The Montgomery Advertiser.
TVe call the attention of our readers to-
to a most extraordnary editorial(of the
GtU inst.) taken from the paper whose
pftme stands at the head of this article.
It will bo found in full in another
column.
Upon the subject, we have a few things
to say to onr cotemporary of Montgomery,
Alabama.
First then, we did think that the diff
erence between that Journal and Mr.
Stephens was a vast deed “more, than the
were school-boy conundrum of who slruc7c
Billy Patterson,” and shall be consider
ably gratified if the sequel shall prove
jiis present understanding of it to be
correct.
We 'have, heretofore, understood the
Advertiser as fully indorsing the Ninth
Resolution of the Pennsylvania Harris
burg Convention, against which we have
been warring—warring to the knife—and
still so war. That Eesolution contains,
and expresses, the essence of the creed
which the Advertiser has maintained will
be adopted by the Democratic Party of
the Union at its next General Conven
tion, under the lead of the “New De-
parturists.” It has been to prevent this
result that we have been laboring all the
time. Now if the Advertiser thinks that
the difference between us on this subject
is “no more than the school-boy conun
drum of who struck Billy Patterson,”
then we think the editors of that Jour
nal have expended a great deal of useless
labor in endeavoring to make the people
believe that we were no Democrat, and
. were using our efforts to break down
the Northern Democracy, because we
would not agree to say, as the 9 th Penn
sylvania Harrisburg Eesolution declared
in substance, that the 14th and 15th
Amendments had been incorporated into
the organic law “in the manner and by
the authority Constitutionally appointed.
Does the Advertiser still affirm the
truth of that Eesolution ? Does it still
adhere to its advocacy of the “New De
parture” doctrine set forth in it ? The
great difference between us and the “New
Departurists” is, that while we hold these
Amendments as existing only de facto,
they hold them to be de jure parts of the
Constitution—never hereafter to be ques
tioned. This we take, or understand, to
be a difference of much more importance
to all friends of liberty in this country,
than the school-boy conundrum referred
to by our cotemporary.
But the most extraordinary part of
this editorial is the statement in it “that
Mr. Stephens abandons substantially the
position he has heretofore maintained in
four and five column articles of absolute
issue with the National Democratic
Party.”
We say this is most extraordinary, be
cause it is nothing but bold assertion,
without the shade of a shadow of a fact
to rest upon. Not a line, a sentence, ex
pression, or word, in the paragraphs
quoted from us, is in the slightest de
gree inconsistent with, or variant from,
anything said by us in the columns of
The Sun since we took charge of its
editorial department. It is not true,
in point of fact, that we “‘virtually
indorsed” the California Platform—in
the parts quoted from us. On the con
trary, we expressly stated that we had not
seen it;—and, moreover, we stated to our
correspondent that while we considered
him and all others holding like sentiments
—true to the Constitution, with whom
we could cordially co-operate, yet we
feared, from his statement of the Califor
nia Platform, that the Democrats there
would lose the State under it.
Theso are our words which the Adver
tiser was careful to omi t:
We say, in conclusion, to our correspondent, that
while we shaU look with interest and hope to the
success of his Stato ticket in the election so near at
hand, yet, wo greatly apprehend that ho will find,
when tho result of the polls is known, that tho party
has been considerably •• handicapped" by a Platform
which did not give full utterance to the true senti-
:nenU of tho people. •
Why was this sentence omitted by the
Advertiser? Does it not clearly show
that we did not approve tho California
Platform, even as represented to us, and
that we greatly apprehended that the true
and gallant, honest masses of the De
mocracy of California, like our corres
pondent, would be beaten with tho New
Departure feature in it ? And has not
the result shown that our apprehensions
were well founded ? A. H. S.
ism in its essence, for it pledges itself to
indorse, stand-by build upon and main
tain forever, the worst thing ever done by
the Eadicals.
The defeat in California may well be “un
welcome ’and “alarming” to onr neighbor,
if it desires Democratic success; but it is
not in the least surprising. The Demo
cratic party there had nothing to fight for
nothing to enthuse them—no issue
with the Eadicals upon which to go zeal
ously into the canvass. How could thev,
or how can we, or Democrats any where
else, enter a campaign and vigorously
fight the Eadicals by indorsing their
frauds, nsurpations and revolutionary
measures, and according them the sanc
tion and validity of rightful law ?
No; the way to enthuse the Democrat
ic party is to give them their time-honor
ed Platform to stand upon, and the old
banner to fight'under, and the truth to
sustain them. A refuge of lies can never
shelter the party from disgraceful defeat.
Whenever it abandons its principles, it
will certainly not only secure defeat, but
deserve it. »So far, the party has been de
feated wherever this “New Departure”
heresy has been adopted; and if it shall be
incorporated into the creed of the party
by the next National Convention, it will
be defeated in the next Presidential can
vass. If this plank had been put into
the Kentucky platform, the Democracy
would have been defeated there. .We
cannot win Eepublicans to onr ranks by
going over to them, neither can we carry
honest Democrats with us; and the sooner
this foolish idea is abandoned, tho bet
ter. It has always been the case, and
always will be the case, that the flag of
the Democracy has come, out of a con
flict “least tattered where it has been
borne the highest and boldest in the
fight.”
Gov. Haight was elected in California
two years ago, when Eadicalism was far
more formidable in the United States
than it is now, upon a square fight-, on
the good old Bourbon Platform of 1868;
and would have been elected again, if
the party had not, in an evil hour,
yielded to the temptations of the “De
parture” delusion.
And that fatal step by the Democracy
in that State was th« most foolish, the
most suicidal and .the most uncalled for.
It had a clear majority in the State and
could have kept it, if it had kept its in
tegrity.
We will remind our neighbor and all
concerned, that the old Whig parly came
to its defeat and death by putting rotten
planks in its platform. It made a bid
for the Abolition vote, and that bid was
its death stab.
Friends, stick to principles. Adhere
to honest truth. Don’t go away after
strange Gods, nor bow the knee to Baal,
nor worship a golden calf! We can bear
defeat and survive it, if we maintain our
integrity, but we cannot survive either
success or defeat if we abandon our prin
ciples. Success on wrong principles will
be worse than defeat, even if success
could be achieved by a “departure” from
the truth; but it cannot..
In the foregoing article the Constitution
speaks of the “violent opinions and revolu-
tionray spirit at the South!” and of “South
ern impracticables !” That is strange lan
guage from a journal that boasts of being a
Confederate concern ! It sounds like Badi-
cal slander. If it had been uttered by Hen
ry Wilson, or Ben. Butler, or Edwin M.
Stanton, or Bufus B. Bullock, or Foster
Blodgett, we could have understood it.
Neighbor, we did not expect that of you.

