MACON, GA:
THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22.
SPEECH OF
*HON A.. H. STEPHENS,
Delivered. in the Hall of the House of Repre
sentatives of Georgia, Wednesday Evening,
Nw. Uth, IH6O.
[reported by a. e. marshal.]
[Concluded.]
If any view that I may present,in your judg
ment, be inconsistent with the best interest of
Georgi t, I ask you as patriots not to regard it.
After hearing me and others whom you have
advised with, act in the premises according to
your own conviction of duty as patriots. I
speak now particularly to the members of the
Legislature present. There are as 1 have said
great lingers ahead. Great dangers may come
from the election spoken of. If the policy of
Mr. Lincoln and his Republican associates shall
be carried out, or attempted to be carried out,
no m m in Georgia will be more willing or ready
than myself.to defend our rights, interests and
hon ,r at every hazzard and to the last extremity.
(Applause.)
What is this policy ? It is in the first place
to exclude us by an act of Congress from the
Territories with our slave property. He is for
using the power of the General Government
against the extension of our institutions. Our
position on this point, is and ought to be, at all
bazzards for perfect equality between all the
States and the citizens of all the States in the
Territories,under the Constitution of the United
States. If Congress should exercise its power
against this,theu 1 am for standing where Geor
gta planted herself in 1850. These were plain
propositions which were then laid down in her
celebrated Platform as sufficient lor the disrup
tion of the Union if the occasion should ever
come; on these, Georgia has declared that she
will go out of the Union ; and fur these she
would l«e justified by the nations of the earth in
so doing. 1 say the same; I said it then ; I
say it now, if Mr. Lincoln's policy should be car
ried out I hive told you that I do not think
his hare election sufficient cause; but if his pol
icy should be carried out in violation of any of
the principles set forth in the Georgia Platform,
that would be such an act of aggression, which
ought to be met as therein provided for. If his
policy shall be carried out in repealing or mod
ifying die Fugitive Slave law so as to weaken
its efficacy, Georgia has declared that she will
in ti»e last resort disrupt the ties of the Union,
ami I say so too. I stand upon the Georgia plat
form, and upon every plank,and say if these ag
gressions therein provide for, take place, I say
to you and to the people of Georgia, keep your
powder dry and let your assailants then have
lead if need lie. [Applause.] I would wait for
an act of aggression. This is my position.
N<<w upon another point, and that the most
difficult and deserving your most serious con
sideration, 1 will speak. That is the course
which this State should pursue towards those
Northern States which by their Legislative acts
have attempted to nullify the Fugitive Slave
Law. 1 know that in some of these States their
acts pretended to be bast d upon the principles
set t ilth iu lhedeci'ion of the Supreme Court
o*. the United States in the case f’rigg against
Pennsylvania i that decision did proclaim the
doctrine that the Stale officers are not bound to
cany oat the prov isions of a law of Congress—
that me Federal Government cannot impose
duties upon State officials—that they must ex
ecute their own laws by their own officers.—
And this may be true. But still it is the duty
of the States to deliver fugitive slaves as well
a- the duty of the General Government to see
that it is done.
Northern States, on entering into the Federal
Compact pledged themselves to surrender such
fugitives; and it is in disregard of their consti
tutional obligations that they have passed laws
which even tend to hinder or imbibe the fulfill
ment of that obligation. They have violated
tiieir plighted faith ; what ought we to do in
view of this? That is the question. What is
to be done ? By the law of nations you would
have a right to demand the carrying out of this
article ol agreement, and 1 do not see that it
should be otherwise with respect to the States
of this Union, and in case it be not done we
would by these principles have the right to com
mit acts of reprisal on these faithless govern
ments, and t. ze upon their property, or that of
lhefr citizens wherever found. The . Lutes of
this Union stand upon the same footing with
foreign nations in this respect. But by the
laws of nations we are equally bound, before
proceeding to violent measures to set forth our
grievances before the offending government,to
give them an opportunity to redress the wrong.
Has our State yet dune this? I think not.
Suppose we were Great Britain that had vio
lated some compact ol agreement with the Gen
eral Government; what would be first done?—
In that case our Minister would be directed in
the first instance to bring the matter to the at
tention of that government, or a commissioner
be scut to tliat country to open negotiations
with her, ask for redress, and it would-only be
after argument and reason had been exhausted
in vain.thai we would take the last resort of na
tions. 1 fiat would be the course towards a for
eign towards a member of this
Confederacy, 1 would recommend the same
course. Let us therefore not act hastily in this
matter. Let your Committee on the State of
the Republic make out a bdl of grievances ; let
it be Sent by the Governor to those faithless
States,and if reason and argument shall be tried
in vain—all shall tad to induce them to return
to tiieir constitutional obligations, 1 would be
for retaliatory measures, such as the Governor
has suggested to you. This mode of resistance
in the I nion is it» our power. It might be ef
fectual, and if in the last resort we would be
justified in the eyes of nations, not only in sep
arating from them, but using force.
