4. THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN. THE DAILY Saturday Mousing October 7, %The Louisville Courler-J#nr*aI aid its Proposal to Discuss with the Sun the Issue Made in the Sun’s article of the 19th of September-, Entitled “The Great Issue- Involved in the Co it test of 1S7S, and the Uni ty of the Democratic Party.” By Jour/' was lvpnbii stn nblw.lv _ mishap the Courier- 23d September, in which -d our article above alluded to, with its eT-uiHiit.-: upon it, did uot reacl-. nununiil within the last two days. This will explain the reason oi the delay on our part in replying to those com ments, and the proposal therein con tained ti> discuss with us “the issue made" in onr article of the 19th September. It Trill be recollected by our readers that the greett issue presented by us ip that ns in these words: it b artic ‘•It unit fco admitted toy tha friends oi C." mstitu- "ticmal :l). r:y o.i rywiiere in tliif country, that, all "OthSr question j .i l.tlin chirf and vital issue in "the political 'contest next year, in the Unitcil States, -"will b- OuMtitationMm, or the preservation oi the "Federal Union or 8>atca, on the one aide, and Cm- “tralisrn, or the consolidation of the whole of the "people of all the States, into a Despotic Empire on - ‘theother.” The foregoing is tha,dislincl and square issue we made, upon which, it was insist ed that there should be unity in the Dem ocratic Party. Nothing more and nothing less. We also, in the article, maintained that a majority of the masses of the De mocracy in the^Union is with rm upon the principles involved in this issue, and that there should be unity and harmony upon it. The overwhelming evidences and proofs adduced that a majority of ■tho party is with us on this great issue, tbo Courier-Journal does not undertake to assail, except by simple denial. That Journal, however, in a double-leaded ar ticle, assails our position, aDd the issue thus made by us, in the following words, -which are given in full. The Issue. In order that rational peoplo may know precisely what sort of enterprise they aro asked to engage in, vro print in full the moat recant manifesto of Mr. Stephens against the "New Departure." Mr. Ste phens makes the issue as distinct as it can be made, lie win havo no unity except upon the basis of tho repudiation—no matter by what process—of the Constitutional amendments. He does not ask a sus pension of debate, and he refuses ail compromise with whnt ho holds to be an infamy—that is, the _ ,l ficw Departure.” "U/rjft -viow -Departure" simply proposes to leave ? the -Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments unmo lested Where they stand in tho Constitution, repeal ing the obnoxious laws of Congress passed by their sanction, and granting universal amnesty. Mr. Stephem will not bo satisfied with this. He Is for wipin i out tho amendments altogether. Those who do not go with him to the full extent of his scheme »ro not Democrats. There is no half-way point. T.r- -New Departure”nncncBUxau. Thcrepudia- ti>u of the Fourteenth and Filteenth amendments i« the only hope of free, constitutional government. This is Hr. Stephen’s issue, Hanaro and plain; and he claims that the Northern Democracy are with - him. 'Ho haB also claimed since onr August election Shat ''ontneky’s majority for Leslie means that and nothing else. TV e are n .ad to havo tho issue thus squarely stated. We contest it. TVe say that Mr. Stephens’ entire premise is falsa and hi3 whole plau is revolutionary, ruinous and impossible. His assumptions in regard to the Northern Democracy and the proprietary claim he has set up as to tho Kentucky Democra cy are equally wild and unfounded. Each of the words we write is measured—they era ment to be precise, not discourteous—and we propose hereafter to discuss the question with Mr. Stephens ou the issue mads by him. Ho is ontsido of all National Democratic lellowshlp and sympathy. His theoret ical view cf the question is debatable, but purely •abstract. His practical view of it is sheer lunacy, llis prophecy that grass would grow in the streets of Now 1'ork was not crazier than this plan for the overthrow of tho Iiadicais. A moro unsafe counsel lor, in short, could not possibly bo secured by the Democratic party if it had the pick and choice of all the lunatic asylums in the world. As a principle in the ethics of government, Mr. Stephens absolutely misconceives and mistreats tho wholo question. As .a principle of action, he advances a proposition which is a burlesque upon the common senso and • ordinary intelligence oi tho time. Now, if he has any followers in Kentucky, let them declare themselves as explicitly as' their leader, aud • organize at once. They have tho law laid down to them, anil nothing else will suffice. The repudia tion of tlic amendments is the one sole issue before s the country, and tho only thing for the followers ol _Kr. Stephens Is to decide upon the method. They 1 have only to determine whether they will agitate s-to repeal*them, or whether they will declare them .null and void, pledging themselves to disregard them if they arc placed in power, aud making this -tho terms of their appeal to tho American people. This article of Mr. Stephens will be republished 1>y every Radical newspaper in this country. It will be circulated all over the North as a powerful Kadi- cal campaign document. It cannot ho evaded, but must be met. Tho Democracy of Kentucky must accept it or they must repudiate it. TVe repudiate it. TYo lefuee to accept it. Ard wo earnestly ask those of the Kentucky press who aro equivocal in their position as to the amendments to do one thing or tho other—either to help us put down this wau- •tonaudmad folly or to support it boldly, so that tho Democratic party raiy know exactly where they stand, and bo able to relievo itself of all resp nsi- .bility for their acts. “Notv, in onr