Henderson will not again meet Brown up
on the stump. The conflict is too unc-

has over him in principle, he is altogether
his superior in intellect. Henderson has

election to the u. s. Senate. Gen. Brown
took occasion after completely flooring
his adversary to expose the treachery and
bad faith of the federal party, in colors
viyed and glowing as it was true. This
was the only part of his speech that bore
any resemblance to the usual rodomon-
tade OF popular decaimers. And this was
distinguished for keen and elegant sar'
casm with occasional bursts Of deep and
imprisoned cloquencc. His adversary
was too completely hon. de combat to at
tempt any rejoindcr. And all parties left
