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.
