We have declined heretofore hosting at our
masthead the names Of the national nomi
Inees, Douglas and johnson. We Delayed
First Because Of the ~dissensions and diyis-
ion in the Democratic party.
Second We declined presenting the names
Of even our %favoriie and FIRST choice for Presi-
dent and Vice President, so long as there 70.
NAMED hope for nm adjustment Of differences
upon principle.
Third, Being part and parcel Of Southern
interest and southern policy, we have felt dis
inclined 10 participate in any movement which
would seperate us (tho border Ststcs) from
any portion of the Southern States, requiring
equal and exact justice TO every State and
section of the Union.
The time having passed when we might
reasonably have expected any adjustment Of
the differences existing between the two divis-
ions of the Democratic party at Charleston
and Baltimore, resulting in the nomination Of
Douglas on the one side and Breckinridge on
the other, we are compelled to declare, after
full and careful examination, that the nomi-
nation Of Douglas and johnson Is the national
nomination for President and Vice President
We, therefore, present to our readers To-
day the names Of Douglas and johnson, and
in the language ola soldier and statesman OF

The rrInce or MnIes.

We have a file of the Royal Gazette with
dates to the 10th ult. The editor thinks it q
scandal that the Canadian papers should have
so much to say, in a disparaging way, about
the visit of the Prince of Wales, He says;
ut dctraota very much from the dignity Of
the reception which the Phnoawil meet with,
that the mode Of raising funds for it has given
rise 10 so much debate. In well-bred houses
and circles people would think it n great Of
fence if the expense Of providing for the enter,
tainment of n guest were loudly and angrily
debated by the host Surely all tim is very
unsecmly, In Toronto the corporation wat
moved to provide with something like dignity
for the reception of the Prince, but an amend
ment, moved by the Recorder, binding the
corporation 10 a limited outlay only, was car
ried. But the Montreal idea Of a public sub
s~eription list, contributors to which will receive
y sort Of return in transferable tickets Of ad.

from q friend at West Charleston, Miami coun-
ty We know that what the writer states as
to his being a BRrcKiSRIDeR man is true; and

support DouGLAs and JOHNSON. We commend
the letter to the careful perusal of all our

10 share IN tho profits which the cultivation Of tho
coast lands afforded Plantations before long
doubled in value. Unreclaimed lots were bougat
I'D with great avidity. Many new estates were
established by the English. They purchased also
many Of the old Dutch properties, and though the
Dutch laws and forms of administration were pre-
served, the colony became every day more and
more English. The rage for cotton planting was
stimulated by the largest crops ever produced;
WHILE at the same time the cotton sold at higher
price than ever before or since. In 1900 tho price
in England rose from sixty cents to near dollar
the pound. At this rate, fortunes we're realized
upon q single crop, and unculdvated lots, winch
ten yesrs before might have been purchased for hvs
or seven hundred dollars, readily commanded t~en-
ty. twenty five, and even thirty thousand dollars
It was estmsted that not less than fifty millions OF
dollars we're advanced by English commercial
houses for the purchase Of slaves and the other ex-
penses attendant upon the rapid extension OF cult
walton nov gong on.
The Peace of Amiens, and the restoration of the
colony to the Dutch, gave sudden shock TO this
speculation. The last batch Of bills which the
planters had drawn upon On their English cores
pondenis came back protested to the amount Of
two pillie ms and q half Of dollars. Bills were
substituted On Dutch houses but on the renewal OF
the war between France and England, few
months after, the colonies were again taken pos
session of by . British force, in consequence OF
which the bills on Holland were refused payment.
Tbese double protests under the law Of the colonies
which allowed twenty-five per cent damages on
protested bills, increased the original debt one
BALI Tee distress of the planters WA still further
aggravated by severe drouth which cut of the
plaintain crop, the principal dependence Tor feed
lpg the layes, among whom great mortality &C.
cured.
The increasing cultivation Of cotton in the United
States curta,led the extravagant profits hitherto
reslzed by The cotton planters. The abolition OF
the slave trade in 1907 cut of the supply OF labor
which had been SO profu.ely expended in the opsn-
Ing of new plantstions; though, under certain re-
slricuors slaves still continued TO be imported from
ether colonies down to 1923. BY the pesce Oh
1914. the colonies were formally ceded to the En-
gbsh, shortly after which commenced series OF
changes by which the system Of slave labor was
frs, modified and then entirely abolished, and cah-
yaton by free labor substituted for it.
