In your paper of this morning Won nnblisb

ing some remarks relative to a speech am re-
ported 10 have made at Canton Miss to the
Congressional excursionists lately in this CITY,
Inc Herald is IN error. made no speech at
canton or elsewhere to those excurs ionists but
conversed with them freely, and openly said
that the South had fought the North so desDer-
ately, because it was defending what it conceiy-
ed to be its constitutional rights; that having
appealed to the arbitration of arms it yielded to
the decision which was given against it: that
believed the people of the South were now
willing to accept the Constitution as made nv
war, and understood by the Supreme Court Of
the United States. 1 said also, in my opinion.
that the questions of secession and slavery
were forever settled, and SO far as was concern
ed, under no circumstances would 1 counte-
nance any effort to revive them; that we must
now direct our energies and our vitality to re-
pairing the ravages of war, and restoring to
our homes some of those comforts and that
prosperity which they formerly enioyed In
answer to questions of some of the excnrson
lists, if thought the South would accent the
Constitutional amendment, replied, that, es-
chewing politics and attending strictly to pri-
vate business and the duties Of nv position'
had little opportunity, except through news
papers, to ascertain public sentiment on the
subject, but if they desired to know nv indi
vidual opinion, would say that the South
would not and should not accept those amend
ments, even II presented as finality, for its in
terest and manhood forbade it; that we well
knew that we were at the mercy of the North,
but that the South would never do anythino
whichits honor could not approve, to protect
itsinterests, and l believed would remain pas
sive spectators Of the struggle going on at the
North, relying on sober second Thought and q
sense Of justice in both parties, to protect us
