If so we repel the imputation thus cast upon them These are the men we claim as friends, because we believe them to be true to the Constitution. They con stitute in all a host of not less than three millions! “A man without friends,” yon say!

UlS object IS | friends or allies, any men or party, North or South, Mr. Stephens says >r look npon, as politii itical who are not true to Constitution and the essential editors of the Advertiser go to find as many ? Not certainly in the ranks of the Democratic party. Whether they shall he able to recruit as many from renegade Democrats and strag gling Radicals, together, time must disclose. One thing is certain, if he who recognizes as friends those only, who are true to the Constitution is in fact without friends, as the editors of the Advertiser would seem to maintain, then he is in no worse con dition—“disconsolate”—as he may be, than the country over which he might well weep! Our country is not quite in this condition, yet, we trust. We said farther, that we should never recognise as a political friend or ally any one who shall maintain that the usurpations attending the Reconstruction Acts have all been settled “ in the manner and by the au thority Constitutionally appointed.” Do the editors of the Advertiser join issue with us upon that proposition ? Are they to be understood as holding that the Democratic party throughout the Union, should maintain so perni cious a principle or proclaim so glar ing an untruth! But we have not said that Mr. Val- landigham’s Dayton Resolution on the subject of the new Amendments was “false.” That Resolution simply declared these Amendments to be de facto parts of the organic law, and by no means affirmed that they were de jure or rightfully so. It was the Pennsylvania Harrisburg Convention which declared that they were rightful parts of the Constitution, having be come so “in the manner and by the authority constitutionally appointed! This is the statement which we said contained a great untruth ! Moreover, the Editors of the Ad vertiser need not be reminded by us, we trust, that Mr. YaUandigham’s Dayton Resolution on this subject was not adopted by the Ohio Conven tion either in form or substance. Advb.—It then follows unquestionably thathe{does not “claim or look upon them as political friends and allies.” In other words he does not consider the Democra cy of Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, Ar kansas, Tennessee, Iowa, Maine andWis- consin, who have already in their State Conventions accepted the two Amend ments as accomplished facts and as dead issues, to be his friends and allies, and he is desirous that his readers shall see them with his feelings, not as friends and allies, but as men to be regarded as enemies.— Moreover no one can possess a reasonable doubt that New York and every other Northern and Western State will within a comparatively brief period occupy pre cisely the same position. Nay, more, so far as the South has yet spoken the South ern Democrats and Conservatives dis tinctly reveal their inflexible purpose to co-operate with their democratic friends from other sections on the same pro* gramme. The National Democratic Res olutions are just as openly to be read to day as though they had been unanimous ly affirmed by a Convention in June or July of next year. Sun—You think so, do yon ? Yon indulge the hope, do yon—that the 9th Resolution of the Harrisburg Uonvention will become the Demo cratic “Shiboleth” in 1872? Well, that is just what not less than two a wherefore? Where are the masses of tile Democracy of Pennsylvania who have already rejected and repudiated, not onr views, but the transfer Reso lution of the Harrisburg Convention? Behold them as they now stand npon the “old platform” of their “time- honored principles” and instead of deprecating all discussions npon sub jects pertaining to the Reconstruction Measures as “dead issues,” see them hurling their effective denunciations against “the fraud, perfidy and vio lence* by which these most palpable usurpations were consummated! Be assured, gentlemen, our object is not to produce “confusion or discontent in Georgia or elsewhere,” but to effect union, harmony and victory all along the line under the “old banner,” han ded down from the founders of De mocracy and the builders of the Mag nificent Temple of onr Liberties. Advb.—Whether he wishes to lead a new movement, or whether indirectly to wound those who have rejected his des tructive advice, the result cannot be otherwise than to assist, voluntarily _ or involuntarily, in retaining the Radical Party in its hateful and dangerous su premacy. There are some facts all most see and appreciate. An affectation of blindness wifi not do. An affectation of being able to avoid the logical operation of these facts will not do. One of these facts is that there are and can be but two actually contesting parties for political Administration between this and ! ]|notto defeat the Democratic Party, I p£2 c “ 0 i e n s S was based, we are j but to defeat any party and every par- ■«!*.*» * **** | ty that shall attempt to come into I ^ ^^J^K2££^hi&n°a ; r\r>MTGV An those nrineitllftS or UDOn a worthier, we trust.

