the political compass was boxed, until the peo

perfidy, gave at the .ballot box a quietus to
their, rain pretensions. Routed, horse, foot,

had seised upon that parly indicative of
its destruction in each of those States ; and

-M Horutio Ring eqa Jts us to state that
he was complete y eyr. rant ot the nature id
the K/mmunicatinn a n brougb bint to the
UrMiden’. He receiv d :• turougb tne mail,
did it, ho, (Mr. Miller) although lie had sup
ported him for twelve or thirteen years, an d
was not a member of the American order,
abandoned him.
3. Mr. Miller charged that Mr. Stephens
had said in a speech in the House of Repre
sentatives, that Kansas, under the operation
of the laws of climate, Ac., would be a free
State. He read a report of his remarks up
on this subject from a newspaper and appeal
ed to Mr. Stephens to know if it was correct.
Mr. Stephens promptly replied that it was
not, and Mr. Miilet as promptly withdrew
the charge.
4. Mr. Miller charged that Mr. Stephens,
in a public speech at some place, during the
last canvass in this district for Congress,
had said, ‘elect me and save Kansas,’ and
gave as his authority for the charge, Malcolm
Jones, E up, of Burke county.
5. Mi. Miller read from the Constitution
alist of 1853, a portion of Mr. Stephens
speech delivered in the House of Represent
atives in 1845, upon the annexation of Tex
as. It was published in that paper in juxta
position with a letter of Mr. Dix of New
York, written in 1853 to Dr, Garvin of this
city, and introduced in a few remarks by
the then Editor of the Constitutionalist, in
which he asked, ‘If Mr. Dix is a Freesoiler>
what is Alexander Hamilton Stephens
The portion ot Mr. Stephens’ speech read
by Mr. Miller was as follow'
*• / am no defender of flovery in the abstraet.
Liberty always had charms for me, and 1
would rejoice, to sec all the sons of Adam's
fin ily, in every land and cliine, in the enjoy
ment of those rights which are set forth in
our Declaration of Independence as ‘natural
and inalienable,' if a item necessity bearing
the marks and impreu of the band nf the Crea
tor himself, did not in some rases interpose and
prevent.'
Mr. Miller defended Mr. Stephens from
‘.he charge made by tlte Constitutionalist
(winch by the way was not made) that he
was a Freesoiler, declared that he did not
believe lie was, and seemed to have read the
extract, for tne occasion which it afforded
him to declare, as he did, that he was ‘a de
fender of slavery in the abstract.'
6. Mr. Miller approved the doctrine of
non-intervention —approved the resolution of
the Democratic State Convention, demand
ingtlie recallo, W aiker—denounced Walker,
denounced Buchanan and the membars of
his cabinet, (refering particularly to Mr
Cobb) for his treachery to the South, in
sustaining Walker in his violation of the
principles of the Kansas-Nebraslta act, stat
ed that the northern democracy would sus
tain him, and then stated that if he had been
l" Congress at the time of the passage of the
Kansas-Nebraska art, with the lights before
him, he would hare rated uguinst it.
1. Mr. Miller stated that Mr. Stephens had
said in his address to the voters of the dis
trict, in reference to Mr. Buchanan's admin
istration, that‘apart from this Walker busi
ness, no administration has ever, in my day,
so full; met my cordial approval,’ and he
called upon him to state what it had done
j to secure from him this hearty endorsement
• of approval, and by what us history, thus
: lar, iiad been marked, except treachery to
the South in this Walker business, and
tread., ry to me Kansas-Nebraska act, with
which Mr. Stephens in his address had said
j that he was identified.
! We have given, we believe, the substance
I of Mr. MTier's spt-ech. If there is anything
I of ai.v importance omitted by us. or ineor-
j rec.iy stated, he can have the use of r. u{ co |.
j urnns to supply it or to correct it.
I Mr. Stephens, rising to reply, begged that
j his auditors would remain perfectly ,;uiet<
| as iie had but a short time in which to ad-
. dress them, and desired that everything he
j said should be heard ar.d understood. This
) request was not heeded, for almost every
sentence he uttered was received withshouts
of applause, and he had frequently to pause
in the midst of a sentence, and wait until the
''to Mr.
he asks

