COLUMBUS :
Thursday Morning 1 . Oct. 12, 1865.
Ijipurt limy un Houthcru Products.
Tho article headed “ I'll® (lovcrn-
inpnt’s Financial Policy," wliioli we copy
to-day, was cut by us from the Macon
Telegraph, but na it does not appear to
be an editorial of that paper, we do not
know to what journal to give it credit.
The material fuct to which we wish to
.call attention is the announcement by a
quasi-government agent in EuropO that
it is tho intention to impose a heavy ex
port duty on cotton, tobacco, and other
Southern agricultural products. This is
not at all surprising to us—indeed we
bare anticipated it ever sinoe the close
of the war. Nor do we allude to it just
now in any captious spirit. It is per
haps the right acquired, perforce, of tho
victors to impose unequal taxation on
the vanquished. At any rate, right or
wrong, the dominant party in Congress
will hardly neglect to avail themselves
of an opportunity at once to tax the
South mid bestow a bounty on Northern
manufacturers. This will bo the effect
of an export duty on cotton. To tho ex
tent of tho tax will he thoadditional dis
crimination of the revenue laws in fuvor
of home inunufartiirGB of cotton goods.
Wlmt is the remedy ? 'We fear that
there is none It ft to us, except the manu
facture of cotton at the South, and tho
raising of the raw material only as a
secondary object. Wo mean by this
that the Southern planter should, to the
extent allowed by the climate and naturo
of the soil, make it a primary object to
raise everything needed for consumption
at the South, and bestow the surplus of
his labor to the production of cotton.—
This idea wo have endeavored to set
forth in previous articles, and tho pros
pect of a heavy oxpoit tax on cotton
makes its policy the more apparent.—
There is much reason to apprehend that
too great an effort will ho made to raiso
a largo cotton crop next year. The pre
vailing high [nice of tho article, as well
as the great demand for ready cash at
tho South, will l*e a great stimulus to
this effort. In the present unreliable
condition of negro labor, the raising of
col tun will he a precarious business, and
the danger is that many planters will
find that they have lint taken into tho
calculation all tin 1 difficulties under the
new system. Moreover, a big price ob
tained for cotton will, if they neglect
flic food crops, bo counterbalanced by
the enhanced prices of every articlo
which they nm.-t buy for home consump
tion. We trust that the tax, when im
posed m xt winter, will ‘act as a brake
upon tin contemplated heavy planting
of cotton.
As we have heretofore said, the pro
tective policy of the Federal (Jovorn-
meiit may now la* regarded as ostill)
lished and permanent. The crippling of
the South as a power in tho Union de
termines that fact. It is now our true
policy to avail ourselves of that protec
tion. This can only he done by estab
lishing among us a variety of manufac
turing establishments, and especially
cotton factories. We have still almost a
monopoly iu the production of a raw ma
terial that all the world must have for
consumption—that keeps moving the
spindles and looms of foreign and North
ern factories that employ many millions
of people—that affords 'employment to
all these millions who otherwise would
he destitute or n charge upon tin* com
munities iu which they live. ’ We have
now amongst us many tnousnnds—may
we not almost say millions?—of people,
made dependent by the war, and for
whom some employment must be found.
■Whore can they obtain it, except in the
light work of cotton factories and other
manufacturing establishments ? We
tiust that the attention of our people
will he turned iu time to the necessity of
establishing such branches of industry
at home without delay; and we uic not
without hope that the proposed export
tax on cotton will have the effect of more
speedily arousing them to the necessity
of such action. Let us adhere to cot
ton us ouv grout staple, hut let us make
it uvnilablo to the largest possible extent
to the promotion of the thrift and wealth,
of tho South, by deriving the profit from
all its processes, from tho culture of tho
plant 1' the weaving of the fabric of
commerce.

According to the New York JYibunc,
“the President informed Dean Hioh-

A Contradiction.
Special to the Cinciunnti Gazette.!
