HnnCOck addressed N very largo ns
scinblngc NJ people last night. IN nj
ludlng 10 The recent letter Of T.. i
Davis he said.
II was H. famous IN its character
aud designed alone for political capita
nj the north. He regretted liz appear
nnce ns coming from u man who had
nude his residence among us. llt
MIR. H0iCOckl was uctuatcd 10y nl
malice toward any one differing In pn-
iitical views, but why n man could per-
petratc such n fearful SANDER on Il pCO-
pie among whom he had lived, and
ut whose hands he had at least
received respectable treatment he
could not understand. He Davis
passed about at will goes from one
part Of the state TO another without u
guard, and is not mnlestcd. For such
II man TO devunnce the people of Texas
IN the name he did, representing
them 10 be ms ruthless ms Indians on
the border, was perlldious, and only
could have cmnnated from II black, bad
and viilainous heart. ! claim to know
the people of Texas fully us well as
DAYS does, and ] know the character
OF their oiienscs. | shall not attempt
TO deny that acts Of violence have been
committed, but il we estimate the
number of the population by the num-
Der OF %ollenses, they are no more than
have TRANSFERRED in Massachusetts, or
other model northern states. They are
not even rs numerous, although their
character may he different, which is
attributable to the custom of carrying
concealed Weapons here, a practice to
be rcprobated and frowned down
| Davis statement about political
murders was false in every particular,
with the exception of IL oflense-
tibet Of the whipping of Washburne
and his assistant, 10y masked men in
Guadalupe county. know of not n
single oiiense for political causes, with
in the past twelve months. The men
that committed this otitnse should be
punished to the full extent of the law,
and | trust Governor Coke will see
to it.
The truth Is, that n. J. Davis has
V~iliainously misrepresented the people
If Texas. His letter was the emana-
ton of a vile heart. 1t vas prepared
us n campaign document, to carry cleo
tons and to Civ the republican party
II preteXt to overthrow the state gov
crnmentS ut the south, under the stig-
ma that they do not afford protection
to certain classes and fail to carry out
the laws Of congress, and, forsOoth,
that he may again become n ruler in
the land of Israel.
lfthc people of the north could he
brought into contact with the people
OF the south it would be n great bless
ing. If they could but know the re
cord of Davis, they would feel only
contempt and scorn for him. His on
~ purpose in this letter was to impose
upon the public mind. 1t will lie used
everywhere to our dctriment, in the
beliefthat through such distorcd medi-
ums, the republican party will be justi-
fled in thrOttling Il home govern
mcnts and in passing other laws to
give them additional power.
When a man, because he is an OK
governor, assumes to speak authorize
lively concerning the state of affairs In
Texas, and in doing so presumes that
his word is entitled to preference at
the tribunal of public opinion, he is
not worthy of respect morally, socially
or politically, and the case is aggra-
waited when truth is distorted i'll his
Efforts 10 attain his own grand aim.
The election IL nea at hand, and !
urge voters to beware of any man who
takes an undue advantage under the
profession of running ms an independ-
ent candidate. Al the last moment
there may be an attempt on The part of
some man to place himself before the
people. Vote IN accordance with your
own best Judgment, as this will neces"
state n thorough and studious interest
in the questions Mt issue.
CoLUMEUS, October l5.-Sutlicient
returns have been received to show
beyond Il doubt that the state has gone
democratic by from seven to ten thous-

the twelfth Southland, in the thir-
tenth Cowan, in the fourteenth
Payne, in the twentieth, and probable
