BUSDAT MORNING. JULY 3. 1870
“ACCEPTING THE SITUATION.”
A great deal Is said just now on the sub
ject of “ accepting the situation.” In an
other place we give large extracts from a
powerful'article upon It-by C. C. Burr,
Esq., recently the editor of the Old Guard,
and now one of the most sterling contribu
tors to that staunch and incorruptible
Democratic magazine. We specially com
mend these extracts to our readers. It is
needless to say that we heartily approve
them both in word and spirit. Indeed, we
approve, In the main, of the whole article in
the Old Guard from which they are taken.
It is most opportune as well as wise.
What we desire our readers to under
stand is that “ accepting the situation" so far
as conforming or subscribing to the authori
ties that be, so long as they are clothed with
power to enforce their usurpations, does not,
by any means, imply an acceptance of these
usurpations as “ verities ” and fixed facts,"
not to be combated and warred against until
the great malefactors who imposed them
upon the country, by trampling under foot
the Constitution of the United States, shall
be pushed from their high places and
brought to just condemnation by an out
raged people. •
The people of ten Sputhero States have
yielded to superior force. aban
doned the field of physical strife. They offer
no violent resistance to those who are ex
ercising their tyrannical though brief au
thority, as we sincerely tru3t. But in doing
this they should never degrade themselves
by accepting or acknowledging these usur
pations as either right, just or “ fl*ed facts”
In our Constitution. An uncompromising
war against them as unconstitutional , null
and void, before the people in all coming
elections, is, in our opinion, the only hope
for this country, North as well as South.
Under this battle cry, the defliers of the
temple of our liberties must be driven out
by the people at the polls. , •
We agree thoroughly with the Old Guard
in this: that whenever a politician begins
to talk about “ accepting the situation”—
that is accepting the usurpations of Con
gress as “ fixed facts” not to be denounced,
-warred against and overthrown —that must
be the end of him for aU party purposes. The
Democracy want, and must have, leaders
who will never regard these falsities as
« verities,” and who will never consider as
dead issue’ vital Constitutional princi
ples. If any who now stand in the position
of leaders of that party are inclined to ad
vocate or advise such course of acceptance
on the part of their constituents, they may
as well retire before they are compelled to
do so ; for the men of nerve and principle
of that party do not intend to allow the
great political contests in this country to
be fought on any such programme. A word
to the wise is sufficient.
| From the Columbus fun.
The Confederate Presidency.
Columbus, Ga., Jane 25,1870.
Mebskß. Editors; I see a communica
tion this morning in your paper from Hon.
A. M Clayton, of Mississippi, in reference
to the election of the President of the Con
federate States, in which the following
paragraph occurs;
“ After a few days of anxious and iu
tense labor, the provisional constitution
was framed and it became necessary to
iv -riwu.t w py cutting some one at the
head of the Government. Then Mr. Craw
ford, of Georgia, approached me and said
that it had been the wish of that State to
make Mr. Stephens President, but he
(Crawford) had become satisfied that it was
the wish of all the other States that Mr.
Davis should be assigned to that position.
He then asked me if Mr. Stephens would be
acceptable to the Mississippi delegation as
Vice-President. I replied that. I believed
he would be their choice. Without any
effort on the part of the friends of either
the election was made without the slight
est dissent. Os the accidental complications
referred to. I have not the least knowl
edge, and always thought that the election
of"]Vlr- Davis arose from spontaneous con
viction oi his peculiar fitness. I have con
sulted no one on the subject, and have ap
pended my name only to avoid resting an
important fact upon anonymous authority.
“ Very respectfully, yours,
\ “ Ai.ex. M. Clayton.”
The mistake into which Mr. Clayton falls
is that I should have said to him that Geor
gia had desired Mr. Stephens as President.
On the contrary, Georgia desired Mr.
Toombs, and the delegation in conference
upon the subject on the morning of the
electtop had so declared, and if upon in
quiry South Carolina or Florida had not
determined to cast their votes for Mr, Davis,
then Mr. Toombs' name was to be brought
forward. To ascertain how this matter
stood was made my duty by the delegation,
and with positive instructions from Mr.
Toombs that his name was not to be pre
sented if those States had declared for Mr.
