Recently Col. J. B. Daniorth, edi
tor of the Rock Islander, Rock Is
land Illinois, addressed prominent
Southern Statesmen, inviting on ex
pansion of political opinion. The
following is Mr. Davis' response:

gratilied by the receipt of your let
ter a a token of your remembrance
of me when in former and in hap
pier days W3 were olllcially connect
ed with each other.
I was also gratified by the receipt
of a copy of your paper, the Rock
Islander.
It so happened that, at the time, a
Iocalftndidato JM o1'"" "f u
me, i the coii fixation turned up
on ''tlij-litrK -honored doctrine of
8tateiighte. Like many others in
our section, he supposed this to be a
creed which peculiarly belonged to
the South. I, who have knoivu and
am happy to remember men of every
section true to the theory of a Un
ion voluntarily formed by sovereign
States, endeavored to explain that it
was not a Southern idea, but a his
totical fact; that it belonged to no
section, but sprang iroin the brain
of the men who declared ot the in
dependence of the Colonies and form
ed the compact for a more perfect
Union of the States. To prove my
misitinn I read to him vour article
headed "What is Meant by State
Rights?" and was pleased to 6ee the
eflect which it produced when he
knew that it came from the State of
Illinois, and high up on the Missis
sippi river.

clearly than another, the 1'ramer of

When the VStatoe delegate ! cer-

The Tonfederaiion, winch naa

to enter into it. Being without any

of the General oovernmeni, mm
those which the Slates ana ttu peo
ple thereof would continue to exer
cise. This was to secure liberty to
their posterity, not to elevate a new
master to the inrone irom wm.
George the Third had been depos
ed. In the many years that have pass
ed since the formation of that Con
stitution, with the many duet fliag
istrates the South has given to the
Union, it seems strange that, in this
day, belief in the doctrine on which
the Union was founded, and which
was uniformly avowed by the men
who illuf-trated its early hietory,
should now be regarded as hostility
to its existence, and that the creed
of States RighU should be held as
th ernonvin ot a tesire

Jtis su'elv little less than a frati l

South of her right to protection un

a declaration on her part of a desire
to eecede from the Union. Any

When Gen. Davie was Secretary
of War, h President Pierce's Cabi
net, the editor or the Rock Islander
was appoiutcd to the ehatge of tha
military reservation known as Fort
Armstrong, where Ruck Island Ar
senal is now located, and it was
through oliicial reports made by
him, of the attempt of Lindsley,
Urackett, Langtey, Conway and oili

Gen. Davis then made a .masterly le
gal argument before the United
States Laud Commissioner, clearly
and conclusively showing the rigni
ot the United Slates to the land, mid
that it was not and never haJ oeen
under control ot the land depart
ment and was not subject to pre
einption or entry. It was that argu
ment of Gen. Davis which saved the
Island from becoming private prop
erty and reserved it for the greatest
armory and arsenal in the United
States. Gen. Davis had been Ra
tioned here in his youth, when he
was a Lieutenant in the regular
United Slates Army, and he always
held that it was the best place in
the United Statf.s for the purposes
i,, which it is now devoted. Alter
