CORRESPONDENTS OF THE APPEAL

STATE OF BRowHLOw,
TIPTON COUNTY, September = 1867.
Editors Memphis Appeal:
Your valuable paper is well received
and highly appreciated in this county.
The policy that you advocate in regard
to the political situation of the country is
able, and mastery, and statesmanlike.
The dOwn-trOdden. people of this land
will owe you lasting debt of gratitude
for your able defense of their rights and
liberties. Let the people Of the south be-
come independent of the north. The
way to do this is to dispense with the
negroes and cotton. Go to raising stock
and grain, and manufacturing our own
goods, wares and merchandise. Let the
yankees take the negroes north and take
care of them, and raise cotton, sugar,
etc, if they want to. This policy would
bring them to their senses. Instead of
taxing our cotton, they would soon be
offering US premiums to raise it. Why
so much interest manifested and felt in
yaakeedOm in regard TO the cotton crop
Of the south every year? Is it because
they love Us so dearly No, sir; its on
account of their own pecuniary interest.
AS the yankees are such great friends to
the poor negroes, they would not object
TO this. Why are the people worrying
and fretting themselves to death with
lazy free negroes, supporting them and
making money for the yankees Oy try
ing to raise cotton? Let the south drop
the negroes and cotton let them adopt
this plan; they will then begin their in
dependence. We can live without the
freedman and cotton. l reckon they
would hardly pass a law to compel us to
hire them and raise cotton. One thing
is certain: if We stick to the negroes and
cotton, it will break up the country, as
there are a great MANY in Upton terribly
bent now. As a general thing, the ne
grOes are played out here. II it were not
for mean white men, they would be of
more Use as labOTers. Let the radicals
and yanks take them to their bOsOms
and firesides and make equals of them.
We should try to get other labor for our
general use. To drop the cotton business
will Of course dispense with two-thirds
Of our necessary amount Of labor. We
should no longer support our enemies
j. 2. the radicals, ysnks and negroes.
. Our crops are spotted and late. Where
they are cultivated by white labor, they
are good by negroes, they are generally
sorry. Yours, etc, Upton.
