SPEECH OF
HON A.. 11. STEPHENS,
Delivered in the Hall of the House of Repre
sentatives of Georgia, Wednesday Evening,
Nor. Xith, 1860.
| REPORTED BY A. E. MARSHAL.]
[Continued.]
My honorable friend who addressed you last
night, (Mr. Toombs,) and to whom I listened
with the profoundest atfenticn,a.sk.s il we would
submit to Black Republican rule ? 1 say to
you and to him, as a Georgian, I never would
submit to any Black Republican aggression, up
on our constitutional rights. 1 will never con
sent myself,aS much as 1 admire this Union, for
the glories of the past or the blessings of the
present, as much as it has done for the people
of all t <se States,as much as it has done for civ
ilization ; as much as the hopes of the world
hang upon it; 1 would never submit to aggres
sion upon my rights to maintain it longer ; and
if they can not be maintained in the Union,
standing on the Georgia Platform, where I have
stood from the tune of its adoption, I would be
in favor of disrupting every tie which binds the
States together. I w ill have equality for Geor
v a and for the citizens of Georgia in this U nion,
or 1 will look for new safeguards elsewhere.- —
This is my position. The only question now ,is,
cm they be secured in the I nion. 1 hat is
what 1 am counseling with you to-night about.
Can it be secured ? In my judgment it may be,
but it may not be ; but let us do all we can, so
that in the future, if the worst come,it may nev
er l»e said we were negligent in doing our du
ty to the last.
My countrymen, 1 am not of those who be
lieve this Union has been a curse up to this
time. True, men, men of integrity entertain
different views from me on this subject. Ido
not question their right to do so ; I would not
impugn their motives in so doing. Nor will 1
undertake to say that this Government of our
fathers is perfect. There is nothing perfect in
this world of a human orgin. Nothing con
nected with human nature from man himself to
any of his works. Vou may select the w isest
and best men for your judges, and yet how
many defects are there in the administration of
justice ? You may select the wisest and best
men for vour legislators, and yet how man)
defects are apparent in your laws ? . And it is
so in our Government. But that this Govern
ment of our fathers, with ad its defects, conies
nearer the objects of all good < Governments than
any other on the face of the earth, is my settled
conviction. Contrast it now with any on the
face of the earth. (England said Mr. loombs.)
Mr. Stephens: England my friend says. Well
that is the next best I grant, but 1 think we
have improved upon England. Statesmen tried
their apprentice hand on the Government of
En Hand, and then ours was made. Ours sprung
from that, avoiding many of its detects, taking
most of the good and leaving out many of its
errors, and from the whole constructing and
building up this model Republic —the best
which thehislory of the world gives any account
of. Compare,my friends,this Government with
thataff Spain, Mexico, the South American Re
publics, Germany, Ireland. Are there any sons
of that down-trodden nation here to-night 1 ?
Prussia • or if you travel further East, to lur
key or China. 'Where will you go, following
tlie sun in its circuit round our globe, to find a
government that better protects the liberties o.
its people,and secures to them the blessings u e
enjoy. (Applause.) 1 think that one oi the
evils that beset us is a surf.it of liberty, an ex
uberance of the priceless bl ssings for which
we are ungrateful. We listened to niy honor
able friend who addressed you last night (Mi.
Toombs,) as he recounted the evils of this Gov
ernment. The lirst was the fishing bounties
paid mostly to the sailors ot New England.
Our friend stated that forty-eight years of our
Government was under the administration oi
Southern Presidents. Well, these fishing boun
ties began under the rule oi a Southern 1 resi
dent, 1 believe. No one of them during the
whole forty-eight years ever set his administia
tion against the principle or policy ol them.—-
It is not lor me to say whether it was a wise pol
icy in the beginning; it probably was not, and
I have nothing to Bay in its defence. But the
reason given for it was to encourage our young
men to go tn sea and learn to manage ships.—
We had at Um time but a small navy. It was
thought beat to encourage a class of om people
to become acquainted with sea-faring life, to
become sailors; to man our naval ships. It re
quires practice to walk the deck oi a ship, to
pull the ropes, to furl the sails, to go aloft, to
climb the mast; and il was thought bv ollcnng
this bounty, a nursery might be formed in
which young men would become perfected in
these arts, and it applied to one section of the
country as well as to any other. The result of
this was that in the war of 1812, our sailors,
many of whom came from this nursery, were
equal to any that England brought against us.
