Col DAVIS, in the early part ii his address,
however, asserts as bis oslliinn. that a reaction
in public sYstir7ent is taking place throughout
the Noftht; In States, and that the great body
Of the people were sound OF the subject Of
slavery ami the rights Of The South, AMI a de-
Sire for tha ~pefpetuity Of the Union.
This is precisely the point we contenled

We beE!eee now, and always have believed
that the masses Of the people Of Ibis country

the South and Southern institutions, aro>e
froza The throats Of political hucksters who
were willing t. ride any hobby, so long as it
.afty them into power and position
on the other hand, there were many |
p4fsons in The South equally ejamorous against
The North, who were continually harpins up-
On imaginary evils, and who would be salts
with nothing but secesSion:; It i,
