thlilors Atlanta Sun: 1 have lieeu look
ing into the Now York World tor some
(into post lor an answer to yonr article in
reply to bis inquiries about tbc true line
which should divide botween “dead" and
“living issues." But instead of nnswer
ing or attempting to amail ymn impreg
nable positions, it shifts its ground and
comes back with nil article propounding
and discussing the question, “ Ts Alt'xou
ilcr H. Stephens a Democrat ?” This is
regrtrdod here na a backing out on the
part ef tbc IForW. But tliero arc two
questions tliat under present circum
stances might be appropriately put to
Jli . Mauton Marble, the master editor of
the World. When did ho become a
Democrat ? Is he uow a Democrat of the
Jeffersonian type f The writer of this
letter has lived in tlio city of Now York
during the last forty years—has lived and
moved in the Democratic party, in it*
commits <’* and conventions, aud never
horn d of the name of Mauton Marble po-
Btieally before lie beoameau editor of
the New York World.
Ho has soon many Democrats change
front in those forty years, aud a majority
of those who did so were led onward by
the motivefaat “to the victors belongthe
aisiils." Soma of them were renegades
from the Democratic party because of the
disappointment of selfish ambition, like
Van Rurcn, who not being nominated for
the Presidency in 1814 retired to Linder
wold, where the Wilrnot proviso was incu
bated. Many of the New Departure Dem
ocrats of the present day, like Judge
Chase, were free soil Democrats, anxious
to play the game that will most likely, to
themselves, win the victory. They are
regardless of the tremendous issue to lie
tried in the contest of 1872—namely, in
the words of Thomas Jefferson, in 1801 :
“ The support of the State Govern
ments in all their rights as the most com
petent administrations fur our domestic
concerns and the surest bulwarks against
anti-Republican tendency . ”
“ The preservation of the General Gov
ernment in Its whole Constitutional
vigor."
“A jealous care of the Right of Elec
tion I iv the people, a mild and safe cor
rective of the abuses which are U>pi>cd off
by the sword of Revolution, where peace
able remedies are unprovided."
“ Freedom of Religion, freedom of the
Press, aud freedom of the person under
the protection of the Unban corpus, and
trial by jurire impartially ■elected. ”
“ Should we wander from these' in mo
ments of error or alarm, let iu hasten to
retrace our stops and regnlu the road
which alone lends to Peace, to Lilterty
aud Safety.” Oniuatvitn
it in the back, and if your Radicals
will only do as wc have done, desert
your part a, ami go with ns, and elect
some good “Conservative Radical” as
President, we cun forma new party
that will kill both tho ultra Radical
and the sitnon pure Democratic par
ties, which we, by way of derision
style “Bourltons.”
Radical—l am glad to meet yon,
Mr. Whig and Tribune. I like to sec
you mumfostsneh a determined spirit,
and hope you will continue to oppose
the Democratic party. You can ef
fect more good in that way than hy
openly avowing yourself a Radical.
Stick to Democracy—that is, swear
you arc a Democrat, but that the
time lias come when the party must
make an “advance movement”
order to defeat the Radicals. Wc arc
not yet prepared tonccept yourpropo
sition, however. We fear that wt
cannot sutisfy a majority of our parly

iu earnest. But if you cun so divide
tho Democratic party by endorsing a
portion of our platform, thereby en
abling us to elect Grant, or some
other Radical, we’ll not forget to re

ereign capacity ." formed the Union,
then the votes of the majority of that
people would have been required to
ratify the compact. But it was States
that'were represented in tin Conven
tion which framed our constitution of
Government—States in their separate
and independent character of sov
ereign powers—and hence it required
the separate ratilicatiou of each State
fur itself of tho compact, before it
could be proclaimed adopted and go
into operation. Tho ratification was
not referred to tile peoples of the
States colkcticcly, and as there was
liter peoples than those of the
several SuiU s, it follows logically and
necessarily,' as well as from the histor
ical facts which sustain this conclu
sion, tliat it is absolutely, logically
and historically false, that the “poo-
do of the United States, in their eol-
lectivc and sovereign capacity,” form
ed the States-Union or our Constitu
tion of Government.
Another evidence tliat the “Union
was not formed by the people of the
United States in their collective and
sovereign capacity,” is the fact that
two States declined to ratify the Con
stitution of Union, and remained
outside of it for several years as sov
ereign ami independent nations, lie-
ng governed solely hy their respective
Stale organisms, ii' the iteiqile of

people* of those two States were sub
ject only to their respective Stale gov
ernments, until tlioso States ratified
the compact and joined tiicir sister
States? Morton’s “issue” is so ab
surdly false, tliat even a iterversion of
the facts of history, or the most plaus
ible sophistry, fail to make it appear
in any other light than a traitorous
attempt to bolster up usurpation and
imperialism.—Butler County (Ohio)

