 Dar Alexander H Stephens delyeredan ai dress before the Georgia Legislature @on the 22d ut. It is five columns long He urges patience. and says that with good government their desolated fields villages and cities will soon rise from their ruins One of our present duties is this :s We should accept the issue Of the war and abide by them in good faith. This T. am fully per>uaded, 1t is your purpose to do 4as well as that of your c"nstituantss Fl. thea alludes 10 the revocal ion of the secession ordi- nance. and says:a Whether Georgia by the action of her Convention of 1881, was ever rightfully out of the Union or not there can be no question that she is now in so far as depends upon her own wilt; and { deem the whole Un: ted States, therefore. as now without question our country. to be cherished and defended as such by all our hearts and by all our arms
 One of the resrlts of th- War is a toi al change in our whole internal policy ss Oursior- mer social fabric has been entirely subverted The relation heretofore under our old system between the African and European races. no longer exists. Slavery, as it was called, or the status of the black race, their snbordination to tue whites, upon which all our institutions rest. cd is abolished forever. not only in Georgia, but throughout the limits of the United States This change should be received and accepted as an lrrevocable fact s s
 He considers the future dark and gloomy and says his only hope is in the peaceful re-es- tablishment of good government and it's peace fhl maintenance afterward, and further. the most hopeful prospect to this, age now.i is the restoration of the old Union and the spec dy return of fratprnal feeling throughout the length and breadth of the land. Should tn, Government be restored to its former functions and all the States brought hack to their prac. tical relations under the Constitution, our sitn- ation will be greatly changed from whatit was before A radical and fundamental change has been made in the organic law. We shal have lost what was known as our peculiar i,stitu- ton. which was sointertwned with fhe whole frame work of our State body polite, We shall have lost nearly half the accumulated capital of a century, but shall have still left the essential of free government contained and embodied in the old Constitution, untouched and unimpair- cd, as they came from the hands ofour fathers
 9er Two weeks ago the Sentinel informed its readers that: |" We are obliged this week to leave out over two columns of advertise ments which are already in type '' As the next week they published buta little over one column of new advertisements, we feel some curiosity to know what has become of two eolums that were 2" already intype." A friend at our elbow says that he. does not be- lieve they had any such advertisements, but of course paper that is continually remind ing its contemporaries that i" honesty is the best policy" would not lie about such Q small matter. The 1.-two columns" were probably overlooked last W eek and we hope they will be found and inserted immediately, even if the editor has to sacrifice couple of columns of stupid editorials for that purpose We feel more interest in this matter because the Sen- tinel says :.:T They all bring us our full prices in cash, and we are not forced te take adver- tisements of gift enterprises and take onr pay in esrtideates and piaehbeck TateAss." in fer, fromsthia, that the publisherof the Senti- mel has been accustomed to take such kind of pay, i've know that no other paper in the conn ty ever has) and we congratulate him upon procuring two columns" to be paid for m eash" even though he takes them at the same rates that he has some others ;-thirteen and s half dollars per year for quarter of col amn 'Hss s ss. ee a gzsa A n@ Has the Enquirer heard that MT.

 Yes the Enquirer has heard oft, and read the speech, and. with all Mir. Johnson's true friends. and all loyal men, regrets that the speech was ever made. We. eonsidesedit it the office of true friendship towards the author, to assist in suppressing and not in extending it's circuation.
