Public Meeting on Monday.

Public Meeting on Monday.
The expected meeting took
place IN the Court House, on Mon
dav, to consider the labor ques-
ton, and a large number Of plant
els participated and showed an
active interest. The special com
m ttee to whom the subject had
been referred, submitted their re-
port. We would be glad to fur
nish it in full, but we haven't
been supplied with a copy. S"
far as We could gather, it covered
these prominent points: That
prominent Radical negroes should
MT be employed as laborers: that a
laborer should be employed for
the year, and all his time subject
to the call of his employer; that
white labor should be encouraged
in preference to Radical negro
labor; and that those colored men
who acted with the planters in
the recent political election, are
entitled to their earnest support
and sympathy. There was no
ant'agoni>m in the meeting to the
substance Of the report. After a
protracted discussion, in which
many gentlemen participated tho
meeting adjourned without action.
After all, this subject of labor
for the Southern planter and farm
er, involving the political and ma
terial future Of this country, must
be regulated by higher laws than
mere resolves Of cross-road ami
county meetings. One idea, prom
inent in the discussion, was that
negro labor should be diminished
gradually, but should commence
at once, and steps should be taken
to supply the labor dropped with
intelligent white labor. Our
Southern products must not re-
tard, but advance, in amount. To
this end, let the political neigh
borhood societies be converted
into farmers clubs for encourag,
ing immigration, and to unite
with the State Immigration So
cietH which will be formed in
January. Let us not sleep, but
be awake to participate in every
movement Of progress, to devel-
ope the wealth and independence
-materially-of our State and sec
ton.
Blythe by, in the discussion OF
Monday, a proposition WAS sub-
mitted 70 regulate the sale Of ag-
ricultrral products, by a certain
class Of persons nho are supposed
to be inspired with the spirit OF
old John Brown and New Eng,
land morals, and who have ideas
Of mcum It tuum not always recog-
nized in cid fashioned courts OF
justice. Eminently proper.
In the case of laborers, the
same rule OF requiring certificates
Of character, should apply here
which applles in old England, and
even in moral New England,
where every man, woman and
child, black and white. Is supposed
to be as honest as the days are
long. These practical matters
should be regulated by rule in
every locality, and hence the ne
cessity Of District farmers or
ganization as well as local clubs

vokcs the revocation of those pro-
visions which interfere with the
Presidents constitutional func-
tions, as Commander-in Chief Of
the army, and which deny to the
States OF the Union, the right to
protect themselves by means of
their own militia.
This last act was clearly an in
fringcment Of the Constitution,
that ''a-well regulated militia be-
ing necessary to the security of a
free State. the right of the people
to keep and bear arms shall rot
be infringed."
With the knowledge that the
Radical party has prevailed against
his counselS, and elected a Presi-
dent of their own choice, be yet
asks from the common country a
revocation of those acts Of partisan
legislation, which, "can be produc-
tive Of no permanent benefit 70
the country, and which stand as
so many monuments of the def
cient wisdom which has character
lied our recent legiSlation.'
While president johnson has
encountered danger and trouble
with tranquility and frmncss be
has shown a quality Of mind which
has raised him above revenge. He
invokes for General Grant that
which has been denied to himself.

his appeal asai' st profnse expen-

Ses of the Government are at this
day lover three years since hos
tilities have ceased) three hundred
and seventy-two millions ofdollars.
In other words, the national eN.
penses am unit, in proportiln to
The population, to nearly ten dol
lars per capita.
This is certainly remarkable
statement, and one we'll calculated
to challenge the attention of the
country.
We concur with him that some
arrangement should be made to
control the public debt, and to
prevent its becoming a permanent
feature of, and an increasing incu-
bus on the Government.
As for the resumption of specie
payments, we have but little faith
in the various theories proposed.
We believe there is but one way
to really accomplish this desired
result. That is in the quaint
words of another, ''The surest way
to resume, is to resume"
We regret to learn that the
commercial and industrial pursuits
Of the country are in a languish-
ing condition. The cry comes up,
however, from all parts of the land.
We cannot but think that this is
in great measure owing to the
effects of tie ''injudicious legiSla-
ton of the government since the
war"
As for the acquisition of Cuba,
San Domingo, and the Islands ad-
jacent to our coasts, with the con-
sent Of their respective Govern
ments, this would doubtless add to
the power Of the country, but as a
whole; it is not so clear it would
increase either it's security, or hap
piness.
| President Johnson has illustra-
ted in his Message every subject
| of public concern. 1t does him in
| finite credit as a statesman. 1t is
a clear justification of lis course
! now. 1t will prove more effectual
| hereafter. The time will come.
and that at no distant day, when
his accusers will be condemned,
and when posterity will hear and
commend those sentiments to
which the Senate and House, un-
der the influence of party passion.
have defantly stopped their ears.
