COMMERCIAL PROSCRIPTION OF THE
SOUTH.
It will be seen by the dispatch which we
publish this morning that at a meeting of
leading New York firms, it has been deter
mined to sell no goods to Southern mer
chants this season except for cash. We have
no doubt that these leading New York firms
are all Radioals, and that the movement is
either intended for political effect, or is a
precautionary measnre prompted by tbeir
knowledge of the revolutionary designs of
their party in case of theiY 'defeat in the
coining Presidential election.
It may be that they are silly enough to Re
lieve that the Radical parly, in the almost
certain event of the election ot Seymour and
Blair by the legal white voters of the coun
try, will endeavor to prevent their inaugura
tion by force, and to foist upon the nation
their own candidates by means of fraudulent
returns, n°gro suffrage and tbe bayonet. If
they are sure this course has been determine/!
on, they are very right in anticipating diffi
culty. Oa the other hand, the peacelul tri
umph of the Democratic party, with the
restoration of the Constitution, the Union,
and legal civil government, should afford no
grounds for apprehensions of political or
financial disorders.
That Seymour and Blair will be elected by
an overwhelming majority of the white vo
ters of the Northern and Western States,
without the aid ot the voles of tbe Southern
States, we have scarcely a doubt. What
wffl be the effect of that great change in tbs
political status of the country remains en
tirely with the Radical party. If they shonll
be as prone to revolution and violence, as
reckless of law and right when out of power
as they ' have been . while controlling the
government, the worst fears of the country
may be realized. Bnt in the determining ol
this matter tbe Sonth will have no agency.
The liberties^ the present peace and fntnre
hopes of'the country arti in the hands of tbe
white men of the great and powerful North
and West. November will solve the prob
lem whether we are again to be a great,
free, prosperous and united people, or are
reserved for a fate too melancholy to con
template. Let ns take courage and hope for
the best.

THE COLORED DEMOCRACY.
Wo hare before alluded lo the gratifying
fact that the great body of the intelligent
and worthy colored men cf the South, hav
ing had tiieir eyes opened to the deception
which has been practiced upon their race by
tbe vile carpet-bag and scalawag emmisa-
lies who come among them to beguile and
delude them by false promises—to alienate
them from tbeir white friends and engender
discord hatred and strife, that they may ob
tain (he offices of tbe eountry and plunder and'
rob the people of both races—are leaving the
Radical parly with disgost and joining the De
mocracy enthusiastically iu tbe support of Sey
mour and Blair,the Constitution and the laws.
Tbe more sagacious amoDg them have dis
covered the canting hypocraoy and falsehood
of their new-born pretended friends, and are
openly and boldly denouncing their villainy
and advising their race to shut their ears
to their lying councils. Among the specious
arguments need by the carpet-baggers to
prejudice tbe minds and exoite tbe passions
of the credulous freedmen, has been tbe base
falsehood that the Democratic party, If suc
cessful, would reduce tbem again to slave
ry. This doctrine has been and is still
sedulously inculcated by the mischei-
vous white incendiaries in our midst.—
But we are glad to know that the
minds of tbe freedmen are being rapidly
disabused on this subject, and that they are
becoming convinced of the fact that—as
stated in the able and truthful address of the
Charleston Democratic Club—so far from the
Democratic party’having any desire or in
tention to re-enslavejbe oolored race of the
Sonth, they are tbe party who gave legal free
dom to the slave, and who now stand by and
uphold that charter of bis perpetual and ir
revocable freedom; while the^Radical party
'maintain that the act by which the slaves
were made free and slavery forever abolish
ed, is illegal, being the act of an illegal gov
ernment. With all their professed Opposi
tion to slavery—which never manifested it
self even in words until after the slave trade,
carried on exclusively by them, was broken
np by the votes of the Southern represents
lives in Congress, and until they no longer
had any interest in the institution—they
assert that the State Governments which rati
fied the amendment of the Constitution
—without which ratification slavery could
not have been legally abolished—were
illegal governments, without power to do
a legal act; tbns keeping the legality
of the abolition of Blavery an open ques
tion. This they do at present for
a political purpose, bnt as they once
made fortunes by the slave trade and by
holding, baying and selling slaves, we are
not so sure that, under a change of circum
stances, if there was money to be made by
it that they would not be willing to take ad
vantage of the pretended iUegabilily of the
State Governments, and go into the slave
trade again. A party who have trampled
Constitution and laws, justice and right un
der foot lo enslave freeborn white men, of
their own race, would not hesitate to take
advantage of a legal quibble to enslave
race for whom they have no regard or sympa
thy father than to nse them for their own ad
vantage.
Bnt, as we have said, the intelligent freed
men are no longer to be imposed upon by
this false charge against the Democratic
party. In proof of this fact we refer tbe
reader to the preamble and resolutions of
the Colored Democracy of Dougherty conn-,
ty, which we publish in another column.
We have reports of large and enthusiastic
meetings of Colored Democratic Clubs in
varions portions of onr own State and in
South Carolina, all going to show that there
is a thorough awukening among the more
intelligent freedmen to the true issues in
volved in the approaching election, and that
they are determined to stand by tbeir
white friends in support of Seymour and
Blair, and the principles of the Democratic
party as affording the only sure guarantee
of tbeir security, peace, prosperity and hap
piness.
A Georgian, traveling through the North
western States, writes from White Water,
Wisconsin, to the editor of the Albany, (Ga,)
News, that on his trip from Chicago to that
place, he found the country literally covered
with wheat and corn. The inhabitants of
that country say there never was a better
grain crop tbeie. The writer also says that
the grain crop throughout the Western
States has been a magnificent success.

