Address of the Democratic Memberis of Congrem To the People of' the Uitet SM les % Our presence and official duties at Washington have enabled us to become fully acquainted with the ac tions and de.signs of those Who conti ol the RI dical party, and we feel eilled upon to utter a tew words of warning against the alarming strides they have made towards the ecntralising of pow. er in the hands of Covgremaand the 1x ecutive. The time and attention of the Radical leaders have been almost wholly directed to devising suoh leg. islation as will, in thoir view, best preserve their !sxcondanef, and no re gard for the wisc restraints imposed by the Constitution has checked their reckiess and desperate career. The President of the United States has been formally announced as a candi date for re-election. The declarations of his selfish supporters have been echoed by a eubstdised presit and the discipline of party as already made adhesion to his personal for tunes the supreme test. of political fealt . The partiman legislation to whic we refer was decreed and shaped in secret caucus, where the extromest counsels always dominated, and was adopted by a subservieut majority, if not with the intent, cer tainly with the effect to place in the hands of the President power to conmi mand his own renomination, and to employ the army, navy and militia, at his sole discretion, as a means of subserving his personal ambition. When the sad experience of the last two years, so disappointing to the hopes and generous confidence of the country is considered, in connhe with the violent utterances -and. rash purposes of those who control the President's policy, it is not surpris ing that the gravest apprehensions for the future peace of the nation should be entertained. At a time when labor is depressed, and every material interest is palsied by oppressive taiation, the public of fleers have been multiplied beyond all precedent to serve as instriuments itt the perpetuation of power. Partisan ship is the only test applied to the distribution of tihe vast ptatronlsge. Honesty, ftness and moral wvorth are I. ~ openly discarded in f'avor of trucklhieg submission and dishonorable com p1 i - ance ; hence enortmous defaleations and wide-spread corruption have fol lowed as the natural consequencesi of x ~ this pernicious system. Bly the oi olal report of the Secretary of the Treassry, it a ppears that after the deduction of all proper credits, many tnillions of dolbirs remdin from ex' oolleotors of the internal revenue, and that no proper diligence ha,, ever been used to collect thoem. Reforms in the reventle and fiseal systems, which all experience demonstrates to be necessary to s frtugal ad mninis-1 tration of the government, as well as a measure of relief to an overaburdena ed people, have been persistently postponed or willfully neglected, Congress now adjourns without hav. . ig even attempted to reduoe taxation or to repeal the glaring Impositions by which indistry is ernwhe d and impoverIshed. The tresry is over flowing, and ant excess of $80,000,000 of revenue Is admitted i and yet, in, stead of some .mdasuro of present re lief, a barren and delusive resolution is passed'by the Senate to consider the tarIff and exoise systems hereafter, au if the history -of- broken pledgee and pretended remedies furnished any better aurane for future legie latlon than experiepce has dono in Shpbuildipig and the, carrying trkde, once sottfees of iatloal prIdo, and prosperity, now Mnguish under a e-hng ladoftaxation, tpd toarly ev'ery other business intetosti Is str dg gling without profit to niaintain itseolf, Our agriculturists, while paying , henvy taxes on all they consume, e!iet to the Goverinment, or to mo nopolists, flind the prices for thloir owh products to reduced that honest labor 1 is denied its just reward, and industry is prostrated by invidious dkcriminai. tion.

