MR. STEPHENS, DR. BLEDSOE, AND
THE RICHMOND DISPATCH. n
*A few days since, there appeared in our
news columns an article credited to the
Richmond Dispatch entitled “ Stephens vs.
Bledsoe. '1 he Right of Secession .” As some
times happens in journalism, this article
was selected Cursorily. It was likewise se
lected because, at a rapid survey, it seemed
to be“i well-considered statement of Mr.
Stephens’ position in the past and a judi
cious sketch of his masterly dissection of
Dr. Bledsoe's elaborate but bad tempered
’review. A more car&ful perusal of the Dis
patch article has convinced us that, though
kindly meant, it does Mr. Stephens great
injustice. Nor was this all. The unfortu
nate article, in being prepared for the press,
was terribly mixed up in the form and its
paragraphs seriously disordered. We re
produce it, this morning, for the purpose of
restoring its symmetry and for the further
purpose of presenting a few counter-state
ments demanded by the implications it con
tains.
Tlje averment that “ Mr. Stephens has,
for years, occupied a singular position in
the estimation of the Southern people” is a
very strange one, considering that thd
Southern people are supposed to be ac
quainted with his public record. The rea
sons given for this extraordinary statement
are al together gratuitous. The declaration
that Mr. Stephens had abstained “ from
such participation in the prosecution of the
war as had been expected” looks like a re
petition of a sentiment studiously attempt
ed to be engrafted on the public mind,
during the war, bv a class of writers whose
efforts partially succeeded in weakening his
Influence and the influence of his well
known opinions—well-known to the public
authorities—as to the best means of prose
cuting the war. What was expected of Mr.
Stephens ? He was chosen Vice-President.
It could not be expected that he would
enter flic field as an active combatant. His
sphere was the council-chamber. In that
sphere was anything expected of him lie
did not faithfully perform ? Was any one
more active, more -zealous, more successful
in the discharge of duties devolvingou him ?
Did Mr. Stephens ever show remissness
in anything pertaining to ills duties.- It is
true ttiat lie opposed the policy of Conscrip
tion, Impressment and the Suspension of the
writ of Habeas Corpus. It is true that he
earnestly remonstrated against all of these
measures, and urged, with all the zeal he
possessed, a line of policy with regard to
the finances and the mode of raising troops
which he thought the best for success.
We know that he told those in authority—
fi'oin the President down to members of the
Senate and House—Jliat as certain as the sun
would set at due time, that the line of policy
they were inaugurating in April , 1862, would
end , if persisted in, in our overthrow and
on t in. /
Now, if it was that he would
advocate measures which lie knew to be
disastrous, then the statement in the
Dispatch may be true. But it is well
known that lie abstained from saying
or doing that which was calculated to
produce dcsertibns or dissensions. His
views were well known to the Presi
dent, to the Cabinet and to Congress. The
country also knew them very well. But
to prevent their having any effect upon
the public mind, in bringing about a
change of policy in a legitimate way, the
effort, was studiously made to destroy his
influence by representing him as not only
lukewarm, but, with insinuations as cruel
as could be, that he was more than half
traitor to the cause. This is the truth of
the case. All this misrepresentation Mr.
Stephens bore in silence. But to have it
repeated by one who seemingly undertakes
to put him right before the public must be
painful. When we say lie bore this attack
upon his motives in silence, we simply mean
that lie did not reply to these quasi charges
of infidelity to the cause. It was not in
the nature of a pure patriot like Mr. Ste
phens to become the leader of an opposi
tion party or faction. Ilis views of public
policy were fully given to the country.
His speech at Savannah in March, 1861; at
Richmond in April, 1862, before the State
convention; speeches all through this Dis
trict of Georgia in the Summer of 1862; at
Sparta and at Crawfordviile in 1863; at
Milledgeville in 1864; as well as letters to
Tiros. J. Sf.mmes and others in 1864—a1l
these were given to the public and in them
to-day may be traced our course, from the
brightest prospects of success to the most fear
ful disas cr that has ever befallen a brave, con-'
Jiding, generous and noble-mindedpeople. To
understand thoroughly the causes of our
defeat., the writer of the Dispatch article
need but read and study Mr.- Stephens’
public speeches. With all these before him,
it must be cuttingly painful to Mr. Ste
phens to read the statement that, at this
late day, he iiad put himself right before
the public and that the public was indebt
ed to Dr. Bledsoe for this information !
