HILL ON CAMILLA.

The celebrated Orator Puff was famous for
two voices Orator b. III. Hill of Georgia bids
fair to become no less famous. One of his
voices was prOfusely heard at Seymour
ratification meeting held not long since
at Atlanta. His other voice may be
heard in the lamb-like tones of his letter
to The TRIBUNE, which we print this
morning. We have sought, by the fairest
publication of all the accounts of the recent
riot at Camilla, to give our readers an oDpor-
tunity to find the exact facts of that deDlora-
BILE occurrences and we now cheerfully give
space to this trusted leader of the Georgia
Democracy to present to our more than quar-
ter of a million subscribers his explanation and
vindication of the conduct of his friends, the
rioters. Let ms briefly examine it.
The essential feature in Mr. Hills defense is
an arraignment of certain Southern Republi-
cans for holding the language and adopting
the habits of other Southern freemen. They
,vould hold meetings, like other Georgians
they could carry arms, like other Georgians
(save that, unlike Mr.. Hills friends they car
RED them openly, and therefore not ille-
galy); they ,rould talk extravagantly, like other
Georgans. We wish to be distinctly under
stood as not giving our unqualified commenda-
ton to all these practices. But really Mr.. Hill
must remember that-as he and his compatriots
have so often explained to us-these particular
Republicans happen to come of an initiative
race. They have hardly got used to the ways
of freemen yet, and they very naturally act as
they have been in the habit of seeing other
freemen act.
We submit that the well-used bugbear of
the terrible danger of negro Instruction might
have been spared this latest airing Whenever
some especial atrocity is to be defended, we
are sure to be treated to a negro rising We
had a whole crop of them in embryo in the
years directly preceding the war. We have been
having them at stated intervals ever since its
close. The wicked lambs riH persist in muddy
ing the water above the peaceful wolves. 1t is
little too late TO rely on that dodge. The world
knows that the race which remained quiet and
peaceful in the midst of a terrible civil war,
with its freedom or slavery as the stake at
ISSUE is not going to break out into insurrec-
tons now. The men who did not revolt against
Slavery will not revolt against Freedom. Mr..
Hill pTesumes upon the intelligence OF TRIBUNE
readers. They know better.
We wish there were no arms borne at polt-
ical or other meetings in Georgia. But the
people who have been bearing them secretly
and illegally all their lives, make very sorry
show in coming forward now with whining
complaints against people who have only lately
begun, under belief of necessity which this
practice and example suggested, TO bear arms
openly and legally. And is it so novel a thing
for Democratic organs to urge the arming of
their clubs Listen to the advice of the editor
of the real organ Of the unterriied Democracy

DIR. Frederick Schultz, one Of the electors on
the Republican ticket of our State, and gener-
ally admired as one of the most effective Ger
man Republican speakers of the country, has
proposed public debate on the political situa-
ton to Mr.. Oswald 0ttendorfer the editor of
The Stats Zeitung and one of the electors on
the Democratic ticket Mr. Ottendorfer has
accepted the challenge, only making, in cense-
ouence of the state of his health, some con-
ditions to which DR.. Schultz has readily as
sented. The debate, which will be conducted
in the German language, will take place in the
latter part of October, in one of the large
halls of the city, and will undoubtedly draw
large audiences

M1zzIyr ON THE EASTERN QUESTION.


Joseph Mazzini has written an interesting
letter to the Polish nation on the Eastern qucs-
ton. and in particular on the attitude whlch
the Poles ought to assume with regard 10 IT,
We print the letter this morning, and commend
it to the attention of our readers, for 1t be-
longs among the best reviews of the Eastern
question from republican point OF view, ana
compares well with the best of the many
stirring manifestoes which have emanated from
the prolific pen of Mazzini.
The Polish Liberals, in general, are IN pro-
found sympathy with every progressive move
ment in Europe. Only in the Eastern question
some have left the common cause, and, In
order to have an opportunity to fight against
the ambitious schemes of the Car, have en-
listed in the service of the Sultan. Mazzlnrs
address, with great eloquence and force, shows
that the Christians of Turkey are fighting for
the same sacred cause for which the Poles
have so long struggled and suffered, and that,
therefore, they ought to have the profound
sympathy of every Liberal Pole. The popula-
ton of most of the Christian provinces OF
Turkey belongs, like the Poles, to the Slavic
race and when they shall have achieved their
independence they will represent, together with
tho Poes. a free branch of the great Slavic race
"a barrier rather than an ally to the dynastio
plans of the Car.
Mazzini, like Garibaldi, and like nearly all
the chiefs of the Liberal movement in Europe,
accepts the nationality principle as constituting,
in union with the principles of popular SOW
ereignty and universal suffrage, the basis OF u
reconstruction of Europe. The views which he
presents are true and just, and well character
ize the irresistible current of the great move
ment which is now remodeling Europe. Only
in one point we dissent from his views. llo
represents the idea of Panslavsm as one hostile
to the Liberal aud Republican principle, and
as altogether subscrvient to the interests of the
Gar 1t may be true at present that the
greater portion Of the Panslayist party In
Russia thus abuse the idea of Panslavism but
this is entirely accidental. If the Poles,
the Czechi, tho Seryians, tho Bull
garians, should achieve their independence
and establish and develop the freest institu-
tons, they would cherish and foster the idea
of Panslavism just as much as now, when the
only place where the idea can be developed is
dcspotic Russia. Panslavism means nothing
but the drawing together into one alliance, or
it may be-into one confederation of all the
Slavic States and districts, not the absorption
of all foreign Savi by Russia. Taken in this
sense-as an alliance or confederation of all
districts purely Slavic-Panslayism is certain to
become ere long an established fact, and when
carried through will incite the Teutonic and
Latin peoples of Europe to follow their exam
pie rather than to envy them, and jealousy
endeavor to undo what they have accom-
plishcd.
