A Kt« H orih iu Up ply to Dr.
Bard.
Iu ti c True Georgia:-.— so-atiid—
of the litli jjisu, »<• find the follow
ing:
It is one of the tricks of dc-LUc, to
bUito the pubition of an adversary as will
beet suit flic purposes of attack. Mr.
Stephens, ami others who liavo copied
from his organ, have attempted to play
this gome upon us. They have sttempt-
tod to force us into a false position, one
which we have not taken and which we
do not intend to take. Mr. Stephens in
sists that we aro in favor of accepting
certain amendments to the Constitution
as “finalities,” “never heroafter to be
questioned at the ballot-box or else
where." Iu this ho has misrepresented
na
J^To this we say that the “tricks" re
ferred to have not been resorted to
by ns. We do not deal in tricks of
any kind, nor is it our purpose, in
attacking the position of an adver
sary in debate, to either overstate,
u urferstulo, or Misrepresent, his argu
ments. Moreover, discussion with us,
on great public questions, is not u
game in any sense of the word. It
is no pastime play either for recrea
tion or amusement. It is for the
ascertainment, elucidation, and main
tenance of truth. If Dr. Bard’s po
sition is not that which we have rep
resented it to be, then we have been
mistaken in it—that is all—and will
most cheerfully do him the justice
to say so when he shall present us
with the proof of our error,
Some of the facts upon which our
Statement of his jiositioD has been
based, ore these:
The lute Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
l lemocratic Convention, among other
declarations, passed what is known as
the Oth resolution of their “ New
Departure” proiluncianunUo. That
resolution is iu theso words:
licsulesd, That we recognize the bind
ing obligation of all tho provisions of
the Constitution of the United States as
they now exist, and wo deprecate the dis
cussion of issues which liavo boou settled
iu tho manner and by tho authority con
stitutionally appointed.
Wo understand Dr. Bard and all
the “New Departurists” to give this
resolution his and their cordial iiji-
proval and indorsement. This -s the
summation and the embodiment of
their now creed, as we understand it.
Now it seems to us, there can lie
no mistake as to the intention or
the meaning of this language. We
understand the words “all the provis
ions of the Constitution of the United
Mates, as they now exist," as clearly
intended to embrace tho 14th and
lfith Amendments, so-called. Wo
further understand it to be distinctly
affirmed by this resolution that these
Amendments, with tho issues present
ed by them, “have been settled in the
manner and by the authority Consti
tvtionatty appointed."
Nay more; we understand it to be
announced that all discussion of
them hereafter should ho deprecated.
Aro wo then correct iu supposing
that Dr. Bawl approves and indorses
tho language and sentiment of this
resolution ? If lie docs, us we under
stand him, and all the “Now Dcpart-
iirists” to do, how then can we lie
said to misrepresent either him or
them, iu assigning them the posi
lion of holding that these most
fraudulent and iniquitous measures
should he accepted as “finalities,” and
that their validity should never here
after bo questioned at the ballot box oi
elsewhere f”
If the very discussion of these mea
sures is to lie deprecated; if they are
to he deemed so sacred that no allusion
is to be made to them in debate, how
is thoir validity to be inquired into
or the revolutionary means by which
they have becu attempted most shame
fully to Ik; incorporated as a part of
the organic law, to be exposed ?
For the present, all we have, iu ad
dition to s iv on this point is, that if
wo are in error, in supposing that Dr.
Bard does approve and indorse this
‘ New DiqKirture”pronuncianieulo of
the Harrisburg Pennsylvania packed
Convention or junto, we shall be glad
u> be distinctly so informed by him.
It is far front our intention to mis
represent him or any one. The vin
dication of the truth on all questions,
and tho maintenance of those princi
ples upon which ulono, in our view,
Constitutional libcity can he preserv
ed on this Continent, is our great ob
ject. Wo wish perfect union and har
mony, with all whose objects are the
sumo.
A great crisis is upon us, and a high
moral obligation rests upon every pa
triot in the land, to do his duty to
himself, his fellows, and his country.
We cannot, however, dismiss the
subject without a word or two, in re
ply to another remark iu the same
editorial of Dr. Bard. In speaking
of the Political Editor of The Scn’,
the Doctor says:
His course has a direct tendency to
create divisions and dissensions in tho
ranks ol tho party to which he claims to
belong, and to drive away Irom him and
the Southern people thoec who ore ex
tending to them a helping hand in tliis
their time o{ trouble.
To this wc have only to Bay, that
wc do not* by any means, take this
,r course. We sec no “help-
tto the true friends of the
Constitution and the Government,:
established l>y our nnx -iors, in their
present hour of peril and dun;
from those who wish to consign
oblivion the most daring and reckless
usurpations, by which the liberties of
any people on earth were ever assailed.