We fear the writer of the Dispatch article
knows but little of Mr. Stephens person-;
ally, or has but a faint conception of his
nature. Nor yet does he appear to have a
profound knowledge of the doctrines of
Mr. Stephens, as enunciated in his “ Con
stitutional Vieic ■ of the War Between the
States.'' ll this be an error of judgment on
our part, how does, it happen that Mr.
Stephens is made to maintain the “ inde
feasible sovereignty of the States?” Mr.
Stephens maintained no such absurdity.
Sovereignty, so we understand him to main
tain, sovereignty is defeasible; sovereignty
is a political right. All political rights are
defeasible. The writer in the Dispatch evi
dently confounds sovereignty with the nat
ural rights of man, whicn are indefeasible.
Sovereignty is acquired by the acquisition
of Nationality and can bS parted,with in
divers ways.
We strongly doubt the correctness of the
language attributed to Mr. Stephens, in
1850. Our recollection of it is substan
tially thus:
“If aggression come; if disunion follows,
as it ought—then, as Kossgth said of
another, I say of him who will not stand by
his State in that event —‘ the curses of the
Eternal God would rest upon him.”
This, wc take it, was the substantial
language of Mr. Stephens, which, bv the
way, Was not used in 1850, but on the 13th
of December, 1849.
In another column we reproduce the Dis
patch article as it should have appeared, in
exact paragraphjc order. We beg that our
esteemed friend the Savannah Morning
News , from whose columns we clipped it,.
will compare the present text with the text
of his journal. It may be that the original
typographical disorder occurred with him;
it may be that it occurred at Richmond.
GRANT AND CONGRESS.
General Grant is ostensibly
apostle of peace; Congress, from its first
essay this season, promises to agitate the
other way. Between Grant and Congress,
the future presents a pretty kettle of fish.
It is Jack Sprat and his wife over again
“Jack Sprat could eat no iat;
His wife could eat no lean, .
Aud so* it chanced betweer them botn,
They licked the platter clean. ’
Down South the platter is rather un
promising. Up North the prospect is
better. Lick away, Messieurs. We are
used to it; the trooly lo'd are not.

The Confederate Government Not De Facto.
In the Circuit Court of the United States
for the District of Virginia, Chief Justice
Chase Juts just delivered an opinion, in the
case of the administrators, pf Ctiatliarine
C. Keppell vs. The Petersburg Railroad
which establishes, so far as a
circuit clvirt judgment can establish —there
beinsr an appeal to the Supreme Court—the
principle that stockholders in “loyal”
States have a right to dividends declared
during the war on stock held by them in
Southern railroads, notwithstanding the
confiscation of such stock and dividends
by the Confederate Government.
The opinion the reader may peruse for
himself. In it are two points which de
mand attention. The first is that the Chief
Justice of the United States sees fit, in his
official capacity, to ignore the name and
style of this government as established by
thatlConstitution he is sworn to support.
Speaking of the Confederate Government
he says: “It never held the natidnaJ capital.
It never asserted any authority to repre
sent the nation.” It would be. instructive
to know what the Chief Justice means by
“the nation,” and where “the national
capital” is" to be found. Authority for this
nomenclature is nowhere to be had in the
Constitution. The preamble to that in
strument says: “We, the people of the
United States, &c., &c., do ordain and
establish this Constitution for the United
Stales of America.” This, then, iO the
official designation of the republic, and we
have aright to expect that the Chief Justice
will pay that much respect to his country
as not to call it out of its name. Surely,
lie would not have a case entered on his
docket as “The Nation vs. A B” and,
wherefore, then, employ a misnomer at the
termination of a suit that he would not
admit at its beginning? As to “the optional
capital” and “the national authority” and
“the. national government,” the same ob
jection holds. The official designation of
all these matters is set forth in the Congtitu
tion, and the Chief Justice is not above the
duty of regard thereto, as “the seat of
government of the United States” (Art. 1.,
sec. 8, par. 16; Art. XII. Amendments, par.
