the proposition of Mr. Klllar for
the purchase of the city's stock in the

We have long seen and felt the im
portance and danger of that prodig
ioug one man power which is wielded
by Secretary BOCTWKtX on pretense
of paying olf the public debt and en
nancing tne value ot tlie currency.
Whether he or his friends may have
used it for pris-ate advantage is not so
momentous an is.ue to the country a
i-the question of what is the extent
of theevil and how the possibility of
such an abuse iu future may be pre
vented. In our yesterday's edition
we published au article from (Jen.
Albert PiKEon this subj.s t, which,
like what else conies from his pen,
lurnishe- food for rethvtioti, and ha
doubtless arrested the attention ol our
readers. We commend it to the es
pecial attention of the planting com
munity, for whose benefit princi
pally it was written. As to what
will be the price of cotton, nnd
what the planter shall do as
to holding or selling, the opinions of
the wisest men are usually worth lit.
tie more than the opinion of mere
guessers, w ho are as often right as
wrong, it is certain, how Mt that
facts are as stated by Gen- 1., and his
arguments those of a more than com
monly sagacious mind. There is no
doubt that the Secretary, with his
hundred millions of gold, by combin
ing with the New York " bears," can
powerfully intluence the price of cot
ton, and that, for a time considerable
enough to realise their fortunes. And
the news uow is that they are preiwr
ing to control the market if jsjewible.
There Is a remedy against these
abusesm certain, efficient and infalli
ble remedy which is better than
holding cotton for higher price. Ami
Ifiat is Ihrtct ffiijjittent to Euro. If
we have for exportation cotton worth
two hundred and fiftv million of
dollars, Uwidi-s sugar, tolmcco, and
rice, as (Jen. Price suggest, to the
amount of one hundred and fifty
millions more, what hinders our er
fect independence and complete com
mand of the requisite capital for any
purpose? If we tran place in Europe
two hundred millions of cotton alone,
equal to so many dollars in gold, what
can New York do that we cannot in
the way of importation ? Charleston
failed iu its effort for direct trade be
fore the war for want of capiul. It
was found that goods could be pur
chased by the million dollar shiploads,
and -hipped to New York, and theno
to Charleston itself, at les pri.vs than
they could be Is.ught by the hun
dred thousand dollar rargm and
delivered direct in Charleston
harlsjr. It was the ad vantage of large
capital over small, and that capital,
too, furnished in large itrt by the
Southern (copIe themselves, if we

a small scale have all found it profita
hie to them. EM it be done by com-
nt, let there be co-operation,
let our cotton go freely and directly
across the waters, and the ships be fur
nished with return cargoes oil our own
account and we shall get better prices
for what we sell, and pay less for what
we buy. Direct Trade is a sine qua
non to .Southern prosperity. And
this can be assured by a combination
amonir planters and factors, who
would la? mutually profited by such
an arrangement.
In order to make the doctrine " to
the victors belong the spoiLs," avail
able, it is necessary lo lay on the peo
ple heavy taxes and burdens grievous
to lie borne. Unless the treasuries are
first filled, it is difficult to get anything
out, and the fuller they are the lietter
for the sisiiLsmeii. Thev arc uo bet

If " resistance to tyrants is obedience
to ;d," we sv no reason why resist
ance to such tax-gatherers is not obe
dience also. They are the instrument
of the tvrant. and resistance to them
is resistance to tyranny
In our neighlsoring State of Arkan
sas the Little Rock (iazttti states that
the taxes " average outside of Little
Rock from tire to m7i per cent." Un
der Clavtox's administration, official
stealage goes on on a large scale, and
corresismding taxe must be levied to
sunnort the operation. The Gazette
does not proiosc that warlike resist
ance which would be morally jiistili.t-
ble, but proposes to make the best of
a bad case, aud throw every obstruc
tion jossible in the way, take every
legal advantage, and do everything
possible to be done consistently with
obedience to law, and iu resistanee to
this questionably legal spoliation law

