Hon. A. RI. stephens Of Ga.

This distinguished Southern statesman
spent several days at Chicago last week,
and, although his errand was enc purely Of
business, he did not hesitate, in social cir
cles, to express himself freely in regard to
the present animated political contest in II.
linois. Understanding at glance that the
contest lay between Douglas, as the leader
oi the Democracy, on one side, and Lincoln
and Republicanism on the other, as an hon
est Democrat he expressed without hesta-
ton his condemnation Of the course of the
"Nationals," and his earnest hope that Doug
Las would triumph The editor of the Joliet
Signal, who met Mr.. S. at Chicago, speaks
of him as follows:
--HoN A. ii. STEvENs.--We had the plea
sure the other day of meeting this distin-
tinguished statesman.
No man in the Union possesses a higher
reputation as an able statesman and saga
cious politician than Mr.. Stevens. His
speeches and reports in Congress for clear
ness and ability, are regarded as second to
no efforts Of the kind ever made in our ma
tonal councils. His soundness on all con-
stitutona! questions, have rendered him a
favorite with national men both in the North
as well as in the South. Excepting Gov.
Wise of Virginia, perhaps no man in the
Union did more to break down the spirit of
Know Nothingism which at one time threat
ened to overspread our entire country. His
mighty efforts as the leader of the Admins
tration force in the House in the late Lc-
compton struggle is fresh in the memory of
our readers.
In regard to the difficulties of our party
in this State the distinguished Georgian oc-
cupes what VIC consider the only true
ground. He advises union of the party
and a support of regular nominations. Like
Senator Green of Missouri, he prefers the
election of Judge Douglas as U. S. Senator
from this state TO that Of Black Rerubli-
can. Indeed, he declares that he has full
confidence that on questions likely to come
before Congress hereafter, Mr.. Douglas will
be found true to the constitution and true
to the great national principles of the party.
We observe the State Democrat, at Spring
field, "National" concern, axes umbra.e at
Mr.. S. and is reading him out of the dem
ocratic party. 1t will be reading out the
President nexs.

JUDGE DouG1As-SEHAToR GREEN or Mo-
1t was stated in number Of papers lately
that Senator Green, of Mo-, had publicly ex-
pressed. in st. Louis his anxiety for the tri-
umph Of Judge Douglas, in the present con-
test in Illinois; but the report was contra
dicted by some of the organs of the " Ma
tionals" The matter coming to Senator
Green's notice, he has thought it of suffici ent
importance to address letter to the St. Lou
is Republican, setting himself right in the
mater In that letter Senator G. does not
hesitate to express his confidence in the de-
mocracy of Judge D., and his preference for
his election over any republican that can be
named.
The ST. Louis Republican, in publishing
the letter, also speaks in strong terms Of
confidence in the democracy of Judge d.,
and thinks every apology or excuse on the
part of any democrat for opposing him wo'd
be removed by his answering promptly the
following questions:
/. If elected Senator by the members of
the Legislature to be chosen next November,
will he thereafter continue to act with the
Democratic party? and, 2. Will he abide
by, and support the nominees Of the Demo-
| cratic party to be made at Charleston, in
1867. for President and Vice President of
the United States?
The questions We presume are not 80 ia
tended, but they are insulting. Is not the
great battle in which Judge D. is now en-
gagged against the enemies of the democra-
cy and which he is conducting with skill
and energy that is exciting the admiration
, aud astonshment of the whole country, a
, sufficient guaranty that it is his purpose to
continue to act with the democracy ~
And are not his repeated emphatic declare
tons that he abiGss by the nominations Of
the party-is not the very position itself he
now occupies, a pledge stronger than any
declaration he could make, that he viii sup
port the nominee Of his party for the Presi.
dency in 1860? We are astonished that the
Republican Should express such doubt on
this subject as these questions imply.

"ARFARE on THE ADMINISTRATIONS - h ?
Washington Union, speaking OF the action
OF the late Ohio democratic state conven
ton, and CONCENTRATING the democracy OF
the county on the general good feeling and
harmony that prevails in the democratic
ranks, has the hardihood to say:
single dark sTo. rests upon he horizon
The factious course OF Judge Douglas. in
persisting in his warfare-not only upon
the administration, out upon the great body
Of the democratic party Of the uHlon-alone
breaks the universal harmony that would
otherwise pervade the party.
The following extract which we take from
Judge DOUGLAS speech at Beardstown a
week ago illustrates both ho1o he persists
in his warfare upon the administration"
and the malignancy OF the Union in making
the above statement.
A great many friends come to me and
ask me, Are you willing TO acquiesce in
that English biIl?' / always tod them
would acauiesc- in the decision Of the peo-
pie under it. They have rejected it, and
now want to know if they will acQuiesce in
in its death | am certain that | will.
"By the death of Lecompton, there is
termination forever of the Lecomp,on con-
troversy. 1t is at an end, And there will be
nc excuse for that controver y to arise again
unless it is brought up in an improper and
miscellaneous manner, for mschevous and
improper purposes.
- say the controversy can never arise
again, for this reason. The President of
the United States, in his Annual Message,
declared that he regretted that the Lecomp-
ton Constitution had not been submitted to
the people Of Kansas. joined him in that
regret. Thus far we agreed. He then de-
clared that it was a sound policy to require
the submission Of every constitution to the
people. agreed with him on that. He
then declared, in his opinion, that hereafter
the example set in the Minnesota case, where
Congress required such submission, sho'd
be forever followed as a rule of action.
agreed with him on that. Then what did
we differ about? He added, that while it
was sound principle that constitution
should be submitted to the people, and that
he hoped hereafter Congress would always
require that to be done, yet, there were
such circumstances with regard to Kansas,
that rendered it expedient to admit her at
once. / differed with him as to that. That
point is now decided. The people of Kan
sas have decided it forever. l trust that he
is satisfied with that decision as well as |.
THAT being the case, why should not he
and 20 together in the future, each stand
ing firmly by his Minnesota recommends
,ien, that hereafter 9 constitution shall be
required by Congress to be submitted to the
people in all cases? If We only do that
stand By that principle in the future-then
the Lecompton controversy can never again
arise, the friends Of sslf-government will all
be united. Let US then rally upon CON-
mon plank and platform upon which all ma
tional men may stand, and upon which all
tho friends Of popular sovereignty may stand
shoulder to shoulder"

las democracy" The ground of his sup.
port Of Douglas, at this time, is something
very different from this, and is his own. 1t
may be thus stated. Judge D. subscribing
to the Philadelphia Republican platform, is
opposed to the extension of slavery into the
territories He believes the doctrine of pop.
ular sovereignty as advocated by Senator
Douglas, would have prevented its extension
into Kansas, and SO far as that territory is
concerned, is therefore content with the doc
trine. While the democracy profsssed this
doctrine, however, he did not believe they
were sincere. Senator Douglas, however,
last winter proved by bis course that, wheth-
er his party was sincere or not, he was, and
dared to set all the power, patronage and in
f1uence of the administration at defiance and
vindicate his sincerity and maintain the
right. For this act, which was applauded
at the time by his constituents of all parties,
he believes Senator D. ought, above and bs.
