OHCH DEMOCRACY.
ri»e folUteing if the platform of prin
ciple! laid 4ovn bj the Georgia Demoo
racy in 1870, «Membie<i in State Convcn
tion, ami reiterated on the 26‘.h day of
June lait year by « eimllar Convention:
BmoIvkI, -flat the L(mocn!lc„r»rtT of Oeorelf
•land upon tha principles of Uie Democratic Party
o! the Union, bringing out intof special prominence,
ai applicable to the present extraordinary condition
of tbe country, the unchangeable doctrine that
tbla la a union of States, and of their right*,
and of theli'eqnality with each other is an Indispen*
•able part of onr political system.
Resolved, That In the approaching election tbe
Democratic party Invites everybody to co-opar*t*
with them In a Melons determination to change
the prceent usurping and coirnpt admtnlatratlon,
by placing in power men who are true to the prin
ciples of Constitutional Government, and to a faith
fnl and economical administration of public affair*.
Upon this platform the Democracy of
Georgia, in 1870, defeated tbe Radical
party and placed tbe Government of tbe
State in the bands of the intelligent and
tnx paying people. In 1872, Gov. Smith
and tbe members of llio present Hense
of llepreaentatlVM, and half the Senate,
were elected upon this same platform of
pare Democracy. Upon it they stand
to-day. Upon It thoy most vote to-day,
if tncy are true to their eolemnly de
clared principles—principlea affirmed and
re-affirmed by two separate and foil
State Conventions, and they aro tbo last
autboiitative expressions of the Demo
erscy of the State.
This platform was penned at "Liberty
Hall," Hon. A. H. Stephens dictating
the phraseologT of the resolutions, while
they wore pat to paper by Dr. Casey, of
Columbia county. Thoy were then
bronght to Atlanta; and on tho 8th ol
August, 1870, at 0 o'clock, r. u„ in a
room in tho Nntioual Hotel in a ounces of
aeventeen or eighteen good and true
Demounts, tbo writer being ono of them,
Hon. Linton Stephens presented tho
platform abovo published, and just os it
is published for consideration. Tho reso
lutions were unanimously adopted in
oanens, and on the following day were
unanimously adopted by tbe State Demo
cratio Convention of Georgia.
Not only did Ur. Stephens occupy lha
abovo platform during the last State
oanvass, disagreeing os ho did, with tho
main bolk of the party in regard to tbe
Fresideniitl contest, bat bo advocated
and assiduously worked for tho unity
anil harmony of the ratty oa all State
questions. \V1jo wns moro ardent in
his support of Gov Smith, the Dcmo-
oratio candidates for Congress ali<\_mem
bers of lUo General Aaacmbl; thnn Ur.
Stephous ? Who plcud moro earnestly
for lias harmony tliuu hs did ? None l
He Dot in accord with the Democracy !
Was there ever audacity more presump
tuous in the asset lion ul a falsehood,
Now *dios< gcniieu,ou who charge Mr.
Stephens witli ,,oi hrios‘n accord with
the Democrauyof 11 1 , will, we hope,
have no more to sny on iL.l soore. We
give this lot l1 history for the infor
mation of those who do not know it; and
close by stating that Ur. Stephens has
not got off the G corgi* Democratic plat-
t irtu to get upon any other to this day.
MB. stepuexx' STMMCU.
Tho gnat speech Ur. Stephens deliv
ered Saturday night, having been revised
by himself, will be published in Tna Sow
o( to-morrow. It will be an intcreating
document in the history of the Strte.
SW* Will Georgians refuse to send
Ur. Step he as to tho Souate merely be
cause Mortou and doubling aro afraid of
him?
The Democ-atlc members of tho
Legislature cannot be afraid to trnst the
man who ii the author of tho platform
upon whioh they were elected to their
JMF* Georgians eau place reliance in
tho man whoso discernment of men
diaws into rrqniaition tbe services of
such worthy workers os Gordon and
Wofford.
l*‘ Gen. Gordon mada a brave
soldier and was a gallant defender of
the “Gray." Erory victory ho won was
a tribnte'to the ggood judgment of Mr.
SiephcDS, who insisted upon the issu
ance of that “Colonel's commission.”
SW* The length of Ur. Stepheus'
speeoh, whioh we publish this morning,
debars the publication of several com
