The “ Examiner” on Mr. Stephens.
This Ishmaeliie of journalism charges that
Vice President Stephens is «« favor of “ Re
organization,” and so carefully arranges its
language as to leave the idea on the mind of
the reader that he is in favor of a reconstruc
tion of the Union.
If the editor of the “Examiner” did not
know this charge was baseless, he is not com
petent to conduct a public journal; and if he
inew the charge was not true when he made
it, he is unfit to control the columns of a
newspaper.
Mr Stephens made a speech at the Athen
ians, in Savannah, on the evening of the
21st March last. This was before Sumter
fell, and while every body expected us to have
a peaceable adjustment of our difficulties
with the North, and that secession would be
accomplished without bloodshed. Our com
missioners went to Washington early in
March. They presented their credentials,
and bad made reports to our Government,
that the prospects of peace were very encour
aging. This was the way matters stood when
Mr. Stephens made that speech at Savannah.
Io another column we reprint that portion
of the speech which relates to this subject.
Read it, all, and consider the circumstances,
the relations then existing between us and
the U. S Government—and see how basely
he is slandered in charging that he is in favor
of re constructing the U. S. Government, or
even of re-organization ! No fair minded man
would make such a charge, with all the facts
before him.
At Hand.
President Davis has gone to the Army of
the Potomac.
The news from Washington is, that the fed
orals hud taken Munson's Hill from us. Os
course, this is not true ; but we think it very
likely that our army is falling back, that, the
Yankees may be drawn out from their hiding
places behind the fortifications on Arlington
Heights. If so, we shall have a tight that
will be a decisive one.
Public Opinion in France.
John Mitchell, writing from Paris to the
Charleston Mercury, on the 27th August,
says:
The South is rising into high favor in
Prance. People are setting about to revise
their old impressions, and to conceive that
there must have been something wrong in the
Uncle Tom literature they have so long been
dosed with. Is it not strange that the South
ern side in our long controversy, had been
ably, lucidly and long ago expounded and
eutorced tn books and in pamphlets by South*
eru men, yet nobody in Europe read them,
or knew of their existence. In vain Calhoun
vindicated States Rights. In vain Southern
Institutions have been vindicated by Govern
or Hammond, Professor Dew, by Deßow,
Ruffiu, Spratt, and many other competent
mets Nobody began to think of seeing what
was to be said ou that, side of the question,
until after the battle of Bull Run. To open
a passage of ideas into the world’s stupid
bead, tbete i< nothing like the edge of the
sword. The French are peculiarly alive to
the value of this method of tuition ; inso
much that military gallantry and dash are,
in iho eyes of this nation, almost a guarantee
for ihe possession of every other high quali
ty, intellectual and moral. They greatly
reverence the principle of payer de »a pertonne,
and have not failed to contrast the gallantry
of Southern gentlemen and statesmen at Ma
nassas with the behaviour of the Yankees
who hired Irishmen and Germans to bear the
brunt. It is for this reason the notion of
President Davis in hurrying to the field from
Richmond has done more service to the South
in the minds of Frenchmen, than any other
single factor argument, though, in fact, the
Pieaidtnt acted wisely as well as boldly ; for
it the rout had takeu place Southward in
stead of Northward on that day, it was not
worth the while to live—Richmond, nor the
world, would have been no place for him. *

SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
“ Reorganization.”
[Extract from the Speech of Hon. Alexander
H. Stephens, at the Athenmura, in Savannah,
on the evening of March 21, 1861]
We are a young Republic just entering upon
the arena ol nations; we will be the architect
of our own fortunes. Our destiny, under Prov
idence, is in our own hands. With wisdoms
prudence and statesmanship on the part of our
public men, and intelligence, virtue and pa
triotism on the part of the people, success, to
the full measure of our most sanguine hopes,
may be looked for. But if we become divided
—if schisms arise—if dissensions spring up—if
factions are engendered—if party spirit, nour
ished by unholy personal ambition, shall rear
its hydra head, I have no good to prophesy for
you. Without intelligence, virtue, integrity
and patriotism on the part of the people, no
republic or representative Government can be
durable or stable.
We have intelligence and virtue and patri
otism. All that is required is to cultivate and
perpetuate these. Intelligence will not do with
out virtue. France was a nation of philoso
phers. These philosophers became Jacobins.
They lacked that virtue, that devotion to mor
al principle, and that patriotism which is so
essential to good Government. Organized upon
principles of perfect justice and right—seeking
amity and friendship with all other powers—
I see no obstacle in the way of our upward and
onward progress. Our growth by accessions
from other States will depend greatly upon
whether we present to the world, as I trust we
shall, a better Government than to which they
belong. If we do this, North Carolina, Ten
nessee and Arkansas cannot hesitate long; nei
ther can Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri. —
They will necessarily gravitate to us by an
imperious law. We made ample provision in
our Constitution for the admission of other
Strtes; it is more guarded, and wisely so, 1
think, than the old Constitution on the same
subject, but not too guarded to receive them as
fast as it may be proper. Looking to the dis
tant future, and, perhaps, not very distant ei
ther, it is not beyond the range of possibility,
and even probability, that all the great States
of the Northwest shall gravitate this way as
well as Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkan
sas, Ic. Should they do so, our doors are wide
enough to receive them, but not until they are
ready to assimilate with us in principle.
The process of disintegration in the old Un
ion may be expected to go on with almost ab
solute certainty. We are now the nucleus of
a growing power, which, if we are true to our
selves, our destiny and high mission will be
come the controlling power on this continent.
