The Kind of Sermons to Preach. —
Lord Coleridge advises English clergy
men Dot to grapple, with questions which
they do not understand. He says: "Ser
mons or speeches which are not thor
ough, and in which imperfect argument
is eked out with feeling and devotion, do
more barm than good. Whereas, a man
by leaving the whole matter alone, and
insisting on the spiritual needs of man,
and the spiritual help which the Christ
ian religionigives him, can at least do no
harm, and with many natures mav do in
finite good.”
THE MOCTHKHN MKMOCRACY.
A few of the Northern Democratic
papers are persistent iu charging up
on Houthsrn Democratic Congress
men and other Southern leaders of
the party the responsibility for the
iuaugurutioa of Hayes, also a barguln
and sale arrangement by which a
Republican Spoakor of tho House is
to bo elected. The Cincinnati Enqui
rer (or at least its Washington repor
ter) is, we regret to say, one of
those papers. The Enquirer of Thurs
day last explicitly charges Gen. Gor
don and Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar with
such conduct, and incidentally im
putes tho same to-Hon. B. 11. Hill.
Nothing could bo more unjust
or unfair. Goo. Gordon and Mr.
Hill have pointedly and em
phatically denied their knowl
edge of or complicitl y in any
such intrigues,and yet the Enquirer's
Washington reporter alludes to their
denials only to reiterate the charges!
When a charge is made against a
man, and he denies flk, the only thing
next in order is for his accuser to
prove or retract. Mere reiteration
amounts to nothing and is justly re
garded as a tacit confession of inabil
ity to sustain the charge.
The real truth about the Jftmo
cratic loss of tho Presidency, after
having fairly elected Mr. Tllden, is
this: A large portion of the North
ern Democracy (particularly in the
East) would not take the resolute
stand by which, and by which ulone,
they had any chance to defeat the
Radical gain e of fraud aud intimida
tion. From the day of the Presiden
tial election until the consum
mation of tho outrage on the 4th
of March, the Radical programme
was clearly defined, while the Dem
ocrats had no concerted or settled
policy. It is idle for any Northern
paper or politician to tell the people
of the South that they are to blame
for this demoralization and lack of
.'unity. We east the “solid vote” of
the South for Tilden and Hendricks,
and it devolved on the Democrats of
the North to see that the vote-was
counted in that way. They know,
as well as we know, that any demon
strations by tho Southern Democra
cy for opposing force and fraud by
force would have done the cause
more harm than good. The North
ern Democrats would have advised
us to keep quiet and let .them man
age tho case. Iu fact, that was
substantially tho very advice
which Eastern Democrats gave.
Tho party was distracted, and
that portion of it whicli as
sumed the leadership was irresolute
ami too conservative, not to say
timid. In this condition of affairs—
without agreement or the hope of
agreement upon any effective meas
ures of opposition to the Radical pro
gramme—Southern Democrats had
to consider tho acceptance of the
Electoral Commission as a means of
compromising or adjusting the mat
ter. Wo did not favor tno accept
ance oT the Commission, but wo have
had no reproaches for the course of
Southern Congressmen who, under
the circumstances, thought best to
accept it. They knew that many of
their Northern allies would not
agreo to any proceedings more ef
fective, and that the cause was in a
desperate plight, and they only sub
mitted to what was inevitable with
out bolder leadership and better
agreement.
The Presidency having thus been
lost to the Democracy in spite of the
“solid vote” of the South, reproaches
of Southern men for making an effort
to secure from tho new administra
tion a recognition of their local con
stitutional rights come with a bad
grace from sections which contribu
ted so little to a Democratic triumph
either before or after the election.
Aro we to be expected to desert prin
ciple and disregard our own rights
and interests because we may have a
chance to secure them through a Re
publican Instead of a Democratic
administration, simply because the
former was not the one of our choice
or making ? The Baltimore Gazette
correctly states the duty and
policy of the Democrats of
the South: "When the President
docs right, he should be prompt
ly applauded. When ho does
•wrong he should be swiftly and se
verely condemned. The country will
never forgot tho crooked and indi
rect manner iu which he reached his
plaee. The blot on his Commission
and tho taint on his title will never
be ignored, but ho can do much to
make the outraged masses forgive
the infamous crime against popular
suffrage which prevented the right
ful owner of the Presidential office
from taking his seat. Ho has kept the
faith in South Carolina, and he prom
ises to do tho same in Louisiana.
