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 | friends and families, and their country, demand their rmined to 311 this office South with, services. Although affairs have not assumed a cheer- 7i, inyal men.

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 and portion of it, the white or black.

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.

And he’took the occasion, ss a matter of duty, to lay down the. Episcopal office, which he has held for thirty-four years. He was of the Opinion that, after having passed the age of seventy years, a man ia no longer fit to act as a bishop. ■ ■ The Conference referred the TenereWe Bishop a proffer of his resignation to the Committee on the Episcopacy.

[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.