In the hand thus extended, wc very
clearly see Ihe secret blade of Joab.
Their helping Jiand is to clinch the
nails in the coffin of tire liberties of
this country.
As to the Doctor’s idea of the harm
our course will do to the only party
that can save the country, by pro
ducing divisions among them, &c., lie
will idlow us most respectfully to say,
that it reminds us very strikingly
of tin- argument used by a derelict
Parson once, w hen none other seemed
to have any avail, with a member of
his congregation, who was determined
to expose some of his unchristian
acts. When all other entreaties
proved ineffectual in silencing the
exposure, the graceless divine fell
back upon this last appeal, and said,
that “such exposure would only tend
to injure the church.”
Now the injury to the church and
the cause of truth, according to onr
idea, was not in the exposure, but in
the misdeeds, which made the expo
sure necessary for the preservation of
both. ’ A. 1L S.

Slick to Principles.
Some admiring friends of Gov.
Grata Brown, of Missouri, are push
ing his name as the “ very fittest ” for
the Democratic Presidential nomina
tion. Unquestionably, Gov. Brown
is a muii of mark, and the liberal
minded men of tho whole country,
as well as the people of Missouri, owe
him a debt of gratitude for his
agency, in conjunction with Carl
Schurz, in liberating Missouri from
the shackles of Kiulicul tyranny. But
does this make his nomination by a
Democratic Convention one lit to be
made, any more than that of his
able coadjutor, Senator Schurz? The
latter cannot be nominated, becuuso,
being foreign born, he is constitu
tionally ineligible. Gov. Brown is
equally out oftho question, because
he does not even belong to the party
whose leader liis friends would make
him. He is, and ho professes to be, a
“moderate Republican.” What claim
has he on the first place in Demo
cratic leadership? Just about the
same that a Democratic “depwtu
rist” would have in the Radical Con
vention to supplant. Grant. All these
suggestions of handing over the
power of the Democratic party to
leaders alien to its traditions and its
historical career, are akin to, and a
sign of, that demoralization from
which tho “ new departure ” sprang.
It shows that Democrats are afraid of
their own cardinal principles; that
they distrust the people, and so bow
to the supposed invincibility of cer
tain Nodical doctrines (which they
yet denounce as baleful and revolu
tionary,) that they feci that they must
aocept theso doctrines as tho price of
success. A cowardly party never
wins political battles, and tho Demo
cratic party cannot be marshalled and
inspired for victory under a time
serving banner. They arc not states
men who think othorwise, and they
do not understand the character
of the American people. If
bid for their votes on modified Uiuli-
cal grounds, the Radicals will
outbid them, for tho people will
choose wholo rather than half-way
measures. If we go tho whole way
and stand bodily on their platform,
one party is as deserving as the oth
er in the eyes of the people, and th
Radicals have the right and pres tig-
of pre-emption. Every Democrat
and Conservative politician in the
land admits the presence of a momen
tous cricis and turning point in the
political destinies of this Government
and jieoplc. We are vibrating be
tween an absolute extinction of five,
representative and constitutional
self-government, and au empire in
spirit and form. The peril of the
crisis confronts and sluiks before the
eyes of the whole country. The
minds of the masses are aroused to a
consideration of tho danger and of
the measures to avert. The popular
mind is thus in a condition to receive
tho truth—it is tho seed time of high,
sound and immutable principles of
government, and now statesmen, and
not politicians who aro alone intent
on party success and its spoils, should
como to the front and drop into th
jnial ground the germs that sire to
uctify in the great and saving prin
ciples of liberty. It is tho law oferi-
cis in the ailairs of nations to bring
forth great men who are equal to their
exigencies. Of the existing crisis, no
man doubts. But where can the
public discern the features of the
rising man to gather up its con
ditions in his firm and statesmanlike
hand, and direct and bend them to
tho solution of the public welfare? Of
all tho public men whoa 1 voices
are heartl in the din of the great de
bate, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, seems
to be tho only man who points to a
statesmanlike deliverance. All the
rest are trimming, hedgingauddodg
ing, not daring to trust themselves or
tlie people, or to look the great ques
tion iu the face. One journal that
started out on the stilts of constitu
tional principle so high as to call
down from it the fiercest denuncia
tions of the Democratic partv as
faithless to its trust, and that held to
,t strain until the “newdeparture”
announced, comes down from its
y perch and plunges headlong
into that pit “as the best we can do.
In brief, it gave in its adhesion to the
Democracy the very moment the De
mocracy had shown signs of meriting
its former accusation of infidelity.
