MACON, GA ; WEDNESDAY MoLMM-. NOVEMBER 21. 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. (To he continued.)

WITH th® facilities and long experience we possess in the Musical Business, we did not only select the BEST V I A. IX O S ♦ 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. JOHN C. SCHREINER & SONS, oct 17 Cotton Avenue. HAHDWAIiE, IRON & STEEL.