This does not make him loss of a Re
publican nor more of a Democrat.
It is simply a spectacle not often
seen iu these degenerate days—a pub
lic man with convictions of duty
from which he cannot be swerved by
Inutile action in his own party.

11. Stephen*.
We are glad to learn that the Hon.
A. H. Stephens continues to improve
in health, and that he is now writing
to his friends us usual. The follow
ing is an extract from a private letter,
written by bint from Washington
City, to a friend, under date of the
18th iDsr. :
“I am decidedly in favor of the
proposed State Convention. I have,
it is true, heretofore looked upon a
call for such a Convention as prema
ture. But the time has now come, I
trust, for its call; and I hope the
ablest men of the Stato will be sent
to it, irrespective of past party dis
tinctions.
“Let‘Wisdom, Justice and Mod
eration’ prevail iu its councils, and
tho result of its action will be bene
ficial to all classes of our people.”

M ill TIIK CONVENTION MIOCI.II EE
<41.1.R0.
Editors* Times : In my last commu
nication I endeavored to show that
the present Constitution was not
made by the people of Georgia, but
that it was a declaration of rights
made by the agents of tho Republi
can party, appointed by a Republican
Congress, which required an admis
sion readily granted by its subserv
ient tools, t.o wit: That the poople oi
Georgia possessed no inherent right
of self-government, bat that all
rights exercised by them were per
missive, and that tho source of power
was not in the State, but in tho Gov
ernment of tho United States.
The Republican party made war to
centralize all Htato power in the Fed
eral Government. Tho emancipation
of slavery was tho pretext, but the
absorption of State sovereignty wai
tho concealed object of the war.
As conquerors they determined to
reap the fruits of their victory and
they mode the conquered States the
instruments through which to de
stroy all pretence of State rights ;
while the war passion predominated
at the North, the Northern people
did not watch with jealousy the vio
lation of constitutional rights, they
vainly flattered themselves that the
evil consequences would be confined
to the conquered States, and they
helped by their votes to swell the
majority of a party bent on de
stroying the federative character of
tho Government so that it should no
longer be a compact or league be
tween sovereign States, but that it
should henceforth be a nation like
the English or French nation, a body
of people united not under the same
Constitution but under the same
sovereign or government.
Asa means to effect this end, they
determined that tho conquered
States should not re-enter the union
as co-equals iu a common Govern
ment, but in the hour of their admis
sion, they should form a Constitu
tion by permission of the Govern
ment; in which Constitution they
should, as a condition of its ratifica
tion,disrobe themselves of sovereign
ty, and do their part to nationalize
tho Government, obliterate State
rights, and admit that the central or
General Government wts the source
of all power; that the rights of tile
Government were no longer limited
by the Constitution, but were abso
lute in the General Government ae
the supreme power and only sover
eign.
They required more than that.
They required that it should be writ
ten in the Constitution of Georgia,
that every man who bore arms iu the
Confederate war, and every woman
who gave food or raiment to a Con
federate soldier, deserved death, and
owed life to the generous forbearance
of the Republican party, then in jtos
session of all the departments of the
General Government.
To meet the first view tho 83d sec
tion of the declaration of “funda
mental principles” declares:
“That tiie people of Georgia are a
part of the American Nation; every
citizen thereof owes paramount alle
giance to the Constitution and Gov
ernment of the United States, and
no law or ordinance of this State in
contravention or subversion thereof
shall ever have any binding force."
All previous Constitutions, all
Constitutions made by tho people
instead of the above, declared as the
supreme law, the Constitution of the
United States and the laws of the
United States made in pursuance
thereof.
Why was this alteration made? It
is not accidental or immaterial, it is
Vital to the rights ,of States; it de
stroys all limitations in the Constitu
tion by which the powers of the Gen
eral Government are circumscribed;
it is an admission that the Govern
ment is absolute—as it is not; it is a
denial that it is limited by tho Con
stitution—as it is.
If this is our Constitution, then if
the United States Government was to
disperse our Legislature to-morrow,
as Grant did disperse the Legislature
of Louisiana, we would be without
remedy! Oa what ground could we
oppose the presence of the military ?
Not ou that of usurpation, because
we declared “the duty of obedience to
any act of the Generul Government,
and further declared that no law or
ordinance of the State of Georgia in
contravention thereof, shall over
have any binding force.” The result
of the war denied the right of seces
sion ; this Constitution denies a right
to have a judicial determination of
the powers of Government.
