From the Leader, Rnltmore, Md.]
The signs of tlie times umistakably
indicate a falling off in the organized
power of Puritan sentiment in this
country. The practical supremacy of
Puritanism lias been maintained for the
past ten years at tho north, and the
most pan during that period over the
whole nation, by virtue of the energy
it lias pnt forth in controlling and con
ducting to triumph what I* now known
as the Radical party. The Radical
party is tho concentration of Puritan
principles and morals; it is a direct
embodiment of Puritanic intolerance
and force. Whatever of religion, of
avarice and discipline Puritanism pos
sessed, has beer, imparted to tho char
acter and history of the Radical parly.
Wiih the failure of Radica'ism, the de
cline of distinctive Puritanism follows.
Tlie source of gradual disintegration,
which seems to be in process for tho
eventful overthrow of this peculiar
sentiment, are to be traced mainly, first
to tlie introduction of foreign elements
into our population, and secondly, to
tlie rapid self-consumption of its own
vitality. This powerful clement in
our social system possesses every vir
tue but mornl greatness and catholici
ty, every requisite of strength but the
reserve force of deliberate and dispas
sionate conservatism. It lias brains,
energy, resource and surface vigor;
but it cannot abandon self-seeking to
principle mid good order. Its profes
sions are hollow, and its aims altogeth
er selfish, it has the instinct of self
preservation, but not tlie sagacity to
sympathize beyond itself. Itcultivatcs
conventional narrowness. It educates
to the practical ends of self, and is ad
mirable in the development of personal
shrewdness and foresight; but in the
intensity of these qualities fails to take
in a generous breath of sentiment that
can compromise with differences of
character and opinion. It is self-reliant
by education, anil not apt to receive
dictation ns to tlie lawful or ordinary
method of reaching what it desires.
If intolerant in religious matters, the
Puritan sentiment is yet intolerant of
religion itself. Nether the forms of
religion nor the laws of man restrain
its boundless egotism of opinion. It
begets free-thinking as its natural off
spring; but by a singularcontradiction
does not permit the same election in
others.
Tho blindness of vision which comes
from such peculiarities has driven the
power of Puritanism on tlie highway
to its own destruction. The vast in
llux ol dissimilar national dies, which
has been brought to our shores to take !
part in the future of the country, is not
comprehended in I’uritan philosophy.
The constant extension of our civiliza
tion and material prosperity is reach
ing to interests beyond the control and
congenial to populations not allied in
eommunity of interests, to the Puri
tanism of Yew England. Put, especi
ally, has Puritanism with characteristic |
rapidity in seeking the readiest road to j
its own aggrandizement, pushed its
powers of endurance beyond natural j
limits and fallen upon methods that I
may end in its own discomfiture. Ea-j
gerncss of enterprise, the restless pro
gressive energies of insatiate selfish
ness, multitude and qtticknes of
achievement, absorb with fatal certain
ty moral vitality us well as physical
vigor.
Since the Iiudical party has had con
trol of political affairs in this country,
it has acted in express obedience to the
dictates of the Puritan selfishness, and
for the most part has been led by the ;
direct representatives of Puritan senti
ment. The conduct of national affairs
under the auspices of this party had
everything of the Puritan nature in it.
The indications of failing strength that
lire abroad, through tlie excessive love
of party power, and the attempt to
maintain it at any cost, are the legiti
mate out workings of narrow and self
seeking political sagacity. In cmlea
vosing to sweep away every barrier,
whetitur of law or prestige, to its pow
er, there is abundant evidence abroad
that the desperation which has seized]
upon the Iiudical party will carry with !
it. in time, political suicide, and the;
practical extinction of Puritan suprem
acy. ;
From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, 25th.] j
Cotton-A Scheme to Head off
Speculators.
There is a project uu foot ill some of the
counties of this State which, if it can bo
successfully set on foot in all the coun
ties, not only in Georgia, but all over the
South, will effectually stop the game
which speculators have been playing upon
Southern planters since the war, especially
last season, and which they arc now try
ing to play again, by ruling down the
price of cotton"until they can get it all out
of the hands of the planters, and then sell
ing it to the manufacturers at enormous
profits
The scheme, as explained to us by an
intelligent gentleman, is this: Let all the
planters of a county have a common ware
house to store their cotton, aud let this
warehouse he under the control of several
responsible and reliable gentlemen, selec
ted by the planters of the county, whose
duty it shall be to receive and receipt for
the cotton, and see that it is properly
stored and protected. Then, upon this
aggregate amount of cotton stored, let
these" gentlemen borrow money at a
reasonable rate of interest, and from it
supply tho immediate pecuniary neces
sities of the planter, at the samo rate of
iutorest upon which it was obtained by the
keepers of the warehouse—oach planter
having the privilege to borrow money in
proportion to the amount, of cotton he lias
in store. If a planter is willing to take
the market price for his cotton and desires
to sell, lot the warehouse buy it, if the
market price is too low, and it then be
comes the property of the other planters
of the association, and becomes also a por
tion of the common stock upon which tho
money is borrowed to supply tho demands
of the planters.
