Some ofthe Texas papers say chat

tp become the motto OF 8 good many
citizens of that State, before they win
be able to solve the labor question.
One of these journals says that the
idea Of large plantations and large
crops to any one man or manage
ment, is obsolete. These times and
ideas have passed away, probably
We learn further that some of the
large land-holders, in Red River
County, have adopted the idea of
leasing all their lands, and in order
to procure tenants, they have built
tenements for occupation by the
lessees, and it is asserted that those
who have done so are the most pros
porous portion of the planting popu-
lation. In another County, Namar.)
the planters are cutting up their
large plantations into smaller farms.
erecting houses on them, and now
call for emigrants who are willing
to work. These lands will either be
sold or rented on easy terms, and
provisions being abundant and cheap,
there is little doubt but that they will
shortly be occupied. The evil of
holding on to large tracts of land is
illustrated by the discouraging spec
tacle that presents itself along the
road between two towns in Texas, on
which not more than one-fourth of
the rich, well-fenced fields of prairie
black lands are we'll cultivated the
present season.
This policy of sub division of large
tracts of land is the true one for
Southern land-holders, in all our
States, to adopt. It would be one of
the smost attractive inducements to
foreign immigration, would secure n
population that we need, and would
develop the producing powers of our
public lands to an extent that VIC
have never before witnessed. cline
upon line, and precept upon pre-
cept," holds good in the labors of
the Southern press to induce the
people to secure the greatest benefit
from their innumerable resources.

CAUTION! CAUTION!! {!

TT has come to our knowledge that per-
IL sons from the country and city, order
ing that GREATME the QUEENS
DELIGHT, have their orders filled by an
other medicine, called Epping's Sarsapa-
rilla. This is a pernicious habit on the
part Of any druggist or apothecary to
make such substitutions, and it must re-
fleet upon their pharmaceutical knowledge
to say to their customers that they are the
same, when it is known they do not know
the constituents of the medicine Queens
Delight, as prepared by Heinitsh.
This is to caution the people that "HEI-
NITSH'S QUEENS DELIGHT" is an en-
tirely different article-a new pharmaceu-
tical product and combination of roots and
gums. and is the only medicine that per-
forms so many extraordinary cures among
the people. Over 1000 bottles have been
sold at our store in less than eleven
months, and the demand increasing from
all parts of the country.
Purchasers should be careful to ask for

AMERICAN SEcuR1r1Es.-The n

AMERICAN SECURITIES. The New
York Times, of Saturday, says:
"The sharp rise of nearly two per
cent. in our twenty bonds in the
London market, within few days,
is, doubtless, owing more to the un-
precedented plethora of unemployed
money than to any new impulse that
has been given to the public conf
dence in our credit. With the pre-
sent rates of money in London, and
with the extreme difficulty of using
it at ali, the inducements to make
such profitable investment as is Of
fered in our fve-twenties must be
very strong; and we have no doubt
that If our political affairs, North and
South, were in such condition as to
give us an assured credit before the
world, we should soon find our bonds
rising to something like their as
sumed value. They have long dis
tance to travel yet before they get to
that point"

Taxation and Ropudiation.

This question of reputation wor-
ries Mr.. Greeley. He calls those in
favor of it Villains" and says that
any Republican or War Democrat
who lends the scheme shadow of
countenance, proves himself can
migrate, villain and fool" Now,
this language implies that the repu-
diation party is not so contemplate
in numbers as we had supposed it to
be. 1t would not be necessary to use
such language in speaking of few
hundred crazy partisans. The very
words used imply that the plotters for
Reputation are neither few nor un-
known. The wrath of Greeley was
excited in this way: The Herald had
the other day O letter from a Western
correspondent, who says the Western
Democrats mean to run George H.
Pendleton for President, and to cleo
tioneer as disclosed in the annexed
paragraph:
'They are beginning to agitate the
policy of reputation of the na-
t'onal debt, n complete wiping out of
all our liabilities, and recommence-
ment all round under return to q
specie basis.
"The boldest among the Western
Democrats do not hesitate to openly
avow the doctrine of entire repudia-
ton. They believe that it will carry
the masses with it. and sweep every
thing before it. Go into any public
meeting, say many of their promi-
nent men, and you will find nine
tenths OF those present in favor of
reputation Ask them whv thew
should grind out their lives and pinch
their families in order to pay the
debt incurred for war which they
had no hand in making, and which
has only enriched the politicians who
brought it upon US, and they will
nearly all range themselves upon our
side. Still the cautious politicians
desire to approach the subject by
more indirect paths. The policy they
now advocate is the wiping out of the
whole national debt by an issue of
greenbacks to the amount of twenty
five hundred millions, cancelling all
the Understanding bonds and stop
ping the circulation of the national
banks, thus saving the country the
twenty millions annually squandered
upon those institutions. This is we'll
understood to be the programme
upon which Pendleton is to be put
forward for the Presidential nomina-
tion, as foreshadowed by the position
OF his confidential organs. But be-
hind this stands the ultimate result
OF reputation, which will be render
ed more easy of accomplishment
under the depression which such ali
imitation would occasion in the ma
tional currency"

