In our weekly issue, of this week, will be found the speech of Hon. B. H. Hill, delivered In this city on the night of the 11th instant, urging upon Democrats the support of Mr. Oreeley for the Presi dency in the present canvass. The speech has been characterized as tho ablest and most eloquent that has as yet been made, or perhaps can be made on bit side of the question. How this is, we shall leave for others to determine. We give it to our readers in full, that they may judge lor themselves; but to us it seems that if this is the best showing that can be made for Mr. Greeley, he has but little to commend him to the fa vor of Democrats, or the friends of Con stitutional Government in this country, by whatever name they be called. To the readers of The Son, no review of this address is noohssary for a refuta tion of its general positions. We think it proper, however, not to let it pass without calling attention to a few of its most prominent points and some of its most extraordinary statements. 1. Mr. Hill, in speaking of theUsurpa- tions of Congress in tha matter of the Reconstruction measures, jsays: uieoto of ton of tho Butee were absolutely sobver- tod, III other governments crested by Congressional power, orgenlned In their steed. They not only uoesod nmeodmonto to tho Confutation to preserve tho fruits of tho war, es they eeid.hut they continued, e.tor thoeo emendmonte wore adopted, to exorcise congressional powers unknown to the Confutation, and absolutely startling in their chancier, and ex clusively of n war netaro. Force was tho power employed to govern this oountry In n very urge degree. Not only hod these amendments been passed, but the dominant parly term—Ibis state of things alarmed, end JueUy alarmed, many of lbs beet and wisest men of the Be. E ublicnn party. They saw that measures wbtcu they ed adopted, lu a moment of passion, end which they thought were neo. sear} si tor the war wore to ho repeated end repeated, until it the party In power absolutely lutouded to subvert itepubllcen govrrument, and Institute Oentrellem, lisspotuut in lie steed. It ws* believed that there waea euffletent number otpetriouc men In the Unit ed mates to oorrect this evil, If br any means they combine together. These iudisputable historio facts, thus set forth by Mr. Hi)], must be borne in mind by every reader of the speech, who would jugtly appreciate its merits M t whole, looking to the object intended. Ha announoes the great faot that the Governmenta of ten BUtea of the Union wore overthrown, “ absolutely subverted, " and the 14th and 10th Amendments in corporated in tbs Constitution of the United States by fores; and other acts psaw^lmdiug direotly to oentralixatiou. ThjntelBsya, “ jnotlj alarmed many of tbq^asi and wisest men of the Itepubli- MB pasty." Bat we ask at this point, was Mr. Greeley one of them ? That ia the pres ent moat pertinent qaeetion. Was he not among the chief actors in all thia horrible drama in whieh near ten milliocs of people wore put under absolute mili tary rale end denied every civil right known to the law—every seerHty for the protection of, person or property ? We maintain that he was. • What Mr. Hill says upon the snbjeot constitutes one of his most extraordi nary statements to whioh wo have re ferred. It ia in these words: Mr. Greeley has Mid and done many thing* which I used not tell you I do not appftn e—you do not approve; but Mr. Greeley has alwaya boon in favor of ouo policy whioh rollovoa mo of tho moat vita* objection to hla support. Uo uovor baa at any tune approved of thoao odious features of the reconstruc tion policy which disirancliised the virtue and Intel ligence of the Houlh ami enfranchised the ignorance and vice of the Mouth. Did he not approve aud urgo the pas sage of these Reconstruction measures, in which this disfranchisement and enfranchisement were oarrisd ? Every men at all conversant with the history of the times, knows that he did. It is one of the greed tecta of history that can never be obliterated or erased, that he did nrga the peaeege of these Bi'ls with these most odious features in them, whether he approved them or not. He wee thereby as maoh responsible for them so any man living. Bnt that ha did so approve, dost not rest upon this information. Ia his oorreapondenoe with ex-Governor Heraohel V. Johnson, ha sUsttnrtly avowed this approval l Nay, more, ha was in favor of all that "force" by whioh the 14th and 16th Amendments fin incorporated in the Constitution, and whieh carried such alarm to many of tha best end wisest men of the lte- pabUeen Party. This, we suppose, nei ther Mr. Hill nor any other man will •NT van turn to deny. Moreover, Mr. UyasUjT, today holds Uu, same senti ments on UiO snbjeot of tbaes gross tuur potions of power these CongreaaAnsl eats "outside of tho OonsUtutiou' -that be did thee. Let oar raiders hear all Ibaeo fasts in BUsd .also,(in sonsidoriug the surile of Mr. IftU'e epeoek, In commanding him to the favor of Item aerate es their osndi- dete lor President.

