Though I. calnn 1tfbatter n sull' that inly opinions .- may onterttin canl huve the wpight. your partiality would induce you tQ attaqh.jo thaw, I most cheerfully . copiply witit. tho requoat contained in yoqij letter :. becoauso it, is oly by qqu tatiou tiand dicis-. bion among ouistlves that we can hope to act judiciously and harmuoni ously. It would, perhaps, be suffluient to say -that I concur fully in the views yO4 have expresod,- as to the impro-. priety of the South taking iny part in the tippronclaing conventiti ; but in doferenco to your wishes, I give, briefly, the renasos which have in duced this conviction in my mind. 1. The Southern delegates in a na tional convention could exerciso no influence in shaping. the policy, mak ing up 'the isues or selecting the candidates for tho next contest, with out serioutly iiijulilig the propect of a Dlmociatie triuiph. That thi. vould inovitably . bo tho case, is proven by the result of tho last bomocratio convention, where th very preso'nio of Southerners was us-l to prejudice'othe notion and to defeat the candidates of our party.

Our information from Georgia, Al baman, \1issiasippi, Louisianau tid Ton nessee does not change our views then expressed of the eouditmn of the crop and the .prospect of yield in thoso States. With thin evidence of change in the situation, we trow put the yield of the crop of 1871-2, at not over 2,. 500,000 bales at the outside. TaIking this to be the true status of tWo sitaLtiUota ItaNt is (hc dut-y of the planter to haimself aind his scotion?

The case of Nancy Coleman, cited by "X," is st-ill fresh in the minds of our redders.

Pqt 're believo that we have said inough to show up "X'' in his true Aairaicter. At the close of his letter of the 20th, he says "I am responsi ble for thle letter of the 15th instant." The idea of responsibility attach. inig to an anonymnous commnunication is simply absurd. Upon the whole, we regard the at. tack of the anon~ mous correspjondent upon the characer of this paper at cowvardly in. the ext reme.
