Journal Agaiu.
get the power, to set them aside ? If you
do, how will you do it ?
In tlie issue of the paper (which
heads this article) of the 22d inst, is
an editorial addressed to us in a tone
and a spirit which commend it to our
most serious consideration. We re
gret that our space will not allow its
reproduction in full in our columns.
This is always the Lest method of
securing full, free and fair discussion
upon all subjects where the as
certainment of truth is the object.
It is the course we usually adopt, but
in this case we can, for the reasons
stated, only allude to the general line
of argument pursued by the Courier-
Journal, and then reply distinctly to
the two categorical questions pro
pounded.
The Courier-Journal, then, argues
as if our object was Revolution, and
maintains that the setting aside of
the “ fraudulent amendments” to the
Constitution would be Revolution.
To this we say, by no means. It
, would only be the arresting of a Rev
olution concocted, designed and noio
Icing carried on to overthrow the
entire fabric of free institutions on
this continent.
Were not the whole Reconstruction
measures, of which these 14th and
15th Amendments, so called, are but
the iniquitous offspring, openly and
avowedly Revolutionary in their char
acter ? Did not over two millions six
hundred thousand of American free
men so declare at the polls in 1868,
(the editors of the Courier-Journal
in the number) ? Did they not pro
claim that these measures were
“unconstitutional,Revchttionary, null
and void ?” And world not three
hundred thousand more of the same
freemen have pronouneed the same
stern judgment, constituting a majori
ty of the voters in the United States,
if they had not bee®, wantonly and
grossly disfranchised by as unserupu
lous usurpations of power as are to
be fonnd in the annals Of civilization?
Is this rhetoric, or is itifact?
Then, if these three hundred and
more thousands of freemen, now no
longer disfranchised, shall go to the
polls in 1872, and with the unbroken
phalanx of the undaunted cohorts
of their comrades of 1868, and such
patriotic aids as may come from the
ranks of their opponents, who now
see clearly wliat they did not in 1868
—the real designs of the Revolution
ists—shall pronounce a popular judg
ment against these acts of usurpation,
and their authors; how, in the name
of reason and justice, can this be said
to be a Revolution ? It will, indeed,
be a Revolution in one sense. A Rev
olution of had. mm out of. office and
good ones in their stead. It will be
such a Revolution as Hampden, Pym
and Coke effected in England when
they arrested the levy of sliip money,
abolished the Count of Star Chamber
and restored the writ of habeas cor
pus—such a Revolution as Jefferson
and the Democracy effected in this
country in 1800, .when they put the
seal of everlasting condemnation, upon
the infamous alien .and sedition, acts.
• ilt will be such a ^Revolution ist the
(entire body politic &s was effected in
the person of the one from whom the
•devils were driven cut ? As he was
restored to his right mind by the
Revolution thus effected in him, so
will .our country, now distracted by,
the evil spirits tormenting it he re
stored .to its right mind and right
ful action by that sort of Revolution
we propose. But, says ike Courier-
Journal
We mean that the people of the
United States at the polls shall refuse
to vote for any man for any office,
high or low, State or Federal, who
hold the doctrine that the Constitu
tion of tlie United States has been,
or can be rightfully or validly amend
ed by * gross usurpation” and ac
knowledged “fraud, perfidy and vio
lence /” We mean that when a ma
jority of the House of Representatives
in Congress shall he elected on this
sound Constitutional basis that
they shall pay not the slightest regard
to that flagitious crime against the
Constitution and the liberties of the
country, known as part of the 14th
Amendment, so called,which attempts
to fix other “ qualifications” for mem
bers of the House than those pre
scribed in the Constitution. Lord
Coke said: “Parliament cannot
create disabilities.” So we say, and
so we would have each House of the
Congress of the United States to de
clare ; and we would have the four
millions of the voters of the United
States, who hold the same opinion, so
to declare their judgment at the polls;
and vote for po man who does not
hold the same opinion!
Just so with the office of Chief
Magistrate. We mean that the same
overwhelming majority of the people
of the United States who feel and
know that these “ interpolations” in
the Constitution are nothing but the
results of usurpation and fraud, shall
vote for no man who holds that the
Constitution can be rightfully or val
idly so amended. In like manner,
precisely as the Democracy did in
1800 in the election of Mr. Jefferson,
on the validity of the alien and sedi
tion acts.
Just as the Democracy then
triumphed and rescued the Govern
ment in its fatal tendency to central
ized despotism, so we mean that the
Democracy in 1872 should do. This
is their high mission, if they could
but prove themselves to he equal to
its grand requirements. This is how
we propose to get rid of these great
frauds called Constitutional Amend
ments.
the Democracy of the Union to rally
as one man in the great struggle of
1872. It is not for or against“negro
suffrage,” or “negro civil or political
gbts,” the rally should be made;
but against those who are for tearing
down the whole frame work of Feder
al Institutions.
In this struggle, in onr judgment,
the motto of the Democracy, em
blazoned on their every banner from
Maine to California should be the
ords of Chatham on a memorable
occasion. This was on the ques
tion of the “disability” of the House
of Commons pronunciamento against
the right of Wilkes to hold a seat
in that body.
“A breach has been made in the
Constitution; the battlements are
dismantled; the citadel is open to
the first invader; the walls totter!
“What remains, then, but for us to
“ stand foremost in the breach, to re
pair or perish it ?”
A. H. S.
IL Mr. Stephens; after you have got
rid of the amendments, what do you
mean to do with the negro? Having de
prived him of the guarantees contained
in the amendments, will you deprive him
of suffrage and civil rights? And, in this
latter event, what is your general idea
to the disposition that ought to be made
of him?

