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. The States and Territories.

States now 37 To bo made lrorn Teiritories named 14 Total 61 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."
