nil these apparent indications of official negli

fn-nts to appropiiate, for the year 1865, over

In ;w it-cur, Mr. Speaker, to the Commifc-
te > biii and the pending amendment. I can
8 e no good reason for impressing cotton when
th : Government can neither export or sell it.
Every man in this House know3 that the gov
ernment cotton in rfiany places is exposed to
the wi ather, without shelter or bagging, and
lotting every hour. Then why impress more
to war-le it 5 But if it should appear that the
(. ivernment can employ it in sustaining 4ts li
i.-ri' sand upholding its ejedit, let us go into
ihe market us heretofore, and purchase it, giv
i just compensation. We might by paying
for it in specie, throw into circulation a large
.mount of the precious metals, and thereby
give substantial afisu.ances to our people that
n intended to place our currency upon a me
tallic basis, and reorganize our finances upon
ttn* principles ot an intelligent political econo
my.
lam still more opposed to the Committee's
bill to tax cotton and tobacco five cents per
pound, ad infinitum. Why sir, five cents per
pound is fitly per cent of the market value up*
on a specie basis. Suppose the producer had
to pay the tax, this would stop its production
ectiiely. Every ouc who is at all conversant
with the iaws of trade and principles of com
merce. knows it often occurs, when an export
duty is laid on a specific article, under the laws
o! supply and demand, that the ax fal son ii o
puwinter. I cannot, therefore, support a meas
ure to lay a tax of five cents a pound on cotton
iv.-.d tobacco, which is to be continued indefi
nitciy, and may by possibility bo an annual
h.tubus on the production of these com modi
ties. The whuhi object, as I understand the
0 numittee, of introducing this bill is lo appre
ciate tbt live hundred million non-taxable
hoods. We certainly ought not to lay an an
nua! tax on cation and tobacco which may
1 on their production and array in perpetual.
antagonism, bondholders and agriculturists.
Mr. Kpe iker, we must abandon ail radical
and revolutionary leidolat-ion, and lay as few
restrictions upon trade as possible and leave it
to the operation of its own uifvhungable laws,
e'er these considerations I shall oppose the nio
■i- -n to recommit the. bdi with the amendment
uid instructions.