Tnder pretenise of ptsing laws to i enforce the iou rteenth amendmeint, i and for other purposes, Congress has u conferred tihe most detpotic powers upon the Executive, and provided ru official machinery, by which the liber ties of the people are menaced and the sacred right of local self govern. ment in the Sates ignored, if not ty ranically overthrown. Modeled Ip to the sedition laws so odious in his tory, they are at viriance with all the sanctified theories of our institutionls. h And the construoti in given by these M Radical interpreters to the fourteenth h amencndment is, to use the languago of g an eminent Senator, Mr. Trumbull, 1) of Illinois, an "aninibilator of States." P Under the last enforcetneit bill "the a 10'xecutive may) in his discretion 0 thrust ale the government of any t State, suspend the writ of habeas cor- Y pus,'' arrest its Governor, imprison or e disperse the Legislature, silence d its judges, and trample down its d people under the armed heel of his 11 troops. Nothing is left to the citizen or the State which can any longer be 0 called a right ; all is changed into I mere sufferance. Our hopes for re- c dress are in tihe calm, good sense, the "sober second thought," of the Ameri- t can people. We call upon them to be true to themselves and to their S past, and disregarding party names and a trinor differences, to insist upon a de- 01 cent equalisation of power, the res- g triction of Federal authority within b itsjtst and proper limits, leaving to t the Statov that control over domestic n affairs which is essential to their P happinesn, and tranquility, and good ti governmeut. 0 Everything that malicious ingenuib " ty could suggest has bte done to d irritate the people of the Middle and 8 8outhern States, Gross and exagger. n ated charges of disorder and violence tl owo thei r origin to the tuicbievous n n)(ls of potential managors in the 8enate amd [louse of Representatives a to which the lhecutive has, we re- ti gret to say, lent his aid, and thus 0 helped to infisme the popular feeling, h tn all this course of hostile legislation f, and har.sh resentment, no word of con- t! eilintion, of encourngement or frater,. s nal feeling has ever been spoken by the President or Congress to the pen. h ple of the Southern States. They P have beeni addressed only in the lan- 01 guago of proser iption We earnestly t1 entreat our follow-citizens, in all a' parts of the Union, to spare no efforts & to maintain peace and order ; to care. I fully protect the rights of ever citi- 8 sen ; to preserve kindly relations among all mn, arid to discountenance I and discourage any violation of the 0 rights of any portion of the people a secured under the Constitution or any b of its amiendmients ; and in conclusion, 0 we eartnestly beg of you iiot to give aid to the present attempts of Radieal b partisans to stir up strife in the land ;u to tenew the issues of war1 or to ob- 9 truct the return of peace anid pros- n purity to the Southern States, be. d cause it is thus that they seek to o divert the attention of the Qoutntry ri from the oorriuption arid extravaganca in ini their nndministration of public b affairs and the dangerous arid profli.p gate attempt they ar'e maiking towards n the creation of contralised military r government. jSi In the five y ears of peace following bi the war the Ra~dlcal administratior's e have expended $1 ,200,000i,000 for or- tl dinary purposies alone, being within h $20J0,000,000 of the aggregate amount a spent for the same purposes in war a and in peace during the seventy-one n yeatrs preceding June 30, 1861, not c including In either case the sum upon t principal or interest of the publio r debt. It is trifling with the intelli- It gence of the people for the Radical o leaders to pretend that this vast sum a has been .honestly expended. Hun..

JEFFERSON. !The Cost of Groving Cotton. A correspondent of the Matiehstor (England) paper, under date of .anuu t uary 13th, prints the fbi lowing ektract from a letter received b.y the writer t from a Southerner, "Who has ,pent all his life in the cotton States, and thoroughly knows the South and its people :" I am informed by a planter run ning three large plantations that ho can raise cotton at 8a. per pound low estimate, I think, as it is gener ally estimated at 12o. (sixpence 1 bit, with abundance of fixed labor, I boa ii lieve it can be raised under 10. This t refers to Alabama and Geongla) in d this neighciorhood. In Missimsippi, I h Arkansas and Texas, where the soil '4 will yield more than the producor con I pick, it should not cost above 8t. If t cotton can be raised at 8o., as is here a stated, we may depend upon it that I I planters, having netted fully 20e. d this year, will put more ground under vi cotton than they did last, and I. think s twenty per cent. not at