.lOIlN II. MARTIN • Bdllor. 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. Tin; PUKbilU Nt and 111* POLITICS. According to the New York JYibunc, “the President informed Dean Hioh- motid that he should in no wise interfere with New York politics: that he consid ered himself pledged to k uo party, and that only those who approve of his proa» cut policy could he regarded as his friends, lie further stated that the poll ey of reegustruction which he is now pursuing is a not an experiment, hut the settled course which he has determined to curry out, without reference to the wishes of any party** 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. conlerriUK all tho political rights of citi- zen*hip upon the masses of negroes in the South a* impolitic ami ullcndu-4 by too great difficulties.

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.
