THE SAGE OF LIBERTY HALL.
Latter ration->of tli<* Deceased States
man—Hitherto In published Letter.
EDITORS C(JI RANT-AMERICAN :—I send
yon the following Jeffersonian Demo
cratic letter of Hon. Alex. H. Stephens,
now dead, l>ut who yet lives in the affec
tions of his people, written at his dicta
tion by the clerk of his committee in tin*
absence of his secretary and amanuensis,
as peculiarly applicable and suited, be
cause of its patriotic sentiments and
firm devotion to sound principles, to the
mixed politics of the present time in
Georgia when the platform of Demo
cratic principles is voted down in so
called Democratic conventions by pro
tectionists and prohibitionists, who are
“Democrats*’ only in name “for rations,"
and when Jefferson, could he revisit the
country of his former triumphs over
Federalism and puritanical parental
government, would find it impossible to
recognize as being of his faith very
many in Georgia who are now vocifer
ously proclaiming themselves Democrats,
a State which in times pastcould proudly
boast of such men and Democratic
statesmen as W. H. Crawford, Toombs,
Howell Cobb, Herschel \ . Johnson, Jen
kins and Linton Stephens, but now the
breed seems almost extinct.
In explanation of the reference to Mrs.
Felton in Mr. Stephens' letter, 1 will
briefly say that we met in Koine at the
time, when, in conversation with me,
she complained that she had not heard
from Mr. Stephens since the commence
ment of the Ilill-Felton controversy of
that day, and that she should not write
him to ask the reason, which, in my let
ter to Mr. Stephens, I casually men
tioned, with other personal information
I thought might interest him.
Very truly yours,
Wm. 11 . Hidell.
National Hotel,
Washington, I). C., February 20,1882.
Dear Mil Hidell:— Mr. Stephens has
just returned from the House and requests
me to acknowledge the receipt of your
long letter to him, which came to hand
and was read by him just before he lefc
his room to be at the house at the open
ing of the session.
Mr. Seidell is at his home to attend the
sessions of his courts, to be absent sev
eral weeks. Mr Ironsides is to attend
to Mr. Stephens’ correspondence four
hours every day, two in the morning and
two after 8 p. m., but he wishes this let
ter to go off by 0 p. m., and therefore
gets me to pen these lines for him.
He was very much interested in your
letter and will get me to write another
when this is through to Mrs. Felton. *
* * vr The reason he has not written
to Mrs. Felton since Mr. Hill’s interview
appeared, as he will state to her, was
that he always thinks it best to be sileut
when friends are quarreling. Private
friendships with him far outweigh any
principles as yet developed in the con
flicts now going on in Georgia. He has
no intention ever again, while life lasts,
to enter into active participation in any
political struggles hereafter. His mis
sion in life, if it lasts so long, will be
ended with his present Congressional
service and the supervision of his forth
coming and last book.
He holds Dr. Felton, Judge Hook, and
divers other friends, who have gone into
the new movement, in the highest esti
mation, personally; but, while he may
sympathize with them in their grievances,
and in their efforts at reform, yet he can
-0
not approve their methods. Before
jumping out of the frying pan he wants,
to be satisfied that the leap will not be
into the fire. This was his position in
the days of reconstruction. He does not
now see that the Kirkwood ring, bad as
it is, is any worse than a Republican
junta with Wilson, Atkins and a few
others of like character, having the ab
solute control of all the Federal patron
age in Georgia. Indeed, he thinks the
latter would be worse than the former,
just as he thought, in 1807, the recon
struction policy advocated by Gov.
Brown would be worse for the people of
Georgia than to remain unresistingly
subject to the ruling powers, without
any assent to or participation in their
work. He then said that all his friends
who-might choose to take to lite-boats
for their safety might do so, without cen
sure from him. As for himself, he would
remain upon the old craft rocking on the
shoals and go down with her, if such fate
should befall us. At that time he did
not question the patriotism of Gov.
Brown and many other good and true*
reconstructionists in Georgia, but he
could not give their methods Ins sanc
tion.
He is, by birth and education, a Jeffer
sonian Democrat. He was bqrn and
reared in that school of politics, the old
Republican school, and with the princi
ples of that creed he will die. Party or
ganization he has ever held to be subor
dinate to principles. In this consists his
independence. Whenever party leaders
depart from these ancient landmarks he
never goes with them. He acts for him
self in all such cases. He is independent,
and will die so, of all Democratic or Re
publican organizations, which are not
based upon the essential principles of his
lite-long political creed. He has, how
ever, no quarrel with those friends who,
from expediency or policy, may choose
to act otherwise.
He is a well-wisher to this government
without regard to the hands its adminis
tration is constitutionally confided to.