munications, from different sections,
favoring Ur. Stephens’ election. We
regret that ,w« cannot produoe them this
morning, and hope the writereof them
will scoapt this statement as an apology
for their non-appearance.
Mr In the oisolion for Senator to-day
everjr member anould bear in mind that
they aAr standing upon the Georgia plat
form of pare Democracy, and not npon
the Cincinnati acaffold. They were
elected upon the Georgia platform, and
they will be incousiatent to vote for any
man for Senator, who doea not repreaent
the Georgia, instead of the Cincinnati
platform.
*W"Let no one say, after this, that
Ur. Stephens is nnable, physically, to
repreaent Georgia in the United i*an-«
Senate. The night was cold—bitter cold
—the coldest of this winter—still Mr.
Stephans filled his engagement, and
•poka for two hours sod fiftaen minutes,
aud was no more exhausted at its close
than were the physically strong candi
dates who had spoken the two preceding
nights at the cloaa oi their speeches,
though he spoke longer than either one
THE CONTEST TOD A T.
The members of tho Legislature to-day
sre called upon toperljim a serious duty
and to assume a heavy responsibility in
the aelection of a United Htatm Senator.
We belieTO the members have not been
particularly influenced by personal con
siderations in reeking np thoir minds as
to which one of the gentlemen named
for tho position they will vote for. They
soo in the capacities and claims of each
much to acknowledge. There is no dis
position, we believe, to make the nontext
one of personal wrangling, and hence we
do not hear words of disparagement on
the part of any in regard to the true
merits of cither candiduto,
Tbioughout this contest, Tun Sun has
taken no endue advantage of any of the
candidates for Senatorial honors. It has
been prompt iu acknowledging tho merits
of all; and whatever has been published
in its columns, either editorially or from
correspondents, favorable to tho election
of the Hon. A. H, Stephens, its honored
editcr-tn-chief, has boon done without
his knowledge—the associate editors as
suming all *ho responsibility of doing so.
It is bat natural that wo should desire
his election on porsonal grounds; but,
then, we plsco his claims upon far higher
grounds than that of personal friendship
sad admiration.
We place his claims upon his merits as
a statesman, a scholar, a political pbilo
sopher and a true and unflinching Demo
crat—ono whose record no man can sue
cessfully attack. Wo advocato his elec
tion because wo believe bis influence for
good in Congress for tho South would bo
greater than that of any othur man's in
tho State. His long experience, his great
famo as a statesman, and his profound
knowledge of tho principlea of tinman
government, espci tally his thorough
knowledge of the crigin, tho progress,
and tho principles of our own form of
Government, make him eminently the
most influential man iu Congress we
could elect. All of these qualifications,
which havo rnado his namo familiar
throughout tho civilized world, wonld at
onoe givo him an influeuco in CoDgrcss,
another inexperienced man of equal men
tal capacity, could not gain in two yours.
Wo boliovo Mr. Stephens is entitled to
be made Senator for the leasou that he
has been twice elected to that position
since the war, ami denied his seat, first,
beoauso no Sonthera Stato was allowed
arepresentativoin Congress;and, second
ly, hecunso ho was disqualified by the re
construction laws. Iu this, the choice
of the people of Georgia was spurned.
Mr. Stephens did all he could for liis
Stato without avail, at bis own personal
expense. Now that Georgia is doing
jnstioe to others who wore ejected from
uffieo by the Federal authority, is it not
a good timo to place Ur. Stephens in e
position once denied him, but which
cannot now bo denied him by tho same
power 7
This much, the associate editors of
Tue Sum deem it not inappropriate to say
on a subject that becomes rather delicate
from the tact that Ur. Stephens is the
chief editor of this journal. In saying
this much, wo havo not disparaged tho
tnie merits of others.

