Cotton VS. Independenoe.

Tho theory Of tho cotton planter is,
----"thc moro cotton, tho moro money"
If money was independence, tho prac-
tice would confirm tho theory. There
is n great difference between having
money, and handling money. Cotton
planting might be compared to u fish
ing net. The same quantity Of thread
will mako large net or small one,
according to tho size Of tho mcshcs.
But the larger the mesllcs, tho loss
tho fish secured. More fish may be
handled, but fcwcr will be held. A
farm with wcll-stockod corn crib
and meat house, all home made, is a
not with small mcshes. Money may
not be SO l,lcnty thorc, but it takes
but little to do.
There arc two classes of farmors-4-
ono depends mostly on tho cotton
crop, tho othor mostly on tho provision
crop. The former arc as a rulo gen
orally "hard up" Tho latter arc in
dependent.

The Situation, - It's Facts, Their Signi-
fcanoe and their Demands.


South Carolina is, and is not,
State. Her position is anomalous.
AS State, she has geographical bom-
daries. AS Il federal State, sho had
once Federal boundaries MS q con-
quered State, sho has no boundaries
but tho will of Congress. Such is the
situation.
Congress in passing the Military
Bills knew that its laws, while appa-
rently left to the voting choice of tho
State, would DO accepted because
having all the fgnrcs, it knew that
tho newly cnrranchiscd would out
number the old cnfranchscd popula-
tion, less the newly DISTINGUISHED.
SO it made law that the people
should decide what shall be their
State Constitution in 1867, not how
cvor withont'so fixing it at first, that
that Constitution should bo nothinp
moro or less than an expression of the
will Of Congress rather than OF the
people Such arc the facts.
The dominantparty in Congress !.
which has grasped power, means to
keep it. llcnco they enact that We
shall hold Convention to abolish the
old, and frame new Constitution, on
ly upon tho condition that the former
Intelligence, dignity, experience and
ability, as wc;l as integrity of the
state shall have no voice in that Con-
vontion. This is what gives signifi.
cameo to the present degradation, and
degrading prospects of our State.
All this demands some course to be
pursued by our people. If We all
ogroo and fall in together with the will
OF Congress, there lis bnt one oonrso
before us. IF all we want is "man.
hood suffrage" and "Radical notions,n
these can easily be obtained. But
this is not tho only course. A part,
"tlcast, ofus in this State arc now
like sick man in n terrible disease
with n physician in whom lie hos no
confidence. The rcmody prescribed
ho knows is mixed in fatal propor-
tions, and yet he knows he has it to
take. His only hope therefore is in
either diluting the ingredients or in
taking tho antidoto at tho samo timo
with it. Such is tho condition of
many in tho State relative to tho Con-
vontion soon to be hold. 1t is a dose wo
must take. 1t does not bohoovo us to
swallow it without nm effort to avert its
dire effects. Our only antidoto is in
telligcnco and experience. These wo
must strive to put into that mixed
Convcntion---a mixture of inoxperi-
cncc, ignorance and Radical instiga-
ton. The man who docs not mako
tho cifortto send suitable men to tho
Convention, mon to represent MS much
as possible the former intellect Of tho
State, is cither putting tho cup of poi
son up to his lips, or putting his lips
down to tho poison in the cup. Wo
hope Fairfield will have an honest and
Intelligent delegation to tho Conven.
tion, who will not forget all that is
due thor own State in thoir oagorncss
to do homage to the Radical party.
