This i the day, ami MHledgovills the *]•<*’
agreed upon by the Detnoeralto >••<***
miltee, for the meeting of the next PentoerMu
•State fun vent ion. *
To the Democracy of Muacogee.

county will he held at the Oourt Boom, on FaA
unUy the 2let Inst,, At 12 o’elock, for the por
poMi of Appoint in g delegates to llus approaching
Gubernatorial and Cungreasionol Convention*.—
We hope that there will l>e a general attemlanee
from the various parte of the county.
The K fieri of War upon I'ution.
It is a vory general opinion that the declare
tion and prosecution of a war between the Jiuro
l*ftan involved in the complication*
•I the Italian question, will exert a dteitetrou*
effect upon the prieeof oar groat staple. Uniform
experience i* appealed to for confirmation of tbi*
opinion, and reason, it i* elalmed, lend* it* aid
to the name result Under some a*pootw. and With
re-tainmodifications, we are prepared to assent
to the above ooncluaion. To aay that every na
tion .nast pay in export* of ita own production
for what it import* from other nation*, f but an
other way of expressing the self-evident proposi
tion that everybody iuu*t jay for what they buy.
Hie farther true that in exact proportion a* we
augment thla capacity for production, do wo in
crease not only the ability but the willingness of
a people to consume, and vie* reran. Now jrfinee
is the condition in which the productive energies
of a people are stimulated to the greatest activity.
A wtate of war necessarily involves the abstrac
tion •fw groat many laborers from productive
employment. To maintain this condition re
quires, also, that capital shall be directed from It*
ordinary channels, and bo made to (low in the
track of war. Annie* with their cumbrous ac
coutrement* and enginery, have to be transport
ed! the soidior has to he paid; provision* and
ammunition have to be consumed, and a thousand
if avenue* of ex|>endittire are ojtcncd which must
l.e ultimately supplied by the earning* of the
hushandoian. If, therefore, the external rela
tions of a nation involved in war were to remain
unembarrassed if the facilities for exporting
and importing were not obstructed, still .it* coin
me roe would be crippled by reason of the above
consideration*. It would aeom, however, that
this result would he one of gradual growth. The
uacauH and energies of a great people are not to
be exhausted by one or two campaigns, and until
this end la rearbed or approximated, there is no
good reason why the producer* of those commod
ities with which the belligerent* have hitherto
been supplied, should <ii tor Lain siuslt a dread of
imminent min. Especially is .this applicable to
the producer of cotton, lie raises an article with
which the world must he . lad. This requirement
is not contingent upon the existence of pence or
war. The soldier cannot do good service ami go
naked, or even half dad. Indeed, hi* neoessltic*
lit this rotqrtHri are umch greater than those of
the peaceful laborer, ami the ‘demand for cotton
good* would he greater precisely In the *amc pro
portion.
In the case oi braad*tuHs*aud provision* ‘this
effect is dearly perceptible. Who over heard'of
a wur during which those commodities did not
hear a high price. Witnoas the advance whidi
even the rumor of war haa produced! There, i*
a reason, we know, in favor of the advance in
these articles which doe* not apply toedton, to
wlt: the scarcity created by the abstraction of
laborers from these channels of production to till
the ranks of war; but, at last, the argument i*
based upon the fact that uivn mnat eat. Ho, also,
a* we have said, they wn be dad ; yet food goes
up. out of tight, and cotton ditto, in the cuutrary
direction. There is tu cause for this but fright.
The English manufacturer, always ripe for any
•levicu to depress cotton, make* a “raw head and
bloody bones” out of war, which answer* well
enough t frighten the capitalist and speculator.
The contagion crosses the ocean and tpveadsover
this country. It even ronohes the planter and
induce* him to think that his product will be tuft
on hi* bunds unless ho take* nothing for it. Thu*
every body cease* to hold up cotton, and of course
it falls by its own gravity.

freedom for tho nation from a conflict in which

a despot for our ally, lotus not shame our reason

It is not a quarrel which concerns us. The
people of this country have little sympathy with
the present ruler of France, and still les* with
Austria's treatment of her outlying province*.
However had the statu of Italy may be, the t;>\
payers of England will bo content to see the ques

“Do Tour Duly. Mnintnin ihe fonstlratlwi and the

The abolition leader*, and their organs in the
public press, arc most violent in their denuncia
tions of the action of the State Courts <>f Ohio in
refusing to enter into a conflict with the United
authorities in the ease of the Oberlin res
cuers, by rejecting tho application for a writ of
I ho beat co/put in behalf of prisoner* held by Fed- j
et ai officers.
We can easily comprehend the rage of the “ir !
represstbie-conflict” d<‘ctriuuircs at this crushing j
defeat of one us their most cherished objects, and ;
wc were not unprepared for their bitter disap
pointment at finding that the stealing and reeu
ing of negroes indirect violation of law is a pas
time in which they cannot indulge without the
I danger of summary punishment.
The action ot the State Court* of Ohio was tho j
honest and faithful discharge of a solemn duty,
[ and by their fearless and conscientious adherence J
I to their official obligation*, they have averted a j
conflict between Slate nod Federal authorities j
which would have led to iue most calamitous eon -
i sequences. Thev have followed the wise and j
! dignified counsel given by our respected Chief

The Futile In Europe—Loans.
The |i*o?paet c‘a war between several of the
powers of Earr n has caused a depreciation in
to. k, and.'. pr> -.tjon of commerce in that corn

th J many firms have failed that otherwiat- would
brive stood tfie feni{>o*t of hard time# and a scar
city oi mouv.y.
If i iiix, i.c total nmount of loans i>cu*ken& a
i;ul -tut® of affairs for the future. The whole sum
now in the r nrkot runs up to $200,006,600.
L ,i asks for a loan of i00.u(>0,000

aly. r • $60,000,000 in the market—
Austria ask*- fur a|o*ua of $30,000,000, which sho
has been ir nfilo to acll.buthas taken iMttsd the

dinia has obtained a loan of $2o,000,C00; Prussia
basin market a loan for $46,000,000, and Eng
land, io behalf of India, for $30,000,000.
From these la rye n mount* in tha market, the
reader b apt to conjecture a bankruptcy without
| great pruTon : nnd foresight ou the part of th©
power* d.rectiy interested.
From our exchanges, we learn that the annual
in to roil OH the debt of England alone is $120,-
* 0fi0,006, Th annual expense of her army and
navy i* $167,500,000. Her whole annual expense
is $540,006,600. Russia owes $080,000,660, and
the annual expense of her army and navy is $73,-
500,000. France bin a similar predicament.
Tho effect of these lo’ upon the Uniied State*
will be to augment the quantity of dutiable
g'WrtD and Inn care the revenue of the Govern
ment. The war will increase the demand for ag
ricultural produce and manufactured article* will
be sent to this country in pavmont for bread
