This we do, as it is our purpose to make some comments on it, which we wish to submit to our readers generally, and to the editors of the Courier-Journal specially. The article throughout is directed, pointedly, at the Political Editor of Tut StWj who la represented as holding ex treme views of policy, which will prove disastrous to the Democratic Party of the United States if followed. New, in all sober earnestness, we ask the Courier- Journal, what are these extreme views? What are “those exaggerated utterances of Mr. Stephens" and “ the desperate reme dies" referred to? What ia “Mr. Stephens’ prescription,” whieh the editors at that paper consider “ the eery worst treatment which Georgia could be subjected to," and which they are so “certain” the Dem ocratic Party at large can only be injured by? Let us understand each other. In all that we do, and say on Publio affairs, or on Pnblic questions, we are prompted by no motive bnt the dictates of the moat unalloyed patriotism, guided, as we suppose, by the cloarost principles of rea son and justice. These questions involve issues and results of momentous importance to the present, as well as all future genera tions on this Continent. They should be discussed fairly, fully, and candidly. The Courier-Journal profosscs to be will- ing so to discuss them. Wherein, then, we most respectfully ask the editors of that paper, havo we made any utterances inconsistent with >!>»» Cl meets stated above, or with those high objocts which should be the aim of every faithful sentinel upon tlie watch- tower, in all times of danger and peril? If Georgia is groaning under the weight “of taxation” “piled upon her” by the rapacious robbers and plunderers who ar# devouring her substanco—if she “is hedged in by a wilderness of bayunets" if she is “pressed to the earth by corruption and persecution”—if “the very air” from her seaboard to her mountains is “ thick with tho malaria of misgovernmout,” what, iu the mune of candor, truth and fair dealing, has Mr. Stephens “uttered” in tho midst of these misfortunes, bnt o distinct announcement of tho foots as they exist, and an earnest appeal to the people to rise in their majesty and rectify these iniquitous wrongs at the]hMs? lias hsever advocated any other remedy? Most assur edly he has not Then, art* we to understand that the Cou- rier-Joumal holds it to be u“desjnrate rem edy" to call upon the people to rally to the jtolls as the only sure hojie of correcting the abuses of misgovernment ? What does our cotemporary moan by “desjwrate remeily?" We repeat, let us understand each other. Wo are in pursuit of truth iu all those discussions—we wish no eva sion. The Publio Liberties of this country are in danger. This we thor oughly fJel with the profoundost cmo. lions; but if there is anything “morbid in oar temper,” in looking upon tho threat ening prospect, wo are hot awaro of it We feel that while life lasts wo can suf fer the greater threatening ills—if come they shall—wiA as much composure us wo have suffered, and do suffer those now upon us, and with quito as much equa nimity of temper asany other of the mil lions of the viotims of Power, who may be crushed under the wheels of Empire. But we fed it to be a duty we owe to our fellow dtixens everywhere, to warn them of the ooming danger, jaud to counsel them os to the only way in which, in our judgment, so sad a catastrophe ns the en tire overthrow of free Institutions iu this country can be averted 1 Is there anything 1 'morbid' in this? Was there anything “morii'if in the tern per of Paul, when he urged with eorncst- neee that tho only hope of aafety for the crew, waa not to "Deport” from the (hip ? We repeat, again and again, our request that the Courier-Journal shall state what ia the “desperate remedy" that we recom mend, which will injure either the people of Georgia or the Democratic party at large? Have we asked them to do anything, or recommended them to do anything,except to proclaim the great truth, as we have done, and srtha Co urier-Journal lias done, that Georgia and ten other sister States, “art hedged in by bayonets,” “proceed to the earth by corruptions nod persecu tions," and that “the very air” through out their antira limits “is thick with the malaria of mis-government?" It this on “exaggerated ntteranoe?" oris the “utter ance” any more “exaggerated” when made byWItan when made ty the Gmrier- Journtd. Wilt the “utterance" of theeo great aa-exaggseated truths injure the Democ racy in any State ? Ia this what oar co- tempomyof