lJy this means it is thought planters
will be enablod to hold thoir cotton for
pood prices, and instead of their labor be
ing the sport and playing of speculators,
it "will rule and control them, if not abut
them out of the market altogether ; for it
the entire cotton crops of counties can he
thus collected in the hands of a few plan
ters, they can sell directly to manufac
turers and consumers ot the law uiatoiial,
and not a hale fall into the hands of specu
lators. The price will then be settled by i
and between the producer and consumer
of cotton, and the planter can demand his
priee instead of being forced to take what
ever is ottered. When the question of
pbice is sell led between the producer and
eousutner, then, if the speculator wants to
show his hand, and force the manufac
turer to ,pay more for cotton than the
plaut^ aaka, let him overbid the luanu
mrturcr. and he is then entitled to control
the priee, for the planter has fairly dis
posed of the right to do so.
We believe that some such scheme as
we have crudely outlined will soon be
adopted by planters. It is certain that, as |
things are now working, the planter will
never be able to control the price of his
cotton crop, which be surely has the
rights to do, ’
Morals or Carpet-Baggers.
Tlio Georgetown (9. C.) Times informs
us that one \V. L. H’ebb, carpet bagger,
from Rocky Hill, Ct, has been arrested
by the District Sheriff, on a charge of
bigamy, made by his wife in Connecticut.
The rascal married a respectable girl in
Georgetown, last year. We find in our
Charleston exchanges the annexed delec
table moreeau, further illustrative of ear
pet-bag morality :
Foster, rad., of the North Carolina
House of Representatives, alluding to a
silver-spoon report, said such a charge
might possible be'inado against Beast
Butler with truth, but not against him.
Ho then attacked Mr. Sinclair, who re
plied as follows :
Mr. Sinclair said it would be unpar
liamentary to call the member a liar, but
nevertheless the assertion that he “was a
liar” was true The member from Bladen,
Foster, who wished to incorporate in the
hill a provision for embalming bodies, was
greatly interested in that business, for in
the pursuit of that occupation, at Wil
mington. just aftor the war, he received
an order from a Northern gentleman to
disinter his son, who had died in that
plaoo from the effects of the amputation
of his left leg. Foster, being unable to
find the identical body, and disliking to
lose his profit, selected a body and cut off
one of its legs. When the body reached
home, lo and behold! it was found out
that the right leg bad been cut off by mis
take. The gentleman, of course, discov
ered the fraud, returned the body, and
the carpet-bag resurrectionist was left
minus his commission.

.Vs its name imports, it is a Tonic of rare
and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and
harmless ingredients, and arc so united ns to
form a compound alike skillful in art, beau
tiful in appearance, and can be taken with
safety to the most delicate constitutions. It
is the result of a lifetime of experience and
practice in a Southern climate, and was nev- j
or known to fail, even where all othe re me- '
lies had been tried in vain.
Those who are unacquainted with the ex
traordinary properties of this home produc- !
tion, manufactured from Boots and Plants
indigenous to the soil of our “sunny South,”
(and honee adapted to the cure of Southern
climatic diseases) arc respectfully referred
to the certificates of respectable citizens
whose names are embraced in a pamphlet I
which accompanies each bottle: also the en- |
ilorsenients of the press in all the Southern
States, indicating the many thousand cures
already performed by our justly celebrated
Texas Tonic Svrup.
The reports from hundreds of Druggists,
Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the
country, are uniform in stating the medicine
i safe*certain and reliable, ns a substitute
for Quinine and the poisonous compounds
heretofore generally sold, and is rapidly
supplanting everything of this class.
As a home enterprise it especially com
mends itself to the people of this section of
he country, who are now' struggling in an
>ffort to do" away with old prejudices in favor
>f foreign produce, and may we not hope
foreign “Quack Nostrums.” the proprietors
)f which, iu most cases, are governed by no
king but mercenary motives, know nothing
>f the properties of Medicinal Agents, and
■are nothing for our interests, except to en
dec our people into the use of their vile
nixtures.
The Texas Tonic Syrup is packed in cases
)f two dozen.
Dealers supplied upon better terms than
my other remedy affords.

SEWING MACHINES!
for durability, simplicity and beauty,
stands without a rival. The stitch is alike
on both sides of the fabric sewed, and will
not rip or ravel. The following foots hav
ing been demonstrated, are given as reasons
why the STAR MACHINE should be prefer
red to any other:
l. Their great simplicity.
'1. It is impossible for them to get out of
adjustment during proper usage.
3. They are of great capacity, and will
stitch, hem, fell, braid, bind, coni aud gather
without basting.
4. They have au adjustable press or foot
to hold the work; anti they sew equally well
the lightest and heaviest fabrics.
5. They will sew over the heaviest seams
without changing the teusiou or breaking the
finest thread.
6. They use a straight needle—curved ones
p.re liable to break.
7. The needle has a perpendicular motion.
This is absolutely necessary for heavy work.
8. They run easily, and are almost noise
less.
THE STAR SHUTTLE is emphatically a
first-class Machine in every respect, and,
what is most of all, it is offered at a lower
price than any other good machine in the
market. Further particulars furnished oh
