po11T1Cs ON GOLD AND COTTON.

The spindle lords of the East, and the
Jacobins of all sections, are wondering
no doubt, why cotton and gold jumped
M at the intelligence Of the defeat OF the
Conservatives in the recent elections
Gold and cotton are the pulse OF the
body polite, and indicate with accuracy
the state of its health. The great need
of the country is specie basis for the
operations of commerce. In proportion
as the people advance to state OF peace
and fraternity, the paper of the Govern
ment advances to the precious metals
Probability of civil connection, or any
circumstance that leads the mind to con
template an unsettled state Of political
affairs, impairs the public confidence In
the solvency of securities and monetary
institutions A state of war defers the
day of redemption by Gripping the pub
lie resources and accommodating additional
obligations. Prospect of another civil
war would impair the finances of the
country. Actual hostilities would rum
them. Gold sees, in the present state OF
nolitical sentiment in the North, evi-
dences of coming trouble, and, infalhbly
true to its own interest, governs itself
accordingly. 1t makes no compromise
II remains omnipotent. Radical success
has sent it up, and, therefore, imam
cially speaking, Radical success is
wrong. Why? Because it perpetuates
disunion and sectional passion-two facts
inconsistent with the idea of production
Cotton, for the same reason, is fuctu-
ating. 1t went up after the verdict OF
the recent elections That had nothing
to do with the supply Of the present year.
1t affected the future supply. How?
The doctrines of the Radical party rem
der Southern enterprise impossible. Cot
ton, the article upon which the labor,
energy and skill Of the South have here
tofore been concentrated, cannot be
grown without it. In default of certain
labor, its production is a ruinous bust
ness. Removing the laborer from his
former status, and converting him into
politician and pauper, would disgust the
planter and induce him to devote the
little energy left him to the production
exclusively of the necessities of exist
ence. In addition TO this, confiscation
of Southern estates is threatened. The
result of that would demoralize industry,
because it would remove from the people
all incentive to action.
Even this is not the worst. A crushed
people would not remain loyal TO a
Government that thus abused them.
We will not attempt to lift the curtain
that shuts us away from the horrors that
would ensue. The public debt would re-
main unpaid, and national bankruptcy
follow. The shrewd fnanciers of the
North are not blind to all this. And
yet, with the facts staring them IN the
face, the North votes for the Radical
party.
