1 1 rutn the AugUtU Constitutionalist, lit in«t.
Mr. Stephens* Speech.
About noon yesterday, a large concourse of
re pie assembled in the City Hall Park, to
fiear their Repzesentntive in Congress address
them, on bis resignation of the high office
w bich they have so long conferred upon him,
5; ,,l which he has so honorably and ably filled.
There was a large number of ladies present;
md, though the heavens frowned, and the sky
p-ew dark, and the rain came down upon the
earth, there was but a brief interruption of the
orator’s remarks.
Jfr. Jons Bones came forward on the plat
form which had been erected for the occasion,
and introduced Mr. Stephens to the audience,
whereupon the honorable gentleman arose, and
p.,reeded to address his constituents in sub
stance, as follows:
Mr. Stephens returned thanks for this pop
ular display on the part of his constituents ;
f o r there was much in it to enhance his appre
ciation of the compliment intended to be be
stowed. It was an imposing assembly—not
only of the voters of the district, but of the
land —the mothers anu the daughters ; an as
sembly, not only of political friends, but of
p iitical foes—all of which tended to enhance
the demonstration. It is not every one in po
litical life that has been so fortunate as to re
ceive such a compliment at its close. It was
not an uncommon thing among the ancients
fur public men to be ostracised ; and even in
this country, some fail to meet the popular ap
probation : hence, he was particularly gratified
at this testimonial, and responded gratefully
for this good feeling on the part of his con
i, vuents.
Politics is a stormy and uncertain sea, pos-,
sensing dangerous aud uncertain elements;
and while riding its storms, as he has, many
of his associates have been wricked, lie has
been more fortunate ; but claims nothing for
himself —it was all owing to the personal teal
jug eutertained for him by hie constituents ;
and he again expressed hie gratitude for this
display, coming from the source it did, and in
the b' antiful aud flourishing city of Augusta.
The occasion was suggestive of thoughts of
regret, as all partings are; but he would not
dwell upon these thoughts. He was not as
one about to part from friends, but rather like
the weather-beaten mariner—after passing
through the dangers of the mighty deep, he
sails upon his last voyage, heaves in sight of
his wished for home, and once more lands on
terra firm, never to sail again upon the bosom
of the troubled sea; so he felt to-day. [Ap
plause.]
Another source of gratification is in the fact
th:,t be leaves the country in as good condition
as he found it —much better, in fact, and ma
terially advanced in all the elements of wealth
and power.
Our commerce has extended, and empire in
creased —in all the element of prosperity we
have made steps of marked and unprecedented
progress. Since his debut in public life—in
the legislature of Georgia—our own condition
has improved as if by magic, although we pass
along, hardly noticing it. He alluded, as an ,
example, to our colleges. When he first came ,
upon the stage of public life there was but one ;
university, or male college, in the State ; there
was not a female college in the whole world. ,
Georgia was the first to establish and endow ,
colleges for women. The Macon Female Col- ,
lege was the first of its kind in the world ; and, ,
th .ugh ridiculed and laughed at, he advocated
it in the legislature of Georgia, and aided in .
its establishment. The fruits of these new .
lights, which have sprung up all over the State,
will be reaped hereafter. And though Geor- ,
gia, was, indeed, an Umpire of internal im- ,
nr .cements, and though we might pile all her ,
improvements upon each other, on the top of |
all will stand the honor of leading in the cause ,
of female education. (Applause.) In a word, .
then, he leaves all, socially and materially, in
national power and greatness, in as good con- (
dition as he found it. ,
He did not look for this demonstration ; for (
be preferred to go into privacy with the con- f
sciousness that he had discharged his duty <
faithfully; but he yielded to the wishes of the j
people, on this occasion. _ ‘.
He was gratified that his conduct in the po- '
litical field hail been approved; and he would ,
briefly let his audience know how the political .
questions which have agitated the country now j
stand.
He alluded to his connection with the annex
ation of Texas—one of the most momentous
questions, and the first which he had ever met
with. It was a fiery ordeal, for he then stood
in opposition to many of his friends ; but a
sense of duty impelled him to adopt the course
be did. The secret history of this subject has
never been written. The annexation of Tex
as secured four slave States to the Union.—
Without claiming any honor for himself, he
stated that the resolutions that passed the Sen
ate were drawn up by himself and Brown, of I
Tennessee; and that' Mr. Calhoun and Mr: ■
Tyler never saw them until they were in print. !
