OOTTON-AND COTTON NO MORE. j
The truth which the iournali«ts of j
thcconntry endeavored t»enf(?vco upon :
the people in the beginning of the gear. |
<g being strikingly exemplified this
fall. Then the farmer was urged to i
nlant corn and other grain thereby in- :
avsgnraflnga system of agriculture, that
would deliver him from the hand ot
the capitalist, and render his oecupn-!
tlon more than self-sustaining. He j
was also told that it would not pay to
raise cotton with onr present imperfect (
system of labor even though it brought
a much better price than has been ob
tained this season. That the duty ot ]
the agriculturalist was clearlv to cut
loose in a great degree if not entirety
from cotton—yet notwithstanding all ;
these warnings from sources that ought ;
to have boon heeded, the people of the j
South have passed them by—their i
broad acres have been planted iu cot-|
ten and the result is, what? an increase |
of debt and we fc.ar the breaking up ot
manv who staked their last dollar on
this fickle staple. In the early Spring
many farmers planted heavily iu cot
ton urging as a rec.:oa i**at they were j
in debt atm that a good crop of cotton |
which would certainly hying20c per!
pound would enable them to pay out. |
and render them independent before |
the world. But their hopes have been ,
blasted, and as was predicted,.their ex-1
pcctations have not been realized. A
remarkably late reason interfered so
materially with the planting that a poor
stand was secured and now the staple
raised, picked, baled and in market. Is
selling for fully one-fortrth less than
was expected by the planter in the be
ginning of the planting season. We
are asked, why this failing oS' in price ?
when the crop falls 60 fur below ex
pectation. We answer, the quantity j
ifprtwn in other connh-ira. the reduc- i
tiori of manufactories arc the principle '
causes. The consequence of the short
crop is as we have staled before, the
farmer will loose money this year, all"
m.iy not, but taken altogether the rais-1
Sng of cotton in Arkansas has this year !
been an expense instead of a profit.
Will not our people let the lesson thus
taught them be no conclusive as to lead
to.au entire change of our agricultural
policy. Cotton at present prices will
not bring ns out of debt, it cannot, and
the probability is the price is as good
this season ns it will be next. Then
what shall we do to pay off our in
debtedness and regain our pecuniary
independence? As an agricultural peo
ple wc say—let the science of agricul
ture be our chief study. Give to wheat
and other products, that have hereto
fore) been neglected, the attention that
cottou has received. Let quality and
not quantity be our aim and tho end
win soon be attained.
Our readers may gomo of them think
an article of this kind premature, hut
we cannot help speak of it when a
policy has proven itself so evil to the
good of lire country in its financial im
provement, as lms titis suicidal devo
tion to cotton. We musr animadvert
upon it and do t'.'opt* the people will see
their error in this matter, and turn
their attention to tuieli things ns will
bo (substantially prodtnble to them
selves and those that ezmie after them.
Our climate is as well arf.'pted to other
products as to cotton ; corn • wheat and
potatoes require less labor and yield
more money—this every fartoer will
admit with the experience of th. s year
before him—then why not give heed
to the lessons taught us by experience
and for which some have paid so dear ■
Jr?
A failure of the cotton crop this year
is not strictly confined to this State,
uor is the disappointment of the peo
ple regarding the price of this staple,
as will be »ecn from the following ex
tract fhorn a private letter dated at
Montezuma, Go., to a Citizen of tins
place. The writer says :
"The depression In business is uni
versal, owing to the heavy decline in
cottou. The truth is, unless cotton re
acts and gees up to 15c (12** being the
price in "M u on now), I believe that one
half of tho planters of middle aud souih
wot* fJ.'firtrirt will fail find lTHUlV O'
:hfiu will be irretrievably ruined. 1
will, instance one c ite to fire yon an
idea of the condition of the country.
A man muled a farm down here at
$15,000, hired 60 hands at an average
ot 5150 each, bought 3p mu I ex at $200
each—food tor hands and stock at high
prices—gave Bills payable, in Bank in
■ October jvnd November, (accepted by
Macon Factors secured by mortgage
on the cotton) and the heavy rains hah'
cut his crop down to ?“.V F’O hales.
These figures show hint to btJ ruiue l.