Out readers Trill see at a glance that
Mr. Stephens abandons substantially the

four and five column articles, of absolute

to reserve the right to wage a war of

cratic party. We trust he will soon aban

A Circular Letter Issued by the Cham
ber of Commerce.
The following letter or circular is issued
by the Board of Directors of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce. Attached to
this circular is a succinct statement of the
condition of trade, manufactories, and
the commerce generally of Atlanta. Some
fifteen thousand copies have been printed
for gratuitous circulation. Those want
ing a copy can get one by addressing M.
. Cooper, Esq., Secretary. : '
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1st, 1871.
At a meeting of the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce, held at their rooms on
Thursday evening, 31st August, it was
resolved that this body call the attention
of merchants, and others in this section,
to the fact of the organization of a
Chamber of Commerce,” having for its
object the promotion of the interests and
business of this city, to foster a generous
rivalry and fraternal feelings among our
members by a more familiar intercourse
with each other; to exercise a judicious
supervision over the various interests,
and by a proper representation prevent
unjust discrimination against onr. city in
the matter of freights, a subject of. inter
est to us all, and one which will claim
the serious consideration of this Cham
ber. Having already succeeded in get
ting a through-rate of freights from At
lanta over most of the roads, and expect
to effect the same change over all of
them, whereby all goods shipped from
Atlanta will go at lower rates than here
tofore; thereby enabling our merchants
to successfully compete for the trade
which should naturally belong to Atlanta.
Calling your attention to our extended
Railroad facilities, and to the fact that
our merchants are supplied with by far
the most extensive stocks ever offered in
this market, averaging fully fifty per
cent, more than those of any previous
season! That since last season there have
been established in this city 8 many new
and extensive Wholesale Houses, and va
rious Manufactories, with still more on
the eve of being established. Thus pre
senting heavier stocks, und at lower pri
ces, than ever before offered. In fact,
Atlanta in prices can and does suc
cessfully compete with any market North
or South.
Thinking your interests will be sub
served by an examination of the stocks
now on hand in this city, we extend a
cordial invitation to you to visit Atlanta,
and solicit in behalf of our merchants
your patronage.
MAYOR’S COURT.
California.
The news from this State is unwe’eome—is alarm
* n E- It shows that tho Badical effort to impress the
people with the insincerity of the Northern and
Western Democracy, and the prevalence of violent
opinions and revolutionary spirit at the South, has
succeeded. But a few weeks ago we plead against
undue confidence in the success of the National De
mocracy, and tho importance of doing nothing to in
jure the prospects and campaign of our Northern al
lies. If, however, tho California election will put a
•top to the assault of Southern impracticables upon
tno Northern Democracy, the result of that election
will prove a blessing in disguise. Friends, onco
more wc appeal to you to turn your guns away from
onr own ranks to those of the enemy.
The foregoing appeared in the Consti
tution of Saturday morning. We regret
ted to see it. Surely ! surely ! Is that
the best judgment of our neighbor, or is
it aiming to defeat the Democracy every
where ? Wo cannot believe the latter,
and arc not willing to come to the former
conclusion ; therefore, it is with surprise
and astonishment, as well as regret, that
we see such an article in its columns.
This New Departure is no friend to
Democracy. It is not Democracy. Its
triumph will not he a Democratic triumph
but a Democratic defeat. It aims at the
death of the party, and is gotten up by
the enemies thereof expressly to divide
From the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, Cth Sep
tember, 1871.
Well! Well!! Well!!!
Has it come to this at last ? We had
supposed that the difference between the
Advertiser and Mr. Stephens was more
than the mere school hoy conundrum of
who struck Billy Patterson. But it real
ly appears from the leading editorial in
the Atlanta luminary, in its issue of the
4th, that the great nallifier of the XIVth
and XVth Amendments now acknowl
edges them to he de facto parts of the
Constitution with all the force and effect- of
law. ' WMBM
Without further comment we copy the
remarks of Mr. Stephens upon the letter
of a California correspondent, of The
Sun, whom we also recognize to be
friend, correspondent, and indorser of
the political views of the Advertiser.
FBOM THE ATLANTA. SUN.
We very cheerfully give place to-day to a letter
from the ‘‘Young Giant” of the West. The tone and
spirit of the letter are patriotic, and true to the
Constitution throughout. With all such Democrats
we can co-operate most heartily. We have no ob
jection to those who accept the “fraudulent amend
ments” as existing fads, while the administration
of the Government is in the hands of those who are
clothed with power to enforce them; but who do
not indorse them as finalities. We hail as friends all
those who acquiesce in them as de facto, but not de
jure parts of the organic law. We have not 8. en the
Democratic platform of California, upon which the
present canvass in that State is conducted; hut have
no doubt from the tone and spirit of the letter, of
onr correspondent, that tho difference between him
and us, (had we been in the Convention with him)
would have been a difference only as to form and
not one of substance, as to the proper language in
which the true position should have been set forth.
We have all along said but little about the Ohio
Platform. It is the 9th. Resolution of the Penn
sylvania Harrisburg Convention against which
we war, and war to the knife 1