In 1850, Mr. Hale asked Daniel Webster, the
great constitutional expounder, whether he
tb..ught it was constitutional to admit territory,
with a guarantee of four slave States, into the
Union? Mr. Webster replied. “Ido!” This i
was one of the most gratifying events of his
life. In six vears, notwithstanding the disa
greement aud difficulties through which he
pa-sed, he lived to see the ablest expounder
admitting, in the face of the world, that the
act of admission was constitutional —and now,
men of all parties and creeds agree that it was
right. . .
A greater and a fearful crisis arose—that
was the question of the power of Congress
over the Territories —whether new slave States
should be admitted ; or whether the South
should never expand or enlarge: whether our
institutions should be starved out; whether
the South should submit to degradation. He
would not give the history of those times, but
simply say, in regard to the part he took, it is
past—what he did is done—but whether right
or wrong, the record is made up. The South
was successful. She asked nothing wrong from
the North, and got only what was right He
was perfectly willing to remain in the Union;
but simply said stay the hand of oppression.
As much as he loved’ and admired the Union,
if the South was to be hemmed and hedged in,
he was for resistance; sooner than submit to
practical or theoretical questions of wrong, he
was for resistance.
He believed truth would triumph; all the
South wants is decision, union, patriotism ; he
believed in the power and omnipotence of
truth, and would ask for nothing wrong. The
great principle to be carried out is expansion
—the right of the people of the South to go to
the Territories with their slave property, pro
t-eted bv the Constitution, on a platform of
equal rights.
[A shower of rain interrupted the speaker
at this moment; but he soon resumed.]
The question was fully settled as a principle,
that Congress should make no discrimination
in regard to sectional rights in the Territories;
but that the people of each Territory, when
aboat to form a Constitution as a State, should
decide for themselves whether they should
come into the Union as a free or slave State.
The Missonri compromise doctrine, the
Texas doctrine, the territorial doctrine of Rn
fi;s King, ill 1 SIT. have all been abandoned.
In the admission of this principle it was not a
triumph of the South, but a triumph of justice,
truth and right. The settlement was fully up
to the wants of the South. She never asks
but for what is right. The principle is now
settled that Congress shall abstain from all
legislation on the subject of slavery in the
Territories, whether as to the North or the
> uth ■ mid the territories are now open to all
motions, and have the privilege of adopting
slavery or not, as the people may choose, when
they come to form a constitution. These
measures, however, did not go as far as he
wished ; he would have Congress to give pro
toution to slave property in the public domain
as long as it remained in a territorial con-
uition. . ..
A majority at the South differed from him.
Not mon- than twenty five men in Congress
agreed with him. But he finally yielded to
the doctrine of non intervention, because it
via not aggressive; and because it secured for
all practical purposes what he wanted. It i
nimau and soil do not favor slavery, itewill
not go into the territories. I
Many thought the discussion on the slavery

wto**’ • ifawU rtawstae
but U Wh-
tailed an abstnat question of gtext taper
tance. Mr. Stevens cited several law cases
where tbe interests immediately at stake were
small, but wherein great abstract principles
were contained; and asked where would hare
been the Dred Scott decision bnt for the de
bate in Congress I Let no man place too light
an estimate upon theoretical questions. He
cited our own Revolution, which, as Mr. Web
ster says, was “fought upon a preamble."
The demands of the colonies for the removal
of the tea and stamp duties were granted by
the British governmen; but the right of taxa
tion was asserted in the very act of revoca
tion ; and upon that the revolution was fought.
Mr. Stephens here paid a passing compliment
to Ireland and her patriots and orators—and
quoted the language of Edmund Burke in re
gard to the action of the British government.
On the same principle, let no one be deceived
or place too small an estimate on public men
in their discussions—even when they threaten
a dissolution of tbe Union, and even on an ab
stract principle. He would not advise the
South, nor any portion of the confederacy to
remain members of a body in which they were
not equal, in all the principles of justice.