Davis in their separate meetiugs. This
they had done, and that made it necessary
to act upon the subject matter ot the Vice-
Presidency as agreed upon in our meeting
of the Georgia delegates, which was, that
in the event Mr. Toombs’ name was not
presented for the first place, Mr. Stephens
should be for the second, and 1 had been
also requested to see whether that would
be acceptable to the other States, heuce my
interview with Mr. Clayton. I intended to
say to him, and had always supposed that
he so understood me, that our State intend
ed to present a.name for the Presidency,
but the action already taken by some of the
States would prevent that, and I had called
to see him for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not Mr. Stephens would be an
acceptable man to his delegation for Vice-
President.
Mr. Stephens never entertained an idea
of the Presidency, and indeed thought that,
it would not be proper for him to have it.
This I know, because whilst the subject
was being considered, some members of
the Congress mentioned the matter to him,
and he very promptly said that bis name,
could not be used in that way. After these
gentlemen left our lodgings he said to me,
in his usual frank manner, that he had not
been a leader in the movement which was
about to result in the establishment of a
new governmvnt, and that “to make him
President would be like taking a child out
of the hands of its mother and giving it to
a steo-mother to raise.” “But,’ continued
he, “ some one who has been identified
with the cause should be chosen, and who
soever he mav be, he shall have the benefit
of whatsoever experience and .ability I can
& ifss?
fear that our people are not prepared for
the great responsibilities which are ahead
of them. But Georgia, whose sovereign
will I am bound to obey, has taken her
course, and that assigns me to my posi
tion and in that 1 will discharge to her
my duty honestly and faithfully, and if at
last we shall lose all, I do not care to sur
vive the liberties of mycountry.”
I give fn substance, If not in words, the
language of this great and good man in the
hours of our repose from the great duties
then devolving upon us, and which neither
he nor b&ter expected tfcbfe* brought before
the public eye.
SA dark day, about the 20th of February,
52, came over us, and there was an inter
view and a solemn parting between Mr.
Stephens and myself which I have never
pat upon paper, but which I do not intend
to leave unknown to the world, which
shows that he, is as patriots and true tp
his country as 1 w&re Jne bravefet aiuLhest
at the Spartans to theirs.
Touching the Presidency of tije Confede
rate States,! hawthbi to say. That fhr
gay re than ten years I had looked for the
separation of the States, and the discon
nection of the Southern from the Northern
States of the American Union. 1 had acted
for seven sessions of the Congress of the
United States with the extreme wing of
the States’ Rights men, %pd am free to
say that at Washington* during that
time, Mr. Davis was looted upon as the
representatiW man, least the
man more identified with onr view of
States’ Rights and Southern Rights than
any other, and therefore was looked to as
the man who should he chosen the first
President ofcthe Confederate States, or
our new under whatever name
it might be ofl|Bized. But the Provision
al Congress was composed, to a large ex-
tent, of gentlemen wbo wereuot in the old
Congress, yet many of whom had been
there,, and all of whom were men of expe
rience, education, public service and sub
stance. Our first duty wp to frame a con
stitution. Mr. Toombs, Itfio had been for
nearly twenty years in the American Con
gress, and for ten of them in the Senate
in the prime of his manhood and in the full
ness of his intellectual vigor—-.was a mem
ber of the body. He had never looked to
the Presidency of the new Republic, either
at Washington or Montgomery, bat in
framing the constitution and the organiza
tion of the Confederate Government, he
showed himself to be one so wonderfully
endowed with the very knowledge at that
time mostly needed, that a manifestation in
his favor was made by the delegates from
several States to put him at the head of the
Government. He, by persons unacquainted
with him, is looked upon and considered as
rash and impetuous. In conversation,
this is so, but when anything is to be dene,
it is not so. Notwithstanding all he may
say in the highway, he is the wisest and
safest man m counsel whojn it has been my
fortune to meet.
It was this wisdom, knowledge and dis
cretion which directed attention to him at
that time for the Presidency, and with the
vote of .South Carolina of Florida, as I un
derstood, he would havcljeCn unanimously
chosen President, for it was well agreed
and understood that there should be but.
one name presented for each place, and
whosoever could command four States out
of the six would receive the whole. I think
that Mr. Davis was elected because he had
been.long identified with the theories which
were then triumphant, because Os his sup
posed influence with the officers of the old
army, as well as the fact that Messrs!
