Beauvoir, Mississippi, June 20, 1885. Colonel J. L. Power, Clarian Office.
Dear Sir,—Among the less-informed persons at the North there exists an opinion that the negro slave at the South was a mere chattel, having neither rights nor immunities protected by law or public opinion.
Southern men knew such was not the case, and others desiring to know could readily learn the fact.
lutionary sires, and sacred in the principles they established, let not the children of the United States be taught that our Federal Government is sovereign; that our sires, after having, by a long and bloody war, won community-independence, used the power, not for the end sought, but to transfer their allegiance, and by oath or otherwise bind their posterity to be the subjects of another government, from which they could only free themselves by force of arms.
Respectfully, Jefferson Davis

[General Sherman's friends, in their vain efforts to extricate him from the web of mendacity, which he has woven for himself in his controversy with Mr. Davis, have been the occasion of the publication of a number of the letters of the great Confederate chief.
But they all tend to brand Sherman's slander and make clearer President Davis's position.
The following are worth preserving:]
State of North Carolina, Executive Department, Raleigh, N. C., December 30, 1863. His Excellency, President DPresident Davis:
My dear Sir,—After a careful consideration of all the sources of discontent in North Carolina, I have concluded that it will be perhaps impossible to remove it, except by making some effort pient, as I believe it now to be, or more mature, as I believe, if not firmly met, it will in our future inevitably become.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
(Signed) Jefferson Davis
