ernmeDC OF these Reunited States.
Forest (Miss.) Register: We are
glad to know he (Davis) is still true to
the principles which carried eleven
States into the war in 1875. Elev-
en-twelfths of the South indorse him
besides a vast following in the West.
Although the secession of '6l, under
the subsequent leadership of the dis
i tinguishe ed statesman and soldier nam
ed is at an end, it by no means fol-
lows that no one else will ever urge
the correctness of its principles in .fu-

Corintb Miss. COriRthian: What
ex- President Davis said at Mississippi
| City, recently, We indorse heartily.
Southern principles aud Southern
feelings are by no means dead, and it
is about time for the skulking cloak
of policy TO be cast asipe, and for the
honest manhood and true chlvalry OF
the South to come to the front, and
! proclaim their fidelity to the Lost
/ Cause. A few more such Grand Old
Patriots like Mr. Davis, and it will
not be long before the glorious South
of ante -BeLtuDa days will be restored.
| We say, "Hurrah for Davis !" and de-
fly the North to make the most of it.
Give us ten years TO get ready IN, and
then-we don't give snap whether
her school keeps or not.
The Holly Springs (Miss.) Report
er: The Herald speaks of the new
SOUTH" the young South" We
suppose it means by this the South as
represented by Lamar, Key, and that
class of statesmen. There is no new
South" or young South !" The
craftsmanship, valor, patriotism and
virtue as handed down to US by the
fathers of the old South is what we
admire, venerate, and love. The
Herald and its young South" or
new South" can't replace these. 1t
may heap imprecations upon the head
of Jefferson Davis, and extol Senator
Lamar to the skies, but in our judg-
ment the former is more in accord
with the people OF Mississippi than
the latter, the Herald to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Port Gibson Miss ReUeiLEe: jeff
erson Davis was formally arraigned,
and true bill of indictment found
against him for high treason. Why
was he not tried ? At each recurring
term of the court Charles O'Conor,
counsel for Mr.. Davis, announced to
the court his readiness for the trial of
prisoner Davis" 1t was a case of
such magnitude that a bond of $780,
600 was required. Why was he not
fri Il nd Ial, hxI
trial would necessarily have involved
and dsteFmined 1.-The right of seces-
sioD," and it is known to those in
high authority and public favor that
Chief Justice Chase stated that rather
than hazard a decision upon that point
he would avoid the trial, and the pris-
oner might go.
Bah! An unqualified lie! Chief
Justice Chase never made such
statement; but even such a lie has
it's purpose in firing the Southern
heart-in inspiring the Rebel yelIn'
The Democratic press of the other
Confederate States, like the New Or
leans Daily Democrat add their shrek
to the general yell. 1t says:
Destroy the doctrine of secession,
and we still have the right of revoIu-
tion deny that and you deny the |
right of the people to resist usurpa-
ton, tyranny, or fraud-you legitima-
tize despotism.
And the NorthernNCopperhead press
the old seditious allies of the Confed-
crate traitors. as truculent and dis
loyal as before the war. servilely catch
up the refrain, and add their traitor
Gus shout TO the yell of their rebel
masters. The Ottumwa (Iowa) Dem
Ocrat says:
There is now a partial strengthen
ing of the State sovereignty or home
rule system, caused by the Democrat
ic majority in Congress but the great
struggle for supremacy between the
two opposing ideas will take place in
1880, with Grant as the champion of
the HamiltOnian or Capitalization
system, and the opposing idea, if it
has champion at all, must be repre-
sented by the candidate of the Democ-
racy.
The New York Day Book quotes,
approvingly. Jeff's reasonable doc
trines. Itsays:
Mr.. Davis says secession was at
least debatable question In 1861, but
now, with the principles of the Re-
publican party carried out, and the
ruin and desolation of ,
the South, what Southern man can
question the wisdom and absolute ne
cessity of the secession movement?
Phas all along the Democratic line,
rom Maine to Louisiana, and from the
Pacific TO the Atlantic. Is again heard