Louisville, Kentucky, means to be understood as maintaining ? If so, bow ? Let rm have the argument, with the facta and reasons opon which it is founded. We profess to be guided by reason, and no “morbidity” of temper. — The Oourier-Journed admits the imminent danger at eoatiag Empire—bnt says, by way of argument, aa we understand it: “The effect to avert it most be made in “the North—not in the South; and, “when reason cannot bo appeased, the ‘South is asked to yield, at least, its pre judices." Now, why should not the effort be made in the South as well as the North ? The time haa been, it is tone, when the South ern States could do nothing. They were then prostrate under the heel of Despo tism—denied all voice and all representa tion in the Government. This is not so now. Though they still be “hedged in by bayonota," yet their people are now permitted, after a manner, at least, to go to the piolls and there express their o ten free will, without the mandate that if they do not rote as the usurpers require, the re sult will be set aside. Their action is not now the bare registering of Dynastio Edicts for their own degradation. As, therefore, they are now once more politically on foot, why should they re main longer inactive ? Are the Peoples of the Southern States, ia the condition described by the Courier-Journal, less in terested in the questions involved, than the Peoples of the Northern States? Are the Democrats in the'.Soutli leas interest ed in them than the Democrats in the North ? Sorely not. Then why should they not co-operate, and actively co-ope rate, with the friends of Constitutional Liberty in all the States, in a common stonggie for the rescuo and preservation of their common heritage of free Institu tions ? What reason can bo given for their taking no part in tho “effort to avert” the “ooming Empire ?” We do not know the grounds upon whiob the Courier-Journal excluder them; neither do we know what is really meant by the Courier-Journal in the use of these »ds: "Where reason cannot bo appeased, the Booth la ted to yield, at least. Its prejudices." What prcjudicct of tho Booth, and to whoso anking aro they to he yielded? Is it here really meant to characterize the groat truths of tho wrongs which have been inflicted upon tho Pooples of the Southern States aa nothing bat prejudices? It it farther meant by these words, to af firm that these bare “prejudice*” must be yielded to the demands of the “Departure Democracy** of the conntry, which “can not be appeased by reason?" Is this the course recommended by the Courier- Journal to tho Democracy of tho South (and of the North as well), to pursue with a view to save themselves from mis- government, and usurpations? Is this the moaning,? Ia this tho healing “treatment” tho Courier-Journal ad vises for tlie Democracy at this timo?— Are the Peoples of the Southern States, and the unfaltering Democracy of all the States, required to abnegate reason, deny the truth, abjure right, outrage justice, and declare thut all tho most infamous wrongs and iniquitous acts of tho Dynasty now in Power, aro nothing but measures adopted “in the manner and by the authori ty constitutionally appointed?" Are they to do all this, (and thus, in fact, rivet tlie chains of Despotism upon themselves and their posterity forever,) at tho demands of a Faction which “cannot be appeased by reason" with the foolish hope of thus saving their liberties by committing them to such bauds? Is this the “coarse” the “treatment”—tho “remedy” or “pre scription”—of the Courier-Journal? If so, wo say to our contemporary that we, dirulually, will never bo guilty of an act so marked by personal stupidity and base ness as we consider tlio acceptance of this treatment would bo; nor do we beliove that tho Democracy of tho Union will ever subject themselves to tho degrada tion of such “treatment;” for no Pooples will over commit such an act of treachery to Libtrty, who do not deservo to be slaves; and slaves of tho least pitiable character—slaves made so by their own voluntary net. We speak plainly our own sentiments, without wishing to be considered us in tentionally offering any personal offense to anybody who may differ with us.