FRIDAY LIOSNING. SEPTEMBER S, 18G5.
^ THEa? WOULD SSE3I to bc extreme solicitude
in certain sections of this Union to test the ;
loyalty of thi3 and other Southern States, j
<&r fellow-citizens and frionds of the New Eng
' ? land States, and those in other sections of
the North most in sympathy with thc people of
those States, seem to bc hardest of belief upon
this subject. Expressions are unsatisfactory; facts
are insufficient; the arrierpeiiseia detected in every i
otter ance, apparently th-.' most direct and une?
quivocal; and from an inability to perceive why wo j
-.'Should bc loyal, tiny have been unable to rcafize
the fact that we ever cati bc.
.And wo ourselves have conceded 'the obligation ?
* to^respond to such exactions. Under ordinary I
. circumstancts^it would seem to be enough that
.we accept the situation, abandon every attitude
and expression of hostility, give up the institution
.which was the cause of action, lay off every thing
that distinguishes us from the people of any other
^section, and thus divest ourselves of every pretext
'and every power to recommence tho contest. It
?wera not unreasonable, in fact, to assume that wc
had done enough, when we had done all required
by the Government itself in testimony of submis?
sion and acceptance cf the Amnesty it saw proper j
(to extend. But it isfcssamed we have not. Par?
ties claim the right to exorcise us further. We our
. selves acknowledge the right-wo do tho best we can
to show compliance; and in thc- process of showing
off our loyal paces, exhibit a spectacle more enter?
taining to the spectator than pleasant, profitable,
or becoming to ourselves.
Eut ali this is wrong. Wc arc not in a condition (
to bo questioned. No people ever did, or ever i
-could, present more conclusive assurance of india- I
soluble bonds to thc General Government than wo j \
do now; uot in utterance or demonstration-these
1 are feeble indications cf popular purpojc, easily
arranged, often prompted by a double purpose,
ard satisfactory to those oaly who have thc motive
to be pleased-but in our present condition and
relations to that Government, which arc consistent
only with indissohible attachment-an adhesion as
"logical and firm as any consequential fact, and
which no sane or honest man within tho limits of
the Norther. States believes, or can believe, that
w? havo tb . purpose or the power to break. Wc
?ive bonck of attachment, pledges of fidelity, more
conclusive than any form of utterance could be.
Under thc belief we were affected by a social
condition here important to preserve-that our so?
ciety, formed of a union of unequal races, found j
no expression in the General Government, and was j
.dependent upon us ourselves for tho legislative
.culture co-extensive with ita extent and its neces?
sities-we struck for its emancipation; but we
.struck in vax; our efforts wero resisted, our forces j
overcome, our Organization broken up. Slavery
* * itself, thc cause of distinction and of action, there-1
fore, has been abolished, and there is nothing now j
to act for. In breaking from the General Govern-1
mont il would only be to form another lesser gov?
ernment, ir. no way better, in no way different !
from thc one we have. Preserving nothing -with j
nothing for it to preserve-not now sufficiently j
preserved within thc present, and presenting in its
antagonism and rivalry on thc same plan, the ne?
cessity for constant and devastating wara. Thia
is all success could bring us. But there would be?
little prospect of success. United, armed and or
." caaized, wc have already fallcu before thc present
finv^-nmert Tythfrn t'"" "TV,!1 i."1""'"
effort would be more successful ? Without union,
without slavery to inspire it and sustain it, without
arms, without organization, without a cause, or aa
attractive or even a common object, is there ono,
either North or South, believes that thc war could
be successful, or that, under any supposable cir?
cumstances, we could LMJ made to undertake it ?
Such aro the assurances wu give of fidelity co
the present Union-thc assurances of an over?
ruling interest. That constitutes a declivity down
which '.ninian action miict roll. Words may "palter ,
in a double sense;" demonstrations blind to real
purpe?o; and men may rave for ends to-day, they
may rail against to-morrow; but the proclivities of
interest arc resistless as thc waves of tide and
tims, aud men must tako them. Such interest wc
exhibit; and if there be people in this land who truly
wish to know thc future course and purpose of the
South, they have but to look to this. If permitted
to outer thc Union, we have no option but to en?
ter; if permitted to be st? juris upon thc subject
of her colored popel itioo, wc will exercise that
right; if required to abandon it, wc must abandon
it. Tao question has been fairly made whether
there be State remedies, and it has, for us, been
as fairly dotcrmined that there arc not. Wc can
never raise the question under fairer prospects of
?uece3s. The rights we preserve must be' hence?
forth preserved in and through thc Union. Tho
Government is the power through which ic is our
fortune, as it viii be our purpose, now to act. We ! j
are now in perfect identity with thc great demo- j ;
eratic society of the land; we arc affected by no j
peculiarity of social constitution not expressed in I j
tba; Government; and if t'.;erc bc States not ready [ (
to acquiesce in the aition of that Government,
and who shall be impelled, by interest or foiling,
tc test its authority and power, those States will
not bc of those so late in contest at the South.
Car; States at thc North, so rigid in exactions of
expressions of loyalty from us, present assurant-, s
as strong as these? Wo doubt it greatly. Weir
doubt if there bc that sentiment or condition of l-l
identity with thc General Government existing j j
herc; and whether, ia the course of events, well
may not yet occupy a different position upon some hj
other tribunal erected to determine os. i\.<? loyalty ; i
of States. ' j i
Presenting these assurances OT fidelity to thc
Unio::-assurances not in words, but in facts-in
facts logical, severe, and inexorable-it is not ne- j t
CCsatry, and not proper, that wc should be quos-11
tioned further. That may answer thc purposes ! t
of those who are solicitious, rather for effect than j 1
troth-who want not conviction of our loyalty, but ! t
rather facts on which to question it. And per-11
matent questions, therefore, by mea who do not ! ?
dou??t, who are in no position to try thc question- !
whi are charged by the General Government with j r
no such office-is au assumption which would not ! g
be exhibited by mon having a just sense of their j t
position, and an indignity not to be exhibited by
men magnanunous enough for a just sense of oura. ' ^

