The newspapers in the Reppblican,

geace,,, ekulting over the announce
menb that their. mhiority in Alabama
willsbe from 40. 900 to 90, 600. Let
them have the full benefit OF the fact;
but lot the white smen Of Pennsyl,
yania and Ohio, also remember, that
this majority is secured by the excess
of. black voters oyer white, and that
these black voterS are in the main
non-tax payers, and that.artful. .dema-
gogues have already been instructing
them, how by moderate taxation,
they cnn effect d confiscation more
universal and more daddy, than can
be,secured by any law Of Congress.
But these stories of Republican
majorities Mt the South, do not exist
in fact. In Georgia, the radicals re-
port that there will be q large black
aud white Republican majority, while
the best informed journals OF that
State. set down the majority of the
whites, over the blacks. at from 49,
600 to 10000. Such stories will be
widely promulgated i'll those North
ern and Western States, where cleo
tions are yet to be held, to bolster up
the waning fortunes of the party; bat
they will fail when the true election
returns come in from the Southern
States, in which fair voting is allowed.
There is hope for the country yet, in
the large majorities to be rolled up
in New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio.

SENSIBLE CONCLUSION. The Spring
field Union takes clearer view of the
political situation than many of its
Republical contemporaries. After
looking the field over. it comes to the
following conclusion:
"But account for it rs we may may,
the ugly fact remains, that the Re-
publican party is losing ground;
md let Il few more State elections,
for any cause, go against it, it will
operate disastrously to the reconstruc-
ton work that is now going on"

Z BALTIMoRE, September 10, 1867.
To The Editors Of Tie baltimore Gazette.
DEAR SIHs: L notice in your paper
of yesterday, an article copied from
the New York E.cpresS, of the 18th
instant, in which certain political
opinions are stated to have been cx-
pressed by me at dinner given to
me by friend at the New York
Hotel. The dinner,was private one,
and the statement of the Ecprcss,
being but brief and incomplete alb
stract of the remarks which I made
whilst conversing with tie few friends
present, conveys an erroneous i'm
preston of the views expressed by
me on that occasion.
Being still an "outlaw" in my own
native country, [ do not feel called
upon to publicly uphold its Govern
ment, especially at this time, when
the country is divided in opinion rs
to whether Congress or the Executive
constitute 'Me Gocernment But
am free to state that, unless the con-
servativc element of the nation soon
awakens to the dangers which now
threaten the liberties of the country,
l confidently believe that its form of
Government will ere long be changed
to military despotism, after period
OF anarchy more or less prolonged.
Yours, very truly.

III oar Republican ) contemporaries
would but try9to be. honest, for tinst
once, * they would be obliged TO
ackno owIedge that, overriding, ali
local issues, the general result of
these elections means: -
First That thepeople are tired, of
Republican rnle, and are longing for
"a change of administration.
Second-Convinced that radicalism
IS running into Jacobinism, and per-
suaded that to continue the Govern
ment in the hands of the dominant
party is to bring on new civil wars
anu new revolutions, they are re-
solved to bring about that change
Third-That the people, groaning

Of Federal and State debt-thr le-
gacy. in part, of profigacy and
fraud-are alarmed at the additions
that are making to it by Congress for
the support of military moharch;es
and negro bureaux in the Southern
States.
+ Fourth-That the people arc be-
ginning to rebel against tho high
tariff lords of Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania, who, under the swim
ding pretence of protection to Ame-
rican home industry, have shut up
their ship-yarls on the scn-const, and
compelled the farmer, the mechanic
and the workman to pay tribute to a
selfish. soullcss and dl-erasping oil
garchv, now governing" through
the instrumcntality on IL rnmp Con-
greSs.
Fifth-That the daring aud Oft
repeated violations of the Constitu-
tion hy the party in power, together
with their attempts to absorb in their
own hands the functions of all the
other departments of the Federal
Government, have persuaded the
people chat the only way to save
their liberties AMI to preserve the
forms even of free Government, is to
turn the conspirators and usurpers
adrift.
Sixth-That tic popular heart is
beginning to warm once more to the
good old Democratic party, that adj
ministerial the Government so long
and 50 well, and whose exit from
power, under q whirlwind Of sec
tional fanaticism, opened the door to
Il civil war, which sent the flower of
our American youth to- untimcly
graves, and executed three thou
sand millions mortgage upon labor
to capital, TO discharge which will
keep the white laboring man in q
condition OF positive slavery for a
whole generation to come.
These now are but some of the
causes which were mt work to render
inevitable the revolution in public
sentiment OF the far West and the far
East. There are others of kindred
character which might be specified,
but these will suffice. They will
suffice, also, we feel certain, to work
corresponding change of mind in
the States which are to pronounce
Judgment upon the revolutionists,
the conspirators and the terrorists,

