She HJfJJtiftie gtontiial. H. C. RONBY, > _ J. E. WHITE. { tDmm Wednesday November 27, 1872. Hon. A.. H. Stephen*. Hon. A. H. Stephens was In Atlanta last week on a visit, being the first time he ha* been from home infowr veers His health has very much improv ed recently, although still quite lame, he is able to walk without much difficulty. The cordial wel cojne and respectful attentions shown him by all classes of citizens were as gratifying as they were deservedly complimentary to his great genius, statesmanship and patriotism. On Friday, the 22d, one hundred and eighty of the most prominent citizen* of Atlanta petitioned him to deliver a public addresa in that city, but business engagements prevented his compliance. Be has promised, however, to comply with their request on Wednesday night, December 3d. At lanta, in thus doing honor to the purest and great est of living statesmen, has reflected tenfold hon or on herself. * Prtwidunt Grant. Since the re-election of Gen. Grant to the Presi dency, the Press and the politicians of the country hare oxercised themselves no little in their ef forts to foretell his intendod policy towards the South—and to snrmise, speeulationa and opinions there is no end. The few words, and still fewer acts of forbear ance on the part of the President, arc, by the more sanguine, exagerated and magnified into grounds amply sufficient to convert a hope into a certainty, and a mild and lenient government of the South is predicted. They argue that Gen. Grant wilt dis regard the importunities and advice of political fanatics and tricksters, and mindful of tho name and fame which are to live after him, and secure In office for another term, will adopt a generous and magnanimous policy because he can so easily afford it. Again, those who regard his triumphant re-election as an endorsement by the people of an Administration remarkable for nothing but pnrti r.an rancor, sectional hatred and revenge, and the overwhelming defeat of Mr. Greeley as equivalent to the utter extinction of all civil and political freedom in the United States; in their dispair, can see nothing in the future of our country but cen tralized despotism, under tho flimsy garb of a Re jmblic. Among the numerous opinions advanced, these two are the principal, both of which, we think, are, to a certain extent, erroneous. A great majority of us evidently misconceive tho true character of the Pr aident, and fail to und r stand the principles and motives which govern his actions. To charge that ho is a stupid, drunken simpleton, is consummate folly ; and to say that he is a generous, conservative,magnanimous states man, worthy of the mantle ennobled by Washing ton, and Jefferson, anil Jackson, is an absurdity which runs into the ridiculous. But ho is certain ly a man of more than average intellect, avaricious, obstinate and selfish. The cardinal principle of his political faith is, that Congress, and not tho Constitution, is the supreme power, from whioh there is no appeal, and whose acts and behests ho ia compelled to execute, right or wrong, and re gardleaa of consequences; and U]xui this dogma of the Higher Law doctrine we base musMticf of his future policy. His convictions and sympr.thios were oniotHsi.LT, and are now, bxallt, with the 3outh, bocauso he knows that in tho late bloody Straggle we were battling for tho right; and willing ly would he execute any law of Congress tending to restore our rights and privileges, and relieve ns of the heavy burdens we are now compelled to bear. If in so doing, he would not sacrifice his personal ambition and his “insatiate greed t<fp place and power.” But from Congress, which is more than two-thinls Radical, it is vain for us/ to expect for bearance, much less justice; and Whatever laws they may enact in reference to tl.r South, Presi dent Grant will strictly execute, however cruel, de grading or unconstitutional they itoay lie, without once interposing his veto to sibield and protect ns. He unintentionally reveal oik the secret of his political faith whon ho declared that “tho next best thing to tho repeal of on / obnoxious law is to rigidly enforce it ’’ / Tins Caors.—There is a gl/eat deal of talk among the oitiasiis 01 tlie upper couiities of Georgia about emigrating to T.xar, Aik.ii-as and other Western States, in search of more tl r'.ile lande. If they will come down this way and examine our laud* and see our crop* we are rati To and that th-y will nb ind. don tb- idea.