South have taught the nogda to hate tl
Hadieal party; that they denounced it as
party of proscription. 1 he laisiring
white man of the South has always lsen
delud.il into the ladief, so far us the le-
mocracv could delude them, that some
liodv way up north was about to rob him
if some right, whereby he would t- isai .1
lower in the MM'ial status than theslav-
r free negro. It has bsii the isdn'V of
these men who are now disfranchised, t

lheironlv escape from conviction o
the truth of our chant, is bv an appeal t
sectional prejudice, of course, and to th
strength ol party.
Tin: gubernatorial canvass in Mis-
Issippi Is fairly begun. The issue, as
Judge Hi nt Uites it, is between the
Bitter Knders, or Extremists,'' who
desire to disfranchise tbe whites, and
the "National Republican Ctiion par
y," which favors "universal suffrage
ami universal amnesty." Pr.vr urges
the negroes to sUmd by the National
Republican I'nion party, as cotnpri
ng their only real friends, instead of
going with thtsst- who go for the spoils
of ottlce, caring nothing for them
The uegroe have no true friendi
among the carjKt-baggers, who infest
and undertake to control the State,
only to fill their carpet-bags and grow
rich on the spoils, which, if they get
nto office will be wrung chiefly from
the labor of the black men. The nt
groes cannot fieio seeing iiiat when
the ari-tors grow dch on fat pick
itigs of office, it must come out of
their lalKir, because somelsKly must
earn the money which the officers
sjiend, living in tine houses and riding
in tine carriages, and they do the tuost
work which is done in the State. The
DOT party pmpo.se to give the ne
groes work, kind treatment ami iarge
pay, so that they can lay up money.
That is what ptior white men want
more than they want votes. What
good will it do a black man to vote
for Aidkn, who can't get the black
men on his own plantations to vote
for him? What good will theyget by
voting for carpet-baggers, who bag all
the money they cau lay their hands
on, and are too stingy to pay their
washerwomen? If the black men
will open their eyes a little, they must
see that these men, who want to lay
down in the same nest with them,
and pretend to lie such friends to them,
only want ottio-sand to get money by
their votes, and for the rst don't care
whether they sink or swim. The
black men in Tennessee are Is-tter off
now in Tennessee than they were
when the carpet-bag men were in
ower.