St. Lot’ll October 5.—Tho Wcatliclio
Po»l, ibo Radical Lonmin organ of this
city, is authorized to announce that Presi
dent Johnson did not say to Governor
Fletcher, of Missouri, in n recent conver
sation, ks Las been alleged, “Ttalt is a
white man's country, and while 1 tun
President it shall bu a white man’s Gov
ernment.” The report is incorrect, and it
was not Gov, Flelehor who authorized
. the papers to publish it. As far as Gov,
FicU her remembers, President Johnson
used about the following words, “l am in
lavor of tho white man,” or, “1 belong
to the white mini’s party.”
Tho President is said to havo promised
Governor lb amlcUo that Kentucky should
at once ho relieved from martial law, and
hib proclamation to that eflact is ex pooled
within a day or two.
The Federal Government and the
States.
From tbo National Inteillfenoer.
Much in preforenco to any remarks of
our own, woSubjoin the following extract
from an able and oxhauntivc speech on
the subject of a conflict of power between
the Federal Government and tbo btul.es,
which was delivered by Andrew Johnson,
May 1st, 1865. Tbo country will at once
perceive the remarkable consistency of
view6, as advanced by tbo President then
and now, in regard to wboro rests the
right to determine electoral qualifications.
The speech is somewhat carelessly diges
ted and reported, but in substance it i-
intact, and present, a conclusive and most
timely juridical argument:
KXTItAC’T FROM A BPKKCII MA1IK IIY
ANDREW JOUNKON.
Governor Johnson snid that tho next
proposition assumed by this new order, by
a change or modification of tho naturali
zation laws, whs to purify or protect tho
ballot box. They assume, if ho (Governor
Johnson) understood thorn correctly, that
tho Federal Govorninent can prevent the
States from admitting persons to the bal
lot box, if they havo not been naturalized
under u law of the United State*, lie
looked upon this ns ono of the most dan
gerous assumptions of power on tboimrt
of tho Foderal Government, and which
would, if carried out and reduced to prac
tice, hubvert every vestige of sovereignty
which now remains with tho Stales. But,
for the purpose of making himself dis
tinctly understood, ho would read from
tho principal organ, published in Wuah-i
ington City, whut has boon laid down as |
one of tho fundamental principles of the
ordor—
“Fifth. We shall maintain tho (lortftac
that no ono of tho States of this Union
has tbo right to admit to tbo enjoyment ol
free sutlrago any porson of foreign birth
who has not first Loon made a citizen of
the U titled States according to the 'uniform
rulo of naturalization 1 prescribed by Con
gress under tho provisions of tho Consti
tution.”
Tho exerciso of this power on tho part
of tho Federal Government he understood
to bo claimed by tho order everywhere,
llo contended that Congress could exer
cise no such power in roforonco to the
voters within tho limits of any State;
that tbo qualification of electors was n
subject peculiar to the States, and over
which Congress had and could exorcise
no control whatever. Cqngross could not
oven proscribe tho qualification of voters
for members of Congress, for it was com
pelled to adopt tho qualification fixed by
the States. Tho Constitution ilsolf was
express upon this point; tho socond sec
tion of tho first articlo is in tho following
words—
“Tho Ilouso of KepresenlativoH shall
bo composed of mom hors chosen every
second year by tho people of the sovoral
.Slates, and tho electors (or voters) in each
State shall havo tho qualifications requisite
for electors (or voters) of the most mi mors
is branch of tho Stato Legislature.”
From this section wo porceivo that
Congress selects tho voter qualified by tho
Stato to vote for the most numerous branch
of tho State Legislature, to voto for mem
bers of Congress. It is, then, the State
that determines end fixes tho character
and qualification of tho voters for mem
bers Of Congress, and not the Federal
Government, If there havo been abuses
of the ballot box by corruption or by tho
forco of mobs in any State of this Union,
the remedy is with tlio Slate, and not with
Congross in tho passago of naturalization
laws, llo would asbuiue, and that, too,
without the foar of successful contradic
tion, that tho Federal Government may
pass a luw naturalizing foreigners in one
month, and the Stato could legitimately
and constitutionally prohibit thorn from
evor voting Inlhe State; and, on the con
trary, if the Fedoral Government pa:
lillon. they Imve ihTremcdy in their own I fie, tut night. Lose *800,000, mostly In
hand.", and know bettor how to correct tho |surod
complained of than by any other
u law preventing foreigners from becom
ing citizens of tho United Slates until they
lmvo hocn hero twonty-ono yoars, the
States cun and have the power to admit
Ilium to the bullet box, at such time ns
they limy prescribe, without any regard
to llm art of Congress on lliu subject of
naturalization, nnd to tho onjoymont of
all the privileges ef tho citizens under the
onstilutl
State constitution.
