west should fail, or be Insufficient, and prices advance
considerably above the present high standard, even
supposing tiie amount of cotton expected^ is made, if
the planters cannot buy provisions, or are obliged to
pay an immonse price for them, where will be the
profits ? Last year all the labor that was available in
Georgia and Florida was employed In growing com
and wheat, and yet it is an admitted fact that the sup
ply of breadstuffs in the country now is insufficient,
and that this is one of the causes of the present high
prices of grain. Theaupply of labor is now material
ly reduced below what it was last year, both tn quan
tity and quality, and if it be almost ".exclusively em
ployed in the production of cotton, as is the ease here
and in Southwestern Georgia, and it may be through
out the South generally, to the neglect of breadstuffs,
the planters may depend on it that when driven to a
northern market to buy all they want, and thrown on
the tender mercies of the railroad companies to bring
them what they buy, they will find that tho grla*"
profits of their cotton, if they realize them, will pass
out of their pockets into those of “our friends of the
great northwest,” and into the insatiate means of the
railroads, to some of whom the direct popular neces
sity is the most favorable oqiportunities to ileece the
people. Plant cotton of course, but remember that
corn and peas are not to be neglected, that a good sup
ply of these articles at homo, without sending to the
northwest to get them, and then sending to the depot
day after day to get them, are a great contribution to
comfort and independence. Shall cotton or grain be
our main crops this year, is a question of no little
moment. We would therefore suggest, now that the
crops have been sown without due regard to the con
siderations we bave suggested, the necessity of plant
ing heavy crops of peas.
GLADSTONE’S GREAT REFORM
SPEECH,
Enthusiastic Gnlogy on the People of j
the United States.
A N IX H I B I T ( O N
litiG
MoxxiCELto, Fla., April 24th, 1866.
Editors of News ana Herald:
The growing crops of cotton and com in this as in
all other sections of the State are exceedingly promis
ing, and, of course, the planters are in fine spirits. I
hear but one complaint, and that is the difficulty of
making prompt payments to laborers in consequence
of the scarcity of money. The subjects of emigration
and immigration are attracting more attention in
Middle Florida than, perhaps, in any other portion of
the South. The people here are very desirous of see
ing white laborers from abroad filling up fhe towns
and cities, and settling on the large area of arable
land which is now necessarily left unproductive, ow
ing to the diminution of labor.
Throughout the State, and in this portion of it par
ticularly, there are fine openings for the operation of
capitalists, and plenty of good land for the industrious
laborer, and it is to be hoped that as soon as our po
litical troubles are settled, foreigners will be induced
to accept tho superior advantages offered in a settled,
productive and delightful country over the uninhab
ited though rich plains of our Western Territories.
It is in this portion of the peninsula State that a
strong disposition has been manifested by the people
to emigrate to other countries. This was more com
mon at the close of tho war, before the angry passions
of the contest had subsided, and the yoke had. be
come less galling, to think of leaving our shipwrecked
bark, and seek repose in more peaceful realms. To
intensify this feeling throughout the Southern States
companies have been formed and every inducement
offered to persons desirous of settling in Mexico and
South America. I am glad to learn that this emi
gration fever is gradually subsiding, for certainly the
colonist will not find peace and comfort in Mexico,
where robberies and wars are every day pastimes.
No doubt Maximillian will sell confiscated lands very
cheap, hut will his title-deeds be good, when Mr. Em
peror Some-body-else usurps the Government? Of
course our Confederate friends, who are now settled
there, and occupy well paid official positions, are very
glad to see their friends do ing likewise, but Professor
Wrang in a late letter on colonization, after extolling
tho soil and climate, adds that he would not advise
emigrants to come to Mexico at present without
money I certainly agree with him in this suggestion,
that if a man has no money he iB better off at home
than anywhere else. I am not of those who like a
restless, changing life, with no fixed abode: As an
exile we should always be thinking of our boyhood’s
home, and, perhaps, never be satisfied until we re
turned to it. And then, again, we have duties to per
form which it is not manly to sbU. „ The gallant sol
diers who fought for Southern independence should
submit to fate with dignity, and remember that their

The banquet given to Mr. Gladstone by the Liberal;
-partjf of Liverpool was a brilliant and successful affair. ,
Mr. Gladstone emphatically deolared that the Govern
ment would stand or fall by the Reform bill which j
they had introduced. In the course of his speech he j
referred to the Fenians in America, and in strong \
terms denounced their threats against the innocent j
citizens of Canada and New Brunswick, as a means of
redressing supposed wrongs with which they had
nothing to do. He asserted that in the event of the j
Fenians proceeding to such a diabolical act they ■
wouid place themselves beyond the sympathy of the
whole world, and all the resources of England would
be freely spent to assist her colonists in the holy work
of sellidefence. The Duke of Argyle and Mr. Gos-
chen were among the guests at the banquet, and made
speeches in support of the Beform bill.