the Democracy of the Union to adopt; and this is
just what our correspondent shows that he is quite
as little disposed to do as we are; for according to
the plain letter and clear intent of that Eesolution
the object is to get the Democracy everywhere, tc
declare that there was no fraud, perfidy or usurpation
attending the proposal or adoption of these Amend
ments at all—that they have been incorporated in
the organic law "in the manner and by the authority
Constitutionally appointed;" in oUier words, that
they are not only de facto but de jure parts of the

reached here yesterday afternoon, having
passed through sundry trials and tribula
tions. They were stopped by a break in
the road near and on this side of Gordon.
The Macon and Augusta Railroad suf
fered more severely from the freshet than
was at first reported. In addition to the
washing away of much of the trestle work
over Walnut creek, near this city, and re
ported yesterday, we learn that the road
suffered materially at Commissioners and
Fishing creeks, near Milledgeville, and
in several places the embankments gave
gave way, forming ugly breaks in the
road. It will be several days before reg
ular freight and passenger trains will be
able to run over it.
We learned yestdrday, from a note left
on our desk, that various milling prop
erty and mill-dams, in this vicinity, were
swept away by the freshet of Wednesday
night last. Among others mentioned in
the note as being gone, are the saw-mill
dam, cotton gin and factory dam of Mr.
6. W. Massey; Riggins’ mill dam, and
those also of Mr. Nelson. Indeed, we
have not heard of a solitary mill dam in
the county that wholly withstood the
pressure. They were all damaged seri
ously, or swept away entirely. We dare
say the accumulated damages of the
freshet, including the injuries sustained
by the various railways and country
roads, and the overflow of field crops,
will amount to more than those of any
freshet we have had within the last thirty
years.

The reading of the picture is easy: The

But the salt has lost its savor and the
“eagle-bird of liberty” refuses to he salt

Washington Rumors About Bullock
and Kimball.
Special Dispatch to the Daily Advertisor.
Washington, September’ 6.—It is ru
mored here to-night that Kimball’s cred
itors are making preparations to seize
Ms Brunswick Railroad. A near relative
of Kimball’s expresses the opinion that
he (Kimball) has certainly failed. It is
said that over forty of Kimball’s cred
itors in New York prepared to nab him,
but he slipped through their fingers and
escaped to Europe.
It is said that Kimball has gone to
Europe for the purpose of negotiating
the Georgia bonds which he received as
State aid to his railroad; also his four
hundred thousand dollars Atlanta real
estate improvement bonds. If Kimball
operates successfully in Europe, it will
be in effect, withdrawing all his money
from Georgia and leaving his creditors
to whistle for theirs.
Bullock asserts that Kimball is, or will
be, all right when he reaches Europe;
but this is doubtful, as dispatches have
been sent to London warning them of
his approach, which may have the effect
of defeating his schemes.
