From a ma>-of t waddle we take the i following: •• fhe (South never sought any ]>ecuniarv advantaye from the < Jov ern men t oft he l uited States; sheouylit to seek none now. 1 was in congress seventeen years, and in my own district in Fas : tern (Jeoryia. and I say to you now that i never got a dollar out 'of 1 lie Treasury for one single spot in that district. I was not sent thereto steal. Fvery dol* lar taken from the Treasury for one particular locality is an in justice to the rest of the country, and I can tell you to tlie glory of my constituents, that in the sev enteen years of my public ser vice in Congress no man infieor yia asked me t* do it.“ Such drivel as this is an einan ation of the theory that work is ihdiasiny. and that, unless a man live of the proceeds of other men's labor, fhe money he spends is vulgar and contaminating. It is proper, however, that it should come from the lips of one who, more than any of the leaders of tin* past, lured the South into the notion of a slaveocracv to fie achieved by secession upon the ruins of tlx* union. In the old time no one was so bold, as no one was so brilliant, ns Too sms’ in describing the ylorv which awaited the (Southern States as soon as they should detach them selves from the Northern States and set it]) a Confederacy of their own. (lotion, in the char a* ; ter of king, was to rule the world. The black population was to do all the work. Once out of the Fnion, the w hite man would have nothiny to do but to sit on iiis veranda and suck iced drinks. That was Too Jins' I’topia. Well, the tug of war came, and how was it 1 — The South lost its all. Rut Toombs was shrewd enough to save in’s portion. He came out with both his life and fortune.— He has never known a day of want or sorrow. A rich man to begin with, he is a rich man to day. A sellisli egotist, with an unquenchable vanity, he has de voted the last ten years to such utterances as, by their violence, should keep him. at tlx* expense of his country and his people, be fore tlx* public.

Another ch.’ m with Strother neiaixui i- prinying ttp*iu the South. Neci ity*i-,tlie mother of political principles, \y> less than of invention. Mr. Too jibs duped our fathers. He can not dupe us. We know him; 4 ,ve know him well and to our cost; in our lost fortunes, in our mis applied opportunities, in our hard lot. His philosophy. Ids policy, is written all over the waste pla ces of the South. It blazes upon us out.of a ruinous vacuity. It says to us, “beware of words, trust only to works.” It bids us look across the mystic line divid ing the sections into the land that Too jibs has spent his days in abusing and regard the condition of the people on whom he has exhausted the vocabulary of ha tred and contempt. For fifty years the North, carrying out in it~ politics the business ideas it practiced in its daily looked to substantial things; the South to mere glory. %i the North, a representative was es teemed for what he could i/n ; in the South for what he could tun/. The advantages fell, as a matter of course, all upon the side of the men of business. Hence tlx* vast inequalities of Government- ben efice enjoyed by the two sections of the Fnion. To make a ready illustration. Kentucky pays more taxes than New England; hut, according to Mr. Too jibs’ theory, it is dishonorable for Kentucky to receive a dollar of Govern ment aid, though New England, animated by no such ridiculous scruples, goes quietly to work, through men picked for the pur pose, and ta'kes whatever she wants. Tlie south is too poor to dabble in such nonsense. Rhetoric (lights about the materialization of American politics have no longer any terrors or charms for the (Southern mind. It will be time enough to talk about the debasing influences of dollars and cents when the account is a little nearer even. After, we have leveled up a bit, we may discount the outstanding over plus and call the difference square. Menu while, tlie public interest, to say nothing about the public justice, requires that somewhat of the help so lavishly expended upon the North he at least doled out to the South. As for Mr. Too jibs, he may stand aside. There is a plent yof men to he had who are not so fastidious, as he pretends to be, nor indeed so prosperous as he really is.— His independence would he less discreditable if it were not so cheap, so vainglorious and so easy. In the old time he was the Northern extremists’ best ally. If he had any influence left, lie would now be the ally of those cormorant corporations in the North, which, holding in their iron grasp monopolies of tlie most gigantic description, would shut the South forever out of the range of competition. Fortunately lu* is powerless. It is ”iven one man to destroy his people once only. —Courier •Journal. Ol' Coiii'si*. Here comes tin- Hon. Bon Hill, head down and tail up, and we trust everybody will now climb on the nearest fence as quickly as possible. Mr. Hill wants a convention to make over the | Georgia constitution, lie com plains of the present instrument because **it brands the late war as a rebellion and because it de clares that paramount allegi ance is due hy every Georgian jto the national government.”— | All this, the telegraph reports, in a recent speech at LaGrange. Mr. Hill is notoriously the best talker to Buncombe in the whole \of Georgia.