(Some one said the argument was already ex
hausted. )
Mr. Stephens continued. Some friend says
that the argument is all eady exhausted No,
my friend, it is not You have never called the i
attention of the Legislature of those States to !
this subject, that lam aware of. Nothing has
ever been duue before this year. The attention
of our own people has been called to this subject
lately.
Now then my recommendation to you would
be this. In view of all these questions of dif
ficulty, let a convention of the people of Geor
gia lie called.to which they may be all referred.
Let the sovereignty of the people speak. Some
think tha* tin* election of Mr. Lincoln is cause
sufficient to dissolve the Union. Some think
those other grievances are sufficient to dissolve l
the same, and that the Legislature has the pow- ;
er thus to act and ought thus to act 1 have '
no hesitancy in saying that the Legislature is 1
not the proper body to sever our Federal rela
tions. if that necessity should arise.
An honorable and distinguished gentleman the i
other night (Mr. T. IL IL Cobb) advised you to 1
cross roadsand groceries. I say to you, you
have no power so to act You must refer this
question to the people, and you must wait to
heir from the men at tlie’ cross road# and even
the groceries; for the people in this pormtry,
whether at the cross road* or'the groceries,
whether in cottages oFpalaceH, are all equal, and
they are the sovereigns in this country. Sov
eignty is not in the LegisMturw We, the peo
ple, are the sovereign#. lam one or tberri find
have a right to be hettd, and so has any other
citizen of the State. You legislators, I speak it
respectfully, are but our Servants. You are the
servants of the people and not their masters. —
Power resides-with the people in this country.
The great difference between our country and
all others, such as France and England and Ire
land, is that h?re is popular sgvereknty, while
there sovereignty is exercised by kings and fa
vored classes. This principal of popnliw sover
eignty, however much derided lately, is the
foundation of our institutions. Constitutions
are but the channels through which the popu
lar wdi may ix* * expressed Our Gomjtitqti'un
<nnie fr >in tb- ptThey made it. and they
alone can rightfully unmake it.
Mr. Toombs. lam afraid of conventions.
Mr. Stephens. Lam not afraid of aiiy con
vention fegnlfv^fifSstW 4 by’tht* p'dojSfiL f Know
no way to decide great questions affecting fun
damental laws except by representatives of the
people. The constitution of the United States
was made by the representatives of the people.
The constitution of the State of Georgia was
made by representatives of the people chosen
at the b dlot-box, But do not let the question
which Come before the people be put to them
iu Lie language of my honorable friend who ad
dressed you last night. Will you submit to ab
olition rule or resist ?
Mr. Toombs. Ido not wish the people to be
•heated.
Mr. Stephens. Now, my friends, how are we
going to cheat the people by calling on them to
elect delegates to a convention to decide all these
questions without any dictation or direction?—
Who proposes to cheat the people by letting
them speak their own untrammelled views in
the choice of their ablest and best men, to de
termine upon these matters, involving their
peace ?
1 think the proposition of my honorable friend
had a considerable smack of unfairness, not to
say cheat. He wished to have no convention,
but for the Legislature to submit their vote to
the people, submission to abolition rule or resis
tance ? Now who in Georgia, would vote “sub
mission to abolition rule ?” [Laughter, j
Is putting such a question to the people to
vote on, a fairway of getting an expression of
the jjopulur will on these questions? I tlauk
not. Now who in Georgia is going to submit
to abolition rule?
Mr. Toombs. The convention will.
Mr. Stephens. No, my friend, Georgia will
never do it. The convention will never secede
from the Georgia platform. Under that there
can be no abolition rule in the General Govern
ment. I am not afraid to trust the people in
convention upon this and all questions. Besides,
the Legislature were not elected for such a pur
pose. They came here to do their duty as Leg
islators. They have sworn to support the Con
stitution of the United States. They did mt
come here to disrupt this Government. 1 am,
therefore, for submitting all these questions to a
convention of the people. Submit these ques
tions to the people, whether they would submit
to abolition rule or resist, and then let the Leg
islature act upon that vote ? Such a course would
be an insult to the people. They would have to
eat their platform, ignore their past history, blot
out their records, and take steps backwards, if
they should do this. I have never eat my re
cord or words, and never will.
But how will it be under this arrangement if
they should vote to resist, and the Legislature
should reisserfible with this vote as their instruc
tions ? Can any man tell what sort of resistance
will be meant? One man would say secede;
another pass retaliatory measures, these are
measures of resistance ‘against wrong—legiti
mate and right—and there would be as many
different ideas as there are members on this floor.
Resistance don’t menu secession—that iu no
proper sense of the terin is resistan?e. Believ
ing that the times require action, 1 am for pre
senting the question fairly to the people, for
calling together an untrammeled convention,
and presenting all the questions to them wheth
er they will go out of the Union, or what course
of resistance m the-Union they may think best,
and then let the Legislature act, when the peo
ple in tiieir majesty are heard, and 1 tell you
now, w hatever that convention does, 1 hope and
trust bur people will abide by. I advise the call
ing of a convention with the earnest desire to
preserve the peace and harmony of the St ate. —
I should dislike, above all things, to s e violent
measures adopted or a io take the
sword n hand, by individuals without the ai -
thority of law.
My honorable friend said last nigh l ,, “ I <isk
you give me the sword, for if you do not give
it to me, as God lives I will take it myself.”
Mr. Toombs.—-I will. [Applause on the oth
er side.]
Mr. Stephens.—l have no doubt that my
honorable friend feels as he says. It is only
his excessive ardor that makes him use such
an expression ; but this will pass off with the
excitement of the hour. When the people in
their majesty shall speak I have no doubt he
will bow to their will, whatever it may be, up
on the “ sober second thought.” [Applause.]
Should Georgia determine to go out of the
Union, I speak for one though my views might
not agree with them, whatever the result may
be, 1 shall bow to the will of her people. Their
cause is my cause, and their destiny is my des
tiny : and I trust this will be the ultimate
course of all. The greatest curse that can be
fall a free people, is civil war.
But as I said, let us call a Convention of the
people. Let all these matters be submitted to
it, and when the will of a majority of the peo
ple has been expressed the whole State will
present one unanimous voice in iavor of what
ever may be demanded, for I believe in the
power of the people to govern themselves, when
wisdom prevails and passion is silent. Look
at what has already been done by them for
their advancement in all that enobles man.—
There is nothing like it in the history of the
world. Look abroad from one extent of the
country to the other, contemplate our greatness,
we are now among the first nations of the earth.
Shall it be said then that our institutions, found
ed upon the principles of self-government are a
failure ?
Thus fnr it is a noble example worthy of imi
tation. '! he gentleman, Mr. Cobb, the other
nigiit said, it laid proven a Adore. A failure
in what ? In growth. Look at our expanse
in national power. Look at our population and
increase in all that makes a people great. A
failure, why we are the admiration of the civil
ized world, and present the brightest hopes of
mankind.
Some of our public men have, in their aspi
rations ; that is true, and from that conies a
great part of our troubles. (Prolonged ap
plause.)
No. there is no failure of this government
yet. We have made great advancement under
tlie Constitution, and 1 cannot but hope that
we shall advance higher still. Let us be true
to our trust
Now when this Convention assembles, if it
shall be called, as I hope it may, I would say,
in my judgment, without dictation, for I am
conferring with you freely and frankly, and it
is thus that I give my views, it should take
into consideration all those questions which dis
tract the public mind; should view all the
grounds of secession so far as the election of
: Mr. Lincoln is concerned, and I have no doubt
1 that they would say that the Constitutional
' election of no man is a sullicient cause to break
<ip the Union, "but that the State should wait
until he at least does some unconstitutional act.
Mr. Toombs : Commit some overt act.
Mr. Stephens: No. I did not say that. The
word overt is a sort of technical term connect
ed with trqainz which has come to us from
the mother country, and it means an open act
of rebellion. I do not see how Mr. Lincoln
can do this unless he should levy war upon us.
Ido not. therefore, use the word overt. Ido
not intend to wait for that. But I use the word
unconstitut onal act, which our people und r-
I stand much better, and which expresses just
what I mean. But as long as he conforms to
the Constitution he should be let to exercise
the duties of his office.
1 In giving this advice lam hut sustaining the
country, and I do not thlre*
by become a Lincoln Aid man either, [Ap
plause,] but a Aid man. But
this matter the Convention determine.
As to the other matter, I think we have a
to pass retaliatory measures, provided
they he in-accordance with the Constitution of
tire United States, and I think they can be
made such. But whether it would be wise for
this Legislature io do this ntow is the question.
T 3 the Convention, in my judgment, this mat
ter ought to be referred. Before we committed
reprisals on England, we should exhaust every I
means of bringing about a peaceful solution of '
the question. Thus did Gen. Jackson in the '
case of the French. He did not recommend re- ,
prisals until he had treated with France and ,
got her to promisa to make indemnification, '
and jt was only on her refusal to pay the mo- 1
nev which she had promised that he recom- '
mended reprisals. It was after negotiation had
failed.