A letter from Gen. Forrest
shows that he is progressing with his
Seloia railroad with his accustomed
success and energy. He has twenty
miles actually built, ami has assured
to him all the means necessary to con
nect with the Mississippi Central rail
road. He a-ks, very properly, what
we are doing here, and whether we
desire the advantage) that road raarh
ing Memphis would secure to us. We
shall act very unwisely if we do not
move in this matter. A letter from
Mr. Thomas Pkteks to our towns-
man, Maj.'.SvKEs, dated Klyton, Sept.
Ii, states that a charter for the Klyton
road has been obtained from the Ala
liama Legislature, and measures Liken
to secure the same thing from Mis-i-.-sippi,
tsides raising the means for a
suitable survey. Rooks for subscrip
tion will be opened at once, and mon
ies and lands taken, ami an applica
tion made to Congress for a
land grant. Parties interested
in mineral lands will also be applied
to, and will doubtless contribute lib
erally. Means sufficient to build
twenty miles at each end it Ls be
lieved will be raised at home, ami it
is expected that then ample capital can
be obtained abroad on lirst mortgage
bonds to complete the whole work.
sixteen thousand dollars ier mile ap-
I pn, printed by the State will be then
also available. Thus, if we can se
cure the Sclma road, its advantages to
us will be greatly augmented. Penn
sylvania iron men are already on the
ground, with large experience and
capital, prepared to reap the advan
tages, and to throw upon the Selma
road their manufactured iron and coal,
which may be made so advantageous
to us. Energy and eo-ojHTittion Ls
demanded. While others work shall
we .sleep? And how long, when trade
will lie lost by our su pin en ess?
The Merupms ai'Pkal, ante-dilnvian
Democrat, boils anil broils over the nom
ination of universal suffrage, as follows:
"We are astonished at the persistence
of those Conservatives who have fall-.-n
among the Radicals in t he advocacy of th
most unslalesmaniike ami injurious pol
ley ever advocated before a civilize)! co
pie. Its very absurdity is monstrous. It
is as if men should deny the pernfrimi
consequences ot poison, anil propose we
should swallow it, ami charge that we had
lieen fisiLs enough to place ourselves un
der obligations to do so. 1 et men, horn
we have lieen accustomed to regard as
ane, are bringing agencies to near to tas
ten the damning incubus of negro suffrage
on the people of lennessee!
In other words a white "cracker," with
possum skiu cap, raw-hide shoes, and
one-gallowsed osnaburg breeches, with
six inches ot a hickory bark shirt prot ru
ling thnmzli tne posterior oritic" a ctiap
not able to tell B from a bull's foot, and
not knowing or caring whether ashing
ton was a Spaniard, I hinamaii, Hutch
man or American, should be allowed to
vote, and to hold office, lieeause he is of
Caucasian descent, so-called. Rut a sil-
ored man who Isdiaves himself and pay
taxes, and can read anil write should not
te. White men who scour the country
alter night, in disguise, should Is" per
mitted to elect rulers for the people, but
the unfortunate lalsjrers, who, after a
year's patient toil, arc robliod aud driven
from their cabins bv tbe maskers, must ls
driven from the polls. What an absurdity
is this! lilt were the deliberate purtsise
of the Appkal lo bring popular govern
ment into contempt, it could not effect its
purpose better than by advocating such I
liscriniination ot color in politics. .VuA
vtttf Yc.. it nd Time.
We maintain that such a " whit
cracker " as the Pi-ex und Timttt des
en ues is isctter ttian any nigger" in
the universe. The very bst and tru
est and most reliable of all American
citizens are those to be found at th
plow, dressed according to their work,
and always looking like gentlemen
when they are dressed. Does our co-
temporary favor for voters only the
'colored man who behaves himself
and pays taxes and can read and
write," and wear the long tail blue erect
on aneh-4 in the middle ol the foot? If
that is the case the negro suffrage
question sinks somewhat in import
ance--in- iiardlv contends tor a taou
sand el ion v ami mahogany voters in
the w hole State. We are not particu
larly anxious to obtain the votes of
white outlaws. We will give them
up clieertully. it they can lie sifti-d a
chaff from the wheat, and punlshisl
as they deserve. We believe that
ninety-nine out of a hundred of them

and negriH-s who will not work that

Hut tin PrtM oiid Time thinks
we bring popular Oovcrunient into
contempt " by advocating discrimina
tions as to "color." We do no such
thing. We deny that the negro ha-
any color. Popular government
must have limitations. And when
Irishmen and Germans are forbidden
to vote lieeause they have no natural-
jition papers; or educated vouths of

the Hon. William Hret-k, Capt. A. C. Fank,
and (. Gordon Adam, were slaugrhtereu,
and f lemocrats of the bitterest kind were
brought forward as the most acceptable.
There were about twenty-five eolored
men present as delegates, and they were
of an inferior anil ignorant class. The ae.
tion of this Convention will have a won-'
drniis effect in uniting the Kcpublican
party, many w ho had bolted bavins; al
ready returned to their allegiance. The
most encouraging ais-onnts from all parts
of the State are lieing daily received at
the rooms of the State Kxeentive Com
mittee in this city. Tbe Republican pari,
is organizing rapidly, and the old Whig
and I'nion element is coining in. Judge
Foote, the strongest man In ICastern Mis

mocracy, and saya lie will support the Re
publican ticket." He is in favor of univer
sal suffrage and general amnesty, aud pre
fers to ai't with that party which is sup
ported by President (irant ami his admin
istration'. The chief distinction betw i-en par
ties, which is drawn by the Inbuilt
and its correspondents, is that of sup
port or opposition to " Universal Suf

the Tribune ; to oppose, Ls Democracy.
Here in Tennessee, we have a sort of
