The Colton Crop ami the Fret dmen Feeling at tic South —Hatred of Massachusetts —Southern Ignorance and prejudice The Frtsident's Supporters—One Kind of Patriot ism—A General View of Things. Savannah, Ga, May 2S, 186 G Mr. Editor It you read all the ‘estimates arid theories concerning the cotton crop, now being published, you will probably be as wise at the conclu sion as when you began to read; tor different Writers give the statisDcs an the very best of inferences for thtee million bales, two million, oil? and a half, <Scc., and it l should undertake the j ib, I should be lost in a labyrinth of figures. In conversation wi:h plan ters who come to Savannah to market, and in a recent tour to southwestern Georgia and thence through the State of Florida, I have been forcibly -truck by one peculiarity Every nan says h:s' freeduinn arc doirg very Well, much better than he expected, &3., and that he will have a “right smart chance of a crop/’ but in the next county, lie ■.understands, they are jery lazy, and there will be scarcely any c'.rfln raised. I do not remember a single exception to this rule among al I have conversed with, and 1 made it a point to ask every man I met. I think it a lair inference that r uffy is doing well, and disproving the theory so popular con cerning his worse condition since be ing made a ritizen Four c.rops are the result, in ma-y localities, of plan ting seed which has lain in the cotton, ungiuned, since the crop of 1860, i lie cotton gradually absorbs the oil ‘rom the seed, and though tits Seed may germinate, the young plant soon dies for want ot th- t stimulating-oil. This theory seems very plausible, and facts from scores of plantations .are proving,it. The owners, after plan ting twice w'th cotton seed, have gone over the ground a third time and put in corn. Though the er<'ps of cotton promise, very poorly in the localities. I have v s.ted, there seems to be an abundant, harvest of rtb<ls- —such a crop ,as wotlbl gladden the heart of the vilest copperhead I know in Lynn. After the surrender, the government might have procecd‘‘d wi’h any measures, and th f would have fe't thankrul if only their lives were spared, fir they felt whipped, and guilty ; but now there is not a right of a loyal man they do not claim for themselves, and’ h ive no favors to. ask. The leniency of the government in pouncing upon the poor tool VYirtz, and choking him to.death, and then advertis ng pardons bv the wholesile for t very scamp who-eould be induced to accept one, is now bringing iorth its legitimate-fruits. Every loyal State and section is now blamed for all the trouble of the past bloody years The radicals arc the only nutional sinners, and Ought to be, bung, after being and -awn and quartered. -Massachusetts they regard (if we believe their words) as the vilest -sink of iniquity. One rampag-ious rebel declared to me. down in Florid i, that he would .willingly work a year for nothing, and boa and himself; to wheil Massachusetts out into the-ocean, and dump her beneath the waves, so that riot a.stick nor stone should be left .within her present boun daries. This sentiment was applaud ed by the dozen rebels present, while 1, poor Y;nk, alore had to enter my protest against- such a wheelbarrow excursion. The rebs seem to be agreed that slavery has‘-.gone up;’'tiiey have no hopes of its revival. But. if they had. only the President to deal with, they would not give up so, by any means A thiid power comes in for a hearing on that point-— ’ uffy himself, to say nothing rf.Congress and the North.- - On reconstruction they a e not agtecd,. most of them seeing no necessity for it,, only to admit to Con. ress such rebels as they choose to send. The idea of the political equality of the 1 egro is most galling. They call it ‘‘putting the nig. er over then),’’ and many declare they would rather fight four years more than.subniit to such a thing I tell them it would be a fair race, ana no unprejudiced person can object wit hout confessing his own infe riority. If the negro’s ability will allow him to lead, then lie ought to,- and the inferior race, whatever ip color, fall in thG rear. If the brains of the poor white trash cannot Pad., they must take the back seats. Th s is a speech I heard an inteli gent white man (not ‘-Jeff. Davis’ coachman”; deliver in the Southern corner of this State : “I tell yer what ’tis, boys, es Congris pisses that bill ov< r the President - veto, he'll jes take Congris and lock ’em urn The Con stitution gives him the right to, any time they pass an unconstitutional thing, and Andy's jes’ the boy to do it, too. Hell straighten ’em out, and give the radicals hell, for he’s got the army with him. and he's commander” Only one man in all the crowd express ed a d’ übt as to the power or disposi tion of ‘ Andy’’ on the subject, arid all thought it shuuld be done at once. I can add my testimony, most em phatically that th> se who laud the Pusident to the skies, are the bitter est rebels, and say they are only over powered—that the next election will show where they stand, &c They praise Andy, and damn Congress.