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, and Imrinony and good fellowship result. S T A f kTe'w S.

Warehouses crowed with cotton. Printing is an urt of much earlier dis covery Hum the days of Gulluuberg und Faust. Job was a printer—easily proved by induction.

It is the only college having authority to confer tlie de gree of XX V on a student in grad dating in tlie science.