Advb.—And it would surely seem -that Mr. Stephens has either entered on the petulant^ puerile, quite irrational project of proposing to convert the Democratic Party to his own peculiar views, rejected by them almost “en masse,” or else that he seeks to do what is perhaps practicable, and for some undefined or unrevealed ob ject, to occasion whatever discontent and confusion lie can make in Georgia elsewhere in the body of the Democratic organization. Sun—“The petulant, puerile, quite irrational project of proposing to con vert the Democratic Party to hia own peculiar views, rejected by them al most fen masse f ” Was there ever more extraordinary scintillation of disturbed imagination ? Who in this instance is trying to convert, or rath er to transfer, whole masses by a sim pie Resolution, without ft why the Presidential election. These two parties are the National Democratic ! Party, and the so-called Republican or Radical party. One or the other must succeed at the election. If the Demo cratic Party does not, the Itadical Party wiU certainly again triumph, and again for four long years the South will he tortured with socialistic Radicalism, and no citizen will be able to feel assured dial his Stale Gov ernment will stand for diirty days at a time. Sun.—There are some facts which ought to be apparent to all. One of these is that there is a party in power seeking to perpetuate its existence, whose chief object is the overthrow of the Constitution, and with it onr entire system of Government, which it was established to secure. This is known as the Radical or Republican Party so-called. Another fact, which all ought to see and know, is that the only way in which these ulterior ob jects can he prevented, is by arousing the true friends of the Constitution everywhere to a proper sense of the danger of the crises, and bringing their combined energies to act in con cert at the polls for a rescue of the Ark of their Covenant from the hands of those now bent upon its desecra tion and destruction. It ought also to be known that this can only be done by a full exposure of the enor mous wrongs and high crimes against Public Liberty which have been com mitted by those who have so shame fessly abused their public trusts. To do this and save the country is the high mission of the Democracy. Advb.—The principles and policy of the Radical party are .veil known whether rep- sented by Greeley or Grant. What matters other little personal differences when they both favor alike the Bayonet elections Act and the Eu-Klux bill. Greeley is as much opposed as Grant is to Mr. Stephen’s tests of Constitutional Orthodoxy to which he would so rigidly subject the Democracy. Whether Gree ley or Grant be President the infamous schedule of social and political Radical ism will be the same m the hands of either Presidential curse. But from what he says Mr. Stephens is just as unfriendly to the Democratic party on the Ohio and Pennsylvania platforms as he is to the Radiffftl party. He is so indifferent, ap parently, between the two sets of ene mies that he is eager, and turns editor for the purpose, to distract the Democ racy if possible for the direct or indirect benefit of the Radical Tyrants. Sun.—Mr. Stephens, it is true, is just as unfriendly to the 9th Resolu tion of the Pennsylvania Harrisburg Platform as he is to that platform set up by the Radical Party through Sena tor Morton at_ Washington city; be cause there is no essential difference between them. As much as Mr. Gree ley may he opposed to Gen. Grant we venture to say that he gives that 9 th Resolution of the Pennsylvania Plat form his hearty endorsement, and re joices at what he may look npon as the prospect of soon seeing the entire Democratic Party as “repentant sin ners” entering the Radical folds. If the Democracy of the Union shall unfurl a banner, bearing this Resolu tion, as the Editors of the Advertiser seem to think they will, then may the Philosopher of the Tribune ex claim as old Simeon did, “now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.” The complete Revolution in the Gov. emment which he has so assiduously labored to effect for thirty years will have been accomplished and approved by the “Nation.” This most lamen table result, we trust, will never en sue ; and, hence, we are by no means an indifferent spectator to these dra matic scenes—hence the active and earnest part we take with no view to “distract the Democracy,” however, hut to awaken them to a full sense Advb.—The Democratic statesmen fbink after the most anxious reflection and deliberation that $01 they can possibly accomplish, under afl the circumstences, at the next election is to save the Con stitution as it stands, and to preserve the Republio itself from destruction.— Mr. Stephens either believes or affects to believe if they will allow him to virile Vie platform, that they not only can save but fully restore the expurgated Constitution as interpreted by Jefferson, and Callmun and in the spirit and meaning of the Res olutions of 1798-99. Because the North- em and Western Democrats diner 'wiin him in respect to this absurd idea, he forms an issue of opposition and assumes by plain inference that “the sole object of the Democracy is the acquisition of the spoils of office.” We will venture to predict, however, that should the Demo cratic party succeed in the next Presiden tial] election on the one hand, or the Radical party on the other, he will be apt to find in the one or the other con tingency that Democratic success would mean something more than the spoils of office. If Mr. Stephens desires to escape un measured odium, let him on a “sober second thought” consent, since they can not follow him, to allow the Pendletons, Thurmans, Hoffmans, Blairs, Hancocks, McClellans, Yallandighams, Blacks,Yoor- hees, Brooks, Woodwards, Adams, Coxes, Becks, Hendricks, Seymours, and