— Tliomasville, Georgia, ’Wednesday,: - July 25,1866. They exalt the veto pow r to heaven, and consign to the warmest regions Charles Sumner and the Bay State. And why? Simply becau-e the form er are friends of treason and rebellion and the latter of loyalty and patriot ism. The press of this whole region, with only here, and there an exception, is doing all it can to foster and keep alive ihe enmity to the general government, except in the pardon and patronage departments Better the States should be as was. once boasted of that heathen ish corner of Eastern Virginia, when it# representative exulted that there was not a newspaper published in all the region; for’ certainly ignorance o-f such teachings would ie bliss indeed. The inperfect mail facilities keep.many who can read in utter ignorance of what is going on ia the country. • A man from South Carolina was in town a few days ago, and asked, me the la test news—what Congress was g< ing to do with the President ? lie said the latest he knew was .that Congress had impeached him, and he expected they would hang him. Ig ve him a bun dle ol good Republican papers, and I presume when he peruses them he will think that the eountry is ruined surely. . A companion from the same State expressed his heartfelt pity for the devil, saying that “when all the Yan kees get to. hell they, will just turn him out, sure.’’ They have little idea what a live lank is--only that.he is something awfupy wicked, and. they are very sorry they can’t ■ suppress him. . - • .• .• A man in Florida capped the cli max for ignorance, the other day, when he came into . Lake City from the woods lie had just heard someone speak of Lee’s surrender, but Coul 1 not be made to believe itT “No,” said he; “I hearn tell, a right smart spell’ ago, that the Yanks had got Rich mond, but as for old Bob Lee’s surren dering, he hairit dine no such-thing; He haint the boy for that, for I’ve been in his army once myself, and I know him ; he won’t do it/’ i hese are the foul-mouthed patriots who rave at the test oath, and. curse. Massachusetts, lor her loyalty; who. reproach her for having a common. school system, and boast that they, never had any; who don’t seeiii to know th .1 anything has happened -for the past four years, except the. fact that they have lost’ some cotton; and have .to work themselves and. pa'y .for ‘ the labor ol a blackmail. They are an abused people, and the radicals . of Massachusetts have a Tearful load of, sin to answer sos in plunging the na tion in war. . It seems as though this generation must pass away.before the right state of feeding will prevail! Better a cen tury, than that the governmet t should now yield to the demands, of men whose hands are dripping with blood from loyal hearts. Let ‘ ongress see that the President’s words shall be proved true in spite of himself, name ly, that “treason is a crime.” But neither your space or your readers patience will find room lor more. Yours truly, . . VwM.L, PEABODY. ; -+ % 4s ♦ The Design* of the liadieals—Speech of Wendell Phillips. It has been said that Wendell Phil lips is not only the riiost, brilliant prafor in the Radipul party,’ but has more. I rains than all the rest of it- leaders, and that what he-advocates to-day his party will advocate within twelve months. He is at. any rate a candid, nutsp’ ken fanatic, and never leave's his hearers in doubt as to bis .princi ples or purposes. On the 4th of J uly he nade: .one of his. characteristic speeches in Boston, following two ne gro orators. lie commenced thus :'. ‘“This is the 4th da of July; the • day which for ninety years the nation has devoted to the sublime idea that all men arc created equal; but we all know.that these words have, been for nearly ninety years a glittering gener ality and’ cruel lie— : empty arid idle words, coming from hypocritical lips.” Then lollowed this dogmatic a-sser-. tion : • . ‘ • ■ “N'o man was ever born so weak .that he and and not know better how to protect his own enterests than anothe-r could pr> tect them for him.’’ This would be’ a fine world if.this latter statement were true. \\ e .know not only many negroes but a few whites who would be better off if they had someone to “protect their interests ”• But this by the way. Let us come to his political outgivings And, first, here is his present platform and the prospective platform of the Radicals : “Admit no State for the present, hold it under the sword till its high ways are sale to Northern travellers and its marts ot Business safe for Northern capital. Admit no rebel Btate, even then, till the land, educa tion, and the ballot, under the sanctity ol the Federal authority, are the secure inheritance of every man born on its soil.” [Applause] He advocates this platform because, so he says, the land and the ballot box control every eountry, especially the land, which also controls the ballot box. Hear him : “Men and influences pass away; but there are certain things and cer tain great elements whose influences ‘ you can calculate as the astronomer j calculates-the motion.of a star. Fan 1, j capital,.and the ballot are things its ] durably as tlie- nbrth star.,, and their i iflyence* arc just as calculable as the j imon. My advice therefore, is, trust [ men no-longer; trust ca-pital trust the j ballot, trust land, trust Knowledge, hut. never trust men..’ Tell’ me not vhat- Ahck Stephens, tell me pot what Roger I’rvot believe ; tell me. not what. GwV. Aiken has been whipped into. 1 <io no-t case a jot for it. I want the laud of South Carolina upon my side;’ 1 want the ballot'boy of South. Caroli na upon my. side, and. its capital upon’ my side; l want the same elements of trust an t confidence to make the South the same image we have’ made the West. •’ *: * ■•’ ■ ; • /•I am apprehensive! not of the abso lute future, for 1. believe in God and . justice;- hut my apprehension covers . the next dozen or sixteen years, that cover an epoch in which the still pow erful white race of the Sou* h will strive to regain possession or the State- Govi eminent machinery, anil to weild it against the possibility •of national peac\ My apprehension is with re gard to State sovereignty, still strong enough to commit treason. I would cut down State sovereignty, by con gressional act or constitutional amend uie.'it, so much as to allow the Federal Government to arrange po'itical riel its and to p.ioiect the eivd privileges of its citizen’s within the several States My apprehension extends to that race to whom wo are bound by such ties of gratitude, and who are left to be ground up by the terrible hatred of their form er masters. How do’ wo stand to-day.. The South rabies her broken lines, mar shals her scattered forces, and her pohey is to restore as closely as possi ble and as exactly as possib'e, the : Union as it was—yes, and if possible, the Constitution as it was; not ode word, not one clause alt red, not one clause added since 18t>0. • I Say the South to-day indulges the hope that in the eontiugences and chances of ! polites she may yet be a! le to carry . that point. Who leads her? The Fres’dent who is her general-in~ehief. lie is encamped in the White House; and he pledges the policy .’ f the United States to second the plot of Southern politician's to roll back the revolution. Well,-the President is a great’ force.—-’ It-is idle to ignore tile fact-that tlje ■ tenant of the'White House,, with the patropage es the Government behind him, euri almost guarantee success to’ whatever party he lends his weight. Congress lus surrendered the point in issue —surrendered the exact ques tion on which, depends the character of the future. ■ Look at it. A barhar ous and a civilized community can never be united under one government on equal terms. The result- must, be . conflict. In order that barbarism and civilization should be united under one government, one or the other must be. j able to control its rival for ‘the time being. If you except’ this, in the future the North must have a right to carry its civilization into the barbarbu- ’ South. The civilized North, must have a right within the national girdle . to control t e barbarism, of its neigh bor. Now, what controls the Go-vein-- ment ? Two elements—land and the ballot box. Land Owns- the govern ment: Th ft class which owns land will be able tomouid tl?e Government It always has been so., aud always will be. What made the democratic revo lution possible in France in 1789 ? Because. its nobles had parted wi-th their lands, and because the French j peasants got possession .of them' — What then made, and still makes a democratic revolution impossible in England-? „ Because the-n and. now the ruliiig-class of England held the- land iu its own hands.’ The South knows j this, and pledges.herself to beep the lan-ds of the South out of the hands of. {lie negroes. On this she plants the currier stone of her policy, in the .firm-. est pcsible manner. • On the other hand is the ballot, “the o-nly possible thing that can Control the normal rule oi all governments. Landis the bal lot box. In our reconstruction scheme ; these two items are the primary ones, -j ihe ballot box is indispensable. Wi’h j it all .the others range themselves in proportion ;• without it there is hardly j a possibility of salvation. Now, on j this subject Congress surrenders the i two points —the land of the United; State* and the ballot ‘I bus, infa mously beyond all words, meanly be yond all -desription, Congress deliber ately gives up its friend to the hand ot their enemy, and declares the war ended, and places the loyalists cf the rebel iStates under