The New polltieftl Era. IfiT TEXiBGR-AJPH.
X. H. STEPHENS AND HON. HENRY WJJLSON.
MAOON, FRIDAY, JUNE 18,1869.
All Depends opoq Hr. Hoar.
The Constitutionalist _ debating'" the point
whether Georgia “ will be remanded” or not,
concludes there's not ranch danger, and the
Radicals have done their worst, in any event.
We say it all depends on Hoar! The State
of Georgia is waiting the Iegtfl opinion pf Sir-
Hoar. If Hoar says Georgia is a State—she is a
State; and if Hoar' ssffa Georgia is not a State,
she is not a State. The political wisdom of the
North has so simplified the plan and operations
* of the free, sovereign and independent States in
North America, that they are now any where
rAnd whatever a cabinet officer decides them to
be. The whole scheme has become a system of
puppets—a grand political Punch and Judy—to
stand and to do—to exist and remain, or die and
depart, just as the cabinet at Washington de
cides. ' Well saith Air. Stephens an his letter—
tbere is no difference between imperialism and
consolidation. Yes, perhaps there is some small
difference in favor of imperialism in this : That
under the Empire the responsibility could be
fixed somewhere, but under consolidation it is
hard to locate it. For example : Suppose Mr.
Hoar should be of the opinion that Georgia, as
a State, must die or is dead ? Who has killed
her—Congress—*Gen. Grant, orMr. Hoar?
The Hat Trade in Columbus.—'The Sun says
that in one hundred bales of Northern hay,
bought iff that city at two dollars per hundred,
forty dollars were paid for the wood which bound
the bales. . That is a little better than Macon
experience with Northern hay; but wo ought
ell to be made to pay blood money for being so
^‘trifling and no account,” as the darkies says,
nc; to import our hay from the North instead of
wiring it at home. Any man who will properly
.enrich- an acre of ground .and sow it down in
xpd glover and orchard grass, in November can
■cut two tons of hay from it, in May or June.
Tbere is eighty dollars to the acre for three
years jnado with very little trouble, after your
Ta-rfl is well fertilized and seeded. By fertiliz
ing, we mean fifty or a hundred wagon loads of
good stable manure to the acre. The land
broken up twelve inches deep and well dressed
withi phosphate and salt.
• The Wheat Oboe is Cheroeee and North
Georgia.—From a very intelligent and observ
ing gentleman, (says the Chronicle and Senti
nel), a resident of (jherokee Georgia, we learn
that the wheat is now being harvested through
out the upper portions of the State ; and that
ihe general yield will snipass for quantity and
-quality any previous crop grown there for
many years past. The crop, he states, will
tom out to be a most bountiful one, richly re
warding the farmers of that section of Georgia,
who had sown an area much larger than in pre
vious year. A few days now of fair weather,
?aa more wheat of first-rate quality will be har
vested than was even hoped for by the farmers
in that- wheat growing section. This is good
news—glad tidings—for which let ns not forget
to give thanks to a bountiful Providence. J
• The Warm; Smses.—This. famous old sum
mer resort-is now open for the reception of visi
tors. The present proprietors, Messrs, James
A. Frazier, (of the Rockbridge Alum,) Jno. W.
Warwick and Joseph Ligon have made improve-
-nients for the comfort of their guests. These
•Springs are situated in the midst pf the “Vir
ginia Mountains, ’' and in the locality so long
famous for the beauty and grandeur of its scen
ery,- and ite-delightful, salubrious and invigorat
ing climate,
: 'The waters of the Warm Springs have been
celebrated for their curative qualities for near
ly a centnry past. . .
The “Hon. Henry'Wilson, of Massachusetts,”
contributes an article to Frank Leslie’s last il
lustrated newspaper upon the “New Political
Era.” This era embodies only one idea—and
that is the equality of man—which is a false
idea as to the fact, everywhere throughout the
.universe of God, so far as we have any means
of information or knowledge. But the grand
idea of the new political era is being carried out
