Alexander stephens-A Northern Estimate
of Him.

Alexander Stephens-A Northern Estimate
of Him.
The Biddeford (Me) Times, of the I'd
inst, has the following:
1t has been announced that this gentle
man had arrived at New York, where he
was invited to lecture, and also that he
was to lecture in Philadelphia. But it
seems that he is temporarily sojourning
with friend in the vicinity of Baltimore.
Mr.. Stephens has now in press, in Phila-
delphia, a work upon the cause Of the
late contest. the principles involved, and
the result of the war, which will no doubt
contain statements and views of great
value and interest. We can but think,
however, that Mr.. Stephens would render
great public service by appearing in
person before the people of the North,
and enabling them to realize the alarm
ing state of affairs at the South, and
impressing them with the serious
forebodings which he is known to en-
tertain in regard to the future. The peo-
pie seem to be in the dark, earnestly de-
string to be enlightened, and anxiously
seeking some means through which they
can learn the actual condition in which
the country is involved. No statesman
of the South commands, personally,
more of the good will of the Northern
people than Mr.. Stephens, and the al
most prophetic foresight manifested in
the memorable speech of his in Milledge-
vile, during the agitation of the seces-
sion question, in which he portrayed the
hazards of that perilous experiment, has
fully sttested, by what has since taken
place, that his views of the future viii
have consideration and weight which
would be accorded TO the opinions of
few other men. 1t is hoped therefore
that Mr.. Stephens will be induced to ac-
cept the invitations extended to him at
this opportune moment to address the
people of the North under the auspices
which solicit him to that cause.