Mr. Hill, as many others, very errone ously attributes tho origin of this “New Departure” policy to Mr. Vallaudigham. Not so, by any means, as we understand it. Mr. Vailaudigham's Resolution re ferred to the amendments, so-called, as matters purely defacto—not de jure—just as we have held them ever since they were proclaimed as parts of the Consti tution. The "New Departure” Platform of Ohio, last year, was not Mr.\YuUandi- gham's Resolution. It was another resolu tion of very different import and mean ing, according to orr understanding of it. It was modeled upon the basis of the 9th resolution of the Harrisburg Platform. That is the resolution whioh embodied tho doctrine of the "New De parture” in its essence. The atatemen t of Mr. Hill on this sub ject, to whioh we have referred, is in these words: I wish you to understand there WM uo member of the Democratic party, North or Mouth, ever dreamed, under any circumstance*, of oonoedlng the Justice or the righteousness of the reconstruction policy. Every assertion to the contrary Is a slander which ought to bring the blush of shame to all who have uttered it. How Mr. Hill oonld maka this state ment in the faco of the Resolution of tho Harrisburg Convention, of last year, when the “New Departure” first showed its head with its real colors, we cannot imagine. That Resolution was in these words: »• Kttolvfd, That we recognize the binding obliga tion of all the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, as thsy now exist; and we dep recate the discussion of issues which have been settled Id the manner and by the authority Con stitutionally appointed." Was not this an express declaration that amendments to the Constitution which bad been can led, as Mr. Hill him self asserts, by force, were of binding obli gation ; and not only this, but that they hAd been incorporated in the fundamen tal laws as valid parts of it “ in the man ner and by the authority constitutionally appointed f" Does not this Resolution broadly and unequivocally concede and indorse, yea, sanction, the rigbtfnlness of these measures, by which those ini quitous frauds were claimed to be incor porated in the Constitution as valid parts thereof, and which bad so alarmed the better class of Republicans as to the safe ty of our free inat tntions ? Is it cot straDge that Mr. Hill, or that any man could have made the statement he did, without a blush ? 8. But ho further says: Unfortunately, then, another grout aud good man, Mr. Htepbene. ooiumenoed editing a paper, aud hla paper waa full of atatementa that these amendment i should be treated as nullities, and when the Demo crat'o candidate was elected, that he waa to proclaim them aa auch. How, or why, pray, was this unfortu nate? If these amomimeuts were carried by usurpation, by fraud, by perfidy and force, as Mr. Hill Bays they wero, are they not necessarily nullities, under a rightful administration of tho Government? Is there a man in tho United States who oould have tho faoe, before anyCourt, to maintain that these measures had been curried " in the manner and by the au thority constitutionally appointed?” If so, be has a harder face than thoir author had; for he openly announced that they were based upon assumptions of power outside of the Oonstitution, that is, upon nothing bnt bold, daring usurpation. One of the most unfortunate things that can befa'l any people, in our judg ment, is, for their rights and liberties to be in the bands of " trusted custodians,” who will not only oonnive at usurpations upon them, bnt w-'l even give these usurpations their approval and sanction. This is the hue "origin—the mean ing—the purpose—and philosophy of wbat some have styled the New Depart ure. ” The end is the Greeley move ment, and it is, from beginning to end, brim full of something very different from what we oonsider “patriotism." But we have not spaoe for fn~ther no- tioe of the positions or statements cf this speech to-day. Aooording to Mr. Hill’s announce ment, what has oaused alarm in this ooantry, even in the Repablioan ranks, is tho continued series of usurpations on the part of the Ruling Dynasty at Waahiugtou, beginning with the subver sion of the Government of ten States of the Union—progressing with the imposi tion of amendment! to tho Oonstitution by foroe—and ending with what is known as tha Election Bill. Are not