NOTT, as to this amendment to our'State Consti-, 1
tu?oh, whereby thc negro shall bc permitted to.

it is that I don't think it is to the interest of thc J r
black -.nan to settle hi Ohio. Slavery beius abol- ; .

mate, soil and productions of the South arc much ! c
bettor titted for liiiu, and he for thom, than at thc 11
Kurth. I.should be sorry to mislead the negro -tl
from his true interests; hence I think it would bc 1 o
unwise to invito him to come herc, as wc would by ; \\
.?rring him the right of suffrage herc. The true I g
nomi to the black man wiil discharge his dntv to ' b

TliC Supply of Cotton.
The following article is presented to our readers
as the new of an intelligent Englishman on tho
subject of the present supply of cotton in this
country. We aro not much disposed here to agree
to his results, which are wide apart from those
entertained by many of cur most intelligent cotton
operators :
We have received the following letter from a
gentleman of the highest respectability, a lending
member of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce
and of the Cotton Supply Association, and one who
has always taken a great interest in the important
questioii he discusses. His views differ widely
from those of Mr. Maurice Wilhams, whoso com?
munication appeared in yesterday's Guardian, aud
we think it desirable that mill-owners should be
led to look at the question in all lights.
COTTON" STOCK8 AXD SUPPLY FOR 1865.
2<> (he Editor of the Manchester Guardian:
.Sh,-Thc uncertainty as to what quantity of
cotton is now held in the cotton States of America
is admitted to be the sole cause for our present d??
pression of business in Manchester. The import?
ance of some inquiry induces me to trouble rou
with a few lines on the subicct. We have had
during the last three months great variety of
opinion on the subject, and estimates varying
from three minions of bales down to less than one\
million. Permit me to draw tho attention of those
who arc interested in the price of cotton and its
supply to a few facts connected with the case.
The two last crops of cotton grown in the States
previous to the war-1859 and 18C0-averaged
4,165,028 bales yearly. There was no interruption
to the planting of 1861, and we may fairly presume
there was the same average quantity planted as in
former years; the first rupture being after the
planting seasbu; and the first battle, the Bull's
Hun, wu? after the cotton was matured , on tho
field-*-the 21st of July, 1861^\iitr-???-d?te-th?r?
frere no niiiratT mOVomcTTlFsouth of Dall's Bun
tili August 2S. 1862, when the second groat battle
of Bull's Run was fought. We have, therefore,
every reason for supposing that the tirst crop
would be gathered icilhont th? least interruption.
and bo pressed and baled without any hindrance.
In the second year of the war thc cotton fields
were still undisturbed, and no military operations
tiil August 28, when all the crops wore ripe, thc
only dtawhack to the second year's crop would be
the' absence of the masters in the war, and thc
necessity to grow their own tooti for the negroes;
ind when thu crop was gathered there was a eear
citrof bagging, consequently much was reported
to he stacked lip, and not baled. We will, there
tore, take the probabilities of the case, and make
jur estimate accordingly.

