nounces Tho Republican Party.
The Reorganization Of Parties.

The general result Of the recent elec.
tions indicates that the issues growing
out Of slavery, aud the great pro slavery
rebellion are settled; that tho mere
platform Of ECONOMY aud REFORM" with
out specifying by what measures these
glittering generalities are to be put
in practice, is as available to one party
as another. and consequently, is not
available as the special platform of any
partyj aud that, on the present, living
issues, as to the proper mode of laying
taxes and tariffs for the support of. the
government, the two old party organi-.
cations can no longer be relied upon
for their full party vote. Both parties
are, to some extent, disintcgrated and
disorganixed by this change Of issues, as
might naturally be expected. But the
Democratic party enters into the fight
everywhere with. the advantage of hav.
ing an issue in which it believes, and
for which it is prepared to vote, viz {:
Free Trade. The Republican party, as
such, for years past, has had no issue on
this question, except within it's own
ranks. A large number Of it's leading
statesmen and organs, as wcll as OF its
voters, are as heartily committed to free
trade or revenue tariff as any portion
Of the Democratic party. Upon this
question there must be, and, indeed, to
great extent, has been, a union of
the homogeneous clemonts such as will
enable those who think alike in the two
past political parties to work together
in future political organisations. The
same necessity which, 10 1883, induced
VIM. y. Brysnt aud his journal, the
New York Evening Post, to abandon the
Democratic party, with which they
agreed on all other questions, to coop
crate with the; Free Soil (attorward Re.
'publioan) party, on tho main question,

Is GUANO A CLEAR AND ENTIRE

MEssRs. EDIToRs Without ciroum.
locution, l propose to prove that guanc
has been q clear loss to cotton plant o, s.
Tho dealers in cotton estimate tha,
there will be mado this year 100000
bales. And why do they think so
They have come to that conclusion from
the fact that the farmers have purchas-
ed and applied to their cotton such
enormous quantities ofguano pnd tho
amount Of guano purchased forms the
principal data from which they reckon.
The amount Of money paid by South
ern planters for guano amounts to many
millions Of dollars--all clear loss. II
VIC had raised our provisions, and not
used any guano, we could not have
raised more than 1000, 900 Of bales, and
cotton would 70 day, (in spite of tho war
now raging in France and Prussia have
been wortlr.thirty cents per pound
Two millions Of bales at thirty cents
would be worth great deal moro mo-
ney to tho planters than 4 ,00U, 900 bales
at fifteen cents. Ifso, verge. nothing,
absolutely nothing; for 1000 900 bal Us
that we raise this year, and besides we
havo miilions:of money to pay ont Of
these 4,000,000 bales, for guano. We
could l,avo raised -.100, 200, 900 bmshols
of corn as easy as We have 1000 600
baies Of cotton, that VIC get nothing for.
Again, if we had not used any enano,
wo would havo made but 2, 600 900 bales, j,
which would have sold in the market for
more money the 100000. Wo could
have pockcted the money that the 1000
600 bales sold for, and no guano bills to
settle. If the above bs true, and who
can doubt it, guano must he clear loss
TO tho cotton planter. Since the war
We have purchased millions Of tons OF
guano, and by go doing, We have work
ed cotton down from 40 to 16a cents -
Think Of tho Southern farmers having
in the place Of 100000 bales OF

BURLINGAME AND THE SOUTHERN Bull
LY BRooKs.-The death of Anson Bur
liugame reyives the facts connected with
the challenge sent him by the late Pres
ton S. Brooks, and the acceptance of that
challenge by Eurlingame.
Mr.. Burlingame Was brought into ma
tional prominence by an exhibition of
pluck at time that earned for him a
warm place in the public gratitude.
Having denounced in fitting terms the
cowardly attack of Preston S. Brooks,
a member Of the House, upon Senator
Sumner, which aroused so intense feel
ing throughout the whole country, that
that Congressional bully challenged him
to fight a duel. Burlingame promptly
accepted, and named lse Canada side Of
Niagara River, near Niagara Falls, al
the location, rifles as the weapons, and
il we recollect rightly, ten PAGES as the
distance. This meant business as Bur
lingame was accustomed to the use oI
the rife, and was an excellent shot
though that fact had not been generally
known. The South Carolinian ascer
tanned enough of his antagonists prof
cheney to lead him to break up the affair
and 10 very clearly exhibit the Whit
feather, which ended his career 10 Con
gress, and gave Burlingame great celeb