Ulitor Sun: In this section everybody

of charaoler as a statesman, and withal
the truth he would, if elected, have no
superior iu tho Beets and bat few if
even an equal, show tnat, uside from
personal preform-nt arising from gal
lantry shown on the battle-fiold or other

represent tho Sonth successfully at this
particular and peculiar juncture by
fighting radicalism in any guise and
from any source, by advocating a thor
ough administration of tho affairs of tbe
Government on Constitutional and Jef
fersonian principles. The best service
his opponents could do to their coun
try in this connection would be to de
cline in his favor. The people want
(Stephens Senator, and if the election was
by a direct vote from them bis election
would be almost uusuimous. Tbe duty,
therefore, of every representative who
desires to oarry ost too wishes of his
constituency is plain. Representatives,
discharge that dnty. Let the clarion
voice of the great and good man be

Editors Sun:—Tho question of the
Senatorial election is ngitnting this sec
tion. I was through hero a short time
since, when v*;ry littlo seemed to be
thought or said npon this quostion. But
now the sentiment of tho people
is exorcised and it is almost universally
in favor of tho election of lion. Alexan
der H. Stephens. lie is acknowledged
as tho ablest representative the Bouth
had in tho National conucils beforo tho
war; ho was rejected to Congress, since
tho war, and tho people do not believe
that we can make anything just at this
time by “swapping horses.” If he is
physically able wo say send him to the

TI1E SENATORIAL ELECTIOX.
Editors Sun: It has been truly said by
one of Scotland's greatest writers that no
pot ever 1-oiled unless the senm came to
the top. This facthas forcibly illustrated
itso 1 iu tho Southern States since onr
lato revolution in arms. And nowhere
in the annals of history has its applica
tion been more apparent or general than
iu the Sonth since April, 1865. Sinoo
that timo we have been moving slowly to
wards a restoration in the National Gov
irnment. Notwithstanding we have snf
fered for nearly eight years all the wrongs
and woes Furitanical Legislation could
luvent, the interests and results involv
ed iu the election of United States Sena
tor assume a magnitude hitherto un
known iu Georgia politics. The Gener
al Assembly ol this State have a grave
responsibility to discharge; they should
weigh this matter deeply before noting
upon it; upon their notion deponds our
future. They must say whether we sre
to havo a dark night, gloom and howling
without, or a d.y of vorual, genial san-
shino. Our State is excited in this con
test; lot wisdom he the churaoteristio of
their ehoioe.
The Legislature should take as their
guido the motto of our State, whose Con
-dilution they aro sworu to support. We
havo much for our Senator to do and
much will wo expect of him. In this
emergency wo should seleot a giest
t-tatesmau nud a true man, it we have
-•uch au one. Iu tho Uou. A. H. Ste
phens wo havo tho man for the place,
lie is hotter fitted for the position than
auy man Georgia can sond iu there
latter days.ed ehsmo aud degeneracy; and
our history for a few years past shows
we a-bould now seize upon the opportu
uity offered ns to change after sneh
dear experience. Sober judgment and
clear reasoning should take the plsco of
Haste and personal pride rcgnrdlesa of
results, for we have do other criterion by
which we can judge of the future, save
tho birtory of the past, and this has
been banded down to us by the earlier
historians of the Roman Empire. Cor
ruption and iguorance have reigned su
p.emo iu places of high public trust.
Let us mako a general endeavor to put
uu eud to this, aud others seuiag our ex
ample will be constrained to follow in
our foot-prints. Who onn wo elect
to fill this state of affairs ?
I reply that we havo hut one man, that is
no alternative. In the election of Hon,
A. H. Stephous our Legislature will ex
mbit the highest type of patriotism, cour
age and devotion to prlnoiple. Skilled
in parliamentary nsagu, with an expert
euce of muuy years, where he spont the
prime of his life, in tho palmiest days
of the Republic he showed himself to be
the equal ou all occasions, to the great
est men America ever collected iu her
Natioual Councils. Ho has stood a most
severe test and found not wanting,
from tho time he appeared npon tno
stage of pnbliolife to the;present. He
has never ceased to servo hie country.
For many reasons he is tho safest muu
in the field. Tlu-ro is not ons possible
objection to him. He has as bright a
record as ony public man in tho htate,
and no one has been more consistent than
he, through the vicissitudes of uoarly forty
years of publio life. If any man has
reached the summit of human glory aud
excellence that msu surely is A. □.
Stephens. As Cicero denounced on-Lex
posed in tho Roman Senate Cataline and
his conspirators, so will ho expose the
Radical party which has conspired
against, and is .sinking with its deadly
weapon at the very base of our Govern
ment.
In this contest we should fully realize,
that public liberty is ou its last trial; if
we fail all hope will go down in darkness.
We may make many motions but all will
he overruled.
In oonclusion, I wonld say, if I have
keen too excited ot entkusiastio on this
subject, I wish others wen like myself,
for I was brougnt np in the Stephens’
school of politics, and these principles
were instilled into my youthful heart,
never to be eradicated. Those princi
ples have existed for oecturiee, and an
he only infallible rights that keep per
petual watch around the dome of
constitutional liberty. Ur. Biepheaa
is the ableat and truest champion
of those principles within onr borders.
Under hia lead and advice, it can be truly
said of tbia noble old commonwealth of
Georgia:

for decay of the vital powers, whether natural
oaanal, is Hostetler's Stomach Bittora. If the fal
