Ex-Gov. Brown’* Speech.
We lay befote our readers the speech
of Ex Gor. Brown, delivered at a meet
ing of the citizens ol Atlanta, on Monday
night. The Era, from which the letter
is copied, says :
We lay the speech before the public
without comment, with the distinct un,
derstanding that all must read, judge,
and act for themselves. Mighty events
are belore us, and lor the present we
are not disposed to venture ndvice upon
matters we know little or nothing about.
We live in a Nkw Era, and when we
get the hang of the ropes wo will speak,
but not till then. “We do not propose
to be wise over much, and die before
our time.” Wisdom strengtheneth the
wise mau more than ten mighty men
which are in the city.
I* West Virginia a State !
This is an interesting question, cover
ing as it does, the constitutional right
of that portion of the Old Dominion to
secede and organize a State Government
without the consent of the Virginia
Legislature. We are so fast losing sight
of the Constitution, that we like to have
it brought to view once in a while, as a
reminder of what we ouce were, and
what we might yet be, it that glorious
instrument still prevailed. President
Johnson has reviewed it in several of
bis Messages, and the Supreme Court
has aired it once or twice lately, and it
has done no other good, than to gratify
all true patriots, and to convince the
world that reverence tor that great
charter of American Liberty still exists,
though even in a petty degree in our
country. It will come before the Su
preme Court again in May next, when
the following case will be tried : “No
11. The Commonwealth of Virginia,
complaint against the Slate of West
Virgiuia. The New York Tribune
says : “This is the case to determine
the jurisdiction of the two States in
respect to certain counties. The demur
rer to the bill is set for argument on the
first Monday in May next.”
This is, as we have said, an interest
ing question ; and it is also an impor
tant one ; and from our standpoint we
cannot see how the Supreme Court can
decide it any other way than in favor of
the plaintiff. But these are queer times,
and queer Hwmres have taken place,
and queer decisions need surprise no
one.
A New American Kingdom.
A bill is before the British Parliament
for the confederation ot the British
Provinces, to the north of the United
States, under the name nnd style of
“the Kingdom of Canada.” This new
government is to be similar to that of
the mother country—the supreme au
thority to be exercised by the Sovereign,
through the representative of the Crown,
and there is to be a Senate, correspond'
ing to the House of Lords, and a Popu
lar Chamber, corresponding to the House
of Commons. The Northern papers are
alarmed at this movement, and see in it
only an effort to crush out Republican
ism on this continent. Poor easy souls!
Can’t thev see that that blessed form ot
gover. mnt has been already crushed
out; and that the people of Canada
ought to be thankful that they are under
so benign and thoughtful a government
as that of old England ? But it is said
that the people of Canada do not want
this new Kingdom ; and that it is only
the politicians who favor it; and, there
fore, the Radical journals are distressed.
Surely, the people ought to be consulted.
What right has the British Government
to force a measure like this upon the
people of Canada? Os coarse, none.
That is only done in a monarchy.
Happily for us, we have no monarchy.
We have a Republic, where nothing is
forced upon the people that does not
suit them. “Republicanism still enjoys
a vigorous life in America 1” Os course
it does; but then we must needs be
told of it if we kuow it. It does not
speak for itself. If, therefore, the
people of Canada are “wise in their
generation," they will accept the mon
archy tendered them, or continue under
their present form of government, rather
than to adopt the Republican system,
or annex their Provinces to the Uuitod
States. Unfortunately, though, people
scarcely ever know what is good for
them, and are always ripe for a change
of some kind—taking the chances for
good or evil afterward. Those of
Cauada and Ireland have a good Gov
ernment. Let them give up ideas of
revolution, annexation, and political
changes, and stay as they are. They
will find it far more to their in
terest than any of the proposed changes.
—There is profound wisdom in the
saying of an English farmer, that be fed
bis land before it vras hungry, raised it
before it was weary, and weeded it bea
fore it was foul. Seldom has so much
agricultural knowledge been condct.B.d
in a single sentence.
Th* Connecticut Election.
