([tkqnipli ($<£B*ssen$et SATURDAY MOB.KIXQ. DEC. «. 1*71. Hon. A. II. Stephens na<l His Reviewers. Editor! Telegraph and Messenger ii not tho object of this articl public'y exj.r.-sii in; por.-ona.! eateeem which U well known to him— to promote my aim or ambition lie may cheriah ; or to vindient.' Mr. St«*phena merely fur hi* lake. It is not the object hen- to expreis any personal Opposition to him—to him S* a Repiv-.ntative, or to ob«tract any plan*, public or private, which h may bav.- in view. Disclaiming any such motive, I ftTOsr the purpoio- to treat tho ■abject, as under.sto.,1 by me, in the it terest of onr j>oopU-, and in doing *o shall Ntlt, on tho one hand, to avoid being unfair, ami, on the other, being un faithful. If Mr Stephen* is the patriot ha ha* l»-en i teemed, ho will not drum tho purpose hero expresaed, to up hold tlie trio-intt-rest of his people. If be is the lover of candor and truth he has ever profet -d to 1-e, and most of hi quaintonce believe him to be, he will not hastily censure tins attempt to critici: hi* action as a Representative. The diameter os well as tho wUdow of our rej»n- '•ntstivt* men forma no ineon tiderublc part of tho national wealth part not to be dissipated or marred with out mat rial hurt to the whole people. And in this < onui - tion I do not intend to include all men whom fortuitous circum- ittanoo* have places 1 in high official sta tion. There are many weak and de praved inen brought to tho surface who hirea aickly an 1 .['Iwmcral political lif. and pact away into merited oblivion Tho li-t of men of whom I speak em brace* but few. We all know how the puhlie heart of tho South was lacerated and bl»*d when tho public mind settled down in t)i*• conviction that Longntreet had, for place and gain, turned his back upon hla brave com rod* *8; and the public right hand drew a huge block mark •rroM tho halo Ills prowess and genius had caused to envelop him. Wo all can well remember the burning word* <-f Beauregard in 1801—hurling from before tho Confederate people tho (also imputation that he wa* seeking presidential lienors—"Office-holding is the kunut of civic honors, and office-seeking the meanest of civic occupations." Could any of us at that time liavo imagined that he would over ao long for tho flesh yds of federal place and power, as to il lustrate in himself his own caustic defi nition by turning liis back upon tho peo- plo of Louisiana f What if Joo Johnston should forget that ho is Southern; that hi* world-wide fame rose like magic from the red tido of Southern blood, and is stereotyped in tho firo of Southern affoc- tian ? Can any man imagino the depth of tho wound or the agony of tho popular grief, and tho permanent injury to South ern character, if by any means dishonor had befallon General Leo ? Tho <amo is true in the political de partment. Wo can't afford for Jefferson Davis to provo before be dies that public confidence in tbo stability of his charac ter, the sincerity of his heart and tho pu rity of his patriotism was misplaced. The whole people would suffer in his downfall. Wo liavo living other repre sentative civilians, among whom I class the distinguished Georgian whose name head* this article. And wo repeat of him that wo cannot afford that he should call down upon himself, from truthful bps and with just cause, tho reproaches of those who havo delighted to honor him. I say just cause, such os would bo the truth of the charges now commonly heard, that he has taken a departure; and tend* directly to* affiliation with and championship of President Grant, and his administration. It is easier to uiako such charges than to defend him against thorn, for tho rea son apparent to many not socking ex cuses for him, tlint he has often sooined to travel out of his path to minister to the vanity of the rating Federal Despot. 11c has his own head and heart, and must abide the sequences of his action. Ho has hoard the thunder of opposition and seen tho lightning flash of party hatred. He lias tasted tho sweets and received the rewards of public npproral. If ho tow the wind there is no man with a steadier norvo to roap the whirlwind. And if it only affected him individually, ter matter would bo unimportant to tho great body of tho peoplo. Hut as a representative man placod in high station at his own request, ho has no prerogative to blur the beauty of Southern character, lacerate tho South ern heart and load his own peoplo with shamo, by bravely defying tho public, judgment, ignoring the publio will, and outraging public taste and Rcntiment— ail of which lie would effectually do by d citing that of his section and friends and going to the camp of their political Lies, and there, seeking monocles for his limbs; and in his old ago to consecrate himself to the corruptions of tho Jicpub- li-'.m party nnd the tyranny of a central ist and despot. We. the people of Georgia and the South, cannot afford the sacrifice in pub lic worth that would follow such stupen dous folly as this on his part. We can’t afford to’believe that such charges have any tenable reasons for their support. It may lie that