Ho said that it would now bo poreeivod it correct,
that this is a question that holongs exclu
sively to tho States, and is not national in
its character. Ho contended that Congress
could not tako charge or control of thin
question, undor oitlior provision of the
Constitution relied upon liy this new or
der. Tlmt provision of tho Constitution
which confers tho power upon tho Federal
Government to regulate uomiuorco among
tlie several States, Ac., or tho provision
which confors tho power to lay duties and
impests, does not confer the jurisdiction
of this quoslion upon tho Fudoral Govern
ment, but loaves it where it was before tho
formation of tho Constitution, with tho
States-, and to sustain this position, hu
would call to his aid tho highest nnd most
unquestionable authority that could bo
prnsonted upon tho quostion. Ho then
road an extract from tho opinion ol Chief
Justice Tanev, in tho case of Smith vs.
Tumor, 7th Howard, 447, which is as fol
lows :
"I think it may ho safely affirmed that,
both in Kuglund and thin country, the
words imports'and importation, in stat
utes, in stntisticaHablos, inotficial roperls,
and in public dubnlos, havo uniformly
boon appliod to urticlos of proporly, and
nevor to passengers voluntarily coming to
tho couutry in shi|is. Tho argument,
howovor, that passengers are imports, is
in my judgment most ovidontly without
any reasonable foundation."
It will ho soon that tho opinion of Cliiof
Justice Taney oxcludos passengers, vol
untarily coming to this country in ships,
from tho operation of both tho provisions
of tho Constitution referred to,
Justice Woodbury uses tho following
Inngiiiigo:
“If Congress, without a co ordinate or
concurrent powor in tho Slutos, can pro
hibit other persons as well as slaves from
coming into tho titntos, tltoy can of courso
allow it, and honco can l.orniit nnd do-
mand the admission ot slaves as wall as
any kind of froo persons, convicts or pau
pers, into any Stale, and enforce this de
mand by tho overwhelming powor of tho
Uniun, however opposed to tho wishes of
tho pootdo of a particular Stato. In view
of an inforonco like this it lias, thorofore,
boon said that undor this section Cougress
cannot admit persona whom a Stale pleases „
to exclude.’’—9th Wheaton, ii.il), Olh How- the same month
ard, 542.
llo also road tho following oxlract from
Chief Justice Tiinoy, in tbo case of Smith
vs. Turner, 7th Howard, 4ti5:
"The first inquiry i», whether, undor
tho Constitution, tho Federal Government
has the powor to compel the several States
U receive, and sutler to remain in associa
tion with its cilizons, o very person or class
of persons whom it maybe tho pleasure
or policy of tbo United States to admit.
If the people of tbo Status of Ibis Union
reserved to themselves tho powor of ex
pelling from their borders any people or
class of persons whom it might deem dan
gerous to its peace, or likoly to produce
moral or physical ovil among its citizens,
then any treaty or law ol Congress in
vading this right, and authorizing tho in
troduction of any porson or description of
poisons against tho consent of the States,
would bo usurpation of power which tiiis
Court could ncithor recognizo or enforce,”
Governor Johnson then further recited
from Justice Woodbury.
“It is a mistaken view to say tliat tho
power of a State to oxclude slaves or free
blacks,-or convicts, or paupers, or.to make
pecuniary terms fur their admission, may
Lie not conilicting with coinmorco, while
tho tame power, if applied to alien passen
gers coming in vessols, docs conflict. Aud
if Mississippi and Ohio can rightfully iui«
pose prohibitions, taxes, or any torins to
such coming by land or by water from
other Slatos, so may Massachusetts and
New York of those coming from foreign
State or the Federal Government.
