nST’The article from New York Times, upon
which we baaed our comment! yesterday, was
crowded out by the pressure of other matter. It
will be found in this issue, and we commend it
to the special attention of the Southern reader.
Gosst’s Lvdt’s Boos, for December, has been
rccelred, and, still maintains Its position as the
rety first of Its class of publications. Its engrav

Fast Da?.—As to-morrow is the day appointed
by the Governor os a day of fasting, humiliation
and prayer, avd aa aji are requested to lay aside
their secular pursuits and meet in the house of
God, no work will be done in this office on that
day, and consequently, no paper will be published
by ns on the 23d.
EETThe Alabama Legislature will go Into the
election for a United States Senator to succeed

John Forsyth, of Mobile; and ex-Governor John
A. Winston, ofSnmtrr.
Tenxnisnn.—Ex-Governor Perry, in a recent
letter, says:
“ Unfortunately for Tennessee, the scum and
drags of society have been thrown up by the
horrible eivil war through which she has passed,
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND TOE
SOUTH.
The Chicago Times, which has been for year*
the most zealous and unscrupulous organ
of the Democratic Party in the country, now
urges that party to insist upon “impartial «uf-
rage,” which tm-an 5 ingrosufTnige, in the Southern
States. Its reason tor this measure Is purely par
tisan:—the negro question, it says, mu-t begot
out af the way before the Democratic Party can
hope o regain its lost ascendency; and the only
mode ol getting suffrage to tbe negro. Therefore
the Times declares itself In favor of this measure.
We publish in another column a very jnst re
sponse to the Times from another Democratic pa
per of an adjoining State—the Indianapolis Her
ald. It contains some truths and argument which
we hope the weak-kneed Chicago organ may bs
able to digest
Verily the South is getting between two fires.—
The Republicans have been urging her lor months
to self-abasement and every form of degradation
in order that they may maintain the ascendancy
and now we find a portion of the Northern De
mocracy following suit and insisting that the
South shall cut her owu throat just that the Dent
ocratlc party may live and flourish. These are
valuable considerations, indeed, to address to a
gallant high- minded people! Neither tbe henor
and interest of tbe Sontb, nor the good of the
whole country, has any place in the picture. All
the North is after is party ascendency, anil they
care not the snap of a finger for us so that they
can get and hoi & tbe offices.
We thought at one time there was some lnnesty in
these Northern proleesions of principle Mid con
scrvatl*m, und wc were willing to go so tar as to
give them a trial; bat we now feel assured, from
recent events, that the true interests and welfare
of the Southern pecpU llein a perfectly indepen
dent course. We should stand Gy the President as
long aahe stands by the Constitution and his prin
ciples, and bavenothingto do with either party at
the North. We are satisfied that either would
sacrifice ns rather than remain out of power. We
honor the Democratic party for tho noble stand
they took in tbe recent struggle, but the very mo
ment it abandon* principle and it* conservative
ground.1t lorfeits all claim to our respect. If it
bss been fighting for tbe truth, let it maintain the
truth in detest as well ss in ietory, and not basely
abandon it tor the flesh pots ol the enemy. Tb<-y
need faith, that living, vitalizing, assuring faith
that tbe right, firmly adbeared to, will triumph in
the end. For the country’s sake, we exhort them
to patience. Wc know that "hope deterred msk-
eth the heartsick;" but then they should rcmcm-
Men have got into power in that State, acci- bcrthe promise that "when the deslrecometh.it

dentally and fraudulently, who are a disgrace to
human nature, and who will ever rqmain infa
mous in history. The same thing cannot again
oceur In any Southern State.”
ggrilon. Reverdy Johnson, has rddressed a note
to the Memphis Chamber of Commerce, reiterating
tbe opinion, sometime since given, that the cotton
taxis unconstitutional, and adding, “As to tbe
question, It seems to me to be so free ol difficulty,
when it la well understood, that I shall have every
hope of bringing the Supreme Court to the same
conclusion if I argue it before them.”
Tns Constitution Burnt in tub Public
Stbrsts in Illinois.—One of the methods re
sorted to by tbe Radicals ol Joliet, Ill., to show
their delight at tbe result of the recant election in
that State, was burning the Constitution of the
United States, which was done in the open streets,
amid the most vociferous cheering from tbeciowd
ol partisans assembled. This shows where th
teachings ol stunner and Stevens are leadiug the
people.
Tumble in Pricks.—The decline in cotton, we
are glad to ace, has been accompanied by a general
tumble in breadstuff* and other articles of subsis
tence in the Northern markets. The New York
papers announce the breaking up of various
speculating movements in the necessaries of lile
In that city, which ha* caused a most gratifying
decline In price*. Pork has fallen four dollars a
bar re), wheat from five to eight cents a bushel, and
com eight cents a bushel. Buyers, it is reported,
even at these reduced figures, are very scarce.
MIL J. N. DAVIS—THE* BLIND PHRENOLO
GIST.
The above named gentleman, from Newnan, is a
native of Georgia, and a gentleman of refinement
and education. He was once tbe Editor of the
Literary Companion, and had his office destroyed
by the enemy daring the war; he has, therefore,
been compelled to adopt other methods ol obtain
ing* support. Being an accomplished phrenolo
gist, he makes use of that talent to secure a living,
for himself, wife and children, lor his family are
entirely dependent upou him for a support. About
nine year* ago, Mr. Davis was afflicted with oph
thalmia, which resulted in total bUadnesa. This,
however, doe* not impede his phrenological ex
aminations. He offers his services, as a profession
al phrenologist, to the citizens of Macon, and de
sires us tossy that he may be found at tbe Lacier
House for a day or two. All who desire a knowl
edge of their natural and moral bias, as manilosted
In their crannological developments, are urged to
give him a call.

