Editors of ths Atlanta Sun: 1 here reed with greet cere the various opinions of leadingmen and journal*, pro and com, upon the “new departure C licj” now before the Democracy r eontideration. It strikes me that the only possible hope of defeating the Bedioal party is in koepiagthem on arraignment before the public for having been guilty of violating the cardinal principles of the Constitu tion, of disregarding laws made by thamselsaswhsn corrupt policy sug gested it, of imposing extraordinary taxation for the support of wanton extravagance, of neglecting to punish defaulters who pocketed hundreds of thou wads of dollars drawn from the pockets of the people, of licensing crime by the pardon of criminals for party purposes, by the total disregard •of Democratic principles us contra distinguished from monarchy, and b; the general winking at corruption am the enforcement or arbitrary usurpa tions in sapping the very foundation of Democratic government. Now, it appears to me that if wc stand upon the “New Departure” platform that wc have nothing contend for, because it is simply Republican platform, differing only on minor points with tho extreme men of that party. Then we would go into the canvass with silent longues, closed mouths und yielded arguments. Ifwc admit tho right, even for policy sako, of tho greatest crime they have committed, then it would be worse than foolishness to bleat about the lesser ones If they arc right in the adoption of the amendments, then they are justified of small matters in comparison. It would require a microscopic view to discover the real difference bet ween the Republican and the “new depar ture” platforms, aud the only hope of a success worth having is to grout the Radicals no amnesty, but to hold them responsible for all their usurpa tions. In this way wc may achieve a victory based npou the fundamental principles of Democratic government as contradistinguished from anything that looks towards or approximates monarchy. Radicalism in jiowcr mid adminis tration, to some extent, und in’effect, smarts of monarchy. We have felt it, J. M. A. moth, who has a lamentable d\ .on- tery of words, aud cannot help de claiming whenever ho had an oppor tunity, now made another speech, in whicfi he arruigued General Grant us aiding and abetting tho Dunn-Cascy movement, and threatened if lie was found guilty of tho charge, to aban don him in the next I'residential canvass, and to marshall against him in solid phalanx, all the Louisiana horse, foot and dragoons which he now has under his command. De- fore the Convention adioumod, he, in a scorching speech, handled all the leaders or the opposite faction, without gloves, aud made perfect mincemeat of them. Some of them have responded through the columns of the press, and if wc believe what tkay say of Warmoth and wliat War- moth says of them, we shall come to the conclusion that the leaders, on both sides, are the most corrupt and unmitigated scoundrels that tho tiltiiy Radicalism of the day has thrown up to the surface. The oentennary of Sir Walter Scott was celebrated yesterday at the Carroltou Gardens, under the aus pices of the St. Andrews Society, with mnch enthusiasm. The only drawback was tho heavy ruins, which now visit ns almost daily. Our city, however, remains perfectly healthy. IvANHOE. WASHINGTON CITY COUKES- PONDENCE. Important Letter from Cato. NEW ORLEANS CORRESPON DENCE. Letter from Ivanhor. New Ouleaeu, Aug. 15,1871. There was a tremendous flare-up last week among tho Radicals here, which, although it did not end in u regular pitched battle with clubs or other weapons of physical warfare, terminated in a display of personal recrimination and abuse of each other, such as has seldom or nover before been fulminated from the press or rostrum. Tho Dubu-Cascy-Graut party assembled at an early liour at the Custom House on tho uppoiuted day of meeting for tho Radical Con vention, with an array of United States troops for their'defence that was truly appulliug. On the arrival of the \V armoth wing of the party, with tho Governor of tho State at its head, they were denied entranoe to the building, unloss its members could show a pass from the Custom House functionaries. Such an authority for moving the limbs to aud fro has be come necessary in this country since uegroes were oonvorted into" white men aud white men into negroes. At leugtli the Governor was per mitted to pass into the building, if his Kxoellenoy chose to avail himself of the opportunity, but a numerous body of his friends aud partisans, who accompanied him, were positively re fined admittance. The excuse was, that the Dunn party were then and there holding a caucus, and did not wish to be interrupted. Mr. War- moth entered his