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.”

Direct Trade With flic froulli.
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

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.

Tito Darkey aud liis Title.
Some time since, in Mississippi, a

applied to tha head carpet-bagger of a
freedcuau’s bureau for bis ticket to vote

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

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