The Connecticut election is quite an
exciting topic of dimseaiok at the North
just now. Party number* ire very cloae
in that Btate j and both the Democrats
end Radicals are striving hard to get
possession of it. In one of the Districts
there are two Barnuroa running for Con
great one a Democrat aiid agentloman,
the other a Radical and a showman of
the Artemis Ward “Moral Wax Worx
and Wild Beetle' 1 hind. Both sides are
hopeful, but a* the election take* place
on “All Fools’ Day,” one side or the
other will be most severely “fooled."
Speech of G. Blaine,
of Maine, on hi* Motion to Re
peal the Tax on Cotton, in the
House of Representatives, Feb
-2 2d, 1867.
I move to amend the bill by inserting
after line sixty two the words “that
from and after the Ist day ot Septem
ber, 1867, no tax shall be collected on
Cotton grown within the United States.”
Mr. Chairman, from the temper which
has already been evinced by the House
on this question, I do not know whether
there is the slightest hope that this
amendment will be adopted; bnt I
believe, with the old covenanters of
Scotland, that it is sometimes valuable
to bear testimony against a wrong
which we are unable to resist. I think
the tax on raw Cotton is altogether the
mast extraordinary that was ever laid
by an intelligent Government. Six
years ago, when the war began, we bad
a monopoly ot this article in the mar
kets of the world. The course and
events of the war robbed us of that
monopoly.
The system of labor on which the
Cotton culture rested was utterly de
stroyed, destroyed as a necessity ot' war
ned tor the permanent welfare of the
nation, as well as to vindicate the right
ot every man to personal freedom. Nor
was this all. The war in its ravages
consumed the horses, the mules, and
the tanning implements of the South,
laying waste the plantations and using
up the accumulated wealth and the re
served capital of the South. Owing to
this state of circumstances in our own
country, we fiud that Brazil, Central
America, the West Indies, Egypt, Aus
tralia, and the East Indies were greatly
stimulated and encouraged to engage in
ihe cultivation of Cotton, and hence,
during the five years in which the busi
ness was practically suspended in the
United States, every other country in
the world, where the climate and soil
are suitable, engaged in the effort with
great zeal and enterprise. And they
have succeeded in a remarkable degreo,
despite the assertion to the contrary,
and are now presenting a formidable
competition with us in jpreign markets.
We now desire to regain our ascen
dency, and the first step which Congress
takes is to impose a heavy tax ol fifteen
dollars on each and every bale of Cotton
before it can be removed from the plan
tation or district in which it is raised.
It seems to me that absurdity cannot go
further; that if we had specially de
signed to lay a great obstacle iu the
way of our ever reviving the Cotton
business in this country we could not
have invented a more certain and effi
cient mode than this tax presents.
Many gentlemen seem to imagine
that the business of cotton growing' is
enormously profitable, and can therefore
pay any amount of tax. Now, sir, Ido
not hesitate to say that no busiuess of
equal magnitude in the whole country Was
attended with such unsatisfactory results
as was cotton growiug in 1866. I hold
iu my hand some very valuable and
reliable statistics on this subject, and I
wish I had time to read them to the
House; but some brief extracts must
suffice. In Alabama, on sixteen plan
tations, the total cost of the year, allow
ing a very moderate rental tor the land,
was over $24*2,000, while the total pro
duct was only, $137,000, showing a nett
loss of siuo,uoo. Twenty-tour planta
tions in Arkansas, Tennessee, Missis-
sippi and Georgia, show a total loss of
$120,000. The season was. I admit,
extraordinarily unpropitious, and the
misfortune is that this fact operates to
discourage the cotton culture to such a
degree that we ought to make some
special effort to revive and stimulate it;
aud we could do nothing so effective in
this direction as to remove the tax. I
have no doubt that if Congress were to
repeal this tax to day, thousands of acres
would at once be planted in cotton that
will otherwise lie idle throughout the
present year.