AdniaMrntlon tkoold fio. What had Mr
BnmaxAX done, to recommend hint to the coo-
fidence cf aonthm mto l. He bad appointed
four southern ratoai member* of hi* cabinet,
sod from tb* Narthttlmdtelected three oth
era who fcnd beta dtotpgntord for their Arm,
unyielding and uulflek devotion to the consti
tutional right* of lb* South. Two of them, Gen.
Cars and Mr. Torcn, had sacrificed them-
relvcs at borne, and been defeated by Black
Republicans because they stood by the South in
ber hour of need, and Mr. Bcciian.i* had
shown his appreciation of their broad nation
ality, and bis inclination to protect the north,
era defenders of southern rights, by calling
them to the high office and selecting them as
his Cabinet advisers. What had he done ?—
Ue had, in hia inaugural address, done more
than any man who had preceded him in the
Presidential office ever bad done, in giving in
his adhesion in advance of its delivery to the
principles of the Dred Scott decision ofthe Sa.
prente Court, and proclaiming, as a rule for
the conduct o! his Administration, the true
doctrine of southern eqolity in] the Territories
of the Union. What had he done ? He had
given us the whole goveramental organization
of the Territory of Kansas, had recognised the
laws of the Territory of Kansas, hud recognis
ed the laws of that Territory, against which
the Black Republicans hud revolted, ami hud
placed southern uieo in every office of honor or
influence in the Territory, and had placed no
man in office in Kansas, or nuywbere else,
who was not pledged to sustain the Kansas-
Nebraska act aud all the other legislation of
Congress, which secured to the Fouth her rights
under tne Constitution. What had he done ? —
What hud he not done which a southern tuuu,
with any propriety cuuld ask that u President
ofthe United States should do.
Mr. Stkpukns then denied emj hatically that
he had ever denounce.) members of the Ameri
can Order, ns "midnight assassitis” in uny
speech be had ever made. He had never, in
any public speech, suid anything of the mem
bers of the American party, which was design
ed to wound their feelings, or which ought to
have wouuded their feelings. His best and
truest Iriends were memb;rs of that Order.—
No feeling with him was stronger than that of
gratitude. He was grateful to them for their
loog and unwavering support of him, but be
cause he was grateful to them—because he was
under obligations to them—because they were
his friends, he felt it his duty to speak plainly
to them and to warn them of the dangers which
lay in the path they were pursuing when they
connected themselves with the American Order.
The Order be had denounced—not its members
He bud denounced it in 1S55, at the City Hall
in Augusta—lie bad denounced it when it wus
thought to be irresistible, and he could
not be expected to deny that he had done this
now that it was dead—that nobody defended it
—and that this honorable competitor who
charged it upon him, thought that his b(at re
commendation to the people of this District
was the fact that he never belonged to it!—
He had deuounced it, as an organization tend
ing, like the Jacobin clubs cf France, to the
subversion of all government, aud the inaugu
ration of anarchy, and as an organization de
structive of all the social virtues of our people,
and for these reasons, and in this way, ho was
stiil ready to denounce it. ilis opponent (Mr.
M iller) had no occasiou to abandon him after
supporting him tor twelve or thirteen years,
upon the ground that be bad denounced the
members of the Americau Order—because he
had not done it, and in this connection, refer
ing to Mr. Miller’s statement, that be had
sustainec him for twelve or thirteen years, he
rema ked, thnt he hnd represented the Eighth
district only (our years—had been a ,candidate
lor Congress twice, and Mr. Miller had voted
for him once, and against him once. Tbb was
an illustration of Mr. Miller’s loose way of
stating facts.
Mr. Stephens then denied that he had ever
sail in any public speech, “elect me and save
Kunsus.” He had Lever as u candidate for
CoDgress, made a speech in the place where
Mr- Miller had charged that he had made use
of this expression. If Mr. Jones stated that
he had, Mr. Jones was mistaken. When a
candidate for ti e last Congress, the repeal of
the Kansas-Nebraska act was the great que-s-
tiuu agitated at the North. He had besought
the people of this District to stand by that act
and by those who would sustain it, butbe never
had said “ elect me and save Kansas."
Mr. Stephens then referred to that portion
of his Texas speech which bad been quoted by
Mr. Miller, remarking that the Constitutional-
isl. in 1853, bad published it, he supposed, in
juxtaposition with the letter of Mr. Dix or Dr.
Garvin, not so much to show that he was a