the iron heels of their -oppressors. [Applause] *■ - : The Cabinet Crisis—Commencement of a l> i ol ■■ lion. Close upon the heels of a change of the Biiti h ministry we have a minis terial crisis at \\ asbir gton. The very atmosphere in the Old World and the New seems to be charged with the elements of change and reconstruction. Postmaster General Denison has r:- signed cn grounds of political differen ces with the President, Attorney Gen eral Speed is r. ported to have followed his example and secretaties Stanton and Hat lan are expected to follow. To the independents’ Randall, Doolittle, and Dixon. call for a Union Johnson. National Convention in Ppilidelphia, it appears, we are indebted.lor this com-, mencemen''of a-dissolution, and the story may be briefly told. • •’ Within the last thirty-six -hours there has been some very remarkable’ and momentous movement- at .Wash- ■ in.ton in. the way qf political recon.- .strm.-tiVm. I'he call for an independ ent National Johnson Union Con yen-* tipn at Philadelphia has-resulted in an’ extraordinary effervescence among the old political elements, and .espe--’ cially among tue radicals of .-Congress. As John Minor Butts, in. the days of the dd Whig party, declared, - iti ref erence to Captain’ Tyler, .“We wi 1-1 head him .or .die,’’ so- has “old Thad Stevens”, issued bis edict, and all his fq'lowers say “Amen.!” in regard .to the heading or beheading of Andrew Johnson. ‘. Tins proposed Ph.ilidcl; hia , Convention, as it appears, has Satisfied even Senatoi Wilson at last that the President has gone over t-i the Copper heads, and -so,; without lnincing the matter any longer, he is to be beaded off, circumvented and pat doyvu. To accomplish this object, three combined movements were imd retaken. First, the radie and caucus, which, has pronounced against this proposed Phil adelphia Johnson’ National Jn.on Con vention in August; ‘ eeqndly, a eouu terconventioh in Philadelphia, in Sep tember, of Southern radical republi-’ cans, and, thiidly r a supporting move ment among’ the .radical. elements of the’ Cabinet. By the first of thes". agencies it is expected tlie whole ra: k and file of the republican organization not personally bound to she admi. is tration will be whipped into Hue ; by . the second device tins formation of an active Southern party iti support of j Congress and in opposition to the. President, is anticipated ;- and by the last expedient, of a mutiny in thp-j Cabinet, the. radicals doubtless desire ; to push Mr. Johnson to the extremity of submission to Congress or to the alternative of a Cabinet reorganization:’ wh le the two houses are still in’sess ion, so that the Senate may at once be ] al le to pass’ its judgement, vea or pay, ; upon the nominations pj-ade. This is bringing the ‘‘irrepressible ; confllict” to a tight at close quarters. What will be the cons q.uences ? We remember that when the old dominant whig party of Congress of 1841 were .about to issue their edict of excommu nication against President Tyler,. Dan iel Webster,. his Secietary of State, ; inherited from General Harrison, ; touchingly inquired, in view of this ‘ rupture, “Where am I to go:’’ Mr. Seward is- now in the same predica ment; and like Webster, f -r a little .while longer, he has probably conclu de! to take’ hi? -chances with the ! Administration—Pliladelpbh Johrrsou Convention and all But this is the Johnson pill which the amiable Post master . General, Denison, of Ohio, I as peremtorily refused to swallow, and a similar refusal is expected or reported from Messrs. Stanton, Harlan and Spiced. The.other two Cabinet meui- . bers,. Messrs. McCulloch and Welles. L is thought, will still prefer to go. with Mt;. Seward for the bird in the j hand to all t’ e birds hi the bush, even though put to the test of’ endorsing i this Job: sonian National Conservative Convention.- But will the President apply This- -tos-t ? Thaddeus Stevens •and the radical -caucus have thrown down the gauntlet, and the. Pr sident,- we think, must either take it up or j surrender at discretion. He must, •being driven to. the. wall, proceed to j bring his Cabinet to the'test raised by his enemies, or he must abandon his ] Philadelphia Convention, his policy] and his party, and admit his Aduiinia •tiation a failure. • The Cabinet Collapse, at all events, has eotmirenc.ed, aid a reconstruction may be considered inevitable. We have had the. cry of “wolf, wolf” so j often repeated that it has for some time been utterly disregarded ;” but the wolf lias now really entered she fold, and ‘be black sheep, it is reason able to suppose, ‘v ill all be sai-rificad. We are still in the midst of the gicat .est events of the nineteenth century, and neither congress nor cabinets can stand still. They must advance with the sp rit of the age,, or they will be displaced,— A V. Y. Herald. now it iso. sam wi m. liams. TREATED A KOKTIIEKX MISSIONARY.