these, therefore—all of them, or at least the principles upon whioh they rest—the proper living issues in the present can vass ? Should they not be made so, by all who see and feel that there is danger —imminent danger—in the tendency of affairs? We think so; and we leave all to judge how far Mr. Hill has nude out a hopeful prospect of onr escape from these dangers by supporting Mr. Greeley, who has been one of the chief acton in all theeo out rages upon popular rights, and constitu tional law, from the lint down to the last—even to. tbe Ku-KInx, Hsbses Corpus suspension and Eleotion acts ? There is not one of the enormities whioh Mr. Hill so juitly portrayed in the opening part of hie epaeoh, which Mr. Graeley did not nrga and emotion, and whioh he doee not now approve r If be, therefore, ie the only “star of bopo” for the "new Bethlehem" of Con stitutional Government in this country, God alone, in His infinite wisdom, aud mercy, knows what is to beoutno of ue In the depths of that ruin to which wa ue plunging I A.

Those who it it claimed diJu't hull, polled 114 rotea, aud thus* whom Urn (\instiluituH calls hollars polled WM, Neighbor, here you yet hoard bill of a majority bolting f Tbe Constitution of Sanday morning has a leading editorial on tbe Greet Suc cessful Patriotic Mass Convention of the Democratic Party of Fulton county, a few points in whioh we propose to notice. It eeye: “Not a Democrat participated in the meeting or took part in the balloting except the dlaaatlHhed." That's so. They were, every man of them, dissatisfied with tbe reprehensible conduct of those who took control of the meeting of the 16th instant, and with tbe aetion of the Chairman on that day. In this they have shown themselves to be True Democrats; for no one who favors fair and honorable condnot and who de sires the success of Trae Democratic principles, could be satisfied with tbe action of that meeting. They were "die- satisfied,” and had good reason to be so. The populur vindioatiou of their ex pressed dissatisfaction is gratifying. We rather thiDk tbe Constitution looks upon thoee grapes as being slightly sour. *• Tho whole affair waa a ono-aided au unauthorized concern, representing only onephaee of opinion and a portion of the party." Suppose we admit the allegation of onesidedness and that it was only a por tion of the party. We ask which is the strongest and most trnly Democratic side, and portion; the Constitution's favorite “side” represented by 114, or tbe Great Masses of tbe Party represented by 809? " That it waa a minority and a very couaiderab:< minority ia undoubted." Of course tho 809 was a minority and the 114 was a majority. Who doubts it ? The allegation that it was "unauthoriz ed,” is one of the most unfounded and unjust that has been uttered by the Con stUution in this discussion. The meeting of Saturday last had the very highest possible authority, and has the highest sanction of regularity and legality that any political meeting possibly can have. This plea of a want of legality, and being unauthorized, is the weakest, shallowest, most inconsistent, and undemocratic of all; and we are, and have been, all the while, greatly astonished at its being publioly urged by a professed Demoorst- io journal. The meeting of the 16th was regularly called by the constituted authorities of the Party organization; but the Chair man of that meeting, who is also the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the county, did not discharge bis duty—did not preside fairly—did not give the majority of the meeting a fair chance. Their rights were trampled upon end outraged through the misfea sance of T, W. J. Hill. Tbe True De mocracy who were thus outraged were resolved to have their wrongs redressed. For this, they first appealed to tbe Com mittee, whieh had tbe power asked for; bnt that Committee not only refnsed the redress, bnt refused to hear a delegation of true and tried Democrats stale their grievances—thus contemptuously adding insult to injury, Ouly one more remedy remained. It ia one that is always at hand, is all-pow erful, and the right of whioh is unques tioned by any except the Constitution in this ease, and tbe Centralist!, who are aiming to subvert the principles of jthis Government, aud deprive the peoploof their Liberty. It is the sacred right of thc^peoplo to muusga things as they please, aud to have