Tennessee has no authority directly as a
Stale, nor Indirectly through the National
Government, to interfere with tho inter
nal regulations of New York, or any eth
er State of the confederacy ; nor has Now
York or any other Stute the right to inter
fere with tho domestic or internal rela
tions of Tennrs-eo. Tennessee has the
right, us wo have already shown, in the
event tlmt any population, foreign or na«
live shall lie thrown within her borders,
and are inimical to her institutions, to yen
jeet and eject them beyond-her sovereign
limits. This is a powor tlmt is now in
practical operation under a luw now upon
our statute book, which law oxcludos freo
persons of color, under a heavy penalty,
from coming within the limits ol the .State;
and tho lav/ can and will ho so extended,
if it should ever become necessary to do
so, so us to embrace criminals and pau
pers, and all other persons who are distur
bers of tiie peaco and unfriendly to the
well-being of tho State.
Jt must now bo evident ’o all that this
question is not a national one, and thu
power is one that should not be exercised
by the Federal Government, hut by tho
Sinti's, as circumstances aud necessity may
require.

Rocont advice* from Kuropo bring in*
formation in reference to a large meeting
of German holders of American bonds,
which had boon hold at Frankfort on-tho-
Main, nt tho instance of Mr. Lanier, a
Now York bankor. According to Mr.
Lanior’* statement, his action calling tlio
mooting was in accordance with a request
of Secretary McCulloch—not because our
Government was in ncod of more inonoy,
but simply to give tiie foreign holders of
its bonds somo idea of its proposed finan
cial policy. Mr. Lanier made the impor*
tant statement that Congress was expect
ed, nt the coining session, to nuiborizo an
export duty on cotton, tobacco, and other
Southorn staples from which an addition
al revenue of sixty millions would bo ob
tained. TheUornmn bond-holders seem
to have received this announcement un
favorably, from the belief that export du
ties are injurious. They claimed that in
Europe experience lmd provodthat no ex
port duties, and just us little import duties
as possible, wero most advantageous to a
country. Mr. Lanier also stated that tho
Secretary of thd Treasury would, us soon
as possiblo, curtail the present volume of
currency nnd resume specio paymonts.
This will bo regarded by financiers us
information of tbo greatest importance.—
Tho policy of establishing export duties
on any portion of tho products of any
section of tlio country, North or South,
will not, we imugmo, over bo adopted as
a permanent regulation. Americuns have
always held, as tho shrewd Germans now
hold, “that export duties are injurious,”
and no Congress, composed of members
from all tlm Mates, will accede to the
principle. “No export duties, and just
as little import duties as possible,” will
continue the basis of the tariff regulations
of the country.
The announcement that specio pay
ments will soon be resumed will do more
to increase confidence in the ability of the
public Troasury than anything which has
yet emanated from tho Government finan
cial agents. Regarding the statements
made by Mr. Lanior as being made “by
authefrity,” the creditors of tho Govern
ment will hail it with plonsuro.
Tuk Richmond Wiiio andtiik I’rks-
idknt.—The Richmond Whig of the 27th
ult. says: “The conciliatory policy of
President Johnson, especially tho admi
rable temper and spirit of his recent man-,
ly and patriotic speech to tho Southern
delegation, has won him thousands of nevy
friends, and made him full master of the
political situation. Within a very few
days past, thoro has been a markou and
decided change for tho bottor in the sonti-
incnt and feeling of the Southorn people.
Thoro is an earnest and sincere disposition
among thom all to rally around and up
hold tho administration of a man who has
lately evinced so inflexible a purpose to
accord to them equal and impartial justice.
Nor is it loss evident that tho groat mass of
tho reflecting and patriotic citizens of tho
South are alike determined to support the
President and his wiie,statesnuu-liko and
generous policy of reconstruction. Meet
ings are being hold throughout tho State
of Virginia, pledging support to President
Johnson’s reconstruction policy, and ex
pressing an earnest wish for tho full es
tablishment of tho Constitutional authori
ty of tho United States Government.
