objects cvoiy farmer shou il full into
line, buckle on the while armor
and go fo-th to battle for the
rigid, determined to take a highe
st mid and ho no 1 >nger slaves bnt free
men. Let us for a moment vi«*w this sec
tion in our good old ante folium days:
Twenty years ag > almost everybody was
rich aud gio*in» richer; the policy theu
ua* to sow ai d rest tho more worn lauds,
pi nt the bett-r in cotton, re^orvng the
freshest and best for corn with addition
al clearing yearly, a id with an authority
that said unto one “go,and he goetli, and
to another come, and he cotuoth,” but
when the te:rbie depopulating struggle
was over we fouud oil selves stripped of
our authority, our forest felled, no new
lands to clear, and failing to realize and
accept tho s tua ion and to see a ue.tensity
of a change iu our farm economy in the
new order of things. Year by year w
have added link after link to the chains
that fetter 11*, until there is almost a
unanimous wail, against the oppressions
of ihe day. But ull this wailing, bawling
and whining, disorganized ns we buv
been, will neithtr lilt the yoke nor
heal the wound. The question natu
rally arises whoso fault is it ?
Some are wont to attribute it to our labor,
say they svaut too much holiday—to poor
lands, to fine (Less, high freights, and
that we have to pay too much for short
credit. As to the labor, with aH due def
erence to other aud older heads, it is the
best we have ever hud and tho best we
ever will have. Give me the flat nose.
Wo have but to utilize and improve it;
and, although wo are nfteu harassed and
perplexed—almost despairing of ever
making it better—yet when we sit down
to sober reileciion, stripping ourselves as
far as possible of innate prejudices, we
are compelled to admit that they have
done mh wt 11, and perhaps belter, than we
would have done uu-ler siiuil.r cir
cniustunces. And when we remember
Unit our wives and our children wore once
left helplcs ly n» th« ir un rcy, their action
in those trying houis should fill our hearts
with lasting gratitude ; and iike sen-ible
and human being--, w e should take hold
of them, and strive to elevate and qualify
them for an iute ligcnt citizenship. Had
this b en our policy iu the past, quito a
different stato of things would exist to
day. But it is not too late to inaugurate
a wiser policy. Our lands are poor, it i-
tine; but it is iho result of a suicidal
policy, pursued with clo.-od eyes again si
the teaching of the laws of Natnro and
Scieuce.
As-to the others they are but cormo
rant aids, leading us into the wilderness.
Tho true difficulty doe* not lie iu these,
but the truth of tho matter is wo work too
much and iliink too little, and there is
nothing that makes work go so easy as a
holiday poperly spent in recreation, put-
ting new litc into work for a long iiuie
after. 1 repeat it—too much of the
physical and not enough of uumtul labor.
We have tho br.ins, but have neglected
to keep them polished by reading, think
ing, reasoning and study. Another mis
take which, perhaps, the majority of
mankind make, is to suppose that educa
tion completed, you have only to choose
a piofession, glide swiftly and smoothly
imo fortune, or sca e the heights of fame,
while really the battle is only just begun,
and you are tin u only qualified to overcome
difficulties, which seo-u iusuruiuuufublt-
to the uneducated, unreasoning mind.
Again our social statu* is sought (o be im
proved, and as *’iho pebbles upon the
eashore become -mootu and rou.ided by
tubbing together,” t.o wo. by frequent in
teruiitigling, km ck • ff the rough places,
aie m ade happier, more agreeable, and our
tnotal sensibilities quickened.
Wu 1h wo igiioio polui -s, in its general
accept ilion, the discussion of any «1»
questions whi -h aft c, our material inter
ov i« not forbi l-len, and as patrons w
wo dd to ich that all men should be free
to think and free to act. And for a <l-ti
uition of tno teiin pjlitics, we would ie
tec you to the aitdias* of Maj A. U. C it-
noun, on the pobuojl iB-.il*-> of the day,
to the Patrons of Cbmubt-rs, Ala; Ami
the man who has tho boldness to utter Mu
sentiments of th it address, deserves th
support and coulidauce of ev ry lover of
libeity and freedom of sp-ech. *It is but
iho echo of the shrill note sounded by
tho tallest of American statesman, the
Hon. B. H. tl II, bef »r.i the Young M**uV
Dninoeratio Club of Atlanta, in 18(»8,
“that existing parties had fulfilled thfii
mission, and would to God they i ould be
buried.” An i s > long as hoc mtinno to
bow at the slniue of party names, so long
will the ma’erials bo furnished to keep
the fins of hate burning. Wo would haw
you, tut patrous, to risi high above this
partizan spirit, so high that tho flatims
thereof will not produce even a smell
upou your garments.
Let us, then, hold up the hands of the
man or men, who-her born upon Southern
soil, or stand adopted from beyond tho
Itocky Mountains, who propose upon this
line the redempt on of onr down-trodden
South, and let u*, ns Patrons true, not
suffer ourselves so puffed with seT-admi-
ration as that we cannot see onr own er
rors, or so blinded with prejudices that
we cannot see some good in others.
In conclusion, let our motto be to raiso
the fRlior, help the weary, aud do justice
to ull iijou ; not to tear down, as some
suppose, but dig deep and lay our fouu
dation strong, and rear up a building th>»fc
will invigorate and strengthen all laudable
and honorable pursuits, resulting at 1 ist
in bo h S ate and National prosperity, and
remember this great truth, ‘ that individ
ual happiness depends upon general pros
perity.’
It is growing late. I therefore give way
to tho humorous Hudson.

NOMINATION AND PLVTFORM.
Baton Uouue, August 26 —Hon. J. C.
M in in was nominated Treasurer by nc-
elummation, and the Convention then
adjourned.
The pin‘form, which was adopted unan
imously, commences: “We, the white
people.” It declares the dominant fac
tion of tho Radical party in this State
has, by fil.se aud fraudulent representa
tion 1 *, influuod tho passions and preju
dices of the uegro, as a race, against the
ivhit s.
We deny that Congress can constitu
tionally enact laws to f><rce the two races
into nooial u ion or ©quality ? that the
white people of Louisiana have no desire
to deprive the colored people of any
right* to which they aro entitled.
Wo disclaim earnestly any intention of
carrying, or a! tempting to carry, the ap
proaching election by violence.
Wo, however, distinctly state that it is
tho determination of the people to have a
fair election, and t j s^e that the result is
not changod by fraud or violence.
Irrevocably opposed to the recognition
of the dishonest and fraudulent obliga
tions, issued in the name of the State,
we pledge ourselves on the restoration of
tho Government to honest hands, to pro
vide for the payment of the honest in
debtedness of the State.
CONGRESSIONAL nominations.
The Congressional District Convention
have made nominations as follows : Sec

Tilton then responded: “Madam, I had

you with adultery with Mr. It. Nevins, of
Washington.”
Mrs. Ilookcr was stunned and said not
a word. She afterwards admitted that
Victoria Woodbnll had to'd her about
Beecher. Tilton then told her he had his
information of her crime from the tame
source. She cried several minutes, and
finally concluded it would not do for her
to enter Plymouth pulpit and denounce
Beecher.
