ADVICE TO PARENTS.

Here is an item for parents and we
hope all of our readers will peruse it
carefully. We don't know who wrote
it, but these five short paragraphs en-
brace volume of instruction toall par
ents Except, perhaps, those of Bed
ford, who have boys old enough to do
evil:
'Let your boys play in the streets at
night. Old Larceny, who lives over
the grocery, round the corner, was a
virtuous man and citizen before he
took to highway robbery and served
two terms in the State prison. His
boys are first-rate companions for your
darlings, and will teach them something
of life. If your boys grow up to burly
ruffians, whose main employment are
robbingand eluding officers, thank your
foresight in allowing them to run in the
streets nights with all manner of vile
companions, and subject to all manner
of evil communications
"After father has administered a de-
served whipping to Johnny for insult
ing an old man on the street, mother
should privately take the weeping urch-
in into the pantry and stuff him with
plum cake.
"If Thomas Arthur should begin to
swear because you refuse to let him go
skating with Old Larceny's boys, allow
him to depart with parental blessing,
for it is dreadful to excite him to pro-
family, and his mother can't bear to
hear Thomas Arthur swear. Thomas
Arthur won't swear when he is out
skating, of course not.
"When you give him a severe talking
to for stealing Deacon Bluenose's pip
ins, be sure that he is out of hearing be-
fore you bngin to relate your youthful
adventures in the watermelon line to
your old crony, Uncle Tim.
''Take your pipe out of your mouth
when you chastise him for smoking. A
clay pipe detracts from parental digni-
ty when administering deserved chas-
tisement."

THE OBJECT is CONSOLIDATION.

1t is useless to argue the reasonable
ness or unreasonableness of any of the
plans of restoration proposed by the
Rump Congress. 1t is not a question
of the propriety to the constitutional
amendments, of the justice of negro
suffrage, or the wisdom of the quack
prescriptions given by the Radical doc
tors. The objection to them is final
and unanswerable. Congress has no
power to impose conditions embracing
the government of States to their rep
resentation in the Union. However
unobjectionable in itself any PROPOSE
ton might be, itshould not be admit
ted in the form of condition. Con-
gress attempts to dictate terms of rep
resentation to Virginia. tits not seen
that the right in the case once admit
ted implies the right to shut the doors
of Congress against the representatives
of Missouri, Illinois or Iowa? Negro
Suffrage, to cite but a single instance,
is not insisted upon as penalty to the
South. The law for the punishment of
treason, or rebellion or whatever you
may call it, does not prescribe such a
penalty, nor do the leading Radicals
as Stevens and Sumner, announce this
as the object Of the enforcement of ne
gro suffrage. They have obtained the
consent of their party to demand the
enfranchisement of the South. When
Nebraska asks admisson they at once
make negro suffrage condition. If it
is right in the case of South Carolina,
why not in the line of consolidation,
and we shall have Congress shutting
out the representatives of every State
at the North who cannot show that ne
groes voted for them.
The leaders of the Radical party are
at work for something more than the
temporary advantages of success upon
any one of their articles of party faith.
The ballot is to be given to the negroes
because, as Sumner says, Radicalism
"needs the votes of the blacks" But
back of that is the oneidea at the foun-
dation of Radicalism-the idea of con-
consolidation of government, centrali-
zation of power, recognition of the
right of Congress to enter States, and
prescribe the manner of administra-
tion of local laws, dictate their provis-
ion, and in all things have absolute
power, from the exercise of the func-
tions of a constable, to the administra-
ton of office of the President; from
regulating municipal and county affairs
to legislating for States and for the ma
tiOn.-.Juckson Patriot.

loh, the hospitals of the towns and cities
on the Ohio river were so crowded with

raj, that some of them were sent to Coving-
ton, KY, and placed in the Southern Moth

ton of small farms, and a diversity of
crops, and let cotton and negroes go to the
dogs. or Yankees, which so aroused the ire
of some Northern papers, that We were in
some apparent danger of being arrested for
treason or some other higher misdemeanor.
All that we then said, We now reiterate,
with the assurance of years experience,
that it has been verified. or is being veri-
fed. @
The editors Of some of the Northern pa
pers wanted us to make cotton, let it cost
what. it might. Why? Because they
wanted It for foreign exchanges, and their
people had millions of dollars invested in
cotton factories, which they did not relish
losing, but which We reiterated. they must
of necessity lose for, in the absence of
slave labor, cotton never can be again made
to afford any profit to the planter. Our
farmers have given free negroe labor fair
trial the present season, they have made 8
sincere trial of it, determining to make all
that could be made out Of the new order Of
things, and have signally failed, There is
not one cotton planter or farmer the present
year out of every hundred, who has work
ed twenty negroes or over, that has not
sunk money, even at the present high price
of cotton, and become perfectly satisfied of
the impracticability of ever making it pro-
ftable. The crop ofcottOn this year, small
as it is, viii be larger than We can ever ex-
pect to see, for the reason that the high
price was great stimulent to extra exer-
ton; yet, Notwithstanding, so far as we
can learn, all are disguised with the free
negro labor.
There has been, and in degree there
still is, an opinion that the introduction of
new Northern improved implements, and
tools. and Northern industry, and their su.
perior modes of cultivation, would more
than compensate for slave labor. Those of
the North who have taken this view, have
committed great blunder. No machine
or improved implement can ever be invent
ed, equal to Cuffee while slave; nor can
there ever be again any system put into
operation whereby the culti1 alton of the
great staple of cotton and rice. can be car
ried on with such nicely. intelligence.
thoroughness and profit. as has been here
tofore done. All the Yankee ingenuity Of
the North, can never originate any system
of cultivation equal in effectiveness, to the
one we are from force of circumstances de.
prived. -- --. ~.
With these views, we say cultivate small
farms, enrich your lands, diversity your
crops, and labor diligently yourselves, anC
if you do not become wealthy. you car
have at least an abundance about you tc
render life a blessing.