He will support such measures as he ap
proves; and he will oppose such as he
disapproves, without acknowledging al
legiance to any party organization on
earth. Many acts of President Arthur’s
administration he approves, while many
others he does not approve; and, espe
cially he could never approve his new
movement policy, resting, as Mr. Ste
phens understands it, upon the funda
mental basis that all Federal patronage
in Georgia is to be bestowed, really and
virtually, not by the President or the
Secretaries, but upon the direction and
dictation of an irresponsible junta. Of
such a political organization Mr. Ste
phens says he will ever boas indepen
dent as he has been of the so-called Dem
ocratic organizations while under the
control of cliques, tricksters and politi
cal thimbleriggers.
*******
What he has dictated to me, he says,
you, of course, will understand to be for
yourself. He does not intend to be
brought into any discussion before the
public upon any present or future ques
tions likely to agitate the people of
Georgia. Yours truly,
C. P. Culver.
A GENERAL REVIEW
Of the Progress of The Exposition—Wha-t
Has Keen Accomplished in Ten Weeks.
It is thirty-five days from to-day until
the gates of the great North Georgia and
Alabama Exposition will be opened to
the public.
It is now just about a month before
the Exposition opens.
It is jusf ten weeks since it was de
cided to have the North Georgia and
Alabama Exposition this fall. The cap
ital stock was subscribed at once.
Since that time great things have been
accomplished.
The ample and conveniently located
grounds have been secured. The con
tiact for the large and handsome main
building was let, and it is now nearly
completed. The roof was put on some
time ago, and the carpenters are now
busy putting on the finishing touches.
The painters will begin work on Monday.
The body of the building will be painted
a pea-green and the trimmings will be
dark red.
The grounds have a good race track
and a fine bicycle track in progress of
construction. A side track has been
built into the grounds from the main
line of E. TANARUS., V. G. railroad, which
fereat system runs at a little distance
from the Exposition grounds.
The seats of the grand stand are being
put in and it is nearly finished.
The premium lists were prepared at
once, and several thousands have been
issued and are ready for distribution.
The premium list is very liberal and
amounts to SIO,OOO. Tlrev have been
sent all over the country. Any person
who has not received one can have one
sent them by writing for it. The officers
will be glad to send them to anybody
and everybody who will apply for them.
The North Georgia and Alabama Ex
position will open on Monday, October
Ist, and close on Saturday, October
13th. The original idea was to have it
open for one week, but yielding to the
pressure of public sentiment, the direc
tors decided to extend the time to two
weeks.
Among the noted public men who have
been invited and who it is expected will
be present are Hon. Allen G. Thurman,
Speaker James G. Carlisle, Gov. John B.
Gordon, Hon. H. W. Grady and Gov.
Thomas J. Seay, of Alabama.
The great portion of the floor space
has been engaged, though a few choice
positions still remain. Applications con
tinue to come in daily. The exhibits it
is already demonstrated will be very fine.
The display of live stock will be a fea
ture. A dozen or more counties will
eompete for the prize of SSOO cash for
the best county display.
The amusement features be very
entertaining. The arrangement of them
is in the hands of a special committee.
The Tribune will publish the list later
on.
The transportation from Rome to the
Exposition grounds will be ample. The
E. TANARUS., V. A G. railroad will run special
trains between Rome and the Exposi
tion through the entire day.
The finest equipped dummy line in the
South is in operation between Rome and
the grounds, and new cars have been
ordered to add to their facilities for
handling the large crowds.
The indications are already sufficient
to show that the largest crowd ever seen
in this section, excepting at the Pied
mont exposition in Atlanta, will be here.
They will be well repaid for their trip.
Remember the date has be*n extended to
two weeks —from October Ist to October
13th. —Tribune of Rome, August 25th.
New York correspondent (Louisville)
Western Recorder: We have anew Bap
tist minister in New York, Rev. Dr. Me
sarios, for the past five years pastor of a
Presbyterian church, Philadelphia, and
the most attractive preacher there.
Admiring crowds constantly crowded his
house of worship.
Mesarios is a man of great oratorical
gifts, very great. Hearing him, one does
not wonder at the stories which have
come foom Philadelphia. He has all the
enengy and dash of Tabmige without
his grotesque antics; with less self-esteem
and misinformation, seems to be Ills
equal in occasional flatulency, over-state
ineut, and greediness for admiration,
ilis Philadelphia church was a counter
part of the Brooklyn Tabernacle—a
great multitude gathered to hear
pungent and witty things, followers of a
man. Mr. M. has been called to Twenty
filth street because it is believed lie will
fill the house, and is promised $5,000
per year, with the privilege of lecturing
as much as he pleased. His Philadel
phia Presbyterian church, such was their
attachment to him, agreed to become a
Baptist church if he would remain. \Ye
have his own word for it.
