seems to have made deep impression on
the public mind, and added greatly to the
number of his admirers, No public man,

produced such sensation. All crowd to

the people the superior deserts and quail

GRENADA, AUGUST, %, 1889.
Dr.. SIR
To-day the great champion of demo
crazy, Brown of Copiah) addressed III
citizens of Grenada in a speech of abol
two hours. The greater part of his speec
was consumed in abusing the Banks, pal
ticularly the late Uni'ed States Bank, an
eulogisng Gen. Jackson and Martin Va
Buren,. In his attack on the United State
Bank, he quoted Thomas Jefferson as at
thority. He referred to Gen. Washingto
and James Madison, having sanctioned
and Judge Marshal's opinion in favor {
its constitutionality; bat he said Washing
ton, Madison and Marshal, were but mel
who had their opinion, which he did Nc
think should be guide for any one; an
in the very next sentence quoted Jefferso
as his authority against the Bank. II
represented Gen. Jackson as pure as a
angel from heaven, and whose name woul
be placed above Washington's on tn
highest pinnacle offame.
Gen. Brown is quite on the dandy orde
and his efforts to persuade the honest plar
tiers, that he is the friend of the workin
class, makes himself appear quite ridicl
lous. After he had ended his harangu
Mr.. Cutler, young lawyer of this place
rose and replied to the General in yer
happy style, which called forth a rejoinde
from the General, In which he only a
f tempted to ridicule Mr.. Cutler. After til
f General concluded his reloinder, Mr.. Gu
Ter replied in a very sarcastic style, an
dashed the General handsomely. Mr.. {
is very young man but beautiful speak
er, and well versed in politics. Brow
has made nothing by his speech to day
He speaks at every little village in tn
country.
Yours, &c.