REVOLUTIONARY DESIGNS OF THE RE
PUBLICANS.
The fntnre policy of the Republicans, so far at
least as the wiB of the party 1* concerned, is now
fnlly proclaimed, and not from Radical sources.—
The New York Times claims to be conservative,
and has, at least nominally, opposed the wild
schemes of that wing ofthe party represented by
such characters as Phillips, Bntler, Forney, Ac.—
We ask attention to aa article copied this morning
from that journal under tbe heading Of "The
North and the Constitutional Amendment” It
refer* to a view of affairs taken by a correspondent
of the London Times, which it characterizes as
"undoubtedly correct.” That view is as follows:
that la the opinion and puposcs of the Northern
majority, "It is a waste ol time to argue about
Stato rights, or to discuss what tho old conetltn-
Uoa does or deee not sanction; that "the people”
(Le.theRepublican majority at the Nertb) “would
•uperaede that Constitution altogether, rather than
run the risk of latllag the South recover it* old
•tray in the Legislature.”
Such it the purpose ol tbe Republicans, openly
proclaimed, and no man need feel any donbt on the
subject herealter.
Now, as the Sooth is clearly In a minority, and
If fully represented in Congress would be far out
numbered by tbe representation from the North,
the “old sway” referred to by tbe Times and the
London correspondent, Is the 6wsy of the South
ern representatives In anion with the conservative
repreientatlvcs of the North; or In other words tbe
away of a majority of the representatives
Of the American people over the minority.
The proposition then is to change the consti
tution ^to as to admit of a government by a
minority, and what Is more, this revo
lution Is to be effected by a minority. And
again: in order to accomplish this revolution, and,
to ore the language ol the Times, to amend the
Constitution "In the light of the trial through
which the Republic has passed,” old forms arc to
bo discarded and the work periormed in accord-
donee with the “teiir' of the Republican
party. That is to be supreme, and nobody
Is to have the right to say whether the Constitu
tion has been lawfully changed or not. We infer
from tbe whole tenor of recent articles in the
Times and other Republican papers, that the Su
preme Court is to be denied all jurisdiction in the
premises, and that tbeir opinions and decision* of
law are to be set at naught.
Such is a fair statement ol the case, ns the reader
will see far himself by consnlting the article re
ferred to.
And now tbe issue is fairly made up. It rests
with the people of the United States tosay whether
they will peaceably acquiesce and live under this
new (ivusaait to be formed by a minority
through an act of revelation. Arc they for the
new Constitution or for the old? Will they rally
to the stars ami stripes, representing the sover
eignty of the people and the rights of the States,
or to tho now mongrel flag Hint is to represent the
ovetthiuw of popular government and thetyranny
ol a minority 7
The question is purely one of force, and wc
leave tlu-m to d<. tide it for themsdres and their
children.
constitntlonal equality but stand faithfully
to tbeir trust. Let them remember that upon
firmness and unflinching fidelity, in this dark
hour of the Republic, hang all the hopes of lib
erty in this Western World. Compromise, par
ley, doubt, and all ia lost.
We trust these backsliding* among a portion
of the Democracy of the North will not be al
lowed to affect the steadfast faith and devotion
to principle of the Southern people. It is a
cowardly abandonment of their position as soon
as it became dangerous. They see the storm
brewing in their own section, and have not the
courage to breast it like men. Their sole object
is to save themselves through our shame and
overthrow. They would make us tbe lamb to be
slain as i. poe »' offering between themselves and
a revolution try ft rtion whom, as true patriots,
lie; s/ cG'd war against to the bitter end. They
may red th**. with onr fall, their last

