THE DAILY SUN Thubodat Mobkcto Jolt 27, Office iu Lochrane’t Building, next door to corner of Broad and Alabama Streets. Tin laMiinrllle, Kir., Conrler- Mml Again. hi the tone of the paper (which head* thi* article) of the 22d iuet* if an editorial addressed to us in a tone and a spirit which commend it to our most serious consideration. We re gret that our space will not allow its reproduction to foil to onr oolnmna. This is always the hast method of securing full, free and fair dismission upon all subjects where tlie as certainment of truth is the object It is the oourse we nsualiy adopt, but in this ease we can, for the reasons stated, only allude to the general line of argument pursued by the Caprier- Joumal, and then reply distinctly to the (wo categorical question^ pro pounded. The Courier-Journal, then, Kgnes as if onr object was Revolution, and main tains that the eettlng aside of the “ fraudulent amendments” : to the Constitution would be Revolution. To this we say, by no means. It would only be the arresting of a Rev olution concocted, designed and now being carried on to overthrow the entire fabric of free institutions on tliif continent Were not the whole Reconstruction measures, of which these - 14th an« 15th Amendments, so called, are bat the iniqwitous eflbpring, openly anc avowedly Revolutionary in theif char acter? Did wot over two millidns six hundred thousand of America^ free men so declare at the polls iq 1868, (the editors of the Courier-Ji to the number) ? Did they not pro claim that these measures t were “unconstitutional,Revotutionarg, null and voidf And would not Hires hundred thousand mors of the same freeman have prononnoed the same stern judgment constituting a majori ty of the voters in the United States, if they had not been wantonly and grossly disfranchised by as unscrupu lous usurpations of power as are to bo found in the annals of civilization? Is this rhetoric or is it fact? Then, if these three hundred and mote thousands of freemen, now no longer dbfrahdhiscd, shall go to tho polls in 4872, and with the nnbrokon phalanx of tho undaunted oohorts of their comrades of 1868, and such patriotio aids aa may oome from the ranks of their opponents, who now see dearly what they did not in 1868 —the red. designs of the Revolution ists—shall pronounoo a popular judg ment against (jicse acts of usurpation, and their authors; how, in thd name of reason and justice, can this be said to be a Revolution t It will, indeed, be a Resolution in one sense. A Rev olution of bad men out of office and good ones in their stead. It will bo such a Revolution as Hampden, Pym and Coke effected in England when they arrested the levy, of ship money, abolished the Court of Star Chamber and restored the writ of habeas oor- pas—such a Revolution as JAflbreon and the Demooraoy eSooted in tit is country to 1800, when they pnt the seal of everlasting condemnation upon the infamous alien and sedition acts. It will be such a Revolution in tho entire body politic aa was effected in the person of tho one from whom the devils were driven out ? As he was restored to his right mind by the Revolution thus effected in him, so will our oountiy, now distracted by the evil spirits tormenting it be re stored to its right mind and right ful action by that sort of Revolution we propose. But, says the Courier- Journal: We want lighter taxes. We wool slews expensive end less corrupt administra tion. Ws went a more national and toi- Ws want to cheek the 1 revolution crant spirit courts both of eon-option end re Tola be (hot necessary aisnlaosment in governing party whieb. whilst (until •*sns& and pubHe the jtfUrnhhing fot reforms, re- l of their dep code nee on tire people swd their obli gation to the Stele. To this we any, that is exactly what we want to do. We want to check the course both of corruption and Revolu tion bg tho necessary displacement of the governing party, 4oq but we ask, in all earnestness, can this be ex pected to be done on any rational principles, by indorsing, approving and sanctioning the admitted Revolu tionary act* of the Governing Party ? How ia the Revolution, then, to pro gress, to be checked by sanctioning it* worst seta, and following in shouts of] appeal on the tins of its progress t Wow to the Courier-Joumafs spe cific questions: L Iff.

