«re. Our country is at war—the most
important we ever were engaged in before—
not excepting that of the, revolution which
resulted in the achievement of our indepen
dence. To provide means to carry on the
war, and sustain our country in this exigen
cy, is the object of my appearance here to day.
Our cause must be sustained. Ou its success
every thing that concerns us in life depends.
Time need not. lie taken up iu rehearsing
at length the causes of the war—its origin or
history. Allow me to premise, h iwever, brief 1
ly a few things in relati >u to this contest. In
the first place, it i.s a most unnatural ami ir
rational war on the part <>f our former Nor
thern e. nifeilei-ates. Its success tin their part
would end in an entire overthrow of the prin
cip.es upon which our common independence
was achieved. Those State* at the N >rth
now engaged in this war against u*, occupy
the p isitioE towards us that the British Gov
ernment. did toward* the colonic* in the Re
v Inttonary struggle. They are endeavoring •
to govern us tigain-t our cmi.-ent.
E .glami claimed the right to tax ami gov- I
ern ns on the s ime principle. This right our ,
fathers denied. On the fourth of July, 1776, I
each one of the colonies, through their legal j
representative.*—eavlt State for itself— leclur- i
ed their ii.depemieuce, *and pr<-chii i.ed the ;
g eat truth that ad governments vlerive their '
I n*t powers f om the consent of the governe 1. |
This deelarati n was le t ni ide as a nation, '
but by the representatives of each one ot the I
sovereign and independent States When |
the war closed. E tglan I acknowledged the :
in lependettee of each one of the S.a es sepa- ■
lately, of Massachusetts, of New York, of:
Virginia, of Georgia. :v d al! the other States i
individually. On this same principle the i
t'mdcderate Slii’O* now stami. in tbi* most ■
unnatural war, Massa.-Imsetts, that Was r«-p- ;
resented by the patriot.J dm Hancock i i 1776, I
now ■’< e pi', st- -ar 11 ms the - mie vl-ation ;
that Englund did t> ti* iu the rev.diitio:>. It
is a wai against the whole principles upon
which the revolution was fought. Whtite>er
may be the dangers of the tuture, let every
son of revohitionary sires remember that the
same priociples are now involved. We never
sought to interfere witli their internal affairs.
After the a knowle igment of the imlepen
d -nee <4 each of the S ates separately and
severally by Great Britain, a Uni' ll between
all of them was foi'meti in that compact known
ns the C'oi.stitutton of the United Suites.—
This related to extra territorial or foreign af
fairs, at.d extra Shue affair*.
The regulation of all matters of domestic
ami internal policy within the States respec
tively. was expressly reserved to the States
or to the people State Sovereignty was ne
ver parted with in that Constitution or com
pact of Union. Sovereign p ivveis to a limited
extent were delegated, but sovereignty itself
was still reserved to the people of the States
respectively. We claim the same sovereignty
that our fa:hers did tiie same inalienable
right to self-government which they asserted,
and which the States of the N 'rth joined
them iu pledging their live*, their firtunes,
and sacred ho lor in maintaining. This right
is now denied; hence this coufl ct.
When the people of the Southern States
looked to the future, after the elections last
fall, some thought it best to wait a little, and
see what the result would be—to see wheth
ei the party then successful in the election of
their President, would attempt to carry out
their avowed policy. (Jtheis thought it best
to meet the enemy at the tfires ilmld. The
gallant State of South Carolina took the lead.
It was her right to re-assume the exercise of
all her sovereign powers if she chose to do so,
am! no one had a right to question it. This
right, was secured in the principles establish
ed when her, and our, and the independence
of all the States wa* achieved. Other Slates
s >on followed. We did not resort to arms.
