these shining lights of Democracy.
Tlie Crisis almost at llaud
One month from to day, the great issue
ns to tho perpetuity of Constitutional
liberty, will be solved by the American
people. For seven years, Iho parly in
power lius disregarded nil constitutional
barriers, made tho boasted liberty ol
America a mockery treated with jeers and
contempt tho wisdom and precedents of
Hie founders of our government, and leg
islated entirely for the advancement ol
party. Now they have Ihe effrontery to
appeal to the people, and demand that
they be sustained and continued in their
reign ol corruption, anarchy and villainy
—and on the third day of November the
verdict is to bo recorded.
All minor questions of policy are swal
lowed tip by (he great, overwhelming,
mighty issue : Shall Radicalism be bus
laiued, Liberty dethroned, and Despotism
inaugurated ? This is tho vital question
the American people are called upon to
sol re. Are they ready for the ballot ?
Have they fathomed the depth of degre'
dation tho cohorts of radicalism would
subject the nation ? Are they prepared
to declare that tho labor, suffering and
sacrifice of the patriots of a by-gone age,
encountered in the establishment ol a Irce
government, arc to be considered only in
the light of vaporish eccentricities of
idiots? Are they prepared to proclaim
Hint constitutional liberty, regulated bj
justice, wisdom and moderation, lias prov
ed a lamentable failure— that the Consti
tution of our fathers is a series of ab
suiditios, not worth (lie parchment upon
which it is written—that a Union ol
States is an impossibili'y, “a flaunting
lie,” and (hat all power should be etnbo
died in a eoiitrulV.-.-d government—that
a Republic is a humbug, and a Monar
chy a blessing.
Are the people prepared to endorse
heresy so vile ? Are they willing to sur.
louder the free government of their lath
ers, bury in a deep grave eonslitntioual
liberty, ami hail as patriots, statesmen
and honest men, the Robespieres who
trampled on tho chat ter of freedom, del
uged the land with blood, robbed the j
peoph of civil and political rights, eleva
ted the inferior above the superior race,
and bankrupted the country ? If they are 1
ready to endorse and applaud the authors
of these damnable outrages, then indeed
lias honor and reason forsaken their;
thrones, ami America, once the laud of
the chivalrous and the noble, become the

The Cotton Comblno thin A (loot!
Hissttesfion.
The Macon Journal and M< -■ •< nger says ;
as lliis organization lias complete control |
nf all the cotton in tlm world, we pn-l
sumo the decline will go on until it
touches ten and twelve cents. Then the
members will be released from their ob
ligations and all hands do their best to
get all the cotton they can. This will
eause an iimlant reaction, ami it will go
up ua rapidly as it has gone down. We
can do nothing now but icfuse to sell
until the reaction again raises the mar
ket to twenty five ccits. The combina
tion is too powerful for the feeble, cori
fiditig unorganized planters to make any
headway against it in any other manner.
The Macon Telegraph says there is a
scheme on font in portions of the South
which will effect nally stop the game
which speculators have been playing.
The scheme is tin's : Lot all the planters
of a’conety have a common warehouse to
store their cotton, and let this warehouse
be undei Hie control of several responsi
ble and reliable gentlemen, selected by
the planters of tho county, whoso duty
it shall be to receive and receipt for tho
cotlon and see that itju properly stored
and protected- Then, upon this aggre
gate amount of cotton stored, lot these
gentlemen borrow money at a reasonable
rate of interest and from it supply the
immediate pecuniary necessities of the
planter, at the same rate of interest at
which it was obtained by tho keepers of
the warehouse—each planter having the
privilege to borrow money in proportion
to the amount of cotton lie has in store.
Isa planter is willing to take tho market
price for his cotton and desires to sell,
let the warehouse buy it, if the imu-ket
price is too low, and it then becomes the
properly of Hie other planters of t he as
sociation, and becomes also a portion of
the common stock tip Tin which the money
is borrowed to supply the demands of
tho planters.
By this means (says the Telegraph) it
lis thought planters will be enabled to
j hold their cotton for good prices, and in
stead of their being tho sport and play
thing of speculators it will rule and con
trol them, if not shut them out of the
market, altogether; lor if the entire cot
ton crops of counties can bo thus collec
ted in the hands of a few planters, they
can sell directly to manufacturers and
consumers of the raw material, and not
a bale lull iutotne hands of speculators.
The price will then he settled by and be
tween the producer and consumer of cel
ton, and the planter can demand his
price instead of being forced to take
whatever is offered. When the question
of price is settled between tho producer
and consumer, then if the speculator
wants to show his hand, and force the
manufacturer to pay more for cotton
than tho planter asks, lot hi in overbid
the manufacturer and ho is then entitled
to control the price, for tho planter has
fairly disposed of the right to do so.

