Wc yesterday made ulluvioin to the
speech of Hon. A. 11. Stephens, in Atlan
ta, on Friday night. Time nor space di 1
not permit more ; and even now wc lind
it impracticable to devote the space need
ful to a satisfactory notice of it, and mint
be, content with u lew points only
Mr. Stephens did not essay a speech, but,
in his own lungiuge, made a “little plaiti
talk, in a conversational way.” lie at
once corrected the impression that hud to
a certain extent gone abroad that bis up
poiutnient to mukc a speech was in view
of personal political aspirations, lie pro
nounced it a great error. His ruling mo
tive has ever been “to die debtor to the
world.” He explained why lie did not
keep his original appointment, which del
icacy and good taste did not permit ut the
time. Here nre his words
"Air. Greely’s obsequies were then lie
ing performed. I knew him well. Aly
feelings towards him personally were of
the kindest character, notwithstanding our
greut and wide differences politically.—
These differences were uh the zenith and
its antipodes. With all the honesty and
zeal of his nature, lie ever advocated prin
ciples tending to centralization. In the
opposite school of politics I hud been
reared. A discussion of these differences
was expected at the time of the appoint
ment for the address. The occasion, as it
turned out, was not thought by me to In
appropriate under the circumstances,"
This is but the third appointment which
iu this public life, of more than thirty
years, lie hae failed to keep. Air. Ste
phens first defined Ills position te Hie De
mocraey of the State ; lie clcurly proved
that no difference bad ever existed, save
in policy, and in which members have a
right to differ. He referred to results to
decide who was right, without reflecting
upon the patriotism of those who had
differed witli himself. Hut these matters
were now with dead issues of tlio past.
Hu spoke of charges preferred that bo was
a Bourbon, impractical, ultra, extreme,
etc. He pointed to results which satis
fied himself if tbo charges were true, those
with whom the destinies of the party were
placed were greater offenders. A.s for
being a Bourbon—one who never learns
nor forgets—he pointed to his record.
llow much lie bail learned bo would let
liis past lifo attest. As to forgettiug there
were somo things, it was true, lie hud not
forgotten, and lie hoped be never would,
110 hoped also tbut the people of this and
coining generations would never forget
uruotig other tilings the great principles
of Msgua Chat la ; the grand fuct that the
matchless systems of our government are
based upon the principle of a Federal
Union of separate independent States , tlia]
the germinal tdeu of lliis entire system is
the reserved, absolute right 6f local scll
governtnent, on the part of each, ol all
matters not specially delegated to the fed
erul bead for the common benelit of all in
their external relations.
Ills answers to tlic other epithets were
even more forcible and conclusive , after
which be turned from personal allusions
to speak upou the proper future policy of
Hie Democracy of Georgia, w ith whom lie
wus in run nccora, 11 “trey sinuu wuere
they have always stood In regard to (lie
great Aindaiaenlsl principles on which
public liberty in tkiscouulry rests, where
they stood in 1(170; where they stood in
duly last Ile referred lo the so-called ro
construction measures us authoritative—
although in Ids Judgmcut uuconstihition
u!—to be obeyed us er pounded by those
clothed with judicial power over them,
and to be assailed only through tlic peace
ful instrumentalities of the Constitution
the forum of reason and justice, and the
ballot. "The ulierations in the ad ml uis
trntion of all free governments require
time for complete rectification ; but with
patience, perseverance, virtue, intelligence
mid patriotism, ultimate rectification w ill
be Bure and certain," said Mr. Stephens,
and this Is tbs extent of bis ultra, imprac
tlcal, extreme, Hourbou, revolutionary
democracy. It rests upon the principle
that wrongs enu never be rigbled by h
voluntary saucllou on tlia part of a free
|>eople of notorious, gross, ttagtlious ami
admitted usurpations of power.
Mr. Stephens takes a more cheerful
view of the future than many. Among
tlic grounds for ids fsilb are a general
aw akening in the public tniud throughout
the entire country as to the nature aud
character ol the government, its origin,
objects, history and powers the basis of
our entire fabiic, as established by the
fathers, was tlio reserved right of cacti
State lo regulate iu entire domestic polity
as it pleases. and lie thinks there is nothing
to prevent the friends of the Constitution,
under the l uion, front Maine lo California,
from the lakes to Ihe gulf, from linnnotii
ously uniting iu a grand rally for the
rescue and perpetuation of the common
liberties of all. The very germinal idea
at the formation of the Union was the
joint action of all for the maintenance and
security of tlie great right of local sclt
govmunoul on the pari of each.
The recognition of our independence by
Great Uritaiu w* not that of the l uited
States a* one nation, but it was the recog
nition of thirteen separate and distinct
States or nations by name The United
States, it is true, do together constitute one
nation It is. however, a nation of nations.
It is far from being one consolidated ua
lion. This is what (lie centralists have
tevn attempting to effect from the begin
ning. Their object was openly avowed in
the convention at the formation of the
Constitution . hut the field is now ojvcu
for a rally of the lricads of the Constitu
liou everywhere tlic high and grand
mission of the Itcmocracy now is to make
til's rally. All ttiat is necessary for a
most triumphant success is intelligence,
patriotism and virtue on the part of the
people.
1 hough the Constitution may lie over
thrown and imperialism established in its
stead, and these principles he temporarilv
buried, ye* they will come up hereafter, I
for the political redemption of mankind. 1
Impel feet us is this synopsis,it is sufficient
to prove to the renders of the Enteepmse.
if indeed they needed proof, that the true j
Hies of patriotic statesmanship ure burn
ing us brightly us ever upon the sliur in
the person of Alexander II Stephens.
Muy they become universal in the land,

Mavor’s Office, Macon, December 10,1872.
IN addition to the usual inconvenience which
has been suffered by the public from the
prevalence of the horse disease, we now see a
complete blockaded condition of onr railroads
and the almost total suspension of all commer
cial business in our city for mere lack of street
transportation. This unusual state of affairs
suggests the want of some immediate relief,
both to the railroads and the merchant Upon
consultation, therefore, with the railroad au
thorities and the different dray companies in
tlie city, I hereby give notice to any and all per
sons ia the adjoining counties, that they are in
vited and requestedto bring in their ox-team?
and assist us in the dray Work of our citv for
the next two or three 'weeks, at the end ol
which time we hope to be able to resume toe
horse and mule labor. ...
Parties, bringing their oxen to the city win
be allowed to use them in the drai age of mi
goods FREE OF LICENSE. It i believed that
twemv to thirty teams could find constant
work here for several days, at good py‘ n S