Our separation was effected, not through the
eartritfge box, but through tiie ballot-box.—
The people dec tied this question for theni
selvc . Such amj.-.il spectacle nev r was
w t.iessef. Ai o.ci-vvhelming tn ijoritv of
the people of seven Southern States dec
del that it was best to resume their sover
eignty. To question their right to do so, itt
vo.ves the whole doctrine upon which Amer
ican institutions were founded. This great
fundamental principle which undetlies Amer
ican Constitutional Liberty was denied by
Mr. Lincoln even before he was formally
seated in his p esent position.
We sent Cminnis*ioners lo settle till mat
ters between us and our old confederates up
on the principles of Justice and g iod faith.—
We wished to have no strife—wo wished
peace. We never wished to interfere with
them or their institutions. If they tnought
theirs better than ours, we were willing that
they should enjoy thorn We, were mdy de
termined that they should not interfere witli
ours, or rule over us. We believe our ii.sti
tutions are best for us. They are in accord
ance not only with nature, but the teachings
of Holy Writ, and are most wisely instituted
for the benefit of both white and black. The
statistics ami history of the world show it.—
But all our efforts to maintain peaceable and
amicable relations were vain.
It never was our object to make aggressions
on any State not inclined to come with u*. —
YVc think Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and
Delaware ought to come with us. We think
i it is be*t for them; but it'is u question for
: them to decide.
i It is our interest to be nt, peace with the
j North, ft is nit to our into est th it they
j should overthrow the institutions of their fa
i tliers. Wars are injurious to all people. We
i and they feel it, and will continue to feel it
i more, as long as it lasts. Hence, this war is
unnatural ami suicidal on the part of the
North. They say we begun it; that we first
fired on Fort Sumter. VVe did fire on Sumter,
but it was not until after we had asked them
to vacate it- located, as it was, on our own
BO jl—over which the, resumed sovereignty of
one of our new confederates extended, and
after we hnd been notified that reinforcements
would be forcibly sent to it, and after these
reinforcements were on the way, and almost
jnt the place. The war was virtu illy begun
' - not bv the first gun that was (ire I. but by
the announcement tlint Moultrie and all the
other Forts in our possession should be cap
tured, seized mid held by Mr. Lincoln’s Gov
ernment. This was the beginning of the war.
This was its declaration, and from thi* has
sprung all that lias or may ensun. The ta
king of Sumter was hut the meeting of this
proclamation as it might to have been met.—
The next step was Mr. Line >ln’s proclmmi
tioii of the 15th of April, calling out, 75.000
of the militia, with nil. the shadow of legal or
Constitutional authority, with a view to our
coercion and subjugation—a purpose which
could have been conceived iu nothing short
of the in ist stupendous folly, as well a* the
inosl auicidal recklessness. The < lijeut can
never be attained, while the consequences
will be ruiti'.us to those who undertake it.
It should not be our purpose to detract from
the merits, the char icter. prosperity, or pow
er of the people of the North, or any other
people on earth; but it may be justly said,
that the most of the wealth they boast, has
been acquired from their connections with
the 8 itith. Their wealth is not in the pro
ductions of the r soil. It consists mostly in
their commerce, their shipping* their trade,
their manufactures, their spindles, their
looms, their foundries, their inventions, and
their thoti*atid and one contrivances for sup
plying the wants and the markets of the
South. They Hold to the South annuallv not
less than $250,0 10,000 w. rtli of manufactures
of various kinds, besides the enorm ais profits
accruing to their ship owners from being our
jarrier* ; while they exp »rted to all the world
besides, nit exceeding $40,000,000. What
will become of them ? The party row in
power there have always said the Soudi was
accursed. Their machinery is fitted only to
manufacture supplies suite I to mtr wants.—
They knew our wants and were prepared to
supply them, and were not prepare 1 to sup
ply those of any other people. Mo.-t of what
they made for us wi.l suit no other people.—
This war on their part is a forcible illustra
tion of the old adage of a man “'cutting off
his i-'O*e to spite hi* face.” Hence the remark
that it is a war altogether irrational and alto
gether suicidal on their part. When, how
ever, reason is blinded and passion bears
sway, there is no telling where ape >ple will
be led to.