On the following evening Mr. Gladstone addressed a
great reform meeting at the Amphitheatre, Liverpool.
He adduced strong arguments in favor of the gov
ernment measure, and his remarks were,applauded
with the greatest enthusiasm. He pointed to the ex-'
ertionspf America in the late war as jiroof of the ben. [
efits resnl ting from trust lntl^ people; and looking q
at the energy displayed ■■!!'"mI'-v. he said: j
About five or six hundreSfdSraFago, when the sub
ject of parliamentary reform was under discussion, if
was a popular and fashionable practice to speak of the
institutions of America as a perfect failure, and long
orations were delivered in the House of Commons I
stating all the particulars of that dailnre, and making I
use of those institutions as a bugbear to terrify and
frighten ns from proceeding in the path of our duty,
to induce us to withhold our confidence from our
countrymen, and insist upon retaining the narrow
limits of the present constituency. [Hear, hear.] What
has taken place since that?
I am not going to deliver a general lecture
upon the civil war in America; above all, I am
not going to bring forward any invidious distinctions
or any distinctions at all, bstwcon one section and
another of that great community. -For my part,
my earnest and devout aspiration is—and I be
lieve that is the aspiration and desire of Englishmen
at large-efor the welfare of that nationdn every part

masses of the people of the North will ba surfeited
with radical experiments and unconstitutional meas
ures, and the country under the wise and just policy
of President Johnson, will settle down to peace and
harmony, with our Constitution bedded down upon a
rock, where the wars of faction harmlessly best, while
the industrial resources of the vast Union are being
developed, and our distracted country once more take
its place in line, at the bead of great nations.
The complete revolution in the labor system of the
State has removed the desire of land owners to hold
large tracts of land,and the reduced circumstances and
pressing necessities of most property holders has in
duced them to offer for sals portions of their landed
estates, so that there will be no difficulty in obtaining
land of good quality in quantities to suit purchasers.
The people of Florida, like those of Georgia, will
welcome capital and labor whensoever it may come,
provided it be honestly employed, and be devoted to
developing their resources and reviving their in
dustry. All the people I have met in my travels have
accepted in good faith and in all ita logical conse
quences tho great result of this terrible war—that
slavery no longer exists or can exist in the United
States. They are therefore willing to acknowledge
that the negro is fres from the shackles of slavery,and
is no longer obliged to serve, unpaid, the behests of
others. The law which compelled him to that servi
tude has been submitted to the arbitrament of war,
and has been abrogated. They treat with negroes as
between man and man—pay them what they can earn
and do full justice toward them. They regard each
class as necessary to the other. Labor and capital
work together, but are worth nothing when sepsrated-
The planters of Florida have put aride all passion and
prejudice, aud act like rational beings, with a due re
gard to their own interests and with a due acknowl
edgment of the actual condition of affairs.