the Southern pros* has a delicate responsibility in reference to him in view of his intractable course, and manife t temper. It will not do to allow him to go, much less to drive him to the loathsome embrace and confine him to the political fellowship of Southern rene gades mul Northern fanatics. We suf fered enough from such a courso in the loss of ox-Governor Brown. And we came near sacrificing Mr. Hill, one of tho most gifted men in intellect which the State, in this age, lias produced—whose errors, like those of Mr. Stephens, were too promptly referred to a disposition to betray tlio So ith nnd to form an alliance with her tmducers and oppressors. Mr. Stephens is no traitor to friend or section, and could not be while Providence spores his brain and heart- Forvi.ll my hypoth esis of his action and his motives implies hi perfect sanity, and of course would yield to satisfactory evidonee that disease hi 1 involve! his brain, and that the light of his reason were flickering. In such an event os that we would hope his friends have not so far lost influence with him as to be nnable to dissuade him from hold ing public office. I repent—it weie im- possiMe for Alexander Hamilton Steph ens. war. to betray any trust, wilfully. liis charity embraces all mankind when appealed to through the approved channels of approach. His resentment, vh.cn acting on what liis noble nature re gards as just cause of offence, knows no limits in tho objects of its assaults. It involves men, parties and governments, and no limit in its aims short of an un- ronJitbnal recognition and correction of ku cause of complaint. IN hen acting under resentment, his reason roams over different fields and his conclusions are •Maooad with a philosophy just ao con tentious. but greatly differing from the --'Jib-like gentleness of Mr. Stephens un disturbed. Among the just causes of his n-'- ntment is the disregard of his advice and counsel. There is no man living to whom an in dividual, or party, or government could apply for advice—with greater assurance of getting it—founded on learning, no tion, and enlarged understanding, and 1 vomnted by unselfish devotion to truth. But there is scarcely a graver offense than io refuse to take and act upon his advice. I here is scarcely a limit to hi* resent- ment to such an offense. This is tho key unlock the mystery of his extraordinary ju-'hts un man; public occasions of his hfe. And it Is not a fault that lies at the d «r of his sincerity. It is organic and ®-Strolling. Liko all men of extraordi- um-y genius, he is and ever has been, a i 31 **_of extraordinary weaknesses, which, 5* his case, implies no want of sincerity or fidelity. It is uot every error of judgment that |bould brand a statesman with Infidelity !° his country, loved as this has ever ■s'vn by bitn. If erratic action on impor tant publio matters bad been conclusive evidence of »asonify, there ore at ’oast a •core of occasion* in hie long public life when he could have been caged in the asylum. Mr. Stephens combine,i two very rare faculties. One is to tclieve without a doubt that his opinion uml judgment are right. The other is to carry out his convictions of duty at the time. He has a quality of mind still more rare than either of these, if indeed he is not it* sule proprietor. It is) his nettled conviction that, upon all matters of State, and relating to political parties, he never was mistaken, and never committed an error. This is the affirmative he has he roically, and with marvelous show of suc cess, maintained withjtongue and pen, in public and private, for years past. And he has been, while frequently wreng, so often right as to efford a reasonable ex cuse for this extraordinary delusion. If all he says of the notable "salary grub” were literally correct, it is some what difficult to perceive any satisfactory reason, strictly in harmony with his fidelity to his section and party, and his opjxwition to the Republican part;;, why he should have leaped to the front and signalized his re-entry upon the arena of Congressional debate, by a set defence of that measure—unless, indeed, lie luid such n caroethes lorpiemU as made delay in.suf- for.it-le, and him, then and ther - t'nrs- prestihle. For no doubt every mac ercopt Mr. Stephens lias seen in the proceedings of the House many questions more suita ble for a great statesman to invite the criticisms of tho nation to himself upon than the defence of this generally de nounced public villainy. Not only is tho subject i)I-chosc:i—but tho argument volunteered in defence of tho odious measure, is untenable. Tho gravamen of his speech is that 'die act granting an increase of pay to tho mem bers of Congress—and making it retroac tive—is constitutional. If ho had said such an act wn3 not lit erally prohibited by the organic law, it ould have been true. But interpreted by the spirit and intent of tho Constitu tion, his conclusion is not correct. It is true, there is no direct prohibition in ex press words, against such an act. Butin the samo section of tho Constitution that requires compensation to be paid out of the Treasury of