[COMMUNICATED.] Atlanta, 11th Sept, 1(1) o’clock, P. M. Editor Cassviiae Standard : Dear Sir:—Hon. Linton Stephens has just closed a speech in the City Hall, which in many . respects, surpasses all made during the present canvass. The claims of Stephen A. Douglas, to the sin cere regards and cordial support of the Southern people was set forth in a most affecting light The fast friend of the South in every conflict, ho may be trusted to stand by her in the hour of sorest need. Judge Stephens’ address had the rare merits of rendering no abuse or disparage ment of the opposing candidates for the Presidency. The result of this speech was to place the great Illinoian upon an eminence far above what the others dared claim or ever hope to gain. How elevated and pure the character of the great champion of the rights of the South and perpetuity of the Union, who could so win upon the regards and enthu siasm of such a man as Linton Stephens, who has just desceodod voluntarily from the Supreme seat of Justice without a stain or spot to sully the purity of his ermine. Such ccrnestness and zeal could only emanate from thorough conviction, and the purest motives for the welfare of his country. To endeavor to make an analysis or ab stract of this great oration would but mar the whole. It was perfect in all the char acters of a great speech. It ascended from simnle statement and calm argument, io lofty and patriotic appeals. But it is understood that the whole of Cherokee shall partake of the light and joy of such masterly presentations of truth. Hon. Linton Stephens, Alex. H. Stephens, Gov. Johnson and others are on the way, and tending towardsyour region. Interior and Lower Georgians now in a of rapid transition. The work is The masses arc in motion. The strong impulso to sustain a noble and pa triotic leaner, as in the days of Jackson, is moving the masses. The adherents of Breckinridge or Bell can feel no enthusiasm. Their feeling is like that of a little girl for her doll.—- They are trying to force themselves to ad mire a sham. For what have these men done 1 Have they ever dared to stand a- lont and incur the loss of friends or popu larity to maintain great principles ? Our champion is the hero of a hundred con flicts in which all that is dear to the South and tee country waa involved. Such were mom of the sentiments of this great speech But all Cherokee shall hear, and the thou •sands who i nna filling (III way* shall have light and liberty. The days of Jackson are upon us. The Opto will do their own thinking and vo- 4»*-atal, woe to them that oppose. & The Horn AtettMderH. Stephens, one of the ablest aft »nt win the country, has boldly declared Ids ttMsafoo totee inter ests ol the Republic in a speech endorsing tee nomination oT Senator Douglas, and advocating hs eiection to the Presidency. It is a noble testimony to the truth of Senator Douglas’ position to see a map like Stephens coming from that retirement into Which he had consigned himself; to wield once more for Democracy and the Union, teat potent force which has eleva ted him into the front rank of living ora tors aftd statesmen. At this particular juncture, and when the Government organ deals in Vilification of every man who is true to the Democracy, it may not be in apt to preface a brief sketch of Mr. Ste phens’ speech in behalf of Mr. Douglas the other day at Augusta, Georgia, with a notice of the great orator from the Gov ernment organ during the Thirty Fifth Congress: “ Cool, resolute, self sacrificing, vigilant and able, he has stood the mentor of the body, equal to every demand upon his time and his intellect—the champion of a noble principle, all the more dear to the people because, in its proposed application its foundations must be laid beneath the quicksands of past legislations and in op position to those powerful interest which errors of legislation on the subject of sla very fail to inspire. There have been few instances iff the history ofthe government which have shown, in any one individual, higher qualities of statesmanship—ability firmness, patience, industry, and faithful devotion, in time and out of time, to a great principle and a just measure—than have been exhibited by the honorable member from Georgia.” * Probably the “cool, self sacrificing, vigilant and able” Georgian will be now regarded as very hasty, very ambitious, and very foolish; but it cannot be expec ted that those who labor to promote dis union can havo a tolerant word for those who are ready to die to preserve the Un ion. Mr. Stephens treats Mr. Breckin ridge with kindness, and is inclined to hope that he is not of himself a disunion- ist. He cannot, however, acquit him of not doing the work of the disunionists, and promoting the disruption of the Union.— States and Union. ***««■• - U The following is from the Scientific American of the 25th uR: Gold or Georgia.—Mr. Wm.