At any rate, no small part of the glories of that
war were gained by the veteran tars of America,
and the objects of these bounties was to foster
that branch us the national defence. My opin
ion is, that whatever may have been the reason
at first, this bounty ought to be discontinued
the reason for it at tii .st no longer exists.—
A bill for this object did pass the Senate the
last Congress 1 was in, to which my honorable
friend contributed greatly, but was not reach
ed in the House oi Representatives. I trust
that he will yet see that he may with honor
continue his connection with the Government,
and that his eloquence,unrivalled in the Senate,
mav hereafter as heretofore,be displayed in hat -
ing this bounty, so obroxious to him, repealed
and wiped off from the statute book.
The next evil that my friend complained of
was the Tariff.- Well let us look at that for a
moment. About the time I commenced notic
ing public matters this question was agitating
the country almost as fearfully as the slave
question now is. In 1832 when I was in col
lege. South Carolina was ready to nullify or
secede from tlie Union on this account. And
what have we sum The Tariff no longer dis
tracts the public councils. Reason has tri
umphed! The present Tariff was voted for
• . Massachusetts and South Carolina, The li
on and the lamb lay down together—every man
m the Senate ami House from Mass, and
South Carolina I think voted for it as did my
honorable friend himself. And if it be true,
to use the figure of speech of my Hon. friend,
that every man in the North that works in iron
and brass and wood has his muscle strength
ened by the protection of the Government, that
stimulant was given by his vote and 1 believe
every other Southern man. So we ought not
to complain of that.
Mr. Toombs.—That tariff assessed the duties.
Mr. S.— les and Mass, with unanimity voted
with the South to lessen them, and they were
made just as low Southern men asked them to be,
and that is the rates they now are at If rea
son and argument with experience produced
Buch changes in the sentiments of Massachu
setts from 1832 to 1857, ou the subject of the
Tariff, may not like changes be effected .there
by the same means, reason and argument, and
appeals to patriotism on the present vexed
question, and who can say that by 1875 or
1 MO, Massachusetts may not vote with South
Carolina and Georgia upon all those questions
that now distract the country and threaten its
peace and existence. I believe in the pfwer
and eflcieucy of truth, in the omnipotence of
truth, and its ultimate triumph when properly
wielded. [Applause.)
Another matter of grievance alluded to by
my Hon. friend, was the navigation law’s.—
This policy was commenced under the admin
istration of one of those Southern Presidents
who ruled so well and has been continued
through all of them since. The gentleman’s
views of the policy of these laws and my own
do not disagree. We occupied the same ground
in relation to them in Congress. It is not my
purpose to defend them now. But it is proper
to state some matters connected with their 1
origin.
One of tl>e objects was to build up a commer
cial American Marine by giving American bot
toms the exclusive carrying trade between our
own ports. This is a great arm of national
power. This object was accomplished. "We
have now an amount of shipping not only coast
wise but to foreign countries which puts us in
the front ranks of the nations of the world.—
England can no longer be styled the mistress of
the seas. What American is not proud of the
result ? Whether those laws should be contin
ued is another question. But one thing is cer
tain ho President Northern or Southern has ever
yet recommended their repeal. And my friend’s
efforts to get them repealed was met with but
little favor North or South.
These then were the true main grievances or
grounds of complaint against the general sys
tem of our government and its workings, I mean
the administration of the Federal Government.
As to the Acts of several of the States, I shall
speak presently, but these three were the main
ones used against the common head. Now sup
pose it be admitted that all of these are evils in
tiie system, do they over balance and outweigh
the advantages and great good which this same
government affords in a thousand innumerable
ways that cannot be estimated! Have we not
at the South as well as the North grown great,
prosperous and happy under its operation ?
Has any part of the world ever shown such
rapid progress in the development of wealth,
and all the material resources of national power
and greatness as the Southern States have un
der the General Government notwithstanding
all its defects 1 ?
Mr. Toombs—in spite of it.
Mr. Stephens—My Honorable friend says we
have prospered in spite of the General Govern
ment. I suppose he thinks we might have
done as well or perhaps better without it, than
we have done with it. That may be, and it
may not be, but the great fact that we have
grown great and powerful under the govern
ment as it exists, there is no conjecture or
speculation about that, it stands out bold, high
and prominent like your Stone Mountain to
which the gentleman alluded in illustrating
home facts in his record—this great fact of our
unrivaled prosperity in the Union as it is ad
mitted—whether all this is in spite of the gov
ernment—whether we of the South would have
been better oft 1 without the government is to
say the least problematical. On the one side
we, can only put the fact against speculation
and conjecture on the other. But even as a
question of speculation 1 differ with my distin
guished friend. What we would have lost in
border wars without the Uuion, or what we
have gained simply by the peace has secured
no estimate can be made of. Our foreign trade
which is the foundation of all our prosperity
has the protection of the Navy, which drove
the pirates from the waters near our coast
where they hud been buccaneering for centu
ries before, and might have been still had it not
been for the American Navy under the com
mand of such spirits as Commodore Porter.—
Now that the coast is clear, that our commerce
flows freely outwardly and inwardly we can
not well estimate how it would have been un
der other circumstances. The influence of the
government on us is like that of the atmosphere
around us. Its benefits are so silent and un
seen that they are seldom thought of or appre
ciated.