institutions as institutions to bo preferred to our own
[Hour, hour.] But what 1 am going to do is this : I
think it is our business as men of sense to draw les
sons from the experience of mankind, [hear, hear,]
and from the facts that come under our view, whether
they be in despotic countries or iu c justitutiomd
countries, or in countries republican or democratic. -
[Hear, hear.] And the point which I ask you to ob
serve is this :«not the* comparative merits of,English
or American institutions, but this single and import
ant point, of the effect that has been produced in
America by largely extended popular franchises, by a
widely spread patriotism on the part of the people iu
the choice of their governors, the wonderful, unex
ampled, and aliffost inei edible effect that hus been
produced by that system in giving forcible expression
to the national will, and in enabling the Government
to develop energies for the purpose of giving effect to i
that will, such as have probably never been developed }
in equal times and among equal numbers uf men
since the race of men began upon the earth [Ap
plause.] Less than 30,000,000 of people—I do not !
speak of tke negro population, who can hardly be
said to have entered distinctly into the war, thankful
as wa may be at the change it lias ultimately had upon
their destinies—20,OUU,000 iu the majority and 6,000,-
000in the minority coming lo the bloody issue of war
upon a matter which, upon the one side and the other I
>yas held vital by both, have, I am bound to say. com- i
mon justice requires us to admit, developed an amount |
of heroism, a power of self-sacrince, [hear, hear,] an i
energy, a perseverance, a forgetfulness of every per- i
sonal interest, an amount of actual force arrayed and
marshaled by the subjects in support of their chosen
rulers such as I know not where to seek for in the an
nals of the history of the world. [Applause.] What
I would say is, let us learn lessons where we can, and j
among others let us learn them from our brethren, the
children of our loins in America. 1
The position of England is a peculiar position in the !
world. England has inherited from bj'-gone ages
more, perhaps,of what was most august and venerable
in those ages than any other European country,
and at the same time that her traditions
the past are so rich and fruitful that all
our minds and characters have, both within
and beyond our knowledge, been largely molded by
tham, she has likewise been exposed in the highest
possible degree to every modern milueuce which the
nineteenth century has brought into activity. As
geographically she stands with Europe on the one
side of her and America on the other, so she stands
between those feudal institutions upon whichEuropean
society was formed, and which have given her hpr
hierachv of classes, and on tho other side those prin
ciples of equality which form the basis of society iu
America. It is the business of England, not by servile
imitation of the one or the other to forget her own
glorious history, but on the contrary, to cherish
everything she lias inherited and to improve it, but
to improve it tor the sake of preserving it. [Cheers.]
But it is her duty while she so looks upon the past to
learn likewise from the present; and if the recent I
events which have taken place on the other side of j
the Atlantic have demonstrated to us how, by an on- I
larged franchise, augmented power can be marshalled |
on behalf of the Government, aud increased energy j
be given to the action of fhe nation, why then, I say, }
without risks, without forgetfulness of the rules of «r '% Hi]UKIV
prudence and circumspection, always within the I * * *
limits of modesty and moderation, but yet with firm
ness, with determination, we ought to observe, copy,
and appropriate the lessons which may be so gathered
from other portions of the experience of the human
family. [Applause.]
It is sometimes said that the measure we propose is
a democratic measure. The word democracy lias
very different senses. If by democracy is meant
liberty, the extension to each man in his own sphere
of every privilege and franchise that he can exercise
with advantage to himself and with safety to the State,
then I confess I do not' see much to alarm us in the
word democracy. [Hear, hear, and cheers.] If by
democracy is moant the enthroning of ignorance
against knowledge, the setting up of vice in opposition
to virtue, a disregard of rank, a forgetKuluess of what
our fathers have done for us, indifference or coldness
with regard to tbe inheritance v/e enjoy, then I, for.
one, and I believe, ali whom I have this honor to
address, are the enemies of democracy. [Hear, hear.]
In such a sense, this is not a democratic country.
[Hear, hear.] On the contrary, iu this country there
is a love for that arrangement and constitution of so
ciety which we have iuherited from former times;
and I do not believe that of fhe entire community there
ik one man in a hundred who would disturb it if he
could. [Hear, hear.] There is but one thing that can
make this country from a country aristocratic in its
feelings become democratic. That day, I thiuk,
would be an unhappy day, and I know nothing that
could bring that dayto arrive unless it were a forget
fulness by the British aristocracy that their order has
in all times beyond any aristocracy in the world, been
trustful and confiding in its temper toward the people,
mild and forbearing in its use of privilege, [hear,]
ready to give leaders to the nation iu every cause that
belonged to its honor and liberty. [Applause.]
