SPEECH OF COL DAVIS ON THE PACIFIC ROAD.
FROM THE UNION OF YEsrE


PROM THE UNION YESTERDAY
We enabled to lay before our readers an APP
proved revsa Of the remarks made by Secretary DAVIS
at Philadelphia, to which much of the public after
ton has directed 1t obvious that the speech
as heretofore published imperecty reported, audit
was equally obvious that question of SO much mag
nude neither just to the speaker nor to the SUBJ
ect there should exist any ground for misconcpn
misunderstanding to the sentiments actually avowe
and the principles which they maintained. 1t
was under ais conviction that requested Col DAVIS
to supply the omissions and the obscurtes aris
ing the imperfectons of the report He has kind
ly complied with request and we present it with
full confidence that the positions announced in regard
to the Pacific railroad will Withstand every assault that
ingenuity talent make upon them We present it
imprcgnubie document; and, as it involves great
questions of constitutional power and of national nte
rest invite to it the most scrutnizing attention
1t may not be improper for us to remark that Col.
DAVIS draws clearly and emphaticaly the distinction be-
tween works within State and those in the United
States territory and that he discaims with earnesness
all idea of infringing upon the rights jurisdiction Of
the States 1t will be seen, too, that COL DAVIS has
made no allusion the question OF the selection of
routes, and in that particular showing that he is for
the road, and not for any particular route the
trolling consideration.
Without further comment publish the revised
speech preceded by the remarks also corrected in
gard to the ausion to the Presidents position with
which we accompanied the former publication of the
speech.

SECRETARY D yIs's 81

The newspaper report of the brief speech deli
vered by the Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS, at the Phi
laaephia banquet last month, has been made the
subject of 50 much remark by the public press
that he has been induced to furnish full and cor
rect report of it. which appeared in the Union yes
terday, anil which we subjoin.
The present report gives more precision to some
passages of the speech, but do not perceive any
material variation in sentiment doctrine from
the previous one 1t is manly yindicaton of the
power of the General Government to make the
great Pacific Railroad, in execution of its enjoined
and bounden duty to provide for the common de-
fence and general welfare.
