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.

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 ti ivv have to deal with is one worthy id your steel —he is lank, lean and go ry—tna i k him will, for when In strikes h pi'n.-tiati s w hole clus-es and his counsel destinys the hauiieny and peace of nations.

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.

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.
