Hon. mr.. stephens, of Georgia.

We are sorry to see the following absurdity, re-
ported In the Georgia papers to be from the mouth
Of Mr. Stephens, In aspeech denouncing the Know
Nothings:
" Know nottingham was Abolitionism in dis
guiae. He stood upon the Georgia platform
nert Congress, he Was for resistance there, and
failing, he womid come home and toll the people to
resist IL"
Better not 60, then; for he will be sure to have
to come home and advise resistance, inasmuch as
not a doubt can exist that Kansas will be reject
ed" If offered to the next Congress.
This fighting State into the Union is novelty
in politics, we think. But says the same Georgia
paper:
"Mr. Toombs followed him, in all respects en-
dorsing the positions of Mr.. Stephens, and the
crowd then dispersed, with renewed zeal, to fight
against the insidous workings of the midnight
Order"
The next Congress, then, will be in hopeful
way--between Messrs. Stephens and Toombs fight
Ing Kansas into the Union and Messrs Seward and
Weed fighting Kansas out of the Union.
Kansas--in due time-we presume, will be treat
ed-as all other Territories have been treated. The
North will take time, and SELF Kansas is in Mis-
souri, or Missouri is in Kansas-and the South will
have to wait till the time Is taken. We doubt
whether such intelligent men as Messrs. Stephens
and Toombs ever uttered such languages is i'm
puted to them-but il they did, and mean it, they
may a. well begin to get their resistance" ready
beforehand.
Amid all these threats of 9. disunion," " resist
mce," &C., that we hear from the North and South,
1t seems 70 be forgotten, that there is Great West
big enough and stout enough to eat both Of us up,
without which we starve--and which is linked into
and bound up with the Union-because it cannot
get out but through the Union. It hugs us to her
by mountain and river chains, wroughtby Almighty
Hands-that mo resistance of man can rend
asunder. II is well for us, when we are little
eloquent or rampant to think Of this.

DEATH OF Mr. JOHN A. DEBLoIs--This estima-
BILE citizen died in this city at l2 P. NJ. on We'd
nesday, 30th ult after an illness Of only three
days. This sudden death Of one Of our leading

found sorrow. In all the relations of life, Mr..
John A. DeBlois was model man, and was Justly
regarded as one Of the pillars of the Episcopal
church. He was native Of Boston, but has re-
sided in this city since 1887, and been actively
engaged in the commission business as member

MORO DEnocRAcr.-The dishonesty of the vir-
gnia socalled Democracy" aud its insincerity |
In It's outcry about slavery are well Illustrated |
daily. The Richmond Enquirer, for example, Of
tie 4th instant, which makes such q noise about
Know.Nothing Northern Free-soilers, Is copying,
with appreciation, the Joy Of New York Free-solers,
In Tammany Hall, over the results Of the Virginia
election. Nearly column Is occupied with the
speech Of distinguished Northern Free-soiler,
who, we presume, has changed no one of his opin-
ions against slavery or slave Institutions, and who,
IL in position, would act against them energcti-
cally Is ever.
Thus the Virginia negro" whose old business
Il was to raise only corn, and cotton, and tobacco
and sprouts, IL now used to raise the Democracy
of Virginia" There Is no sincerity in any Of the
Southern outcry about slavery" but the merest
clap-trap TO get and keep ofice.-N Y. Express.
