6. T HE AT L A NT A - WEEKLY SUN. THE DAILY SUN. Thursday Morning September 21, TJ»e Isplits of 1S72 anil the Unity of the Democratic Party. We said the other day that-the folding and chv'f issue in the contest of 1872 will be Constitutionalism against Centralism, and that it is essential for_ the Constitu tional or Democratic Party, first, to be thoroughly united upon the principles which control this leading issue. In re ply to the 2io- s il> on of some, that this unity must first be brought about by an unreserved acceptance of “the results or fruits of the war," on the part of the South, in order to satisfy the demands of the Northern Democracy, we have only to repeat what wo have often here tofore said: that the Southern Democ racy do accept, and in the most perfect goal faith, all the actual results of the tear, whether legitimate orothencise. By “the war,” wc mean the tear against secession. We have heretofore shown what these results were. We have shown most clearly and indisputably that they do not include any of the acts of usur pation by the Bump Congress after the war against secession had fully ac complished all its objects—and after the Union, nuder the Constitution, was com pletely restored—or, after (in the lan guage of Mr. Liucoln,) “the restoration of all tho States to Llieir practical rela tions to tho Union, under the Constitu tion.” This was in 18C5. It was then that peace was declared. It was then, and upon the Proclamation of that fact, that all the States were entitled to their voice in the Federal Councils: At that time tho war had fully accomplished all of its.xesults and had gathered all of its fruits. No change in the status of Parties to auy war, affecting their rights on either side, can be justly or properly claimed as the result of that war, which was not accomplished during the period it lasted, and before the declaration of peace. No result, in this respect, can ever go further than that allowed by the principle of “uti possidetis.” The utmost extent of tho principle is, that all parties to a war shall remain as they stood at the end of the war. If “tcar legislates,” it never “legislates” beyond this well-settled principle. The Southern Democracy, therefore, do accept in good faith all the results of the war against secession. But wo have shown that, since this war was cuded, another war has bean waged, and’is still waging, against the Constitu tion, the object of which is the over throw of the entire fabric of free institu tions in this country. Tho claimed results of this war the Southern Democracy do not accept, and never will, further than to yield obedi ence to the acts of usurpation on the part of the Ruling Dynasty, so long as they ore clothed with power to execute their de facto, but not dejure, measures. They hold those measures to be gross usurpa tions, and as such should be so deemed by all friends of liberty for all time to come. TVe believe, further, that there is perfect unity now between the masses of the Northern Democracy and Southern De mocracy on this point. It would be a gross imputation upon the integrity and patriotism of the Northern Democracy, and especially upon that class known as War Democrats, to suppose that they look upon any of these usurpations of -the Rump Congress as the result of the war in which they en gaged ! or that they desire to share in any such “fruits.” They fought for the maintenance of tho Union, under the Constitution, and not for its overthrow ! To suppose that the gallant Morgan, of Ohio, or Davis, of Pennsylvania, to say nothing of tho others of the thousands of Wav Democrats at the North, look upon these late usurpations of Congress as the proper results or fruits of the war in which they engaged, is equiva lent to supposing that they are as untrue to themselves, and their own “honor,” as to tho Constitution. The truth is, they look upon these measures very much as we do. Then we see no difficulty in bringing about a perfect unity of tho Democracy, North and South, upon the results of the war. All that is necessary is a clear under standing of what these results are, and a discrimination between them and the claimed results of the war now waging against tho Constitution. No Democrat in the Union believes that the 14th and 15th Amendments, so cuffed,to the Consti tution, are rightful results of the war against secession—or have been right fully incorporated in the Federal Com pact. Where, then, is there any difficul ty in effecting perfect unity in the De mocracy everywhere upon tho results of tho war? Are they not now thus united, and is the “New De parture” move anything but a derice to divide them on it ? A. H. S. eighth regular toast, which was: “To the Alumni oil tho second quarter of the present century—they present mar.y heroic names, of whom our Alma Mater may justly fed proud; but to indi vidualize them might seem invidious. Let us cherish the memories of the dead, and let us love the living. We have a heart for all our Alumni, of whatever party or creed; a mother’s full heart goes out to each and to all.” Mr. President and Gentlemen: The blood of the mother ever courses in the veins of her children—her intellect re produces itself in their brains.

