Mr.. Potter was evidently unable 70 persuade
himself that a discussion Of the cipher kilograms

com. tutc, The greatness and glory Of the Repnolc.
Mr.. DAVIS has uttered good many woris-se'eta
na,vsnnuer columns of thenl-Wboh are inconsstcu'
with Northern ideas of that greatness and glory
Last Foirth OF July be made speech In MsSl~
,,ni which was an elaborate defence Of Secess'on'
He ,,Id then that the question Of State Rights o.
Secession IN 1861, was at least debatabe;' ana
went on to show that II had since been settled IN
the Southern sense. Addressing an audience when
cbeered hin, wildly he said: "You agreed 10 return
In the I'uop and anide by the Constitution ana mo
laws made in conformity with IT, mus lar ana ~
further do understand your promise 60 eNtend
Following up this idea, he went on Ia argue iHAe
tbe preSrnt laws were not IN harmony win tho
CONSTITUTION: bitterly denOunciDg the changes
made during the past thirteen years. ana declaring
that there was no hope except ~ restoration ot
the Government 10 the principles ana practices "a
tbe eurlipr DeT1od' The point Ot the whole specch
was that the promise remain IN the Union was 10
longer binding, and that the South, unless ~ can
succeed in restoring the old doctrine OF Sl"o
sovereignty in its fullest extent Will have perfect
ri,,bt t0 rebel again. This is the man whom tho
