sectional influences once more in power In the
Union, or even bold in maintaining its old
political warfare against sectional parties and
influences then may the people of the South,
misled from the allegiance by the detestable
intrigues of ambitious demagogues, well hope
to find once more in the Union old rights, old
blessings, old safety. Disunion is the off
spring Of sectional parties, and the complete
restoration of the Union, in all Its old peace
and harmony, rests upon the utter rout, North
and South. of all sectional parties. The spi-
rit of the Constitution must 90 hand in hand
with the letter of the Constitution.


1t is no less essential to the people of the
loyal States to establish the full reign of the
spirit of the Constitution; to restore as the
supreme law of the land, in peace and war,
in prosperity and adversely, In all circum-
stances of society, the Constitution, the
whole Constitution, and nothing but the Con-
stitution.


We claim the right, as free and loyal Amer
lean citizens, to discuss the conduct of the
Administration, and to censure it when we
deem il worthy of censure. Our fathers won
and established this right, and we will not
surrender it. We utterly deny to the Exec
utive of the United States the power assumed
by Congress in the sedition act of 1898, to
suppress opposition to the Administration, or
restrict the full freedom of political discussion
in the loyal States. This would be to assume
a power above the Constitution. The Ad-
mlnistration has no more power 10 suspend
the Constitution than have the people. The
Administration is the child of the Constitution,
and the servant of the people The child
must not reject the authority of the parent,
nor the servant usurp the rights OF the master.
The Constitution and the laws give the Adj
minstration ample power to protect itself and
enforce its authority in the loyal States; and
it would at this day be an evil example preg-
nant with anarchy and disorder, to disregard
the Constitutional rights of the loyal States
and their people. We cannot bring ourselves
to the belief that such a reign of terror is i'm
pending over us. We respect the Admins
tration too much for such an apprehension.
But if such times are upon us, we must play
our parts like men, and not disavow our prin-
ciples and opinions like towards. Loyal to
the core to the Constitution and Government
of the United States, the Democracy has
nothing to fear from the assertion of its prin-
ciples, and the discussion of its political views.


Allowing much of minor evil to pass un-
noticed, in view of the difficult part which the
Administration has had to play, there are
some grave acts of the executive and legisla-
tive departments of the Government, for
which we hold the Republican party respon-
sible, and for which we arraign it at the bar
OF public opinion.

Recent arrivals from Liverpool bring a state
ment of American cotton in that market, which
amounted on the 2lst ult., to 700 bales. The
commercial reader, says the Savannah Republican,
who is probably better informed with regard to
the consumption by manufacturers at the present
time than ourselves, can make his own calculation
to how long this supply will last. Placing it
at 10000 bales per week, at rough estimate, it
will appear that the entire stock is bouno to be
exhausted by the expiration of sixty days. This
done, the looms Of England must stop and her
four millions of factory laborers seek some other
employment, which is not to be had, starve.
The East India cotton, it is understood, will not
d. to work alone.


In this connection, the following from
respondent of the Richmond Dispatch is both
Gppr01Os and interesting


Charles Dickens, in his Household Words, says:
" Let any social or physical convulson visit the
United States, and England would feel the shock
from Lands End to John O'Groots. The lives
of nearly two million of our countrymen are de-
pendent upon the cotton crop of America; their
destiny may be said without any hyperbole, to
hang upon a thread. Should any dire calamity
bcfall the land Of cotton, thousand of our mer
chant ships woulG rot idly in dock; ten thousand
mills must stop their busy looms, and two million
mouths would starve for lack of food to feed them.


Such is the language of Engand's most popular
author eight ten years ago. aaG it comes to us
now with double force fresh and as full of mean
ing as it came from his graphic pen. The Same
argument then, answers now, and although the
Federal Government may lick the dust and ''yield
ion the present" yet there is power greater than
diplomacy that will force England TO raise the
blockade, that with the good feeling already ex-
listing iii England for our new governmenD will
compel her to stretch forth her strong arm and
roll back the cloud Of war. Our papers show too
mnoh anxiety on this subject. Let us wait; Eng
land bound to have cotton, and she will have it.
let our people follow the example of our Presi-
dent, and declare our independence of foreign
powers. And should England arrange this
present trouble with the United States, it will
make but little difference in the end; for, with the
blessings Of God, the strong arms and stout hearts
Of our people, and the necessity for our great
staples, are bound to triumph
