| I've been enjoying some rioh and
raoy reading-the reply of Horace
Greedy to the committee who sum
moned him to trial for signing the
bail bond of jefferson Davis that re-
leased him from prison. There were
twentyone who signed it, but Gree

Tor that purpose, and it raised howl

The Northern extremists demanded
that Mr.. Davis be tried and hung

OF Lincoln, or for something or any

ionged to the Union League Club of
New York, 8 powerful organization,
and they weressoatraged and euraged
at his signing that bond and cited
him for trial. His reply is a long
one and some parts of it ere most
delightful sarcasm.

like planting colony on an iceberg

Well, they did not expel him nor
censure him. They we're afraid. The
pamphlet to which have heretofore
alluded is now ready. 1t contains
Henry r. Jackson's great speech on
the "Wanderer " and Daniel Web
ster's speech at Caron Springs, Va,
the last and greatest he ever made.
There is also a brief biography of
General jackson by Joe M Brown
and few remarks by myself. There
is enough in this little pamphlet to
establish the faith and stimulate the
pride OF every Southern man. Ac.
cording to Jackson, the South was
not responsible for slavery, and &C.
cording to Webster we were justified
in seeding. And 80 the Northern
saints were in the wrong for violating
the constitution and precipitating
that most unrighteous war, and
ought to make apology and restitu
tion to us. They owe to our people
millions and billions Of dollars. They
owe to me right now $4,000 dam,
ages, and if Roosevelt don't retract
and apologize, think I will attach
his trunks and his bear guns when he
comes in reach. He did not do the
stealing, but he is an accessory after
the fact, and that is is just as bad.
Now, l have no interest in the sale
Of that pamphlet, but l want every
young man and woman to have one.
The price is only 25 cents, post paid.