their will carried out —notwithstanding the objection of those who may sit in places where they ima gine themselvos elothod with a little brief authority. The people in their majesty, have ex ercised their inalienable right to redress their grievances, after having exhausted every other means; and he who denies the perfeet authority, regularity aud le gality of this proceeding, as being the very highest, is not a good Demoorat. No trae descendant of the sona of ’76, can urge snob a plea aa this. It ie the highest court, whose dooisiou is not only final, but when fairly expressed is infal lible. This high oourt wrs appealed to, os a last resort, after every other means Of redress bad boon exhausted. It bi v sustaiued those making the appeal. It is overwhelmingly against the Constitu tion, and against those who have made a strong and determined effort to debauch the Democratic Party of Fulton county. Unauthorised l Come neighbor; if yon intend to remain a Democrat, you must oease to advocate such undemocratic dootrines. The Democratic Party o( Fulton county constitute a higher authority than Thos. W. J. Hill and the twelve members of his Committee, who have disregarded their wishes and deuied to them their rights. Those twelve mombers, and tbe Chairman, have violated the high trust confided to them, and are no more worthy to oocupy their plaoea. They have been signally rebuked by tbe great mass ol the party, and ought forthwith to resign. They ought to have rei igned the mo ment they refused to accede to the written request of nearly one thousand Demoerate in the county, and to hear a delegation who desired to lay before the Committee, the wishes of a very Urge majority of the Democratic Party, For this Committee to refuse to re dress the wrongs of the humblest Demo crat in the oouuty, or for it to sustain any one in the infl'otionof a wrong upon a tingle member of the Party—let alone so greet a wrong upon the whole Party— it deeei vrv, not only rebuke end con demnation, but impcaobmant and dis placement from poeiUon. Tbia la not the k<nd of eei floe they were eeleoted to perfoiin. The Constitution says: The Brel ilelefttee repreaeel Ike party. Ue eeeuad s portion of the party- The tret were alerted by euihoriiy, the eeroud •lUiuui ear nlkonty what ever. According to this, 114 men who voted e Qreeloyitc Ueket ere ihs Democratic Party of Fulton eoantji and 800 Trae Democrats are only a portion of Uie Par ly.

Is ilseUred to he under authority, but the ■eUelloN of Into, bled, sound sad un questioned Democrats by 809 of the asms wins, under tbe sanction of the highest authority, exercised in its most solemn form, peaceably and orderly, is declared to be without any authority what ever. This is in strict keeping with the doc trines end teachings ol the Centralists— the authors of all our present woes and the enemies of Liberty—the conspirators agaiust the Democratic Party—the New Departurists—the Greeleyites—the any- things to beat Grant, whose teachings tend only to the certain securing of bis election. Perhaps onr neighbor will ob ject to being dossed in this category.— We don’t place him there, we only say hia doctrines end teachings are in the same line. Neighbor, come book to the old and true paths before you go too far. A few steps farther may land you in the camp of the enemy from which toere will be no return. But we have not space to review all the errors end incongruities of onr neighbor. He claims to have stood np boldly—aye very boldly—for the right and for party nnity. Save the mark! Hit standing up for tho right to plead, urge and con tend that the True Democracy of Fulton county shall be represented in the State Convention by men whom they have not chosen and with whose politioal opinions they do not agree—nay by men who are not Democrats and who make that broad avowal ? Is this boldly standing up for the right ? Is it bold'.y standing np for party nnity, to place tbe Party in a false position before the world, and urge it quietly to occupy that position ? Neighbor, isn't that obeeky ? "There Ie bat oae mournful feature connected with the decleiou of the State Convention. If it thould happen to bo egelnet our worthr bolting friende, how in the world the? are going to keep up the luxury of bolliug we cannot see." This characterizing the Democratic Party, in the legal exercise of its power, as a