We have the pleasure Of publishing
letter on the questions of the day
from one of the most experienced,
faithful, able and accepted of oil the
statesmen who have served the people
OF Mississippi-Hon. A. G.. Brown.
AS contemporary aptly remarks,
there never was time when the peo-
pie were in greater need Of counsel
from sagacious minds than the pres.
ent The questions which they are
called upon to decide require calm
discussion, and practical common
sense views; not rant and fury, nor
impracticable theories
Gov. Browns advice to our people
is to accept the terms offered by the
Government of the United States and
then to address themselves to the i'm
portant subjects which the changed re.
lations between the races, consequent
upon the emancipation Of the blacks,
have precipitated.
We need not ask Mississippians to
listen to the counsels Of one whom they
have so long held in suoh profound
regard as Albert G. Brown.

Good ADVICE.

The following is the burden Of an
editorial which has appeared in a late
numbeL Of that staunch conservative
journal, the New York World. Unlike
some others Of our friends, seeing they
are helpless as ourselves to resist the
Military Bill and to avert the conse-
quences ofrejecting the reconstruction
policy of Congress--seeing that the
Supreme Court as means Of defence
is utterly impotent, the World does
not advise us to endure these wrongs
until RddicaliSn, cures itself By utterly
destroying everything IL feeds upon IN Me
South-but 1t admonishes us to be up
and doing, not SO much to avoid a
government of Martial Law which is
Of itself a .'hideous' oppression--but
a radical negro organization which
the Black Republicans are but too
eager for pretext to have established
over US. The words of the World
are to the point They are like sap
pies Of gold in pictures Of silver.1
From the N. Y. World.
IF standing still would keep matters in
their present posture, the true policywould
be to stand STILL But politics will not stand
still even if the Conservative part Of the
people do Those who, in the South and
elsewhere, advocate the do-nothing policy,
reason precisely as they would do ii the
suffrage had not, by the new law, been con
ferred upon the negroes. Whether there
shall DO political action no longer depends
upon the majority of the old voters; that
question is taken ont of their hands. There
Is now power of political movement quite
independent of tho white majority. The
only choice left them is, whether they will
be horse or rider. .
IF the white majority merely act the part
of indignant spectators, the States win be
without them. If Conventions
are held and Constitutions formed without
their participation, those Constitutions will
be promptly accepted by this bigoted Radi-
cal Congress, and the States admitted under
them. Military rule might be tolerable;

ted, and perfect harmony to be desired,

which depends the fate of our section,
OF our country, perhaps of free gov
eminent upon earth. II pains us to
the heart to see an evident DISPOSE
ton, to use epithets, to impune mo-
tiyes, and to deory character. This,
we had hoped, had died the death Of
political chickering's in our section.
Great God is it not possible for a
people, standing in consultation above
the couch of their liberties sick unto
death, to refrain from the turbulence
and partizan violence which add
qulckness to the feyered pulse of the
patient, already almost beyond hope /? |
That there should be difference of
opinion as to the remedy, is to be ex-
pected. We should doubt the gener-
al honesty of purpose if there we're
not. But we do not think it at all
follows, because there is
such difference, that one more than
another, is plotting the patients
ieath. The momentous issues now
before us, cannot be settled by such
manner of discussion There is too
much at stake. The people desire ]