tlio United States to members of Congress (Art. 1, See. G), also prohibits them " to Iss appointed, during the time for which they were elected, to any civil office, under tlio au thority of the United States, which shall have been created, or tho emoluments whereof shall have been increased dur ing such time,” evidently intending to cut off all temptation of members to create offices or to enlarge salaries by their own votes, to promoto their own personal gain. Such grossness, ns that now under review, was perhaps not an ticipated, and therefore, not expressly provided against. Still there is enough expressed to guide us to a safe conclu sion. Tho words of tlio Constitution are: The Senators and Representatives shall receivo a compensation for their services, to he ascertained by law, and paid out of tho Treasury of tho United States.” To ascertain, as understood and used by the framers of the Constitution, was an expressivo phrase, and had os distinct a meaning as any nsed in tho instru ment. It meant to make certain, to fir, to estab lish. Will Mr. Stephens contend that because there is no literal prohibition, the pres ent Congress may legally ascertain by law the rate of his compensation for the fif teen years—from 1843 to 1868—idding $3,000 a year, making $16,000, and legally cause that sum paid him now, out of the United States treasury? Why no;? Be cause tho rato of his compensation was at tho time ascertained by law. Ho served tho country at that rate, received com pensation at that rate, and so tho matter ended. Would it not bon corrupt grab, if thcro wero men onough in this Con gress who had served in any previous Congress, to pass a law to ascertain the rato of their compensation for their past sorvices? Why not? Tho' Constitution no where says, in words, that such a thing shall not bo done. Suppose this Congress should seek by law to ascertain the compensation due the member's of the last Congress and fix it at $1,000—requiring the members to pay back all they had received above that sum ? Would it be right ? Why not ? Is there any restriction on tho power to diminish that does not apply to tho power to increase f Tho an swer is, that they entered Congress, served and received their compensa tion at rates ascertained by law, and the contract was executed and tho matter ended. So with tho salary grabbers of this Con gress. They entered, served, and re ceived their compensation at rates ascer tained by law, and when they went back and added to their salaries already ac crued and received they violated tho spirit of tho organic law, nnd outraged the public sense of justice. And Mr, Stephens, in liis attempt to defend^ it, has, in his own h”morous language, sim ply made a slipjxinre. Wo are hearing by press reports that THE GREAT REMEDY HOME PURPOSES.

I had tried a number of physicians, nnu had taken a large quantity of medicine, both alopathic and homcopatliic, but bad got no relief. I had rend o aatonisuiinc curss having been made bv your rem- edies. and *onie four months ago read a notice in tin' Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post of a cure haring been effected on a person whv had Iona Ixvn suffering as I had been.

Has tlie following Powerful Recommendations for Planters It is a genuine English made Manure, tho only one in the market, and manu factured by a company having a capital of $1,250,000, which sells ,10,000 tons annu ally, and has tho most extensive works of the kind in Great Britain, which have been in operation 2-t years. The Langdale, therefore, lias a good pedigree and is no experiment. It contains a larger proportion of chemical elements suited for the promotion of vegetable life, and especially of potton, than any other fertilizer offered in tho South. It is the best and safest Cotton Manure in tho market. Tho analysis given with the Mannro when sold will ho guaranteed. There shall be no mistake about tho genuineness of the article, nor tho good faith of tho vendors. It is tho cheapest Manure offered, as it contains nothing but what is of use in becoming plant-food, or by chemical action on the soil, producing the same. Tho tost of cheapness is not tho price, hut tho actual worth of tho articlo purchased. Low-priced Manure cannot contain efficient quantities of pure and valuable chemi cals, which can alone give worth to a fertilizer, and bring satisfactory results. Tho Langdale is as low in price as is consistent with tho uso of tho host ingredients, and a fair commercial profit on its cost. Tho employment of powerful machinery in mixing anil pulverizing the ingre dients prepares every particle for service, and prevents trouble in using. The Lang dale is unequalled in this respect, and impresses every one who sees it as a perfectly manipulated Manure. In its composition and preparation it is tho result of careful scientific research and experiment, confirmed by practical application for a quarter of a century. It will ho maintained at '.. present high standard, and is thus what planters have long wanted—a thoroughly reliable and safe Manure. THE MODEL MANURE AND PLANTER’S FRIEND. SFECIAI.