POLITICS IN GEORGIA.
[From the LaUrauge Reporter.]
Who arc tlie Extremist* I
Wc propose to answer this ques
tion very hricily, and we hope to the
satisfaction of every honest and can
did mind. Tlie Democrats, who ad
here to tlie old landmarks of their
fathers, and oppose the “new depar
ture,” constitute the only really and
truly conservative political body in
tho whole country. Tlie Republican
party makes no pretensions to con
servatism. It has long ago advanced
beyond anil outside of all Constitu
tional barriers in its national legisla
tion. To such legislation we are in
debted for the XIV and XV umend-
The Democratic party of this
country”do not “think that this t/ov-
ernment is a compact la-twecn sov
ereign and independent States,” but
they do “think” and contend that the
Government is tlie creature—tlie re-
sitit—of tlie compact between sov
ereign uud independent States, and
tliat, therefore, tlie Government thus
resultiat/ is subordinate to the States
from which it derives its powers.
What is Government ? Simply a
trust committed by the peoples of the
several States to their agents. What
constitutes tho General Government
in this country ? The agents whom
the States stipulated in the compact
between them, should lie selected from
time to time.io carry out the powers
delegated, and enumerated ill the com
port, and in the manner therein spec
ified.
Tlie Compact, therefore, instead of
being the Government, is merely a
contract between the several sovereign
and independent States, containing
the powers which t hey severally agreed
should Ite exercised for their joint
benefit by their agent—the General
Government.
When Senator Morton takes issue
against this doctrine, lie takes issue
against tlie facts of the History of tho
formation of tlie Federal Union,
which he and a hundred thousand
such devils, while they falsify them
can never change, nor prove anything
more than that thoy are a screw
of traitorous scoundrels, delilte
ratelv engaged in subverting the Un
ion of onr fathers and destroying the
common liberty. Tlio doctrine that
there is “but one sovereign and tliat
is tlio nation,” is the legitimate off
spring of bayonets and consolidation.
“Force,” said Titos. Jefferson, “is tin
parent of despotism.” Consolidation
of the several States into what Mor
ton calls tlie “Now Nation,” or “one
sovereign," is a desjtotiem established
by tlio lorCe of bayonets. The sov
ereign and independent States had
first to be subjugated by force—mur
dered and robbed—before the moil
strons lie could he proclaimed that
■•there are not thirty-eight sovereigns,
W}t one sovereign, aud tliat is tlie na-
■in.” „ , . , .
Wc would be gratified indeed if
Morton or some of Uisco-conspiruiors
would explain why, if tlio “Union was
forfned bv tlie people of the United
States in their co7/e<7irc and sovereign
capacity,’’ it reuuiretl the ratification
of three-fourths of the Slates, as
Sltites, as requisite to its adoption
If the “people of the United States
in their collective aud sov-
ments, fraudulently forced upon the
people at tlie point of the bayonet,
and for the Ku-KIux mid Enforce
ment hills also. These could not
have bet onto laws of the land inside
of the Constitution. These facts arc
admitted bj every Democrat in the
United States auil hy thousands of
Republicans beside.
_ ion, taking the position that
these amendments have been engraft
ed upon tlio Constitution through
fraud and usurpation—outside of and
beyond the manner Constitutionally
appointed—a jtosition which may he
assigned to every man claiming to he
a Democrat—we assert that those
who are willing to accept the amend
ments as valid parts of tho Constitu
tion, constitute the next party in or
der to tlie Republican party til sus
taining extreme measures. All admit
tliat the procurement of the obnox
ious amendments was “outside of the
Constitution,” and therefore extreme;
and yet we find Democrats who art
willing to accept, as valid, tho traits