— These art great Public questions, involv ing the characters of wholo Peoples, as well as their liberties. Wo only state the conclusions to which our reason leads us, and determines our owu conduct. Guided by this, we take pleasure in say ing, that we And one thing in the article of tho Courier-Journal, which we fully indorse, and that is this: "In politics, m in war, no good fighting can be done unless wo face the enemy. No ariuy wae over known to win a battle with it* back turned to the enemy; aud it must bo remembered that aide alone doca not pick tho grouud." This is exactly the counsel wo gave tlie Democracy of Georgia in their great civic struggle last year. Borne iu Georgia then, as in Kentucky siuco, wished to turn their backs to tho enemy by “departing” from tlie “ground picked" by the De mocracy from the days of Jefferson, in all contests with Power. Our advice was to “face the enemy." “No army was over known to win a battle with its bock turned to the enemy.” In, pursuance of the advice, the old Jeffersonian banner was hoisted. There wai uo lowering of the flag or departure from principle. The reeult was a brilliant victory. Both Houses of the Legislature were rescued from Radical rule. This is tlie preseut condition to which Georgia is subjected under tho “Stephens prescription,” which the Courier-Journal seems to think so badly of. It vm nothing but tho peaceful, iaw- abiding mode of urging tho pooplo to go to the polls as freemen, and there condemn usurpations, corruptions and all acta of miagovenunent by their rotes, by turn ing out of office bad men, and putting good ones in their places, without any aooepUmcs or indorsement, as “finalities" or “verities" of any of the iniquitous acts of the Rump Congress, known as the “Re construction Measures." Wherein was it either nnwise or inexpedient ? Wherein has any misohief come of it? What evils” hove been " increased by it ?" Why doos tho Courier-Journal com plain of it ? In this connection we take occasion to sflf that the account given in the Courier- Journal, in another article, which we have just seen, of the part taken by the Hon. Linton Stephens in that canvass, is exceedingly erroneous. Tho State Plat form, which was the old Jeffersonian creed, with its time-honored flag unlove rod, was hoisted, as is well known, with his hearty concurrence, to say tho least of it Bat it moicovor received tho unanimous vote of the Convention. It was under this standard, with a dauntless fac ing of the enemy in their fancied strongholds, by the Democracy, that the victory was won. It is true that in some localities, the too timid, under telegraph ed advice of Mr. Samuel Randall, did lower the flag; bat in such places, gener ally, they were beaten. Nothing is truer than what Linton Stephens himself said of the result after the election was over, which was that the flag hoist ed by the Convention had been “least tattered and turn wherever it was borne bold est and held highest in the conflict" But whut we wish to impress upon the minds of the cditois of the Courier- Journal, and all inquirers after truth, is the great fact that Georgia was carried lost year by j/eacefiuUy but firmly facing the enemy at the polls, upon tho “picked” Democratic “ground” of Jeffersonian principles. California and Connecticut were so carried two years ago. Indiana was so carried at her last election. New Hamp shire was so carried this year; and Ken tucky lias been so carried in her late most triumphant viudic&tion of tho right, over all the power ami influence of the Courier-Journal against tho policy of the Democratic leaders of that State. Has not every Democratic victory, achieved in this country from 1800 to tlie preseut day, been won by “facing the enemy ?” Is the “New Departure” movement, so strongly urged by tho Courier-Journal, anything but “turning the back" of the Democratic army “to the enemy"? Is it anything but a retreat from the “picked ground" of the Constitution, on which all its victories in the past have been gained? Under tho blast of this “Key note, was not Conneeticnt lost lust spring? Was not the District of Columbia lost in the same way ? Has not tlie Democracy of California just been utterly routed under tlie fatal blast of tlie same “Key note”? How it will bo iu tlie other States, where it lias beeu sounded, a few months will disclose. But how any man, U]>on any rational principles, with even a common knowl edge of human nature, could expect any thing but defeat upon such a programme we cannot see. The Courier-Journal may rely upon it, that “no good fighting” can be done either in polities or war “unless we face the enemy." If Mr. Morton and his Dynasty are to be displaced from Power, they must bo met and faced iu assaults upon tlieir highest crimes against the liberties of the country,a nd not their smaller offenses, tlie Enforcement Acts, Ktt Klux bill, and tho like. These aie bnt corollaries of tho others. Long as this article is, wo enuuot dis miss the subject without & few words upon the statement that “it is believed” that the Blnir-Broadliciul programme beat the Democracy in 18G8. We have again and again shown that no such belief could bo rationally enter tained by nny one who understands the facts of the cose. But suppose it bo true, is the Democracy to abandon tho cause of Liberty, because they lost ono elec tion m endeavoring to maintain it?