THE DAILY SUN. Saturday Morning July 8 quires this shuffling to support is is rotten to the core, and to say it should never be overruled is worse than Spirit of the City Press. Mr. Stephens in his organ of this ! r * From the Columbus Sun, 28th June. Mow 1 See It, Mow I Dont. *• Oh! what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive.” Demoralized as the country may be by Radicalism, there is still among the masses of our people a great deal of respect and appreciation for hon est* open conduct and plain speech. After the lapse of three thousand years the language of the great Gre cian warrior, Archilles— H« who thichs one thing and another tell, My soul detests him as the gates of hell, is echoed "by every candid and thoughtful soul. That there is some double dealing going on among the leaders of Democracy at this time, and not to put too sharp a point on it, that a lie is out somewhere, we now propose to show. Only a month or two ago the Dem ocratic party was a unit in opposition to the usurpations of Congress from Maine to Texas. The reconstruction measures were boldly denounced as having been enacted “ outside of the Constitution ” and consequently ille gal, null and void. No one was insane enough to propose resistance by arms even to the Ku-Klux Act, which de stroyed trial by jury, suspended the writ of TTabeas Corpus, and gave the President the power of a Czar or Sul tan. The scales were everywhere falling from the eyes of the intelli gent and honest masses, and the voice of reason and patriotism was digging the grave and sounding the death knell of Radicalism from the Lakes to the Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Grant was pronounced a miserable failure, and the peaceful citizen looked hopeful to the future for the restoration of law and order and the overthrow of ignorance and corruption. In the midst of this apparent hurry, the voice of discord comes, small at first, but soon to swell with the fury of a hurricane. It adds to the treble of hypocrisy the low bass of silly de nunciation and malicious abuse of those who they lately confessed were the true defenders of constitutional liberty and the haters of tyrants. It first selects three individuals, against whom prejudices may exist at the N orth, as the victims of their slander. The head and front ol their offend ing is nothing more than an expres sion of that opinion which every De mocratic Press or Orator had uttered a thousand times before with com mendation. The wrath which has been nursed against Radicalism now bursts out against the whole of their late professed friends. Hear the Courier-Journalof the 24th: There are only one or two journals left in the South, of any degree of re spectability, that assail what they call “the new departure.” The truth is that there is no “new departure.’ No one seeks to win power by adopting the Republican doctrine. Those who impeed the progress we are making by the dem agogical cry of “ surrender of prin ciple,” when there is no surrender, are onr worst and most insidious en emies. Each one is a Thersites in our camp; and, if necessary to save us from defeat in 1872, they should be sent, scourged and howling from it. The public good is the supreme law. They excite mutiny and slan der and vilify recognized leaders. They clog the wheels of the guns and impede the caissons. We must, in some way, clear ourselves of all such incumbrances. They are vipers that fasten upon tne healthy body. We must shake them off. It is idle to parley with them. They are as deaf to reason as an adder. Yon cannot argue away convulsions produced by poison. Remove the cause or the malady will produce death. It is time to be severe with foes in and out of onr ranks. Here, in a nutshell, is a mixture of the falsehood and Radical venom, against which we have warred and shall continue to war, let it be pre sented by Ben. Butler or the Louis ville Courier-Journal. Can such an editor read Southern exchanges ? If he does, he lies—under a great mis take. Can he hope to make enough Radical friends to warrant him crime, it is a hypocritical blunder that • £”£“5^*5 an can expect no reward for its transpa- teentk ^ Fiftieth toaStaSL.”'Be rent treachery but a snnle of con- says : tempt.