Ttte Adjournment.
The Legislature has finally concluded,
by joint resolution, to adjourn on the
Cth of the present month. The corres
pondent of the Augusta Chronicle, is of
opinion that a vast amount ol business,
now pending will in consequence of lin
early adj urnmciit, remain incomplete.-
It is said that several hundred bills have
not reached a thud reading, and at least,
half as many more have not been road
the second time in either lion- . The
[ consequence will be, much necessary
! legislation will remain unattended to,
notwithstanding the Assembly lias been

It having been brought to light that

cleared a schooner for Texas with one
hundred and fifty colored people on hoard
whom they landed in Cuba, where they

An 5 jjsiioi taut Kejxiit.
Mr. Shumats, Chairman of the Com
-1 mittee on iho Slate of the Republic,
made a patriotic and lengthy report to
the Georgia House of Representatives,
lon last Saturday, reviewing (hepolitical
history of the country since the war.
The report says: Many issues that
agitated the country for years have been
determined bv tie arbitration of the
; sword. Georgia, in common with the
people of other States composing the
do facto government of the Confederacy,
acquiesced in tho unavoidable cense
([uenees of the struggle. While believ
ing it, the right of a State to return to
the Union on terms of equality with nth
or members of the Union with the prrvi
: kgre and immunities of all her citizens
; unimpaired and protected under the eon
: stitulion, hdr people acquiesced in the
i plan of reconstruction Thought neces
sary and prescribed by the l’r> sklent, al
, though the pains and penalties imposed
on her best citizens were regarded as tin
just and oppressive. I’assivdy yielding
to the executive allthmity of the United
: States, the people ot Oceigiu proceeded
to organize a State Government in liar
motiy with and in obedience to the terms
| of the President's plan of reconstruction,
- complying with every condition, and in
i tlio ratification of the emancipation of
1 slaves the repudiation of all i< gal libili
! ties of -the State, and the recognition of
! the validity T>f the public debt of the
United States. Reconstruction under
! the Congressional plan is an accomplish
ied fact. Our representatives elected tin
j dor and by virtue of that plan have been
I admitted into the Congress of the United
Stat<s. Wo deprecate the highly in
flammatory and violently abusive char ■
acter of certain political publications mid
public speeches which unduly in flame
and excite the passions and prejudices
of both races. We deprecate the crim
inally false assertions in public prints
and in public addresses, made for the
express purpose of arousing the hostility
of the negro race against the white race.
Wc deprecate the advice and sugges
tions given by men who in many instar
ees are not identified with the interests
of the State which have induced the
negroes to arm themselves fir their de
fence in the exercise of their rights and
privileges which it is falsely asserted
the majority of the white race desires to
i wrest from them. \Yo deprecate the
fact that men among us persistently per
vert and exaggerate facts, and draw up
on their imagination for material for
'publication and give to the world tissues
of falsehood tending to produce abroad
false impressions that there is little pro

Our readers will have noticed that in
nv,at of the ifpvechcs of prominent Son ill-:
<in leaders, recently delivered, the color-;
ed voter has formed a t'iene‘ ot more;
lit in mere passing interest. Today We
add to the number extracts from a speech
delivered by a distinguished repri scuta-j
tive of “Young South,’' General Jarm-ST
It. Gordon, of Georgia, and from a letter
on the snlijeet written upon the more;
muture judgment of Mr. James !!. Camp
bell, of South Carolina These appeals,
and warning cannot be without their ef
fect upon the Colored population of the ;
South, and that they are destined to pro-i
dime a revolution in Jho minds ol the]
colored voters in favor of their former
masters, seems to be as (dear as the in j
iluenee ol the Northern adventurers over
the freedmen is fast v ainingf I here is
nothing at all extraoidinary in this. Tile
untutored negroes have discovered that
the promises of their newly found Nor
them friends are shams and ibdiisions,
and their natural instincts lead them to
distrust all who have oner deceived them.
In no instance have the pledges of their
Radical allies been carried out. At tin*
outset they promised them forty acres o!
land Slid a pair of millet' if they would
vote the Radical ticket They obeyed
instructions but have never seen either
litn.l ot mules. They were assured that
they should possess the confiscated lions
es and lands of the rebel leaders. This
| the Radicals failed to carry out ('loin
iftnr of the indignation the atrocity of
! the act would create throughout the
North. They wire told thot they should
hold seats in Congress, in the State Teg
ialalures and in the city councils and in
all respects enjoy every civil right, pri ■
rogalive possessed by the white man.
In all these promises they have been de- j
cei\cd and cheated. They have neither!
lands nor mules; they possess im confer-;
| cated plantations; the;, hold t - seats in
Congress, and only a few days ago a
1 hatch of their colored brethren were ex
| [idled from a Southern Legislature I y
; the vote of nearly every white Radical in
j it. The sensible portion of the Southern ;
| colored population begin to realize that j
i those Northern adventurers who have j
j located among them have no lan Is to j
| give; while on the other hand they see
{thattheir late masters have and that i
I those musters are disposed to treat them
! vith kindness and with n proper con
j sideration of their newly enfranchised
j condition Hence it is no wonder that
the hontliern colored voter is in a politi
cal position which with very little adroit
ness can be turned to the advantage ol
| their old masters leaving the treacherous
- cat pel baggers to their fate.
Now, then, comes the opportunity of
(lie Southern leaders With the nsais
tancc of the votes i t the colored papula
lion they can secure asc udaney in hear