protest, in the name of himself and friends, as regularly elected members of the convention, eutitted to take his seat in that liou- body. He had a particular errfioaity,' As well as his friends, to know wljat was going on in that caucus, aud what schemes its mem bers wen aecntlT plotting. The.or- inst the (^mission of lat- peremptory. and, with a view ' “ shedding of blood, mminent. Governor prudently drew off made them a speeoh, enthusiasm was railed to snob s pitch, that they took the horses from his carriage, pnt hint into it, and dragged him in triumph to Tamers’ Hall at Mechanics’ Insti tute, the old stamping ground of the Racial party, where Caucasian and African eloquence have often con tended with each other for the mes thete, the Warmoth wing, claim ing taaouatituta the majority, assem bled in Convention, and after electing a colored Pmsicisat to keen order, proceeded to bqrineas. Mr. War- WABRIiniToli, Ang. 18, 1871. I learn from a trustworthy source Unit the administration (I mean Grant and his Cubinct) will, ut the opening of Congress, oovertly favor, if not officially recommend, the jiuss- uge of an act by the requisite two- thirds’ vote, grunting universal am nesty! St. Pierre, when nobly vol untccring to be the first of the six victims demuuded by Kdwurd 111, up on the surrender of Calais by tho French, in 1347, exclaimed, (upon being pardoned at the instunce of Philip]*, the politic wife of the En glish King) “-Vote I tremble for my country!” It is one of those mysteries in poli tics that sometimes takes oenturics to solve exactly why the Northern abo litionists, after accomplishing the adoption of the thirteenth amend ment with the universal consent of tho South, did not stop short und ex tend the right hand of fellowship to their recent intelligent opponents.— Tho extremes are always nearer to eueli other than the intermediates are to either. Doubtless, in 18G5, this was tho intention of the thinking men of the dominant party. I may ven ture to explain that, in some degree, a contrary course wusdetermined up on, in consequence of the avidity with which mere office-seekers, North uml South, of the so-called Democracy, rushed in to support the “No Party,” alias the “No Principle Party,” of Andy Johnson's Cabinet. Such men in the main were influenced by sordid motives alone—office! They were mostly chronir, inveterateoffico-Scck- ers for pelf, like tho English poet, Young, who has less successful: "Twits* tula the period ape lit on stubltorn ' Court favor, yet untakcti, I besiege." We must watch these office-seekers with the eyes of an educated cat. I recollect very well tho principal jier- sonages ut the Convention in Phila delphia in 18GII. Not a single man of them but is now a rampant Radi cal or a mischievous “New Departu- rist.” Principles, to be sure, that no Jeffersonian Democrat could object to, wore adopted, but the very men who wore foremost in proposing them were the lirst to turn their back up on and spurn them—witness the very author of the address—but ''tie vior- tuisnil nisi honum.” Any remarks going to show that the information 1 now give, affords some evidence of a return to com mon sense on the part of tho Radical party, would bo out of place here. I am, however, one of those w ho would require a Shyloch bond of our com mon enemy. Nevertheless, it isclear thut u movement in this direction must needs take tho wind out of the soils of the New Ihqmrturists. If the South must, of necessity be (■ought, then 1 demand CASH, not promises! In this connection I am sorry to see so-called Democratic journals, which should favor the complete emancipation of the South ern white people, ns the “Dcpnrt- nri»ts” think in the only way it can jiossilily be affected, rather throwing cold water upon ths Radical pro gramme of universal amnesty—blunt and outright. They even misquote the speech of Mr. Morton, delivered at St. Louis a fow days ago. in order to pre vent what ho really did say from having it* legitimate effect! Ami Morton, I urn told, lias lost ground upon this very point with Graut and his advisers. W hat a muddle in pol itics. A gentleman of the Radical ]iersua- tiou. the other day, asked me why tho opponents of tho doctrine of the ra- tulity of fraud did not quote autlior- itiea going beyond, if not superior to the Constitution of the United States? He cited an old act of Parliament, (I think |Missod in the reign of Henry II, which, by the way, was ouly confirm atory of the Common Law and com mon senso) to the effect that a solemn judgment, though rendered by the Court of”' ~ King’s'" lleuch, the highest judicature of the realm, should lie t upon the allegation and proof ot collusion or fraud. Fraud vitiates everything. The Legislation of Kn- lund is full of repudiation liv the -ourts and repculs of acts of Porlia- K-nt, the ]*asage of which hod been E rocured fraudulently, and those acts ave been regarded in all their conse quences, even before repeal, us mere nullities. Acts of Congress in abuu- ongress in aiiun- danee conld be quoted, vitiated by which ex post facto have been d null and of no effect, from tinning, by snbaeqnent acts.