of fraud and corruption, and cry out
Dom-bun, red-hot extremists, &e., to
the conservative Democrats whoso
only sin is to adhere strictly to Con
stitutional principle* and to preserve
tho liberties of the people and tlio
sovereignty of the States. Yes, and
itecause Constitutional Union Demo
crats are unwilling to slop up in liue
with tlio Republican party in support
of their extreme measures, we are de
nounced as revolutionists by those
who know iu their hearts they lie
when they make such charge.
The opponents of tlie Republican
party and its younger sister, the “new
departure,” constitute the only con
servative political elements of the
country. They only desire to pre
serve intact the supremo law of the
land; and are opposed to all changes
in llio Constitution that have not
Iteen made in the maimer and by tlie
authority appointed in tlmt docu
ment. If this element docs not pre
dominate, civil and Constitutional
liberty in America will soon bo at an
end.—Latlrange (tta.) Reporter, Am
gust 11, 1871.
Several weeks ago the New York World
liml u civil enough editorial in relation
to the position of Jiou. Alexander Ii.
Stephens on tin, fraudulent “amend-
incut," in which it asked Mr. StepUeus
some questions, and expressed a destte
that lie would bo “more explicit.” Mr.
Stephens quoted tho whole 'of the World's
article in the Atlanta Sun, nud replied to
it at length in an article of great ability
and fairness, which completely silenced
tho World. It neither copied Mr. Ste
phens’ article, nor lit tempted uuy reply
to his arguments. For a whole month
it was silent, and then it came out with
an urticlo entitled : “Is Alexander II.
Stephens a Democrat ?“ which, for as
surance and downright impudence, sur
passes anything tlio New York 'Tinas can
do in tliat line.
It opens with this sentence : “We are
not among those who approve of the
suspicious east by somo Southern jour
nals on the motives of Mr. Stephens,"
tee. Now, wo tuke the reepousibility of
saying that no respectable paper, North
or South, lias cast “suspicions upon tlie
motives of Mr. Stephens." This is a
falsehood of tlie Worlds own invention.
And its whole article, under tlie hypo
critical cover of defending Mr. Stephens,
tho most malignant abuse of ltim. Una-
able to meet aud refute his arguments, it
resorts to tlie dishonorable trick of
periling his motives. Tlio man who could
write BUi-li an urtic-le is a sneak and a
coward. Wo mean just tliat. Tlmt a
journalist who is notoriously in the mar
ket for sale, and who was, until within a
short time, to the best of his ability, the
most lying and venomous enemy of tlie
Democratic party—who, when his sheet
had proved a failure as a rabid “ Radical”
organ, and he was compelled to sell out
to tlie Democrats, wrote to Mayor Op-
dyke : “I must have more money to keep
my paper going, or I shall be compelled
to sell out to tlie Democrats, which will
be the most mortifying eventof my life;”
tliat such a dishonorable carpet-bagger at
this in the Democratic party should at
tempt to asperse the motives of any lion
ornble man, is proof that journalistic im
pudence has gone up to a pitch unknown
in the world before.
This Aminidab Sleek of tlio press says :
“In thus defending Mr. Stephens, wf
take it for granted that Ire intends to sub
mit liia judgment to tlmt of the Demo
cratic National Convention in 1872.”
Now, tills comes well from an editor who,
two weeks before the (late of tho last
Presidential election, on a long and leaded
oditorml, threw overboard the Democratic
nominees, in consideration, it is believed,
of a certain large sum in hand paid by some
capitalists at W ushington. Who will go bail
tliat ho will not do the same thing this
time ? We do not suppose there is a
Democrat in the United States who does
not honestly believe that this man would
go back to tho ‘‘Radicals,” and if they
check up to his figure, they cau havo him
again.
After Grant’s election he tried to sell