The following speech will be read with the deepest interest by many hundreds, and even thousands, all through the Southern States, from the Potomac to the Rio Grande: lion. James Jackson responded to the the period covered by yon call me to respond. Following the example jnst set me by mv distinguished friend (Judge Hams) I begin with the first class of that pe riod—the class of 182G: Two names on its roll are sufficient of themselves to immortalize our illustrious Alma Mater. The one is Daniel Chan dler, who, in a great address delivered before this University, gave the first im petus to female education, and the mon ument to whose memory is the beautiful sisterhood of colleges, academies and schools throughout the South, whence educated woman is annually sent to adorn and sweeten our home life. The other still survives, and as the head of the bar of New Orleans—preferring private sta tion and poverty with the. South to the robes of high office and wealth with her enemies—as the head of that bar, and in. that private station he reflects as much honor upon the name of John A. Camp bell as when on the Supreme bench of the United States, he was the peer of the proudest that sat by his side I Sir, during this period of her existence our Alma Mater gave birth to statesmen illustrious on the high arena of national politics. I name hut two. The one is Alexander H. Stephens, who won the proud appellation of the Great Com moner of the South in the Federal Leg islature, and who, unable longer to stand upon his feet and pour the eloquence of truth and patriotism into the popular ear, traces, at Liberty Hall, with tremb ling' pen, lines of immortal thought and historic interest. The other has de scended into the grave—a grave wet with more tears than ever fell before on corpse of public man.- Dear to me, sir, he was, as was David to Jonathan; I revere the grandeur of his intellect and the great ness of his heart—the one exhibited in the high positions he adorned, the other in that constant flow of charity which caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy and the orphan’s eye to dauce with glee. Need I mention his name? Connected with this university as pupil and trustee from Boyhood to the grave, and spring ing now from every heart to every lip, need I say I allude to Howell Cobb? Sir, during this period our Alma Ma ter gave birth to Governors of States. Again, I name but two. Both, with talents befitting their exalted stations, uniting the virtues of private life, the accomplishments of. Christian manhood and the purity of unsullied honor and honesty. The one is Herschel V. John son, ex-Govemor of Georgia; the other is the class-mate of my distinguished friend near me, Judge Yason, and»my own class-mate, John Gill Shorter, Gov ernor of Alabama. Sir, during this period, our Alina Ma ter gave birth to Princes in Israel—illus trious watchmen on the heights of Zion. Again, I name but two. The one is George F. Pierce, the Bishop of my own church, under whose matchless eloquence I sat at Oxford but the other Sabbath, bathed in tears, and not ashamed of my weakness, because all other eyes which met mine were wet too; the other is Benjamin M. Palmer, who sits now in our presence, and whose power we aE felt yesterday, and at whose feet I had designed to. lay a little chaplet of flowers, but the distinguished President of the Board of Trustees, (Gov. Jenkins,) and tho accomplished Cnancellor of the Uni versity, (Dr. Lipscomb,) have scattered them so profusely, yet tastefully, around and over him, that I find no vacant spot for my humbler offering. Sir, daring this period our Alma Ma ter made judges who fiUed the Bench with ability and-dignity, and preserved the ermine spotless in purity. Again I name but two, Judges of Georgia’s Su preme Court, whose opinions and judg ments wEl live on her records forever. The one is Henry L. Benning, of Colum bus; the other, is Linton Stephens, of Sparta. Sir, during the same period, our Alma Mater give birth to lawyers of power and erudition sufficient to make a hundred judges. Again I name hut two. The one is Robert Toombs, of whom our la mented Chief Justice Lumpkin said that ho was the most powerful intellect he ever saw in a court room; the other is Wm. Hope Hull, who sits near me, most worthy of aU the men I know to wear the robe which feU so becomingly around the person of that accomplished lawyer and spotless Judge. Sir, during the same period, our Alma Mater gave birth to physicians, who, in the more quiet walks and retired circles of life, administered the healing art to suffering humanity, soothed the sorrows of the sick and smoothed the pElow of the dying. Again I name but two— deeply read in the science of medicine, and whose name and fame as great doc- tom are commensurate with the State. The one is Dr. Paul E. Eve, of Augusta: the other is Dr. Richard D. Moore, of Athens; identified with this University as pupil and Trustee from boyhood to this moment, he sits quietly at this Board, but hopes as high and works as earnestly for the old Mother as any child she has borne. Sir, during thisperiod, our Alma Mater made the men who themselves have made Alumni. Great teachers and professors have been born from her womb. Passing by those who dwell within the curtilage of her mansion and who minister at her altars here—passing by another very dis tinguished name, Professor Sanford, of Mercer University—again I recall to your memory but two illustrious names. Sir, they have carried the fame of Georgia’s J ulv ■ University to the far distant Pacific, where the one as President, and the oth er as Professor, of the University of Cal ifornia, illustrate the blood and the brains