Ms. Editob :—lt U perhaps unnec essary to inform you that 1 am an old ironclad D mocrat, if the Jeffersonian school. Ito satisfied that the demo cratic party are right in nil of their ptiociples, and tbit, if this country is ever saved from utter min, it will only be consummated through democratic or ganiz it ions throughout the whole coun try- The Presidential campaign is upon us—this it destined to become a heated one The Chicago Convention has al ready hoisted the name r f Grant and Colfax. The Radical party have great confidence in the success of tbeir cham pions. Perhaps, Grant, with bis "tear honors,’ backed up with his trhlskry proclivities, may make a respectable race for the Presidential chair; but, as to bia ever reaching the destined goal, it is beyond the probabilities. With Pendleton, the wise and pure States man, as our democratic standard bearer, and Ilanoock, the brave soldier and un flinching advocate for the Vice Presi dency, our success is certain, and a glo rious future may yet come upon the whole country. It must he admitted, that the coun try ia now in possession of the Radical party. They have charged npon the democrats the ruin of the Government, and as we have failed to elect to offieo men of oar own stripe, we now commit to their charge the management of the machinery of the Government. While I do not agree with them in the sweep ing charges made against the democratic party of destroying the Government; and willing to admit all they claim for the success of tbeir party organizations and the tiinmph of tbeir principles, it affords the utmost pleasure in remind ing them that the responsibilities cf this great country now rests upon tbtir shoulders : and some twenty five or tbir- ■ ty million* of people will hold their party accountable for the result—if they fail they are doomed to eternal infamy and disgrace. To succeed, they must admit all the States into the Union fall representation in Congress—release the people from the oppressive taxes which aro upon them, and crushing the Ist vestige ot industry and energy among an already depressed people, and repeal the obnoxious and odious ‘iron clad oath," with such improvements in the machinery of our Government, there might, ’at least, be wmo prolability that the South could be induced to be come reconciled to universal suffrage— however objectionable this feature in tbe Republican programme may be to their prior sensibilities. A course of this kind may secure the success of tbeir party ; but, if an opposite be adopted, it mast end in confusion among the peo ple, and ultimately produce a revolution before unknown upofi tbe American eontinont. The perplexirg question of ncyro suf frage, which now distracts the people of the South, is one of great interest, and is the source of much controversy ; but, it will hive to be conceded upon all bands, that the negro is now free —that according to a general law, he is evi denily a citizen, and so reoognined. If, then, be is a ci'xen and free, it follows, as a matter ts course, that he is enti tled to certain inalienable rights, which are guarantied to the t chile fret citizens of the eouotry. More tbau this he need oot expect—more than this he can nev er attain to. Wbile I am not advoca ting the principles of negro suffrage, or Ats right to the ballot-box, yet, I con tend, that in tbo very nature of things, so long as you impose upon bim tbe re sponsibilities of paying taxes, and be is amenable to military duty, and all the .obligations to the Government of any ottl'or oitizeo, then it is right and just that he should participate in and enjoy all thi' ««l political privi leges of other frt?men. Socially, the negro cannot beco.’ nc c o ua l the white man—God baJ ,« ade Lini ot a difforent texture—he > 8 different in form, color, and in all the 4 nh,ysiologieal developments of his organlzati 0L —these are features which cannot, either through education or social interco.’ MSe > undergo a change. Yet, the negro h. ,s mind sufficient, when properly cultiva ted, to enable bim to draw conclusions and decide correctly upon most of the issnes which now interest the country. And,.however humiliating it may be to the prido of those who have heretofore looked npom him in a very different j light, his present moral and political status has inaugurated another feature in nor political drama, which requires our immediate attention as n people.