TO Tin: PLANTERS
OF
THOMAS COUNTY.
The question of labor and j
food for tiie coining year is a ;
very serious one, and a large
■ numbpr of liborers will be
thrown out of employment.— j
It is highly import,ant that the
Planters should have some de
finite plan fixed, so that labor
naiy ho obtained for the com
ing year that will be fair to he
planter and afford a good home
lo the laborer.
For that purpose the fnnn-
I era and laborers o' th : s county
j are respectfully invited to at
tend a Meeting at ti e Court
1 House on Saturday the 14 h
i instant.
MANY PLANTERS.
THE RIGHT MOVE.
A number of respectable planters
have united in calling a meeting of the
j plnnte'g of the county, on Sa'urday
the lltli inst , t• >r the purpose of coti>
sideling the labor question and food
tor the coming year. Let every plan
ter read the call for the meeting, and
layit g everything aside, he present on
that day. It is a question that con
cerns every farmer, and die prosperi
ty of the county depends upon un
iiimity and wisdotu in the action taken
As ii alters now-murid there will boa
veiy large number of laborers thrown
out of employment,, who, if neglected,
o ay not only become troublesome, but
j an absolute evil upon the country. —
Already depredations l.ave commune
| cd all over the couoly, and if ill -re is
so tn noli emu la in t at this early pc iml
of the season, what will it be next
Sprii.g and Summer, when corn wdl
be scarce, meat even nin e so and ut
exliorbitant prices '( These things
lanuot be o'ei looked 'by a wise and
puid'Oit people, and steps must beta
; ken to prevent the threatened evil
i Wo have no doubt that such a nicoti
mg us the one proposed will be able to
do much good, and greatly m;ttigate,i!
not comely avert, toe evii.
WHAT ARE WE TO DO ?
This question is asked ns every day
by many persons, fanners meeliatiios,
j Merchants, Artis ns and others, who
I feel that the fall in Cotton, the par*
! toil failure of the crops, the scarcity
I of motley, the uncertainty of labor
land the political struggle going on
1 between Con l'e-s and the people are
j daily reducing tho country nearer in and
; nearer to I lie brink of rum We shall
undertake to answer tt, though to
j many, our effort may seem presump
tion. In the first place, We white
j |<dks oft lip South euiinot'cliaiigu Con
gress at present, and we must let that
go waiting patiently lbr our salvation
it will suiely cemo We cun not now
remedy the partial failure of the last
[ crop, and it is folly to “cry over spill
j milk,” But wo can deal with the
I resent and the future, at.d therefore
wo may in some degree remedy the
labor question, and provide against
future want veil though money should
again be scarce. Wo Imvo once be
fore asserted in this paper “ that no
people cimhl he Duelly hurt who had
plenty to eat.’’ The want of fond,
vvi:l he found, on cl >so cxaiuinati ti,
to lie the chief foundation stone oi all
j oui present discontents.
Fill every mui,s crib and smoke
home with com and bacon and you
never saw more pleasant faces than
would immediately appear. Polities i
| would be discussed and the Dad eal- 1
i denounced, but there Would he no

i prospect of more ability in the future,
and go elieeiTuliy to work fur the ben•

Our advice is therefore, that every
mao go to murk v.ith all Ins might to
Imug about this staleol affairs. Woik
wiili a t i'll throw ofl'youi coats and
I ut on that you so i Hen u-e when
you wish to cairy your point against
an adversary The adversary you

