nan
Ids family, piy hi? debts, and add to Ids pro
perty*. Many pi inters T dare say will answer,
that they would be glad to make enough cotton
to pay their debts and support their families.—
This may be true ns to some, but in general it
would be more pert than true. Even those who
ate hardest run, purchase orn, salt, negro cloths
«fcc-,"wiih ‘c >ttosi’ money. I doubt if there is
any planter who conUl not produce e ough for
market, beside cotton, to pay for all these
things, and all plantation expenses. Some arc
so situated, that they could sell corn alone suf
ficient for the purpose. Let them increase
their corn crop then to that amount and dimin
ish cotton. Other* agai», if the corn could not
be sold, might feed it to stock a id sell that.—
It will bear transportation, and there is a great
ileal of foreign beef and bacon sold in the cot
ton region. Wacat and flour in the middle and
upper country, could be made to pay these
contingencies. Rice will grow at the foot of
the mountains and command a good price, and
so will tobacco. Many could pay these ex
penses by cutting timber and making shingles,
staves, «S»e. In short, there are few planters in
the whole co'ton region, who might not hv a
little diversion of labor, manage to make what
cotton they do so profitably. Let each plant
er look around him, and sec what his resources
are. I do not invite him to make Ins own
•hnec. hats, blankets, cloths, salt and iron.—
In most cases, others who ore in these lines
can make these tilings and luing them to his
door chcapcrthnn he can make them himself.—
But he can follow the business he understands,
or at least is best prepared to carry on, and
make something else besides cotton to pay for
them.
"1 know the folly of recommending any
measure to planters, requiring any combined
action. I recommend this to each planter for
his own individual advantage, as well ns for the
sake of the whole. Whilo it will diminish the
aggregate crop, if it curtails but a bale, it will
teach each man to be independent, to a certain
extent, of cotton speculators, open his eyes to
his own resources, and gradually prepare the
way for that change of culture which is inevi
table, and at hand, for all those who can not
make a heavy bale to the acre. And I would
add, that every planter should as speedily ns
mmAnna bio outturn lociipl- bind Only BS
will make a heavy hale per acre. If he lies
no such, let him ‘make’ it—manure will soon
do it. Cut down the cotton, increase the corn
and pea crop, pen hogs,cattle Aeverythingclse
on straw, muck, weeds, Jtc. <fcc, and he will
soon have as much laud that will raise him a
bale to the acre as he wantst if he makes no
more cotton than he makes ‘clear.’
“ I preach no more than T practice. I nm a
nuddle-nged planter, and I have nearly always
many preferred during winter, to any other
variety*. It will continue fit for use more than
a month later than any other—and in our genial
climate they can be take* from the ground as
required for use.
The soil particularly adapted to them is tnat
of a deep sandy loam. The ground should be
deeply plowed and put in g*od order, as that
above recommended for common turneps.—
They should be sown the last of July or first of
August, in drills from a foot to eighteen inches;
and, as soon as the plants appear of tolerable
size, thin them to ten inches in the drill, at the
same time give them a good working with llie
hoe—a second working should follow in two or
three weeks, which will usually make the crop.
Caro .’Jiould, however, be taken to draw up the
earth around them as they begin to grow above
the ground. They have been grown on my
place tbe past season, of fine sizej the season,
as will he remembered, was .a dry and un
favorable one. They possess more nutriment,
and arc superior to the common turnep for
milk cows, imparting little or no flavor to the
milk and butter, and as I am satisfied from
experience, that they will succeed, I would

The committee, after retiring, returned, and
presented the following preamble and resolu

cheering applause, and unanimously adopted:
The Democracy of Upson county, with no
ordinary feelings of exultation, congratulate
the people of this wide-spread and mighty re
public upon the brilliant result of the great
struggle through which they have so tiumphant-
ly passed—they have achieved a great and ex
emplary victory, in which Georgia, one ofthe
Old Thirteen, has largely and patriotically
participated. It is a victory of truth and prin
ciple over error and fatuity, by which the pu
rity and strength of our noble institutions have
been illustriously tested, and like gold, twice
tried, have flashed from the crucible more
pure and splendid than ever. Before its over
whelming light the dark spirit of Abolitionism
is struck blind, and the despot of Consolida
tion fears and trembles. Never have people
since the formation of our Constitution achiev
ed such a moral triumph, or exhibited such a
sublime spectacle of public virtue. It will illu
minate the annals of our country in after ages,
and emblazon tho temple of liberty with die
undying maxim that the people are capable of
self-government for God is with them ! Let
us, then, fellow Democrats, use this great vic
tory “as not abusing it,” and return thanks to

too, as renders it necessary that every farmer the usur P cr who would hav * Hunched .t 3 holy
should, in the opinion of your committee, cul
tivate all his resources. The raising or sheep,
therefore, in their opinion, should not be ne
glected, as in their fleece we obtain a raw mn-