article, Tvhicli isliere so 'broadly assailed, what is there about the “New Departure” and the so-called Con . -stitutioiml Amendments ? This is the sum of it: Upon what, then is it essential that they mnst first i be unite-.! f Unquestionably upon the siosl rotaf ques tion or issue involved in tho contest. There can be no proper union in action until there is perfect union in sentiment on this point. We make these remarks in answer to quite a num ber of our cotemporaries, who speak with so much earnestness in behalf of unity on tho part of the Dem ocratic party; and occasionally refer, directly or in directly. to The Sex, as one cf tho Southorn “im- practical:- s” and “extremists,” 4c. Now, to all sncli we say, that we think their zeal is beyond their knowledge. They either do not under stand ur, or do not understand the difference be tween ns and those who advocate what is styled tho ‘•new departure.” We aaiocate unify with all the earnestness at onr command. but unify upon tbe cfsenfiaf question in volve 1 in the contest—iurity, in opposition to these nturjxiti i s by the ruling dynasty—which clearly show its purpoad to be to e.-tablish a centralized cm- j,ira in boa of the free institutions established by -the fathers; while tho “new departnrists” advocate unity upon an acceptance as “finalities," and an in dorse wo of as •Verities" and “rightful acts,” of those usurjiatorr meantrts, which so clearly show the ulte rior purpose -i and real designs of the party now in power, aud from whose grasp the liberties of the country must be rescued, or all will be inovit&bly lost. Now, waiving the question of what is the rent object of thoso calling Oiemsetres Democrats, who ad vocate t . j- -ticy of the “new departure” movement, we would, at this time simply ask if anything conld ’ be more '-impracticable" than the adoption of such course as they recommend, with the view of thereby arresting future usurpations? Can pov.-er of tyranny ever be displaced, either by yielding to its demands ov sanctioning its crimes by open approval? The foregoing extract, we suppose, contains tbe matter upon which are pred icated all tbe denunciations of the Cour ier-Journal againsT tbe article of The Sun alluded to. From all tbis ; SUN.’ Journal, is therein openly avowed. If we misunderstand the position of our co temporary, we vish to be corrected. If we understand the Editors of the Courier-Journal, they are not for unity in the Democratic Party against fire usurpa tions, upon which the “fraudulent amendments” rest solely for their existence, because they do not believe that they were usurpations. Are we right in our understanding of the position of the Courier-Journal on the subject? They propose to discuss with us th§ questions presented in our article of 19th Septem ber. Let as then distinctly understand what is the question to be discuss3ed. We have maintained and do maintain that the usuipations, by which the 14th and loth amendments, so-called, to the Con stitution were most glaring, foul and flagitious. Does the Courier-Journal join issue with us on this point ? We also have maintained and do main tain that no amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States, reding solely upon usurpation for its existence, is a valid part of the fundamental law of the land. Does the Courier-Journal join issue with us upon this point ? We also have maintained and do main tain that, whenever a case comes before any court, under “Enforcement Acts” or “Ku-Klnx Bills,” involving the validity of these stupendous frauds upon Public Liberty, it will be not'only the right but the duty of the Court to hold them to be utterly null and void ! Does the Courier-Journal join issue with ns on this point ? Is this position of ours what he styles the “revolutionary” “plan” of “Mr. Stephens ?” It is true this is one of very many effi cient modes which, as we maintain, the people have of gelling rid of the tyranni cal operation of those measures, but, wherein is it, or either of the others, Rev olutionary? We want a specific answer to this. Moreover, we ask wherein is any of our premises false? The Courier-Journal says our “entirepremise is false." Will our cotemporary show wherein, in a single particular, it is either false, or un tenable ? We have noticed the article of the Courier-Journal, copied above in full, and accept the offer, therein made, to discuss the questions presented in our article of 19th September, with the sole purpose of promoting the public good; and with no intention of bandying epithets with that Journal. Whether tho truths, as we holdthem to be, which we proclaim andmaintain,are in deed nothing but the emanations of “sheer lunacy," as our cotemporary announces them to be, in “measured” and “precise” language; or whether “the propositions” adduced by us rests upon “a principle of action,” “which is a burlesque upon the common sense and ordinary intelligence of the times,” we will, very contentedly, leave for that intelligence to judge for'it- self. ' ^ ft But, if the Courier-Journal has no better answer at command to show that Mr. Stephens’ plan for “the overthrow of the Radicals,” is utterly “crazy," than the prophecy made by him, to which he re fers, the Editors of that paper had better be looking to the soundness of their own upper story. Mr. Stephens never made any such prophecy as that gras3 would grow in the streets of New York. Tbe “entire premise" of our cotemporary in this particular, is entirely without founda tion. Mr. Stephens never uttered any such nonsense as that. We, moreover, think onr cotemporary will prove to be quite as frail a prophet, as be unwittingly sup poses Mr. Stephens to have been, in his assertion that our article would be “re published in every Radical newspaper in the country." Our articles are just what Radical newspapers, generally, do not republish; and if our cotemporary has