Politics in Arkansas.
The Dardanellee {Ark.) Chronicle,
in a late issue, amongst other like
sentiments, utters the following:
If the Northern Democracy choose to
accept the late “so-called” amendments
to the Constitution, they can do so; bnt
we are still opposed to them, at all times
and under aU circumstances. If they
choose to abandon the old, well-tried,
time-honored landmarks, they can do so;
we will not now nor ever follow after them.
If they choose to become Republicans to
defeat Republicans, or Radicals to defeat
Radicalism, they can just do so; we will
none of it. If the Northem'people are
too corrupt, too ignorant, too unfit for
self-government, and must needs have a
strong government—a government chang
ed from what it was in 1861, a govern
ment consolidated and centralized at
Washington, in a Congress or in a Presi
dent, they can just fix it that way; we will
spurn it and spit upon it {still, and
call aloud for heaven and earth to witness
the betrayal of constitutional liberty.

We waotdigliter taxes. W-e-want a less

erant spirit. We want to eheck the
course both of .corruption and revolution
by that' neeessary displacement in the
governing party which, whilst furnishing
occasion and material for reforms, re
minds leaders and public men of .their
.dependence on the people and their «obli-
igation to the State.
To this we say, iliat is exactly what
we want to do. We want to check the
course both of corruption and Revolu
tion by the necessary displacement of A
the governing party, &e.; bnt we ask,
in all earnestness, can this be ex
pected to be done on any rational
principles, by indorsing, approving
and sanctioning the admitted Revolu
tionary acts of the Governing Party ?
How is the Revolution, then, in pro
gress, to be checked by sanctioning its
worst acts, and following in shouts of
approval on the line of its progress ?
Now to the Courier-JournaVs spe
cific questions: *
I Mr Stephens; tell ns precisely what
yon mt-Mii hy refusing to recognize the
validuv of tlie Fourteenth and Fifteenth
am**ndDo you mean, when you
We mean to do with the black popu
lation just as with any other class of 1
the population in the country—that
is, leave their status—their rights,
civil and political—with the States
wherein they reside respectively.—
Their freedom is forever guaranteed,
to them hy the 13th Amendment to
the Constitution, which was right
fully and validly adopted by all the
States most deeply interested in the
subject. As to suffrage and what
extent of civil or political rights shall
be extended to this class of popula
tion, these are questions for eaeh
State to determine for itselfi Con
gress has no more rightful control
over them than over woman suffrages,
Indian suffrage, or the civil or politi
cal rights of any other class of popu
lation in the respective States. This
is our view of this subject briefly
given.
Our general idea as to the disposi
tion of this class of population is that
it ought to be dealt fairly and justly
by, in all the States; and that all rights,
civil and political, ought to be secured
io them by eaeh State respectively, as
they shall prove themselves fit lo have
awarded them. As a Georgian, we
have no disposition to interfere in the
slightest degree with the policy that
Massachusetts or Connecticut, or
Kentucky or Pennsylvania, or New
York, may adopt, each for itself, in
regard cto this race. We only protest
that neither nor all of these States
shall interfere with that policy which
Georgia, tether “wisdom, moderation,
and justice” shall determine is for the
best interest* of both races, within her
limits and jurisdiction. She has her
self, by her owsj act, and in good faith,
‘orever, guaranteed their freedom;
aad we doubt not will also forever
award them all their rights which
they may prove themselves to be fit to
exere^e for the best interests of soci
ety.
These are questions, however,
which, in no way rightfully belong to
Federal politick—and the taking ju
risdiction of them by the Federal
Government, is iteelf the essence of
centralism.
It is against this usurpation of
Power—gross, wanton and destruc
tive to our American system of local
State government, that we would have
If they say we only mean to quiet onr
own people by crying out "dead issues,”
“accomplishedfacts,” “acceptingthesit-
uation,” the till democracy can get control
of the government, and then they will
set about changing what they pledged
themselves to acquiesce in and abide by;
what we have to say is: that all this is
worse than telling lies, it is acting lies in
the face of the world, and we, for one,
will have nothing to do with it. The
South is too pure, too virtuous, too pat
riotic, too intelligent, too republican, too
democratic even, to be caught in any
such company, or of being guilty of any
such duplicity and falsehood. Such log
ic is too shallow and too inconsistent to
deceive her, for her to give it up, for any
earthly consideration whatever. * *
The South falls into the arms of her ben
efactor, who chastens her, as loving and
loved children are chastened, but she will
oommend herself to this same great ben
efactor, by clinging on to her birthright
of constitutional liberty, and never, nev-
| ee will she give it up or yield it only
with her last agonizing, expiring breath.
Never will she yield her principles of fi
delity to the glorious old Constitution of
onr fathers, till her trne sons have Bkown
to the world that there is a people who
prefer principle to policy—that there is a
a people {who yield not only slaves and
property, land and money, but life itself,
sooner than betray liberty, sooner than
violate a -covenant, sooner than permit
her covenant violently to be broken.

