Mr.. stephens Speech.

We Issue to-day half sheet of the Standard to
our subscribers, mainly for the purpose of laying
before our readers the mastery speech of the Hon
Alexander b. Stephens, Vice President of the Con.
federate States This is the greatest speech of the
age. 1t would Of itself, if Mr.. Stephens had never
spoken before, or should never speak again, place
him on 4he roll Of the first statesmen of this or
any other age.
These views Of Mr. Stephens are not new with
him. They are such as he has always held. In
his letter dated Richmond, Va, September 8, 1852,
addressed to Hon. j. II. Calhoun, civil Governor of
Atlanta, he advanced similar views on the subject
of hG6eas corpus and martial law. We regret that
We have not room to lay this letter in full before
our readers, but expect to do so at an early day.
We are proud to be able to say that the views of
Vice President Stephens, as embodied in these doc
uments, are such as we have uniformly maintained
IN this journal; and we may add they agree en-
oreiy with those advanced by our correspondent

We have never doubted but Leach would carry
the army vote, especially since attempt has been
made to injure him oy the charge of dislOyulty.-
The soldiers know Gen. Leach and their intelligence
is not to be insulted in such way without their
resenting it Gen. Leach's majorites at home will
be much larger than in the army-in fact we have
no kind of doubt but that he will carry every coun-
ty in the District with the exception of Anson, and
he will beat Christians vote in that-Progress
We have just learned that the vote in the 49th

MEETING TONIGHT.

The adjourned meeting of the citizens
of Storey county to consider and act upon
the condition Of the county affairs, will be
held this evening at the Court House.
The Committee of Fifteen will be ready
to report the plan npor which they shall
have decided. 1t behooves citizens Of
Gold Hill to be present, and see that no
action is had detrimental to their interests,
or at Least enter their protest against any
such action. We understand that the
plan which will be presented, will be
consolidation of the county under single
municipal government, which Will be
vested in nine Commissioners OF whom
Virginia and Gold Hill shall each send
three, and American City, Flowery and
Red Mountain each one. This seems to
give Gold Hill sufficient strength to de-
fend itself against imposition, our repre-
sentation IN the Board being equal with
that of Virginia, and the outside Com
miSsioners will not be likely TO consent to
any unwarrantable extravaganza. VI the
details of the plan, we know nothing. We
presume, however. that complete plan
for the government Of the consolidated
city and county hes been perfected. The
people of Gold Hill are disposed TO view
the Consolidation idea as one which
talks turkey" 10 Virginia all the time,
and we confess to having entertained that
view 10 very considerable extent our
selves. We are willing, however, to give
the committees plan fair consideration,
and if it really promises to benefit our
condition, prejudices should be discarded.
We hope there will be full representa-
ton of the taxpayers Of Gold Hill at the
meeting tonight, and that they will make
themselves heard in the matter. Two
bills have already been introduced in the
Legislature-oue for the creation of the
county of Union (WHICH divides
Storey county and makes a separate
county of Gold HID and the other for
the incorporation of the city of Gold Hill.
These are dernier propositions, depending
upon the ratification rejection of the
Consolidation plan. II this proves I'M
satisfactory, we shall be compelled TO fall
back upon one of The bills above men
toned. The matter is too important to
be allowed to go by default, and our tax
PAYERS should scrutinize it closely before

it is important that this survey should be
made.
