The Cotton Crop is ti
Some weeks ago, and in the midst of bea
the rust and boll .wonn panic among (lie rJ 1
planters, wo indited an article, .in which
we expressed the opinion that matters pal'
vwere.not as bad as they were represented jiu'1
?nd that the numerous complaints were Bun<
but a repetition ol what annually occurs Pra'
just previous to the gathering season.? tliHt
We also remarked upon the proclivity of c?8'c
planters to gaze on the dark ^ide of the ter 1
picture, and to overestimate any disaster -field
ithat may befall the crops. We expressly ^
disclaimed any entention of insinuating
that our planting friends were capable of 8an
wiilful misrepresentation, and stated that ov,r
we based .our remarks alone on the fact is'''r
that they were loo prone to allow their PeoF
apprehensions to get the better of their ?oier
judgments. We thought we were clear- cou''
,ly understood, yet many, we regret to fr<ap

The Extremists of either Section.
The South Carolinian publishes some
tracts from a late speech ot Senator Willi's,
of Massachusetts, delivered at a po*
ical meeting in New York. The force of
e speakers venom is directed against the
mtocratic party, which he conceives to be
c obedient instrument of the slave *pow*
in the United States. The President,
e Judiciary and the Senate, he says, is as
solutely under the control of the SlaveIding
influence as the Fiench Assembly
under that of Louis Napoleon.
This is the light in which the Adminisitiou
and the Democratic party is held
ultraists and disunionists of the North,
d the South .should take encouragement
>m the fact. But we have a party at the
tuth who entertain diiectly opposite views
those expressed by Wilson. The disuinists
here tell us, that there is no faith
the Administration or the National Deicracy,
that the latter is composed largely
abolition sentiment and that if the South
is her fortunes to that party she will
antually be lured to destruction. The
position of the extremists?the ultraists
cither section?tends to the same end ;
lestruction of the Democratic party and a
'solution of the Union, thus affording a
ictical illustration of the maxim that exlines
often meet.
The Democrats are certainly slandered
one side or the other, ami in the absence
any perceivable injustice from them to
j interests of the South, we prefer not to

"Poisonous Liquors
iVe find a paragraph in some of our ex*
inges to the effect that fhe Legislature
Georgia find passed a law for the apntinent
of Liquor Inspectors in every
inty, whose province is to inspect nil
lors manufactured or brought for sale in
ir respective counties; and if any liquor
found to contain strychnine, or other
isonous matter, U.e seller is required to
e it out of the State and to pay a large
i.
It is a pity that some such regulation as
at section, sold annually a large quantity
a certain poisonous drug to the distillers
that vicinity, lie koew nothing of the
e it was yut to, but knew the Tad that it
as sold to that class of personv This
us sufficient to suggest to us that our peoc
will have to go elsewhere than the
ountains to find n place where tho adulation
of liquors is unkoown.
In our opinion, the villainous and fatal
actlee which is every day becoming more
ipnrcnt will never receive a check until
ine legal arrangement is entered into simir
to that passed by the Georgia la-gislnre.
The coat to the Slate would be nothg,
