is the great issue before the country
the issue to be decided in the next
Presidential election.
The issue is clearly defined. There
is no possibility of smothering it up
or dodging it. There is the patriot
ism and conservatism of the Presi-
dent on one hand and the selfish and
destructive policy of the radicals on
the other. Mr.. Johnson, while he
proposes to secure the freedom of the
eIiianoip pated negroes, and TO give
them every chance to raise themselves
in the scale of civilization, desires
the early restoration of the South
through the action of the intelligent
white people. The radicals would
only restore the South on the basis of
negro barbarism, for the sake of per-
petuating their power through negro
votes. The people everywhere are
taking sides on this great issue, and
by next November it will be so well
understood that the election will turn
upon it and it alone. Mr.. Johnson's
policy, as shown in his messages to
Congress, and i'll his firm resistance
to negro supremacy, will and must be
the platform on one side, and negro
supremacy, with q negro balance of
power as provided for in the Recon-
struction Acts and course of radical
Congress. will be the platform on the
other. The election cannot be con-
tested on any other ground. The
popular name of Grant or of any
other hero of the war will have little
weight against the great principle in
volved. Should Grant take n nomi-
nation on the radical platform he will
be defeated. as another popular gene
raj, Scott, was. Men or names will
amount to little in the coming con-
test; principles will be everything.
Nor can he or any other candidate
succeed by ignoring the principles at
issue and by standing upon personal
popularity only. Mr.. johnson
stands alone at present as the repre-
sentative of the conservative side, for
he has made the issue and the solu-
tion Of it depends upon his action.
He is, as has been said before, master
of the situation. He cannot be set
aside. He must either be the conser-
vative candidate, OF must name one
to take his place. Mr.. Chase is the
representative os The other side-of
radicalism, of negro supremacy, of n
negro balance of power, and of all
the other extremes of the radical
party. Should he and Mr.. johnson
be the opposing candidates, they
would represent fully and clearly the
principles involved. 1t is possible,
however, that the radicals may wish
to use Grant or some other popular
general. with a view of extricating
themselves from the dilemma they
are in. But no one can bring them
salvation. The President has broken
their party to pieces; they have no
thing to stand upon, and next No
vember will seal their fate forever.
The reaction which set in powerfully
through the elections last fall, will
now be followed by political revolu-
tion that will utterly destroy them.

one quite unfavorable to the action Of all

Several kinds pf manurcs wero used by
MS, with the exception of your Poudrette,
with little or no effect to the crop.
Where the Poudrette was used, it gave
us near half bale more per acre, and
caused the cotton to open much earlier;
and NC would therefore, recommend the

growth of cotton, as we'll as improvement

Sir: The Double Refined Poudrette I
bought for two other parties in connection
with myself-one of them used it on cotton
and corn, and thinks it answered finely;
the other put it on cotton, on very poor
ground, and thinks it doubled his crop. 1
used it on corn. 1t answered finely, and
was thought by tho hand that cultivated
the crop to be fully equal to Rhodes Super
Phosphate. 1 also used it OF about an
acre of cotton, and I am clearly of opinion
that it is the beet and cheapest fertilizer
in use, and 1 expect to order several tons
this winter. Yours, very respectfully,
ISAAC POWELL.