seen, or shall, see, that one in a single Radical sheet, from Maine to California, he will oblige us by sending it to us. We receive a goodly number of Radi cal exchange*—as many, perhaps, as the Courier-Journal—and we have never yet seen a single article of ours republished in a single one of them. The republica tion of an article of ours in a Radical sheet is what we never expect to see. A. H. S. £Frem the Columtras Sun October 3rd, 1871.] Mr. Stephens and liis Enemies. We call the particular attention of our readers to a portion of a reply made by Mr. Stephens to a correspondent of the Augusta Constitutionalist. The enemies of Mr. Stephens being completely foiled in their puny efforts on the field of argu ment, are now forced to lie low, or resort tc the greatest misrepresentations or the vilest forgeries. Almost every new depar ture parper we open teems with person al slang and political slander against this pure man and patriot, who to-day occu pies the very ground but lately deserted by his present villifiers. They imagine vainly, that if the high mark at which they aim can be hit with their poisoned shafts, that the true principles | to law and liberty which he illustrates, -ien, i | ^jj f a p vvitli him and die. Their shots, “Somehow or other, his voice for open war is no longer heeded up this way.— Down in Columbus, Georgia, the Daily Sun, of that city, keeps up its firing, banging away as often as Mr. Stephens gives the order.” Here, in less than five lines, two dis tinct falsehoods are asserted. Mr. Ste phens was never an advocate for “open war,” except against rogues and royal ists,” and it. is well known here, what ever may be unknown among the mum mies of Memphis, that we were “firing and baDging” at such cattle as the Ava lanche years before Mr. Stephens assailed the vermin now gnawing and crawling over the social and political bones of the South. As an old Clay and Webster Whig we have received few “orders” from Mr. Stephens to “bang away,” but when we differed with him, we never fired the first piratical shot into his colors, always floating plainly to the breeze.— We never misunderstood or affected to misunderstand his position, for his mind is so clear, and his language so terse, that if we did have occasion to misrepre sent him, we would rather suspect our own prejudices and stupidity, than a want of ability in Air. Stephens to make himself understood. »-• < SUN-STROKES. The arrest of Brigham Young was a harem scare ’em sort of business.

Parton [Mr. Fanny Fern) is said to be fond of lecturing, and the only reason why he cannot - make lecturing profitable to him is, audiences cannot be found who are fond of hearing him lec ture. The New York Sun devotes an en tire column to the great national ques tion—“Does Grant get drunk ?” The public would, no doubt, manifest more interest in the question—Does Grant get sober—and if so, how long does he stay so ? ^ A Newark paper, noticing the death of Henry Sanderson, the pianist, concludes with the following verse, which is possibly better in conceit than it is in theology: “If piano music’s ever heard in Heaven, And Harry’s faults forbid him there to go, The miniBteriug angels will come get him— He can’t he spared to go below.” B@L»Grant lias gotten miffed at Catecazy, the Russian Minister, and asks the Em peror to recall him. The Emperor is Czar-ry that his Minister should he an Envoy so extraordinary, and asks that he be tolerated until after the visit of the Grand Duke. In the meantime Grant will refuse to see Catecazy, except in company with Alexis. USSf* The Atlautic Mouthly, excellent Radical authority, estimates that, during the year 1870, the people of the United States paid, in taxes, to the general gov ernment, ten dollars and sixtwo-two cents a head; and yet the party that collected this^enormous tax has the' effrontery to come before the people, asking support, at the ballot-box, from the producers and working men of the country, who have this tax to pay. Theodore Tilton asks, “Shall our daughters bo allowed to read the works of the great masters of literature, which contain passages and allusions of an ob jectionable character ?” There is some donbt about a correct answer to this con- nundrum; but, if tbe choice lay between “tbe works of the great masters of litera ture” and the “Life of 'Victoria Woodhull” by Theadore Tilton, tho verdict would be unanimously in favor of the former, as the least damaging to morals and good taste. Morton, it-seems, has also been dabbling in “grease.” While he was Governor of Indiana “he made contracts for sanitary supplies for his State troops in the Western army, which accounts were shortly after paid by the Quarter master General. In the settling of the State account with the general govern ment, these accounts were found charged up and were again paid. This little game has been now discovered, and steps will be immediately taken to inquire into tbe course of this irregularity.” STATE MATTERS. his congregation without a minister.

Col. T. C. Howard at Gainesville. Col.

Not having a large audience in the morning—the hour appointed-—at the suggestion of some one, the address was deferred until evening, when town and country exerted themselves until the court house was filled to overflowing. To the farmers ho spoke of the natu ral advantages afforded in that mountain ous country for sheep-raising; of the al most miraculous fruits of the use of fer tilizers, and adjured them to arouse themselves in the growing interest mani fested in scientific farming everywhere, until many of the most prominent citi zens of the place thanked him, and again resolved to revive the drooping spirits of their agricultural society. The ladies were not overlooked, but received wholesome advice, for which they showed their_ appreciation by their smiles and applause. Col. Howard has done a good work for the Atlanta Fair.
