Cotton and Free Laborers.

predict that cotton cannot be successfully cutiva.

necessarily fall short of the amount raised under
the Niave system. The fact is. that on the 22d
inst, two thousand six hundred and twenty five
bales of cotton passed Cairo for the North. The
second, that the new crop is now coming into
Memphis at the rate OF one hundred bales per day
Considering that the new crop Is just beginning ia

can yet be in condition to ship, and that the
greater part, if not all the cotton now reaching
Memphis, is the product of West Tennessee and
The northern tier OF counties in Mississippi the fac,
that the receipts average one hundred bales per
day is a convincing evidence OF the willingness of
the ex -slaves:to work in the cotton field. and work
industriously, too, when the least encouragement
is offered that compensation will be made for their
toll.
West Tennessee has been the most rebel nfest

We have nc inclination to multiply words with

ments about past course in that matter are, to
say the least, exaggsrations- We have sometimes,
IL 10 true, retail lated in kind upon our opponents.
and always succeeded in making them fear IL not
respect Us In one or two instances We have
deemed it our duty 10 ventilate the infamous pri-
waite record Of Democratic speakers and candidates.
for which We have no apologies to offer. Under
similar circumstances We should 90 the same thing
over. 1t is the duty Of public journalists whenever
individuals, public or private, outrage public sen.
tinent by their immor sties, or violate the laws,
80 give the facts and thus hold them up to public
seorn. Farther than this We have never gone, bu,
the Democrat has. II has assaled both private
and public men without scarcely fact upon which
base its charges yet il has the cool efrontery to
charge US with offenses il has committed itself
But We care nothing for the insinuatons or char
yes ofsuch a sheet as the Democrat. It cannot
say worse things about Us than il has abou. Lin
coin, Stanton, Sherman, Butler and every otheI
prominent man who has been engaged in putting
down the recent Democratic rebellion.
When the Democrat ceases to abuse private cit
liens on account of their adverse political opinion:
it may with propriety ask others to desist
When it ceases to call its political opponents, mig
ger worshippers. amalgamasions,s. brutes, tyrants
and such kindred phrases. it may objec: to being
called copperhead, traitorous, rebelsympaihisin:
