The journal which stands at the head of this article, devoted over a column of its editorial space, on the 1st July, to assaults of no disguised character, upon the political editor of Tsb Sun. In noticing these attacks it is no purpose of ours to bandy words or epithets with the editors of th*t paper. This is by no means in the line of our object at preaent. We are looking after, and guarding tlie interests of the people, as well os their safety, security and good govern ment—subjects of much higher im port and magnitude with us than per sonal controversy of any sort.— But, that our readers may be fully aware of what is said ugainst us, even on the ad hominem line, we give them below the aforesaid invective in full, with such ^comments as we think proper for the editors of the Adverti ser, and their charges. The article from our Montgomery contemporary will be given in sepa rate paragraphs, and in regular suc cession, in smaller type than the text of our oomments. with such remarks as we think htting each as it occurs. In this way our readers can better understand the whole. The assault with the replies, then, thus opens and proceeds: ADVESnsEm—A Matt Without Friend. —A Disconsolate Itmtoiaana 1 We are sorry to state that an editorial in The Atlanta Hun over the signa ture oi AH. Stephens, iorbids us any longer to doubt the politioal purposes entertained by the “Sage oi Liberty Hah.” Sun—Indeed! well, wo deeply re gret that we should be the cause of grief to any one; but we arc told “it muBt needs bo that offences come.”— The chief object with every one should be, not to he the just cause of them. It is so with us. Advil—Wa are foroed to believe that he has mounted the Editorial tripod (with questionable taste end propriety area in the opinion of his firmest friends we presume) to oppose and if pos sible to defeat the National l)uinocratio Party in the next Presidential election. Sl’N—Well, you must allow us very respeotfully to say that this only shows that you know very little ubout some matters you are attempting to instruct the public upon. Advb—What his motive may be iu thus indicating his inimical intentions, we shall not attempt to scrutinize. We fear that the hint of his opposition, not in igno rance, but in a too intelligent wilfulnoss, cannot be questioned. Wo heartily wish it ooirid be denied or explained. Wheth er his motive may be bom of the morbid egotism of a sickly mind and disappoint ed ambition, or may have sprung from H»yt species of fanaticism which feels happiness in the oonccption of being martyrised for what he may regard as the truth, however impracticable ; we shall not stop in enquire. His motive may be a good or bad one—in either alternative the/octe of the ease are the Bamo. He opposes, and will prevent, if iu his pow er, to accomplish it, the triumph of the Demoaratio Party next year, and the consequent defeat of the Radical Party from whose hatreds and revenges, imbe cilities and corrupt ions, we have suffered so terribly siuiw the wur, and which atiil from ita strongholds of power menaoee us with dreadful insults and renewed out- wgm. Sun—You are quite as well in formed us to his objects os you profits to l>e as to his motives. Ilia object is not to defeat the Democratic Party, but to defeat any party and every par ty that shall attempt to come into j>ower on those principles, or upou a sanction of those usurpations which have brought “these troubles” upon the country from which “we have suf fered so terribly since the war.” Any parly in his opiuiou so brought iuto power, fortified as it would lie behind these “strong-holds,” conld not only “menace” but would ultimately ut terly overthrow the entire fhbric of our five institutions, lie is for the success of the Democratic Party, not however upon the principles on which these “strong-holds” of despotism were erected hy Radicalism—but up on their own old oreed of standing fast by the Constitution,and “arraign ing before the liar of publie reason'’ ull the mischievous misdeeds of those who litti(«b#oogfit‘'(!p‘ tivuble<' pp.iii us, - ■'JUL.lBE.UegS tributed, if you pledle, to broke down party-hacks, of t* those Oisera-i stone ble sycophants of power, it any such I hu can be found, who have sold them-] have selves for expected spoils or favors, which they have failed to receive/but not to him who never sought offioe— its honors or its emoluments, in his life; whose aspirations at all times have been for the advancement of the public good not his own. Advb.—We say that it doc* not enter into oar inclination to ascribe to Mr. Stephens any unworthy motive in patting himself so conspicuously before tbs Pub- lie in the character of the editoe of a po litical newspaper, in the extraordinary role he if now ploying. It ie oertaiu that he ie making a plea of extreme devotion to his extreme, though we think, oorrect views rrepeeting the Constitution, the ground work, or practical pretense for pronounced and butar hostility to the el- reedy foreshadowed ,ne of the Nation al Democratic oi Sun—What “foreshadowed course of the National Democratic Organi ration ?” Is the “ New Departure ” policy of abandoning the principles of the Constitution, (on which it is admitted we are correct), and at tempting to occupy the “strongholds” of Radicalism, by sanctioning their usurpations, here meant ? Do the editors of the Advertiser really think that the Democracy of the United States are, in their next general Con vention, going to adopt as their creed what a few trimmers and tricksters in their ranks in Pennsylvania have set forth as their programme of action in 1872? If so, we venture to say that the editors of that journal will find themselves quite as much at fault in this particular, as they are iu as- scribing motives to us. Our opinion against theirs is, that the honest mosses of the real, .true, genuine De mocracy of tho Union—the three millions who have not yet bowed the knee to Baal or his image, will never do so monstrous a thing. Advb—We even keeitatato to repeat the suggestion we have heard, that his object u to provoke attack from the Dem ocratic press in order that, looking to some conoealed ulterior scheme, Radical asperities towards himself may be soft ened or altogether ameliorated. Sun—You do! Advb.—Nothing of this sort is neces sary to set theeeiuof utteroondemnatiou on wliut be is now doing. If he were the best man and noblest patriot on earth, his conduct would only be the more rep rehensible or the more to be deplored, because his capacities for mischief and evil would only be thus increased instead of being diminished. It is quite enough that our own ordinary intelligence clearly perceives, and that his extraordinary in telligence cannot fail by possibility to perceive, that his writings and counsels as oonvcyod to the readers of The Sun, must injure (it they have any effcot at ill) the prospects of Democratic success, ami mmu bring to that extent, at least, aid and oomfort to the erneleat, most mulig uant and most uurulenting enemies that ever yet oppressed a patient and helpless poople. St’N—Notat all. They only bring to grief those schemers, intriguers, trimmers, ami “moneychangers,” who w ish to come into power, possessed of the “strong-holds” of despotism, erected hy the usurpations of their predecessors, so that they may ad minister the Government under Democratic- name, hut on Radical princip'es. We think it likely that our writings iu Thf Bun do uo in considerable injury to the prospect of success on the part of this class of politicians. This is just what they are intended to do; hut iu them our “most unrelenting enemies” will find quite as lift ,e u.o nod eiiifort as the trick.!,-.... a Advb —To prove this, we qnotq from The Atlanta Hon. Mr. Stephens says: Wo uelth r claim uor look upon, u political friend* or ttltiee. any men or party. North or South, who are uot true to Constitution aud the cseentlal principles upon which it «u IhumnI. We are engaged iu uo struggle for the b*re auoocaa of tbla or that organisation, whatever name it may aaeume, whoee eole object la the acquisition of the spoils of offioe. Our objects are fhr diflorent—far higher and worthier, we trust. With ua the chief aim now la for uuion aud concerted action betwaen all the true friends of the Federal Constitution iu all the Mtates. and fur a grand ing J.o the “ touch- to^mid to the three ore, who would same tAing at the same tli'sj, luyl 'pot been most wrongfully disfranchised, by usurped power*, as they were, have become re creant to. thf great caqse in which they were^ enlisted ? If so we .repel the imputation thus cast upon them. These are the men we claim as friends, because we believe them to be true to the Constitution. They con stitute in all a host of not less tlian three millions! “A man without friends,” yon say! Where will the editors of the Advertiser go to find as many f Not certainly in the ranks of the Democratic party. Whether they shall be able to rwruit as many from renegade Democrats and strag gling Radicals, together, time must disclose. One thiug is oertain, if he who recognizes as friends those only, who are true to the Constitution is in fact without friends, as the editors of the Advertiser would seem to maintain, then he is in no worse con dition—“ disconsolate ”—as he may be, than the country over which he might well weep! Our country is not quite in this condition, yet, we trust We Baid farther, that we should never recognise as a political friend or ally any one who shall maintain that the usurpations attending the Reconstruction Acts have all been settled “ in the manner and by the au thority _Constitutionally appointed.” Do the editors of the Adrertiser join issue with us upon that proposition ? Are they to be understood as holding that the Democratic party throughout the Union, should maintain so perni cious a principle or proclaim so glar ing an untruth 1 But we have not said that Mr. Val- landigham’s Dayton Resolution on the subject of the new Amendments was “false.” That Resolution simply declared these Amendments to lie tie the line ufi&er the “old banner,” han ded down from the founders of De mocracy and the builders of the Mag nificent Temple of our Liberties. Advb.—Whether he wishes to lead a new movement, or whether indirectly to wound those who have rejeoted his des tructive advioe, the result cannot be otherwise than to assist, voluntarily or involuntarily, in retaining the Radical Party in its hateful and dangreoas su premacy. Then are some facta all moat see and appreciate. An affectation of blindness will not do. An affectation of being able to avoid the logical operation of these facte trill not do. One of these facte ie that there are and can be but two actually contesting parties for politioal Administration between this and the Presidential election. These two parties are the National Democratic Party, and the so-oalled Republican or Radical party. One or the other must succeed at the election. If lie Demo cratic Party thee not, the Radical Party will certainly again triumph, and again far four long yean the South will be tortured with socialistic Radicalism, and no eitiem will be abb to/eel assured tied kb Sab Gov ernment will stand for thirty days at a time. Sun.—These are some facts which ought to be apparent to alL One of these is that there is a party in power seekibg to perpetuate its existence, whose chief object is the overthrow of the Constitution, and with it our entire system of Government, which it was established to Becure. This is known as the Radical or Republican Party so-called. Another fact, which all ought to see and know, is that the only way in which these ulterior ob jects can be prevented, is by arousing the true friends of the Constitution everywhere to a proper sense of the danger of the crises, and bringing their combined energies to act in con cert at the polls for a rescue of the Ark of their Covenant from the hands of those now bent upon its desecra tion and destruction. It ought also to be known that this can only be done by a full exposure of the enor mous wrongs and high crimes against Public Liberty which have been com mitted by those who have so shame lessly abused their public trusts. To from 1 Oralnh . Fur this purpose we put “the touchstone" teat, iu the language of Mr. Jefferson, to all alike. Before entering the real conteet in 18TJ, it Is essential to know hy the previous application of this “touch- stone," who arc “our friends,” and who are our ad- vereariee. Whoever shall prove himself to be e true friend of the Constitution. w* shell rooognlse as our friend aud ally. Whoever ahall uot, we shall recognise as our adversary in the coming greet con test between Imperialism and Constitutionalism - brtweeu a consolidated Umpire and a Federal Re public. We say in advance, however, that we ahall never recogt ise as a politioal friend or ally, let him hail from any quarter he may. any one who maintains that the openly confessed usurpations attending the r< construction seta have ell been settled “w the man ner and hy the authority constitutionally apwintni” and who ahall deprecate any arraignment of either of these acta or their authors, before the bar of public reason ter popular cond. lunation. Ail such are no fritnds of ours—of our cause or the liberties oi this country. A. H s. Now it is evident to Mr. Btephens os to all othovs that whether the Northern and Western Democrats believe themselves in their present attitude on the Vallan- digham Resolutions to be true to the Constitution or not, Mr. Btephens does not admit that they are true. Indeed he complains of their heresy, and ev> n that they sax-false. Si n—Is there a word in this 16ng extract quoted from ns, (and which constitutes the gravamen of onr oflense in the judgment of the editors of the Advertiser) about tlie North ern or Western Democrats or 'flu' Democratic party, in any section of the Union ? Wind we sgid ’Wits, we neither I,umed or looked iijiou any , ta. facto parts of the organic law, and hy! '1° ^ us * m< ® 8ave the country is the no means affirmed that they were de bigli mission of the Democracy. jure or rightfully so. It was the Pennsylvania Harrisburg ('(invention whioh declared that they were rightful parts of the Constitution, having be come so “in the manner'aml by the authority constitutionally appointed.” This is the statement which we said contained a great untruth Moreover, the Editors of tlie Ad vertiser need not be reminded by us, we trust, that Mr. Vnllnudigluim’s Dayton Resolution on this subject was not adopted by the Ohio Conven tion either in form or substance. Advb.—It then follows unquestionably that hejdocs not “claim or look upon them as politioal friends and allies.” In other wolds he does not oonsidor the Democra cy of Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, Ar kansas, Tennessee, Iowa, Maine and Wis consin, who have already in their State Conventions ncoepted the two Amend ments os accomplished facts and as dead issnes, to be his friends and allies, uud he is deeirons that hia readers shall see them with his feelings, not as friends and allies, but as men to be regarded ns enemies.— Moreover no one oau possess a reasonable doubt that New York and every other Northern and Western State will within a comparatively brief period occupy pre cisely the same position. Nnv, more, so far as the tbuth has yet spoken the Houth- era Democrats ana Conservatives dis tinctly reveal their inflexible purpose to oo-operate with their democratic friends from other teotions on the same pro gramme. The National Democratic I ies- olutions are just os openly to be read to day as thongh they had been unanimous ly affirmed by a Convention in June or July of next year. Sun—You think so, do you ? You indulge the hope, do you—that the lltli Resolution of the Harrisburg Convention will beoome tlie Demo cratic “Shiboleth" in 1872 ? Well, that is just what uot less than two millions and a half of Democrats with very “inflexible purpose” arc *lctor- mined shall not be done. We shall see whether the wire-workers and “money-changers” can trick them in this business or not. Advb.—And it would surely seem that Mr. Stephens has either entered on the petulant, puerile, quite irrational project of proposing to ooovert the Democratic Party to his own peculiar views, rejeoted by them almost “en masse," or else that he seeks to do what is perhaps practicable, and for soma undefined or nnreveuled ob ject, to ocoasion whatever discontent and confusion he eon make in Georgia or elsewhere in the body of the Democratic organisation. Sun—“The petulunt, puerile, quite irrational project of proposing to con vert the Democratic Tarty to his own jieculiar views, rejected liy them al most ‘en masse I’ ” Was there ever a more extraordinary scintillation of a disturbed imagination ? Who in this instance is trying to convert, or rath er to transfer, whole masses hy a sim ple Resolution, without a why or t> wherefore? Where are the masses of the Democracy of Pennsylvania who have already rejected aud repudiated, not our views, but the traasfor Ue*>- Advb. —The principles and policy of the Radical party are ..ell known whether rep- seuted by Greeley or Grant Wh*t matters other little personal differences when they both favor alike the Bayonet elections Act and thi Ku-Klux bill. Greeley is os much opposed as Grant is to Mr. Stephen's tests of Oonstitntional Orthodoxy to which he wonld so rigidly subject the Democracy. Whether Gree ley or Grant be President the infamous schedule of social and politioal Radical ism will be the same in the hands of either Presidential curse. But from what he says Mr. Stephens is jUBt as unfriendly to the Democratic party on the Ohio anil Pennsylvania platforms as he is to the Radical party. He is so indifferent, ap parently, lietween the two sets of ene mies that he is eager, and turns editor for the purpose, to distract the Democ racy if possible for the direct or indirect benefit of the Radioal Tyrants. Sun.—Mr. Stephens, it is true, is just as unfriendly to the 9th Resolu tion of the Pennsylvania Harrisbarg Platform as he is to that platform set up by the Radical Party through Sena tor Morton at Washington city; be cause there is no essential difference between them. As mnch as Mr. Gree ley may be opposed to Gen. Grant we venture to say that he gives that 9th Resolution of the Pennsylvania Plat form his hearty endorsement, and re joices at what he may look upon as the prospect of soon seeing the entire Democratic Party as “repentant sin ners'’ entering the Radical folds. If the Democracy of the Union shall unfurl a banner, bearing this Resolu tion, as the Editors of the Advertiser seem to think they will, then may the Philosopher of the Tribune ex claim as old Simeon did, “now letteet thou thy servant depart in peaoe.” The complete Revolution in the Gov. eminent which he has so assiduously labored to effect for thirty years will have been accomplishedand approved by the “Nation,” This most lamen table result, we trust, will never en sue ; and, hence, we are by no means an indifferent spectator to these dra matic scenes—hence the active and earnest part we take with no view to “distract the Democracy,” however, but to awaken them to a full sense of the importance of preventing so horrible a catastrophe. Advb.—The Democratic statesmen think after the most anxious reflection and deliberation that all they can posmhly accomplish, tinder all the euoumstanoes, at the next election is to save the Con stitution as it stands, and to preserve the Republio itself from destruction.— Mr. Btephens either believes or affeots to believe if they will allow him to writo the platform, that they not only oan save but fully restore the expurgated Constitution os interpreted by Jefferson and Calboun and in the spirit sad meaning of the Res olutions of 1798-99. Because the North- eru and Western Democrats differ with him in respect to this aboard ides, he forms an issue of opposition and assumes by plain inference that “the sole object oi the Democracy it the toqnisition of the spoils of office. ” We will venture to predict, however, that should the Derao- lutkm of the Harrisburg Convention? I Behold them os they now stand npen tho “old platform” of (heir “time- and consigning them, with their an- North or South, as a political friend honored principles,* and instead oi thors, to that righteous popular con demnation which they so unques tionably dcicne. Tliis is what lie is endeavoring to get the Democracy of the U nion to d->. L this endeavor - position ?

Docs the Measures as “dead issues,” see thorn tdner/irrr join issue with us'lii tlii burling their effective denunciations I right or wrong ? Is the motive which prompts it a bud one or good one ? Does it spring from “a morbid egotism of a sickly mind” or “disappointed ambition ?” Disappointed ambition indeed! Let such feelings be at- jouruul to be understood us holding that this is mischief-making doe- trine? Do they mean to inthnate that the two million six hundred thou sand and odd voters, who proved themselves true to (he Constitution igaintt “the fraud, )>uriidy aud vio lence” by which these most palpable usurpations were consummated! Tie assured, gentlemen, our object is not to produoe “confusion or discontent in Georgfc or elsewhere,” but t» affect union, harmony and victory all along the Radioal party on theotber, iie will la- apt to find is the one or the other «*<u tingency that Democratic success would mean something more than the spoils of office. It Mr. Stephens desires to escape nn- nicssored odium, let him on s “sober ocooud thought” oonsent, linos they can not follow him, to allow the Pendlatona, Tlmnuiins, Hoffmans, Blairs, Hanoooka, McClellans, Vallandigbama, Blocks, Voor- heea, Brooks, Woodwards, Aiitma, Coxea, Books, Hendrioks, Seymours, and tana of thousans like them, the Mends of 4 tntional liberty, the opponeatsof potion, the bold and strenuous deh of oor people from outngo for years past, though themselves in a minority, and now pledged to aoootd to m an honorable equality as States of an American Union, ie lied in the approaching straggle. Bun—Gentlemen of the Adver tiser, give yourselves no concern about Mr. Stephens* reputation or his good name. Odium, whether meas ured or unmeasured, never enters his thoughts when moved, as in this in stance, by a^high sense ofPublic Du ty. Some misgu ided Democratic par tisans may think that all they can ac complish at the next election, is to save themselves from worse evils than those now upon them, and that even this can be done by not only ceasing to denounce usurpations, but by sanctioning all of them, so far as the past is concerned; and in this way they propose to make an effort, at least, to secure what is left of Liberty. These men are not statesmen. If they were they wonld know that “what of Liberty ” they consider as left, can nover be saved or secured by the course they recommend. Power is ever progressive and aggressive—ever grasping and encroaching. Give it an inch, and it never fails soon to claim and take an ell If it is to be successfully restrained in the end, it must be met at the threshold; and