Gov. Morton mkdo a speech at Rich
mond, Indiana, on Thursday, in which
lie d if cussed tlio subjoct of negro suffrage
and defended the reconstruction policy of
President Johnson, Insisting that he is
but carrying out the policy of Mr. Lin
coln. Gov, Morton is not opposod to ue-
gro »oflr»Re, but thinks the pl.n of *t ono.

zen*hip upon the masses of negroes in the
South a* impolitic ami ullcndu-4 by too

^LAVKRY <*i’ involuntary servitude is prac-
0 tic-ally ubtdifhcd in (leorgiu. Tho Procla
mation* of tho President ol the United States
having given freedom to every slave, and tho
oath o| amm.dynnd tho conditions of pardon
forbid any attempt ut it* revival in any form or
condition.
The great mass of tho Agricultural Popula-
ion of tho Slate has been released Iroui their
bligution t » cultivate the soil, except hy their
own volition, nnd it must be apparent to tho
judicious observer, however much to ho regrot-
1, that the voluntary labor ot the newly frcod
population will i,..t fur the present, at least,
supply the dofieien.-y ot labor.
The withdrawal t noariy three hundred
thousand able b< i I pet >oa to a greater, or
les* extent from their u»iuiI vocotions ha*
created a v*.» 1 whn li must be tilled or tbo lands
01 the Mute will remain untilled, her great re
sources undeveloped and her future prosperity
sacrificed.
The remedy, and the only remedy for this
condition of nttuiis consists in the immigration
ot a hardy and industrious white population, to
supply the places of those who cannot ho com
pelled to work and whore dispositions do not
incline them to greater labor than is actually
uecessnrv to support life.
To such immigrants, no Stat* offers greater
inducement* than tho Mate of Uoorgia. Ex
tending from the Atlantic Ocean to tho Blue
Ridge, it embraces every variety of soil and
cliuinto. The Savannahs of the coast, the roll
ing country ol the interior, and tho mountains
Wf the northern part of the Stato afford oppor
tunities lbr tt )(! cultivation of almost every pro
duct ol tropical <>r temperate latitudes.
Tho grape is grown with great succos* in many
part* ot tho Stale and its cultivation ha* only
been limited by tho want of persons skilled in
tho knowlcoge ol the vine and of tho mode of
preparing its yield. The Stato i* also rich in
gold and other minerals, and nothing but ener
gy nnd tho application ot propor machinery is
wanting to tho development of these hidden
treasure*.
The racing of .-beep of Hie finest breeds has
been carried on with success, and the vast ran
ges ol uncultivated land uff rA excellent pas
tures for cattle and all kinds of stock—rico,
cotton tobaoco, corn, wheat, rye, oats, sugar
cane, the grape and all species ol fruits find
their appropriate soil and climate within our
extended limits.
Tho numerous rivers and smaller streams tak
ing their rise in tho mountuins and running
through the State into the Atlantic and tho
Hull'in their gradual descent furnish water
power unlading in any season and capable of
putting into operation any kind of machinery.
The area ot tho stute contains upwards of
thirty millions of acres, of which not inorq than
one third has been cultivated and the virgin
forest of the wild lands afford an incxhaustiblo
supply of lumber which formed a heavy item
ot the exports of Georgia prior to our lute dif
ficulties. These lumls, which may be bought at
comparatively low rules, will give to tho new
settlor a homestead on which he may erect his
root tree and settle lor lifo an inhabitant nnd in
time a citizen of tho republic.
In view of tho foregoing facts the undersigned
propose to organize a Company to bo cnllod the
“Georgia Lund and Emigration Company,” the
principal ofllco to be located in Savannah, with
the intention of applying for a charter at tho
next gossion of tho Lcgiriaturo : the capital of
said Company to be five hundrod thousand dol
lar*. in twenty thousand shares of twenty-five
dollars each: said Company to be organized by
tho choice of a President and Directors wbon
all the shares shall havo boon subscribed.
The object of the Company is to iuduco and
afford aid to the immigration into the State of
Go .rgia of hrniest, sober and reliable persons
with their families, to become purchasers of and