Ulis accounts for only onemiSion of bales.
Wc must next make allowance for that indefinite
quantitv which is reported to have been spoilt for
want of baling ill 1862. If wc allow that onlv half ! ;
a crop was grown-two millions-in 1862, and that | :
half of that has by this time disappeared for want ;,
of baling, or boen iiscd tor domestic manufactures,
ice hon- still fire m Winns of bales toLcaocoilltU'?
for. We may fairly presume that in any domestic
use or manufacture to which cotton might be sub-1
jectcd during the last three years, thu cotton ;.
already in the bales would lie the last to be de- : j
st roved: its value was too well known to admit of j ,
gratuitous waste. Consequently, if we allow the i ?
irhuli crop of 1862 and ail groim tn 1863 ami 1S64 | ?
to have boon rotted, burnt and used up, tee ttjttl,
hate the fovr millions of bales, thc crop ol ?B6?,for j,

Previous to thc war there was no difficulty in j j
obtaining the opinions of planters as to the stocks j
on hand, or the probable yield of any year; but at !
the present time any planter elaimiug pnopert? of ??

This '?proclamation" diflictilty, added to the con?
dition of the roads and ra?waya after thc war,
and absence of boats on the rivers, may tend to
retard for some time longer tho removal of the
cotton.
Let us now sec what may bc our probable sup?
ply this year without any increased aid from
America, presuming that we have only the same !

Wo have a pile of New Orleans papers this morn?
ing, from which wc learn that the weather is awfully
!:ut, and the supply of ice very limited-thc Louis?
iana Ice Works not being able to supply the de?

thc wants of the community in regard to this mat?
ter, is remembered kindly.
The movements in cotton was renewed with in
Tcascd spirit, and with increased prices for bettor ; j
pialitieav Sales summed up beardy throe thousand j,
.ales at thirty and forty-one cents for qualities
.anging, according tu classifications in that mar?
ett, from strict ordinary to middling. About half j J
i dozen bales of thc now crop were sold. Tho ! !

A mo?ting of Lafourchc planters had been held ; j
it Tliibodcaux, to discuss the Brazil emigration
?ubject. They expressed the .apprehension that 11
he cultivation of the sugar crop would have to bc
ibandoncd for thc want of laborers, and that
lincty-iiinc chancea out of a hundred are against | j
ho success of the cotton culture. A general cul- .
ivation of corn they thought would overstock the j1
narket and ruin thc planters. : {
The Picayune thinks that the planters should j 1

of about $3fl0,0fltt?0 in gold or real money valua?

Legal Tende? Declared Unconstitutional
In Kentucky.
The Court of Appeals of thc State of Kentucky
has rendered a decision declaring the Legal Ten?
der Act of Congress to bc unconstitutional. Judge
RoBEKTsr? gave thc opinion of the Court, declar?
ing as follows :
Wherever a jurist inquires whether a statute is
consistent with the State Constitution, he looks
into that Constitution, not for a grant, but only
for some limitation of the power inherent in the
people's legislative organ so far a.-, not forbidden
by their organic law.
"But, as Congress derives tts.power from grants
by the people of pre-existing state sovereignties,
n? enlightened inquirer into thc constitutionality
of any of its acts looks only to a delegation of
newer by the Federal Constitution; for thai Con?
stitution expressly declares that all power'not del?
egated by it is reserved to the States or to the peo?
ple. In this class of cases, therefore, he who as?
serts the power holds thc affirmative, and, unless
lie '.maintains it," the controverted act should
not be enforced as law by thc judiciary. On the
/outran*, the party affirming that a legislative act
of a State is prohibited by the State Constitution,
must prove it: and unless the proof bc clear, the
coutcstcd-Iactj must bc admitted to bc law. The
instinctive ihuercuue between the two classes of
.ases is, that in the former tho power mus: be
shown to have been delegated, but, in thc latter,
it must appear to bave'becii prohibited.
And, in this case, therefore, thc power lo pass
the Tinder Act must .satisfactorily appear to nave
been delegated before thc judiciary should recog?
nize and enforce it.
ATLANTA.-This city is vising, nhnmix-like, from

?vered with mattresses, and here thc poor vie?
illis have a chance to si.?itch a little rest and
deep-if the mosquitoes will let them. Atlanta
-ceins to be the great centre of attraction for emi
rrants from thc North, and hundreds of them are
locking in daily, with no object in view but to look !
br a '-location." Ground soils here for one-half ?
nore than it did before the war. One piece of I
.round, upon which stood a large hotel, which was I
ifTered, budding and all, for fifty thousand dollars j
?cfore the war, is now held by thc owner at eighty j
honsaud dollars, with no building, it having j
hared the fate of many others when Sherman !
laid his respects to the p?ace. I think there is no j
loubt but it will bc the metropolis of the seaboard I

Messrs. Editors :-Why is it that so largo art
amount of cotton should be permitted to remain
at Orangeburg, while the owners are so desirous of
converting it into cash? If thc South Carolina P.ail
road is unable to remove three thousand bales from
theit'-iermintis, if they wi2 publish the fact, the
merchants will wagon it to Charleston, rather
than be subjected to t!:c delay, expense and risk