To what extent accessions will go on in the
process of time, or where it will end, the fu
ture will determine- So far as it concerns
States of the old Union, they will be upon no
such principle of reconstruction as spoken of,
but upon reorganization and new assimulation.
[Loud applause.] Such are some of theglimpses
of the future as I catch them.
But at first we must necessarily meet with
the inconvenience and difficulties and embar
rassments incident to all changes of Govern
ment. These will be felt in our postal affairs
and changes in the channel of trade. These in
conveniences, it is to be hoped, will be but
temporary, and must be overcome with pa
tience ami forbearance.
As to whether we shall have war with our
late Confederates, or whether all matters of
difference between us shall be amicably set
tled, I can only say that the prospect for a
peaceful adjustment is better, so far as I am
infoamed, than it has been.
The prospect of war, is at least not so threat
ening as it has been. The idea of coercion
shadowed forth in President Lincoln’s inaug
ural, seems not to be followed up thus far so
vigorously as was expected. Fort Sumter, it
is believed, will soon bo evacuated. What
course will be pursued towards Fort Pickens
and the other forts on the Gulf, is not so well
understood. It is to be greatly desired that all
of them should be surrendered. Our object is
Peace, not only with the North, but with the
world. All matters relating to the public prop
erty, public liabilities of the Union when we
were members of it, we are ready and willing
to adjust and settle, upon the principles of
right, equality and good faith. War cau be of
no more benefit to the North than to us, and
subjugating us is utterly preposterous. Wheth
er the intention of evacuating Fort-Sumter is
to be received as an evidence of a peaceful so
lution of our difficulties with the United States,
or the result of necessity, I will not undertake
to say. I would fain hope the former. Rumors
are afloat, however, that it is the result of ne
cessity. All I can say to you, therefore, on that
point is, keep your armor bright and your
powder dry. [Enthusiastic applause.]
The surest way to secure peace, is to show
your ability to maintain your rights. The
principles and position of the present Admin
istration of the United States—the Republican
party—present some puzzling questions. While
it is a fixed principle with them never to al
low the increuse of a foot of slave territory,
they seern to be equally determined not to part
with an inch “of the accursed soil.” Notwith
standing their clamor against the institution,
they seem to be equally opposed to getting
more or letting go what they have got. They
were ready to tight on the accession of Texas,
and are equally ready to fight now on her se
cession. Why is this ? How can this strange
paradox be accounted for ? There seems to be
but one rational solution—and that is, not
withstanding their professions of humanity,
they are disinclined to give up the benefits
they derive from 'slave labor. Their philan
thropy yields to their interest. The idea of
enforcing the laws has butone object, and that
is a collection of the taxes raised by slave la
bor to swell the fund necessary to meet tbeir
heavy appropriations. The spoils is what they
are after—though they come from the labor of
the slave. [Continued applause ]
Mr. StephenS stated that he had not been
without apprehensions that our cutting loose
from the old government “would be attended
with more serious ills among ourselves) than
it had been.” He then paid a glowing trib
i ute to the “ wisdom, prudence and patriot
| ism which had marked every step of our pro
gress ‘up to that time. “ This,” said he, ex
ultingly, “augurs well for the future, and it
• is a matter of sincere gratification to me that i
II am enabled to make the declaration of the
men I met in Congress at Montgomery t (and
I may be pardoned for saying this,) an abler,
wiser, a more conservative, deliberate, deter*
mined, resolute, patriotic body of men I nev
er met in my life ' [Great applause.] Their
works speak for them ; the Provisional Govs
ernment speaks for them; the Constitution
of the Permanent Government will be a last
ing monument of their worth, merit and
statesmanship.” [Applause.]
lie further said : “It is the first Government
ever instituted in strict conformity to Nature, and
the ordination of Providence.”
After thus showing that we had the best
government on earth, which the world could
not help seeing and feeling, and which people
who had a worse, could not help desiring to
adopt, he pointed to the probabilities of our
growth and expansion. The Constitution
had made ample provision for the admission
of new States—not such as existed under the
Constitution of the U. S.—far from any such
looseness ; but ample. He looked to the ac
quisition of all the then border slave States,
“by the law of gravitation”—an “imperious
law” which they could not resist, and then
said : “ It is not beyond the range of possi
bility, and even probability, that all the great
States of the Northwest shall gravitate this
way and be said that when this did take
place, if it ever did, it would “be upon no
such principle as re construction, but upon re*
organization and new assimulation. Such are
some of the glimpses of the future as I catch
them.”
This is all. He did not advocate anything
of the kind. He nowhere said he was in fa
vor of such a policy ; he only said he looked
upon it as not beyond the range of possibili
ty or probability in looking to our future.
And here let us bring the question home
to the understanding of every man in the
Confederate States: Suppose our separation
had been peaceable—as nearly everybody
then thought it would—and suppose, in time
to come, the State of Illinois had adopted the
institution of slavery—her people becoming
slaveholders, identified with the institution
as we are—and should then have asked ad
mission into the Confederate States. Who
would have voted against it ? Would the edi
tor of the Richmond “Examiner?” If so,
he is a poor statesman, and not fit to give ad
vice to the public. Mr. Stephens did not say
he was in favor of this much ; he looked up
on it as “not beyond the range of possibility” in
the future.
He said of these North Western States, if
they should gravitate towards us, “our doors
are wide enough to receive them : but not un
til they are ready to assimilate with us in
principle,” that is, when they bocome slave
holding.