— ! We eannot escape the djlejspia which onr former circumstances have thrown around ns. And now, what are oar con clusions 7 How oan we solve this great problem, which may in future involve the permanency of tbe Government of the United States 7 My impression is, there can be but one answer—but one conclusion—tbe right of tbe ballot-box must he petered to all men alike. In th>. the negro will feel that he has sd equal participation In the management of the Government with that of others, and, tjius be will become stimulated to cultivate bis intellect, and pieparc him self to exercise tbe franobisc in a man * ncr most conducive to the b.st interest, of all concerned. Let u« so direct the future in relatict to tbe colored raoe in this country, as to convince them that tbe siuthern people ire their true friends—that they feel the deepest in-! tercet in their future welfare—that the Sunny South is a climate peculiarly 1 adapted to tbeir prosperity and happi ness, and there need be no fears as to the future of the colored race in tbisj country. Eventually, through proper i training, they will become, msoy of them, prosperous and happy, and they j and their white neighbors will thrive and propper together, without one rip- I pic to mar their peace’ A proper res-j pect for neeeesary distinctions, which govern all societies, will be kept upatj all times, and all this clap-trap jargon about “< quality of the races, social in tercourse,” and a thousand other non sensical conjectures of evil politicians will disappear before the withering torch of sober roaii ias, and stamp. man with intamy who may attempt to advo cate principles so foreign to common senic and reason, for the purposo of ex oiting the prejuoiocs of the ignorant to consumate party organizition?. AN OPINION. Decline of Hie Negro Popula tion. The negro population of Georgia is traveling with giant strides towards total extietion, says the Macon Journal & Messenger. So rapid is the decline, even those living among it oan ses the decrease vtry plainly. At the close of the war all restraints imposed upon servants by virtuous masters were withdrawn, and the freedmen and tbe freedwomen left at perfect liberty to do as they pleased. This quickly resulted —it was astonishing how quick—in al most universal lewdness. It is a world known fact that no race ever yet in creased and fl urished which did not rightly inculcate and enforce, by the power of public opinion, the strictest virtue. Tbe negro, as a race, cares nothing for this, and only practiced in tbe days of bondage habits of mortality because he. was forbidden indulgence in vice. No one now secs one negro infant to twenty tpn yerrs age. Instead of the especial emisaries sent among them by Northern fanatical associations teaching them habits of virtue, they join with them in lewdness, and, by tbeir exam (le, lead many of them on the road of ruin. Tbo white people of the South have, in a measure, lost eontol of this population. Their former functions have been assumed by strolling, irre sponsible men and women wbo bad bad reputations at home, and who fiod among this simple minded race a deli cious field to practice their operations. They arc rapidly destroying the raco pernicious precept and example. A few years will ouly have elapsed bcfi.ro they will not be felt at tbe polls. Improvident aud irregular in their hab its, gluttonous in their diet., devouring improper food, negheted in sickness, mortality is prevailing among all ages to a far greater rxtent than any one dreams of. There are planters who us ed to own five hundred,-who do not now knew of the existence of one hund red of the number. Had they not been freed, that family would to-day number at least seven hundred. The idea that they cither live better or have more freedom dow than they used to, is sim ply rediculons. They neither get the amout to cat, drink or wear To one born and reared among them, and who saw them in better days—days when they were a thousand limes more happy than they are now—tbe dissolv ing view of this black phantom is curi cudy interesting, and equally instruc tive. It shows bow beavcß sometimes create fanatical zeal and phylanthropy for a people.for the purpose of destroy ing them. Assum'Dgthe foim of friend ship, tho work of demolition is made the mere easy and certain ; and the poor victim ooly wakes up in eternity to a ( full realization of tho means which commencing with his moral, waa quick, lv followedby hie bodily death, 'ffo sit as it were, watching a panorama which has elicited the attention of tbe world and of which the world has grown wea ry) roll away, aud rapidly pars irom tbe stag*'* To many it is a mournful sight, to other' i* t* curious, while the philoso phy only , q cea in it following cause and is shocked nor astonished, but sees only U l ® solution of a problem whose every figurl 1 he has studied and understands. Wheat.—The impr«>.esion among farmers, new, is, that there will be a better yield of wheat in this section, than was anticipated a short time .since.

Crops in Floyd and Chatoooa.— The Rome Courier of yesterday learns from persons passing through Floyd and Chattooga counties that tbe rust, being confined to the blade, will not hurt the wheat, About an avertge crop is hoped for Some will be ready to harvest by the 10th of June.

This - com was produced from some pioeureddirect from Mr. Jones, our Consular Agent, directly on his return from Egypt. It needs no different culture from that of other vaiietit-s, and in the Uouth two crops can be raised in one season on the same ground.

When ground and properly bolted, it is equal in color and fineness to wheaten flour. Asa forage crop, by sowing in drills or broadcast, for early feed, there is no kind of corn so well adapt ed to milch cows, and none that will yield half the value in stalk or corn.
