ChArles, which is a Republican town. the
demonstration was very enthusiast c, but at
Montgomery City a1d Mexico it was par
ucularly so. AT the former place there was
! not less than eight hundred persons on the
platform, and at the latter over twelve nun
dred' who literally took possession Of the
HERO OF AN OVATION
such as have never be. ore witnessed. Mr.
DAVIS made short speech at both places. Al
Mexico he reminded his hearers orthe Mex
leo where American soldiers had achieved
such world-renoWned victories, and compll-
mented the beautiful women and brave men
who had honored him with their presence,
many OF them travelling as far as MY miles
to greet him. The ovation at Montgomery
City was almost as grstify ing ss tnat at Mex-
leo, and when we arrived at Fulton. under
escort Of the committee of the Agricultural
society, who had travelled with us from ST
Louis, IL really seemed as If the whole populs-
tlon OF the town had assembled 10 do honor

editor OF the Fulton; Telegraph SAYS: "Tr !
Davis Will be welcomed gladly NOT only NV |
what IS termed the southern element but by

TO bury the past, and use their infiueu ce 10 |
oDIterate The remaining traces of dlscord |

believe that Mr.. Davis sincerely desires to pro-

editor of the Columbia Herald saws: "AII in
In all, Mr.. Davis is oneof
TIE MOST REMARKABLE MEN
OF his time, and his visit to Missouri will
probably draw bigger crowds, and create
greater enthusiasm than any public man who
mas ever visited our State" These extracts

great success. 1t is q movement that meets !
