the question is settled and settled in the
Southern sense That secession is an inalien-
able right, and that in 1861 1t was entirely
just and proper, seems TO him beyond dispute
Mr.. DAVIS makes no prctense of acquies-
ing in the result You agreed to re-
turn to the Union" he says, "and abide by
the constitution, and the laws made in con-
formlty with it. Thus far, and no farther,
do understand your promise 10 ertend."
And then he goes on to argue that the pres
ent laws of the United States are not in har-
mony with the constitution; that the consti-
tutIon has been overthrown; and a tyranny
has been set up in its place. lie does not
| draw the obvious conclusion, but his hearers
can have had no difficulty in reaching it with
out his further aid. The point of the whole
speech is that the promise to abide in the
Union is no longer binding. and that the
South, unless it shall succC ed in restoring the
old Southern doctrine of State sovereignty in
its fullest extent, will have perfect right to
rebel again. lie bitterly laAents all the
changes OF the past thirteen years, As a
course of evils deriving their origin from the
limitation of the area Of slavery, and he has
no hope except in restoration of the gov
ernment To the principles and practices OF the
earlier period
Let it not be said that Mr.. Davis is man
of the past. The report states that his ad-
dress was much applauded, and we know
that be is now, as he alaays has been, the
spokesman of large and powerful section
of tip democratic party. Whatever dislike
and dread the Northern democrats once en-
tertained for him has disappeared. The op-
position to his policy in the South is forgot
ten with the change of circumstances and
the personal anlmosities of which he was the
object during and just after the war have
been softened if not obliterated by the n6u-
cnce of time and the sympathy which springs
up among those who have losses together.
Mr.. DAVIS is too old a man ever again to be
an active leader IN politics but it is only
his age which debars him. he is quite in
harmony with his party. 'Tis strange
spectacle indeed when the author of 50 much
misery, the chief of criminal and desperate
rebellion which cost America countless lives,
and uninaginable sufierings. and complicated
msfortunes from which We are far from hav
ing recovered, stands forth to upbraid the
country he tried to ruin, to charge upon it
the very evils which came from his own guilty
deeds, to cry "iraud and 'usurpation,"
to protest against "bondholders," and taxes"
and "class legislation" and high salaries,
and to insist in the very words of Mr.. Tllden
that "wrong shall not be condoned." Strang-
est thing OF all, when Mr.. jefferson DAVIS
reappears in politics, we find him talking 50
exactly like a Northern democrat of the
XLVth Congress that we should hardly be
surprised To lind his speech smuggled into the
Congressional Record and circulated as a
camIaign document under the frank of Mr.

SPEECH BY JEFFERSON DAVIS.

MISSISSIPPI CITY, July IL. The following is a
synopsis OF an address delivered by Jefferson Da
Wis on Wednesday on the presentation to him of a
gold badge and certificate of membership of the
A'sociat ION OF the Army of the Tennessee. Col.
James Lingan made the presentation address.
Mr. Davis, after expressing gratitude for the
kindness and honor conferred, recapitula,ed the
events Of the war and the hardships endured. He
said the question Of the State right Of sece sson in
1861 was at least debstable, but the course pur.

The Old Leader.

Mr.. Jefferson Davis made political speech
IN Mississippi which might have been made
on the Fourth Of July in Tammauy Hall, so
closely does it resemble the sort of eloauence
with which the Northern democrat is in the
habit Of celebrating the national anniversary
There can be no reasonable objection to the
meetings of Southern soldiers to celebrate
gallant deeds, done, it is true, in a mistaken
cause, yet iilustrious for examples of personal
bravery, ability, and self sacrifice but when
the ex-chief OF the rebellion undertakes to
direct the political course of the govern
ment to whose clemency he owes his life, the
country rises with indignant astonishment.
Mr.. Davis tells his hearers that the course Of
the Federal government since the war vindi.
Gates the judment of those who advised Sc.
cession in 1860 and 1861. proves that the
lost cause was the right cause. "Ihe oues.

Ii the greenbackers would give a candid
history of legal tenders, they would be
obliged to say that the banks of the country
favored giving the notes of the government
the tender quality, at the time the mat ter
was first discussed, and it was largely due to
their influence that the notes We're made legal
tenders. Mr.. Fessenden stated In the Senate,
In Feb. 1868, that unless the notes were made
legal tenders the banks would not take them,
and though he was not himself IN favor OF
giving them that quality, tie position of the
banks was one of the principal reasons which
compelled him against hls own Judgment to
support the legal tender bill. 1t is also an
historical fact that the national banking sys-
TEN was opposed BY the banks Of the country
at its introduction, and such as adop.ed it did
90 with reluctance and under compulson.
When the gieenbackers are denouncing
money changers and banks, they ought to
know that the banks were original supporters
Of greenbackers and kicked very hard against
enlisting under the national banking system.

The Dominion of Canada is generally cred
tied with being country in which the rights
Of individuals are respected and maintained.
In the time of the riots in our country last
year, there were many remarks made derog-
atory TO government here as compared with
that in Canada and Great Britain But we
think there can hardly be an instance found
in our land in which the rights of body OF
men were so ignored and trampled under foot
as In the case OF the Orangemen at Montreal
on the 18th. When the Catholics undertook
to prevent the parade of Orangemen in New
York, several years ago, the authorities took
the matter in hand, restrained the mob, and
defended and maintained by force, the
right Of the Orange procession to march
through the streets Of the city. In Montreal,
however, the authorities took the side of the
mob, and led in suppressing by violence the
march Of the Orangemen. We have no SYM
pathy with the demonstrations that Orange
men deem it their privilege and right to
make on the anniversary of the day and
events from which their order dates it's origin ;
believe them unnecessary and unwise bur il
they insist upon paradng in an orderly manner
their right TO do so would be maintained in
this country, though the streets ran with
blood. The spectacle of city like Montreal
turning itself into mob to prevent few
orangemen parading its streets, is one thai
Americans on this side of the line observ,
with wonder, pity and regret, if not witt
contempt and indignation. The suppression
OF the parade in the manner it was done ha,
produced hundred times mere harm thai
all the mischief which the Orangemen coulc
have effected had they been allowed the larg
est liberty in parading the city.

GreaI Excitement.

The peaceful citizens of that part of
Wheeling known as the independent re-

turbed in their slumber about two o'clock
yesterday morning, by series OF most
unearthly yels, thought by some to re-
semble that made by Il hyena or some
other wild animal. That something
must be done in the matter seemed to be
the opinion OF both Democrats and Re
publiCans, OF whom many had by this
time made ready to beard the monster In
his den, but the want of suitable leader
was most severely felt. After consider
able argument, some one suggested that
Officer Thompson be sent for, and mess
enger WAS hastily dispatched for him
Although wGarled with the lGbors OF

responded to the calls OF his fellow clti-
zens, and, without unnecessary delay,
placed himself, revolver in hand, AZ