1), and not the national capital; “the au
thority of the United States’’ (Art. 1., sec.
6, par! 2; Art.. VI., par. 2), not the national
authority; and “the Government of the
United States” (Art. L, sec. 8, par. 16, ib.,
par. IT), not the national government—all
of which latter are bosh, and, while ex
ceedingly unbecoming in the mouth of the
Chief J ustice at any time,are most especially
go when, as in tliis case of Keppell vs.
The Petersburg Railroad Company, the
gist of his opinion turns upon legal her
meneutics. He is discussing the nature of
a de facto government, aud how Impertinent,
legally speaking, in such connection this
use of unwarrantable colloquialisms.
The second point made by the Chief Jus
tice is, so far a; it i| possible to discern a
cloudy meaning, that the Confederate Gov
ernment was not ade fur,to government. As
it is also his opinion that it was not a de
jure government, what Was it? It is unde
niable that, in the words of the Chief Justice
lumseif, in this very case, it was “ actually
organized as a government, and actually
exercising the powers of a government,
within a large extent of territory, not
merely in hostility to the regular and law
ful government, but in complete exclusion
of it from the whole territory subject to the
Insurgent control;” and it would seem that,
on this showing, it was, beyond all doubt,
de facto, but the Chief Justice hesitates a
doubt. Perhaps he thinks it a myth, for
myth it was unless a de facto or a dejure
government, and lie cannot, exactly concede
that it was either, TilP point of import
ance for this reason. lij few, allegiance
and protection arc reciprocal, and where a
government fails or refuses to protect t)ie
citizen, Mich fault or inability works for its
continuance, a solution of allegiance. As the
Government of the United States was unable
for some years to protect many citizens,
those citizens it is contrary U> public law
to now punish for acts then done in ol)P"
dtence to that government which, pro
tempore, prevailed, the presumption being
always that each citizen would have been
faithful to ids allegiance unless therein pre
vented by what is technically known as tjip
vis major, or force. This just, sensible, and
tender rule—originated in the wars of the
Roses and of force in English law for four
centuries —Chief Justice Chase sees fit to
trample under foot, and, at a time when
peace is the heart’s desire, to .reopen the
keenest sores of the war, Interest reipubliew
finis sit litiiim is tire rule that should receive
its weight; but, so far from this, a direct
invitation is extended in Iteppeil vs. The
Petersburg Railroad Company to the insti
tution of the most annoying, complicated,
and, for the most part, worthless -suits.
• Before the floodgates open, it is to be
hoped the Supreme Court may have tiie
opportunity to review so very remarkable
a decision.

Rectifying History. „
Now that there is an interval when mere
election excitements and the partisan mo
tives for falsyfying history have lost some
of their weight, interesting rectifications of
history are allowed to take place.
One of these, in regard to President Bu
chanan, is made by William B. Reed, of
Philadelphia, under these circumstances:
Mr. W. D. Kelly, a Radical member of
Congress lrom the city of Philadelphia,
noted for liis Radical virulence at Washing l
ton, and for some antics he exhibited in the
same cause, on his visit to the South, a year
or so ago, made, during the last canvass, a
violent attack on the deceased President
Buchanan—charging that he and the ex-
Seeretary of War, John B. Floyd, connived
with Gen. Twiggs, then in command of the
United States troops in Texas and New
Mexico, in the surrender of the troops to
the Confederates; and that they had given
up forts and arsenals, gorged with arm*
and ammunition, implying that they had
previously disposed, with a view to surren
dering them to the secessionists.
The second clause of this charge, that of
distributing guns and ammunition, lias been
long since exploded as a fact. The proof
has been often produced from official sources
that there was no such distribution, and,
therefore, could be no such intent.
