Hon. A. H. Stephens addressed the citi-
zens of Augusta last Friday. He spoke for
about two hours and half, and reviewed the
history Of the government from its foundation
to the present time, showing that a great

and constitutionalism the passage of the

destroy the public school system in the South.
He referred to President Grant, and would do
him justice, by saying that he had done his
duty; as to a. third term, he had no objection
to that, per Sc; he saw no reason why Presi-
dent who executed laws faithfully should not
be elected for third term, if people desire it ;
had looked into the Louisiana question, and
saw no sense in abusing President Grant for
his action in that affair. He spoke hopefully
of the future of the republic, and advised his
hearers to obey the laws, suppress lawlessness,
and be true to the constitution and Union as
established by our fathers. He proclaimed
himself Jefersonian Democrat, and had
great faith in the triumph of those principles.