We seldom think of the single element of oxy
gen in the air we breathe, and yet let this sim
ple unseen and unfelt agent be withdrawn, this
life-giving clement be taken away from this all
pervading fluid around us, and what instant
and appalling changes would take place in all
organic creation!
It may be that we are all that we are in “spite
of the General Government,” but it may bethat
without it we should have been liir different
from what we are now. It is true there is no
equal part of the earth with natural resources
superior perhaps to ours. That portion of this
country known as the Southern States, stretch- ,
ing from the Chesapeake to the Rio Grande is
fully equal to the picture drawn by the Hon.
and eloquent Senator last night, in all natural
capacities. But how many ages and centuries
passed before these capacities were developed
to reach this advanced stage of civilization ’?—
There these same hills, rich in ore, same rivers,
same valleys, and plains, areas they have been
since they came from the hand of the Creator,
uneducated and uncivilized man roamed over
them for how long no history informs us.
It was only under our institutions that they
could be developed. Their development is the
result of the enterprise of our people under ope
rations of the Government and institutions un
der which we have lived. Even our people with
out these never would have done it. The or
ganization of society has much to do with the
development of the natural resources of any
country ur any laud. The institutions of a peo
ple political and moral are the matrix in which |
the germ of their organic structure quickens in
to liie—takes root and develops in form, nature
and character. Oar institutions constitute the
basiii—the matrix from which spring all our
characteristics of development and greatness.—
Look at Greece; there is the same fertile soil,
the same blue sky, the same inlets and harbors,
the same Egean, the same Olympus, there is the
same land where Homer sung, where Pericles
spoke; it is in nature the same old (Treece; but
it is living Greece no more. (Applause.) De
scendants of the same people inhabit the coun
try : yet what is the reason of this mighty dif
ference 1 ? In the midst of present degradation
we see the glorious fragments of ancient works
of art —temples withornamentsand inscriptions
that excite wonder and admiration—the remains
of a once high order of civilization which have
outlived the language they spoke—u|x>n them
all Ichabod is written—their glory has departed.
Why is this so? 1 answer their institutions I
have been destroyed. These were but the fruits
of their forms of government, the matrix from
which their grand development sprung, and
when once the institutions of a people have been
destroyed, there is no earthly power that can
bring back the Promethean spark to kindle them
here again, any more than in that ancient land
of eloquence, poetry and song. (Applause. )
The same may be said of Italy. Where is Rome,
once the mistress of the world? There are the
same seven hills now( the same soil, the, same
natund r< sources; nature is the same, but what
a ruin of human greatness meets the eye of the
traveller throughout the length and breath of
that most down trodden land! Why have not
the peopleofthat Heaven-favored clime the spii it
that animated their fathers *? Why this sad dif
ference? It is the destruction of her institutions
that has caused it; and, my countrymen, if we
sludl in an evil hour rashly pull down and des
troy thos*e mstiTut’ons which the patriotic band
of our lathers labored so long and so hard to
build up, and which have done so much for us
and the world, who can venture the prediction
that similar results will not ensue ‘? Let us
: avoid it if we can. 1 trust the spirit is amongst
I us that will enable us to do it. Let us not rashly
' try the experiment, for if it fails as it did in
Greece and Italy and in the South American Re
publics, and in every other place, wherever lib
erty is once destroyed, it may never be restored
to us again. (Applause.)
There are defects in our Government, errors
in administration, and short comings of many
kinds, but in spite of these defects and errors
Georgia has grown to be a great State. Let us
pause here a moment. In 1850 there was a
great crisis, but not so fearful as this, for of all
I have ever passed through this is the most per
ilous and requires to be met with the greatest
calmness and deliberation.
There were many amongst Us in 1850 zealous
to go at once out of the Union, to disrupt every
tie that binds us together. Now do yo ibsliev®
had that policy been carried out at that time,
we would have been the same great people that
we are to-day ? It may be that we would, but
I have you any assurance of that fact'? Would
we have made the same advancement, improve
ment and progress in all that constitutes mate
rial wealth and prosperity that we have'?