The first part, which charged Mr. Bu
chan in with a guilty knowledge of the sur
render by Gen. Twiggs, was taken up by
Win. B. Reed, Esq., of Philadelphia, who
was charged.by Mr. Buchanan with the
care of his papers aud-the preDaration of a
full memoir of liis administration. Mr.
Kelly publicly alleged that this conduct of
Mr. Buchanan could be proved by the let
ter book of Gen. Twiggs, now in possession
of his executor, Edward Shippen, of Phila
delphia.
Mr. Reed applied to Mr. Shippen to know
whether Mr. Kelley’s statement was so au
thorized as alleged, and, if so, to be furnish
ed with the proof.
Mr. Shippen’s reply is, in the first in
stance, damaging to Mr. Kelley. He says
he is not the executor of General Twiggt,
never had the letter book in his possession,
and never authorized anybody tasay so.
Mr. Kelley thus stands convicted by his
own witness of having perverted testi
mony, and invented tacts to sustain liis ac
cusation against Mr. Buchanan.
What followed is damaging to Mr. Ship
pen himself, as a man of candor. He took
no pains to set himself right before.the pub
lic, to which he had been presented as a
witness of facts, of which fie avers, that of
some he knew nothing, and of others that
he knew them to be not true.'. He not only
■suffered liis name to be used to give cur
rency to a falsehood, but when applied to
by Mr. Reed for explanation, answers that
what Mr. Kelley said was not true, but
made the admission under conditions
which bound Mr. Reed not to make the
exposure public. He enjoined upon Mr.
Reed to hold his letter to be confidential,
until otnerwise permitted by Mr. S'lippen.
The motive for this request was given yer
bally. It turns out that he wanted the
truth to be withheld until after the elec
tions ! He did not want Mr. KelleyAo lose
the advantage of the lie until the truth
would no longer be able to hurt him politi
cally, or his party with him. In this mat
ter it takes some fine casuistry to distin
guish the degrees of political immorality
between Mr. Kelley who, to accomplish po
litical aims, asserted untruths within the
knowledge of Mr. Shippen, and Mr. Ship
pen, who, in furtherance of the same ob
jects, suppressed the truth.
But. Mr. Shippen asserted that he had
seen copies of a correspondence between
Gen. Twiggs and the late President, in
which Gen. Twiggs announced his inten
tion to make the surrender to the Mate of
Texas should she request it, and that Mr
Buchanan undoubtedly suffered him to re
main in comm’aud until too late to prevent
the deed.
To this averment, differing in form from
Mr. Kelley’s, Mr. Reed addressed himself in
defense of Mr. Buchanan, lie xvrote to
GeiA Joseph Holt, who was Secretary of
War to Mr. Buchanan from the 3tst De
cember, 1860, to March, 1861, which in
cludes the whole period of these Texas matr
ters, and to Col. Kelton, the Assistant Ad
jutant General of the army, who has charge
of the records of the War Department, and
received replies, which lie has published.
Gen. Holt writes that he was in daily
communication wTth President Buchanan
during that time, and that in none of these
interviews did he (the President) state or
intimate that he had in any way given
countenance or connivance to the surrender
of Twiggs. Twiggs was removed on the
28th of January, aud the surrender took
place February 18. Holt further testifies
to the President’s “ surprise gnd indigna
tion ” at the act. and his immediate issuing
of an order for striking the name of Twiggs
from the rolls of the army. Holt concludes
with stating his conviction that the charge
of Mr. Kelley, which includes the supple
mental surmises of Mr. Shippen, “ was
made in total misconception of the facts.”
The Assistant Adjutant General-writes
t mt the records of the War Department
have been examined, and “ nothing can be
found to lead to a supposition that any
such correspondence ever took place.”