His reason tor retiring was, that all the
questions were now settled. Everything hu
man is passing away : there is nothing eternal
but change. Our bodies yield to this law;
death is incident to all; and governments are
liable to the same law. The most powerful of
the present day, even our own, must pass
away. We know not when it must obey this
law of change; he would not hasten its disso
lution, but rather prolong its existence; and
indulged the hope that a tar more glorious po
sition even than our present one, awaits us.
Mr. Stephens repeated that he had endeav
ored to discharge his duties faithfully. The
settlement of the questions to which be had
alluded, was a practical good, if we are bJt
true to ourselves; tbe settlement was affirmed
by the judiciary, as well as the executive; and
we can now divide Texas into five slave
States, and get Chihuahua, Sonora, etc., if we
have the slave population.
He had been asked, what are the prospects
for the future? What is to become of tbe
anti-slavery sentiment at the North? and
whether slavery is as secure as it was?
As he said in 1850 he would repeat now—
there is very little prospect of the South set
tling any territory outside ot Texas; in fact,
little or no prospect at all, unless we increase
our African stock.
This question his hearers should examine in
its length and breadth; he would do nothing
more than present it; but it is as plain as any
thing, that, unless the number of African stock
be increased, we have not the population, and
might as well abandon the race with our
brethren of the North, in the colonization of
the territories. It was not for him to advise on
these questions, he merely pi esented them;
the people should think and act upon them. If
If there are but few more slave States, it is not
because of abolitionism or Wilmot provisos, but
simply for the want of people to settle them.
Cannot make States without people—rivers
and mountains do not make them; aud slave
States cannot be made without Africans. I
am not telling, you, said he to go into the slave
trade, but it is a serious question concerning
our political and domestic policy; and yve do
not want voters and deciaimers so much as
thinkers and reasoners. It is useless to wage
war about abstract rights, or to quarrel and
accuse each other of unsoundness, unless we
get more Africans.
Many had asked him what he thought of
public sentiment on this question ? He would
reply, that the institution of slavery is now
stronger than it was sixteen years ago, when
he entered Congress. Nothing improved like
it; and it is now fixed firm and secure in its
position.
In his judgment ours is the only government
consistent with nature. He did not agree
with some as to the manner of meeting our
opponents: while many persons were offended
and astonished at the higher law doctrine of
Seward, he believed, himself, in a higher law.
He believed in a higher law of the Creator,
and the Constitution must sustain and rest
upon this higher law. The opponents of sla
very were endeavoring to make things equal,
[black and white people,] which the Creator
had made unequal. Our opponents, then, are
warring against a principle, while we are
w arring for it.
Negro slavery is but in its infancy; it is a
mere problem in our government: our fathers
didn't understand it. I grant that all the pub
lic men of the South wete once against it; but
they didn’t understand it. It is for us to meet
questions with the firmness which they did.
The problem is yet unsolved. Ours is not only
the best, but it is the only government found
ed upon tbe principles of nature. Aristotle
and other ancient philosophers had failed in
their theories of government. Gradation is
seen in everything in nature—in the flowery
world, from the japonica down to the violet;
in the vegetable kingdom, in the stars, and
even in men. All government comes from the
Creator. Statesmen never looked to this prin
ciple of gradation, but our government is the
only one founded on it; and our policy, our
institutions, and African slavery is founded on
it. It is not for us to inquire into the great
mysteries of nature; and it is most foolish to
attempt to make things better than God made
them. [Applause.]
Statesmen and private men should take things
as God founded them ; making the greatest
amount of happiness out of the elements which
we possess. We ought to increase and expand
our institutions. If they do not increase the
amount of happiness to all—black and white—
then, they ongnt to be abandoned. He repu
diated the doctrine of the greatest happiness
to the greatest number. One hundrel per
sons have no right to have happiness at the
expense and injury of ninety-nine. If slavery
is not best for the African, and doesn’t in
crease his happiness, it ought to be abolished.
If it does, then our institution are founded in
nature —we are fulfilling our destiny, and we
should stand upon this higher law. He
wouldn’t support a Constitution that was in
consistent with this higher law of nature.—
And until the “leopard oan change his spots,
or the Ejhiope his skin,” don’t tell me, said he,
that it is unlawful to hold slaves.
ile had been asked, with these views, what
is to become of the country ? Fanaticism
might be spreading at the North ; but slavery
is getting stronger, and will continue to get
stronger whether in the Union or out of it.