id your steel —he is lank, lean and go

his counsel destinys the hauiieny and
peace of nations. As the Hyena lob
loves alter the Lyon, so he is the faith
ful follower ul 1 ug desolating wars.—
What liie and the sword has left, hi
invariably and r-dontle-sly sweeps
away. It is need Iss to cull his name,
lor his presence has been tip in the
South, though he I as not yet laid his
liana on our doubly blessid commu
nity. Let us beware thin, lest by
neglect or oversight we invito him
among u-\ Le* evety man forsake
idleness and ban sli ail needless appro
hens oils. Let every one cease to
complain and go to work preparing
i land for the next crop. I, t the fen
j ces all be repaired and let the poor
land he well manured. Dig around
and care well for the fruit trees and
iet those who have none, set them out
at once. Let all pr parationg he made
to have everything in order for the j
Spring and-’when tlie season arrives
plant as much ns your industrious
hands can cultivate well and no more.
Let cotton alone, for it has often de-- ;
ceived you and will dsceive you again, j
if you trust it. If you plant, it at all j
plant very little, hut be sure of a full.
crop of provisions. Do these tiring.-
and pray God earnestly ad fervently
to bless your labor and He will do it.

Tho President's Message.
\Y v tltNo liiN, December 3 —fiie
following i- a synopsis i.f the I’ivsi
dent’s Annual Me— age. which w.is
read in both hou-es ol ('oiigre.-s to
day :
’] he lacs dent -ays: The fist du’y
at the close of t. e civil war was to
icpuir injuries and -l eme the bem tits
o t e enl war’s lessons at the earli
est moment Thi* dutv was promptly
accepted bv the Executive, ad he
lostotatioti of the insurrectionary
Stale-, in the first moment- of peace,
.Ul believed to be »s us. and e it on
a- tilde-pens ible.
These expectations were disappoin
ted bv leg slat! m, :m<l tl w there is
n lllium, where one St .to is u* lice
as an ithet to regulate its internal af
fairs ecot ing to is.* own will. An
t lull a ,iio argument tallows the propo
sition )
I he t ii ion and Constitution are tn
separable. V- ong as one IS obeyed
tlie other r.ll be pri'served, tai l tl
one is destroyed, bolt must perish to
gether. Tlic-r' is no military or other
necessity, real or pretended, which
can prevent obedience to the Consti
tution, either North or South. The
hope that we may ultimately concur
in a plan of settlement con-istent with
our true interests and sworn duties, is
too natural and two just to be eas.ly
abandoned.
It is clear to the President’s appre
hension that the States lately in re
bellion are st II members of tlie Union.
The Executive mv predecessor—as
well as rnvsolf and the head* of all
Departments, have ad >pt *<) and acted
up in the principle that the Union is !
not dissolved; but is indisoluble.—
Congress su mitted an amendment to i
tlie Constitution to the So thorn Slates
and excepted their act* of rattfieat’on.
The Judges of the Supreme Court i
have included Southern Sta'cs in
their Districts. I.! the Southern States i
are component parts of the Union,
then tho Constitution is the supreme i
law for them, as for all other States. I
They are bound to obey it and so are we.
Being sincerely convinced that these i
views are correct, the President re- i
commends the repeal of acts placing ;
the Southern States under military ■
masters.
The conflict between the Reconi
strupiion Acts and the rights of the '
people under tho Constitution is ar.
good and illustrate I at Icng'li.
Alluding to negro suffrage’, the Pres
ident says tho subjection of States to :
negro dominion will be worse than the i
existing military despotism. People
will endure endless military oppres
sion, lather than degrade themselves
by s bj.-et'o'i ti the negro race.
Tii" 1-1 ck are entitled to be well
and luiaianlv governed, but if it, were
p s-ib'e to give them a government of
ilieir own, it would become a grave
question whether we ought to do so,
ir whether e, iiininn humanity would
not r"qu,re u- to save (hem from them
selves. But it is not proposed that,
they shall only govern themselves, hut
that they shall govern the white race i
and to a greater or less extent, com
hoi the destiny of the whole country
l’iie negro chaiaccr is contrasted with
ibe virtue, intelligence and spirit of
progress of the white race Tno n.‘>
gro population i* cnntiasted with im
migrants, and the different terms of
oqiiiring citiz-.u-hip and franchise
are stated.
The President yields to no man in
attachment taa rule far g -octal sul
t.age I o' it requires ot some cDs c- a
I time suit,aid tor probation and pre
pa 'ati m. T i transf r oui p ilitic il im

liie President’ll opinion, b an abau
donment o a duty which woowe, alike,