Health of New York City.—Tbe num
ber of deaths in New York city for the week
ending Saturday, was 731, an increase of 88
over the record of the week previous. This
unexpected addition to the mortality list, it
is more than hinted, is owing to the con-
sumption of diseased meat among the poorer
classes in the worst sections of the city. Nor
is this all. Mnch excitement has been caused
in this city by information that a number of
persons have been poisoned at the Metho
dist camp meeting at Sing Sing, supposed by
eating diseased meat. It is certain that
eighteen diseased cattle were brought to a
small town near the place,' and that at least
one of them was cut up and sold. The
Board of Health have ordered an investiga
tion.

Important Interview between Generals
Kosecrans and Lee.
A correspondent of tbe Richmond Whig,
writing from tbe White Sulphur Springs on the
22d iastant, gives what purports to be the
substance of an interview between Generals
Bosecrans and Lee. Tbe writer says:
“General Bosecrans, who is a very fluent
talker, and who expresses his opinions with a
soldierly wont of reserve, as your correspond
ent knows, said that there were many honest,
well-meaning men in the North and West who
have been led to believe, by the misrepresent
ations of the Southern correspondents of the
Radical press, as well as by the speeches of tbe
leaders of that party, that the people of the
South are just as hostile to the Union now as
during the war, and as much embittered against
the Northern people as they • were when both
were in arms; that they hate tbe negroes with
a deadly hate because they have been freed;
and but for the strong am of the military
would reduce them to a state of political sla
very, and perpetrate all manner of outrages
upon them. He proposed, therefore, that. the
general officers of the Confederate army, rep
resenting as they do the' valor, the chivalry
and the trulh of the South, unite and lay
before the Northern people, in a tangible form,
that cannot be disputed, the true state of the
feeling as he had found it everywhere in his
travels South.
“General Lee denied that the people of the
Sontti are inimical to tbe Union. They want
peace, and long for it. This is their universal
sentiment a9 far as be had beea. able to ascer
tain it, and his opportunities have been many,
from frequent conversations and extensive
correspondence with representative persons in
all p ,rts of the South. As to their animosity
to the negro, nothing could be farther from
the fact, and why should there be ? Said he,
there is no rivalry, between the races, but a
reciprocal interest growing out of the’ fact that
each is dependent upon the other to a great
extent—one needing employment and the other
employees. Apart from this, they had been
reared together, and there is'a natural affection
between them.
General Leu gave .his cordial approval to
the patriotic object’ which General Bosecrans
has in view, and is so .zealously prosecuting.”
General Bosecrans had subsequently a simi
lar interview with the Hon. A. H. H. Stuart
and the Hod. A. H. Stevens. The correspond
ent of the Whig adds:
“No plan has yet been decided upon, but it
: s probable that some distinguished gentleman
known to the whole couatry, will be requested
to prepare a paper in accordance with the
suggestion of General Bosecrans, which shall
set forth clearly and fully the real state of feel
ing now existing in the South. This will be
printed and forwarded to all the general officers
of the Confederate army, and such representa
tive Sonthem'statesmen as it is deemed desir
able should sign it, for their signatures. At
the same time they will be requested to add
such comments os they may think proper.”