If the worst must come, let it come—he was
not afraid of the consequences ; in or out of ,
the Union slavery will grow stronger as time .
goes on. 11
When he entered Congress, the Missouri
Compromise excluded slavery from the territo- j
ries ; now, it is not excluded from a partion of t
land over which floats our national flag I
He alluded to the anti slavery sentiment '
which prevailed in Virginia in the early day* [
of the Commonwealth ; and argued that it N c
useless to war against the progress of events.— 1
Every restriction has been taken off of slavery; .
a fugitive slave law has been granted. There 1
are more men at the North to-day who believe
in the social and moral condition of slavery t
than when he went to Congress. Wilberforce’s (
theory has failed: Carlyle has repudiated his .
: abolition doctrines; and even the London
I -Tinies’ has partially kept up with him in his ’
1 opinions. Freedom for the negro has been
! tried in the West India Islands, and failed, and ;
the defect is now attempted to be remedied by 1
the introduction of Chinese coolies, under the .
title of “ apprentices.” They had better re-
I sort to the original state of things. I
| All, he continued, depends upon ourselves, <
i for the future. With our constitutional rights,
and with the present principles of political pol
icy, in his judgment, we are just as safe, and ’
I even safer than we ever were. We must re
main united ; if we are ever divided, our day
of doom will surely come. All nations when
they cease to grow begin to die ; we should
■ then eudeavor to expand and grow. Central
America, .Mexico, are all onen to uh. He does
not believe the country is large enough ; but
believes that a diversity of interests will
strengthen the government batter than if all
were homogeneous. He looks forward in the
future to the acquision of Cuba : but was never
in favor of paying Spain much money for it—
i not more than one or two millions of dollars. If
Culm wants to come into the Union, he would
not ask Spain : but would be in favor of repeal
! mg the neutrality laws, so a* U> give our people
> chance to help her in her wish.
He saw no reaeon why we should pay thirty
millions for it; we have already spent several
millions in preventing Americans from going
to Cuba —and he wants the United Stales to
quit bolding the Island, white Spain skins it.
[Crim of go on ’ go on!]
The l<«st time to quit a speech, resumed the
1 I sneaker, te when nobody wants you to unit.—
i What I have said n*»to* the nriariptea of elav-' ,
>, eyy te » naw thing. |*Hueuplmr. never thought
mi--h upon a government founded on nature - -
All things are etew in development, ta He
• I alluded to the tbaonea <4 Coperaseea. <4 OaT
’Jlitab <4 Adam fault, Waata, «< Xavtea, off 4
Fulton—to the steamboat, telegraph, &c.—all
were slow in development; and the same prin
ciple will apply to our government.
He would now take his farewell leave. My
race is done, said he, my career is ended—
whether for good or evil the record has been
made up. He has endeavored to perform his
trust to the best of his ability. lie does not
quit the service of his constituents from dis
content ; for he is perfectly satisfied, if they
are. He would not change a single act of his
past life, and was perfectly willing that his
public life should be squared by the rule of
the Grecian statesman: “On ail occasions a
publie man should act not only as if he thought
the act was the best that could be, but as if
it was the very best that could lie done.”
He would not say that he would not hold
office under any emergency : for that would be
insolvent; but if any great emergency should
arise, even if it were necessary to shoulder h’s
musket in defence of his country —though he
could not do much in that way—yet he would
hold himself ready to obey the call of his
country. But there was no office under heaven
which lie would have in preference to that of
Representative—and particularly from the Sth
District. He was under great obligations to
the people of the District; and if he had pass
ed safely over that sea to which he had alluded,
it was all owing to their generous confidence.
In all that he had done, he had endeavored to
honor the office, rather than maintain the office
for the honor it conferred. He apologised for
aught that he may have said or done in the
heat of political contest, that wounded the feel
ings of his political opponents, and hoped that
pardon would be extended to him.
In conclusion, he wished peace, happiness
and long life to all of his hearers; prosperity
to the country; and that our institutions might
bless millions yet unborn as they have blessed
us.