I notice in the Comptroller General’s report
that the taxable property of Georgia is $670,-
000,000, and upwards, an amount not far from
double that it was in 1850. I think I may ven-
I ture to say that for the last ten years the mate-
I rial wealth of the people of Georgia has been
I nearly if not quite doubled. The same may be
said of our advance in education, and every
thing that marks our civilization. Have we any
assurance that had we regarded the earnest but
misguided patriotic advice, as I think of some
of that dav, and disrupted the ties which bind
us to the Union, we would have advanced as we
1 have*? T think not. Well then, let us be care
ful now before we attempt ary rash experiment
iof this sort. I know that there are friends
whose patriotism 1 do not intend to question,
who think this Union a curse, and that we would
be better off without it. Ido not so think ; if
we can bring about a correction of these evils
which threaten—and I am not without hope
that this may yet be done —this appeal to go
out withall the provisions for good that accom
pany it, 1 look upon as a great, and I fear a fatal
temptation.
"When I look around and see our prosperi
ty in everything, agriculture, commerce, art,
science and every department of education, phy
sical and mental, as well as moral advance
ment, and our colleges, I think in the face of
such an exhibition if we can without the loss
of power, or any essential right or interest, re
main in the Union, it is our duty to ourselves
and to posterity to do so—let us not too readily
yield to this temptation. Our first parents,
the great projenitors of the human race were
not without a like temptation when in the gar
den of Eden. They were led to believe that
their condition would be bettered —that their
eyes would be opened —and that they would
become as Gods. They in an evil hour yield
ed—instead of becoming Gods, they only saw
their own nakedness.
1 look upon this country with our institu
tions as the Eden of the world, the paradise of
the universe. It may be that out of it we may
become greater and more prosperous, but I am
candid and sincere in telling you that I fear if
we rashly esince passion and without sufficient
cause shall take that step, that instead of be
coming greater or more peaceful, prosperous
and happy —instead of becoming Gods, we will
become demons and at no distant day com
mence cutting one anothers throats. This is
my apprehension. Let us, therefore, whatever
we do, meet these difficulties, great as they are,
like wise and sensible men, and consider them
in the light oi all the consequences which may
attend our action. Let us see first clearly
where the path of duty leads and then we may
not fear to tread therein.
I come now to the main question put to me,
and on which my counsel has been asked.—
That is what the present Legislature should do
in view of the dangers that threaten us, and
the wrongs that have been done us by several of
our confederate States in the Union, by the acts
of their Legislatures nullifying the Fugitive
Slave Law, and in direct disregard of their con
stitutional obligations: 1\ hut I shall say will
not be in the spirit ot dictation. It will be
simply my own judgment for what it is worth.
It proceeds from a strong conviction that ac
cording to it our rights, interests and honor—our
present satety and future security can be main
tained without yet looking to the last resort,
the ultima ratio regnm '' 'That should not be
looked to until all else fails. That may come.
On this point I am hopeful but not sanguine.
But let us use every patriotic effort to prevent
it while there is ground for hope.

SOYER’S SULTANA SAUCE.
For Hot and Cold Dishes of All Kinds.
THIS most delicious and appetis-
x. ing Sauce, invented by the renown-
1 I \ed “Soyer,” for the London Re-
\form Club, fe, since his decease,
I '<■ I manufactured by the well-known
of Crosse & Blackwell,
> London, from the original recipe.
It is the favorite Sauce in England,
\ and on the Continent, with a high
au d growing reputation among A
merican Epicures.
Opinions of the London Press.
“We recommend our correspondent to try Mons.Soyer’s
new Sauce, entitled the‘Sultana's Sauce,’ It is madeafter
the Turkish recipe; its flavor is excellent, and it affords
considerable aid in casesof slow and weak digestion.’’
The Lancet.
“ Savory, Piquant and Spicy, worthy the genius of bo
yer."—Observer. ™ ™
“ A most valuable adjunct to Fish, Flesh, and Fowl,

the BEST

as regards tone and durability, but have also effected
the most advantageous term® to our customers for the
supply of superior Instruments. We partly selected our
Pianos and partly had them made to order. We are now
receiving, without doubt, the best selection ever before
brought to Macon, consisting of h?- ..
6 1-2, 7, and 7 1-1 Octaves
in plain an higdhly finished cases to suit every taste.—
These Instruments we are prepared to sell either for
Cash, on time, or monthly installments,
at the lowest Factory prices. The latter arrangement,
we think, will be accepted by many persons in want of
first class Instruments, who are perhaps not willing to
pay the entire amount at once, and to whom it will be
easier to pay in monthly installments. Our object is to
assist such persons in procuring a first class Piano, for
whose superiority we will give a five year's guarantee.—
We intend to effect large sales, and are satisfied with
small profits.
JdP Come and tee our Stock to be convinced that we
ought and really have such instruments as we repre
sent them to be.
