gFessiODal Convention.

New ORLEANS, La, August lS.-The
Democratic Congressional Convention
Of the Sixth Mississippi District met
today at Mississippi City, Jefferson
Davis was welcomed with loud sp.
plause. The privileges of the floor
were extended to him. In response
to GALE, Mr.. Davis addressed the con-
vention. He said that as a Mississip-
plan, at least, he could address the
convention. He advertel to the
great Importance Of the duties
OF q Congressman and the
danger always to be spprehended that
the position would be prostituted TO
personal ends. The time was when
that fear would have been unr ason-
able. Is it 50 now? he asked. He
trusted that the convention would
choose a man who would be found
proof against corruption. In the old
days this district ard the whole Stats
we're represented by statesmen Of
renown. Touching the question Of
President C.eve.and's appointments,
Mr.. Davis said that the President was
q man entirely new to national poll
tics; therefore, ne could not be- ex-
pected to escape OCCASIONAL mistakes.
L..
Mr. Davis said the Southern
Democrats should be congra'u-
lated upon havipg educated their
elaves up 10 a grade OF citizenship 30
hilh that the Republicans thought
them fit to exercise the right of civili-
zation, The charge that the white
people of the South abused their SUI
perior strength to oppress the blacks
he denounced as calumnious. He
trusted that Mississipplaps would
never stoop so low rs TO take an unfair
advantage of the ignorant.