[From the Macon Confedera cy ]
THE PHBSIDMT'SOUJKCTIOSS TO JL'DGE
STiil’ilEAfe’ BEBOLETIOXS.
The letter of-President Davis is a curious
document. It is not creditable to him per
son idy. or as the chief officer of the country.
It exhibits him in the light cf a special plead
er, dodging the real issue, and making issues
which do not exist. In this Jetter, he does
do! state fairly the position of those whose
views he is trying to combat, nor meet itsquare
ly-.
' There is not a single word in- Judge Steph
ens’ resolutions, which advocates, or gives the
most distant hint at '‘separate state action,”
or the m.kiog of oeace with the United States
by any sing's State in this Confederacy. No
such id-a could possibly have been entertain
ed by the author of the resolutions, for it is
expressly repudiated in almost so many words
in the sixth re-olution, as every opp will see
by reading that resolution cereiniiy.
. Notwithstanding this, the President very un
fairly i-ndeavoi ed to charge Judge Stephen's and
th se who agreed wiih him on the subject,
wich trying to inaugurate separate State ac
tion —“ distinct action by cac'u State-" are the
tsrnis used; and we suppose the President in
tended by this to leave the impression on the
minds of h?B readers, thaWJudge Stephens and
those actiug with him were trying to induce
the States separately to make ucace with Lin
coln, one at a time,.and leave the Confederate
States Government and its President out of
view altogether. If he did not intend to leave
that impression, why make use of the lan
guage lie did 7 It E not easy to understand it
upon any other hypothesis.
The President then,however, proceeds tosup
pope that“a’i the States of the two hostile fed
erations are to meet in convention,” and taxes
hlsjmagination to hatch anumber of puerile and
childish difficulties in the way of that meeting
ever being consummated, or the possibility
of its assembling. A meeting could only take
place “after an agreement as to the Jime,
pi and terms on which they are tome°t”—
certain the States would -‘never consent, with
out previous agreement as to the terms” on
which they th oil’d meet—no State should,
‘•against its own will, he bound by the decision
of the Convention,” etc., etc.
These objections ere ghal’ow and frivolous.
Senator in his great -peeeh In LnGrange,
the first of March last, advocating a Conven
ti it, said :
“If the General Govt rumente were willing to
| such a Convention of Ike Stales, none but the
States could have any right to object to such
notion, and the r.cspouse of the States would
cure any possible inegqUivities.”
This is the point. If the Governments were
willing, (bore would be no difficulties in the
way ol agreeing upon a time and place of
mestjugs and if Mr. Davis had been willing,
these sdly objections would never have been
mised by him.
But he further urges : It is plain that an
agreement, on the basis that no State should be
bound without its consent, would be an aban
donment on the part cf the North of its pre
tended ri, lit of coercion, and an absolute rec
ognition of the independence of the several
States of the Contederacy. And pray, Mr.
President, whet objection do you have to this?
Is not-this the very thing we are fighting for?
If agreeing to tuch terms, would bri”g such
recognition, why did you oppose the Conven
tion ? Can it be im-.t you are opposed to the
recognition of the independence of the several
States ? Is it the independence of the Confed
erate Government, and not of the several States,
that you and. .STS?
But he continues : It vroiild be so complete
a concession of tl'O rightlulness of our cause,
that (h most visionary cannot hope for such
an agreement in advance of the meeting But
isihia any reason why the President should
put himself in opposition to suph. a Conven
tion t The Democrats of the North, in the
Chicago Convention, had tendered this mode
of attempting lo adjust our differences and
close the war. Why did ho not encourage
them by telling the world he was willing to
pjako a trial of -the plan proposed ? It might
have put- thorn in power, which might have so
paralysed the Bands' of the Lincoln govern
ment that Sherman would never have started
cn his march through Oeoigia, and no attempt
would have been made iQ take lyilqtington.
But again. If eaph State should« agree be
fore hand to be bound by tbe decision of tbe
Convention, it would bo only a form of sub
mission ia Norther!} donrinatisn. us the South
. would he outnumberid nearly 'two to onp,—
What was- the r.eeesr-iiy of making this objec
tion? Who ever proposed that the States
should, in advance, agree tube bound by the
decision of the Convention ? ff’he resolutions
of Judge Stephen?, which tho President was
then considering, expressly specify that the
“appropriate fiction by such a convention,”
would be to “frame and propose a plaii of
peace.” Tiiis is all anybody ever asked for or
desired, except a traitor.
The President can sea no good in a conven
tion which his power only to “meet merely to
debate and pars res inlions that are to bind no
one ’ We shouid ask if, in nvdern times, any
peace commissioners have had any greater
powers than these? . What government would
gr.v.-.t :nv more powers to commisrissionem of
its own apifoimi; g, in bo Weighty a matter?
Has Mr. fiteis given auy greater power to
Messrs. Hunter, Stephens and Campbell, now
gone as bis Commissioners’ to Washington?
iln knows that treaties con only fco concluded
by and with the advice and consent of the Sen
ate. This objection of hia is well nigh dis
graceful.
We might go on with eveiy single point and
statement iu this long letter of the President
aad show (hat they wore all equally flimsy and
dscreditable-to his intellect and station. There,
i.-; not a sound point in the whole letter. It
amounts only to this: lam opposed to any
peace, unless brought sboul ia a way of my
suggesting, and whose negotiations I shall
• have personaliy supericteudad.

son,why the Trans-Mississippi Army was per
mitted to rest in “inglorious ease,” after Banks
was defeated, when Sherman was drawing from
the Federal force, on that side of the liver, to
push Johnston back to Atlanta.
It was reported, and’we have never seen it
dcuied, that the Confederate troops West of the
Mississippi, refused to cross to the East of that
river. Then who ia to blamo? I.; Kirby
Smith?—lf so. till right If we know our
hearts we would be a tfijusand times obliged
to know that tho blamo canid be fixed on any
one military leader iu tho Confederacy. But
it is not so. The President and Secretary Red
don had full and free cqnuauiiicaUoii with
Kirby. Smith for months after (bo defeat of
Banks. They knewtbe situation and they had
full power to order his victorious and idle
t oops to the East, of the river. They prefer
’l 1 to pend 11 marauding party into Missouri.
T i:ey did go; and what is (ho result? Missouri,
which was ovemin by Price, has just voted to
