Northern Abettors of JEFF Davis.

The paltry excuses offered by the Lewis
town Democrat for publishing a defence
Of JET Davis and ADVOCATING DIS
UNION, after he was in open rebellion
against this government, is by no means
satisfactory to the loyal people of this
county, and we therefore repablish it that
better explanation of this traitorous arti-
Gle may be demanded:
From the Lewistown Democrat Feb IS, 1861
Attitude of the Southern C0nfederacy .
Some of the Republican papers are endeav-
oring to reinVigorate the dropping spirit of
coercion by representing the speeches of
JEFFERSON DAVIS, President of the new
Southern Confederacy, as breathing defiance
and inviting war. The Tribune says that
Mr.. DAVIS talks of war as " welcome con
tingency," and it urges more extensive pre-
paration in the Northern States than have
yet been made. 1t seeks to convey the i'm
preston that the Northern States are abso
lutely in danger of an attack from the troops
of the Southern COnfederacy, with the evi
dent intention of inducing military prcpar
ations by the North. Now nothing could be
more false and dangerous than these state
ments. The inaugural address of Mr.. DAVIS
does not contain a single word which even
hints at aggressive war. On the contrary,
he states clearly and explicitly the desire of
the separated States for peaceful recognition
of their independence. If words like these
can be tortured into menace of the North we
are at a loss to understand how Mr.. Davis
says: AS a necessity, not choice, we
have resorted to the remedy of separation,
land henceforth our energies must be direct.
"ed to the conduct of our own affairs, and
" the perpetuity of the Confederacy which we
:" have formed. IF just perception of mu-
tual interest shall permit us peaceably to
"pursue our separate political career. my
"most earnest desire will have been fulfilled
" But if this be denied US ard the integrity
" of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed,
!" it will but remain for us, with firm resolve,
" to appeal to arms, and invoke the blessing
" of Providence on a just cause"
The substance of this language is, that the
separated States are in earnest, that they de-
sire peace, but if they are attacked they will
defend themselves. They don't threaten to
make war upon the Government, but if the
Government attempts to coerce them, then
they will resist-and their separate Confed
eracy would be a ridiculous farce if they did
not. There can be no war without the North
insists upon it.
