non. A. II. STEPHENS on THE STUMP FOR MR.. DOUGLAS.
AUGUSTA, Sept. l.-An immense audience of
ladies and gentlemen assembled at the City Hall
Park to-day to hear Hon. Mr.. Stephens. He said
he appeared before the people reluctantly but
could not refuse the invitation of his old cons tiu
ents. The signs Of the times, he says, portend evil
ana everything seems to be tending to national
disruption and general anarchy. Whether this
tendency shall be arrested depends on lhe virtue
intelligence and patriotism of the people of ali
parts OF the country in the present great crisis OF
our history.
lie declared that he was in favor of Messrs DouG-
las and johnson, the regular nominees of the Dem-
ocratic party. He said that whether Mr., DouoIas
received tW0thirdS of the electoral vote or not ac-
cordn& to the usages of the party he received two
adopted upon the P"mantaryo d RUE was
such as provided by the Constitution to pass a law
over the veto ofthe President by twohrds of those
present voting for it. Anv other construction of
the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions was an
Interpolation and wrong. And whether Mr.. Doug
las got 2l2 votes, as asserted sde or l5l as
aiegea on the other, he received more than two
thirds alter the seceders left
He said he supported the Douglas ticket because
it placed on the ime-honored platform of non.
intervention-thc only principles which can pre-
serve the Union. The objections urged against
! Mr.. Douglas by the secederS were that Mr.. Doug
las refused to say it the duty of Congress to do
! what they would not do themselves. Mr. Douglas
refused to say it the duty of Congress to pass
laws to protect slavery in the territories; hence
/
! themselves.
MIR Stephens defended Mr.. Douglas against the
charge that he would not yield to the decision of
! the Supreme Court. He said Mr.. Douglas agreed
with every principle decided by the Dred Scott
case, but insisted that the point, how far terri
tOral Legislature might cOnstitutonally regulate
slavery, had not been decided. No case involving
the principle had been before the Court; Mr..
! Douglas position being the perfect equality be
tween the citizens of all the States with the rights
of persons and property. He said that Mr.. Doug
las believed territorial Legislature might, by a
system of laws, virtually exclude slavery.
He (Mr. Stephens) differed from Mr.. Douglas in
this point, but he said it a matter of vital OF
essential Importance, because if majority of the
people of territory opposed slavery it would not

from it. He ebelieved that slavery will 90 to the
tent Of its capacity to expand. Beyond this, no law
of Congress or territorial Legislatures can ex
tend it.
lie dwelt upon the advantages of the Union anC
the Importance of preserving it, 1t was the best
government in the world ever established, and ii il
falls we shall never see the like again.
lie concluded by calling the patriots of all
sections to unite to save it. lie said the Union had
enemies at the North and at the South but he was

The REVIVAL OF THE DEAD.-The New York Lead

at is to be remarked that of the four doctor
named by as having been engaged in the resu,
citation, only one has denied the fact, and in hi
case we confess we were wrong Taking down on
evidence hastily and exctedly from the Inns of tw,
intormants, we may have mistaken the name of u,

But Drs. Crane, OReilly and Bull have all acknow

cal triumph And even in Carnochan's case-suI
posing he ever did deny it, which we doubt-it
to be remembered that he was not under oath, an
