The Richmond Enquirer ana MempnlS Appeal
disagree relative to the speech-making of JEFF.
Davis. We can not make out that either of
them is really opposed to his doctrines or his
aims; but they don't agree in regard TO the pol
icy of bringing him forward, Just now, with
shouts and serenades, to predict revival and
triumph of the "lost cause" The Richmond
Enquirer thinks he should, at present, be kept
in the shade and not permitted to speak loud
enough to be heard in the street. We propose,
says the Enquirer, " to unite with the great
democratic party of the north, and try TO beat
the republicans; and this can be done, if we are
not embarrassed by such imprudent utterances."
Therefore, JEFF. Davis must suspend this sort
of talk" and keep out of sight. 1t is not said
that his talk is wrong, nor that he and the En-
quirer do not aim at the same results; but the
latter is sure that success can be reached only
through THE great democratic party of the
north" which is embarrassed by this sort of
talk" JEFF. Davis, too, looks for help to the
same party; but he can not always resist the
temptation to perform little as leader and ora
Gle. If they could "beat the republicans"
wouldn't he break loose and talk!
The Memphis Appeal spurns this hypocriiical
COuCCdlul6uly anu lIolsbo iudl JUL laws sndll
be allowed to talk incessantly, if he desires.
He has a right to talk; he is ''the living repre-
sentative of our cause" and yet they would
"deny him the liberties of negro" We have
submitted to everything, continues the Appeal;
we have seen slavery abolished, and the ordi-
nance of secession annulled; we have submitted
to negro rule and to thieying carpet-baggers; we
have lived through prosecutions and despotism;
but there is one thing we cannot, will not do;
radical despots require us to spit upon Jetfer-
son Davis to prove our loyalty, and the apos-
tates in search of spoils would muzzle him like
n dog on the streets" This shall not be done;
he has the love, admiration and confidence of
every true southerper, and he shall talk when
and where he will. of he would speak more,
and the little editors who would muzzle him
would cease their contemplate rhodomontade,
the public interest would be greatly pro-
NOTED"
1t can not be denied, that the speeches of JEFF.
Davis trouble the active leaders Of his party,
who are planning to 'beat the republicans"
but, in any case, they must find it troublesome
to deal with the fact, that he and his feel sure of
realizing their aims in a triumph of the "great
democratic party" in the next presidential cleo
ton. This unhung secession traitor is their
man; he has always been their man, and he will
be counted as their man, whether he talk or
keep or silence. They would not be special at
torneys of the kuklux assassins, and cultivate
close political relations with the southern adj
mirers and followers of this man. if it were not
their purpose Concealed for the present as far as
possible) to give them what they demand. Be-
fore the next election, all concerned must imi-
tate inscriptions Vallandgham and talk to
''beat the republicans" After election, if they
succeed, the concealed part of the programme
will be in order. The Nashville organ of ode
mocracy" tells the truth thus 1.-THE democracy
of the north who are striving to rescue the gov
eminent from the clutches Of despotism do not
ask Mr.. Davis to change his individual convic-
tons; but they do ask Of him silence"