Mr. Stephens sat down amid the applause of
those who had the opportunity and tne gratifi
cation to hear him. We regret our inability
to do justice to the honorable gentleman, but
our report must necessarily be hurried and cur
tailed, and therefore imperfect. Our readers
may, however, gather some idea of the princi
ples which the retiring statesman carries with
aim into private life.
We presume the speech will be written out
by Mr. Stephens, and furnished to the press
for publication.
As soon as the speaking was over, the loud
mouth cannon was placed in Greene street,
and boomed forth sixteen discharges—one for
each year cf Mr. Stephens’ service in Con
gress.
THE DINNER.
At four o’clock, four thousand persons, a
large portion being ladies, assembled in the
long and spacious building of the Savannah
and Augusta Railroad depot. Six tables,
reaching nearly the whole length of the edifice,
wsre supplied with the substantials of life,
prepared under the charge of Mr. Daniel Kil
patrick. The dinner was abundant, well cook
ed. and a thousand persons more could have
fared sumptuously from the quantity of pro
visions provided for the occasion.
After dinner, Senator Hamirond was called
out and made a few remarks—and other gen
tlemen replied to calls. At the time we were
called off Mr. Stephens was speaking.

Political Intelligence—a view
OF THE FIELD IN 1800.
We copy the following article from that no
toriously infamous sheet, the Al-ir York Her
ald, not with the view of endorsing its senti
ments and opinions, but merely to keep our
readers posted in political matters.
The Herald says;
“Taking a prospective view of the political
field in 1860, based upon the presumption th:-,t
the present difficulties in the democratic and
opposition camps will continue to strengthe n
and widen up to the time for holding the na
tional convention, we find the parties cut up
somewhat in the following style, with perhapn
the men named below as the leader of each
faction in nomination for President:
Northern Democracy. ... Stephen A. Douglas’.
SotrfAern Dmiocrury.... Henry A. Wise.
lllavk Republican William 11. Seward.
Southern Opposition .... William L. Goggin.
Know Nothing J.Jin J. Crittenden.
“If five candidates should bo run for Presi
dent and neither receive a majority of tho
whole number of electoral votes, only three ol
them could go before the House of Represen
tatives, and those would probably be the threri
first named. As matters look now, the vote in
that body by States would stand about as fol -
lows :
Northern Democracy 4
Southern Democracy 15
Black Republican 14
“This gives California, Illinois, Minnesota
and Oregon to the Northern branch of the de
mocracy, the fifteen Southern States to the--
Southern branch, and fourteen Northern States
to the Black Republicans. Under tbe above
vote there would of course be no election, and
the two democratic factions would have to fuse
before the 4th of March, 1861, or the election
would go to the Senate under the following
provisions of tho constitution :
‘“And if the House of Representativesshal[
not choose a President whenever the right of
choice shall devolve upon them, before the
fourt'i day of March next following, then the
Vice President shall act as President.
‘“lf no person have a majority for Vice
President (in the Electoral College), then from '
the two highest numbers on the list the Senate
shall choose the Vice Pres’deni.”
“The vote in the Ser-is for Vice President
on the above division of parties would stand as
follows :
Democrats 42
Republicans 24
“Only two candidates goii , before the Sen
ate, the division would necessarily be between
the Democrats and Black Republicans.”
The Albany Road. —The Albany Rond has
alarmed some of the citizens of Thomasville,
and all sorts of plans are suggested to defeat
or supersede it. They will splurge in vain,
however. The people of Albany are as wide
awake as they are, and comprehend the im
mense advantage they will reap by a direct
road to Brunswick.— Brunswick Herald, Mik

Democratic Nominations in
Twiggs.
Marion, July Ist, 1859.
Agreeable to previous notice, a portion of
the Democratic party of Twiggs convened in
the Court House at Marion to-day, the Ist inst., (
at 11 o’clock, A. M. On motion of Major Jno.
Fitzpatrick, Judge Jno. C. Epps was called to ,
preside, and Benjamin W. Finney requested to i
act as Secretary.
The Chairman in a few words, stated the
object of the meeting to be the putting forth
of candidates by the party for the next State
Legislature. It was then moved by Maj. Fitz
patrick, that Eli S. Griffin, and Hardin T.