of this “Grand old Alma Mater,” nay, sir, more; wherever science is apprecia ted, ami scientific works are read, this, or the other side of the broad Atlantic, the names of Drs. John and Joseph Lecomte are familiar as household words. Let Georgia bring them back. Let this, their mother, recall them to her bosom to her in her new march to wider fields of victory, under better auspices and more Hberal endowment. But, sir, were I to go on with this roll of honor daring this period of our Alina Mater’s history, to-morrow’s sun would rise upon me stfil repeating the names and recalling to mind the talents and achievements, in every walk of useful life, of those sods whom she gave to Georgia, to the South, to mankind and to God. There is one other class I may not omit—heroes who fell on battle fields of victory were born to her here. I name again but two. The one is Francis S. Bartow, the able lawyer, the cultivated scholar, the accomplished gentleman, the noble hero who fell in the arms of victo ry on the plains of first Manassas; the other is Thomas R. R. Gobb, the only universal genius I have ever seen. Law yer, scholar, statesman, soldier, orator, Christian, patriot, it was his to complete the circle of human virtues and to fill the measure of inteEectual prowess. Everywhere equal to everything lie tried to do, and trying to do only what his great heart told him was right, he too feE in the arms of victory on the heights of Fredericksburg, in sight of the house where his mother was bom. “Par no- bile fratrum /” One thought, Mr. President, and I have done. If, while struggling with poverty, fed by Georgia, when fed at all, with a niggardly hand, our Alma Mater has produced such sons as these, what wiE she not accomplish when enriched with that endowmeut of a million of money for which our hearts now pant, and which our hands must secure for her? Sir, mingling our hearts together in love for her around this festive board, let us pledge our hands to the work, and with one vigorous, determined, united effort, each in his place, yet all together, we shall lift her above every want, and make her rich in endowment and enlarged ca pacity for good—the equal of the proud est University in all the land. lars per acre, are now commanding from one hundred to one thousand dollars per acre. The building of street railways from the center to the circumference of our city, along the main thoroughfares, wiE give a great impetus to the building up of villas and suburban settlements. In order to accomphsh the greatest results, in this direction, it is desirable that those who hold lands, in excess of their own wants, should seE such surplus to those who wiE improve and cultivate them. Progress. WASHINGTON CORRESPON DENCE. MARKET HARDENING! NEAR ATLANTA. VEGETABLES—FK.UITS—JO AIRIES. ACTUAL RESULTS. By inquiry of Dr. O. J. Register, of this city, who has had several years ex perience in raising vegetables for the Atlanta market, we have been famished by him with the following facts, with reference to the product of five acres of land cultivated in the several articles named, aE of which were sold in the At lanta market. The five acres were subdivided, as fol lows: - . . . One acre, first crop, 10,000 early York cabbages, sold at 10 cents eacb $1,000 00 Same land, Becond crop, 200 bu. turnips, 75 cents per bush.. 150 00 Value of product $1,150 00 3d acre, first crop, 250 bush.

"What has been accomplished by Dr. Register can -be done by other gar deners of intelligence and industry.— Every acre of land within five miles of Atlanta should be placed in a thorough state of cultivation, without delay, giving to the city one magnificent garden, thirty miles in circumference. ORCHARDS. We are informed by gentlemen who have given special attention to the science of pomology, that an acre of land set in the best varieties of apple trees wiE uro duce, when in full bearing, 600 bushels of apples, or more, worth in the Atlanta market from one to two doEars per bushel Say one dollar per bnshel $600 One acre in standard pears, 400 bushels, worth about $2 per bnshel in this market, say $1.50 per bushel... 600 One acre of dwarf pears, 300 bushels, $1.50 per bushel 450 One acre in peaches, 600 bushels, $1.00 per buBhel 600 One acre in other fruits 500 $2,650 650 From this must bo deducted for cultivation, marketing fruit, &c., say Leaving as net profits $2,000 It is said that strawberries wEl pro duce 1700 gallons to the acre, worth from one to two dollars in the Atlanta market— say one doEar—§1700; from which ex penses must be deducted—say §300, leaving a net profit of §1400. THE GREATEST PROFITS may be obtained, however, by combin ing a dairy farm, orchard and vegetable garden. This combination would sup ply the gardens with manure and the laborers with milk and butter, and a large surplus for the market; the dairy, perhaps, yielding enough income to pay the current expenses of the whole estab lisliment. Fulton County is capable of producing all the milk, butter, fine fruits and vege tables consumed in the Atlanta market, thereby keeping at home, for the im provement of her local interests, and the enhancement of her wealth, hundreds of thousands of dollars annuaEy, which are now remitted to distant markets in pay ment for these products. If produced at home Jresh, choice butter, fruits and vegetables wiE be abundant, and there will no longer exist any necessitv for the nse of the stale (and often unhealthy) vegetables and butter now sold in oiir market. Atlanta is now a large city, aud in ten years from date may number one hun dred thousand in population. Handsome fortunes have been realized from the growth and extensions of the city already.

