BROUN, jano-lt Mu._ Editoi::—While it can but be j admitted just now that our political; horizon sec-m3 . to smile more friendly to our hitherto dejected and disap- j pointed souis, nonone will-dare reply j to the above question in the affitina- ■ tive, when it is an undeniable fact- that I other and equally as great- obstacles lie in the way of our future and perma nent prosperity;. ' •• • Whither are we drifting? Look around and let the condition, of thc- conhlry to-day answer tho question.—! Look back- over the road we have been traveling the past five years, and see the wracks. Ask the men wholave heen trying to run large plantations with crowds of negroes to support in laziness and theft, and what is then; use? “Lost, lost, and almost cl.” Look out at the sad eounte- >s > and long - faces of those who seemed bright with smiles and happy with easy minds. What is the cause of all this? Ask our own silent thoughts the question, and- what is the reply? A sigh is the only answer, with, perhaps, a smotli- •-ivd imprecation, “Lool that I have" boon!” ! ; . ; ',.. Who is to blame for this dearth or jirc siralion in the land? Will any one pretend to claim that we, the farmers, me not responsible for the whole of it, that our folly, fa!se pride, indiscretion and misdirection have not brought it nr on oiir- shohfders?. Let him speak who will,-for we-are all deeply, serious ly and sorrowfully in the matter. Yet by our actions, we virtually ack nowledge lo.liave been, running under a sound and systematic policy, for in stead of turning oyer; a new leaf, as our better judgment and past experience most rigidly dictate, we have-'turned up the. same old page again, already-so . full of blots defaeings, failiure accounts etc., and propose to work out a net dividend, right or wrong. mm meat.