byGeh. Grant. "Mr. Wilsori cites the Macon
Telegraph in evidence as ..admitting that Grant
practically saying to ns in Georgia: “No
matter what may be your ideas on the subject,
we hold the negro to be eligible to office, and
mean.he shall have it.” And he also discourses
about the “poetical justice” of a negro Secreta
ry of State and negro officials of other kinds in
the land of Calhoun and Hayne! He squints
the endowment of the Indians with civil rights
and suffrage, although he confesses- to -some
difficulties on the subject; but Mr. Wilson does
not discourse upon the Chinese, .who will be the
next applicants by millions for the benefits of
this grand idea of the new political era. _ ,
We had thought of'printing Mr. Wilson to
day side by side with the letter of our own pro
found political philosopher and learned and
practical statesman, Alexander Hamilton Ste
phens, but had not space for both, nor would
there be.any value in the essay of Mr. Wilson,
excepttopointa moral or institute a comparison.
In the judgment of one of these men the
American Republic has' jnsttaken leave of fun
damental error and entered upon a new and
more glorious career, of safety, stability, pros
perity and beneficence; while the other,-in tones
of awful and portentous solemnity warns his
countrymen that the path they are traversing
with headlong speed can lead to nothing but a
terrible catastrophe. The one is all hope of the
political future—the other is all solicitude and
anxiety bordering on despair.
We have no doubts about the comparative
accuracy of these political diagnoses. Mr. ment
Stephens rest his conclusions not 'more upon
sound political knowledge'and philosophy, than
upon practical experience,. Wq look back upon
a country once lightly taxed-and, ; iiberally gov
erned—intelligent, honotabW; ■'’rapponsiblo and
conscientious in. every department—her Con
gress the forum of her'national .wisdom and
eloquence—a far more.njighty intellectual and
moral, than political pbw^i/ What can we see
now, but the reverse of - the picture ? If Mr.
Wilson will look back, see that his
‘new political new era” is nothingnew after all.
Liberty, equality and tnnVfersal brotherhood
Lave been the watchwords of several “new
political eras,” both before and since the French
Revolution of 1753, but r what dfd they amount
to? .
“Great moral, ideas” are of value in. human
government only as they are sound practical
ideas, embodied in a well digested and well
balanced system of. fundamental and statutory
Ijiw. .Even just ideas sometimes become, per
verted into instruments of practical folly and
mischief by untimely, unwise or disproportion
ate pressure. How will the account of human
liberty stand with the abolitionists, if to eman
cipate a few slaves, they have forfeited a free,
constitutional government to the American
people ?
, The Postsiasxeb at Macon.—The Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, tele
graphing that paper on the 11th, says, notwith
standing the assertions to the contrary, the last
official act of the President, before leaving
town, was to refuse the application of the white
Republicans of Macoii, Georgia, for the removal
of Tomer, the negro Postmaster there. In
their application, the white Republicans state
that Turner was obnoxious to^every white man,
witbontregard to politics,'.in that city.'" l
Running Our.r-:The Westenf lands, it is stated,
• are rapidly becoming exhausted from the pro
duction of one class of crops and from the neg
lect to apply proper jnunures, -. The journals of
that region assert that the grain-growing districts
of Illinois, Iowa,* Missouri and Minnesota are
yielding smaller crops to the acre every year,
and the same facts have been observed in the
wheat districts of California. The West, as well
as the South, must adopt the plan of rotation of
crops. ..
DiCksOn vs. PfcrT.vn.—Wo have noticed a con
test'going an in Barbour county, Ala., between
an acre of cotton of the Peeler variety and an
acre-of the Dickson. The Eufaula Times says
the Peeler on the 5th was thirty-four inches
from tip of root to point of leaf. The Dickson
onus not so tall bnt better fruited. .

