We give some extracts from pamph-
l.t written at the North entitled " How
specie payments may be resumed with
in three wears without contraction OF the
currency or commercial revulsion."
The cotton crop of 1859 reached D.
19s,o77 ginned bales. The crop oflS03
is estimated at 100000 bales. 1t is
fair to estimate the cropof 1866 at 2,75O'-
OoO bales-that of 1867 is estimated at
2 500 600 bales. That of 1865 at 4,5OO'-
600 bales. 1t may be urged, that IT cot
ton is taxed, why not tax all other aGn-
cultural products of the United States
In the first place, We have the monopoly
in effect, "a the quality of our cotton is
not eoualed by that of any o'her country
In the second place, this tax on cotton
will accomplish the desired object. IN
the third place, the contingencies OF the
war have placed the cotton product IN
condition to bear taxation, by creating a
home and abroad an unprecedented de-
maud for American cotton. Besides TIT
margin that exists between the cost f"
nroduction and the market price, wal
rants tax upon it of ten centsper poun'
The South should not complain aganS
this tax levied on cotton, for while
amounts to Sl05OOo,000 annually, III
North is paying s3oO,Ooo,oOO annual.
1t is right and just that each portion
the country should bear its share OF II
national burden. a return to spec
basis is impossible without an expo
duty on cotton. These are the prime
pal reasons given for the necessity
this tax. To impose it, a constitution
amendment is needed. The writer say
"Wil Congress give the much n7ed'
cons itutional amendment = And Il
People cannot afford to let this gold
opportunity pass unimproved' for by

equal to that enjoyed by any nation

arms and deny the military organization and
discipline required to render them efficient

D. GEN. SHERIDAN states explicitly that all
the speeches delivered at the New Orleans
meeting, except that of DR.. Dotie, "were
characterized by moderation" The men who
made these speeches, if they fared better
than the Doctor, did not owe their immuni-
ty to their moderation, nor to the forbear-
ance of the Presidents meb, but to their
dexterity in escaping the hands of the assas-
sins. II was not so much the manner in
which certain things were said, as the fact
that they were said at all, that enraged the
champions of "My Policy" Extravagant
ntterances may have been used as pretexts !;
nut the massacre was planned before the
speeches were made; and il the orators had

dent was doing all in his power to defeat
Its objects. The speech Of Gen. Burnsides
was received with rounds Of applause. The
General is no orator, in the true sense Of the.
word, but has an off-hand way of stating
facts, with no little humor, and generally
makes very favorable impression. He
spoke of his arrest Of vallandighsm, who
was using all his efforts to get his men to
desert from the ranks. He was told that II
he put HIM in prison they wonld tear up. the
very foundation walls. So he Concluded 60
put vallandigham in q room Immediately
above his own, and placed guard over
him, aud told them he was willing to risk
the wall. Mr. Nelson, of Tennessee, the
man who killed John Morgan, also made
speech, relating many incidents of the suf-
ferings of the Union people of that State.
About II o'clock gentleman, who had
arrived only few hours before, from New
Orleans, made speech full of interest. He
was present at the late butchcry OF the
Union men at the convention in New Orleans.
He said he had himself been opposed to the
policy of holding sonvention, but neither
the President, or any living being, had right
to prevent them assembling, much less to aid
the rebel police to murder them. He said
that act of the President had converted
thousands of conservatives into radicals.
At a number of other places large crowds
had gathered. Governor Curtin addressed
a large audience from the front of the Cor
tinental Hotel. The fact is, there never was
such an outpouring of the people, and the
cops already fee! the pressure of defeat
weighing heavily upon them. 49,,
There never was such discordant party.
The cops who have, for the last three years
abused President johnson as one of the
worst and meanest Of living men, now say
he has changed whilethe President declares,
in almost every speech he makes, that he
has no. changed, but is the same he always
has been. That some ore lies is very evi.
dert.g But the party is made up of just
such discordant elements the sole object Of
which is the spoils of offices. ~ ui' H'..
P. S.-The assemblage before the Union
League House, tonight, was the largest ever
known in the city. From 10000 to $4,000
is fair estimate. There was almost con-
slant discharge of rockets and other fire.
works. The procession, with banners and
torchlights, took several hours to pass. The
johnson meeting was mere fizzle compared
to this, probably not one-tenth as large. All
admit that it was the greatest demonstration
ever made in this country. .s .."