Toombs, Cobb and Stephens were all from
the same State, and the political waters
were too shallow for them to torn in with
out injury to each other.
Very respectfully,
Martin J. Crawford.
[From the Old Guard for July.
Accepting the Situation.
One of the most eminent political writers
of England of the last, century says: “No
man can be too desirous of the glory of his
country, nor too revengeful against those
who abuseand betray it.” It is not a little
inspiring to the heart and brain of one, in
these collapsed sort of times, to read a
brave, old fashioned sentiment like this.—
The drift of political writing at this mo
ment is altogether another way. For a
man to be angry now at' the ruin of his
country is to draw upon his head the cen
sure of a thousand human asses, who, hav
ing made up their miuds to “ accept the
situation,” can see only “ imprudence” and
“ impracticability ” in the more brave and
patriotic man, who does not propose to
“ accept ” any “ situation ” which involves
the s lbss of liberty and the destruction of
his country! Looking out, through the
windows of the present time, we find many
great and glorious examples, which appeal
to us \gth the power and authority of bat
tles, ana triumphantly vindicate the man
hood and the sagacity of those who have
refused to accede to the demands of despot- ■
istn in every age. Aristotle was a member
of the Cabinet of Alexander the Great,
when he wrote his work on government,
entitled Politics , which was in opposition to
every principle of the ambition and tyran
ny <rf Alexander. No doubt the general
run of the politicians of those times were
quite shocked at the hardihood of Aris
totle—they denounce him as an “impractica
ble,” “ extreme,” aucl “ imprudent ” sort of
man, who refused to “ accept the situation,”
or to bend to the lessons of “ manifest des
tiny.” But behold now what a different
fate time has measured ont to all these
I While the thousands of timid or
venal fools who cried out at the imprudence
of Aristotle have passed away into a voice
less obliviou, and while even the glory of
Alexander has grown dim, the book of
Aristotle survives, as an oracie of political
truth and- wisdom for all generations ot
mankind. The work of the “extremist,"
who could not be silenced by the hope of
office, nor the threats of power, lives in
perennial glory, while all who denounced
it have gone into nothing but dust and
oblivion. Their ignorance, their venality,
and their cowardice have, thank God,
perished with their own bones. The worms
which fattened on their decaying carcasses
are now of just, as much importance to the
world as the orice rich and swollen “ con
servatives,” whose total virtue and wis
dom consisted in “ accepting the situation,”
and eating the dirt of power like so many
hungry dogs. This bit of history must be
takeu as a lesson to those pitiable cowards
in our midst, who are reduced to that last
extremity of degradation which can see no
sagacity in anything but “accepting the
situation” of admitted force, fraud, and
usurpation. Alas, alas, what wretches!
There i* another example of a great and
honest writer, Titus who in the time
of the Emperor Augustus wrote to dis
countenance the silly doctrine of “ accept
ing the situation,” which called for sub
mission to wrong and oppression.
The same did Sir Thomas More in the
time of Henry the Eighth, The works of
Machiavelli were written in opposition to
the “ situation” of Italy when it was ruled
by princes who oppressed the people. The
same may be said of the greater part of the
' poetical writings of Petrarch and Dante.
These works, notwithstanding they were
denounced by all the fools of their day,
have been growing in respect and ad
miration of mankind ever since. And all
this time they have been the fountains from
which honest men and patriots have imbib
ed lessons of liberty and truth. The world
is as much better for having hud such men
in its generation, as it is worse from the
legion of knaves or fools whose highest
maxim has been to “ accept the situation,”
whether good or bad.
The writings of Haringtou, Sidney, and
De Foe —those ever-to-be-revered names—
which were such tremendous protests
against the political “ situation” in Eng
land in their days, were bitterly assailed
by all the ignorant, or venal, or cowardlj'
raff" of politicians ; but they worked upon
the public opinion of England until the
“ situation was entirely changed, and this
once free republic of America was actually
bom out of the writings of these brave and
true men. \
Such are the great results which come
from refusing to accept the situation ou the
part of true and brave : men in every age.