The subject is, therefore, completely dis
posed of, by authorities which are not to be
doubtejl ill to their “ loyalty ” dur
ing the war, or their means of obtaining ac
curate information. Mr. Buchanan’s repu
tation is fully re-established, if it were ever
affected or seriously iu danger. What re
mains tfo be accounted for is Mr. Kelley’s
audacious falsification of testimony, and
Mr. Shippen’s connivance, by the suppres
sion of his own testimony, and the inquiry,
whence came the pretended correspondence
•referred to by Mr. Shippen, wfdch is evi
dently a forgery ! _

Stephens vs. Bledsoe—The Rieht of r Se
6ession.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, has for years
occupied a singular position in the estima
tion of the Southern public. His speeches,
made just before the late war commenced,
liis abstinence from such participation in
the prosecution of that war, as had been
expected from him, aud, more than all, we
suspect, the manner in which Northern pa
pers are in the habit of speaking of him,
induced a doubt as to whether lie really
believed the Southern States had a right to
secedq from the Uniou. No man could give
a good reason for doubting Mr. Stephens’
devotion to his own section. He it was
who, in 1850, when few men would have
dared to deliver such language in such a
place, uttered, in Washington City, the
startling imprecation, “ Let the curses of
the eternal God rest upon the traitor who
will not stand by liis own section.” Whilst
still a leading Whig member of Congress,
however, he seemed mimh inclined towards
acting with the uneom[Womising Democrats
from his section. His fidelity to ills party
was then in the same sort of doubt which
afterwards appeared to surround liis posi
tion as a champion of the doctrines of the
rights of the States. It was doubtless a
prejudice against him, imbibed during the
war, that caused Professor Bledsoe, the
able editor of the Baltimore Quarterly Re
view, lo criticise Mr. Stephens’ “Constitu
tional View of the Date War” in a captious
and unfriendly lqauper. In the October
number of tiiat quarterly he took the dis
tinguished Georgian to task, aud charged
him with various offenses. The public lias
reason to thank Professor’ Bledsoe for
this view; for it has called Mr. Stephens
opt in a loqg letter, which appears in the
Baltimore Statesman of last week, in which
he defines his position in the most, unequivo
cal language, and clears up every doubt
as to the opinions lie holds (and lias always
held) in reference to the rights of the
Bfatps. He shows that liis book is con
sistent with )iis previous record as a states
man, including in thfe fetterjPfpour.se,
liis celebrated speech of 1860 before the
Legislature of Georgia in denunciation of
the proposal to secede from the Union. —
He demonstrates that whilst this speech
was directed against the' jn lipy of secession,
it clearly a Imitted the right of secession;
that, whilst it denied (as well it might) the
right of the Legislature of Georgia to pass
an ordinance of secession, it pointed to the
people themselves, speaking through a con
vention, as having the right- to pass such an
ordinance. He shows that he never, as
charged by ids reviewers, confounded the
right of secession with the right of revolu
tion, and that the error of the reviewer re
sulted from a careless perusal or inexcus
able misapprehension of the language em -
ployed in his book. He admits that lie did
not and does not believe in any “ constitu
tional v right of a State to secede ; but in a
right snppr-ppnstitutional—an inherent in
defeasible, sovereign right, of which the
framers of the Constitution never dreamed
of divesting the States, and for the exercise
of which they therefore made no provision.
He quotes the following extract from his
books on this point:
“ Now, as to the rightfulness of the State’s
thus resuming her sovereign powers. In
doing it she seceded from-the Union to
which, in the language of Mr. Jefferson as
well as General Washington, siie had ac
ceded as a ’sovereign State. She repealed
her ordinance by which she ratified and
agreed to the Constitution and became a
party to the compact under it. She de
clared herself no longer bound by that com
pact, anrl dissolved her alliance with the
other parties to it. The Constitution of
tiie United States and the laws passed in
pursuance of it, were no longer the su
preme law of the people of Georgia, any
more than the treaty with France was the
supreme law of both countries after its
abrogation! in 1798 by the same rightful
authority which had made it iu the begin
ing. In answer to your question, whether
she could do this without a breach of her
solemn obligations under tire compact, 1
give this full and direct answer: She had a
perfect right to do so, subject to no au
thority but the great moral law which’
governs the intercourse between Indepen
dent Sovereign Powers, Peoples, or Nations.*
Her action was subject to the authority of
that law, and none other. * * * Under
the circumstances, and the facts of this
case, therefore, the legal as well as the
moral.right on the part of Georgia, accord
ing to the laws of nations and nature, to
declare herself no longer bound by the
compact, and to withdraw from the Union
under it, was perfect and complete. These
principles are too incontestibly established
to be questioned, much less denied, in the
forum of reason and justice.”
