jefferson Davis Or the Ameri-
cans.

Jefferson Davis began his speech at
Fulton, Mo. on Saturday week, with
these words: 81 would that it were
possible for ire To say 10 you any
thing as acceptable To YOU as that once
familiar shout | heard this morning
was to me, that ring of the America"
voice which. of Whatever section, OF
whatever political party 1t Is, enough b
to strike terror into the heart Of any
body except an American. For yours
is the glory to be people who have
run over those that others cOuli not
conquer. You marched. li'tlc band
to the city Of Mexico. aud not all the
power of the great military govern
meut of France could reach that
city triumphant. Thus it was that
you carried on with each Othera strug-
Gle which, when foreign nations came
to an equal conflict, lasted for months.
While yours endured for years. Un~
drrstand me, then, [ speak TO you as
Americans. I lift myself out Of
whatever there is Of sectional or party
prejudice, and l bail you all as breth>
rem.

ask perusal uf the remarks OF Maj. jed.

oar thir page. Oar report is necessarily I'M
perfect in consequence of tie length OF the
speech. hut it contains msay plain, common
sense reasons why VIC should make Stanton one
Of the most prosperous manufacturing centres

defy ressaation, to show that it lies within our
reach IS stssnee to the very front OF COM
mercial importance. These remarks are based
upon observations recently made by Maj.
IIotchkiss whilst in Europe, and embrace sta
tistical facts which stand on record. We wish
that every citizen OF the town and county had
been present at the meeting, as we cannot do
the speaker justice in the brief space to which
we are confined.
No one, who has the interest of community
at heart, after carefully reading these articles,
can fail to be impressed ssit, the necessity Of
at once taking steps for the utilization OF those
great elements of prosperity that SO completely
surround us. We are eneircIed by vast chain
Of wealth, and the formula for ifs reduction to
dollars and cents is found in the concluding
clause OF the speech. We must help ourselves.
Too long, already, have we waited for assis-
lance from this, that and the other source, and
the question is now presented for final decision,
whether or not we will accept this muniheent
legacy Of nature. or allow strangers to wrest in
from our very grasp. The vast mineral depos-
its Of this section are now we'll known, and
will not be permitted to lie dormant much lon
ger. But we will never reap any advantages
from their development, unless we put our
own shoulders to the wheel, and by individual
mination to utilize tire resources, which lie
within our reach and open the avenues for for
eign capital, which. of necessity, will pour ir
upon us.
Not only does our prosperity as communi-
ty depend upon immediate action, but thu
honor and fair fame OF the State, in no small
degree, rest upon the exertions to be made TO-