The Dangers of Negro SufFi age.
The country isnlready realizing some
of the legitimate fruits of the attempt
to hoist tlie negro into .t position which
he is not qualified by nature or edifi
cation to fill. Our whole political sys
tem is made to hinge upon the question
whether the negro shall become avoid
and bo made eligible to take a part in
the administration ot the Uov. rnmcnt.
All other questions sink into Insignifi
cance when confronted with tins. The
fanatics have worked themselves into
the belief that their rule can only be
perpetuated through the aid of negro
votes, and therefore they clamor for
m: -ro suffrage. With the most of them
it "is but a measure of party tactics. [
They do not believe that the general 1
welfare of the country will be promoted
by it, or that there is any necessity for j
it lor the negroes protection, t hey j
well know that he will be as well pro- I
tected without the ballot as with it. and I
probably better. In t.is natural in'-'-’
tion, removed from the Jalousies find i
aspirations of politics, and outside of j
its conflicts, lie would make no ene
mies: but it cannot be expected that |
in the attempt to divide political pow- j
er with his white superiors lie will not ;
excite predjttdlees and array a vital j
amount of bad feeling permanently
against him. which will work him more
injury than any injustice he is likely to
have practiced upon him hy the domi
nation of the white race. liut he is be
wildered now by his late enfranchise
ment, and by the glittering prospect
of becoming a ruler among the people.
He is not satisfied to vote, but claims
the right to hold oflice, and already we
see negroes aspiring to prominent posi- i
tious. Of course Jtiero will be no limit j
to their demands, and we shall have,
ns tite effect of t..e reconstruction sys
lln\. In grd?" iu almost every official
capacity, iiVIB Congressa.'*11 down to
Constable. Filled witli coticru aiid m* j
Eolrnce bv the exercise of their new i
found privileges, and (oo ignorant to
understand the line between liberty i
and license, they will become more am! j
more imperious and aggressive, and I
we shall have constantly recurring col
lisions, and tumults. The enmity and
exaspirations of the white man will
grow in precise ratio with the inso
lence ol the negro, and n condition o!
things will result which can scarcely
be conceived.
In flitch a contest the negro must in
evitably be worsted. Numbers, intel
ligence mid wealth are all against him.
It will be an unequal struggle, and ho
will bo the sufferer.
TVc presume that there are but few
so deluded r.ml credulous us to believe
WHiSl l»iw liv >. • 1 1WI «•**/ »• ..
able length of time, be permitted t»
usurp the places of the white matt fthtl
rule over him : or that public sentiment
will tolerate that species of equality
which it is now sought to confer on him.
Disgust at the antics which the negro
will he certain to play, will take the
place of tho present unreasoning fanat
icism, and lie will be pressed down to
his legitimate level.
One monstrous evil resulting from
negro suffrage has been already devel
oped. In a recent election in JHch
mond on the proposition to vote sever
al millions of doi.1 trs for railroad pur
poses, which money. of course, lias to
come out of the pockets of tho owners
ol property and not out of those of the
negroes, they voted nliuost solid for
granting the money. And thus it will
be everywhere. It costs them nothing
to vote taxes on other people, and they
derive incidental advantages from the
expenditure. Kxposed to such contin
gencies as this, properly will decline in
value, and much o' it will seek invest
ment where it will be more secure, in
many cltsirlcts oftheSoiitli ilie negroes
have overwhelming majorities, and
they w ill use their power to suit them
selves, so Caras the public expenditures
and holding office are concerned. This
is a groat danger, against which there
will lie no guard or security, when the
negro is fully invested with the bailor.
Under the system w hich reckless and
unprincipled demagogues are trying to
tix niton the; country, there will he no
bnriier between property and the ltd
lot. and the ballot will be in the hands
of nil ignorant, thriftless and irrespon
sible rabble. Under such circumstan
ces, who could feel secure in his prop
erty rights where the negroes had con
trol, and who would dare to live in
such a country?
Hut this is not the worst feature of
this negro equality system, though it
is bad enough. The negro is to be
made eligible to office. Our seats ill
Congress mid our State Legislatures
are to be polluted with his presence
and disgraced by his Ignorance. He
may roach tho Judicial bench; lie will
he found in our jury boxes, and indeed
j.v'ervavlicrc, infusing the poison of Ids
ig,„/riTiiCo and brutality into our legis
lation a ml Jurisprudence. The poo He
of the „\i»i therii States, whom the ue
groes co.ivtituto but an inconsiderable
portion ('.'the population, will not feel
these evils' fo the some extent as the
people of tho South, but they will not
be able to escape the shame ol having

GuT' The following .toms, wo clip
from tiie Little ltock Gacettc of a late
date:
From the Washington Telegraph of
the 2nd List., we learn that on the pre
vious Saturday evening, yottiptmles of
armed negroes marched through that
town to tiie place wlteic the aren't mee
tings of their club are usually held, and
remained there until a late hour at
night. Their proceedings were suffi
ciently noisy to disturb the peace of
I t. .. ........ l.iil nf uli.lt • l ill I i I'll lilliV
were, was not ascertained.
Grave apprehensions of (ho results
ot' their proceedings arising among tin
citizens, a meeting of (ho town council
was held on the following Monday
morning. Itesollitious were adopted
expressing a desire to prevent the for
mation of armed bodies, and railing
upon the post commander to prevent
a repetition of the breach ef law, order
and quiet, and to relieve citizens from
anxiety or apprehension of life and
property resulting from assemblages
of armed ignorant men.
Capt. 1 ourti lotto, commander of the
post, in response to the resolutions, lnu
forbidden these assemblages and assu
red the council that iie will make every
effort to suppress them.
It the people or Arkansas wish even

their object by taking the state out of
