Now, it will be seen that in this extract, I do not state that Mr. Davis did vote at the last Session of Congress to repeal the Biule, 'nor do I state any particular session when he did so vote. But I charge that he did so vote, and that the people of Fayette have only to look at the last Journals of Congress to see that they have lost the 2lst Rule, by and through the vote of their representative. I state that he is seen in the wake of Mr. Adams, following him in his war upon negro slavery. And that he has assisted Mr. Adams to break down that barrier between the slaveholder and the people. I do not say, when he is seen following in Adams' wake - when he voted, nor when he assisted Mr. To break down the 2ist Rule - but I do say, that he did vote to destroy the Rule that he followed in the wake of Mr. Adams and as sistedhim to destroy the Rule - that the Rule is repealed, and that the the people of Fayette have only to look at the Journals of the last Con: gress to see that they have lost the Rule, by and through the vote of their representative. Every reader of newspapers knows that Adams' war upon the Rule had been of several years' duration, even from its date un til its final destruction. And, of course, when I said Mr. Davis had fol lowed in his wake in his war on the Rule, and had assisted him to destroy it-that I referred to his (adams') entire movement, and his (davis') en tire assistance in that movement. But he and his press, instead of con themselves' to the charge as made, must manufacture a statement for me, making me say - that Davis voted to repeal the Rule last session,0' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