_^_)ey was elected Secretary, and Jack
Lockett, Treasurer. This completed the or-
ization, alter which many patriotic and
and colored—cheer after cheer for Seymour
and Blair and the Constitution rent the'air,
while the Albany brass band t hundered forth
its enlivening and soul-stirring music. Tbe
doors of the Crab weie then opened and an
invitation extended to all present to join,
when many of the most prominent ot the
Rstiipai Loyal League came forward and had
their names enrolled as members of the Club,
thus showing that the back bone of the Rad

the force of the COLORED IRON RIBBED
DEMOCRACY OF DOUGHERTY.
The following preamble and resolutions
were then read aDd unanimously adopted :
We, the colored Democracy of Dougherty
county, reposing onr trust in the intelli
gence, patriotism and jastice of the people,

the only safe guarantee of the liberties of
the people, and recognizing the question of
slavery as forever settled by the volantary
actions of the people of Georgia in Conven
tion assembled, and • by the Constitution of
the United States, and viewing its agitation
at present by the Radical party as injuring

alarm in the minda of the colored people, we
hereby denounce snch agitators as enemies
of onr race, and of the good order, peace
and dignity of every well regulated commu
nity.
Therefore resolved, That a3 unity and har

and nei*ghborhood throughout the Slate, and
especially throughout the Second Congres
sional District, to organize similar clubs, and

ples we advocate, as well as preserve the
peace and goad order in their respective dis
tricts.
Resolved, That we hereby appoint Geo.
H. Coleman, Matt Rogers and James White,
a Committee who shall be kaown as the
standing Committee of (his Club, and re
spectfully request the white Democratic
Crab of this connty, to appoint a similar

ments, and do all oiher acts necessary to
promote the interest of tbe two organizations.
Resolved, That the nomination of Sey
mour and Blair by the National Democratic
Convention for the office of President and
Vice President of the United Stales, meets
onr beany approval, and we hereby pledge
ourselves to nse all honorable means to se
cure for them a trinmphaut election.
Resolved, That we hereby extend the right
hand of fellowship to onr colored brethren,
to every Conservative and to all who may
differ with U3 in opinion, aad who may de
sire to support the Constitution of the great
founders of the Repnblio, and request them
to unite with us to preserve that Constitution
as the great bulwark of the liberties of the
people, and tbe National Democratic party,
as the only constitutional party that can
preserve the Government and secure to every
freedman his jnst rights and privileges, and
all such co-operating with ns, we shall ever
hail as onr best friends and brothers.
Resolved, That the Albany News, and
each other papers as are friendly to our
cause, be requested to publish these proceed

from a land of oppression, are the first to
join in the howl of “down with the negro.”
He said if the negroes rate ineligible,
no law9 that have been enacted are
legal; that Bullock was never Provisional
Governor and Gen. Meade only Commander-
in-Chitf. To torn out these men is revolu
tion. When Gov. Brown decided that these
people had no right to hold office it was the
great mistake of hi3 life. We want co
such . Republicans . in tho party. It |
the negroes are nnseated We wiil appeal.{
from the House to tbs people. Lincoln’s
Emancipation Proclamation whipped tho
fight. We are nearing a terrible abyss. Let
the people pause before they take the leap.
The persons who are inciting negroes to in
surrection mistake their bravery. They are
the brave men of tbe country who stand
firm and fight in the front ranks. ‘ I n i . , , _
