show more weeds than cotton. 1t will
be found that with emancipation cotton
growing and sugar-making are played
out. The white man would perform the
labor, if he could not do better; but he
can live easier than that. The negro
will not work for wages in cotton fields
or on sugar plantations. OF course the
radicals will scofi LJ this, although the
experiment has been tried and the result

Liberal, Very.

The Herald is among the papers which
have steadily advocated the hanging Of
jeff Davis In its issue of yesterday the
Herald argues that it is a pity that Phil
lips and Garrison cannot be hung along
with jeff If the Herald was published
in Jerusalem in the first century. its edi-
tor would have listened cautiously to see
whether majority of the people clam
ored for the death of Barabas or the Saw
Jour and would have governed himself
accordingly The Herald is perfectly i'm
partial, and we have no doubt if there
was any general desire for the execution
of Wendell Phillips, Horace Greeley and
men of like politics, the Herald repre-
sents, if nothing else, the fickleness of
public sentiment It's expressions of lib
erality in going in for hanging Davis and
Phillips on the same sour apple tree
may be taken as feeler When a gov.
ernment goes into the hanging business,
outside of the law, and to conserve the
public safety, it is hard to say where the
business will end. II is Danton to-day
and Robespierre Tomorrow. Greeley and
Phillips are both wise in protesting
against hanging altogether. White
folks are vary unsartin', and there is no
telling, if we go into this thing whose
vertebr,e will be whole before Jack Ketch
