JEFFERSON DAVIS ABROAD vs.. JEFFERSON DA-
v1s AT HoME.-During the late travels of the
Hon. Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi
Away, down in Maine,
he exhibited himself. in his public speeches in
the attractive character Of conservative Union
statesman. In fact, his political opinions and
views, as set forth to the Down Casters, differed
as widely from the antecedents of the same gem
tleman in the South as does. Puritan thanks
giving frcm Mississippi barbecue. 0uc read
ers will recollect how gratefully we hailed the
accession of this extraordinary man into the
conservative Union camp. But Gen. Davis has
returned to Mississippi and, finding thai all over
the South the fire-eaters had been hauling him
over the Goals for his Northern alterations, he
casts aside his travelling Quaker hat and shad
bellied coat, puts on his regimentals and dis
courses, in his old strain. Of Southern rights,
Southern wrongs secession, civil war, artillery,
and small arms, and of ''Mssissippi's best and
bravest." Ion the perilous ridge of battle" ga
thcring to '.the harvest home Of DEATH
But do not imagine, o! innocent reader, that
there is any real danger in the speech Of
the renowned Southern leader. Nothing Of the
sort is intended General Davis is politician,
and like all other politicians, he adapts his music
to the peculiar proclivites here and there Of his
audience. Orator Puff had two tones to his
voice." and every aspiring politician in. these
days has two or three. 10 suit the different lati
tudes, climates, productions and institutions of
this extensive country. Like player upon the
stage, General Davis, when Down East" spoke
to the house; but down South he is speaking
aside" to his confidential friends, of something
which is not in the play when he talks Of seces-
sion, cannon foundries and musket factories.
Apart from this seasoning of Southern ultra
pepper and salt, the Mississippi speech Of General
Davis is found exceedingly interesting, espe-
cally his treatment Of Mr.. Stewards Rcches-
ter manifesto, his views of Mr.. BuchanaA's adj
ministration, and his opinions of Mr.. Douglas,
between whom and the Mississippi Senator
there is very significant disagreement upon
the subject Of slavery in the Territories
As another bid from Presidential aspirant
for the succession, this speech indicates the
drifi Of the wind in the South: and in prelerring
the general policy Of the administration to the
ephemeral crotcbets Of Mr.. Douglas, General
Davis. we apprchend. has completely oulgenc-
rallied his Southern competitors, who have be-
trayed their readiness TO desert the President for
the doubtful fortunes Of the Illinois demagoguc.

the deepotim Of SPAN over her South American
co onies, and still alter 'r opposing European
schemes among them, the sense Of Justice end
right rebelled, and the people not only counte>
nanced the inffaction of the law, but no jury has
yet been found that would bring in verdict Of
guilty under it,
There is yet another cause Or the existence Of
the flibuster spirit among US, and one which con-
tributes in no mall degree to its perpetuaton.
Acting under tn same policy Of subservience
to the European Pow ere, the government has ne
elected its mani eat duty towards the Spanish
American republics. II has for many years ex-
hibited no sympathy in heir efforts to establish
permanent institutions. 1t has taken nc interest
in their domestic affairs, while the intrigues Of
the European representatives have been constant
ly employed in favor Of absolutism and tie sub
lection Of the people. Mexico is case u point.
There the name of Poinsett, who was the Ameri-
can Minister during Jackson's administration, is
still appealed to with reverence and affection by
the liberals Of every school. His coulsels in
the construction of their first federal constilu-
ton, and his efforts in favor of popular liberty,
are remembered conhdiDgly; and hadhis Jackso-
nisn policy been sustained by subsequent admin
istraiions, the American influence would not
have waned as ii has, and an American Minister
would not have been driven with insult from
the country as has just now been the case.
These are the causes which are giving Life to
the filibuster spirit, and rendering nugatory all
the efforts Of the government TO repress it. II
the administration would avoid all the trouble
which il is yet destined to experience from the
flibusters, let it purge from the law those cx-
IRENE penalties which make it conflicting with
the Law Of nations and repugnant to the com
mon sense of the people; and, above all, let it
adopt policy of action in these Sparish-Ame
rican questions, and do its duties towards them.
SO long as it neglects these, the people will en-
deavor 10 fiji the place which it should occupy.
and in the absence of national efforts ir favor of
the establishment Of good governments there, we
shall have private expeditions for that purpose.