ever. •
The Rasa*.a— ;>« abcerfnlly give placets tbe
article of “Alderman," explanatory of tho view* of
Council in seeking a lea-simple title to the above
property, It appears that they design, in the
event the hill should pass, to sell for purposes of
cultivation only that portion of the Reserve that is
already cleared and lying in the highlands. There
is no objection to this, and we withdraw all objec
tion to the bill, provided it shall be so worded as
to limit tbe power of tbe city over the property to
the purpose specified, and prohibit forever tbe
felling oi timber on the Reserve. It is safest to
make this provision ia the bill, for Ultra is no tell
ing what future Council* may do.
Since writing the above, we perceive that the
bill has passed the Senate. Ifit does notconlorm
to the views of Council, as set forth by onr corres
pondent, we hope the Iionse will make the neces
sary amendment. There certainly can be no ob
jection from the friend* of the bill, to the pro via
inggeated above.
THE METEORIC SHOWER.
The display of meteors at the appointed time
wa* confined to the Northern States, and chiefly
to New England. We annex a few accounts:
Meteors at Boston.—Bottom, Non. 14.—2.30.—
Large number* of meteors are appearing here,
the people turning out to see them; is supposed
to be the precursor of meteoric showers.
Tor. Display at New Hatrn, Conn.—Nieto Ha
ven, Non. 13.—Last night a party of from twelve
to eighteen observers, under the direction of
Professor Newton, connted from the tower of Al
umni Hall six hundred and ninety-six shooting
stars in five hours and twenty minutes. At
twelve o’clock they came at the rate of about
eighty to tbe hour, increasing to one hundred
and eighty the last hour before dawn; average
for the whole time, one hundred and thirty to
the hour. Not more than one-third were con
formable to the radiant in Leo. Another party,
observing at Sheffield Scientific School, obtained
results agreeing in the main with the above.
^SyThe Louisville Journal says: “The Chicago
Times advises the immediate adoption of negro
snfirage on the alleged ground that “its adoption
sooner or later 1* inevitable.” We don’t see why
the adoption ia inevitable. We can’t perceive
what renders it inevitable.
We say that there is nothing inevitable about
negro-suffrage. If the Southern States want it,
they will adopt it—each State for herself. And, if
they don’t want it, they inevitably won’t have it.
All that is inevitable in tbe business is the inevita
ble maintenance ;and execution of the Southern
wilL"
The Journal is right; so lar as the law is con
cerned, the South is now “master of the situation,”
however painfully those word* may stick in the
throats of the Radicals. If they intend to discard
law and resort to force, all we have to say is, let
then try the experiment as soon as they please.

Flomda Legislature.— Wednesday of last
week was the day appointed for tho assembling
of tbe Florida Legislature, but no quorum was
had until Friday, when Governor Walker sent
in his message. It is a moderate, sensible and
statesmanlike document, and takes strong
ground against tho proposed constitutional
amendment, which it argues at length. Tbe
Floridian says: “ It is not likely that there will
be aDy votes in the Legislature in favor of it."
New Wakkhousk at Albany.—Tho attention
of planters and cotton merchants is invited to
tho card of Messrs. Tift, announcing the early
completion of their new and extensive ware
house, at Albany. It is immediately on tbe
railroad, and consequently, presents peculiar
advantages for shipments, independent of other
liberal terms offered by tho proprietors.
Gazziir Gtsowtxa Consixtatitx.—The N. Y. Tribune,
of Monday, lectures tke New England Radicals in the
following style:
“There are restless spirits in al' parties and sections
who mean to keep the country detracted and agitated
indefinitely; bat they are a very small minority of the
whole people. Faction and folly may give them a tem
porsry ascendancy, but the great majority, who anxi
ously desire peace and eontentment, mu>i l>e badly mis
led if they dp not soon achieve the fruition of their
hopes and efforts.”