fabrics are manufactured wholly indispensable.
Your committee have had little or no expe
rience in the improvement, which they have no
doubt would result from crosses with the South-
down, Bakcwell, Saxony and Merino—and
must, therefore, confino their remarks to what
they conceivo to he the treatment necessary
for the native breed of sheep.
At the commencement of cold weather, say
made my Cotton crop clear. I have suffered middle or last of October, your committee find
mv share in the hard times, and have met, I
think, more than my average of losses : yet I
kept above board without any stringent econ
omy, mainly because I have paid plantation ex
penses by selling corn, peas, oats, »fcc. My
expenses havc been as heavy as any planter’s
of the same force, and tny land probably ns
poor; vet I have kept up chiefly, I think, be
cause I did not have to pay them in a lump at
the end of the year out of my cotton, which
would havc left me so small a surplus, that pro
bably 1 should not have thought it worth tak
ing care of. The balance would have been
mere odds and end?, which few know how to
make toll. I have made corn, &.c. supply my
odds and ends of cash, and appropriated them
as they came to hand to pay current expense?;
nnd when my cotton car<c in. I could do some
thing with my little lump of clcarmonfty. Let
me mu' also, Unit after next year 1 shall not
plant an acre but will (or at least ought to)
yield me 400 lbs. clean cotton. Not one—
and not many I trust next year. Yet my land
in its best natural condition, will not average
half that much. What I adopt for my own
good, and experience has proved to me is for
the good of eTci v planter, both individually
it necessary to commence feeding sheep. Sheaf
oats, corn and fodder, hay or husks, are good.
Green pastures of rye or barley, (’if they have
been prepared,) will in some degree supercede
the necessity of feeding ; and they think im
portant to the well doing of sheep. In the ab
sence of green lots they should he permitted to
browze about in o'd fields, about branch sides
nnd in wood pastures in dry weather, in addi-
tion to ihe feed they receive. Ewes, nt the
time they bring forth their young, should be
carefully kept from among hogs, or the lambs
will be destroyed by them. Lambs, when
young, are quite tender, and should for a few
days have special attention, nnd they with their
d ms should have shelter provided for them
during severe weather. About the middle or
last of March, ull may be turned to grass. It
is thought they are more healthy when kept on
short grass, as long grass will frequently pro
duce scours and destroy many*.
Shearing should be done about the full moon
effulgence in the gloomy gulfof Despotism
Resolved then. In view of tliese great and s*.ul-
stirring events, it becomes us as a free, vir
tuous, nnd independent people, to rejoice and
pour forth our gratitude far tfie great political
blessings which mis aigmO wncmimroy of cor
rect principles is so well calculated to promote
and consummate. Wc, therefore, hail the e-
leciion of JAMES K. POLK and GEORGE
M. DALLAS to the Presidency and Vici? Pre
sidency of these United States, as a moral, po
litical, and constitutional vicior.y that will prove
more important in its results and more per
manent in its beneficial influences upon the
religious and civic institutions, and upon
the foreign and domestic character of our go
vernment, than even the splendid revolution
of 1800, which prostrated the old Federal dy*-
nasty, put an cud to the American reign of
Terror, and established upon its ruins the De
mocratic doctrines and pure principles of their
great founder, the illustrious Jefferson.
Resolved, That we look upon the great ma?s
of the Whigs in the State of Georgia as well
meaning, patriotic, but misguided men, who
have been deluded by their leaders for the sole
purpose «f aggrandizing themselves, even at
the sacrifice of the best interests of the South.
To that great mass, then, we tender the heart
and hand oflratcrnal fellowship, in full con
fidence that the time is not distant when they
will zealously unite with the Democracy of
the country* in driving from our councils the
men who have so flagrantly deceived them and
abused their confidence and support.
Resolved, That the charge 3gainst James K.
Polk of having formed a coalition with the Ab-
“Facfs which want Guaranty A’
None are so blind as those who will not see.
In a late number, we endeavored to shew that j tbe demand called for ?

Cotton. The united action of which two caus
es, has "been to carry the supply too high for
the demand, and of consequence to affect prices
unfavorably.
Our effort was, to- state our ideas in such
plain terms, that u way-faring man, though no
linen] descendant of the wise potentate of lsra
el, might not misunderstand. But it seems
that *.ve have not succeeded. O ie wiseacre
sagi-Iy tells us in answer to our article, that
“the reason why Cotton is at such low prices, is
that the supply exceeds the consumption.”
That is just what we state 1, an J tried to ex
plain why it Is so
Another paper, in an adjoining town makes
issue with us, and thinks “our facts want gua
ranty, and especially that some of the conclu
sions arrived at, are erroneous.” Of the latter
objection, we have nothing to complain, as the
Editor’s replies arc too few and Yague. And
even if they were stated at greater length, and
more explicitly, wc know too well the moral of
the old fable, of ‘‘the parti-colored shield,” to
find fault with those who diflir with us in o-
pinion.
But as to our facts, which, in his opinion,
“want guaranty,” we feel called on to give
him our authotity for them. The facts we
based our argument on, were of two kinds;
1st. Such as are of record, in the archives of
the Government ; and 2d. Such as are of so
general notoriety, as we thought had become a
part of the history of the past.
Of the first, we can only refer him to the re
port of the Secretary of the Treasury, w ho is
usually esteemed good authority*, at the Capi
tol of the United States, we believe, if not in tho
Capitol of the State. He will find there, that
the imports of the country, tell far short of the
exports, for the time in question, an I that the
balance was made up by imports of specie.
That money* was redundant in New York, at
the period alluded to. lie will find bv reference
to the money art’clcs cf the Herald, or anv
other paper of that city*. “Money plenty in
deed !!” ejaculates the editor, with two great
mark* of unbelieving exclamation, after his
period, ns though money never could, by any
possibility, be plenty*, when the Central Bank,
had ceased to make distributions. But such
was the case, although the editor may have
failed to read his exchange papers regularly
last winter.
We are .not apprized, of which table of prices
current, he quotes from, iu saying “the pric<* of
Cotton duriog this speculation, never we believe
exceeded six cents.” As the editor’s lot has
not been cast “where merchants most do con-
