Several of oar cote mp varies of the Georgia press are di.-cus.-ing the ques tion of the formation of anew party, “embracing all the elements of opp si tion to Radicalism.” It. is argtied tha' the retention of tho I) mocratio organi zation, with that n tine, in an obstacle to the overthrow of the Radicals, and some new orgunizition ought to bo formed, against Which the ph judices etigen sored by former political contests should not be maiu'aiaul. Col. L'n-jui, ir. It is the opinion of several of the Georgia Press as well as somo in otner Southern States, that wo ot the South should not trouble ourselves in regard to a party came, but leave the matter e rtirely in the bauds of Northern op ponents of Ila licalism ; giving as a rea son for their position, that the South can beat llalicalism, no matter what party name we are lrnewu by, and tl at the necessity exists at the North, if necesri ty there be, for a change in the name ot the pirty, opposed to Radicalism ; and, should our fi tends at the N >rth con clude on tho necessity if a change, let them make it, and, having made it, we will follow—they being our van-guard -To view the questi in from some staud points, such a posi ion would stem laudible ; for b iug a down-trodden peo ple— without having any voic r, ) as it were, in the Krai of government, or who is to govern, it would seem, for some reasons, that the better policy would be to remain silent, patiently awaiting the revolution so anxiously looked for, that will enable us to assert our rights; and when it comes g-.vo what strength we Lave to the passing curren*. thus rnaktug more complete tho overthrow of a despotism, not only detrimental to our political salvation, but tho upheaval of society iu all its forms. Wo agree with many that our time can be occupied by instructing the gen eral reader and by tiding the columns of our newspapers with valuable informa tion concerning home affairs—tho ad vancement of the arts and sciences—the development of the mineral wealth of our country, & 0 , hut, at the same time, a perfection of knowledge concerning all these things would be worthless to OS, with ignorance and stupidity at the masthead— men with neitter common sensu nor moral character to receive aul depose of the reveue accruing from our pub ic institutions or from spec lie taxa tion. We admit there is not so tnuoh in a name, but that prinaplc should govern. Vdy wc j] ■ whatever our prim wples are, they couli not be easily un derstood disconnect, and from the name to wLiclr ihey p.rtaia, and, as the two arc linked together, we believe it is our privilige, yea, our duty, to raise our vo.ccs in regard to the principles which arc to goveru us, aud theu to stamp up on those principles a name, that we may know precisely Under what flag we are sailing. VVh,,e we abf »or (ho name of radical, (politically speaking,) *<> aro cot vcr> partial to the name of Democrat; be tween the two, the latter is by far the dearest to us; bur it has boon 'he sub jeot of so many reverses—its platform has been shattered and urn till its vital parts seem to bo so fcatt red that a re-union is almost impossible, aud we are of the opinion tha*, if between tbo North and South we can find true men enough to collect together the scattered fragments of the aneieut Democratic party, let us do so ; if not, let us, in ouc solid phalanx, from Matuo to the liio 0.-ande, assert our rights as freeman, contend for the rights of the principles institieu tn us by our forefathers, viz; a white man's government—a voice and a vote as to who and bow we aro to be governed, &e.; and, if to do this, we have to organize a society, and givo that so ciety a name, what would be the crime ? The sooibty or party, by which we are now governed, has a name, and if wo mistake not, its popular came origin ated in the South. Why be opposed to asserting the principless of the ancient Democratic party, or even helping to form a new one—the platform of which would be broa i enough for every mao to stand upon who is opposed to uni versal suffrage, or the appointment of carpet-baggers aDd scalawags to office ? Rrelbreu of the press, let u- all abide by the laws that govern u~, (for that is the duty of every good oitiz n.) submit to the powers that be, —but let us not be asleep to our political interests ; Dr while asleep we could bo more securely bound, and suffer still more from the ! , onsets of a party whose motto is '-Rule , or Ruin.” Various relics have jus' been sold at 1 auction in Newport, K.

As it is impolitic in domestic econo i my to put nil tho household eggs in | one bosket, sc it in inadvisable in na tional'policy to be dependent on t 0« customer or friend The monopolist of trade or friendship may turn his fa I vi rs iijto n new channel, in which v* ry setio.us detriment may result to the dis carded victim. Great Uiituin and the Uuiied States, however, appear to be putting themselves within lids peril in tho mode of commuting their respec tive trades. The commerce of the two countries 11 m through one channel, in w hich there hapens to be numerous ob - true lions, serious leakages, and not a ti tle hostility. The whole seaboard trade of the United States is concen trated in New York— thither the raw cotton ol' tho South is transported lot shipment to Liverpool; tho manufac tuicd goods of Lancashire pass thro the suuie bauds en route to tho Amer ican consumer, On the eastern coast New Y’oi k enjoys a monopoly of Amor ieun commerce, and it is clearly to the interest of this country to break tho ex clusive power, lest it be wielded against us to the national detriment. On the ground ol economy, too, there are reasons why a wider and freer intercourse should be fostered be tween tho two countries. The South ern States, now rapidly recuperating, will soon again become tho great cot- Um held of the world, and it is impor tant that the raw material should find its way to the Diitisli mills burdened with as few imports as possible. Tho prevailing system makes the New York middlemen rulers of tho market, and adds needless charges to the grow er and manufacturers. Rut the policy of New Y’ork and the rest of the North is antagonistic to free trade. Massa chusetts and its congeners desire to loster local manufactures by a high protective tariff; they would dtive for eign competitors out of the field by dif ferential taxes, and give a non natural stimulus to their homo mills until they are strong enough to stand on their mtiits This country litis already felt the civil ellects of this repressive policy in the diminished export of manufac turod goods Nothing can be dons, we aro afraid to alleviate tho burtlen of the protec