Shall thia great and proud Repub? lic be governed by a negro balance of powor? That is the important ques? tion now before the country. Shall 35,000,000 of tho Caucasian race the highest type of mankind-be. ruled by a few millions of ignorant negroes, who oro the lowest in tho order of human beings, and who are scarcely removed from barbarism? Suoh a proposition would seem in? credible were it not supported by facts. Some may doubt even whether such a monstrous idea would be seri? ously entertained by any party or faction, and may think that we state the case too broadly. There is, how? ever, no exaggeration ; it is the well known purpose of the radicals to per? pet?ate their power, if possible, through the votes of the Southern negroes. This has been their policy all along. The Reconstruction Acts of Congress, disfranchising a large number of whites and enfranchising the blacks of tho South, were passed for this purpose. Tho bitter feeling to the President, the throats cf ini peaching bim, the scurrilous abuse of him, and all the legislation to humi? liate him and his office aud to take away his power, grew out of his op? position to . this atrocious policy of the radicals. The brutal aud be? nighted Africans, just emancipated from slavery, and not kuowing their right hands from their loft, not know? ing what a vote meant or what they voto for, have been given power with a view to deciding the Presidential electiou and tho destiny of tho Re- : public. The intelligent white people of onr own blood and race in the South have been placed under those barbarians, and tho fairest aud rich? est portion of tho country is turned over to desolation, with tho prospect of frightful starvation, demoraliza? tion and a war of races. And this is all done for no other motive or ob? ject than to keep the radical party in control of thc Government. Tho spouting of radical orators and emissaries about equality, tho rights of man, the poor negro, and all that, is sheer hypocrisy and clap-trap. These radicals have refused to give , tho suffrage to tho few negroes in . those Northern States where they had the power to do so, and where . the negro vote would be of little con? sequence comparative!}', while they are doing the utmost to make the ignorant and degraded blacks of the . South a controlling policier*! element in the Republic. Wno ever heard of anything more inconsistent or mon- , strous? Such conduct seems like in? sanity, aud could hardly be credited were there not examples iu history of a similar character. Tho Jacobins in Franco shed rivers of blood in the name of humanity and equality, and 1 the Puritan ancestors of our Jacobins of tho present time were not less cruel and proscriptive in the name of religion and truth. The radical re? volutionists of France set up a strumpet as representing the God? dess of Reason, and committed the foulest deeds under the pr?tention of progress and a higher philosophy. It is the sumo iu all countries and ages under revo'utionary radicalism, what- 1 ever form il may take. It is so now with tho nigger worshipper-; and ra? dical revolutionists. Passion, fanati? cism ?iud political ambition havo sub? verted reason. Everything must give way beforo their intolerant dogmas. Let tho glorious institutions handed down to us by the fathers, this white man's government, so full of glory and happiness in tho past and the future of our grand Republic, perish for the sake of au irrational and im? practicable theory. That is the poli? cy of tho radical Republicans. That is the cause of the trouble between the President and Congress. That| is tbe great issue before the country tho issue to bo decided in the next Presidential election. The issue is clearly defined. There is no possibility of smothering it up or dodging it. There is the patriot? ism and conservatism of the Presi? dent on one hand and the selfish and destructive policy of the radicals on the other. Mr. Johnson, -while he proposes to secure the freedom of the Cnj???ijy?teu*. jicgiues, UUU to give them every chance to raise themselves in the scale of civilization, desires the early restoration of the South through the action of the intelligent white jieople. The radicals would only restore the South on tho basis of negro barbarism, for the sake of per? petuating their power through negro votes. Tho people everywhere aro taking sides on this great issue, and by next November it will be so well understood that the election will turn upon it and it alone. Mr. Johnson's policy, as shown in his messages to Congress, and in his firm resistance to negro supremacy, will and must bo tho platform on one side, and