At the time I write, numerous, and (as the partisan newspapers have it) “as tounding” frauds, peculations, stealings, (or “irregularities,” as they are sometimes termed, according as the shoe pinches,) are rife. The “crop,” as to its vast yield now harvesting, wiE have been reported to yon long before this letter reaches At lanta; hut a fresh “crop,” as the New York World terms it, wiE be ready for the sickle to suit aE conveniences of let ter-writers. The land is as fertEe as the banks of the Nile. In truth this topic fur nishes a never-failing means by which I could if I chose, give a freshness to my let ters, merely by an un derstanding between me and The Sun Office, to the effect that my remarks to-day, for example, should be made to apply to another set of thieves unearthed a week hence!—for they are aE plain cases of larceny. “Astounding” frauds, indeed! Why should they be thus characterized ? Has there not been an “astounding” war waged against the Constitution, since the against secession was over? And does not this fact, pet' se, ‘furnish an am pie covering for the multitude of trans gressions against the seventh (7th) com mandment, which we daily witness ? I should Eke to he informed what outrage “this late infernal war” would not justify. Everything, however, by Radicals, is laid to the charge of the Secession war! I heard a man, the other day, solemnly declare that the enormity of Mormonism was attributable to Seces sion: and he easily got rid of the- anach ronism by supposing the seeds of the disease to be floating about in the air, after the manner of the passage of the cholera, at the time Joe Smith estab lished his temple at Nauvoo. So we are met, on every hand, by excuses for aE manner of political heresies, of the greatest importance, by the cry of the “legitimate results of the Secession war! The 14th and 15th amendments are claimed to be results of this war, when it is knewn that they are nothing but claimed results of the late war against the Constitution. Did it never enter into the thick skulls of politicians (North and South, East and West) that there can be no social honesty where there is universal and glaring political profligacy in the admin? istration of Government- ? Law may jus tify thefts, as it did in Sparta, and thereby elevate dexterity into something like a virtue; hut at this day—the day par ex cellence of Christian progress—is it not out of place and time to recognize Mer cury as the presiding deity of onr glo rious Republic ? But aE this, although somewhat to the purpose, is not point blank to the pres ent issue. I have known all along that the public thieves, not only among the High Priests of our common opponents, but among a class of men within what is esteemed the controUing influences of the Tammany Ring of so-caEed Democrats, were solely bent r upon plundering the public—sometimes by connivance with the enemy, and at others acting alone, but always by the help of a gaping and wondering crowd of fools and paid para sites of either side 1 These very men who, long before the current disclosures, were named by me as the heads and authors of the “New Departure” vE- lainy, are shown, by recent develop ments, to be the very heads and fronts of the culminated rascahty which altogether with others, brands this Federal Repub Ec as little better, if any, than a single people governed on aE sides by unbridled power, cemented byr profuse expenditure of stolen money either purloined from the General Government, the State gov ernments, or the municipal governments —wherever these miscreants happened to have a fancy and a'power to operate! All this, it is said, is the legitimate effect of the war against secessionl Every crime is sheltered and excused under that sub terfuge. It will take, I fear, almost supernatural power to stir the honest masses, so plundered and paralyzed as they seem to be, by the gigantic strides to power of the moneyed monopolies in the hands of unscrupulous despots. I had intended in this letter to go fur ther into-detail. It is known that the New York plunderers own (bodEy) the New York World. It is further known— and I say it advisedly—that the very men now under trial at New York, established and note own the Washington Patriot! learn also that they have a controlling in fluence over the Richmond Enquirer, LouisviEe Journal and Montgomery Ad vertiser—-sll red-hot “Departure” prints, But I will reserve further disclosures. ^ Cato'.

And in this sort of warfare the Massa chusetts editois also seem to be at home. They have now got somebody whom they can lampoon without fear of personal chastisement.

In other words, the Democratic party of the city and country must be re-organized by an edict of the Demo cratic party of the State.