— How often did the people of Middlesex, uuder tho advice of Chatham, rally un dauntedly to the polls in vindication of popular rights, against the gross usurpa tion of the House of Commons; and how much more glorious was their ultimate victory, when, by tlieir unfultcriug devo tion to tho Constitution of tlieir country, they saw tho Tory administration finally driven from Power! Have tho People of tho United States less cause to be fervent, constant and un ceasing iu tlie maintenance of tlie prin ciples of tlieir Qovcrnmaut, than were their Brithli ancestors ? Wo believe that tho Democracy were actuated by much higher motives than tho bare possession of office or its emol uments in 18C8; and we trust that they will prove themselves still to be s 1872. At least, all of our advice, coun sel, treatment, proscription, and reme dies for tho political evils of tho day, are based upqji this assumption. It is with tlieso views, wo deeply sym patliisc with the gallant masses, whose late efforts have been sacrificed by tho tmpoti- cy of their leaders in California; and rejoice with those of Kentucky, who have gained so great honors to them selves in the signal scrvico they have rendered the country iu their late elec tion. It seems, however, that the Courier- Journal has quite as little regard for our gratification at their achievement, as for our association in the commou struggle— almost ns little as any Radical sheet— This, it is true, is not a matter of much oonceru to us. But, the oditors of that paper, if they be really iu earnest, in wishing proper “efforts” to be made to “avert” the dan ger of threatening Centralism and Em pire, may, perhaps, think better of us when they know more of us; and when they see the workings of their “treatment,” compared with ours, they may, perhaps, also, appreciate both a little more highly than they now do. A. H. S. From the Loutavlll* Courier Journal. Mb Sep tember. 1871. The Outlook In Kentucky. Every man’s opinions aro Effected more or less by his circumstances and his sur roundings, and the exaggerated ntteran ces of Mr. Stephens may be attributed to tire wretched plight to which much msl administration has reduced tho State of Georgia. Desperate evils seem to require deeperate remedies. Often the remedy, thus desperately chosen and desperately applied, only increases the evil; and rare ly does it modify or avert it In oar 2 union, Mr. Stephens’ prescription is 0 very worst treatment whiob Georgia could be subjected to, and wo are quite certain that the Democratic party at large can only bo injured by it Assuredly in Kentucky, whore our con ditions differ from those that prevail in Georgia, we have everything to loee and nothing to gain by falling into Mr. Ste phens’ morbid temper. Kentucky is sound and well, strong and hearty, cheer ful and robust, and she cannot afford to follow the lead of Georgia. We need no doctors, and least of all Mr. Stephens and Mr. Toombs. To mate with them is like a well man going to bed with a sick man; like an athlete deliberately undertaking the regimen of a consumptive. Counsel from Mr. Stephens, delivered from amid tho misfortunes to which Radicalism has brought Georgia, reminds one of a survey taken from a deep-sunken hollow shut out from the world by hills and trees and made dark and dismal by fogs. Tlie Radicals have piled mountains of taxation upon Georgia. They have hedged Geor gia in by wilderness of bayonets. They have preseed Oeorgia into the earth by corruption and persecution. The very air of Georgia is thick with the malaria of misgovernment. Yet Mr. Stephens, depressed by these circumstances, under takes to sketch the political situation and to trace out the campaign for the Nation al Democracy with nil the clearness of a man who stands upon an eminence over looking the wholo country and for above the heating and misleading influences of tho plain below. All of ns—tho very best und soundest of us—con but sec the future as we may, doing only whut we can. That there is danger no man doubts. Where tho dan ger lies wo arc tolerably