John O. Davis, Of 1ndiAEa, ex N. c.,
made aspeeeh at a conservative meet
ing in Rockville, Ind, . few weeks ago,
which is q good sample Of the feelings
Of those fa~ctionists who are forever Ro-
cusing the Administration Of tramplibg
on the laws. Davis threw off the mask
and said
neuer OW pledgs myself 10 submit 70 AZ
taDs Congress may pass. Idon not say that
have reference TO tho Conscript Act.
Some say we must submit TO that, but |
will not say whether you should or not.
Some say, let the Supreme Court decide
the matter. Probably you would not
get a decision from the Supreme Court
for ten years. Hang your hopes on a
leatherwood and not on . willow tree.
[ never will submit to everything; |
would be a slave II did not take my gun
and defend myself Many tell you to
wait. II will take six or eight years to
redeem the Senate. The Administration
will be against you for two years. The
House will be Republican for q good
while. The elections will be held at the
point Of the bayonet in Kentucky, Mis-
souri,, ETC., by . dozen or 80 of men, as
has already been done.
Very hw-Abiding talk that, and in
tended, doubtless, to persuade the audi
ence 70 be good citizens.
Davis, v ho we suspect, is a blood rela
tive Of JEFF. Davis, then abused the
Home Guard Of Indiana, whose prompt
ness frightened Morgan from his work Of
| robbery and murder. lie said
What arc they for2 If they want 10
eight let them 20 down South. We are
taxed 20 arm these Home Guards. II
they are armed 10 s~ubjugate Democrats
we will fight them to the death.
Only think of tho wickedness of the
Indiana Home Guards trying to subju-
gate sgood Democrat like John Morgan,
It was an interference with Johns per-
sonal liberty, and besides it spoiled the
Copperhead programme. Davis closed
with this highly patriotic peroriation +:
Democrats in Indiana want this war
stopped-I would stop it now. You are
tho invaders and you can't subjugate
the South. The South know that their
rights have been taken away. No res
/ pect is paid TO private property by the
invading army. The South has been
victorious in nine battles out of ten.
Make a proposition TO the South for
peace, because we are the strong party
and thew are the weak. IF they won't
compromise let US separate in peace.
II will be seen that Messrs. J.. G.. Da-
Wis Wholesale and Retail Dealers in
Southern Rights and Habeas Corpus oc-
cupy exactly the same platform. Both
say that the rights of the South have
been taken away; both say that the
North 10 the invader; both say that the
North pays no respect to private proper.
ty; both say that the South can't b,
subjugated, and both affirm that tn,
South has been victorious in nine battles
out Of ten. Finally both are snxiouI
for a compromise; with this difference
however: JEFF. Davis would like to PLAY
quits, while John G.. Davis would lik,
70 ask the South's pardon, send back al
her fugitive negroes, and pay for tn,
missing ones, and assume the payment o
her war debt in addition TO recognizing
her as an independent nation. We blush
that q creature so vile, lraitorOus, am
utterly soulless, should walk the soil o
Indiana.