tens of thousans like them, the friends of consti tutional liberty, the opponents of usur pation, the bold and strenuous defenders of our people from outrage for years past, though themselves in a minority, and now pledged to accord to us an honorable equality as States of an American Union, to lead in the approaching struggle. Sun—Gentlemen of the Adver tiser, ' give yourselves no concern about Mr. Stephens’reputation or his good name. Odium, whether meas ured or unmeasured, never enters his thoughts when moved, as in this in stance, by a'high sense ofPublic Du ty. Some misguided Democratic par tisans may think that all they can ac complish at the next election, is to save themselves from worse evils than those now upon them, and that even don that one erected for them by Mr. Jefferson, (not by Mr. Calhoun), and npon which they have stood so long. This platform is planted upon the ramparts of the Constitution. Our appeal is,“Never abandon it; never depart from it!” As Themistoeles, when the fate of all Greece depended upon one im pending battle, stood forth and urged that the stronghold of Salamis should not be given up, and abandoned (which the leaders were about to do), so we now, in a crisis of like peril, raise our voice, and urge the Democ racy, on whom the hopes of tire Con tinent and of the world rest, not to give up their impregnable position on the ramparts of the Constitution! In this is their chief strength. This is their Salamis. Themistoeles was thought to be mutinous at the time. He was denounced as a sower of dissensions. The hand of Eury- biades was raised to strike him down as an enemy to the cause—as one giving aid and comfort to the enemy. The calm but f mi reply of the. un daunted Athenian was: “Strike, but hear me.** Fortunately for Greece he was heard. His reasons for not abandon ing the port of Salamis prevailed. This position was not departed from. Here the hosts of Xerxes were beaten, and the Teutonic system of local self-gov ernment was preserved against the most formible effort to overthrow it, and to establish in its stead that of the Asiatic type, which was general consolidation and centralism. Tliemistocles, we imagine, cared nothing for the odium of words, or even that of blows, if they had fol- found conviction that the liberties of his country were at stake; and it was no time to consider matters of mere taste, propriety, or even military subordination. We referred to this incident a few days ago, on another occasion, in illustration of our present position; and now repeat it, for the special benefit of the Editors of the Advertiser; that they may bear ill mind the fact that there can he such a thing as earnest, zealous, enthusi astic, disinterested patriotism, which rises as high above all mere selfish personal or party considerations as the priceless attributes of Liberty rise in the estimation of all who are fit to enjoy it, above the glittering fascina tions of Power, whether exhibited in the splendors of Royalty or in the more imposing insignia of Empire. A. H. S. WITH WALKER IN NICARAGUA. this can he done by not only ceasing^ q 0 wed. He was moved by the pro to denounce usurpations, but by sanctioning all of them, so far as the past is concerned; and in this way they propose to make an effort, at least, to secure what is left of Liberty. These men are not statesmen. If they were they would know that “what of Liberty ” they consider as left, can never be saved or seoured by the course they reoommend. Power is ever progressive and aggressive—ever grasping and encroaching. Give it an inch, and it never fails soon to claim and take an ell. If it is to be successfully restrained in the end, it must be met at the threshold; and there persistently resisted, without terms or quarters. If the citadel be voluntarily yielded, the outposts will betaken as a matter of course. If bold and avowed usurpations, based upon “fraud, perfidy, and violence,” and in violation of every civil right, of seven millions of people, be once sanctioned as rightful acts—not to be questioned — upon what rational grounds can sensible men be inspired with any hope of saving, by the greatest possible exertions, anything that may he supposed to be left of popular rights ? We do not believe, as intimated, that the “object of the Democratic party is the acquisition of the spoils of office.” Far from it. The great object moving the masses of the De mocracy everywhere, is the salvation of the country; but while this is true, we believe it also to be true that there are with them, as with other large bodies of men, a class known as camp-followers whose “sole object ” is the spoils. One of our objects is, that this class in. the Democratic camp shall continue in their posi tion of “ Bummers,” and not be per mitted to assume that of “Leaders.” We say farther; we have a high ad miration for the Thurmans, Hoff mans, Blairs, Hancocks, McClellans, Blacks, Voorhees, Brooks, Wood wards, Adams, Coxes, Becks, Hen dricks, Seymours of the Democratic Party; perhaps a much higher admi ration, as well as estimation, of tlie statesmanship of some of them than the Editors of the Advertiser. Few living men stood higher in our esti mation than the lamented Vallandig- ham. Still we did not approve his Dayton manifesto, modified as it was and resorted to as it most probably was, as a political strategic movement, partly as a blind to the enemy, and partly as a flank manoeuvre against the real “new departure” pronuncia- mento, concocted in New York, and proclaimed in the 9th Resolution of J Watts & Co’s Liverpool Cotton CSrcu- the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Con- ^® r » °* instant, says the excess in .. ... ‘ , the visible supply over that of last year vention.
