THE DAILY SUN. Tuesday Morning July 18. JOHN FORSYTH OF THE Mobile Register, on the Jfeparture.” “N< The “Departure” or the Consti tution! The "New Departure” dodge was unquestionably shaped to reconcile the large body of Democrats who had back-8lided on the war question and permitted the Abolitionists to drag them to a field of blood on the false pretext that they were to fight for the flag and the Union. Besides these there were a great many old Whigs in the North sentimentally op posed to slavery, and who were more eaisily seduced by Lincoln, Wendell Phillips and the Abolition leaders.— Both of these classes now see how trans parent was the cheat put upon them so far as "the flag” and "the Union” were concerned. It is ten years since the war begun, and we have no Union yet, while the flag and the protection which it emblems are still refused to a large part of the American people TheWhig sentimentalists of the North are now relieved from one of their difficulties by the elimination of the slavery question from the political issues of the day. Both of these classes, which have gone so far to keep the Radical party in power, are sick of the extravagance and tyran nical tendencies of the Grant admin istration, and naturally gravitate for relief towards the Democracy. The "new departure” was invented —or rather, it was so pretended—as a bridge to bear these voters back to the Democratic fold. If it were no more than a bridge to pass them safely over it would have been all right, for the Democratic tent is wide open to re ceive and embrace all who honestly come to it as fellow' soldiers to save the Government from its present peril, of becoming hardened into the despotic form. But there is good rea son to believe that the “ new’ depar ture,” so far from being a bridge to pass new members into the Democrat ic camp, is a bridge that lures and marches the Democratic camp over to Radical Mongrelism. It is one thing to invite recruits into the Dem ocratic temple, but it is another thing to demolish that temple and to build a new one after Radical pattern, in order to make it entirely acceptable to the r.ew recruits. The New Y<_rk Day Book pithily expresses the thought in these words: But now we are told by the organ of the ’‘Departure” [the World] that these old deserters “ yearu for the old faith, and want to come back !” Very well! if they “yearn for the old faith,” let them come back to it—our arms shall be open to receive them ; but if, instead of coming back to the old faith, they want the “old faith” upset altogether, and the prinoi such a course would be just as strong as they are now for- dodging the amendments secured by fraud, perfidy and the bayonet, which brc-ak down local rights, wipe out State lines and draw all the pow’ers of 1 sovereignly to central seat of government. And this question is to be answered: when tyr anny encroaches on the rights of a people, when is the proper and safe time to resist it, at the first step or the last ? In answer to the question we quote froin a man who has made the science of government, and es pecially the organic laws of the Uni ted States Government, the study of his lifer—a man w r ho deserves the title of statesman, if any man does on this continent. Mr. A. H, Stephens,- .of Georgia, wrote the following within a few days past: Some misguided Democratic partisans may think that all they can accomplish at the next election, is to save themselves from worse evils than those now upon them, and that even this can be done by not only ceasing 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 hot statesmen. If they were they would know that “what of. liberty” they consider as left, can never be saved or secured by the course they recommend. 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 suc cessfully restrained in the end, it must be met at the threshold; and there persistent ly resisted, .without terms or quarters.— If the citadel be voluntarily yielded, the outposts will be taken 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 sanc tioned as rightful acts—not to be ques tioned—upon what rational grounds can sensible men be inspired with any hope of saving, by the greatest possible exer tions, anything that may be supposed to be left of popular right ? And again, When charged with a purpose to rule or ruin the Demo cratic party, and a desire to write its platform against its own wishes, he says, addressing the Montgomery Ad vertiser : Be further assured, gentlemen, we have ‘ no desire or inclination to write any plat form for the Democracy. We want no neio platform written for them by any body. Our whole soul is enlisted in urg ing them not to abandon that one created for them by Mr. Jefferson, (not by Mr. Calhoun,) and upon 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!” Here is something to stir a true man’s soul. How different from a " departure,” that when pressed for a solution of its meaning, is at once whittled down to th - paltry dimen sions of a mere party dodge. If it be true that the people of this country cannot be aroused to vote for their grand liberties under the Constitu tion of their fathers, but have to be coaxed aud wheedled and fooled into TELEGRAPH NEWS By the New York Associated Press.

The dispatches from Saratoga say that Longfellow will not run to-morrow. FRANCE. fire and Bx'plosion Paris, July 17.—A great fire occurred it by tlie devices of party trickstery. we wish to know if this people are fit we can tell them and their conscienceless tools, the departurists, that there is a re deeming and unyielding majority of the honest old Democratic party which will never consent to move bodily into the “new” negro shed for this luxury of living harmoniously with all the renegades from the time-honored priciples of Democracy. And we believe that there are more “old line Whigs” in the negro party, who are heartily aick and ashamed of its crimes (and who are prepared to come to the “old faith of Democracy,”) than there are renegade ^Democrats in that camp. And they will come as honest converts to the “old faith” on which the Republic was reared by the fathers. Now, when the "Departurites” come to answer this objection, and the other grave one, that they are abandoning their life-time safe posi tion on the ramparts of the Consti tution, that they never fail to become foggy. They repudiate, at once and indignantly, the thought that they approve the amendments which they are trying to ignore, and are obliged to admit that the “departure” in only to be taken in a Pickwickiau sense. It is a mere "dodge” unworthy of statesmen and barely tolerable is par ty managers o$ a low order of morals and enlightenment. We say this of the originators of the dodge, and yet freely admit that it may have many honest followers, who think they find in it the realization of tlieir darling wish to save the Constitution from the hands of Radical destructives. It looks to us, we must confess, as if the idea really had not its origin in any-mind in true affinity with the Democratic party. We have seen how it delighted Mr. Justice Chase, and we can readily imagine bow he saw in it the platform for a new par- . ty, made out of the wreck of the two ol< to have liberty, or able to save it even after it has been bamboozled into their possession.

For 4he benefit of certain parties who write the cotton " Crop,” I would state that the crop of 18G9 and 1870 is given as follows: BALES.

We do not believe, from our careful observation of the course of public opinion upon the "departure,” that the Democratic masses can be brought to stand upon it. And we feel quite sure that when it comes to be analyzed in the Na tional Convention next year, a great majority will be found that prefer to stand boldly against fraudulent inter polations in the Constitution to white washing them as dead issues. Sup pose there had been an amendment declaring Grant Emperor and order ing that the sceptre should pass to the feeble descendants of his blood.— Would any man counsel the free- loving three millions of Demo crats in this land to accept it as an accomplished fact, to ignore it for for prudence sake, and thus "depart” around the sharp edges of that murderous assault upon a free Constitution ?

And as the receipts at all ports are in excess of last year over a mil lion bales, is it not reasonable to cal culate something like a correspond ing increase of receipts direct to the Northern mills ? And if the increase is in same ratio, and receipts at ports continue at the same rate of per cent over last year for the balance of the year, why not say the crops of 1870 and 1871 is nearly 4,500,000 bales ? In the face of a large crop one of your writers says that 250,000 bales were held over from the crop of 1869 and 1870. How much will now he held back in the face of a small “ cotton crop ” for 1871?