tive tariff until the Americans recog nize the fact that impost levied upon tho foreigner, who produces more cheaply than the home manufacturer, aro extra charges upon the retail con sutrter. The system compels the pub lie to pay more for goods than they would bo required to pay if the cheap er commodities of foreigners—who work under more favorable auspices— were admitted froely into the market. The Americans are real'y taxing the community for the advantage of a class, but as yet the folly has not been mudu dear to their understanding The North is chiefly, perhaps solely, favorable to this fallacious principle, its interests being antagonistic to those ol the South The former is a manulac turer desirous of securing the exclusive right of supplying the people, and seeks to promote this policy by sub jecting foreign rivals to burden s me charges. The South, being a grower of raw material, is interested in ob taining manufactured goods at the lowest possible price, irrespective ol the locality of their production; but the North, for the “protection” of its own interest, levies a different tax on for eign goods, which fulls with undue se verity on the South. This state of things cannot bo al tered at present, but its existence is an other strong reason why needless char ges should be avoided on trade with the cotton growing districts. There is no possible reason why raw cotton shou'd be exported, and fotoign goods imported, through New York. It is a circuitous route, involving waste of time and needless expetise. These may bo avoided by the establishment of direct trade between Europe and tiie South. Lot the raw material bo exported direct from Now Orleans, Savannah and Charleston. Let the Manchester manufacturers and the Liverpool brokers deal direct with those ports, or better still, with the planters in the country. And in the same way the manufactured goods re j quired for tfie consumption of the Southerners should bo landed at the nearest port, not shipped to Now York and thence re-shipped to their desti- j nation. All this unnecessary hand ling of articles of trade enhances their selling price, and ultimately lulls ou the consumer. Tt e people of the Southern States are awakening to the importance of establishing direct trade between Eu j rope and their own ports, alike as mat tere of economy and self-iuterest. A Commercial Convention has been! formed at Memphis, whose policy it is to bting prominently and inapract:-j cal form before European capitalists; the profitable field for the employment! of capital in the Southern States. The Association is stated to represent “all the leading men in the South and Southwest,” and to be entirely Yree frotn all political questions. It is a i < mmei'c’al uml economic movement,| in which Liverpi ol possesses exception al concern, and about which we shall learn further in a short time. The .Southern Cotnti.etcjal Conven tion has deputed an authorized repro sentative to visit lie great centres ol commerce in this country and on tin- Continent, in order to give authentic information as to the pr.sent position and future prospects of tho South, and to foster direct trade between the cot ton fields of America and the factories «.f Europe. Mr. F C. Moreheud, the gentleman deputed on this mission, has arrived in Liverpool, and the address lie is about to deliver before the Chains her ol Commerce and the Cotton Sup ply Association will deserve especial attention, from the importance of the subject and the authoritative manner in which it will bo elucidated.— Liver pool Courier. The Fifteenth Amendment. Too obstacles iu the way of the sis teonth amendment aro thickening. The roiu.-al of teu Stales to ratify will kil. it. Thus fat we have against it beyond contingency—Now Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Ojio, Georgia, Calil'uruia —7. A rejection by three more of the States ends the controver sy, aud leaves the settlement of negro suffrage, la its borders, to each Slate.— Cau wo count upon three more? We thiuk so. The Tennessee Legislature, represented by aiui like E budge, will certainly reject it. It Pennsylvania gees tor Packer—aud the picspects for his election are encouraging—she will rescind her former vote. One more State will bo wautiug. We cau get that Sta'e from (Jregan, Indiana, New York, Virginia, Mississippi, Texas, or Maine. Even supposing that the three uerc on-tr ctcd Stator, in order to escape mi.itary rule, should ratify the airend meut, we have still Oregon, Indiana, New York and Maine to fail bauk upon. Relore the requisite number of S ales can be obtaiue f, we think Indiana wilt annul the bogus ratifiratioa which was extorted from her. Oregon will refuse to ratify, if wo may j udge from tbe re sult iu California, aud the dangers which threaten her from Chinese suf frage New York eaunot bo counted for ratification so loug as a Democrat is Governoi. It is truo that her Logialu ture radfied the amendment, hut the old method of ratifying amen iuients was bv an act of the Legislature, ap proved by the Governor. Iu this in stance, only concurrent resolutions were passed, which was an intimation that tbe Legislature considered the business to be exclusively their own. lienee it is that the State Department Las no of ficial notice of its party friends in Al bany, and it devolves upon the next Legislature to rectify the cm r. Will the new Legislature do so? We doubt it. In Maine, a’so, we Lave a cuance. Montyomery Mail. Tito Darkey aud liis Title. Some time since, in Mississippi, a venerable darkey, who bad been led to b lieve that ui;ti his freedom Lc was to receive f ity acres of land and a mule, applied to tha head carpet-bagger of a freedcuau’s bureau for bis ticket to vote his mule aud the title to bis real estate, wheresoever it might bo. Ho voted tbo ticket gives, four little sharpened stakes, two feet long, painted like young bar ber-poles, aud told to select Lis*’forty uores anywhere. For this c rtificate of freedom be was asked ten dollars by the aguut. Hat the darkey bad but four dollars and seven tv-five cents. So tbo loyal keeper of liic new men and brothers compromised for this amount and the brushing of bis clothes aud hoots. After tbo work was finished and the money paid, the agent gave him the sticks or stakos, and a receipt for the pro eruption money, to show in case ihero should be any trouble about lo cating the laud. Tue darkey found on a plantation, near by, fatty acres, moro or less, and drove bis stakes. 'lke owner canio out to know why these thiugs were thus, when tbo darksy told him it was ail right, that be purchased the laud of the Government, and bad tbo bill iu bis pocket.