Extract of a letter from W. J. Dnncan, Esq., of Simpson county, Kentucky, to Mr. J. A. Stewart of this city : * * * If Bell or Douglas either are elected President you will hear no more from tho Disunion party South. P You express some fears of Bell on the subject of non-intervention. His speech on the-RanSss.biU will sfroiT^qu his true position. He says that neither "congriBs*- nor a Territorial legislature can establish or prohibit slavery in a territory, but it must be left open for the North and South until they come to form a State Constitu tion, and then for the first time the peo ple of a Territoryrhave the right to say whether they will or will not have slavery. Now, I have ever been a Bell man, but Lsay now, and I have never said anything else, that Douglas is nearer right than either Bell or Breckinridge. All must come to Douglas : for if Bell’s views are carried out, what protection has any one for his negroes in Territories prior to the formation of a State ? None. In the Drcd Scott decision negroes have been decided to be property. If so then they arc as much a subject oflegisla- tion as horse or cow property in the Ter ritorial legislature. If the climate and 9oil is not adopted to slave labor it will not go there and all the Devils in hell can’t make it go where the people a? not want it a thou- joueto^- is gaining ground every day; bctTer ^jjew-K?Iieve he or Bell will be the next Presidents Lincoln will be third in the race and Breckin.-id^c^will be behind. I am going to Bowlin j-Gre^vJ5y.j_on the 20th, to hear Douglas ;\Deak. It is sai3 that Breckinridge will be there also. Senator Fitzpatrick was serenaded at his residence, neat TFetamka, Alabama a. tan shortiitafi ago. He made a speech. the coursfc'of hi« rema»ks said of Jadgw H®* DougfrA . w “Mr. Douglasf is a maq of genluS, great force of character, and many Attractive qualities. I have always maintained with him very kind totial relations, and I will do him the justice to say, that, pOtside of his opinions and doctrines on the Territo rial questions, no one among northern Democrats has more boldly and nuqifully sustained the Constitutional rights of the South upon the slavery question.” Yes, and he is receiving his reward from such southerners as you, for having bold ly and manfully sustained the Constitu tional rights.of the South on the slavery question. He was your friend, and for being so, was subjected to all the indigni ties that Abolitionism co’d heap upon him. And those indignities were heaped upon him by Abolitionists for the very reason that southern men like you are now labor ing to crush him out—“on account of his opinions and doctrines of the Territorial question.” And the samo opinion and doctrines on the territorial question that he held when the demons of Abolitionism beset his path and howled execrations in his ears, he holds without change or mod ification, now, when disunionism is spit ting its fire at him.’ Your hatred of the man, who was your friend is still the bold and manly advocate of all your rights, makes yon as blind as we arc told the venom of snakes makes those reptiles in dog-days. The opinions and doctrines of Mr. Douglas would give you at least a chance for securing a slave State out of the Territories, and especially if the climate, soil and productions invited slave labor, that you reject and throw him aside with scorn because he and his friends will not consent to say that slavery doos not exist in all the Territories by virtue of the Constitution, and that Con gress should protect it there against the wishes even of the inhabitants thereof.— And what is it you are inviting, nay, aid ing to take control ofthe General Govern ment, by the course you are pursuing? It is a power which abhors slavery—which declares it to be the sum of all human vil- ainies—which lias for one of its fundamen tal maxims, that your slaves arc not prop erty and you have no right to their servi ces—which declares that, when in posses sion of the Federal Government, you shall not take your slaves into the Territories even though climate, soil and productions invite them, and the people want them —which threatens to drive you from ev ery department of the General Government back within the States,” where your in stitution “must die—it may be as a pris oned cat dies of age in its hole?’—which will reader the fugitive slave lair a-nntity —which threatens to eradicate slavery from the States where it exists; and in case of resistance on your part, will giye the slaves to understand that in an insur rection to reaver their liberties they are fighting only their masters, not th& Gen- hire ky tee I willifot Jitgoise Crete yon tito fret that I ui'lwre to-night the friend of John Bell, [chcens] nobte Tennesseean who knows no Hdcth, no Sooth, no East, ho West - [Cheers.] I am for him, because I not only know him aa a man, but jbe cause I knew him long and intimately.— I had the honor of serving with him in the House of Representatives, and in Con gress. I know him in private and in pub- life—at the fireside with his wife and fern ily, and out of doors—and I am free to say, that a man more true to the land which we all love, does not breathe the breath of life. [Applause. ] Thera is a nother man before us for the Presidency; I know him well; he is my personal friend and I must confess that I believe him to be a man of the highest order of talents, and if ho were elected President, I have not the slightest doubt that he would make a good one, because he is patriotic and honorable and it is my opinion that he would make as good ^President as John Bell. I believe that he would promote the happiness of tho peo ple, and administer the laws asjustly and wisely. That man is Stephen A. Douglas. [Cheers.] There is another gentleman a bout whom I must say a few words; he is a Kentuckian—from the land of Clay— his name is John C. Breckinridge. I have not the honor of knowing Mr. Breckinrcdge personally, but from what I know of him, I have only to say that he can be known by the company with whom he associates, and that however he may boast of being the friend of the Union, he occupies a bad position from the fact that he is now in company with those who are opposed to the Union. I feel it my duty to say here now that I would support Douglas before I would support Brcckin - ridge.

Do you expect to be successful under such faithlessness ? Do you expect to win the confidence of the country while thus repudiating your solemn agreement? Do yon look for the sympathy of conserva tive men while you display an utter reck lessness of consequences ?