But there is another remark about this war
which concerns us and all friends of constitu
tional iioer y everywhere. Upon our success
in it, depends constitutional government.—
Nothing less is involve! in tiie issue. The
Unit* d States have been looked to by the
dowii-tro Iden of earth, as the pole star of
hope, because within their limits every free
tn m—every citiz hi stood on an equality.—
The whole fabrick re»ted upon restraints be
ing thrown about rulers No other govern
m nt in the world secured such privilege*.—
The will of a m tn or of a few persons, gov
erns most natiens. Ol all the g •vernments
in the woild, >n this alone, your President,
the highest offi.-er, was bound by Liw the
same as the humblest citizen.
The men who m vie the 0 institution wore
m-istlv Southern m 'll. Li the North, in that
great' work there were few helps and aids.
Dr. Franklin and Alexander Hamilton and a
lew o'her aldo and distinguished men from
th ; North were in the Convention, but they
co itribnte I little’to the master piece of work
manship. Tin'V gave great aid in having it
adopted after it was fashioned in the Conven
tion as it was; but it was mostly the work of
Southern hand* the' pro luce of Southern
S ate*matiship. Hamilton wanted a govern
ment on quite a different, model, and he actu
ally quit the Convention before its lab >rs
closed. He afterwards, it is true, brought
hi* great powers to bear, and d.d all he could
to sus ain it. and to put it into successful op
eratic i: buthe contributed not a stone to the
foil .da ion, the wails or columns of the great
supcrstruc nre. That glori us tepiple o:
Lberty was the w >rk of the han Is "f Soudi
ern men. If it be kept, and its principles
perpetuated, it will be d »ne bv the C mtede
rate States. Reflecting men have long en
tertained the belief that if the Union were
di*s dve 1, the North wo ild g > into anarchy
and desp >ti.*m. It lias been our pride that
out of tiie seventy-two years of tiie existence
of the G ivernment under the Constitution, it
has been for sixty years, under the control of
Southern S alesmen. This has secured what
ever of property and greatne-s —growth and
development has marked the Country’s career
during its past history. The Northern mas
ses generally agreed with Southern statesmen
in their poiiey, and sustained them These
were the democracy of that, section. Mr. Jef
fers m said they were allies. Washington’s
a Iministrutinn lasted eight years. It was
southern, and in the line of Sou'hern policy.
Then came the elder Adams. He was from
Massachusetts. Opposite ideas shaped his
policy. Ac the end of four years, the peo
ple indignantly turned him and his counsel
lors out of power. Then came Jefferson.
Madis hi and Monroe, each eight years— all
southern men. Here we had thirty-two years
of southern administration to four N irthern.
Then came the younger Adams from the
North. He was the great embodiment of
those ideas which now control Lincoln’s ad
ministration. At. the end of four years lie
wa* turned out of power, and Gen. Jackson, a
southern man, came in fir eight years. Then
came Van Baren, a northern man, for four
years. Then Harrison, Tyler and Polk, which
added eight years m >re of so .them control.
Next, Taylor and Fillmore. Fillmore was a
northern man it is true, but his administra
tion was sustained by the South, and so was
Pierce'.*. These may be called Southern :vl
miuistrations; and so was Buchanan’s—thus
making sixty out of the seventy-two years of
the Government’s exissence VJHfer the Consti
tution. All the important measures which
have marked the history of the Government,
which have made it what it is, nr was before
the dismemberment, and made it the admira
tion of the world, were the fruits of the poli
cy of Southern statesmen. The party at the
North now in power have been against the
country in all its leading features of public
policy, which have mark;; 1 its history—espe
cially has it been against all its wars since
the Constitution was formed. Li the war ot
1812, Massachusetts would not send her
troops beyond her borders, though the war
was mainly f. r the protection of the rights of
her seamen. The State opposed the Mexican
war, and her people did not go there to fight
the country’s battles. It is tru<! Caleb Cush
ing got no a regiment and went there, but it
was not comp sed of many native Massachu
setts men. Its ranks were in a great measure
filled up with the chivalrons Irish. This is
the firs' war that has taken place since the
Revolution, that she lias eent many of her
native sons out of the State. It can be ac
c 'Hated f>r only because it is a FANATICAL
War. Every thing in our past history that
belongs to the nation’s glory was the result
of Southern policy and sirpport.
