We call our readers’ attention to day to Cato’s able letter from W ash ish ton city, and a scathing article from the New York Day Book.

Radical— But you are convinced that t lie Democratic party in oppoa- ing the 14th and 15th amendments did wrong in 1808, and you now de clare that, notwithstanding you de nounced them as “frauds, unconstitu tional, null and void,” and passed by “brute force,” you are in favor of let ting them stand as they are, and op posed to thuir being repealed or set aside? W hig and Tribune—iis, that is iny position. Radical—Well, my friend, we can shake hands here—that is the jtosition that the Radical party occupies on tliat question, and these amendments are part of the main pillars upon which our parly stands. But what induces you to depart from tlie De mocracy and join us? Whig and Tribune—We do not bc- lieve tliat if we remain steadfast to the ancient faith and principles of the Democratic party that we can succeed in defeating you Radicals, and we want to get into uflicc. We’ve been out a long time, tind in order to get in we’ll do almost anything; and to tell you the truth, we, never were much of a Democrat, as long us there was a Whig, u Know Nothing or an Op|to- sition party in the field, we fought it, and we did onr best a few years ago to prevent its reorganization in Ten nessee, and we are now ready to stab 1' DEW YORK CORRESPON DENCE. Latter front Observer. New Youk, Aug. 11, 1871. 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 that you “departure” Democrats are 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 ward you.—American Rescue, Shcl- iyrittf, Tetiu., Aug. 11, '71. 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 the United State's, collectively, formed tlie Union, how hup]iened it that the 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) Democrat, Aug. 10.

Wc notice a short article iu tlie Whig and Tribune of last week under tire above head. It asserts tliat the “Republican party generally condemn in uumeasured terms tlie ‘New De parture.’ ” Now wc are a pretty close reader of the newspapers, and we have not yet aeon asiugu art icle from a radical newspaper, North or South, that condemns the effort upon tlie part of the malcontent* aud policy, offioe-loving portion of tlie Demo cratic party for deserting their party and avowing that the measures aud policy of tho Radical party are right and proper, and mnst aud shall lie porpetnatod. Bnt on tho contrary thev approve of their conduct and urge them on. Such is the course pursued by all the ablest aud most influential journals of the Radi cal party North and South. The Whig and Tribune cannot point out a single Radical sheet of promincucc that condemns the movement If so, let it speak. We imagine wc see tlie Whig and Tribune being marched up under guard from the Democratic party of " ‘' it was a member, not of chot drafted member, and hear the 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 out his paper for a Now York Grant or gan. The price was agreed upon, but Grunt was unable to fulfill his purt of the bargain, which was tho disposal of cer tain official plunder for the purchase.— Besides, it was discovered tlmt for Grant to got hold of tho World as his especial organ, would set tho Tribune and Times dead against his administration; and so Judas Iscariot failed to get his money.— When ho wheeled his paper into the Democratic party ho was bought—bought to forsake his own Mongrel principles, and to play the part of a Democratic pa per, winch he believed was “the most We favor the largest liberty among statesmen and leaders of public ('pin | ion in regard in all the n-ui essential'* of a pui-tv organisation.

Tlio leaders, Leslie, Carlyle, Craddock anil Trootor Knott, havo nil declared, in rmphatio and clear arguments, upon the liviug issues of the day. These issues embrace stern and uncompromising opposition to the frand- ulent’l Uh and 15th amendments to tlio Constitution of tho United State". Some “resolution*,” newspapers, and jvoliti- eiuns, have alono advocated tile “new departure." The voice of the people re fused it uiwu its tiret issue.—Notches, cratio journalism in this country, for tlie paper has been only a sonroe of corinp- tion, bribery and dishonor. It is os un truthful as it is malignant against all true Democratic principles. In this article against Mr. Stephens it says ; “ Five-sixths of tho Democratic journals of the country approve and on- ilorso V dlandigham’8 ‘ new departure.”’ Now, wo challongo the WarUl to name twenty well known, able, and efficient Democratic journals in tbo whole United States which have heartily endorsed the “new departure.” Less than one-fourth of the Democratic press of all sorts have done so, and we do not know one of tho leading papers of the departure,” here in the North, which was ever u sound Democratic paper. If tliero is such a paper, which is it? They are all tho fossil remains of the old “free soil” anil abolition “departures." “De parture'’ from the principles of tho Democratic parly is no new thing to them. They are as familiar with it oa tho devils were with the swine they pos sessed in Uullilee. They “doparted" iu 1848. They “departed" in 1863, into tho service of Lincoln. And tho sooner thoy ere “departed” finally and forever, tho better will it be for tho Democratic party and our country. Tho W,trlil hopes Mr. Stephens will be “loyal and submissive;” which is tho ver nacular of treasou to the Constitution of tho United States. It is not the language of Democracy. The editor of that hire ling sheet has not been long enough iu the company of Democrats to know either tho principles or tho language of the party. But he says “we" with an impudence quite equal to that of the unmentionable tilings which swam down the river in company with tlio apples. “See how wc Democrats swim,” says tho Ulw-W.

But it is a slander to say tliat “five- sixths of the Democratic papers" have gone bathing in those tnrbid waters, which are full of the sediment of “fraud*,” ’‘despotism,” and “amendments.” Aud it is simply foolislincas to imagine tluit the Democratic party, when it assembles to nominate a President next year, is goinr to denude itself of nil its principles, am follow these departureite* iuto tho cess pool of Mougruhsm.

They tell what it is going to do next year as though thoy car ried it in their pockets. It was three tailors who once petitioned the crown of Great Britain, beginning thus, “Wc, the people of England !" etc. The impudence of the “departed Democrats” is about a match for that. Mr. Stephens’ senti ments, as expressed in Ilia paper, are es sentially the same held by an overwhelm ing majority of the Democratic party of the whole country. Tlio doctrine of the World are held bv less tlian one-tentli of the party.—New York Day Bool; August 12, 1871. 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. Had there only been eight or ton thous and Democratic majority its rejoioing over the effooU of its teachings in Ken 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. —Lnuistills, Ky., Ledger, KVA .1 ug., 1871.