Besides backing down from its tra
ditional and strong ground, “the
ramparts of the Constitution,” and
yielding to usurpations as “dead is
sues,” in order to inveigle jiacksliding
Democrats and disgusted Republicans
to ,ts standard, some are indulging in
the astounding weakness of looking
beyond their own camp of tried aim
trusted chiefs to see if they cannot
flab up a leader on the outside. We
have two passages from editorials of
two sound Democratic papers which
striln the only key-note that v ill find
victorious resjionsLS in the hearts aud
mind., cf tlie people. We would thai,
degenerate and 11in< -serving
days, we could breathe this spirit into
the wills of the politicians a- well as
the people of the country. Vet no
heart is so dead in its misgivings and
fears about ike prevalence and die
mightiness of truth, that it will not

STICK TO I'KlJiClPLEa.
The Democratic party lias ever
been destroyed when it has lost hold
of the landmarks which are not only
ancient, but sound. No matter what
influences or promises were employed
to produce the abandonment of prin
ciples, the siul result lias ever been
the same, defeat after defeat, and the
victorious and defiant shout of onr
opponents.
On the contrary, as long as wo have
adhered sternly to our articles of
faith, one and all, the Democrats have
marched on to rare defeats and fre
quent victories. It is very seldom
that tlie promise fails for those who
keep tlie faith, and will not surrender
either to illicit love or overbearing
force. All history supports all phi
losophy, in favor of a stern adherence
to our principles. The canvass of
this year, ana tlie vote in October
will show the truth of what wo say.
The men of principle will not enlist
their feelings in the canvass: nor care
to go to the polls if the candidates in
sist upon talking of the beauties of
the new departure. A Democratic
canvass without appeals to principles,
and an exhibition of the zeal and ear
nestness which will bIjow that tho ap
peals have been effectual, is good for
nothing.

object of induoing him to discont uuo
his opposition ; and to this end < n i of
them suggested that Dollinger pat him
self in ecmmonicatinn with tho Pope.
Tilts tho Dr. refused to aoceed to. M.
Fedslir, first envoy, and Secretary of tho
Council, represented to Dollingcr that
tho Council had not yet closed, and it
would therefore be possible to sgreo in a
new definition of Pupal Infallibility.—
This definition might be made either by
the Pope or by Council a matter of theo
logical doctrine instead of a dogma; and

WASHINGTON.
Washington, July 19.—The United
States and Mexioan Claims Commission,
July 19,1871, No. 901, vs. Mexico—this
wo claim for payment of tho amount al
leged to be duo under contracts between
the claimant and certain officers of the
so-called Mexican Government, in Mex
ico, for supplies furnished to aid in the
suppression of Indian disturbances in
Yucatan. Tho Commissions disagreeing
■iu opinion, the case was referred to the
Umpire, who decides there is no princi
ple of public polioy or national justice
involved arising out of the particular use
to which tho supplies were dedicated,
which takes tho case out of the general
rule heretofore laid down; that the Mex
ican Republic cannot be held responsible
for au obligation of the Maximilian Gov
ernment. Claim dismissed.
No. 178, Mather and Glover and Wm.
Winn, the case having boon referred to
mupiro, makes award for claimant of cer
tain money and property of claimants
which had been seized by Moxieau offi
cials and applied to public uses. The
amount was afterward refunded by order
of a Court of competent jurisdiction.
Tho present award is for interest accru
ing during tho time of its detention.
No. 432, J. S. Mennassec <fc Co., vp.
Mexico; c;uims for ballance due on cer
tain drafts given to claimant by a mili
tary agent of Mexico in San Francisco, in
payment for supplies fnmishod; also for
interest compounded after an extravagant
rate. The commissioners disagreeing on
the question of jurisdiction, the case
w as referred to umpire who decides in
favor of jurisdiction and awards claimant
the balance claimed with six por cent
interest, rejecting tho claim for com
pound interest.
No. 100—Mark Sohaben vs. Mexico—
claim for value of certain horses pur
chased by the claimant of the French
retreating from Orizaba, Mexico, and
afterwards seized by ( tho Mexioan Libe
ral forces. Tho purchaso was mode
under a permit to claimant, issued by a
colonel of Mexican army. Tho commis
sioners, disagreeing in opinion with the
umpire, awards in favor of tho claimant,
holding that while the colonel in ques
tion had no authority to bind this Gov
ernment by tbe issuing of such a permit
as is exhibited, the obtaining it showed
a dosiro on tho part of the claimant to
act openly, and the Mexican Government
reaped the benefit of the property whieh
it would not probably have captured had
it not been in claimant’s possession.
Other cases were decided which will bo
noted hereafter.
