What difference is there between the
doctrine as expounded by Mr.. Davis and
the doctrine. MS expounded by Mr.. Adams
It would seem that Mr.. Adams rcceded
from this doctrine in 1860, while Mr.
Davis adhered to1t. But what had been
done from 1857 until that time to change
the doctrine? Why was not this doc
trine, which Mr.. Adams confesses was
practically universal from 1857 to 1895,
also good doctrine in 1860? We have no
Intention or disposition to go intoN any
discussion of the subject, but in fairness
to Mr.. Davis we ask why he was de-
nounccd as a traitor because he adhered
to the established doctrine of state SOW
ereignty, and why Mr.. Adams is lauded
as a patriot for repudiating 1t?
Secession is now a dead issue and Stale
sovereignty s almost effete. But they
were living Issues In 1860, and tho men
OF the South who stood for them and
fought for them need no defence. They
were within their rights. They are to be
llonored for the course they took They
are honorcd the world over, and the name
of Jefferson Davis occupies prominent
place upon the roll of honor.

The correspondents tell us that fourteen
applications for his place were filed be-
fore his death, by aspirants for consular
honors, who had learned of his critical
illness. Some of these ante-mortein ap-
plicants presented strong testimonials.