We were all attached lo the old G ivorn
ine.nt, not for the name, not for the hull, but
f >r the spirit, the life an ! s >ul of it, securing
as it did, equal rights to all sections.
We have thrown off the Union, but we
have preserved the Constitii'ion. The revo
lution in this country is really at the North.-
From Constitutional Government, they arc
rapidly advancing to despotism. Southern
men, in the hour of danger and peril, have
rescued the work of their Fathers. They
have taken the Constitution of ’B7, and, in
stead of laying violent hands upon ’.t, they
have made such improvements as time and
expoiience have sliown to be proper. The
changes are not in my, but of them this may
b>' said: Every change made in it is of a
<-.;ms<H'va,:ive >’•'ir i' tnr- :v>t one of a ia.li. - *.
nature in it. They all look to a better secu
rity of life, liberty and property. They all
look to the better security of the right* of the
people against the encroachment.* of power,
or the c irruptions of tueir ruler.-.
Mr. Lincoln says he makes war on us to
protect the public property, and yet under '
him the public property has been destroyed ,
by millions. Immense amount* were burned ■
at Harper's Ferry and at tiie Navy Yard at I
Norfolk. This is tin war t i protect the pro- ;
perty of the G ivernmnit but to coerce and i
sulijugate u*. What law was he eX'-cuiiog j
when he issued his proclamation calling for i
75.000 volunteers? It wa* in open palpable '
violat oa of law that he did it. It was with
out authority of law or the shadow of law.—
No usurper ever entered upon a more uiic iii
stitutiunal career. By proclammon he La* |
increased the army 25,009. What law was I
this in execution of? It was a law of his I
own making, liy proclamation he has in- I
creased the navy 25.000. What law was this :
in execution of? A law of his own making
in palpable violation of the Constitution
which he was sworn to support.
The Constitution was the fmiidation—the
soul and life that we adore 1; that Constitu
tion that our fathers made, and which the
Confederate States have rescued from rhe im
pending destruction of his hands, and now
hold as a shield over you and y 'ur posterity,
gives the power to Congress and not to the
President to raise armies and navies. The
President has no such power, ami a people
who submit to such glaring usurpations may
have a name to be free, but in fact they are ;
nothing but serfs and vassals. A war to exe- j
cute the laws ! By what law does lie issue i
his warrant to arrest freemen and immure '
them in jails and dungeons, without informa- i
tion or prosecution ‘I By what law has he ,
assumed to suspend the writ of habeas corpus? |
By the Constitution of our fathers and by tiie i
Constitii'ion of the Confederate States, Con
gress alone can suspend this great writ of lib
erty, which wa* extorted even from a British
King in behalf of hi* subjects. A war to
execute the laws! The war from the begin
ning has been against law, and in violation of
law—in utter violation of the fundamental
organic law—the Constitution itself; and if
not checked and stopped by the people of the
North, it wilt inevitably end, and at no dis
tant day. in an utter overthrow of every thing
like constitutional liberty. Already the courts
—the expounders of the law have been silen
ced—the decisions of the Judge.* utterly dis
regarded and condemned. Free citizens are
seized, imprisoned a id possibly may be exe
cute'!, without any other hearing except such
a* a m litary satrap may be willing to award.