NOBLE SENTIMENT. The following
is from the August number of The
Land We Lore, and was brought to
memory, says the editor, by the
name of one of the Presidents bonds
men:
ga Northern man married in our
native village Southern lady. and
died soon after the marriage. The
widow discovered, in looking over
her husbands papers, that he was
indebted to an Abolitionist, at the
North, in the sum of 81, 900. She
told her administrator that there
must not be q stain upon the memory
of her husband, and proposed selling
her house and lot to pay the debt.
He wrote to the creditor, stating the
destitute condition of the widow and
her honorable intentions. For an
answer, he received letter enclosing
the note of the deceased husband as
n present to the widow. The name
of this generous creditor was Gerritt
Smith, of New York In a private
letter to ourselves, he says: 1t is
time for men to quit hating, and
learn to love one another A truly
noble sentiment, to which every true
soldier, North or South, who did his
duty in the field, responds heartily,
amen"

yinced thnt the disfranchiserleut of
white voters might be to a great
extent repealed with general ad-
vantage. Prominent men at. Nash
vile are urging Gov. Brownlow to
convene the old Legislature for this
purpose, and as the Governor has
already expressed himself in favor

hope that Tennessee will speedily
prove that the triumph of Justice

FINANCIAL.-The New York Herald

FINANCIAL. The New York Herald
says:
Money continues superabundant,
at five per cent. on mixed collaterals,
and at four oniSGovernments, while
the leading dealers in Government
securities are enabled to borro " large
amounts at three per cent. This ex-
treme case gives courage to the ope-
rators for rise on the stock exchange,
and hence the market rallies quickly,
which it would not do if the none
tary conditions affecting the stock
exchange were less favorable, for
prices are high in relation to real
values, although it would not be sur
prising if they went higher. The
demand for discounts is light, and
first-class commercial paperis quoted
at 6CG7 per cent, with most of the
transactions at 616. The fact that
about $35, ,000,0 of compound inte-
rest notes mature on the 18th instant,
appears to exert no material influence
either in checking or stimulating
speculation in stocks. The crop pros
poets continue encouraging, and in
sections where the wheat has been
harvested, it is reported to have been
secured in excellent condition, while
the yield per acre was above the ave-
RACES of late years. Other crops pro-
mise equally well, including corn, and
a cheerful feeling prevails throughout
the West, where money continues
unusually easy for the season.

COLIJMBTA...
Sunday Morning, August ID, 1857,
The South and tho Presidenoy.

The South ana tho Presfdency.
Whether the South viii have any
participation in the next Presideu-
tial election, is more than any hu-
man being can tell just now. But it
is we'll to note the signs Of The times
in relation, to the, matter, and that
our people should be keptposted up,
so that, if the opportunity should be
presented to them, they may, to
some extent, be oognizant of politi-
cal movements.
One Of the most significant indica-
tions of political tendencies, is to be
found in the fact that the Mobile
Ines, genuine conservative jour-
nal, has nominated "Union Con-
servative ticket" for the Presidency
and Vice-Presidency of the United
States, Its candidates are General
Ulysses s. Grant for President and
Senator w. p. Fessenden for Woe
President. The term democratic"
ls dropped and "Union Conserva-
tive" substituted. And the change
Is good one. The Northern Demo
Gratis have no claim, as party, to
the unreserved support or adhesion
OF the Southern conservatives, aud
for the latter to support party (if
they should ever get in a position to
do so) whose success is extremely
doubtful, would be a sacrifice which
the Democracy of the North has no
right to expect. They have no claim
OF gratitude upon their former allies
in the South, for they made common
cause with the power which brought
the latter into her present miserable
condition. They abandoned the
cause OF State rights, for it is not to
be denied that that cause was one of
the most prominent in the late Sec
tional struggle.
1t is, then. the part of wisdom, on
the part of the Southern people, not
to place any confidence in the rem
nant of the once powerful Demo
cratic party of the North. It is
powerless to accomplish any good as
party, and itwonld be merely vast
ing any political strength the South
may have in the future, to attempt to
bolster it up. The honest restoration
of the Union, and, the support of
measures for its preservation, are the
only prominent issues of any value
now to the Southern people. To
attain these and kindred incidental
measures, there must be union or
combination of conservative men
throughout the country, under the
lead of some prominent man. Gen.
Grant may be their chosen repre-
sentative, and to him we are disposed
to believe the people of the South
the conservatives, we mean-would
have no objection, for there il but
little doubt he would be mighty to
aid in the restoration of our distract
ed nationality.

Independent speaks of modest visit
paid by Gen. Lee to friend in Lew

tlemen called to see him, but, in de-
ference to his wishes, the citizens
refrained from any public expression
Of their regard and affection. No
one had the bad taste to introduce
the subject of politics, and the war
was, if mentioned at all, only Incl
dentally referred to. The Independent
says:
eve have been reliably informed,
however, that whenever Gen. Lee
does refer to the political condition
of the country, he advises submis-
sion, In good faith, to the result OF
the war, strict obedience to the
laws, and that everything which
could be tortured into an evidence
OF continued disloyalty, should be
avoided"
