To Jefferson Davis, late President uu the
late Southern cOafeaerGey:
The undersigned, yoor ardent admirers
who follerd willinly yoor lead in the late
tour the South took after addIshnel rites.
witch unfortnisly resultid in the loss Nv
sieh Nv EN- ez We he'd, beg leave to tender
700 ez a testimony Nv their esteem, the
Presidency nv the Ham and Japheth
Academy for the development NV the IN
tellek Nv all races irrespective Nv race or
color, Nv wlch / hev the honor 10 be. one
Nv the Fakulty.
We wOrshlpt 700 before yoor ontimely
capcher In female apparel, for the dignity
with wich 700 bore yoorself doorin yoor
prosperous days, yoor manliness doorin
yoor long and unconstitooshnel inearcera-
shen in q Fedral bastile, and yoor hawty
though silent assershen Nv the natraI 500
perior1ty Of the SOUTHERN NAN doorin the
annoyin proceedings Rich ended in yoor
Triumphant release from yoor abasht per-
secooters, and we feel that in yoor hands
the intrests nv the Institoot will be entire
ly safe.
Many reasons impel US to this course:
First. We assoom that VOC are Door IN
this worlds goods. Troo, VOC he'd oceans
Nv money passin thro the Treasury doorin
the fratisidle struggle forced pinto US bv
the North, but wat chance he'd VOC foI
steelin, with Benjamin and Mallory and
them fellows with 700, who he'd he'd the
benefit Nv practice doorin Pierce and Boo
lannon's administrations. A man Good.
ent make days wages speculatin in a
Treasury witch them men he'd gone
through.
Second. Yoo wood be Nv benefit to us.
With yoor name at the head Nv our fscul.
ty, the Northern Democracy wood shell ont
Their stamp with q Iberality never before
witnest, and the Instltoot wood be en-
dowed heftier than any similar institoo-
shen in the country. The Kings name is
a tower " strength. Remember that the
Democracy Nv the North give the excl
Vallandigum $30,000 In ten cent contri-
booshens. Eff they'd do that for him and
sieh, wat woodent they do for 700? The
greater swallers up the lesser. There
never will be SIGH a favorable opportooni
ty for you to become q ten center, witch is
trooly equivalent to bein q he'd center,
Ez q matter Nv eoorse 700 will hey
~objeekshuns. Known wat they will be

/. The incomplete state Ku the hstitooE-
We acknowledge thatit isn't in sieh q state
Nv -complet1dnis ez We Good desire. Not to
put too fine q pint onto it. it Amt built at
all. But the corner stun is laid. There's
q good deal in that A eorner.stun il =
good thing. The corner stun nv the In
stitoot is laid. From the layin Nv corner
stuns great results follow. President
johnson laid q corner. stun st Chicago, and
your release followed. He didn't get Yery
far into the afeekshuns nv the people
North, but he got 700 out Nv Fortress
Monroe. Jist let me fling our banner to
the breeze with the name Nv ~. Davis
onto it and how quickly wood the means to
finish the lnstitoot be fortheomin : All in
deedl Their wood be tournaments held
all over the South in its behalf The
Knite Nv the Sore Eyes woodtilt agin the
knite Nv the Cropped Ears the Knite Nv
the Bandy Legs wood run q course and be
glOriied again the Knite Nv the Released
Chief, for its benefit and the Queens nv
Love and Beauty wood bid EN-, more fer
vently than ever before, TO lay their fish
poles In rest and runtheir corse 2. the In
gy Rubbers Teething Rings and do ther
devours manfully, IN SIGH q cause. Their
wood be fairs held in Moo York for this
fupd, and y. Chancey Burr and Henry
Clay Dean wood deliver iekters all over
the North In its behalf, working in q
double benefit, viz: affordin Us a little
money, Burr clean paper collars and Dean
clear stocks In fact the coz nv the i'll
success the Institoot hez met with thus far
may be found in the fact that Their hunt

probable that q change will come over the
