urge that the change they propose involves the
advantages of economy aud increased strength

ABSTRACT OF THE SPEECH OF HON.
A. II. STEPHENS.

The Columbus (Gl) "Times" publishes
the following abstract Of speech delivered
by Vice President Stephens in the hall Of the
House of Representatives,, at MilieigeTille,
on Wednesday evening, March 10th, 1854:
Mr.. Stepheos began mis- epccch at tho hour
of P. NJ. and closed ut 1920. The Hal;
was crowded with members Of the Lcsisa-
ture and citizens generally. there being among
the latter many ladies. All seemed anxions
to yet another sight Of soe whom the people
Of Georgia had often hOnored, and to whom
thew had often looked for counsel in times oi
peril. He had entered ut an early hour, IN
company with his Excel .ncy, the Governor
of Georgia, ond had not been observed uutl
he ascended the Speaker stand. Then there
was burst of hearty applaus, that seemed
to como from all present, tes;ifying how truly,
and with what regard, he was cal ID upon TO
speak.
He began By saying that his obicot was to
sneak on the state Of public affairs at this
present crisis. The time had passed VIXEN the
measures which brought on the war should
he discussed; the great question to he deter
mined BY legislators was the proper nus"
baud ng and management of all the resources
of the country The country was environ"d
by dungcrs and perils within and wita'u !;
bus though tho times were perilous, nc did
not regard the cause as h"pel'ss. II truo to
ourselves and to our cause, We must ultimate
ly succeed.
The enemy had not as yet inflicted an
| yit.l blow on our interests, though they gained
soue important advantages, the chief of which
was their SUCCESS from their gunb1ats. W"
could not resist thor attacks successfully from
thi- source any more than ii"n cunld sue
| crssiully attack a shark. II asked whether
| we should ultimately triunut, his reply
| would be yes, thousand times yes, Ii VIC
properly managed the resources OF the coun
| try.
On the currency question he did not intend
to speak further than to cay that he regarded
it as an unwise measure, though 1t might
have been tho b.s: that could have teen adopt
ed with the conflicting opinions on the sub
jeet.
% the Military Act-tbe second Conscrip-
,ion Act as he termed it-he was more severe
IIe thought it put too largo portion Of ,ht
6obtine men in the fed. Only one,third o.
the fighting men of country, it had been dc
monstrated by history, could be safely put II
the field. Whenever this proportion was ex
ceeded there was danger 10 tho country II

sistence OF the army. lie feared that sum