LOVE SONG.
■ i/e sings to the air of “Oss’ an’s Serenade”
EX THK AUTHOR.
Como share with me my husband’s home,
Our goods and chattels—come oh, come!
The best of all X will divide,
To have yon with me by his side.
Then como with me and share my loYe,
We’ll live like violets in a grove,
And oh, the arms of the sheltering tree
Are broad enough for you and me.
There are many girls who are fair and true,
Who would take the love I offer yon;
Bnt none in whom so sweetly blend
My husband’s lover and my friend.
Then do not turn your eyes away,
Bnt let them hitherwood kindly stray,
For, dearest, all I say I’ll prove
When you consent to love my love.
Then come my love, ho not afraid,
You may bo the mistress, I the maid,
Together we’ll love’s lesson learn,
And take our husband’s love in turn,
Then come and let those eyes be kissed
Till their tears shall vanish like s mist,
For the heart of him -whom I adore,
Is large enough for three or fear.
B©=> Yeiy tender, very sweet, and very
poetic is the following sonnet, said to be
from the Portuguese:
Say over again and yet over again,
That thou dost love me. Though the word repeated
Should seem a “cuckoo” song, as thou dost troat it.
Bemember, never to the hill or plain,
Valley and -wood without her cuckoo strain,
Comes the fresh spring in all her green completed.
Darling, I, amid the darkness greeted
By a doubtful spirit-voice, in that doubt’s pain
Cry: “Speak once more—thou lovestl” Who can
fear,
Too many stars, though each in heaven shall roll—
Too many flowers, though each shall crown the year?
Say thou dost lovo me, love me, love me—toU
The silver iterance!—only minding, dear,
To love me also in silence, with thy sonl,

Columbus.
The Sun sets about proving that
Columbus is not “a dead town,” and
offers a few -convincing arguments, as
follows:
Since 1866 everything has has been re
placed as it was. Many large business
houses have been erected. • At least $3,-
500,000 have been invested in cotton and
iron establishments alone. The cotton
factories ran some 30,000 spindles; the
iron works employ some 200 hardy me
ehanies. Since 1866 Columbus has ex
pended some six millions of dollars re
placing and improving what the Yankees
destroyed for her, and she has done it
with her own capital and that of this sec
tion. She has not been aided in the
least by the North. Her water power, as
regards volume, accessibility and cheap
ness of availability, is unrivalled. At Co
lumbus the present dam will ran ISOjOOO
spindles, and in a space of three miles
above, millions can be operated.

to com. Cotton, it says, promises abont
half a crop. The latter disaster, howev

much money into the country as a whole

war. His law practice, ho said, covers
the counties. He stated, from personal
knowledge, that the negroes enjoy all the
privileges of the courts, and juries seem
rather inclined to favor the negroes. He
prosecuted a white man for killing a ne

law. The same court convicted a white
man for killing a negro, and he was sen