— not do to say that the remodg these instances, was mainly, though not exclusively, through the Legislative authority. Tho “amend ments” to the Constitution complain ed of, preclude in some ( uses the in terposition of a majority or both Houses of Congress. Is it not mon strous to say that a naked fundamen tal fraud upon the American people without redress of auy kind, can lie perpetrated, because Congress bus seen proper to tie its own hands in such a manner as ]icrmanently to fix the fraud upon onr posterity in all time to come ? Cato. new yohk"corhesponi>- ENCE. Letter from “Seveatf-Sli.” New Youk, Aug, 17,1871. Editors of The A tlanta Sun: Since I last wrote you we have witnessed what appears to be the death of the “de parture” here in the North. Neither in Pennsylvania nor in Ohio dare the stumji speakers advocate it tiefore the people; and, almost without excep tion, the Democratic pupers are us silent ns the plucc of death about it. But this silence must not be taken for proof that the projectors of the ‘departure” meun to abandon it.— They have discovered that the masses of the Democratic party will not yet accept it, and they have been forced into silence until the present State campaigns are over, and then wc shall sec that they will begin in earnest to “educate the masses of the purty up to the situation.” This is just what they call it. They admit that the masses of the Democracy will not take the departure until they have been “educated up to it.” l’o give you an idea of just about how the iHioplc generally feel on this subject, I will quote a few lines from a letter just received from a farmer who re sides in ono of the interior couu ties of New York: “At your sug gestion, 1 harnessed my horse and rode nround mining my neighbors lust Saturday to see how they felt about the departure, and the first man 1 asked if lie meant to accept it, replied promptly, ‘not by a ji/g-full!’ While wo were talking, his brother came up, uml I asked him the same question, and he replied with indignation, ‘Wliat do you take me for?’ Another replied, ‘I belong to no such set’ Out of ten farmers I conversed with, I found but one Democrat who was not terribly down on the departure.” Now I will give you un extract from a let ter lutely received from one of the most distinguished Democratic ora tors in the Western States: “In this departure business the people are on one side and the politicians on the other. The politicians are deter mined tliut we shall surrender our doctrines of good government. The honest masses quite as unanimously oppose it But wo must not forget that politicsin America is now a trade, with tlie management of which the iieople have little connection.” Now l believe that these extracts give you a very good idea of the precise slate of tilings here in the North with re spect to the “departure.” Thera is no doubt that the honest masses of the Democratic jiarty look upon it with a degree of disfavor approaching contempt. There are many honest but weak men who fall in will) it from a mistaken idea of policy. There is on alarming and, it may prove to be, a fatal ignorance in political matters. It was only yesterday that u merchant of this city told me that lie did not see the propriety of opposing the amendments, “for,” said he, “they have properly been passed by Con gress, and that ought to end the mut ter.” Alas, 1 supiKiso that there are thousands in tins city who do not know any lietter. It is hut a short time since a man triumphantly asked me “if the National Government was not greater than the Stutc Govern mentis?” As it would have taken a mouth to let out the darkness from his understanding, 1 suffered him to go in his ignorance. Our greatest trouble hero is a general want of in telligence on all subject of politics. Dut tho Southern people may be assured that on their lirmness the fu ture depends. Thero is a power in truth which may yet save onr coun try: and if the Southern people can preserve anything like unity in iU support, to them mainly will belong the glory of bringing the government liaek to the foundations laid by our fathers. There is yet something like intellectual leadership left with you— with you the doctrines of liberty still survive. Hero wc have no doctrines ; we have policy ; wo have mountains of lies ; we have ouly a few grains of truth.
