MIR. VS. SPEECH.

Whether Mr.. Davis meant well or i'll in
his speech at the Southern Historical Asso-
citation the other day the result is admlra-
Die. We don't know when we have seen
such shower of disclaimers Of hostility to
the Federal Government as its publication
has brought from the press from Virginia
to New Orleans. These disavowals have the
additional value of being made under no
stress, and not made in depreciation OF
"what the North will say" In Virginia,
happily we are as careless of what Massa-
chusetts thinks of us as Massachusetts 10 of
what we say of her. As long as the Cen
eral Government does not interfere with
Virginia more than it does with New York,
it has as true State in her as it has ID
New York. IF Mr.. Davis thinks or says
otherwise, he mistakes the temper Of the
people of this Safe and, we believe, Of the
whole South. Mr.. Davis recollection of the
South is hot one, heated in the red furnace
Of war. He hasn't cooled himself and he
thinks the people havn't, but they have
They have followed the example Of that il
lustrious Virginia leader who lies in Licking
ton, whose name is spoken in reverence and
love by all Virginians, and will in time be
named with pride all over this Union-pride
that he was an American. They have ad,
dressed themselves to promote the prosperi
ty Of this country. They havn't time tic
hate the North or anybody else. They are
busy.
Nobody supposes that Mr.. Davis
would do the South an injury, but he can
do and he does do it by such speeches.

you see. They don't understand that Mr.
Davis is speaking for himself, and still iden
tify him with the representa- tive of the South
ern people.
AS for Mr.. Davis remark about the me-
of Virginia, he has the credit of being the
first man in the South OF in this country, OIL
in the civilized world, to intimate that the
men Of Virginia fell short of their full duty
10 the late war.

THE BACKPAT GRAB.

That the Convention at Lynchburg refused;
and that at Richmond failed, to condemn the
back-pay business, should be no excuse fol. its
liberation by the people Of Virginia, who,
however their politial leaders may fall short
Of representing them, are not lacking in a
high sense Of right. The Westmoreland
Conservatives have nominated the Hon. Mr..
Critcher, late member of Congress, as their
candidate for the Senate. If he has re.
aeived his back-pay, Or has not returned it
to the United States Treasury.it is earnestly
to be hoped that be will be defeated. No
man who is honestly convinced that be has
a right to draw the back.pay, wrung from
the sweat of Southern as well Northern
brows, fraudulently voted to him, should be
in the Virginia Senate. Let the Conserva.
tive party Of Virginia be true at amy cost.

THE FIRST MEETING BETWEEN KEMpER AND
HUGHEs-A SPLENDID CAM.
PAIGN SPEECH.
The appointed meeting between General
Kemper and "Col." Hughes, at Warrenton.
Monday, took place. Hughes was already
there, with Chandler and Ramsdell, when
Kemper and Withers arrived. The speak.
ing was arranged, for Hughes, an hour;
kemper to reply, an hour Chandler an
hour, and Withers to reply to him, an hour
and then Chandler to wind up with half an
hour Ramsdell, who is no speaker, had
nothing to say. Hughes went off on side
issues of no interest in the canvass. but
kemper, with capital judgment, pulled him
right down to the real questions. A full
sketch of Kemper's speech is published in
the Richmond Dispatch" from which we
make the following extracts &.

THE LAST TINE.

The. point SO strongly put by Mr.. A.
Koiner in his speech here Monday, cannot
be too well pondered by the white people of
Virginia. If they let the Radicals carry the
next State election, Virginia is gone from
us .forever If Hughes were elected, no
matter how great majorities we piled up to
recover the State at the next election, his
party would held on to it. They would
make false returns just as they have done
in Louisiana, and would be supported by
theU S. Courts and Federal bayonets just
as was done in Louisiana, and they would
be in power time without end. Let us try
and remember this. Virginia, dear old
Virginia, gone from US forever! Can any
man think of staying away from the polls
when he thinks Of this calamity?

EXTRACT FROM SENATOR HUNTERS SPEECH
vIRGINIANs TO GOVERN VIRGINIA
We are now to determine by what constit.
| uency is Virginia to be governed here at
home and in her State government We
all say by Virginians iu fact and in truth,
Virginiaus ia heart and soul, in interest and
in feeling Let this be done, and we feel
safe, but in no other mode. If ea,h of the
States could be governed by constituency
thus formed, and true to them, aud if the
rights Of the States could be fully and com
p(etely respected, peace and prosperity would
soon return. Such disgraceful spectacles as
are now to be seen in South Carolina. and
Louisiana would disappeat. and State after
State would wheel upon the track 10 one
grand and united progress which would
strike the beholder with wonder and admira.
ton at such an example of human control
over the elements of time and space against
whose difficulties and distractions mans
progress has been limping heretofore
The most splendid eulogy ever pronounced
upon the majesty Of the law in any country
was Chatham's celebrated declaration, that
in England ''every mans house was bis cas-
tie" Happier and prouder still would
be the boast if it could be truly said in this
country, that in each Of the United States
the people owned its government. With
in the limits of its legitimate jurisdiction its
people are supreme. 1t may be poor, it may
be weak, but the United States government
with all its wealth cannot buy it, with its
power cannot control it.
There are matters undoubtedly within
the control Of the general government which
involve high and deep interest Of society,
and which may well awaken anxiety and SO.
licitude. But mans highest interests in life
are concentrated about his home and fire
side. Pro aris ct focSs is the most solemn
of all invocations. What Virginian can be
insensible to SO sacred a call when it is made
as we now make it and beseech him to aid
us in placing Virginia under the rule of Vir..
ginians If there be any Virginian born
who is not qualified to enter this association.
by love and devotion to his native State, let
him cultivate these sacred affections in his
heart and he may easily become one Of them.