their APPROPRIATE mouth-piece and
organ, the rump Congress at Wash

|ezesSg1-dp7s, of the l4th instant, says:
| We met a Brazos planter yesters
day, Who Informed MS that he had
finished picking out his cotton, had
Iginned, baled it, aud had turned
stock into the cotton field, Heplant-
ed 800 acres of cotton, and his entire
t,crop amounted to six bnles. The
ncighbors of our friend have Ioneno
better than himself. The worm tells
the story. The repeated and;nearly
complete destruction of thu cotton
crop must doubtless lead to the
abandonment, for few years at least,
OF this cultivation IN the coast tiers
of counties. It is too precarious; u
few repetitions of the loss. would be
:ruinous to the largest fortunes Cir
cumstnhccs may change in the course
of few years-the worm may disap-
pear, the cultivation may be resumed,
but for some years the lands must
either be abandoned or other crops
substituted for cotton
CoTToN IN FLoRIDA.-A correspon-
dent writes from Gainesville, Florida,
on the 10Th instant to factor in
Charleston, that 'the crop prospects
are most distressing to think on, and
We can scarcely trust ourselves to
write OH the subject. They have, in
fact, within the past four or five
days, even taken n far more gloomy
aspect than before. The ruin among
the sea island cotton planters land it
is of sea island crops we alone write)
is widespread, and the consequences
can scarcely be conjcctured. The
rain is beyond anything the writer
ever witnessed here or elsewhere, and
of itself would ruin the crop. But

TERRIBLE RAvAGES OF THE WoFAT
IN MISSISSIPPI. letter from an in
telligent gentleman at Rodney. Miss,
says: 81 am sorry TO state that the
ravages committed by the army
worm in this section are beyond the
expectations of the Oldest aud most
experienced paptcrs. Fields of cot
ton, from 100 to 200 acres, which
were covered with the richest foliage
and teemed with the greatest profu-
sion of forms and blooms one week
ago, are now in a state Of nudity,
with scarce n leaf perceptiblc. Nor
have they confined their ravages to
the cotton leaf alone. but half-grown
bolls have shared the same fate, and
one can, by close observation, find
many entirely scooped out. The
idea that many planters entertained,
that their cotton leaves were too old
and tough, has been proved IN idle
delusion. Another feature of the
righteousness 5f this worm that T
have noticed is, that they have de-
stroyed every vestige of vegetation
in the field. They are now to be
found ribbed on the forest trees over
hanging the fields, and the tough and
tibrous leaves of the oak trees have
been eaten by them with the greatest
avidity. They are also to be found
on the cane in great numbers. A
great many planters tried to destroy
them, but it proved, from what I can
learn, n futile effort. y All the sur
rounding counties have been visited
by the same scourge, and 1 have
heard of no one who calculates on
half q crop of cotton. The corn and
pea crop is better than was ever
known before, and n good many
planters expect to sell corn and peas

cs The impeachment question looms
np.ence more, and Republicans Sena-
{tofs and press assert as yehemently
as they did on d previous occasion,
yet we do not observe that the move
ment has gained any strength among
the people generally who. compose
thatpartS Outside the real merits
Of the controversy between the Pre-
:sident md Congress, there is reason
to believe that impeachment will be
strongly opposed, even by Republi-
can members of Congress, not only
sonthe ground of impolicy. but be-
cause the President does not fear
any consequences that might ensue.
: Impeachment can only be entered
upon for misdemeanor in Office, or
1orime, or treason, neither of which
MIR. johnson has committed; and
Congress would only make itself
more the laughing-stock of the coun-
try than it already is, by attempting it
on mere political grounds. ~"
For months, Congress, tried to
trump up charges sufficient to base
impeachment upon; and although the
committee appointed to do the dirty
work was composed of men bitterly
opposed to the Executive. yet they
failed to find a single act .on which
they conld, with any show of excuse,
base a charge of Impeachment. The
Republicansparty have dead weight
enough now to carry, and the recent
elections have doubtless convinced
their leaders that to go into Prcsi-
Dental contest with this additional
load would be utter ruin to any pros
poets Of success.
It is thought that this considera-
hon will at once determine Congress
men against the adoption of articles
of impeachment, to say nothing of
other complications-such as placing
a man like Ben. Wade in the White
D. House-a man whom many Republi-
cans now regard with disfavor The
extremists OF the party, like Sumner
and Wilson, may work hard and
earnestly to bring n majority of their
friends up to the deposing point, but
as their efforts heretofore in that
direction have always failed, it does
not seem probable that they will
meet with better success at the next
session. In view of the great change
OF political sentiment throughout the
North, they will shrink from going
before tho country with this issue as
one plank of the platform.
If they do design to impeach upon
mere political differences between
Congress and the President, it would
meet with the condemnation of men
of all parties, aud would only hasten
the day iof their obliteration as a
party. Nor is it to be believed that
the President and his Cabinet would
tamely submit to such an outrage
upon the Constitution and the prin-
ciples Of the Government. The I'M
peacbers would raise such a storm
about their own heads as would over
whelm them with disgrace and drive
them from that power which they
have so frequently and wantonly
abnsed. The scare-crow has failed
to effect the premeditated mischief.

has played a conspicuous and not
