ABE AND ALECK.
j From Springfield, 111., on the 30th,
| of November, 1SG0, Abe Lincoln
| wrote to Aleck Stephens as follows:
j -'Hon. A. H. Stephens—My - dear
... 1 sir:—I have read in the newspaper
i your speech recently delivered (I
j dunk) before the Georgia Legiola-
this ' t urt . or jt 8 assembled members. If
1 you have revised it, as is probable,
I shall be much obliged if you will
send me a copy.
Yuury very truly,
A. Lincoln.”
To.which "polite note” (as Aleck
called it) Stephens replied sending
! a copy of the speech. The speech
i was the one he had made for the
Union against secession after Lin
coln was elected and before he had
h -hi inaugurated, of course. Abe’s
; reply is rather a curious piece of
j history and shows his feelings relat-
; ing to the question of slavery and
; his opitiion of the effect his election
I would have on the constitutional
I issue that was doomed to rupture
! the great union before the first cen-
j tury of its existence had run.
It is not important to give Steph
ens’ letter as it contains nothing
more than a formal reply and a pre
diction that the country was“in great
peril” and sympathising with Lin
coln because, “no man ever had
heavier or greater responsibilities
resting upon him than he had in
j the preseut momentous crisis,
|’’wrote Aleck.
j To this came Lincoln’s reply
! Above all the writing contained iD
the letter was these italacisea
words:
' l For your eyes only." Then fol
lowed :
“Springfield, III ,Dec. 22, I860 —
Hon. A. H. Stephens, —My dear
Sir:—Your obliging answer to my
short note is just received and for
which please accept my thanks. 1

The Chatauqua edition of the
Tennille News which was duly re
ceived on our exchange table was a
most creditable issue of that bright,
twice-a-week journal. The issue
gives its readers some idea not only
of its own enterprise, but also of the
bustling energy and go ahead of the
town of Tennille. Its columns were
well patronized by local business
men.
The Atlanta Journal says, “But
hereafter the Monroe doctrine, if
maintained at all, can be maintain
ed only bj force.” Certainly this is
true. The Monroe doctrine never
was intended to apply only while
we remain on the western conti
nent, but we have gone abroad and
sacrificed all consistency in assent
iug it. Now it belongs to us as long
as our army and navy can hold it
and no longer.
We have received from Chancel
lor Hill of the State University
catalogue of our great institution
It is the most complete and most
interesting one ever published. As
the chancellor says it shows “what
the state is doing for education.” I«
is as interesting reading as any
thing we have picked up recently
for it is historical of one of the
greatest institutions in the United
States and filled with facts that ev
ery Georgian ought to have.
Mr. Carnegie has giv-n $10,000,000
to Scottish Universities. He is
Scot by birth, and being born
Scotchman is to be always a Scotch
man, they say; hence these gifts.
This liberality, however excites the
ridicule of London papers. They
beg ‘ proud Scotland” not to educate
her youths with the means donated
by “an American ironmonger.” Yet
British bankrupt aristocrats are
glad enough to marry the daugh
ters of rich coon skin traders and
ferryboat millionaires.
The Waynesboro Lyceum has not
yet negotiated for a lecturer, but
has been in correspondence with
the Alkahest tor other entertain

tlemen have secured the grpat
speaker Mr. Dixon who will appear
on the 5th of June at the Auditori
urn. Mr. Dixon’s fame as an ora
tor has long proceeded him and
those who have heard him pro
nounce him the greatest of his kind.
He is a southerner and his oratory
partakes of the best of the South’s
type.

interfere with the slaves, or with
them about their slaves? If they
do I wish to assure you, a9 once a
friend, anu still,I hope, not any (how)
an enemy, that there is no cause
for such fears. The South would bi
in no more danger in this respect
than it was in the days of Washing
ton. I suppose, however, this does
not meet the case. You think slav
ery is right and ought to be extend
ed, which we think is wrong and
ought to be restricted. That I sup
pose is the rub. It certainly is the
only substantial difference between
us. Yours very truly,
A. Lincoln.”
In the second volume of Steph
ens’ war between the states auto-
gjaph copies of this correspondence
is given, showing the characteristic-
writing of these two great histori
cal personages, and how open and
candid they were with each other,
as they generally were to all man
kind.
Stephens’ long reply follows in
which he intimates that Lincoln’s
election was an overt set which
would end in dissolution and whh h
force could Dever cement as the
Union once stood.
But, metaphorically, Abe had
crossed the Rubicon and Rome was
in a bad fix. This correspondence
is very interesting, because it shows
that Lincoln did not expect the
abolition of slavery, but the restric
tion of it. As a war policy only he
signed emancipation