Lord Coke sold: “Parliament cannot create disabilities.” So we say, and so we would have each House of the Congress of the United States to de clare; and we would have the four millions of the voters of the United States, who hold the same opinion, so to declare their judgment at the polls; and vote for no man who docs not hold the same opinion! Just so with tho office of Chief Magistrate. We mean that the same overwhelming majority of the people of the United States who feci and know that these “ interpolations” in tho Constitution are nothing but the results of usurpation and fraud, shall vote for no man who holds that the Constitution can be rightfully or val idly so amended. In like manner, precisely as the Democracy did in 1800 in the election of Mr. Jefferson, on the validity of the alien and sedi tion acts. Just as the Democracy then triumphed and rescued tho Govern ment in its fbtal tendency to central ized despotism, so we mean that the Democracy in 1872 should do. This is their high mission, if they could bat prove themsolves to be equal to its grand requirement*. This is how we propose to get rid of these great frauds called Constitutional Amend ments. “ stand foremost in the breach, to re- “pait or perish it ?” A. H. 8. PtiHtlcs in Arkansas. The Dardanellcc (Ark.) Chronicle, in a late issue, amongst other like sentiments, utters the following: If tbs Northern Democracy choose to soospt tbe late “so-called” amendments to tbe Constitution, they can do so; but we are still opposed to them, at nil times and under aU circamstanoea. If the- choose to abandon the old, well-tried time-honored landmarks, they can do so; we will not now nor ever follow after thorn. If they choose to become Republicans to defeat Republicans, or Radicals to defeat Radicalism, they oan just do so; we will none of it If the Northern people are too eon-apt, too ignorant, too unfit for self-government and must needs have a prong government—a government chang ed from what it was in 1861, a govern ment consolidated and centralized at Washington, in a Congress or in a Presi dent they oan jnst fix it that way; we will spurn it and apit upon it (still, and rail aloud for heaven and earth to witness the betrayal of constitutional liberty. iUisciUancone. AMERICAN STANDARD SCHOOL SERIES. SCHOOL X BOSS It. Mr. Stephens; after you have got rid of the amendments, what do you to do with the negro? Having de prived him of the guarantees^ oontained in the amendments, of suffrage and oivil will you deprive him rights? And, in this latter event, what is your general idea aa gut to be made to the dlspoeition that ougl of him? We mean to do with the block popu lation just as with any other class of the population in the country—that is, leave their status—their rights, civil and political—with tho States whereto they reside respectively.— Their freedom is forever guaranteed to them by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which was right fully and validly adopted by nil the States most dooply interested in the subject As to suffrage and what extent of civil or political rights shall be extended to this class of popula tion, these are questions for each State to determine for itself. Con gress has no more rightful control over them than over woman suffrage, Indian suffrage, or tho civil or politi cal rights of any other class of popu lation in the respective States. This is our view of this subject briefly given. Our general idea as to the disposi tion of this class of population is that it ought to be dealt fairly and justly by, in Ml the States; and that all rights, civil and political, ought to be secured to them by cacti State respectively, as thsy shall prove themselves fit to have awarded them. As a Georgian, we have no disposition to interfere in the slightest degreo with the policy that Massachusetts or Connecticut, or Kentucky or Pennsylvania, or New York, may adopt, each for itself, in regard to this race. We only protest that neither nor all of these States shall interfere with that policy which Georgia, in her “wisdom, moderation, and justice,” shall determine is for the best interests of both races, within her limits and jurisdiction. She has her self, by her own act, and in good faith, forever, guaranteed their freedom; and we doubt not will also forever award them ail their rights which they may prove themselves to be fit to exercise for the best interests of soci ety. These are questions, howevor, which, in no way rightfully belong to Fedoral politics—and the taking ju risdiction of them by the Federal Government, is itself the essence of centralism. It is against this usurpation of Power—gross, wanton and destruc tive to our American system of local State government, that we would have the Democraoy of the Union to rally as one man in the great struggle of 1878. It is not for or against “negro suffrage," or “negro oivil or political rights,” the rally should be made; bat against those who are for tearing down the whole frame work of Feder al Institutions. Hi this straggle, in onr judgment, the motto of the Democracy, em blazoned on their every banner from Maine to California should be the words of Chatham on a memorable This was on the ques- n of the “disability” of the House of Commonsprassunciamento against the right of Wilkes to hold a seat in that body. “A breach has boon made in the “Constitution; the battlements are has been, I "dismantled; the citadel is open to It they say we only mean to quiet our >wn people by crying out “dead issues,” 'accomplished facts,” “sooepting tbe sit uation,” tbe till democracy ran get control of tbe government, and then they will eet about changing what they pledged themselves to ocqnTesoe in and abide by; what we have to say is: that all this is worse than telling lies, it is acting lies in the (ace of tbe world, and we, for one, will have nothing to do with it. The South ia too pure, too virtuous, too pat riotio, too intelligent, too republican, too democratic even, to bo caught in any such company, or of being guilty of any sneh dnpheity and falsehood. Such log ic is too shallow and too inconsistent to deceive her, for her to give it up, for any earthly consideration whatever. * r Tbe South falls into the arms of bar ben- efaotor, who chastens her, os loving and loved children are chastened, bat she will commend herself to this same great ben- 8 great I efactor, by dinging on to her birthright of constitutional liberty, and never, nev in will she give it np or yield it only with her last agonizing, expiring breath. Never will she yield her principles of fi delity to the glorious old Constitution of onr tethers, till her true sons have shown to the world that there is a people who prefer principle to policy—that there is a a people (who yield not only slavos and property, land and money, but life itself, sooner than betray liberty, sooner than violate a oovenant, sooner than permit her oovenant violently to be broken. • * • * The wealth of North ern Democrats, the keen sagacity and eunning of Northern Democrats, havo contributed their port to our woes and id tbs our misfortunes, and their eowardioe since tho war has become proverbial, for they profess one thing and practioo another. They tell us the amendments are uncon stitutional, and then eat their own words by crying oat pitiably, “Wo accept the situation." WESTERN ANDfATLANTIC RAILROAD.