All the liberty in the world was, from time
to time, born ©f tlje proud resistance to the
“situation.”. And all the usurpation, all
political crime, all the despotism in the
world came immemorially out of the ac
cursed accept-the-situat.ion policy. This
has been the fruitful old mother of akt
abominations. It was the last and only
friend that stood by George the Third
in his battle against our forefathers.—
AlMhose detested loyalists of our Re
volution, who hat; last to flee as
enemies of their country, Were only
for “ accepting the situation” when
despotism ruled over this land. Those
who are now for “ accepting the situation ”
ought to get together in grand convoca
tions, to celebrate the memory of their great
errand fathers, the traitors of our revolution.
*******
Wherever the “ situation ” is that of
usurpation, of oppression, and of wrong, it
is precisely-the
piness of every brave and true man to re
sist it, and if need be to punish the usurper
and the despot. This proposition will be
disputed no man of sense. Rut we
are told * * that the present situation
of our country is one that has been
brought about by force, fraud, and by ille
gal violence in the control of the elec
tions iu many Os lie jjSjutes, and yet, aston
ishing fatuity, many of them tell us that
this horrid situation must be accepted; as
“ au accomplished fact.”
■ * *****
“ But the work has beep done and can
not be helped,” says the submissionist. We
Veply that no work of despotism was ever
yep so firmly .done that time? pluck ind
patriotism might not undo it. Despotism
never grows into law by being fixed upon a
people by force. If it is lawful to resist
and kill a robber before he has taken away
your money, is it not equally so after-
S Does .the time ever arrive when a
a people. «*n be lawfully obliged
t the situation of being plundered
y Or liberty,? -Never. The right
to resist a situation imposed by force and
fraud is inalienable and indestructible. It
outlasts the separate life of all generations
of men. It is a most absurd and wicked
position to say that the people of any
State can say they are in such a “situation”
as not to have a right to defend and pre
serve their liberties, and much more,
that they must not oppose tyrants and
usurpers because they have entrenched
thetnselves in superior poorer. If a “situa-
tion ” imposed by usurpation and force can
be respected as law, then every robber and
murderer, who has force enough, may make
himself the lawftal ruler of any people. If
Rob Roy had eowmered Scotland with hhs
highland. robbers," would he have been a
lawful ruler of that country ? Would Mas
aniello or Jack Straw, had they succeeded,
been lAwfhl rulers? Just as much, cer
tainly, as the illegal rule of Congress is law,
and no more. It is a duty which every
man owes to himself and to society not to
“accept the situation” which is in viola
tion of liberty and right. Says Seneca:
“ Vitam tibi ipsi si negas , mxdtis neaps" —if
we suffer tamely a lawless attacMßon our
property and rights, we encourage it and
.involve others in our doom.
It was a maxim of Cicero that “He who
does not resist mischief or oppression when
he may, is guilty of the same crime as if
he deserted his parents, his friends and his
country.”
Once the Decemviri of Rome overthrew
the liberties of the people, by acts less
offensive to reason and decency than the
“ situation ” which Congress has fixed
upon our country; but the Roman people,
instead of “ accepting the situation,” threw
it off. and passed a most terrible retalia
tory law against the Decemviri , which is
described by Livy in these words: “The
former consular .law for appealing tq the
people (the first and only great support of
liberty) having been overturned by the
usurpation of the Decemviri, was now not
only restored, but fortified by anew law,
which forbid the creating of any magis
trate without appeal, aud made it lawful
to kill any man that did so.”
This is the way that every brave and vir
tuous people treated the “ situation ” which
has grown out of usurpation and force.
And, in the light of it, how mnst we view
those Democratic politicians who properly
denounce the acts of Congress.'as usurpa
tion, fraud, force and opDres
sion, and then turn round ano-tell the peo
ple to “ accept the situation ?” How can
any man of honor and patriotism propose
to accept such a situation ?
But it will be said, the States are power
less to resist the wrong. They can be
powerless only from the cowardice or vil
lainy of the people. To say that these
States are powerless, is to proclaim at once
the corruption and dishonor of the people;
or, to say the least, of their leaders. And
again : the politician who thinks the States
are powerless betrays an ignorance of the
system of government established by our
fathers.
* * * * * * *
It ought not to take any of our Demo
cratic Governors loDg to comprehend the
great and saving fact that no State cau be
helpless except in the weakness of its own
virtues, or in the cowardice of its own offi
cers.