Hill in the Confederate Senate Chamber. m calling his late political associates “vipers to he shaken off,” &c. We can tell the Courier-Journal that mean ness and proscription, hacked by power, may be feared, but when coupled with impotency, they are too low even for contempt. But says' the Courier-Journal “there is no ‘new departure.’ ” This is a poor afterthought to bolster up what you have again and again af firmed and recognized. If no “new departure,” why now denounce those with whom you were lately in accord as your “worst and most insidious en emies ?” Why now admit what you so stoutly denied, that with brave pa triots a situation of fraud and force never can be hut hypocritically accep ted ! Why accept the 14tli and 15th amendments and reject the Ku-Klux Act ? Are they not eggs laid in the same cockatrice nest ? If the one is de facto, so is the other. If Congress can impower. the President to destroy whole States and force governments on an unwilling people by bayonets, why should it stop at the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus and not go on a step further and exclaim “Hail, great Caesar ?” Can a man or a party, that confesses these wrongs, corruptions and usurpations in one breath say “I accept!” and in the next —“I cannot denounce!” them, but I can denounce those who say they are null and void ? A case which re- Among the many events of personal interest that transpired in the Scath dur ing the late war, but few are of more dra matic character or aroused a deeper in- est among our people than the unfortu nate personal difficulty which took place in the Confederate States Senate at Rich mond, during its secret session, between Mr. Wm. L. Yancey, of Alabama, and Mr, Ben. H. Hill, of Georgia. Several dif ferent and conflicting versions of this af fair have been given through the South ern press, hut none has yet been pub lished that accords with a statement we recently derived from a gentleman who was at the time a Senator, and an eye witness to all that transpired on the occa sion. , * The difficulty had its origin in the heated political contests so common in this country prior to the breaking out of the war. It was when Yancey, with his dazzling eloquence, was “fixing the South ern heart,” that a barbecue, attended by thousands, was given in one of the South ern counties of Georgia. It was here that Hill and Yancey met—the one the bold and eloquent defender of the Un ion, and the other the boasted champion of secession; and during the debate which ensued words were uttered which caused an estrangement which was never afterwards reconciled. The two men met again in the Confed erate Senate, both doubtless smarting under the recollection of past conflicts, and entertaining no kindly feeling for each other. It was when the cause of the South was drooping, and every patriot heart was heavy with despondency and gloom, that Mr. Yancey, rising in his place in the Senate, declared that the war. could no longer be carried on with any hope of success, unless many of the Constitutional restraints and embarrass ments were thrown aside; and boldly ad vocated a radical change in the Govern ment to meet the demands of the public and the exigencies of the hour. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Yancey’s remarks, Mr. Hill promptly arose to re ply. The scene was one of most intense excitement. He deprecated the opinion advocated by Mr. Yancey, and proceeded with great severity, to review his past political career, rnnning back to the be ginning of the times when our sectional troubles were first being agitated. He said Mr. Yancey, not satisfied with hav ing warred upon and disrupted the old Union, was now crying out against and endeavoring to subvert and break down the Confederate Government. When Mr. Hill concluded, the excitement alrea dy at white heat was increased beyond anything ever before witnessed daring those troublesomo times. Mr. Yancey arose, and in a calm, dignified and self- poised manner peculiarly bis own, com menced his reply, He described Hr. Hill as repeating danders that had been uttered against him for the past twenty years; and that all which Mr. Hill had uttered had been said innumerable times before by every third-rate politician in the country; and continued by saying “ nature had designed the Senator from Georgia as an imitator; that he had been cast in a certain die, and it was vain to attempt to enlarge his dimensions.” Pallid with .rage, Mr. Hill mounted to his feet, and seizing a heavy glass ink stand, hurled it with all his might and power at the head of Mr. Yancey, which grazing his forehead, plowed its way to the skull and passed #n in its furious course, crushing a heavy window-facing beyond. Without turning his head, Mr. Yancey, who was at the time addressing the Speaker, continuing his speech, de liberately remarked, “It is always the prerogative of cowards to strike from the rear.” Enraged still more at this re mark, Mr. Hill, gathering a chair, rushed upon his antagonist, who, heedless of the attack, was continuing his remarks as calmly as if nothing had happened, when a number of Senators interposing, the difficulty was ended. Mr. Yancey’s wound bled most' profusely, and a scene of the utmost confusion prevailed. It has several times been stated since Mr. Yancey’s death, that it resulted from injuries received in this rencontre, but snch is not the fact, os he died from a disease that conld in no way have been superinduced by this cause. We give our readers the foregoing article, as we see it in several of our exchanges; but in doing so we feel con strained to state, that we have good reasons for saying that the account therein given of any personal rencoun ter that may have occurred between the parties referred to, in the Confed erate States Senate, is not correct. It but is a caricature representation of the facts, so far as relates to the con duct of both of the distinguished Sen ators. Mr. Yancey is not in life to speak for himself. Whether Mr. Hill feels at liberty to speak upon the subject at all, or not, we do not know. But in behalf of both, we feel it-a duty to say what we have said in relation to the article, as it is now going the rounds of the Press, and is calculated to produce very