We hear a great deal of talk in this
Hsll, Mr. Chairman, about the resump
tion of specie payment. Theorizing on
this subject may be entertaining if not
instructive, but practical men see that
we shall not get on to a specie basis
until we expect something else than
gold eagles and five twenty bonds to
pay our balances in Europe. Our hope
of balance of trade iu our favor rests on
the increase of our exports and the only
way we can effectively increase our
exports is to encourage the growth of
Cotton. Put the Cotton region in a
position to produce a crop of five mil
lion bales—and with proper legislation
they will do that in 1869—and 1 war
rant you that we shall be on a specie
basis at once, without further effort and,
indeed, without any one knowing it
until we have actually realized it. Two
hundred and fifty millions in gold to our
credit annually in Liverpool will force us
to the Bpecie basis, even if we did not
desire to reach it.
One peculiar hardship in this Cotton
Tax is that it places the Cotton grower,
white and black, under the control ot
the money lender. When the crop is
ready for market, it cannot be re
moved until the tax is paid, and the
planter having exhausted his means in
producing his crop, is forced to go to
the usurer, and he is thus inevitably
oppressed to a cruel extent. One gen
tleman who had to raise $3,000 to pay
the tax ou his crop, told me that he had
paid forty per cent, for the money on a
loan for ouly a few weeks. I submit
that a law which thus places labor in
the hands and under the power ot
capital is faulty and vicious in the ex
treme.
If wc desire, Mr. Chairman, to elevate
the material condition of the frcedinan
—and that is the direct road to his
moral and intellectual elevation—we
must open to him profitable avenues o.
industry. The lute of the negro and
the Colton plant in this country seem to
he indissolubly connected, and just in
the degree that we retard the Cotton
culture we retard the progress and the
profit of negro labor, in urging the
repeal of the Cotton Tax, tlierelure, I
feel that I am most effectively pleading
the cause of the emancipated negroes of
the Southern States.
Tbe idea that we ore punishing the
South by this tax (which some gentle
men advance) is utterly delusive, if it
were not indeed unworthy. The cotton
-tax is not an injury to the South mere
ly, but to the whole country, and quite
as great an injury to the manufacturing
and commercial interest as it is to the
agricultural. Resentment is always an
unaafe baaia for legislation, and espe
cially unsafe when applied to buainesa
and inancial questions. Let us throw
such feelings aside, and look at the
question in its tras light. Lat us re
member that a heavy export es cotton
with cheap cotton at home are among
the most desirable objects for the whole
country that cru possibly be attained.
Let us remember that the tax of fifteen
dollars per bale is not merely an oppres
sion and a hindrance to sottou growing
iu the United States, but that it is a
bounty and a stimulus to cotton growing
in Egypt, in India, and everywhere else
that the plant can lie successfully culti
vated. We may, I know, get several
millions per annum from this tax, but
every dollar derived from this source is
a loss of five dollars in its adverse effects
on other business interests of the coun
try. It is a tax in short, Mr. Chairman,
which we cannot afford to collect, and
which in my judgement should be re
mitted at once.

Immigration.— A Texas paper asserts
that 250,000 immigrants from all parts
have settled in that State since the close
of the war. It is gratifying to know
abo that some of the immigration so
cieties in New York are turning their
attention to the Southern States. One
ot them, in a late report, presents the
result of their investigations, in relation
to the advantages of this section as a
place of settlement. These have been
condensed in the following statements:
“l. The majority ot the people ot
nearly all the Southern States favor im
migration, and prefer, in general, the
Germans.
“2. Measures for the encouragement
of immigration have been adopted in
some ot the States, and are under con
sideration iu others.
“3. The laws of all the Southern
States afford the same protection to the
immigrant as to all other white inhabit
ant.
“4. Field laborers are sought utter
most, but mechani"*, arlizans, and all
other trades can fiud profitable employ
ment, particularly in the larger cities.
••5. Land in any desired quantity can
be bought or leased at cheap rates, or
can be worked advantageously on shares.
“6. Employers iu general are willing
to pay adequate wages, to furnish board
to their hands, and provide them with
such quarters as they possess.
‘‘7. The South offers to the settler the
following advantages : Fertility of soii.
variety of climate, mineral wealth, prox
imity and access to good m trkeis, water
power, and other facilities for manufac
turing, which in many cases surpass
those in the Northern and Western
States; and, lastly, the great variety of
products, the chief of which, cotton,
sugar, tobacco, and rice, are of high
value, and yield a larger profit to the
producer than any other agricultural
product."