these persistently resisted, without terms or quarters. If the citadel be voluntarily yielded, the outposts will betaken as a matter of course. If bold and avowed usurpations, based upon “fraud, perfidy, and violence,” and in violation of every civil right, of seven millions of people, be once sanctioned as rightful acts—not to be questioned — upon what rational grounds can sensible men be inspired with any hope of saving, by the greatest possible exertions, anything that may be supposed to be left of popular rights ? We do not believe, as intimated, that the “object of the Democratic party is the acquisition of the spoils of office.” Far from it The great object moving the masses of the De mocracy everywhere, is the salvation of the country; but while this is true, *e believe it also to be true that there are with them, as with other large bodies of men, a class known as camp-followers whose “sole object ” is the spoils. One of our objects is, that this class in the Democratic camp shall continue in their posi tion of “ Bummers,” and not be per mitted to assume that of “Leaders.’ We say further; we have a high ad miration for the Thurmans, Hoff mans, Blairs, Hancocks, McClellans, Blacks, Voorhees, Brooks, Wood wards, Adams, Coxes, Becks, Hen dricks, Seymours of the Democratic Party; perhaps a much higher admi ration, as well as estimation, of the statesmanship of Borne of them than the Editors of the Advertiser. Few living men stood higher in our esti mation than the lamented Vallandig- ham. Still we did not approve his Dayton manifesto, modified as it was and resorted to as it most probably was, as a political strategic movement, partly as a blind to the enemy, and partly as a flank manmnvre against the real “new departure” pronuneia- mento, concocted in New York, and proclaimed in the 9th Resolution of the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Con vention. Be all that as it may, how ever, it was, in our opinion, an error in judgment on the part of a truly great man, who was thoroughly de voted, os we believe, in heart and soul to the cause of his country. Be further assured, gentlemen, we have uo desire or inclination to write any platform for the Democracy. We want no new platform written for them by anybody. Our whole soul is enlisted in nrging them not to aban don that one erected for them by Mr. Jefferson, (not by Mr. Calhoun), and upon which they have stood so long. This platform is planted upon the ramparts of the Constitution. Our appeal is, “Never abandon it; never depart from it 1” As Themistocles, when the fate of all Greece depended upon one im pending battle, stood forth and urged that the stronghold of Salamis should not be given up, and abandoned (whioh the leaders were about to do), so we now, in a crisis of like peril, raise our voice, and urge the Democ racy, on whom the hopes of the Con tinent and of the world rest, not to give up their impregnable position on the ramparts of the Constitution! In this is their chief strength. This is their Salamis. Themistocles was thought to be mutinous at the time. He was denounced as a sower of dissensions. .The hand of Eury- biades was raised to strike him down as an enemy to the cause—as one giving aid and comfort to the enemy. The calm hut frm reply of the tut daunted Athenian was : ‘ Htnke, but boar mo." Fortunately for Greece he was heard. His reasons for not abandon ing the port of Salamis prevailed. This position was not depart rd from. Here the hosts of Xerxes were la-aten, and the Teutonic system of local self-gov ernment was preserved against the most formible effort to overthrow it, and to establish in its stead that of the Asiatic type, which was general consolidation and centralism. Themistocles, we imagine, cared nothing for the odium of words, or even that of blows, if they had fol lowed. He was moved hy the pro found conviction that the liberties of hit country were at stake; and it was no time to consider matters of mere taste, propriety, or even military subordination. We referred to this incident a few days ago, on another occasion, in illustration of our present position; and now repeat it, for the special benefit of the Editors of the Advertiser; that they may bear in mind the fact that there can be such a thing as earnest, zealous, enthusi astic, disinterested patriotism, which rises as high above all mere selfish personal or party considerations as the priceless attributes of Liberty rise in the estimation of ail who are fit to enjoy it, above the glittering fascina tions of Power, whether exhibited in the splendors of Royalty or in the more imposing insignia of Empire. ” A.
