Try, burthcns Of the most draining

until, from the high prices Of labor,
the uncertainty Of crops, aud the low
price Of cotton have made ii entirely

boring classes Of the country should
look into these determinations and
know the cause.
We may reasonably anticipate that
the for,ieth Congress will be more
repscious, if possible, than any Con
gross has been heretofore. Their
r.ce is we'll nigh run, and they will
most ossurcdly make very heavy ap-
preparations for nc next year, which
is to be the year Of trial to the Radical
party. The interest on the govern.
ment debt already reaches the sum
Of one hundred and sixty two mil
lions annually. This sum of itself
Is startling, when we think of tho
i'm povcrisbcd condition Of the coun.
try and the unsettled state Of affairs
throughout the land. These evils
may be cured by an overthrow Of the
present Radical rulers OF the govern
ment, and placing il in the hands
Of honest men-men that viii not

zeal purposes aaa expressions.
England has at last discovered the
injustice Of discriminating tax that
bore with unequal weight upon the
poor or laboring classes Of her conn
try and src relieving them and
levying the tax upon tho capitalist
and men Of means. And as an in
ccn,ive to the people to engage more
fully in agricultural pursuits. She
Is paying one per cent, premixn in
many of her islands upon every
pound Of cotton, coffee, and yard Of
b.gging that is produced. How diff
fercnt with our government In.
stead Of fostering agricultural pur-
suits and stimulating ali to labor,
she is grinding them to starvation
and bankruptcy under the weight Of
an enormous cotton tax--cottcn on i.
" bearing from twelve to fourteen
cents per pound currency, and upon
every pound Of that the producer
mus, pay over to the government two
aRd q half cents. This state Of
affairs utterly forbids the raising Of
cotton, and farmers are fast finding
out the fact Many Of them after
having lost largely in the experiment.
The only safe course that is len the
people Of the South, that wc caa dis
cover, is to improve their land, raise
largely Of small grain aad senck, aud
turn the surplus capital In the way
Of building railroads and home man
ufactories Of all kinds, and bscoas

be independent, and mot until then.