All this is done nndir the pretense of ex. cu- j
ting the laws, in the fiv-e and teeth of the 1
highest law. which declares that, *'l’llo right |
of the people to be secure in their person*, j
houses, papers and eff.'Cts against unreasona
ble searches and seizu e*, shall not be viola
ted ; ai.d no warrant shall issue but upon
pro! aide cause supported by oath or affirma
tion, and particularly deserming ihe place to
lie search d and the p- r.smis or things to be
seized.” And that other clause which de
clares that, “In all criminal prosecutions the
licensed shall enj >y the right to a speedy and
public trial by an impartial j ry i f the State
and district wherein the ci inn shall have
been comm’tted, wh'eh di-trict shall have
been previously ascertained by law, and to be
informed of the nature and cau.*e of the ac
uitMti n; to be confronted with the witness
against him; to In.ve eompiil.* ry proves* I t
obtaining witt.e-ses in his favor, and to hive
the assistance of counsel f r his defense.’’
Such are iheprovisi ns of the Coiisutntion
lie was sworn to support; but he put* himself j
above the Constitution and ab ve the decisions
of the venerable Taney. He constitutes him
self into-a law maker, issues his edicts, and
then executes them at the p >int of the liayo
net. Such are acts of the man whose prepos
terous purpose, a* now avowed, is to preserve
the former Unio • of the Sra'e* by a subjuga
tion of eleven of them! The fullest success of
his purpoHe would be the completes! failure
of the ol'ject; and yet strange to say, the mul
titude at the North so far from rising up and
vindicating c •nsiitutional principles, give* al- ■
m >st unanimous shouts to these most glaring :
usurpations of power, which foreshadow their j
own early doom. If these things be done in i
the green tree, what will not be done in the i
dry ? Ah ead v the key-note has been given out j
by a leadingjotirnal in New York—the Couri
er & Enquirer. State lines are to be oblitera
ted. State Legislatures abolished and Slate
Courts done away with. The Government is
to become consolidated and Constit uri >nal bar
riers are all to besweptaway. Another paper
—the Tribune, gives out that the Congress to
assemble on the 4th of July—what a m >ckery
to the memory of thatgl >rio'i* day in onr past
history, that su -h a Coiigres; will assemble on
its anniversary-will probably not sic more
than two d iys. Everything is arranged for
them, cur and dried. They arc but to be the
im-truinents ot registering the edicts of the
Cabinet however unconstitutional and mon
strous.
Son* of the Sotuh! ol the land of Mad's m,
of Jefferson, of Washington-of those who knew
what the principles of « -li-governmcut were,
the priceless value of constitutional liberty,
and periled everything in their aeheivement!
Did we cut loose too o>n from these, vour old
confederates? I’tie utmost licentiousness of the
France Jacobin*, in their m ist unbridled fury
and phrensy, did not exhibit greater ex rava
gatice and recklessness in total disregard of
law and order, and everything essential to
g iod government, than these people at the
North have exhibited in this wild, unnatural,
irrational and fanatical crusade.against us
Should they succeed, this whole country. North
as wel. ns South, will pre.-ent just such scenes
us France did during the Reign of Terror. If
constitutional liberty is to be maintained them
let it be repeated, it. must be done by us.
This presents some of the outlines of the
magnitude of the issues invoke I in this con
test. It is not only the preservation of onr soil
from the polluted step of an arrogant inva
ding foe : it is not only the mainrainence of
our separate independence ; but the niain'a n
ance of those principles which have distin
guished the people of the United States above
all other countries tin 1 made them the light
and the hope of the world.
Let us then proceed to the important busi
ness this day to be presented to your consid
eration. The ladies do s ell to be here. Tneir
presence always docs go"d on sne.li occasions.
At this liine everywhere they are found ready
to do their part; but the busmess in hand is
mainly with the planters.
This war is upon t>s-nol of our seeking, but
it lias to bo-m-'t. Means have to be provided.
