U e hope they will take tliese j jq I nc j, es apart, cutting up all the grass and committee to draught resolutions expressive of i 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 “Honor and shamo from no condition rise— , % . . .. . . , . . the views of this meeting, and to make suita-l Act welter part-there, ai, the honor lie,."

The committee, after retiring, returned, and presented the following preamble and resolu tions, which were received with the most 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 !

The raising or sheep, therefore, in their opinion, should not be ne glected, as in their fleece we obtain a raw mn- -I.I.L .Unj, .1... y'.,.I.J, ..«t fivim tvkirli 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.

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- whicli all the Farminj ted to attend.
