for the next four years, is at the present moment especially apropos. Hon. Jeff. Davis, President. Few men have led a life more filled with stirring or eventful incidents than Jefferson Davis. A native of Kentucky, born about 1806, he went in early youth with his father to Mississippi, then a Territory, and was appointed Taylor, who was stationed in the West. In the frontier wars of the time young Davis distinguished himself in so marked a manner that when a new regiment of dragoonorgot his animosity to the people of the United States in his admiration for Lieut. Davis, and not until his death was the bond of amity severed between the two brave Buena Vista. Wherever fire was hottest or danger to be encountered, there Colonel Davis and the Mississippi Rifles were to be found. He was badly wounded in the et information by telegraphic dispatch had been received of the election of Jefferson Davis for President, and Alexander H. Stephens for Vice President of the Provisi

Henry Winter Davis. Probably no speech delivered in the House of Representatives since the commencement of the present lignant and truculent attack upon the South by Henry Winter Davis, the representative of Baltimore. Not one Black Republicanody sentence of that representative Plug-Ugly, Henry Winter Davis. We cannot believe that the city of Baltimore, although it e a slaveholding city, can endorse such a speech as that of Davis. But if she does not endorse him, she cannot too soon clearformed, says that it will be no go; that Lincoln looks upon Davis as an impracticable, who is also objectionable to the Germay would shoot a dog. In our opinion, there was not one of Mr. Davis' four "Plug-Ugly" constituents, who were hung in one day may say with perfect truth, and that is, that Henry Winter Davis is not a representative man of the South in any way or shapathies with a slaveholding community, in which Henry Winter Davis could be elevated to the office of constable.