Bnre. The effort to avert it mast be made in the North, not in tho South, und, where rea son can not be appeased, the South is asked to yield at least its prejudices. It is believed by the most intelligent snd well informed Democrats that tho Ulair-Broadhead programme of 18Ct) beat us. All of us believed in it and fought for it at the timo, and it lost. It not only lost, but all of that which it pro posed to resist was carried over our heads and has gone into effort We could not make the same fight over again if we wanted to. We could ns easily fight over tho battle of Manassas. We could os easily turn book the course of time itself. In politics, as in war, no good fight ing cun be done unless we face the enemy. No army was ever known to win a battle with its back turned to the enemy ; and it mast bo remembered that one Bide alone does not pick the gronnd. Both sides have a hand in that, each striving to pick the gronnd that seems best suited to its purposes. Six months ago Mr. Morton, of Indiana, undertook, and with great adroitness, to fix the ground for tho Democrats, and he laid down a very pretty plat. It embraced every one of tho positions since taken up by Mr. Stephens and Mr. Toombs and rejected by Mr. Vallandigham, Mr. Pendleton, Mr. Groesbeck, Mr. John Quincy Adams, Judge Black, of Pennsylvania, Judge Doolittle, of Wisconain, and numberless Democratic conventions and Democratic newspapers. These latter object, as we do, to having the Radicul leader fix our plan of aoiion; and wo object to taking Mr. Stephens and Mr. Toombs, with ull their troubles upon them, aa safe guides. Kentucky, in particular, cannot afford to follow them. Kentucky is nothing if she be not national; she is nothing if she be not a bell-tower for all States. Some of her politicians Lave gone a little astray. But there is every sign that a hopeful and healthful augury could wish to see that they will come round all right before the assembling of onr next State Convention. That body will not declare against the amendments, or do nny folly of which the party elsewhere can complain. Even tho local press, which has hitherto been most ybdnrate, ia allowing a practical nnd willing spirit of acquiescence in tho “New Departure," alias the moving np of the Democratic masses in front of tho enemy. A few hot-headed and intemperate per sons may hold out merely for tho fun of abusing tho Courier-Juuriuil, but even tlieso will “come to cubly,” when they find that we ask nothing but wliat is duo a most candid nnd disinterested effort to do our best by the State, the party, and all the poople. Of this class wo can say, as old Sam Houstou once said to his cnomics in Tex as, “If I havo done yon wrong you have hod your revenge; nnd if you have done me wrong, God knows I forgive yon.” We have several months ahead of ua in which to discuss the questions that divide tho Democratic people. Those questions havo been distinctly stated in tlieso col umns. It is all-important that they bo disposed of qow and forever. Hence we shall discuss them as wo have discussed them, abating nono of onr freedom or in dependence, and confident that events, no leas than the popular reason and com mon sense, w ill bear out tho wisdom and integrity of our courso. That being maintained, wc have no quarrel remaining with any Democrat, be he a captain or be he a private soldier, be be a Bourbon or a progressive, and if there is any factious spirit displayed anywhere, it will no couo from our side of tho house. Tho people understand very well the difference between upright and fearless criticism, which spares neither men nor measures, and that sort of factiousness which would rale or ruin, whioh would have its way or raiso a disturbance. The people appreciate also the need of an or gan. iinbought by any clique and unsup ported by any subsidy, which is able and ready to keep watch and guard over tlieir representatives. The politicians arc al ways disposed to separate into cliques and need to be brought into constant pres ence of a candid and impartial inspection. As far aa the leaden aud measures of our own party are ooncemed, they shall be treated with impartiality and candor, and if they mistake this for captiousness, the fault will be tlieir own, not ours, for we have only the publio interest to serve and advance, and havo no motive for being either prejudiced or partial. So much for the harmony whieh some of our friends in the local press are ask ing us not to disturb by quarrels which we hare never engaged in and never dreamed of. About Spoons.