Smith, Esquires, being without opposition be
fore the meeting, and apparently the unani
mous choice of the party, be nominated by ac- ,
clamation, which was assented to and done. —
The gentlemen thus nominated, being in town,
were immediately waited upon by a committee
appointed by the Chairman, to wit: Wm.
Faul.k Hardy Solomon and Wm. Solomon, and
by them informed of their nomination, when
they came before the meeting and signified
their acceptance, tendering their thanks for
the honor conferred, and promising to bear
our standard triumphantly over all opposition
which it might encounter in the course of the
campaign.
Judge Solomon, in response to a call made
upon him, then addressed the meeting with his
characteristic warmth, and in a strain of good
humor and sound sense, highly delighting and
edifying. He took the new-born opposition,
(ilisu “Opes-um” party, and exposed it as a
hollow, worthless thing, without principles or ,
a policy, and only another scheme to put down
the Democracy, and to ride into power. He
predicted for it a fate similar to that of Know-
Nothingism. He placed the bold, straightfor
ward and unswerving course of the great De- |
mocratic party in strong and forcible contrast
with the miserable shifts and tergiversations
of it* opp meats, showing that it was the only
hope of the country, and Uiat we should stand
by it, as such; and closed by earnestly exhort
ing the party to wakefulness aud harmonious ,
and united action in the coming canvass.
The following Resolutions were then offered
to the meeting:
1. Resolved, That we arc highly gratified at
the result of the late Democratic State Com en
tk>n —that it has unanimously given to the
people, for their condidatc for Governor, the
man of their choice, ami re-adopted, without t
alteration, the platform of the party. Me do ;
not doubt that an unpui ulellcd triumph will fol- ‘
low at the approaching October election.
f 2. Resolved, That the Democratic party of
[ Twiggs will stand together undivided in the
, approaching canvass, as they have heretofore
Hood in the aupp'-rt of their candidate* and
cherished principle* The agitation by usthi*
of the question of "State Aid" to the Ma
| con A Brunswick Rail Road enterprise ba*
. been impolitic aud untimely, and we no longer
. will tool estranged from uiie another on uecouut
of past wrangling* on that question.
g 3. Hesolml, That we are in favor <4 » can
didatc for Uongrcs* loving brought out aud run
by tho Democratic party of the 7th Congres
sional District, and that tint chairman of this
meeting appoint three fit ami proper persons
to attend, as the Delegates of the County, a
Dieti let Con venlion for that purpose —which
Convention we would suggest be holden at
Milledgeville on Wednesday, the third day of
August next.
Tho Ist and 2nd Resolutions were unani
mously adopted by the meeting ; but the 3rd
Resolution Maj. Fitzpatrick moved to strike
out, on which motion a discussion ensued, par
ticipated in by Maj. Fitzpatrick and Hardy
Solomon against, and Eli S. Griffin, Lewis Sol
omon, and Jno. F. Shine for tne Resolution. —
When the discussion terminated, the Resolu
tion was put by the Chairman to a vote of the
meeting, and it prevailed by a very decided
majority. In accordance therewith, the Chair-1
man appointed Eli S. Griffin, Lewis Solomon
and John F. Shine Delegates for the County I
to a District Convention, should our views
meet those of our political brethren of other 1
counties, and such Convention be called.
On motion of Hardy Solomon, thg proceed- ’
ings of the meeting were ordered to be sent to
the “Federal Union,” “Georgia Telegraph,”
and “State Press” for publication.
There being no further business, the meeting
adjourned sine die.

MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT.
Its wonderful effect and consequent popularity— |
perhaps no article in the history of tbe Materia Mtd
ica, ever acquired the same patronage, was subject j
to the same number of severe and different tests, ami
met with so few failures as the Mustang Liniment.
It has justly been styled a Panecea for all external
Wounds, C uts, Swellings,Sprains, Bruises, orErup
tions on Man or Beast. It is so far a medicine of j
surprising virtue, thaUl’bysic.ans are compelled to
prescribe it; and from some remarkable cures of
Chronic and Distorted Rheumatic cases it has natur
ally attracted much attention from the first scientiti
ic minds of the age. No family can afford to be
without a bottle of the Mustang Liniment in the
bouse. Beware of imitations.
The genuine is sold by respectable dealers in all
parts of tbe world.
