Tho overwhelming evidences aud proofs adduced that a majority of the party is with us on this great issue, the Courier-Journal docs not undertake to assail, except l»y simple denial. That Joumid, however, in a double-leaded ar ticle, assails our position, and the issue thus made by us, iu tho following words, which arc given in ftnl. Tim Imuc.

From all Hub, then, it clearly up] Main, to an, that the Courier- Journal never will give it*consent to sup port any Candidate or Platform, which docs not sanction as “verities” and “final ities,” and endorse as “rig/it/ul acts," the •o-e*Ued “Constitutional Amendments.” We thought, from the beginning, that Chit was the meaning of the nnthora of tho - ‘New Departure” movement. It wa* because of our belief that this was their real meaning and intention, that we have opposed it aa we have. The object, as wo undertand thia article of the Courier- Journal, ia therein openly avowed. If we mietmcUnUnd the position of our co temporary, wo wish to be corrected. If we understand the Editors of the Courier- Journal, they arc not for unity in tho Democratic Party against the usurpa tions, npon whieh the “fraudulent amendments” rest solely/or their existence, because they do not believe that they were usurpations. Are we right in onr nndemtnadUg of the position of tho Courier-Journal on tho subject? They propone to disonss with ns the questions presented in our article of 19th Septem ber. Let ns tbon distinctly understand what lathe question to be diseusssed. We have maintained and do maintain that the usurpations, by which the 11th and 15th amendment*, to-called, to tho Con stitution were most glaring, foul and flagitious. Does the Courier-Journal join issue foolish political humbug of the Speaking of M-. Stephens, this able cranked organ of the new.der stnpid sheet, the Memphis Avalanche, that claim* to he the aathor of the most age.-- dclect- orgsn of the new. departure thus blows: “Somehow or other, his voice for open war is no longer heeded tin this way.— Down iu Columbus, Qeorgia, the Daily Sun, of that city, keeps up its firing, bangiDg away as often as Mr. Stephens gives the order.” Here, in less than five lines, two dis tinct falsehoods are asserted. Mr. Ste phens was never an advocate for “open war,” exoept against rogues and royal ist*,” and it U well known bore, what ever may be unknown among the mam mies of Memphis, that we were “firing and banging" at sneh cattle as the Ava lanche years before Mr. Stephens assailed tjie vermin now gnawing and crawling over the social and political bones of the Sooth. Aa an old Clay and Webster Whig we have rooeivod few “orders” Mr. Hte] we dii to “bang away,’’but with him, we never vith us on this point ?. We also hkve maintain maintained and do main tain that tto amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States, retting solely upon usurpation tor its exiitcnce, is a valid part of tho fundamental law of tho land. Docs the Courier-Journal join issue with ns upon this point ? Wo also have maintained and do main tain that, whonever a case comes before any oonrt, under “Enforcement Acts” or ‘Ku-Ktnx Bills,” involving tho validity of these stupendous frauds upon Public Liberty,,it »iU be not only the riyht bat the duty of the Conrt to hold them to bo utterly nnll and void I Does the Courier-Journal join issue with us on this point ? Is this position of ours what ba styles tho “revolutionary” 'plan” of ‘'Mr. Stephens ?” It is trno this is one of very many effi cient modes whiob, os we maintain, the people hsvo of getting rid of the tyronni : cal operation of those measures, but, wherein is it, or either of tho others, Rev olutionary ? Wo want a specific answer to this. Moreover, we ask wherein is uuy of onr premises flits? Tho Courier-Journal says our "adirepremise is false." Will onr cote in pomry show wherein, in a single particular, it is cither false, or nn- tonable ? We bavo noticed the article of the Courier-Journal, copied above in fnl), and accept tho offer, therein made, to discuss tbo questions presoutod iu our article of 19th September, with the sole purpose of promoting the public good; and with no intention of bandying epithets with that Journal. Whotbcr tho truths, ns wc hold them to be,which we proclaim and msiutain, arc in deed nothing but tho omanntious of "sheer lunacy," as onr eotemporary announces them to be, in “measured” and “precis*” langnnge; or whether “the propositions” adduced by ns nets npon “a principle of •etion," “which is a burlesque upon the common sense and ordinary intelligence of the times,” we will, vory contentedly, leave Tot* that intelligence to judge for it self. llut, if the Courier-Jottnud lias no better ansicer at commuud to show tliut Mr. Stephens' plan for -‘tho overthrow of tho Haditfsls,” is utterly "cravy," than tho prophecy mads by him, to which lie rc- fert, thu Editors uf that paper had bettor ho looking to tho soundness of Uicir own uppur story. Mr. Stephens never made any such propey as that gross would grow in tho si roots of New York. Tho 1 entire premise" sif our cutouiporory in this particular, is entirety without founiht- lion. Mr, Stephens never uttered any such nonssgfe as that. Wc, moreover, think our cotemporary will prove to l>o quite aa f mil a prophet, ns ho unwillingly sup poses Mr. Stephens to bavo been, in his assertion that our article would bo "re- published in every Radical nclttjiapcr in the country. ” Our urticlu* arc just wliat lUdicol newspapers, generally, do not republish; aadff our cotomporary baa aeon, or shall, that tme iu a single Radical sheet, from Maine to California, ho will oblige l by scudiug it to us. Wa receive a goodly number of Radi cal exchanges -aa many, perlwps, as the Courier- Journal— and wc have never jet seen a single article of oun republished iu a single one of them. The re publica tion of an article of ours in a Radical sheet is whut we never expect to see. A. H. 8. |R»l the Colmubu. Hull October Srt. lull.) Mn Hteiiheus and Ills EneMles. We call the particular atteutioa of our reader* to a portion of a reply made by Mr. Stephens to a oorreepondent of the Augusta Constitutionalist. The enemies of Mr. Stephens lysing oomploteiy foiled in tlieir pnny efforts on the field of argu- , are now foeoad to tic low, or resort to toe greuteet uiiarepresentotions or the vilest forgeries. Almost every new depar ture parper wa open teems with person al slang and political slander against thia pare man ana patriot, who to-dav occu- ' a the vary gaowad toil lately deaerted his proacut vilhflcrs. They imaf ly, that if the high mark st wl they aim can be hit with their poiaoned shafts, tha* the true principles to law and liberty whieh he illustrates, will fall with him and die. Their shots, of the acorn and laughter of the world, fall short of the object The arrowa sent by two feeble arms to bend tho bows, stick harmlessly ih tha mod, or madly blander through the viewless sir. A small specimen of this nonsensical abuse, more impotent and nonsensical because it is not coaplod with cither truth or wit wo quote from that dirty, fired the first piratical abut into his colors, always floating plainly to the breexe.— We never misunderstood or affected to misunderstand bis position, for bis mind ia so dear, and bis language so terse, that if we did have occasion to misrepre scot we would rather suspect oar own prejudices and stupidity, than a wont of ability in Mr. Stephens to muks himself understood.
