■ •migration.
D uring the past iwo years the emigra
tion from this K'aie to Arkansas aud
Texas hus assumed i-ert« us d ensi.ms,
and if t s to continue in toe same ratio
in the future as in the past, the Suite will
feel the lo-s severely, aud the cai;s-
whion le to such an exod be
come a subject of inquiry among our
legislators. S& rcely a day pusses that
we do not hear o large parties leaving
different 8 the Suire to teek
elsewhere the support which seeius to be
deuied tnetu at homo. Iu several c.iuu
ties such numbers nave left os to have
removed all the uul 1 ndmarks.
Why is there such-un emigration from
tneS'-ut*-? The question is as m nous
as it is dffiicult ot answer. Here is a
couuty iu wuicb every natural advantage
Of health and fertility is to be found; it
which there are thousands of uucultiva-
ted acres; accessible by ml iu almost
every -»* ion; with educational
privileges and other amenities which go
far toward rendering life agreeable; iu
Which there is tbe fullest protection of
lif.-i aud property; and yet tue
people are daily leaving it to
86?k. a home in newly opeued settle-
m-uts, isolated from civilization, shut off
f r >m tbe world of lett-rs, where life is in

preciated. Aud the men w;io thus go
arc: the Very ones whom the State can
least afford to lose—the hones* sons of

understand the economv of agriculture,
and are truly the backbone of tbe com
monwealth. They are the wen who make
a State, and whose virtues would give
Stability to any community.
W c are satisfied that many of them
are following an ignis fntui, which is
leading them to ultima e disappoint
ment; and after giving up good homes
and fertile lands in Georgia, to meet re
buffs and failure in other States, they

Mb. Stephens fob United States
Senator. — We publish a well-written
cumfion:iie»t.iou from a gendeman ot
at. miuig aud ability, urging tbe policy
of electing Mr. Stephens to tbe United
Siu'es Senate.
We publish this, as we do many other
things, not because we agree with tbe
writer, but. because w * are ulways wnltng
to jive all shades of opiuiou a snowing
la our columns.
Wnilo we have, personally, as great, a
regard for Mr. S-ephensas anybody has,
auo f.-cl proud thut » Georgian poss Sa s
•■is great intellect, we do nou think be i>
the mat: for Senator at tins time. It
there was no other reason, his physical
condition, which wh all regrer, but can
uot help, for aas tbe idea that he w »ulu
be equal to tbe fierce contests of tbe
political arena.
But we nave other objections, ana
w.-ignty one*, too. The Legislature «»t
Georgia is a D m cratic body—their c*>u
s'ltueiits are Democratic—they want a
D m- cratic S**nutor. Mr. Stepheua bav
rag liobed the Democratic uomiuutioE
; for President at B.ill.mora, auo having
<lone more to defeat the movemeut to
ovt ribrow Rtdii alism than any other on
man, he cannot pretend to have auy
claims on the party as a patty. And tu,
manner iu which he auu bis rieudss'ax
tne cas is cot calculated to win over t'tos
who differed with h.m on a qu< stiou o,
pulicy. f uey bold out tbo id.-a that tin
overwhelming mass of the people bad quo

stood firm, aud that be i*uow wiilinirto
graciously pardon them and receive hern
Hack into the D< Ulwcutic fold 1 This, if
we uuders.aud it, isthepluiu English «>t
the mallei. The people, however, can
not see ir this w-*y. They know tbat thr
National Convention at Baltimore, c -m
posed of delegates from every. Gongr s
si"uul district in the United States, nom
inated Graeley with a uuau'iuity never
before witnessed; aud, whatever may
have been our private views, as to tuts
policy, we bold, ns tuo people do, and us
everybody bus done heretofore, tout i
was our duty, as party men, to abide ibe
actiou of th** National Gonveutiou. Cer
taiuly wo snail never ad nit tout those
who bolted were tbe only true men, uud
beg them to receive us buck into the
ranks.
It the two or three “Straits” elected
to tbe Legisiatu e, (b .eked by the 3,999
O’Couor votes iu the entire State), can
force the Legislature to elect Mr. Ste
phens, bis 1 rospect is brilliant.
We have not pretended to reply to our
corresp mient. We do Lot wibh to pri
voke a discussion on this subject. It we
did, we should take up Mr. Step!*ens’
past record, 'rum tbe defeat ot tbe Clay
ton compromise, down to his conversion
to Democracy, “bleeding Kansis,” se
cession, and finally, his wonderful lauda
tion 01 Gen. Grant.
A.though disabled from r articipatiug

tor. Mr. Stephens .an continue to make
himself useful, as he has done during t he
post three or f«»ur years in writing such
books as “The War Between the States,’ -
his “School History,” &c. He has shown
himself to be eminently qualified for each
labors. It is t».o la*e, and his physical
strength .s not eqnal to the task of re
entering the political arena, altbuagn
every Georgian is proad of his intellectual
achievements and nis purity of cnaracter
Communication referred to in the
above article by the WaUJinum :
Hon. A. H. Stephens for Senator.—
To the Editor of the Souhern Watchman:
I uesire your permission to addrass ycur
many readers touching the aupr aching
eleciion for United States Senator.
Though yon may differ with me in every
thing else, yet we will noth agree that
the subject is oue ol 6ucb importance as
to demand the most careful cons.dera
cau speak authoritatively, and reform on
disorgaiit/.ed auo shattered ranks. How
good aim lavorabie is our fortune, if w
hut put. forth onr he.mis and gra-=p it.
H's Health bas improved. Eveu when
id, he has great powera of endurance.
And the composition of the Wer between
the States—bis defense o the same—bis
eo'i-posiuon of his School History, and
his «-mp oyment us an editor, have b. eu
a com ioatiou of toil and labor to which
U Uuited S'ates Senator-hip iu compari

well pr pirea for Congress, nor so much

all the dunes of a Benutor tba_ be is now.

