One good effect has followed the move
ment to have Jefferson Davis appear bcIore
Northern audience-an appearance os
tensibly for the purpose Of giving his 1t
tons on an agricultural, or some kindred
topic, but for the more hidden object Of
gratifying the old copperhead sentiment
and that is, the bringing forth of the set.
tied views of the people, as regards tho
most heinous features of the rebellion, and
the criminality attaching to the unrepcDt-
ant instigators thereof. All through the
Northwest, wherever 4 good, staunch
Union sentiment prevailed through the
| war-where soldiers were gathered ty
the Thousand, and sent forward to fight
the battles OF our country, in defense Of
its integrity and our honored flag-the in
| vitation to Davis, the arch -traitoT, has been
brandeshas 4 proceeding which, if carried
ont, would be an insult 40 the loyal masses.
The press, TO its honor bc it said, has touch
cd the affair with no fingers of velvet, but,
in remarkably square English, has put the
seal OF condemnation upon this contcIn-
plated transaction. And when we say press,
VIC mean that portion oi il which has been
unvaryingiy consistent in its allegiance 10
our government, and not tickle and Isk-
maelitish in its tendencies, leaving out al
together the old Bourbonic journals of PFC
slavery instincts.
lOtiawa (Kas) Republican,
We regret that our neighbors at Kansas
City have seen fit to extend an invitation
to this man to address their fair. 1t il a
dangerous experiment, and if it does not
decrease the attendance from Kansas, it
it will have at least one bad effect. There
will be rs matter OF course, a large at
tendance of former rebel soldiers from
Missouri on the grounds il they ever had,
or have now any enthusiasm for the arch
traitor, his presence will develop and bring
it out. This cannot but be dis:asteful 10
Union soldiers, and will be looked upon as
an Insult, and will do more to revive old
feelings than any other possible act. 1t is
simply Haunting the leader OF the rebel
lion in the faces Of loyal men, and giving
him encouragement. DO the people Of
Kansas City expect that their Institutions
VII he patronized by kansans under such
a condition OF afIaiTs?

A short time since the managers Of the
Winnebaso county, Illinois Fair, invited
tl,e above named Individual to deliver
lecture at their exhibition. To this the
Dcople very loudly objected. It is now said
that he has been invited to speak at the
Kansas City Industrial Exhibition, and a
great many newspaper editors have their
blood up in consequence. JEFF Davis has
the right to speak wherever he has mind
10, bu, it is certainly in very bad taste for
the managers Of an agricultural fair to ex-
tend an invitation to the ringieadcr Of the
'late unpleasantness" to talk to the people
or the north on any subject, and especially
one that he does not fifty represent 1t il
not to be wondered at that such action pro-
vokes the northern people to the expression
OF angry and vindiciive words.

In no other country in the world save
this, would man be living who has done
what jeff. Davis has done; and before we
presume to honor him, we should rren-
Der that he has never uttered one word of
regret for all the suffering he has caused

under the same circumstances he would
not follow the ssme course lie is disarmed
and helpless nos, bat his will is the same
will that animated him fourteen years ago
the will Of rebel con9ueIed, but Dc
liant.

JEFF. Davis, the petticost hero Of the re-
bellion, has been invited, and will undoubt-
cdiy accept the invitation, to deliver the
opening address before the Kansas City ex-
position. Now ct the same committee in |
vite the frail woman who figured with him
in the disgraceful sleeping car scene, and
the show will be complete. We entertain !
10 unkind feeling towards Southern people, |
but when such strumpets a. Davis are put |
forward TO insult the memory Of our dead
soldiers, ve hope no Kansas man will de-
mean himself 30 Low As to attend their fair.
Il is time Tor such men TO step down and