Large armies are in the field <S: larger still
may be required. The support of armies re
quires money. Our means are ample.' How
best to use and control them most efficiently
for the best advantage t • the Govcrmnrnt
and least disadvantage to rhe people, is the
question—O.i the present basis ot militn
rv operations, $50,000,110'9 will be required for
the present fiscal year. A 1 >ao of
was made some nrrnths ago. This will soon
be exhausted. The immediate wants of the
Treasury can be supplied by the issue of
Treasury notes, if the necessary measures be
adopted to sustain their credit. A tax of
$15,000,000 will be necessary to accmplish
this object, before the proceeds of the pr »po-ed
loan of produce, of which I intend to speak, can
be made available. The rate of tax to raise
Georgia’s part of this $15,000,000, if we. shall
have to resort to that metsure. will be about
twenty four cents on the hundred dollars
worth of property. I his, it i* true wdl be a
'small fax compare I with the i/bpvi: to be
attained, which is nothing less than our secu
rity, salery and political existence. The Sec
retary of the Treasury has been authorized
to issue the notes for pressing exigencies.
The means to sustain their ciedit must be
supplied. These are abundanrly at our bauds
either by taxation to the full amount ol the
G •verimient wants or by some other means
which will accomplish the same object with
more ease to the people. Our resources are
ample.
The proposition which the government j
makeaaud which is this day presented to yon
is to take a loan from the planters and ,far
mers of produce instead of money. The pro- 1
ducts of the soil will answer the purpose of I
Hie Government quite as well us coin. Grain, ,
bacmi and breadstuff* generaly, are necessary (
for the subsistence of the army. These have j
to be bought with coin, if we bal it in Inind ; !
whilecotti n and tobacco can and will at all ,
times command the coin. The proposition, ■
then is that each farmer and planter shall ■
lend to the Govermneiit-not gi .e but lend— i
so much of Lis produce as lie can spare, and I
receive Government buiiii.* for it bearing 8
per cent, interest. Li this part of the Suite
o itton is the main staple. Breadstuff* could
be got more cheaply elsewhere. Now, if a
planter makes 50 bales of cotton an 1 ten will |
answer all the purposes of his own use and :
necessities, he is asked to lend die remaining ;
forty to the Government, and take bonds at 8 ■
per cent interest instead of laying o it. his '
surplus in other kindsof property. If twenty ■
five of this fifty be necessary for his own pres- j
sing necessities, let him lend the other half. !
If forty lie required for bis own wants, the.i '
let li m lend the remaining fifth of his crop.
Wtiatever maybe the expec. e I surplus over i
and above his pressing wants, let it be ves- I
ted in GoVi r imeul bonds at 8 per cent, inter- ■
est instead of remaining idle in their hands .
or put in other kind.* of properly. Tais is
the propositian. It is easily understood. ,
Tiie form of subscription is in these word*: ■
“We, the subscribers, agree to c mtribute i
to the de euse of the Confederate State*, the i
portion of our crop set down to our respee- ■
live names ; the same to be placed in ware-;
house, or in fact .rs hands, and sold on or be- i
fore the first day ol next, and the net j
proceeds of sale we d.rect to be made over I
11 the Trea urer of the Confederate States,’
for bonds f r same nui ;uut, boaring eight ;
per cent, interest.”
E ich one will designate the place and the .
agent to whom the c tton is to be Boot, with
the number of bales, and the time wiih'.n
which it is to be delivered and sold. One word
as to the native of the subscription here a-k
ed. Oi course there cannot be c Ttainry as to
the extent of the yield of the g o vmg crops.
Subscriptions must necess irdy b; m*le sub
ject to the contingencies of seas >is and acci- •
dents. While, theref.irc, no one sh iul 1 sub !
