cided effect. 1t of his best and
ablest, covering the whole ground, as far as 1t
is practicable to do so in single speech. 1t
was eogent at all points, and unansw cradle as
to the positions taken. Democrats were arous-
cd aud inspirited by it, and made more than
ever determined to win. He drew a vivid por-
tralture of the great Democratic party, which
carried tn election of 1876 Though defrauded
of the fruits of their victory now being be-
ing deserted by a squad, powerless in itself
for good, and only able aid the Republi-
cans to regain their power in Mississippi. He
appealed TO them as friends and brothers and
patriots to come back, rather than, in an cleo
ton for county Offices to give encouragement
and prestige to the common enemy. We think
his call to his old and numerous friends who
who know well his personal worth and stead
fast integrity and sound judgement, has not
been made wholly III vain. Gen. FeatherstOn
for his never falterinR fidelity deserves much
from his party and his country.

cy, the grand old party as the ark of safety
for our common country.