The African Imbroglio in W ashingtou
The political and social status in Washington
seems at length to be arresting some degree of
attention among our Northern brethren—so to
speak. It is perhaps fortunate that the grand
experiment of political and social miscegenation
to which the Radical party is committed, is to
have a prominent illustration in the national
capital, where it can be known and read by all
men. The Herald of the 10th leads the way in
discoursing upon the aspects and auguries. The
Herald is discontented—in fact, the Herald
would swear a little over the matter, but for its
rigid adherence to morals and propriety.
The Herald shows that, since the legalization
of negro suffrage in Washington, the white vote
has been dropping off by thousands each suc
cessive year, and was this year several thousand
less than the registries called for. That this
was due to the ruffianism of the negro voters
and has resulted in reposing the destiny of the
Federal city in the hands of two-fifths of its
voters—for the most part a pack of squaled ne
groes and a corporal’s guard of carpet-baggers
to engineer them.
But not contented with what they have
achieved under the direction of the carpet-bag
Radicals, the Herald announces Jthat the ne
groes mean to set up for themselves and dis-
has just been elected as Register, to the Mayor
alty. Cook corrects a statement in Forney’s
Chronicle that the negroes are going to content
themselves with the galleries in the theatres and
will not seek admission to the boxes; and says
that they will contend for the full benefit of the
ordinance “breaking down such degrading bar
riers” as distinctions on account of . color, and
will “make no compromise or truce with any
manager or anybody else.
Bnt, as if to illustrate the nature of this am
bition of the darkey to force himself into social
contact with the whites, the negroes charge that
Cook himself is an aristocrat, refusing to as
sociate with any body but fancy niggers, and
they are down upon some of their newly elect
ed Aldermen, who are mulatto barbers, and
will allow none but whites to be shaved in.their
establishments. Such are the questions and
strifes which agitate official municipal circles
in Washington city. Such are the practical
workings of manhood suffrage. The Herald
concludes:
The moral suggested is that a few more such
manifestations of negrp suffrage will be- apt to
inaugurate that conflict of races - whichf when
fairly begun in this country, will only .ceaso
wifh the disappearance "of the African. - Nor
will the reekless political carpet-baggers, lead
ing him in this direction, escape the conse
quences of their folly; -.t With Andy Johnson in
the White House, these riotous proceedings of
the Washington blacks would perhaps have re
sulted in terrible scenes of- bloodshed.- ?Tho