Said John Marshall, afterwards the emi
nent Chief Justice, replying to those who
dreaded that the Federal Government
might some day usurp (lowers not dele
gated to it by the States: “ The Federal
Government is not supported by force, but
dependiug on our own free will, (i. e , the
. free will of the States.) When experience
shall show ns any inconvenience, then we
can correct it.”
Such was the universal sentiment of the
great statesmen who formed this Govern
ment. Did they understand the nature ot
the Constitution which they framed? If
they did, it mnst be evident that those pol
iticians of the present day, who talk of the
helplessness of the States, wholly misun
derstand the inalienable rights and powers
of the States.
The whole truth is, and we may as well
be plain about it, the Democratic party is
usiDg altogether too light timber for offi
cial ppsts in these times Whet we want.,
and must have, is more strength of brain
and w Capacity and pluck are divine
gifts for political leaders just now. We
must put forward a less number of boobies,
and more men of genuine statesmanship
aud courage. Whenever a politician be
gins to talk about “ accepting the situa
tion,” that must end him for all party pur
poses. There is no sap in him, unless we
prefer the other view, and say there is no
thing but sap in him. He won’t do tor these
times. The times are altogether sharp, an
gular, and full of fierce and aggressive
forces. What shall a dull fellow—a hesi
tating, timid, yielding, mush-and-milk kind
of man—do here? See how he slops
around, but does nothing. He is a bulrush.
Nothing but stout oaks can keep root in
this current. It is the bulrush, or other
sort of weed, which “ accepts the situa
tion,” and bends or breaks in the sweeping
tide. It is the oak only whicli holds up its
head, and stands erect in great freshets.
Such arc the men we must have, or none
at all; lor the reason that all others are no
men. We will go into uo more campaigns
with leaders who “ accept the situation,”
and turn the other cheek to be slapped by
the hand of despotism.”
Tax on Passengers.— The manner in
which it is proposed by Congress to reach
such cases as the requirement -by the State
of Maryland of the one-fifth of gross re
ceipts from passengers on the Washington
Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road is shown by the bill to punish the col
lection of illegal taxes on passengers, which
was introduced in the House on Monday,
and referred to the Judiciary Committee.
It provides as follows:
That it shall be unlawful for any officer
or agent of any railroad, steamship compa
ny, persons or firm, or for any corporation
created by authority of any State, to pay
to the government of said State or to any
agent or officer thereof, any sum of money
as a tax upon passengers or for or on ac
count of the transportation of passengers
into said State or out of it, or across its
territory, or to charge or collect such tax
as a part of the fare of such passenger or
otherwise, and that any agent or officer of
any corporation as aforesaid paying money
as aforesaid to any Stafe government, or to
any officer or agent thereof, for tlie pur
poses aforesaid, or making such charge or
collection as aforesaid, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon con
viction thereof, "shall be fined in any sum
not exceeding five thousand dollars nor
less than one thousand dollars.
Sec. 2. And be it fur the) enacted , That
any person pretending to act by or under
the authority of any State, who shall col
lect or receive from any person or persons,
or from any railrqad op other corporation,
any sum of money on behalf qf such State
as a tax, for or on account of passengers
coming into, going out of or through such
State, or for the transportation of passen
gers into, out of or through such State,
shall forfeit and pay to the United States
the sum of two thousand dollars, to be col
lected by action of debt.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That
the Circuit and District Courts of the
United States shall have jurisdiction for
the trial and punishment of all misdemean
ors and actions arising under the first and
second sections of this act, and the Su
preme Court shall have appellate jurisdic
tion in all cases arising under this act.

Athens, Ga., June 15,1870.
We, the undersigned, have witnessed the
operations of Mr. I. M. Kenney, for subduing
Coco or Nut Grass, and believe that bis plan
will enable the Farmer to cultivate land Infest
ed with this pest much more easily than by
any mode hitherto adopted, or that has come
within our, observation.
Mr. Kenney conscientiously believes all that
he says about it, but we are not yet satisfied
that he can exterminate the grass, becanse suf
ficient time has not been allowed us to prove
it; but we would recommend all parties to
immediately apply for the plan, believing that
it is worth more than the cost.
