Bat our difficulties ought not, to b aggravated by this short delay; and they can become so only in one way, yixi by the people advancing the price of supplies upon tneuovernment.. . The chief outlay now is for wheat, Corn fodder and . taeat; woolen and cotton goods; and railroad transpor- tat ion. - For .these 'th Government deal; with the planter, the mabufacturerahd ih Tailroad com pa nles. . Nearly -all its foreign supplies are new imported through its own agencies, and adds but little either to ' the circulation or the funded debt. , t " For the home purchase enumerated, and all other domestic expenditures, it is estimated that the outlay will not exceed three hundred millions from the 1st of Jul; to the 2"At December, provided that jriccs are not advanced beyond those of last year. . These ex penditure! are thus under thealm:st absolute con' rot ... of those three interests. .And of these the planters are the chief in number, importance and influent;. They hold the entire supply of food for the soldiers in the field and his family at home. Will they advance the prices of food and with an abundant harvest T I . hope and believe they will not,. ' ' , . Ue that as it may, it is a nek that has been uelibcr . ately undertaken by Congress, in, the arrangements of - the two bills, and upon them the responsibility rests. - The Virgin1 a planters have nobly done their duty, in holding wablie meetings and opposftg ioy advance of , the schedule prices for xheir productions; and we mnst hope that their brethren in other States will not dis- play a smaller .share of patriotism and wis torn. There is no-class so'deeply concerned as themselves in keep ing down the expenses of the Government. They are the great property holders of the country and upon them must at last rest the chief burden of the publio debt. There 'can be n escape from its ultimate pay ment; even now the bonds of the Government in im .mense sums are daily, passing into the bands oi" for- etgnfers, and coming more a a. J more -under the protec-.- ' tion of international obligations. And Oar people are thus blindly allowing the only description of seourtiy . that will tuaintaia -its f resect valae on the return of - peace to pas1nto the hands of strangers, while they themselves are employing the large suras .paid thera by the Government for domestic productions, to ipfl ite more'and more. the prices of all descriptions of prop erty, only to find their supposed gains swept away'by . the ruinous decline that will follow the return of peace. If the p.'anters siw their true interests tbey would be first to insist oponjow prices and prudent eipen ' ditures. And the proceeds of every bushel of corn , would be invested by them ia Government securities, that they might themselves become (be receivers of the future taxes. Tours most respectfully, , ' G. A.