This is not our declaration, as I
have already shown, because the
Constitution was not made by a Con
stitutional constituency; it was not
made by the people for the people, it
was made by the agents of the Re
publican party for the Republican
party.
We now have the power to
alter it by calling a Conven
tion of the people to frame a
new Constitution, and wo have the
power to adopt and ratify it by refus
ing to call a Convention; between
these two propositions we must
choose, there is no escaping the
issue! It is submitted to the people
and they are obliged to decide it one
way or the other.
If this principle so vital to public
liberty is not true, do we deserve to
be free if we voluntarily surrender it?
Do we show a proper appreciation of
our own rights or the rights of pos
terity if we refuse even to convene
and consider it?
Is it worthy of Georgians to sur
render the great principle that the
General Government has no powers
except such as aro delegated to it by
the Constitution, when this has been
the admitted fact from 1789 to the
present hour, contradicted no where,
except in the Constitution of 1868,
aud perhaps similar constitutions in
other Southern States, made under
the same conditions of duress, aud
repudiated by State ufter State as
soon as tho manacles have been re
moved? Shall it bo left for freo Geor
gia, alone, to refuse to eruse from
her organic law, this fearful heresy?
The Supreme Court of the United
States has declared the doctrine false
by deciding tbe Civil Rights Bill to
be void, because it wus without con
stitutional warrant.
The Executive disobeyed the man
date of the Republican party and
yielded obedience to the Constitution
by withdrawing the military forces
from South Carolina, as lie will do
from Louisiana, because the people
of the United States under the Dem
ocratic organization have declared
ihat the use of the army for such
purpose is without warrant of the
Constitution and violative of State
rights—lt matters not on what pre
text the troops may be withdrawn,
the true reason is that the people de
maud that the constitutional limita
tions shall be preserved.
Shall Georgia, alone, accept this
Republican doctrine of centralization
and engraft, the lie in the organic
law, as a lasting reproach to her
manhood and her integrity? This is
one of the questions before tho peo
ple, and if there was no other it
would control my mind in favor
of a Convention. But the second
proposition to wbich I referred in the
beginning of this article is contained
in the 25th section of “the Funda
mental Principles:”
"Treason against the State of Geor
gia alm\l consist only \n levying war
against the State or the United States,
or adhering to the enemies thereof,
giving them aid and comfort.”
The insertion of the clause had a
doubH purpose, one was to deDy al
legiance to the State, and the other
was to fix the crime of treason
against Georgia upon every Con
federate soldier and every woman
ip tho Stuto who gave them
aid and comfort; the crime of
treason against Georgia, and to de
clare that the only people who were
not ffuilty were the loyal men in that
Convention and such of their constit
uents as rejoiced during tho war at
our misfortunes and at its end tri
umphed in our defeat. Why interpo
late or the United Stales, adhering to
its enemies, &c? This clause
was put in the Constitution not
to punish for crime, but to
shadow with dishonor the survivors
of the battles, the dead heroes whose
memories are enshrined in your
hearts, aud the noble women of the
South who gave them aid and com
fort and adhered to them when hope
had fled from the sterner hearts
which still beat bravely in the front
of battle.
When that Convention was held
our hearthstones were in mourning,
our homes desolate, our fortunes
wasted, our hearts wrung with sor
rows more than we could bear; it
was the time when magnanimity and
generous forbearance would have
been balm to onr wounds; but it was
a time too of helplessness, when
impotence could strike with impurity,
when blows to the vanquished were
rewarded with spoils from the victor;
to dishonor our people, and brand
them as traitors to thoir native
State, was an opportunity not to be
lost. Tne stigma was put upon us,
and engrafted in the organic law.
Shall we refuse to call a Convention
and leave it there ? Shall we make it
ours by acquiescence aud adoption?
Or shall we meet in convention, strike
it out, and leave it to time to shed the
light of truth upon the history of the
past ?
We owe it to the dead—but more to
ourselves —to call a Convention and
erasq the section from our organic
law. It can not harm the soldier, who
sleeps his last sleep; but it is a re
proach to the living, every hour that
it remains by our consent.
I could go on and show clause
after clause in this Republican Con
stitution that would brand us with
eternal infamy, if we. had made it—
and which appeal to us, as we love
truth, as wo value liberty, as we
respect ourselves, to exercise the right
of a free people and call a Conven
tion. But I fear I have wearied your
readers, and will postpone further
discussion to another time.
