“J hold our Government bound by Us

damental rights, to pass and enforce laics
for the extirpation qf the execrable Ku-
Klux conspiracy; and if it has not He
power to do it, then I say our Government
is no Government, but a sham. I there
fore, on every proper occasion, advocated
and justified the Ku-Klux act. I hold U
especially desirable for the South; and if
it does not prove strong enough to iffecl its

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

Departure movement—which, as our
rtaders know, wee, in onr judgment, no
thing but e scheme devised to prevent the
alarmed Republicans—the beat of their
party—from uniting with the three mil
lion Democrats in bringing popular con
demnation upon the outrages end iniqui
ties by whioh the Constitution had beeu
attempted to be annulled, and have in
corporated in it parte carried by fraud,
perfidy and force.
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

Neighbor, here you yet hoard bill of a

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. Tho election ol e set of avowed
Orealttyllee, some of whom certainly, ire
not even profeme J llemocrale, by 114
Bite, on aa oeaaoioa where Trae Demo
crats wrre uoi allowed au opportunity
peaceably to espiem their prefereuesu. 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.

Who are Belterat
The Constitution calls the True Demo
cracy ol Fulton oouuty, who quietly re
tired from the meeting of the 16th, holt
ers; end this stigma applied to them, ie
equally applicable to all tbe 809, who,by
honeet ballots, sustained them ou Satur
day last, as well as to the two thousand
and over who did not attend tbe meeting
last Saturday, but wbo sustain these so-
called bolters heart aud soul.
Tho truth iB, this charge of bolting
comes with a very bad grace, is very un
just, and is very i-nproperly employed in
this case. The True Democracy were in
a majority at tbe meeting on the 16tb,
but were unable to be heard. The chair
man would not entertain their motions,
and refused to give them a fair showing.
If order had keen preserved by tbe chair
man, and fuirneas accorded to the Trae
Democracy, no one wonld have left tbe
meeting, and no one would hayo ever
oalled for another, no matter wbat the
result might have been.
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. They knew
their strength—they kuetv their Tights;
and preferred to enforce those rights and
exercise their power peaceably aud legit
imately; and they have done so.
They are not bolters / Every step pur
sued by these representative men and
True Democrats has been legitimate and
commendable. They, In tbe interest of
peace, submitted to wrong, iner't and
outrage, on the 16th instant, rather than
resert to brute force and bloodshed. A
more praiseworthy, sublime, h- roic, mo
ral spectacle, bos never been witnessed
in the polities of this co untry.

WASHINGTON.
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.

General Butler was seated on the ros
trum. Judge noar was the first per
son introduced, and lauded the
candidates for their well-earned
distinction in the lines of war and poli
tics. In his allusion to Mr. Bumner the
andience was disposed to hiss; but were
checked by the speaker before his sen
tence was completed. This expression
was only one of regret at tbe course bis
fr aud had taken, and the hope that he
would 800 x rea'ize his false position,
Gen. Butler followed. He said this was
only a continuaton of the campaign begun
the 19th of April, 1861. The old Dimo
erotic party was done gone dead. Gree
ley's success depended upon tbe nomi
nation at Baltimore, which lie would
not obtain, Tbe angel Gabriel could
not be eleoted on such a tieket. The

unbroken. Honest Southern Democrats
were not prepared to support snch a
leader ns presented at Cincinnati. Bum-
nek's speech so disgusted the people that
they insisted npon the nomination of his
colleague for Vioe President The Re
publican party deeerved to die if it could
not bent a party that had experienced
two bolts. He believed victory would
he easy. Ue considered civil ser
vioe reform a humbug, and be
lieved in taming tbe offices inside
out every four yeers and didn't favor an
aristoonwy of office-holders. The Re
publican party, which had worked itself
up honestly from a small beginning, was
not to be killed by a combination of the
weak elaments of a defunct party, with a
few Disgruntled Republicans.