the maintenance bf . central' supremacy^,
whole matter of right or wrong in the beginning
of the war,as weU as its disastrous cbnsequences,
depends upon the ‘great question, ..whether the
General Government was a Federal Republicaor
not; and what, under the Constitution, vjas fie
true “orthodox State-rights principle” tojwhich
Judge Nicholas refers but does not enlighten
the public upon.—In other words it depends
upon tho true answer to. Jhe question, where,
under our system, does sovereignty reside ? Cs it
lodged.in. the General Government, or hi 5 it
passed to the whole people of the United S: ites
as one aggregate mass, or does it still rei tain
with the peoplebf the several States'as diatmet
political organizations?’
The doctrine of-the book is that sovereignty
resides just where it did in 1776, 175B jtnd
1787—that is; widk: Wt'.piople of the several
States! It maintains that aU that the {states
did by .the adoption of the Constitution fvaq/to
delegate, in-1 rust, thee Zeroises-of certain specific
and limited’ sovereign powers'to the General

from which nil polilical powers emanate.
This doctrine, I must insist, too, is not only

contrary notwithstanding. Upon the point of
orthodoxy in reference.to tbis matter, I know of
but one standard on the subject, and that is the
Jefferson standard, erected and established in

yisiona fqr fhe pseservation of free institutions,
if it be bnt rightly administered.- The mostim-
portatai of thMe 'ibatuieS Is the' new' principle
which: it. iotrodnoed in the: pika of. Federal
Unions, of permitting the common Government,
the conventional power of nation; to dxecflte its .
delegated powers, within their limited sphere,
directly upon the citizens of the several States,
or smaller nationalities composing it.
- This new idea of so constituting a Federal
Republic as to make of its separate members
“one nation as to all foreign concerns, and to
keep them distinct.as to domestic ones,” with a
division of thepowers delegated., into “legisla
tive, executive taniT judicial departments,” with
a perfect machinery of government to operate
within prescribed limite in the execution of the
delegated powers, constitutes the most striking
difference between our present/Federal Union
and all former republics of its class. It marks
the greatest stride of progress in free institu
tions ever before made. It is this this which
has so impressed the minds and excited the ad
miration,of intelligent foreigners in contempla.
ting thb" wonderful workings of the American
system. This is the feature to which the learned
and philoepphio, De .Tocqueville refers when,
speaking of our Constitution, he says r
“This Constitution, which may at first be con
founded with the Federal Constitutions which have
preceded it, rests in truth upon a wholly novel the
ory, which may be considered- as a great discovery
in modem science * * * And this dif
ference produced the most momentous conse
quences.
Of the same feature Lord Brougham has re
corded his opinion in the following words of
high import:
“It is not at all a refinement that a Federal Union
should be formed: this is the natural result of
men’s joint operations in a very rude state of so
ciety. But the regulation of such a Union upon
pre-established principles, the formation of a sys
tem of government and legislation in which- the
different subjects shall be not individuals but States,
tfie; application^ of - legislative principles to'such a
body of States, and the devising means for beeping
itk integrity akaifederacy wlnle the rights and pow
ers of the individual States are maintained, entire,
is the very greatest, refinemeiit in social;policy to
whichany state of circumstances has ever .giyf-
ris.dto; or to which any age has eTer given birth.-.
Brougham's Political Philosophy, vol. 3, page 336,
This grand conception of so forming, model
ing and constituting our Union of States, which
so impressed de Tocqueville, and which Lord
Brougham considered “the very greatest refine
ment in social policy” “to which any age has
ever given birth,” originated with Mr. Jeffer
son. It came'from the same master mind whose
master hand, .drew the jD.eelaration of Indepen
dence in 1776-and in ; 4798 set forth with so
much clearness and .power’the . true, if not at

the administration of the Government in con
formity with thehe principles, or with but a
slight departures from them, “the momentous
consequences” spoken of by de Tocqueville,
distinguishing our unparalleled career, for sixty
years, in growth, prosperity, happiness and real
greatness is mainly attributable. ' V
And .bow, Messrs..Editors, do you ask, Cut
lono? A\Vhyso much.written upon the dead
issues of -the past, when questions of so much
magnitude, of . a practical character press upon
the public mind ? If bo, the reply is two-fold.
First, to vindicate the-truth of history, which is
itself a jbigh duly on .the part .of any one who
has it in his power to do it; and, in the second
place, to show the people of these States, in
this vindication, not only the true cause, the
real “causa causa its" of the late war, but the
real cause of their late troubles. The Federal
machinery for the--last ten, years-has been ab
normal jq'jfo antihri. It must be-hrought back
to the Jeffersonian doctrines, and made to con
form in its workings with the organic principles
of its structure, before there-6an possibly be a
return to the days of peace, harmony, prosperity
and happiness which formerly marked our
course. There is no other hope for constitutional
liberty on this continent. Judg8 Nicholas may
“dream dreams” about another constitutional
amendment, providing- a new mode of electing
the President, bnt the remedy lie3 in no such
device as that. It lies simply in bringing back
the Government in its administration to original
principles. This is to be done not by secession,
however rightful and efficient a remedy that
might be. This is abandoned. Nor is it to be
done by force ,or violence of any kind, except
the” force bf-' reason • ; and. the power of
truth-■ It is . to be-.-,done, .if at -(ill, at
the“ ‘b'allgt-b<TZ.' Free' institutions are more
generally lost - than etftabhshed or stfength-
tened by a resort to physical'force. They
art: eminently ■ the achievement of virtue* .patri
otism and reason. That, our institutions, and

in your owu paper, not long since, put the per

Ben. Butler Bnllies tlie Attorney Gen
eral.
It is said that the recent opinion of Attorney
General Hoar, in the case of the Texan who
killed a freedmeit foid-was tried by a : court
martial,-was frightened' out of-fiim by 'General
Butler. Butler, it appears, was familiar witii
the case.iandfwhen he - was hers last asked Hoar
why he hesitated to decide upon it. Hoar re
plied that there were difficulties in the way; it
was not quite clear that the military authori
ties had the right to take a case out of the hands
of the civil courts, under any circumstances.
The Attorney General went-on to state his ob
jections at considerable length, when Butler
suddenly interrupted him by saying, “Well, if
you do not give an opinion, such as I think
you should give in view of the facts, I will offer
a resolution on the subject the first day of the
next session. This thing has stood long enough.
