W;atc5 Davis, OF this CITY, had addressed the
citizens Of brooklyn, in the Brooklyn Academy
Of Music, on The Southern Insurrec;ion and

Suppress it." IL seems that HE speaker ven.
tured upon a course Of argument adverse to
the course CT ,he administration in several
respects, aud more especially in relation TO the
| suspension Of tho writ Of habeaS corpus.
The audience, though giving him much ap-
olause, elso expressed its dissent from his
views on several occasions, and The New York
Times" visits the speaker with a sharp re-.
| buke, and intlmates that Mr. Davis is subject
to DO wrong headed, and, like other patriotic
! ,asn, 10 mistake his vocation. -Ealtim9rs San.