erroneous impres sions. A. H. S. Constitution or not, is not the question we now propose- to discuss. That they were carried by ‘fraud, perfidy and vio lence,’ all admit. v.. ^ “Now, whether validity can, in this way, be imparted to any private, judicial or legislative act, might very well Seem to be a superfluous question. • But what we have to say, at tins time, is, that no people, who are true to their rights, will ever, voluntarily, give their sanction, ip. advance, to the validity of such outrages upon the rights of: the people and of the States as those by which these amend ments were openly and avowedly com mitted.” In that case, we earnestly ask Mr. Ste- phens^to define the course to be pursued, wilt rein the people of the South can suc cessfully or validly resist the force - that iias imposed these amendments upon them by “fraud, perfidy and violence.” If not by proseut submission, and final repudiation at the ballot box, what else can he mean more than Revolution;? Of that we have had enough; of the bal lot box, too little. Let us be wise.—Dr. Bard’s Organ, 7th July.- • r : 0 j «£ The difference between Dr. Bard and the true Democracy is, that; we are for the repudiation of all sanction of these iniquitous measure's—-not'by revolution, hut ..by popular condem nation at the ballot-box, while heand those of his ilk are for accepting them as “'finalities” and endorsing them as valid parts of the Constitution, never hereafter to he questioned at the bal lot-box, or elsewhere; and this, too, even before the question of their va lidity has been properly decided. A.H.S. ————" ■ : 4 ' Among the most promiient Democratic papers that have not yet accepted the Dayton platform with entire satisfaction we notice the Cincinnati -Enqui rer, Louisville Ledger, Pomeroy’s Democrat, New YorkDay Book and Terre Hante Journal. -TheI w len reluctance with which these papers “move up” suggests an expedient which we have seen effectual ly employed in the army with straggling soldiers on the march—a bayonet puncture four or five inches below the small of the back.— Vincennes Western Sun. ■ Of course, the nearer you get tp. tie Republican platform the bayonet c6mes in your mind, and you instinctively want to use it as a great moral agent. That is what the Democrats complain of in the policy of sham Republicanism.-— Cincin nati Enquirer. Threats of bayonet punctures, four or five inches below tne small of the back,” or all oyer the body ten inches long, will never drive tne old Democratic party into the “net” set by Vallandigham, for the benefit of the Radical party. The bayonet has already been used against the will’of the people in forcing measures which are a disgrace to the American citi zens, and which we are sorry to see, somo Democrats willing to accept as their platform to walk into power on. For our part, we had rather be honest and live in the minority all the days of our life, than to accept a fraud even it were thought by so doing it would place us in the majority. Pow er gained by such means would be of short duration.—Rockport,' (Ind.), Democrat, June 10. J ' From the Mobile Register, 29th June. Political. Radical journals have circulated a state ment, doubtless, fabricated for effect, that Hon. Jeremiah S. Black was opposed to the platform recently adopted by. the Democratic Convention at Harrisburg, or rather to the ninth resolution concerning the amendments to the Constitution.— The Pittsburg Post contradicts the story in very explicit terms, and add? “He was in Harrisburg during thye. sitting of the Convention, being engaged in the Supreme Court, then in session, and gave his opinion in writing, expressing in the boldest terms the blinding obligation of the several amendments to the Constitu tion.” ... The binding obligation,” yes, to this extent, that nobody proposes to take arms to brush them frorrv the leaves of the Constitution, and there fore everybody proposes to acquiesce in, and submit to, them while' they stand on the pages of the Constitu tion. But is not this a very different thing from “accepting” and with drawing opposition to them as “dead issues?” If the “new departure” had said we are not going, to throw away time and strength in an effort to get rid of these “accomplished frauds” in this election, but as .soon as we are in a position to wipe out the stain that that they are upon the Constitution, we shall make haste to do it, every body would have understood it. But as it is, the “new departure” is' a double blind, or rather so intended to be—first to the Radicals, who are to he made to believe that the Democ racy accepts that much of their plat form, and second, to the Democrats, to whom it says, to he sure, we ad here to the amendments as a binding part of the Constitution, but we are fooling those Rads, and as soon as we get the power we •shall wipe them out. The result is an attempt at double-dealing that does not deceive either party. It lets go the meat and grasps at the shadow on the water.— We must confess, the cunning of this is either too deep or too transparent for us. From the Greensboro (Ga) Herald, July 6th. Principle*, Issues, Departures. These are the words which enter large ly into the political vocabulary of the times. “We fear-their true import is not always well understood, Principles and issues are entirely distinctive, and should never be confounded. A principle is pri mordial, original, fundamental; the busts of action. An issue is merely a question, or sequence, or deduction from clearly de fined and well established premises.