set of bolters, is very thoughtless and very inoorrect, as we have shown in another article. But if tho Convention shall exclude the legally and regularly chosen dele gates of the Party and admit the nnsonnd bogus delegation of a turbulent faction, who are not trae Democrats, and who wrre irregularly chosen, it will be a bold, reckless usurpation, wholly unworthy ol a Democratic Convention of tbe State of Georgia. They can do aa they please about this. But the *‘luxury’’ whieh the Democra cy of Fulton county now enjoy; whieh in a more eminent degree than any other piece in the whole South since tbe war, they have eujoyed; and whioh they will continna to enjoy, is, that they have cir dicated their honor; have soorned tbe blandishments and allurements of the treacherous and the smiling foes who have endeavored t j debauch them, Tbe Banner of the Party is still held aloft in its parity, unstained. This is their luxury, and the rejection of the Dole- egstes chosen by tho True Democracy, cannot deprive them of this glorior. “luxury.” They propose to enjoy it for ever. -tea The Constitute,! Authority. It is pleaded by some that the Execu tive Committee of the Democratic Purty of Fulton county is the Party's author ized exponent, and that whatever is done without their sanction is unauthorized aud therefore cannot be respected. But suppose that Committee violates the law and the Constitution of the Party—transcends its authority, disre gards the will of the Party, refuses to redress or even hear the grievances of a large majority, or even ol a single member or suppose that Committee sustain its Chairman in an attempt to fasten a fraud and an outrage upon the True Democracy of the country ; shall we submit ? Is there no redress in snoh a case ? This plea that the aotion of the true Democracy ol Fulton, is outside of au thority, is tbe same old Tory doctrine that the “King can do no wrong." It is the very essence of the doctrine of the Centralists of this day, who are trying to debauch the Demoeratio Party, as the first step towards centralizing the Gov ernment, and potting an end to Liberty and everybody wbo urges this plea in this case, is contributing his influence to the 8uceess of Centralism and the es tablishment of a Despotism.

But when no chance was given them to exercise their rights peaceably, they had to take one of three alternatives; either tamely to submit like cravenbeart- ed creatures, destitute of true manhood, or enforce their rights by a physical contest and by physically overpowering the disturbers and disorgonizers, or pur sue the course they did.

Til* Treaty Correspondence—It* Put port Washington, June 23.—The Depart ment of State bos furnished, for publi cation, the correspondence in relation to the Treaty of Washington; but, as the amended article has beeu rendered of no effect; by the recent decision of tbe Ge neva Tribunal, ruling out the claims for indirect damages, tbe documeuts now possesses no particular interest, except as a record of diplomatic proceedings, showing the anxiety of each Govern ment to preserve its own status in the premises. It mav be said, however, concerning the article, os amended by the Senate, that the British Government could not clearly understand it. In their opinion it was vague, and, if it should be nego tiated, in the form of a treaty, au addi tional trenfy would have to be made, hereafter, to determine what it meaut. Our Government was not disposed to alter the amended article, considering that Great Britain hesitated at the mere phrasoology, aud that her objectiou was more technical than real. During the correspondence, Secretary Fish said Great Britain acted as if her dictation were to rule the proceedings. Our Government did not object to Great Britain moving an adjournment of the Geneva Tribunal, but insisted that she first put in her argument, us demanded by the treaty. The correspondence is elaborate on this point, and has been brought to a close by the decision of the Tribunal ruling out the claims for indirect daina ges. The object of Gfeat Britain, in desir ing an adjournment, was, in the recess, to further negotiate upon the aforesaid article. The correspondence ends in a genial way, Mr. Fish expressing the hope, on the 14th instant, that Great Britain will now proceed with the business at Gene va, in u.cordance with the spirit of the Treaty.
