THE DAILY SUN 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 lx- more or less stirred by them. The Cincinnati Commoner, and is entitled The second is from the Atlanta (Ga.) Sux, ami from the pen of the lion. A. II. Stephens. It is written in refutation of the charge that his opposition to the “ new de parture” was bom of his wish to dis tract and weaken aud defeat the Dem ocratic purty in 1872: 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. We ure in favor of a very quiet campaign and a few sensible speech es to lie made, not by random talkers, but by those who have, tlie creed of TELKOUAl'H a KWH SSrSfi" lit tl<e V* V ork iMochlfal ft*is.

MISSISSIPPI. The Public Printing Squabble. Jackson, July 19.—The public print ing question will be called up in tlio Chancery Court to morrow. The opin ion prevails that Kimball & Raymond, the old incumbents, will lose tho case ; if so, they will nt once appeal to tho Su premo Court, hoping thoreby to cause delay and force the Governor into a com promise. Tho Pilot’s afctauk upon the Governor has rendered that paper quite unpopular with the Republicans, and it is thought it will have little influence in the coming canvass for Governor.

It is reported that Washburn, tho Ame rican Minister, has assured tho French government that no person covicted of criminal acts in Paris, against tho Na tional government during tho reign of the Commune, will bo permitted to resido in the United Btatos. The Journal Iks Paris vigorously at tacks tho circular of the Prefect of the Department of the Seino, which deprives tho occupants of furnishod lodgings of tho right to vote if they have not inhabit ed tho premisos continuously for twolve months. The future Emperor and Efuprcss of Germany were snubbed by tho Queen on their recent visit to England. Her Maj esty refused to take them in at any of her palaces, aud they were obliged to lodge with the common ambassador. According to Loudon correspondents, Napoleon visits town everyday, and gen erally strolls along tlie sunny side of Bond street or haunts the bow windows of a clubhouse. He is very popular with Democracy m their hearts and the t i l0 workiug classes, who cheer him, and talent and diameter wJuch will give | i in rndtinu verv fat. them authority. As Thcmistocle.s, when tho fate of all Greece depended upon one impending battle, stood forth and urged that the stronghold should not bo given up and abandoned, (which the leaders wore about to do,) so wo now, in a crisis of like peril, rains our voice, and nrgo the Democracy, on whom tho hopc3 of the continent and of the world rest, not lo tjirc vp their impregnable position on the ramparts of the Constitution. In this is their chief strength. This is their Bala- mis. Themistaclcs was thought to be mutinous at tho tirno. Ho was denounced as a sower of dissensions. Tho hand of Enribiades was raisod to striko him down as an enemy to tho cause—as one giving aid and nowfort to tho enemy. Tho calm but firm reply of tho un’dauntod Athenian was : " Striko—but boar mo I" Fortunately for Oreeco ho was heard. His ronsoiis for not abandoning tho port of Snlamis prevailed. This position was not departed from. Here tho hosts of Xorxos wore bouton, and tho Teutonic system of local self-government was pre served against tho most formidable oflort to overthrow it, and to establish in its stead that of the Asiatic typo, which was general consolidation and centralism. Themistocles, wo imagine, cared noth ing for tho odium of words, or even that of blows, if they had followed. Ha was moved by tho profound the liberties of his e-w .. ..ereat stake; A and it was no time to comAr-matters of mere taste, propriety, or even military subordination. We referred to this iucident a few days ago, on another occasion, in illustration of onr present position; aud now repeat it, for the special benefit of tho editors of tho Advertiser, that they may bear iu mind the fact that thoro can bo such a thing .ns earnest, zealous, entlinsinstio, disinterested patriotism, which rises os high above all mere selfish personal or party considerations as tho priceless at tributes of Liberty rise in tho estimation of all who are fit to enjoy it, above the glittering fascinations of Powor, whether exhibited in tho splendor of Royalty or iu tho more imposing insii/ma ol Empire. —Mobile Reyistei', 1 -L/h July. Sudden Death. Mr. John R. King, an old and prominent planter of Houston coun ty, died very suddenly on Thursday night last soon after going to lied.— lie had been in Perry during the day, and had remarked that ho was feeling better than he had felt for a long while. Soon after he and his wife had laid down his wife felt him make a peculiar struggle or tremble in bed, and spoke to lain, but receiving no reply she laid her hand upon him and found that he was dead.—Macon Tel egraph, 10th.