a free State, less devoted to the principles of
liberty, or less opposed to " slavery iii the ab
stract,” because it recognized the institution
of African slavery. 11 enslaved blacks, but it
was still as free a State as Massachusetts.-
Mr. Miller, iu asserting that hs was “ a de
fender of slavery in the abstract,” had assert
ed a doctrine which would justify the enslave
ment of white men, and all Ihc oppression and
tyranny which had over been praetiqe'J against
them.
Mr. Stephen', alter tints confounding the

pared to defi ud ugain-i Gov. Walker or t 1
Administration, the right of the people of
Kansas in ccnvention, to settle the question of
slavery “ in their own way." His conviction
wet-, that the Administration would delend
this right of the people of Kansas, and that
tbe national Democracy would un te in pro
tecting it. Mr. Miller had stated that Mr.
Buchanan approved ol everything Walker
had done. Where was the proof? Mr. Miller
had stated that all the Northern Democrats
elected to the next Congress, would sustain
fUalker. Where was the proof? He had
seen it stated in a newspaper that Mr. Wall; r
had stated to some gentleman that his Inaugu
ral Addre=s bad been submitted to the Pr- si-
dent aud to Mr. Douglas, before its delivery,
und nppn v.-d by them. He did not belie ve it.
The President Lad very recently wi Utcn a let
ter to u number of clergymen und others, who
had protested against bis action in reference t«
Kansas, in which he recognized the legality of
the laws under which the constitutional con
vention of Kansas would be held, affirmed the
true principles of the Kansas-Nebraska net ard
taken issue with Gov. Walker upon no impo-«
tant point in bis plan of adjustment. As to
Mr. Douglas, be bad tire l---st evidence that
tb s statement in reference to him was nt t
tiue. Mr. Stephens then read from Mr. Doug
las' speech, delivered some months ago, at
•Springfield, 111., iu which that gentleman had
broadly and boldly nssrrted the true princi
ples of the Kansas act, and bad declared that
the people of Kansas, in Convention, had the
right to determine the question for thera'clvcs,
and in their own way, with no limitation t.f
their right in the premises but the Constitution
of tbe United Slates, This wus Mr. Doug
las' p-ositiou, and he believed that it would be
sustained by tbe Democratic supporters of the
Kansas bill at the North. But whilst it-prc-
beuding the course of Walker, and of all who
might sustain him, they were with him infi
nitely pre erable to the houorable gentleman
who was his competitor for a seat in the next
Congress. Far r s they were from him in sym
pathy and in principle, tbut gentleman was in
finitely farther—as much farther as the stars
ore beyound the planets of our solar system.—
They rni'interprc-tcd the Kansas net—that
gentleman opposes it, and states that if he
had beet, iu Congress when it was upon its
passage, he would hare voted against it. They
were in favor of permitting everybody in the
Territory to vote upon the question of slavery
—that gjntleman opposes the legislation which
opened the Territory to slavery, und gave the
South a chauce to carry its institution* there.
Their policy endangers the iuteres's of the
South iu the Territory—if his policy had been
adopted, tbe South would not have bed any
interests there.
.Mr. Stephens was proceediug farther to il
lustrate his idea that Walker and his support
ers were infinitely preferable to Mr. Miller, in
his position of opeu hostility to the Kan.-bp
act, when tho chairman announced that his