— Issues die, pass away with the occasions which brought them into being. They are, in politics and ethics, purely inci dental. Men may “deport'’ from them or bury’them out of their sight, without compunction or regret. But not so with principles. They are as undying as the source which evolves them. Human governments are founded upon principle. Parties; spring up under these govern ments upon issues or questions of mere policy; or sometimes on adverse in terpretations of -fundamental principles Of law, and die with the issues, which brought them into being. Now the orig inal form of, Goveriunent -which came down to us from our patriot fathers, in cluding the Declaration of Independence, (its great text, - ) in the purer and better days of the Republic, the Americau peo ple were in, the habit of; viewing as the inspiration of heaven. As such, it was reverenced, and cherished. The stars and stripes Were everywhere joyously hailed as the insignia of Constitutional lib erty. But alas, a century has not passed away,, before the great Charter of our liberties, torn, mutilated, and interpo lated, is trampled in the dust, aud with its desecration and dishonor, has fled all that enthusiasm which once glowed in every true American: heart. At this present writing; on this day which commemorates the Anniversary of the American Independence, in a large portion of our land, the voice of jubila tion is almost unheard, whilst all over the Republic, the patriotic enthusiasm of other and earlier, and purer days, has. we fear, forever fled. <\And why is this? It certainly cannot be that we have so soon forgotten the glorious deeds and sacrifices of our revo lutionary sires, or cease gratefully to rev erence the illustrious men who periled all to achieve and transmit to posterity a Confederated Republic; but we appre hend it is because, through the flagrant usurpations and depmiures of men in pow er, the people everywhere! see and feel that they no longer live under the gov ernment of “their fathers; one of the great fundamental principles and laws; but un der a despotism of desperate and lawless expedients. And;yet we are called Bour bons, and every attempt of the true Dem ocratic press to bring back the Govern ment to its ancient moorings, where it may be again loved at home and respected abroad, is ridiculed and caricatured by the Radical and semi-Radical journals of the country. On this day, which calls up so many patriotic and sacred memories—as our minds fun over the long list of illustrious names that have shed glory upon the American character and history; as we look over our vast heritage, teeming with an ever-increasing populace, it becomes every Christian to merge party into country, and unitedly labor to render operative those great fundamental prin- ples of Constitutional liberty, which have imparted lustre to the past, aud which can alone give beneficence, and glory to the future. Then, on each recurrence of this political festival, we can all heartily respond to the good old senti ment— ' Love and Melancholy. BY A. H. -WATSON. I.

The announcement of Mr. Stephens’ connection with The Sun, as part owner and political editor, places that already popular paper in the very front rank of Southern journalism. Mr. - Stephens is one of the profoundest thinkers of the times, and has no superior on the contin ent as a political writer. We congratulate our friends Speights and Smith on the valuable and noble ac quisition, and cordially welcome the great expounder and defender of States’ rights and constitutional liberty, to the realms of the Fourth Estate. His advent is an epoch in journalism, and we feel honored by the association. 1 * We once read of a jolly crew of flat- boatmen oh their way to New! Orleans,, who concluded to have a big “drunk” on the journey. At some town .on'the river, the inland tars hitched up at dark, and took a shoot for the nearest dead-, shot liquory. They had their fun aud at midnight they wended' their waving steps back to their scow. All aboard, they made old Mississippi roar: and boil with mud ah imo pedore. They toiled and struggled and the “cossin” could hardly have been equaled, by Greeley or old Ben Wade. They imagined they had neared the city ,by fifty miles, but day light dispelled the visions of their night’s debauch, and they were astonished to find that they had neither cut or lifted anchor and, therefore, had sailed round and round, or, as sailors say, tacked -with the wind in their eye. Like old Peter when he departed on his piscatory excur sion, the merry fellows had toiled ull night and never got a nibble. This adventure of the boatmen is. a prety good illustration of; the advance ment backward so common in the bust ling world. We meet with- these fussy gentlemen on ’Change, in the streets, and in all trades and professions. Hear them talk and one would imagine that they would every day discover at least perpetual motion or the philosopher’s stone, and look ait their eager looks and, walk, and a sober stranger would, sup pose that the world was on fire and they the commissioned Gabriels to sound the alarm. They blow and sweat terribly.— They run to and fro on the track, and then on the backtrack, and just as of ten as any other way they overrun the game. While all eyes are open to see the end of this pother, some more sensible persons observe that the anchor has' not been lifted, and hence all this splutter and much ado about nothing. The latest political discovery and sen sation of the day is what is known as the “new departure.” The friends of this move call all who can’t see in it either policy or principle, “Bourbons,” “Not up with the Age,” “Grass-grown Relics,” “lied Hots,” and other awful anti un christian names. They lay every day a new egg in their mare’s nest aud cackle over it like pullets. With all tueir folly, they are so amicable and accommodating that you cannot despise them. They are willing to commit their interests, words and even their thoughts, to the guardi anship of their Northern friends, and' whatever they do, the new departists are ready in advance to endorse. They are at times, somewhat boastful thac they have lately discovered the Northwest pas sage of politics with the ice and snows of the Arctics, on one side, and the flowers and fruits of the Tropics, on the other. They spread all their canvas to the winds, flash all their oars in the. water, bend themselves and stretch their muscles to their utmost tension and still, like the flat boatman, they wake up in the one morn ing and find that they have moved only in a circle. They have failed to lift the anchor. To show our “new departure” friends the estimation placed upon their efforts by the party whose good, wishes they are so anxious to secure, we make the fol lowing extract from the Missiouri Demo crat of the 27 th : *Iu its effort to achieve a satisfactory departure, the New York World has gonp so far as to say that Jefferson Davis ought to be banged !
