THE DEMOCRAT.
yar stepheu., Political Views.

Nkr Slcpnens EOAANACAA NAc"H-
Nfr. stephens, of Georgia, has not
ceased TO be political power In that
part ofthe country. So far from this,
his opinions are received with pro-
found Difference. t~
The editor of the Augusta Constr
tutionslIst, who has Just paid him
visit, writes: -.-
1t has been complained that Mr..
Stephens did not take any public part
in the so-called Reconstruction meas
ures. In this retirement from partici-
patton In the contest, he felt that 1t
was the better course for him to pur-
sue, inasmuch as no good could be &C
.complished otherwise From the
first he perceived that the Congress.
ional enactment would he carried out
Der Ids eEne6dS. Hence the best thing
for Southern men to do was to remain
silent aud passive. If as some sug'
yested, we were q conquered people,
with 3 deEiaI OF the right Of regulat'
ing our own affairs, then 1t were bet
ter TO throw the entire responsibility
ofgoverning us upon those who claim
ed to have Vanquished US. Violent
opposition would be impracticable,
hut endurance would be possible and
profitable at last But it is the worst
misfortune of 4 people To attempt the
sham of self government at the dicta>
ton ofthe vanquishers! such a gov
ernment would be theirs, aud yet
they would force US TO declare it to
be ours parodOx at once mOnstrous
and corrupting. All disastrous con-
sequences would be caused by alien
force and fraud, and yet our people
would assume the responsibility.
-. N 40 h..n FfnI
aceusatlon, when brought face TO face
with calamitS, that we brought it on
ourselves az our own act? For such
reasons, which Wa have but imper-
fectly sketched, Mr.. stephens thought
and many persons agreed with him,
that mastery Inactivity was Indeed
the only chance for the preservation
intact OF our self-respect.
Mr.. S'ephans Is still ofopinion that
passive conduct Is the better course.
That Is: We should obey the laws
and the Constitution as they staud
and so long as they stand. We
should offer no violent opposition TO
the authorities bur, while obeying
them, no affected approval should be
given of any thing we believe to be
wrong. The ballot box, much as IL
has been abused, Is still potent for the
cure OF fpohtical evils. Tolt we should
look for q restoration Of liberty. We
should cooperate only with those
who recognize the sovereign right Of
local government by the people
in their respective commemorative
Awhether they call themselves Dem
ocrats or by any other nomenclature.
BY such a corss the day of our re-
demption may finally arrive. BUTT
oa, v,axrav- rsf,rr1aaTn nfhar
The principle OF local self govern
mem, a. a soverlgn right, was the
foundation OF American indepen-
dence. Massachusetts, was the first
to start IT. And the cry responded
from all the colonies. 1.-The cause of
Boston Is the cause of as all ~ Even
IT. refusing self degradation, we pass
again under military rule, anothe con-
tinental cry, sooner or later may surge
over the land-"15he cause of Georgia
Is the cause Of tLs al" ri 81.

WASHINGTON AS A NEIGHBoR.-A news
paper correspondent who has recently been
''mousing" about Mt. Vernon speaks of Wash
ington's reputation among his neighbors, as
represented by their descendants, as follows:
Some of the Northern people now living
there say they have lost the romance they
once had concerning Washington, for they
learn directly from tradition that as a neigh
Dor he was unsociable, naughty, very exact
ing, and quick tempered. Something of this
may be true, but he had q worthless set OF
slaves to deal with, and besides, there were
squatters through the woods who Lrespassed
on his timber and fishing grounds, killed
most of the deer he tried to keep and in va
rious ways annoyed him, and il is not likely
that they have handed down anything pleas
ant that he said of them. Something also is
due to political feeling, for the Democrats
charged him with being an aristocrat. The
truth is, he was man who paid the closest
attention TO his affairs, nothing that in any
way concerned him escaped his attention,
and he could i'll bear unfhrilt and improvi-
dence and depreciation. Hence, when absent,
his minute direction to his overseers. When
the wal was over, and our independence was
gained, he felt that he had work enough TO
do at Mount Vernon, without taking upon
himself the cares of government, kingly or
otherwise, and he says, "To an undebauched
mind the task OF making improvements on
ea1th are much more delightful than all the
vain glory acquired by ravaging it,"
The correspondents explanation is M
doubt satisfactory. The Viaginian mind be-
came so thoroughly debauched by slavery
that even the character Of the Father of his
country has not escaped detraction. Those
who have conversed with native Virginians
are aware of the scandalous traditions con-
cerning Washington that are handed down
orally from generation TO generation, so far
as can be ascertained, having any basis in
fact. -.l--l IL
