(Alabama,) AdUeytiser, place in your
columns. 1t will show your many readers
what party in the Southern secessionists
regard as their friends, and aids in their
pnholy work of destroying the Govern
ment of our fathers. The AdUeriiSer of
August Sd says W.
owe thank God from the depths of our
hearts that the authorities at Washington
snubbed Vice President Stephens in his
late attempt to confer with them on inter-
national affairs, without form or ceremony.
1t has long been known here that this
gentleman thought, if he could get to whis-
per in the cars Of some men about Wash
ington, the result might be terms Of peace
on some sort of union or rocOnstruction.-
! He seemed to forget that Douglas, with
whom he used to serve, is dead and not
withsianding his mantle has fallen, by di-
viding it into four pieces, upon Richard
son and Voorhees,, Valandgham and Pugh
still the Democratic party is not in power
now, and we may thank God for it. The
prospect looked gloomy to the Vice Prcsi-
dent, whose infrmity of body no doubt
cast shadow over his spirits, and he said
that one of two things must be done
either some terms must be made, or the
whole militia Of the confederacy must be
called out and an immediate alliance pro-
posed with foreign powers. President Da-
gave him full power to treat on honorable
terms, and started him off to The kingdom
of Abraham. But Father Abraham told
him there was an impossible gulf between
them, and the Vice President had 10 steam
back TO Richmond "a little top-fallen. We
hope this will put a stop forever to some
croakers about here who intimate that there
are people enough friendly 10 the south in
the North to restore the Union as it was.
And we also hope the government at Rich
mond will not humiliate itself any more,
but from this time will look only to the one
end tf final and subtantiul independence.
There is only one party in the North
, who want this Union restored but they have
, no more powcr-!egislative, executive OF
judical-than the paper we write on. 1t
is true, they make show of uEion and
strength, but they have no voice Of author
ity. We know tAat the Nallandigham
