On the strength of a most careful and con-

wherever he goes in spite of the efforts Of the
secessonsts. Senator Davis Is stamping it
through the State, endeavoring to counteract
the influence of General Foote, but no meets
with but slight encouragement. In fact, it is
said that in order TO get together an audience
to hear him, it is announced that he will speak
for the Union. 1t is understood that Quitman
will not be nominated against Foote, but Davis
will be. The secessionists are afraid to risk
the contest under Quitman."
Those who attempt to pass off such base
coin, knowing it to be counterfeit, are as criminal
as the original forgers.

which we have at hand, all establishing the
unblushing audacty of such fabrcations

as some of Mr.. FooTE's home organs are, they
dare not indulge in such wholesale perversions
as their anxious neighbor, whose fortunes are
embarked on the same ricketty bottom. The

The Mississippian, of the both ult, thus re-
fers to Col. DAVIS canvass in the east:
The tour of Col. Davis in the eastern counties
has been attended with the most gratifying re-
suits. The people, wherever they have mad due
notice of his appointments. have turned out in
large numbers, and men of all parties and creeds
have listened to him with an attention that
bespeaks the deep interest they feel in the mo-
mentous issue upon which they will soon be
called to vote. The people know that Jefier-
son Davis is no brawing demagogne, who agi-
tates the political waters that he may rise to the
surface. He is already riding upon the very
crest of the popular billow, and can have no
personal ends TO accomplish. His labors are for
the good of Mississippi. He has participated in
the great contests in the halls of legislation, in
which, by the force of superior numbers, she has
been shorn Of her rights; and comes back to his
constituency to relate the facts, to warn them of
the consequences, and in the capacity of private
citizen, TO interchange opinions with them, and
to point out the way of safety
We have already given an account of his
speaking at Westville and Raleigh. His next
appointment was at Montrose; and the next at
Pauldng, where the crowd was immense. For
three hours he spoke to delighted auditory. A
friend who was present writes us that he con-
verted the unbelieving, established the doubtful,
and built up the bel evers. On the succeeding
day, he spoke at Enterprise to large crowd,
where they are nearly all, both Wings and De-
moerats, in favor of Southern Rights. This is
the place OF residence of the Hon ]. J. McRae,
who gave Gen. Foote such a warm reception
when he entered that vicnage. At Marion, there
was an immense gathering. correspondent
says that "many were converted, and more
enthusiastic crowd you never have SEEM The
eff .ct of the speech was great; and we set down
La lderdile as good and true. The Southern
Ri yhts party will carry the county by large
majority. The county of hemper turned out in
great force to hear Col Davis, both at DeKalb
and Wahalak The Foote party were eflectually
crushed.
Such in brief, has been our faithful Senator'S
tour over the mighty East Various Incidents
have been related illustrative of the effects Of
his addresses On one occasion, il is stated,
that distinguished gentleman was expected TO
answer him, and went prepared to take notes of
his speech with that view; but when he heard
the facts and arguments of the speaker, and
understood correctly the position Of the friends
of Southern Rights, he forsook the submis-
sionists, and "he who went to scof, remained
TO pray."
At his appointments yet TO be filed, the
people have had due notice of his coming, and,
we suppose will turn out, as they did in the
East, in large numbers. After the June Con
vention, he will make a new list ofappointments,
embracing all the Northern counties
The Paulding (Miss) Clarion, also a paper
of high character, confirms this in the following
paragraph
CHEERING NEws-We have received ac-
counts from various counties through which
Davis and Brown have passed since they left
Jaspar, which communicate the intelgepce of
the rapid advance of the cause of the South in
the minds of the great mass of the people
that those gentlemen were received with shouts
of applause wherever they have spoken, and
produced deep and lasting impression upon
the minds of all who heard them. If there is
any sensible man in our State who has ever
believed that the people of Mississippi would
desert their former position--their principles
and the true friends of the South, in order to con
tinuc men In power who have betrayed the high
trust committed to their hands, it is time he was
undeceived. Mississippi will never be guilty of
such folly.