s .tribe a bale more than be reasonably expects i
and honestly intends to delive", yet, s’.uiuld ;
he fail to comply with the full amount of liis j
subscription from I’.ovidential or other good
cause, no legal risk or forfeiture would be in
curred. It is a voluntary offer and engage
ment on the part of die planter. But it will
lie cxpecte i, as a matter of coarse, that the
terms of subscript ons will be sirimly compli
ed wll in go id fait •. When s .Id, the Gov
ernment b uni* for the proceeds Will be de
livered, instead of bank bids a* is usually the
case. Should the planters of the S mth sub
scribe in this way, onlv one-'onrtli of their
cotton crop, it will give the Government the
command of at least one million of b ile.-'.—
Upon all reasonable expectation*, the crop j
will not full short of fair millions <>f bales.— ■
at prn-ent. prices would bring at Last SSO,- |
000,000—the sum required. The importance I
of this arrangement bring entered i. to at this
time, is that the Secretary of the Trea*tiry m ty
raise means on this pledge in anticipation of
the crop—a process familiar to many plan
ters. In the mean time credit of the Treas
ury n tea will not bi depreciate ! when the
mean* are supplied for their early redemptu n.
In this way the war may he waged on the
most gigantic scale, if our enemies so d.tir-;
mine, without material injury to our resour- I
ces, or ever res >rting to any system of high
taxation. If they wage it upon the princi- ;
pie of we iring us out by exhaustion, they I
will certainly fail on that line of policy be i
f ire we shall. However great may have '
been their resourccß, they were derived, as I
stated, mainly in in us. With this great!
source o tiiir supplies being cut off’ by their ■
own suicidal act, whence or from what source ■
is it i equivalent t■ bm ide up? Their opera
tions at present nre. n ion a basis of perhaps
not less than $109,099,000, or it mvy be
$150,000,000 per annum Where is this
i money to come froiu? It is true, it is a
q icstion that concerns them —n it us. It is
a question though, not to be oves looked by us
: in considering the coutingeucies if a proira.t
je l war. M ist of their present m-'iuis was
' derived from their trade with us. T at now
! b.-ing cut off' by their folly, m l ines* and
l wickedness, where is their new stock to come
from when the the present is exhausted?—
The probabilities are, they will resort to a
confiscation of the estates of their merchant
princes -their Astors and others like him.—
This is the usual course with such revolutions.
Such wa* the course of the Jac >bin*, their
great prototypes. Like the army-worm,
when they have destroyed the rich fi- Ids they
now feed upon, they w.ll turn and fee 1 upon
themselves.
Not so with us. No people in the world
ever had such a vast vai'ie y of res mrees.—
While our soil and climate yield aliuuda itly
everything necessary to human subsistence,
our stapl es of cotton, rice, sugar a id tobacco,
which other nations in ist have, jiel i annu d
ly not much under $30J,00.>,009. Vi’e can,
not only make enough breadstuff-, in our own
limits to sustain our own people, but sell to
others, products to this amount. With a
sm.ill portion of this income fr m abroad, we
can, if need be, sustain an army of one hen
dre I thousand in the field for year* to c me.
All that is wanted is union, co- .pcration, an I
patriotic concert between the Government :
and the people. If any hesitate in co-opera- ■
ting in this arrangement from any apprebo i- :
sions as to the security of their investment in ■
these b mds. let such consider, an I be assured
of this: let them remember and mark it: 1; ;
wo succeed in the war; if we drive buck the
invaders; if we achieve and establish our in
dependence, they will have the best security
in the whole world. The entire resources of
the Confederate States—their whole prop
erty and wealth will be pledged, not only to
the punctual payment of interest, but the ul
timate redemption of the bonds, making the
investment therefore at 8 per cent interest,
the best public investment in the world.
Nor let any one timidly doubt of success.
The people of the South can never be cun
querel. Our enemies rely upon their num
bers—we rely upou the valor of freemen,
i battling for country, for home, an 1 evert
-1 thing dear as well as sacred. Rut. if we do
not succeed—should the enemy prevail—
should we become subjugated, then nut • n!y
will your cotton, but your land and every
! thing else you own, be useless and worthless
i to you.
To the overtimid and caution*, another re
flection may bo appropriate. Tnis war must
and will be sustained, whether they come to
its aid in this way or not. Our army in the
i field, periling everything in defense of the
| country, of your homes and your firesides,
l must and will be cl itheJ and fed and sup
! plied with all the necessary munitions of war.
