From the Southern Confcderacy.1
We learn from a highly lcspcctabl,
gentleman, who arrived in this city on tn,
evening train, direct from Montgomery
that Hon Stephen A. Douglas, on his AZ.
rival IN Montgomery. was met with 4
shower Of rotten eggs. Think Of it, pat.
riots Of the SOUTH A distinguished
American citizen. a law-abiling man. +
patriot, statesman, gentleman holding
high position in the councilsof the nation
and one who is to-day tho candidate of a
great party for the highest Office in the
gift OF n free people. to bc offered til,
greatest conceivable indignity. Aud il
what place was it TINT Mr.. Douglas re
ccivcd such treatment? At MONTGOMERY
the home of WIN. l.. Yancoy, tho gen
tlcman who has been mainly instrument
al in bringing this government to tho yer,
verge of destruction.
And because the patriot and slanlcreC
DougIa chooses to meet the summons o
hs fellow citizens in Montgomery, he j.
Frectci on his reception in that city b,
rotten egds, and the yclls and misses Of de
nous and fanatics.
Mr. lancey has recently canvasscd tn,
Middle Northern and Northwestern State
III the dissemination OF his iactious an,
disorGnnl2ing dogmas, but in every in
stance he has been met aud treated like ;
gentleman. But when distinguishes
opponent, n friend of the Constitution
and the Union, visits the home Of Mr.
lUucey, he Is met with rotten elgs and
other inlignircs.
Alter the passage of tho Kansas Ne.
ba,ka bill in 1851, Mr. Douglas wa.
burnt III cIllgy and peltci with rotten eqga
by abolition fanatics, for his defence OF
Southern rights, but it never occurred to
rs that tho same Douglas would receive
such treat ment at the hands of a South.
crn people. Has Mr. Douglas done any.
thInS to merit such treatment? Think OF
II, men ol Georgla. those who heard him
at Kingston, Atlanta. Macon and, Co.

WIZ the conservative masses at the south
OF Georgia, endorse such conduct as tha,
shown MIR, Douglas by the Brcckcnlily,