G orgiau who will charge Mr. Stephen*
with corruption* 1 Tho objection is re
peated in otuer words, and it is asserted
tbat Mr. Stephens did more to defeat
Gr eley than auy other mup in Ameucu.
Well, if he lias this potency, in He.,venV
name let us secure it tor ourselves, sine,
we Cau do so as now appears, without
auy sacrifice of principle—and let as in

fill possessor a member of the Senate
We said during the canvass that a.
GreeJey hud emancipated the blacks we
would let him try • is baud at freeing
tue wuites It Mr. Stephens can uo
make Presidents, wuy not put him in
place to unmake Gen. Grau r when h
stands for' fits third term. But f again
ask of the Gr- aVy men, width’ r will you
go? I ask y..u iu all seriousness, where
he place for you, s.ve iu .he ranks o
the Democracy—aud if you mnstgoto tb
D -mocracy, is it not your duty aud i iter
esr. to strengthen that party as much as
possible? Will y*>u “trangtnet, thar party
when yon spitefully stab its great leader,
ouly because be has stood always where
you vobrSelves have been obliged to come
:it last ? I appeal to all those with whom
[ voted for (Jreeley, will you oe so uu
just, so uumauly, so foolish, to prescrib
,ud put .luder the ban the one tiling
needful at this time, viz : political vision
I cauuot see why thc*e ootisiderati na
should 110 1 satisfy every Greeley man,
nut ll'rny reasoning is false, I aga*n as*
whither will you g >?
Thus stuuos the matter. The cause ol
tbefjbonth mast either be lost or won by
a political r volution. There are but.
two par les—one against us, and tbe
Democratic for. us. Now what kind of
men should tbe South exalt ,o Couyrass?
Plainly, il she wisues to help ti at pariy
which is her stay, those meu who bav,
tbe most exteusive reputations, and com
mand me wid, st American influence—
n >t uukuowu m n if she nave known—
not sec toual meu—men widely kuowu,
aud just the rev erst of se-tioual men.
If it were no f *r the temporary aud su
perficial v. xat 011 which tue Greelt-y
men now feel, ail of us would
see tbat Mr. Stepbeus is tbe best
man for tue place. Away with any
passion that blinds to the true interest.
He is in every respect tbe right ma-
for Senator. As his first qualification,
be is the prominent Democrat of the
duutry. Then J is whole career shows
him to bate tbat sagacity which never
guesses wrong, aud that tact which wtus
by always exciting as little opposition os
may be; in sbor , bis hie shows him en
dowed with tbe high- st genius for a
great party leader. Agam, he is temper
ate aud moderate, always coupling
suariler in modo with tbe fortite' in ra,
aud he is, therefore, tbe mau 10 heal all
breaches in that party by which we must
stand or fall, and the p oper man too to
a-suage, as far as a party leader can, the
bitterne-’S now lelt by the North aud
South towards each other. Next, his
iLflueuce, i he were in Corgress wi b
tue party opposed would be considerable
for our weal. No cne cuu doubt that he
wouid have tbe respect of tbe President
re-elect.
But I do not hesitate to say tba: Mr.
Stephens is tbe ablest of our statesmen.
He bas been tried and proveu. Review
• or instance our men of wealth in tbe
tS-mth. Many of those once prosperous
ure now bankrupt, it is true, but at least
ninety five per cent, of tbe middle-aged
men wbo still keep a characierfor wealth
or eveu solvency, are meu who had suc
ceeded in ousiuess prior to emancipation.
Many planters who ranked as lea ing be-
tore the war still bold their superiority.
Bo, likewise, the statesman who best un
derstood tne order of things before the
war. best underst'uds tnat prevailing
now, tor both ure connected though ap
parently so dissimilar. Oue grew out of
the other,
I believe that every honest man in
G«orgia would, if h’s cou>cieuce were
proved true, aud be has now more claim
to DetEocra>ic precedence than ever be-

The cause wa* htarj in Newport iu tha summer
of 187u. -nd th- views of the deteudants were sus

This doctrine went to the root of the matter. If
it were a .and, design patents were of no value, for
II is a,ways easy to vary the details of a work of rt,
and yet preserve the same artistic effect and tue
same results on the eye 01 tne observer. To suen
a rule the Gorham Company, ana i. deed, the line

reversed the doctrine of the Can t below.
The v&lne - f the doctrine ».f this decision to the
artistic progress of the country can scar, ely be m er-
rated. I vectors ol designs now stand on tbe same
level with inventors of machines. The beau’ilul
aria may now go into business aud vie with their
mechanics sisters in the euccessful pursuit • f
wealth. Il will now become more th«u ever for the
interests of the great silversmiths to aim at th* pro
duction of new and varied compositions, and to en
gage corps of trained artists to aid them iu their
competition. Fusiered aud sustained by the strung
arm of the law, wo may at lefigth expect to see
American manufactures as admirable for their
beauty as for their ingenuity.
For this important result the country must thank
tbe Gorham Manufacturing company, whoso cour
age and resolution have brought it about.
