Another convincing proof, Of the effect o
his speech, was, that the Union meetin,
was called ut its close, and the who'll

The proceedings Of Monday, give US proof
strong as Holy Writ" that Yazoo county
will be true to herself = Missssi pp, an
the South. About three iourths of the W
ters ct the county, had an opportunity q
hearing Col. Davis, either at Benton o
Yazno city, and we believe three.fourtHs g
that number approved his course and hi
speech. There was nothing in his speecI
which his most bitter opponent could con
demn' aud he said all that the most fervi
Southern man could or did desire. Thos,
who condemn HIM shew want of confd
ence in the people, which they would b
ashamed to acknowledge. He asks tn
Legislature to do nothing, but give to tn,
people the chance Of doing all they ma
desire. AS faithful public servant, h
wishes his sovereign the people in thes
troublous times to have far opportunit
ofadvising and instructing him And VIII
will do them tho iniustice, the wrong, I
say they shall not. Let the people speal
muzzle them not; let them meet in cor
VsntiOn or otherwise and devise sue
means as they may deem best adapted I