Now, wo challongo the WarUl to

endorsed the “new departure.” Less
than one-fourth of the Democratic press

tliero is such a paper, which is it? They

es of attaining tlie common
goal.
Democracy can not. indeed, beoppross-
ed by thumb-screws, to follow out a pre-
aerihod course, but it follows willingly
when the divergence of leaders skirt
along iu some well known direction, not
too far from some licuteu track that is
known to bo sate. Bnt neither Democ
racy nor any other well defined idea em
bodied iu organizations of the people, or
parties, cau with safety listen to the ad
vice or accept the leadership of those
who strike off ut right angles, or take di
rectly the buck track. In such a course
there is either treasou to tlio party or a
lack of common sense, neither of which
inspires any one with the idea of safe
leadership.
Now that tho election ia over, aud the
party mny tuke a calm survey of the con
test, and review the reports of the gen
erals from tho battle-field, the time has
come to make up a just estimate of all
the elements thut conspired for onr suc
cess, aud note tlie hindering causes to a
greater and more complete victory. That
tlie standard bearers of tho purty did no
bly none can oeuy. They met tbc enemy
fairly and squarely, and fought inside the
Democratic linee. There were no com
promises, no dodging, no disgraceful
yielding of position, and no acknowl
edgement th-t Radicalism is not just
what it is, a lawless and despotic organi
zation, based upon false principles, and
destructive in practice of all the enda of
good government. Those were the posi
tions taken by every Democratic orator
that entered the canvass. All the truly
Democratic papers in the State took the
same position, admitting nothing iu re
gard to Radical measures, but that their
tendencies were dangerous to onr free in
stitutions, and conducivo to centralized
despotism. They battled earnestly
against its principles, its measures, its
tamperings with the Constitution, its mis-
government of the Southern States, its
military despotisms and internal corrup
tions, by whicli the pablio domain is
squandered and thepnblic treasure wast
ed. The people havo been warned thus
against giving countenance, aid, or en
couragement to this party in Kentucky,
and every thing bid fair to give Radical
ism such an overwhelming defeat that it
would never again attempt to organize a
vigorous canvass in the State. But the
election day approached, and many in
the ranks of the Democratic party were
apathetic. Tliero was evident lnck
of industry and effort somewhere. It
was seen here in Louisville, and but for
the superhuman efforts of earnest and
faithful Democrats during the latter part
of the day, our city might hove been
claimed by the Radicals.
What was the cause of all this ? Tho
question is answered in the humiliating
confession of the Courier-Journal yester
day morning. This paper, in years past
the leading journal of tho party iu tlio
State, stood aloof from the ticket. It
acknowledges itself the author of a schism
ia the party that gave the Radicals such
buoyant hopes of success. It uow con
tinues to threaten the disintegration of
the Democratic party iu tho future un
less Democrats will Mlow it in its Radi
cal wanderings. With bold-and shame
less effrontery it claims credit for not hav
ing direotly opposed Governor Leslie be
cause that gentleman would not follow
its leadership. It falsely says thnt it sup
ported him, when the reverse is notori
ously true. That paper simply did noth
ing to swell the Democratic vote. It
was disappointed iu the result, ami nuw
wishes to sneak back into the confidence
of tho Democratic party, and mako Dem
ocrats believe that it is true aud faithful.

tucky would havo been so jubilant that
peans of “departnro” would have flooded
its columns, intermingled with anathe
mas against the orators and press of
Kentncky, from now till the next elec
tion, if indeed it wonld not have thrown
off its Democratic garb and hoisted the
Radiool colors, and been lovingly receiv
ed into fnll Radical fellowship.
In its whining apology for its support
of Radicalism, that paper says: “(
ernor Leslie opened fire upon us early in
the action, and without provocation.”—
This is untrue, unless tho Courier-Journal
is willing to confess itself tho embodi
ment ot Radicalism. Governor Leslie
never mentioned it in his canvass, ap
provingly or otherwise. He,opposed the
departnro, and could not speuk a word in
praise of the Courier-Journal unless ho
joined hands with Morton, who did praise
it, and tell its editor, who sat with him
upon tho stand, that if he was honest in
bis departure notions his proper placo
was in the Radical parly. But Governor
Leslie said nothing about the paper at oil.
Radicals hawked j about its leditorials
all over the State, and praised its course:
but Democratic speaker* gave it the cold
ahouldor, as the paper was doing for the
Democratic ticket.
It is now too late in the day for the
Courier-Journal to oorne to the frout and
flaunt the strength of its schism in the
face of the Democrats. The victory in
Kentncky of gennino Democracy lias
been won without the influence of that
paper, and in spite of it Kentncky De
mocracy can stand alon* without its help.