I do think therefore, that it would be best I
before going to extreme measures with our con
federate Status to make the presentation of our
demands, to appeal to their reason and judg- [
ment to give us our rights. Then if reason
should not triumph, it will be time enough to
commit reprisals and we should be justified in
the eyes of a civilized world. At least, let the
States know wh it your grievances are, and if
they refuse, as I said, to give us our rights un
der the Constitution of our country, I should
be willing as a last resort to sever the ties of
this Union. [Applause.] My own opinion is,
that if this course be pursued, and they are in
formed of the consequences of refusal, these
States will recede, but if they should not, then
let the consequences be with them, and let the |
responsibility of the consequences rest upon
them. Another thing I would have that Con
vention to do. Re-aflinn the Georgia Platform
with an additional plank in it. Let that plank
be the fulfillment of the obligation as the part
of those States to repeal those obnoxious laws
on a condition of our remaining in the Union.
Give them time to consider it, and I would ask
all States South to do the same thing.
I am for exhausting all that patriotism can
demand before taking the last I would invite
therefore South Carolina to a conference. I
would ask the Same of all the other Southern
States, so that if the evil has got beyond our
control, which God in his mercy grant may not
be the case, let us not be divided among our
selves, (cheers.) But if possible secure the uni
ted co-operation of all the Southern States and
there in the face of the civilized world we may
justify our action, and with the wrong all on the
other side we can appeal to the God of battles to
aid us in our cause. (Loud applause.) But let
us not do anything in which any portion of our
people may charge us with rash or hasty action.
It is certainly a matter of great importance to
tear this Government asunder. You were not
sent here for that purpose. 1 would wish the
whole South to be united, if this is to be done;
and I believe if we pursue the policy which I
have indicated, this can be effected.
In this way our sister Southern States can be
induced to act with us; and 1 have but little
doubt that the States of New York and Penn
sylvania and Onio, and tiie other Western States
will compel their Legislatures to recede from
their hostile altitude if the others do not. Then
with these we would go on without New Eng
land if she chose to stay out.
A voice in the assembly. We will kick them
out.
Mr. Stephens. I would notkickthem out.—
But if they chose to stay out; they might. I
think moreover that these Northern States be
ing piincipally engaged in manufactures would
find that they had as much interest in the Un
ion under the Constitution as we, and that they
would return to their Constitutional duty—this
would be my hope. If they should not, and if
the Middle States, and Western States do not
join us, we should at least have an undivided
South. I am, as you clearly perceive, for main
taining the Union as it is if possible. I will ex
haust every means thus to maintain it with an
equality in it. My principles are these:
First, the maintenance of the honor, the rights,
the equality, the security, and the glory of my
native State in the Union ; but if those cannot
be maintained in the Union, then I am for the
maintenance, at all hazards, out of it. Next
to the honor and glury of Georgia, the land of
my birth, 1 hold the honor and glory of our
common country. In Savannah 1 was made to
say by the Reporters, who very often make me
say things which 1 never did, that I was first
for the glory of the whole country, and next
for that of Georgia. 1 said the exact reverse
ol this. lam proud of her history, of her pres
ent stand. I am proud even of her motto,
which I woul'i have duly respected at the pres
ent time by all her sons —Wisdowm, Justice
and Moderation. 1 would have her rights and
that of the Southern States maintained now
upon these principl'-s. Iler position now is
just what it was in 1850, with respect to the
other Southern States. Now I would add but
one additional plank to that platform, which I
have staled, and one which time has shown to
be necessary.
If till this fails, we shall at least have the sat
isfaction of knowing that we have done our du
ty and all that patriotism could require.
Mr. Stephens continued for some time on
other matters, which are omitted, and then
took his seat amidst great applause.

SOYER’S SULTANA SAUCE.
For Hot and Cold Dishes oj All Kinds.
THIS most delicious and appetis
/ M&SgSk ing Sauce, invented by the renown-
\ ed “Soyer,” for the London Re
/ \form Club, is, since his decease,
I [manufactured by the well-known
house of Crosse & Blackwell,
t London, from the original recipe.
'Wrerw 11 is the favorite Sauce in England,
an d on the Continent, with a high
an dgrowing 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 snow and weak digestion.”
The Lancet.
“ Savory, Piquant and Spicy, worthy the genius of So
yer.”—Observer. „
“ A most valuable adjunct to Fish, Flesh, and Fowl,
and should have a place on every table.” — Atlas.

New Arrangement.
WITH the facilities and long experience we possess
In the Musical Business, we did not only select
the BEST
PIANOS,
as regards tone and durability, but have also effected
the most advantageous terms to our customers for the
supply of snperiorißstraments, We partly selected our
Pianos and partly had them made to order. W e are now
receiving, without doubt, the best selection ever before
brought to Macon, consisting Os
6 1-2, 7, and 7 1-4 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 ol
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.
and see our Stock to be convinced that we
ought and really have such instruments as we repre
sent them to be.
