The New Hapuhlic.

Alex. Fl. Stephens, Vice-President of the
Cotton Republic, has been making speech
| at Atlantis, Ga. His theme 10 the superiori-
| ~ OF the constitution OF the new JED. Davis
| Confederacy over that Of the United States.
Having sworn fidelity in turn to each OF
them, Mr.. Stephens ought to understand
| their points Of resemblance and difference,
and bis speeches are always to the pupose.
Hear him:
"A grand difference between the old and
new Constitution was this: in the old Oonsti-
tuition the fathers looked upon the falaoy Of
the equality Of races az underlying the
foundations of republican liberty. JefEer-
son, Madison, Washington, and many others
were teuder OF the word slave in the organic
Law, and oil looked forward to the time
when the institution of slavery would be re-
moved from our midst az . trouble and !
stumbling block. The deiusion could not be
traced in any Of the component parts of tho
Southern Constitution. In that instrument
We solemnly discarded the psstilent heresy
OF fancy politicians, that all men, OF ell
races, were equal, and We had made African
inequality and subordinaton, and the equal
ny OF white men, the chief corner .stone Of
the Southern Republic"
uAls WEAOIwOu ~ 80 WIG IOIUu0u0t 0A0Uuk suVU0
whom Mr.. Stephens 90 slightly terms ssfancy
poiiticians," but Gen. Washington, though
no Democrat, and oil the patriots Of our he
roo age, were tainted with bic heresios.-
They All, a. Ms. Stephens says, "-s-a soaae-
Of the word Slave," and "looked forward to
thu TINA when the institation- of Slavery
should be removed from our midst" and in
this spirit tho Federal Constitution Was
framed. Mr.. Stephens is not accurate in -
sorting that tho Fathers affirmed "the equal
ity Of races !" they no more affirmed this
than the uniformity Of colors or Of stature.
What they did affirm Was the equality Of hui
man rights, despite oil diversties Of color,
capacity, stature, culture, and ability. Tom
Thumb 10 mot equal 10 hight::to tho Belgian
Giant; deaf and dumb man ID not equal
in natural gifts to one who possesses oil hu-
man faculties; but their equal rights - hu-
man beings are not affected BY these differ
ences.
But what We wished our readers TO com-
prchend most clearly is that the JEFF. Davis
Confederacy il founded on directly antago-
mist principles to those OF Jefferson and the
iathers--its own Vice. Presidents being Judge.

Executive Variat1ons-A Fold
Stroke.

One of the notable events Of the times,
and to us the most interesting, is the I'M
doubted fact that President Buchanan has
SO far varied from his dear subjects Of the
cotton kingdom as to read them lesson in
yankee doodle, with at least one Of the va
riations. lie is said to have remrrked to
the South Carolina Commissioners that
the disunionists had already led him to the
very jaws of hell, and further he could not
go; that to pacificate them he had sur
rounded himself with secession traitors,
who had stolen the national revenue and
shipped the national property, especially
war ordnance, into the hands of the rebels
who how held possession, and that the
discovery was made that The Federal Cap
itol was to be seized and occupied by the
enemies of bis country; further, that for
months or even years these enemies to the
Constitution and Union had been engaged
in this treachery, only awaiting the time
for the final secession, when the public
prejudice could be heated to its extreme.
Whether the President used just such
remarks as are reported in the Boston
Democratic papers, we care not; the words
are true in every particular, as every result
shows. Let this lesson be striking one
that slavery knows no faith, no laws, no
union, no constitution, no man, no pledge
nor party-only 50 FIR as each Or any o.
these bows to it As to god-that god the
most tyranuical this side Of the internal re-
gions.