In his letter, Mr. Stephens says:
“It was not by virtue of the Constitution
that this right (of secession) was to be ex
ercised, but by virtue of that sovereignty
of the State by which the constitutional
compact was entered into.
“ These are the principles iu which I was
educated. From the time, that f entered
public life, and ever before, I held the.
same, as the records can abundantly es
tablish.”
We agree with Mr. Stephens, as, it seems
to us, almost every other candid man must,
that “ there was no balance of power es
tablished between the North and the South,
as sections, in the Constitution.” Our sec
tional complaints on that score were un
founded.
Mr. Stephens shows that the Review was
as unfortunate in its reference to Thucydi
des as in its criticisms upon his own con
sistency. He is fortified on every side.
Raving been censured for reproducing
the Declaration of Independence in his
book, he gives excellent reasons for having
done so. Among them, that the title, as It
appears in Elliott’ Debates, is as follows:
“In Congress, July 4tb, 1776. The Unan
imous Declaration of the Ihirteen United
States of America.”
It was no Declaration of National Inde-
pendence, says Mr. Stephens, “ or the inde
pendence of a nation, bat the independence
of separate States.”
Mr. Stephens shows that it was not Noali
Webster, as the reviewer supposed, but Mr.
Jefferson, that first suggested the idea of
establishing such a Federal Government as
was afterwards established.
In a word, as Mr. Hill, of Georgia, de
molished in turn, Greeley, Raymond and
Bennett, of the New York press, Mr. Ste
phens, keeping up the reputation of liis
State for skillful writers in the shape of
prominent statesmen, cuts all the ground
from under Professor Bledsoe, leaving him
not an iuch upon which to stand. We are
confident that every Southern man who
reads it will be pleased with his letter. It
shows that his book was written with the
utmost care and the most scrupulous regard
for truth, and removes every doubt as to
liis position upon the question of the rights
of the States.

It won’t do to say you ar • not able to insure, or
that the amount you .can now take is too small to do
any good. Would a man do right to refuse bread to
his family io-day because he can’t get it for them
to-morrow too? Then, is it more just or wise tore
fuse to secure SIOO in a life policy to day because you
cannot now get SI,OOO or SIO,OOO, policy ? No, it is
your duty to take what you can now, and increase the
policy when able.
It won’t do to say you need all j our money to keep
your family in necessaries, because nothing is so ne
cessary while you are living to support them, as to se
cure litem a support after you die. A life policy is the
only thing which will do that
It has bei-n truly said, “ procrastination is thq thief
of time,” hut when by our own acts we force it to In*
the “ thief” also of our family’s comfort, how sad

commanded for it an influence and circulation c-qual
to any paper in the State.
As farming is, and must continue to he, the. great

Pacific (luaiio Company's Soluble
PACIFIC GUANO.
Capital, One million Dollars.
T HIS GUANO ditfers from Peruvian Guano
simply in the relative proportions of tl e same element
of fertility.
Its use during the past four years, for the culture of
Cotton and Corn, has given to it a character for stand
ard excellence unsurpassed by Peruvian Guano, and
when seasons of drought intervene itpioduces a larger
increase of crops. The price at which this Guano is
placed is so much below that of Peruvian Guano as
to constitute it an object of inaiciial importance to
Southern agriculture.
Tlie Company lcoks to “ large sales,” small “ prof
its ” and a permanent trade for compensation on capi
tal invested.
The large capital and resources of the Company en
ables it to furaißh a Guano of the highest value, at
the lowest possible cost to consumers, and the highest
interest of the Company is recognized jn this policy.
Dr. St. Julian Ravbnel, of Charleston, B. 0 , is
Scientific Director to the Company, which affords a

Guano.