tit of another year’s labor in order to enable them

Jlccont«(riictiuii From a Northern
SfuntI Point
There is no doubt that the Southern States suffer
severely by being deprived of representation and the
severing of their proper constitutional relatious with
the general government. The capital of that section
is exhausted, tbe labor system destroyed, the entcr-
S rise crippled, tho railroads out of repair, the farms
emand attention and more thorough culture, the
•ottnn plantations produce but half a crop on account
oftbe disorder that pervades the indnutrial system,
aud the sugar and rice fields in some oftbe States are
barren and unproductive from the same cause. Du
ring tho war many of tho towns and villages were en
tirely obliterated from the map, and in all quarters
mills were burned, barns given to tho flames, bridges
blown up, steamboats sunk, and property of all kinds
swept out of existence. The loss thus inflicted upon
the South tells with direct force upon the products nnd
material prosperity of that portion of the country’, and
relief ran only come from some national action that
will bring back tranquility and repose, and thus in
duce capitalists to aid in Duiidinr up the waste places
of tho South, and putting fresh life and activity into
the business and trade of that section.
A* the property of tho nation springs from the pros
perity of all its parts, it follows that, whatever injures
one section, must injure tho whole. Tbo counties
of a State cannot bo prostrated by bad or unwise legis
lation, and yet the State continue both prosperous and
enterprising. Neither can a nation march on in a ca
reer of progress and national advancement while one-
halt or one-third of tho States composing tho same are
deprived of their rights, the people trampled upon and
interests disregarded. If tho South is prevented from
their adding to the products of the nation, the North
will feel the effects of a decline in the aggregate nation
al wealth. If but half* crop of cotton is produced, the
European balance will have to be paid in coin or its
equivalent, and the effects of that movement will bo
felt as deeply in the North as in the South. A falling
off in the tobacco crop will operate in tho same man
ner. What is lost in the South is lost to the nation,
and tbe whole people mnst bo taxed, cither in money
or labor, to make up the deficiency.
.The truth is that the North and the South are so in
dissolubly wedded by business, trade and commerce,
that one section cannot be crippled by unfair legisla
tion, or partisan laws and ordinances, or excluded
from tho Union of the.States, without tho other be
ing seriously affected in a financial point of view.—
Whatever promotes, stimulates, and advances the
growth, material wealth and prosperity of one section
benefits in almost, if not quite, the same proportion
the interests of the whole, and it was wisely and truly
said by an eminent Southern statesman, that “the
North, therefore, strikes at herself when she strikes at
the South: and fills her own pockets when she en
courages our industry by a generous policy. Eycn a
Northern Congress, therefore, if actuated by motives
cither purely selfish, or broadly patriotic, would foster
the agricultural prosjierity of the South and-desire an
increase of our material wealth, because by so doing
it would promote the well-being and wealth of the
North and of tbe wholo country: that is to say, of the
North both specially and generally.”
This view oftbe question of immediate reconstruc
tion, coming os it does from a section which feels the
deepest interest in a speedy reunion of the States, is
worthy of attention. It affords business men an op-

portunity, now that the election? are over and
complexion of the next Congress is definitely ascer
tained and determined, to look at the issue which now
divides the eouDtry from a Northern standpoint, and
one based upon tbo growth and material development
O'f the whole nation, not tho selfish interests of a sec
tional political party. When thus viewed, it assumes
an aspect which must challenge tbo careful consider
ation of all who arc interested in the future of this
country. Tho longer ten States of tho Union,
tho products of which add hundreds of millions of
dollars yearly to theaggregate wraith of the nation,
are kept out of tho Union, and their prosperity held
in check, tho worse it will be for tbo whole country.
Tbo North does all tbe carrying trade, tbe North
docs almost all tho manufacturing. In tbe Northern
seaports are located all tho great moneyed bouses,
which are particularly benefitted when trade and
business and commcrco are lively and active, and
thus the North is to bo tbo gainer, in a larger sense
oven than tho South, by the adoption ofa policy
which will end tho difficulties between tho sections
and restore the States to their old places in the Union.
Tho North profits in a two-fold way by the
prosperity of the South. In tho first
nstance. they reap a full share of the general prosper*
ity of tho nation, and in the second, they have thoad-
vantago of a greater demand from that section for all
articles manufactured in this. Cotton bought from a
South Carolina planter by a Massachusetts mill-own
er and capitalist, is returned to tho former ata price
which will put a profit of one hundred per cent, into
tho hands of Northern men. In addition to this, if
justico is done to tho South, the States admitted, and
the barrier thus removed which prevents capitalists
from investing in that section, tho demand from all the
late revolted States for articles of general use will be
of such a character as to push business in tho North to
nnnioiooToryct reached since the formation of the
Government.
Prom theso facts and considerations, it is certain
that the true interests of Northern business men and
capitalists lie in tbo direction of such a settlement of
the issues now dividing the country as will admit tho
South to representation at the coming session of Con
gress. Revolutionary action on thepartof that body,
by which the Constitution will bo annulled and un
limited power placed in the hands of Congress, can
only protract tbo controversy and make the final ad
justment more difficult and remote. In the meantimo
all tho true and substantial interests of the nation will
suffer. The products will diminish and the revenues
tail off. This will make necessary the imposition of
more bnrdenscme taxes, the « eight of which must faff
upon the people of this section. If, on the contrary.
Congress acta in such a manner as to unite the States
under the onstitution, and preteet the rights of the
people by the same in.triiment, the industrial interests
of tho whole nation will be refuvennted and the country
begin anew her march in the direction of national re
now n and Individual prosperity. This is the true Nor
thern business view of the question of reconstruction,
and it should be considered by the coming Congress of
the nation.