negro supremacy, with a negro balance of power na provided for in the Recon? struction Acts and coarse of a radical Congress, will he the platform on the other. The election cannot be con? tested ou any other ground. The popular name of Grant or of any other hero of the war will have little weight against the great principle in? volved. Should Grant take a nomi? nation ou the radical platform he will be defeated, as another popular gene? ral, Scott, was. Men or names will amount to little in tho coming con? test; principles will bo everything. Nor can he or any other candidate succeed by ignoring tho principles at issue and by standing upon personal popularity only. Mr. Johnson stands alone at present as the repre? sentative of the conservative side, for ho has made the issue and the solu? tion of it depends upon his action. He is, as has been said before, master of tho situation. He cannot be set aside. He must either be the conser? vative candidate, or must name one to take his place. Mr. Chase is the representative cf the other side-o? radicalism, of negro supremacy, of a negro balance of power, and of all the other extremes of the radical party. Should ho and Mr. Johnson be the opposing candidates, they would represent fully and clearly the principles involved. It is possible, however,-that tho radicals may wish to use Grant or some other popular general, with a view of extricating themselves from tho dilemma they are in. But no ono can bring them salvation. The President has broken their party to pieces; they have no? thing to stand upon, and next No? vember will seal their fate forever. The re-action which set in powerfully through the elections last fall, will now be followed by a political revolu? tion that will utterly destroy them. [.Veio York Herahl. I i W.t. AHEAD AS USUAL !

Gentlemen: lam well pleased with tho result of tho uso of tho "Double Refined Poudretto" on my crops. I triod it on both corn and cotton, and am satisfied wborever it was applied tho yield was more than double what it would have boon without it. I regret exceedingly my not neing it moro extensively tho present year, but will try to make up my loss by purchasing a larger quantity next spring. I regard it as tho cheapest, most reliable, and easiest man acjnd fertilizer within MTIV knowledge, and cheerfully recommend it fas I havo tried it thoroughly) to tho farmers of this section, and particularly to those planting cotton, from tho fact bf ita causing |it to mature from ton days to two weeks earlier than it would without tho uso of tho Poudretto. I also used it on my gardon, and found it of much benefit to all kinds of plantH. Ycry respectfully, Ac. G. S. OGLESBY. Extract from a lettor received from Prof. Martin, of Hampden. Sidney Collogo, Va., dated July 1, 18G7: Tho Double Befiucd Foudrotto is operat? ing like a charm on my crop, and attract? ing universal attention from all beholders. I am already satisfied that it is thc cheap? est and surest renovator of our worn-out lands. - High Slioals, Ga., October 4, 18G7. Jame.? R. Dey, Esq. SH*; Tho Doublo Refined Tcidrette I bought for two other parties in connection with myself-ono of them usod it on cotton and corn, and thinks it answered finely; tho other put it on cotton, on very poor ground, and thinks it doubled bis crop. I used it on corn. It answered finely, and was thought by tho hand that cultivated the crop to be "fully equal to Rhode's Super Phosphate I also used it on abont an acre of cotton, and I am clearly of opinion that it is the best and cheapest fertilizer in use, and I expect to order several tons this winter. Yours, verv respect full v, ISAAC POWELL. Ellaville, Schley Co., Ga., Oct. 4, 1867. The Double Refined Poudretto, pur? chased of you last spring, I think, in? creased my crop of cotton 150 pounds per acre; put it upon worn-out pine land, at the rate of 200 pounds per acre, drilled in with cotton seed.

Yours very respect full v. HENRY C. DAVIS. Hooky Mount, Kdgecomb Co., X. C. -Yoe 13. James R. Dey, Esq. Sir: In reply to your Inquiry of the re? sults of our experience in the USC of your improved Poudretto-purchased of you tor this year's cotton crop-wo would beg leava to say that thc present season has been one quite unfavorable to thc action e.f all fertilizers. Several kinds of manures wero used by us, with tho except' n e>f ymir Poudretto, with little or no effect to the crop. Where the Poudretto waa need, itgavo Us near half a bale more per acre, and caused the cotton to open much e .rlier; mut we would, therefore, recommend the same as ;i concentrated manure b-r tho growth of cotton, a? well as Improvement to the soil.