all an unlike- e ly inorease. The only circumstance .dat will deter them from gi catly in- 1 ereasing their production Is the knowl- d edge that if they grow 5,000,000 bales o they will net lessi money for it than 0 if they grew 8,000,000 bales, and s their succeeding year's chance of a It good price would also be injured, 0 This next season the ndw erth of i cotton plantibg Is about to be Inore I fully developed, and proof given that p free labor (whether white or black be e employed) is fullowed by much. beta If ter results than undler the old system I of forcd labor. Not only Is free labor more productive from the em ployees working better, but it is It cheaper. Formerly, a good field t hand cost at least $l200, and *as a generally heltd ott bot-rowed capital, I on which ten per cent. interest was t paid. This gives $129 per annum. Keep masy be taken at another $10 e per month, or $l20 0' olothing andi y amedicintui $203 ; and allowance for in.I t suranice and waste of strength, sait f per cent., or $90, (as if the ungt-o tied I under the old syhtem he Was a totala loans) T1his gives us $llh0, or M70 per i annum. Now the negmo owns himself; I his wages calculated fully are $li5-per month ; keep, say $10 ; in all, *800, .?60 per annumi The conclusion seetus 1'easonable, thieref'ord, that -as planters in formet yeafs - iadte tatmge I fortunes eith niiddling~ Orleans rut-t ing at 6d. to 8d. in Liverpool, and with the wasteful system of borrow-1 ing, they can now, when they have capital of their ~w~n to work on, af ford to sell at these ratesj antd find cotton piby them handsomely.

We learn from Washington that there is no amnesty this year. The policy of repression is to kept up. Instead of anenizty we have the Ku Klux bill. Six years have passed, and the lvading and mo't influential citizen of the South are kept under the ban of the dovernulent, white negroes and oarpet-baggers are maintained in the State cap itals, to amuse themselves passing tax bills and illustrating the progress of American civilization with "mixed" balls. What has the South done since the war to exclude her frohi Wmnesty t At the beginning of the war we had the declaration that it was a war for the preservation of the Union, "with all the dignitya equality and rights of the State* unihdpaired, and that as soon as those objects were accomplished tb vt ought to ftase.' Itow \\'as this pledge kept ? The Union was preserved. The next step was the emancipation of the slaves. So they had not only the Union, but emancipa pation. It was then argued that it would not do to stop just thete -s they ghve thiam the ballot. It was then argued that the ballot involved, of course, the right to hold office. So they were iatle eligible to ollice. It was then hrgued that if they were to be judges, they ought of course to act as jurors. S they were made Jurors. t was then argued that is they Were freemen, they ought to have equal civil rights with their masters. So they passed the fourteenth amend ment and the Civil Rights bill. It was then argued that as they had be come such a potential element in the affairsof the country, they ought to be enlightened ; and so they introduced free school articles in the State Con stitutions. The progiamme has been carried out more fully in South Carolina than anywhere else. 'lhdy baie there 4 negro Judge on the ,bench of the Supreme Court, who charges $1,250 for riding in second class ears ; they have a carpet-bag Governor I they have a negro Legislature ; aId negro Justites of Peace, and negro Consta bless and negro Assessors, and negro 0Ollectorb t and negro millitary balls, where white ladies are embraced in Varsovienne by negro mujurs. But South Carolina is not quiet. Strange to say these people are not satisfied. Their sensibilities weria so blunted b.y klavery that they seem unable to ap prehend the magnanimity of the Gov. ernent. They wince under the taxes imposed on them. They get mad when their sheep and hogs are stoleii, and their barns and dwellings burned. Admitted to the Oovernor's mixed balls, and to the re-unions of the Second Regiment of the South Caroli-na National Guard, (where they net the Miss Rollinses,) they pre fer to ride Ku Kluxing and play the outlaw. So Congress comes down on them again. We have a positiVe re fusal to pass an amnnest.y bill, placing the old South Carolina planters oz an equal footing with Major Dicker son, of the Second ; and we have, at the same time, a third force bill by which nearly the entire criminaf jurisdiction of the State (and it ap plies to all the Southet-n States) is transferred to the Federail cout-ts. The President may send lhederll troops there at his pleasuiio, and may suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus whenever it strikes hiRa fancy. Surely this ought to pacify South ditrolina.
