Hon. jefferson Davis speech

cr Senate of the United States, is somewha
~ remarkable one, when vicwel in the lgh
OF all the circumstances, OF time, place &c
Mr. Davis had spent the summer IN Main
. with the object of recruiting his health, am
had made few speeches during that time
remarkable for nothing in particular, hu
II their comparative tamcncSs. When TIN
!, time for his exodus came, he was Introduce
E to the solid men of Boston and Ncw York -
= the men Whose political principles and polit
icfl actions are regulated by cotton ther
mometcrs and good Ireghts, and requested
to make speeches. With these requests, the
. distinguished Missssippian was only happy
to comply. BY mingling with these men, it
is fair to presume he thinks the old game
of frightening them, can be practicad over
again. s., after consultation 1T Washing
ton, he hastens home, and commeats the
good work ut orce. 1t must b. confessed he
begins like an experienced workman at the
business. But the men nowadays that
will be scared out OF their propriety by the
stale cries which come up hot from the
mouths of such sectonalists, would he scared
by the appearance of d heavenly visitor with
long eaudal appaadagc, like the ons visible
this fall
But what will honest, sober minded men
think ,-men who think for themselves, and
are not carried away by any Of these clap
traps OF politician, Of the sentiments of
>-nltor Davis What will they say when
they find his disunion doctrines approved of
by papers in Maine, and the very papers that
affect to be startled by the hopeful aspira
tons of Mr.. Seward's speech? The one.
Mr.. seward utters sentiment that animated
the heart OF Thomas Je ifcr.on and found ut
teranee i'll the mature portion of his life
that the time would come when slaves would
not exist in the Unon-an1 it il dangerous
doctrine. The other person, Senator Davis.
utters in strong and bold language, disnnion
and unioyal >,ntiments. and he is eul5siz-d
in glowing terms.
