The Vicksburg Herald very properly
takes oil some of our editorial brethren
who have been crying out against the
Philadelphia Convention "a follows:
All the ooh the shamo-thc shame :"
of some of our hystcrnical southern
exchanges, which they ventilated over
the supposed resolution of the Phila
dolphia Convention, thanking Federal
soldiers for their devotion TO the
Union, was premature. 1t now ap-
pears they all went OF halfcocked
There is no such thing in the platform
The resolution simply recognizes the
duty OF the Government TO meet all
their Just demands. We would feel
very much ashamed of any govern
mcnt that would not do it. If the
soldiers and sailors will restore the
Union, and give us our rights in it, we
will be willing TO give them a vote of
thanks. individually and collectively.

We received few days since a letter
from u correspondent in Smith county, in
reference to the Philadelphia Convention,
written before the meeting of that body
We have not room for the entire letter but
publish the conclusion:
Let the Constitutional party North and
South rally round the President, who de-
serves nations gratitude for the bold,
manly and patriotic stand he has taken
against that hotbcd of miquty at Washing
ton. Let rs do all in our power to save the
country from ruin, the Constitution from
pollution; aud the Republic from dismember-
mcut, aud by 80 doing we will give death
blow to u foe, who hates Ms with an intense,
morbid and bitter hatred, and why The
answer is obvious, and contained in these
three simple words, quem odimHs tmcmas,
whom we hate we fear Yes, they hate us
because they fear rs they fear our political
influence united TO that of the North, will be
sufficiently potent to hurl them from place
and power and consign them to their original
obscuity, where they will be bound to re-
main during the balance of an unenyable
existence
How deep, how dark, how damnable must
not be the guilt of man who peril the eternal
of their immortal souls by swear
ing false witness to swear away the life of
the greatest Purcst apd noblcst spirit Of the
age. They arc very demons in human shape
their acts will never die they will outIast
time, aud will be remembered in another
md gloomicr region, only for the purpose
If adding fresh fuel to the flames that tor
ure the damned spirit of the unfortunate I,
sinner.
We Of the South can never forget the !
,nomity of their crimes, aud may our con-
empt scorn and hatred of their cruelty and !
oppression be ~ deep, abiding and lasting
Is our love of honor, virtue and Justice

Cotton OF Tobaceo.oao.olf

The Carbondale Era, published in Southern Hi.
nois, which is commonly called Egypt" advises
the farmers Of jackson county to plant tobacco
instead of cotton this year. Wequote: sAHSss
Our people have had remarkable success with
cotton for the last two years, and the natural con-
sequence is that everybody and his wife is going
to plant cotton this year-nothing but cotton. it
is characteristic of the American people to have
. hobby, and ride that hobby until they run it
into the ground.n The last year has produced a
remarkable crop for this section of the country,
but all will remember--none better than the cot.
ton cutivators-that many time during the season
the crop was trembling in the balance, and it was
extremely doubtful which would kick the beam,
success or failure. The wet weather produced an
eextraordinary growth of weed and 2 remarkably
S-aprabe fall brought it all TO maturity Such a
% season as the past will not happen ottener than
once in ten years. The question naturally arises,
is il good pocy-is It safe to go it blind y on
cotton ne1t year? Old settlers who have cultiya-
ted small patch" of cotton for home use for
the past thirty or forty years say that the crop
will be slim if not an entire failure, as often as one
in three years. The deduction is very plain.
We have no desire to discourage the cultivation
of cotton--on the contrary, we think it ought to
be one OF our staple crops, but not the sole one.
Had cotton failed the last season, bankruptcy
and ruin would have been upon our people. Ac-
cording to present appearances where there was
one acre planted last season there will be at least
five acres planted next season. Shonld the crop
be a failure it will require no q second Daniel to
come to Judgment" to tell what the result
will be. EscIlsB. W. r.-c
Tobacco comes as near; to being sure crop in
Egypt as anything planted, and our farmers have
heretofore thought it profitable crop at price
ranging anywhere, from five to ten cents. This
crop to have been left entirely out of sight
since the cotton mania set in The principal to-
bacco regions of the United States have produced
next to nothing the last four years and the old
stock on hand is nearly exhausted We learn
from reliable sources that in Kentucky Virginia
and Missouri very little will be planted the coming
season, thus leaving rich harvest to be reaped
by those who, by the exercise of little common
sense shall decide to divide their land and labor
between cotton and tobacco. Weventure the pre-
dcton that tobacco will yield twice as much profit
per acre as cotton next year in Egypt. We ex.
pect, and hope that every one will do just as he
pleases in this matter, but should any one happen
to see it, in the light that we do we believe he
will have reason to rejoice at it year from this
time.
