NEWNAN, GA. LaGraxge, August 13, 1868. Mr. Willingham: In your letter, just handed me by Mr. Tuggle, you ask me to give rny old friends an expression of my views upon the issues involved in the Presidential campaign. Others have kindly urged the same request.— I concede the justice of the claim, for io past days the people of Troup county have honored me with a unanimity and consideration they have never extended to any other man in an equal degree. It is fit, too, that this expres sion should be made in 3’our columns—for it was as Editor of the Reporter I received my first patronage and encouragement here. I intend to support Horatio Seymour for the Presidency because I want peace. Not a lull in the tempest; but that peace which only the complete and permanent re-establishment of the Union can secure. And, witiiout.any word ot disparagement to others, in my judgment Mr. Seymour is the man who best embodies the re-establishmcut of the Union on princi ples of equality and justice and con-titutional law. By natural endowment he is possessed of great ability. By education and life-long study he is a philosopher in statesmanship; by experience he is a skillful adept therein— foi'-he lias been the Chief Executive of’ New \ork, a position scarcely less important in its duties than the Presidency. When the recent sectional war was threat ened, he opposed it. So did I. When the doctrine of coercion was asserted, about the time Lincoln, in his inaugural, declared it a fallacy, lie did the same. So did I. WMien lii? p'innitt^oniVgiT.-m oat.m- . n-. -aiAinrm his co-operation and support. I did the same, in my humble way, for my own people, the war ended he 1.

Because I wanted this great- good for my people 1 was a candidate for Congress in the first election called by Mr. Johnson ; and tho’ greatly misunderstood by many at the time, by comparison between the card I then pub lished and Mr. Seymour's letter of acceptance, you .vil 1 perceive that the principles therein advocated are identical with many of the lead ing thoughts advocated by him. Who, then ... , , ■ ~ I support but him ?

The planters severed in questioning said Amanda, and | tfere generally in debt, their lands were said to me that lie would in time get mortgaged, their products afforded little enough evidence out of her to implicate ! profit, and 111 ny ol the younger and more : enterprising people were moving away.— The cause of this state of things, these j planters agreed, was the difficulty of rais | ing cotton with profit, owing to the great : labor required iu separating the fibres of j the cotton f rom the seeds. Many ol our reader,;-, we presume, have never seen cotton growing, nor even a , Loll, or pod of cotton This pod. which so as to give Whitley an opportunity to make more arrests. is about as large as a hen’s burst- Gen.

The fibres of the cotton adhere so tightly to the seeds, that to get one pound of clean cotton, without manufactory of fire arms, in New Haven, no protection to him. It he brought suit 1 >r its infringemnt, no Southern jury would give him a verdict. He struggled on against adverse influences for fifteen years. In lSuS, when his patent expir ed, he gave up the contest and withdrew from the business, a poorer man than he was on tiie day when he went, with his handful of cottun-pods, into Mrs. Greene’s basement. Thousands of men were rich, who, but for his ingenuity and labor, would have remaiued poor to the end of their days. The levees of the Southern seaports were heaped high with c >tton, which, but for him, would never have been grown.— Fleets of cotton ships sailed the seas, which but for him, would never have been built, lie, the creator of so much wealth, returnod to his native State, at the age of forty-two, to begin the world anew. 31 r. Eli Whitney was a thoroughbred Yankee—one of those unconquerable mon, who, balked in one direction, try another, and keep on trying till they succeeded.— He turned his attention to the improve ment of fire arms, particularly the old- fashioned musket.
