During ihe delivery Of his speech, Gen. Brown
was frequently interrupted by paudl's from has
hearers, aud taking his seat, il We are to JndGc
them as demonstrations OF satisfaction, the audience
dispersed well pleased with the general, and what he
said.
NJ Reuben Davis rose 10 reply, but seeing
constitutional majority OF The crowd about 10 leave
the house, he gave nutee that lac would postpone
hi3rcmarhs for alf an hour, At the expiration Of
that lime, abuu, one haii TIE number Of lhose W
hrard Cen Brown returned to hear the "inimHa

that ever was In Nalehcz; he first became wolf l,'
when talking about this libel on his beauty and in
tehigence, but after "w0rkng of steam" IjDle, he
became pathetic, AID came very near shedding tears.
We think with Reuben, so Tar as beauty is concern

small tea party however unnt he may be for the
latitude Of Washington City But 70 his speech!
which put us more in mind OF the Iri>hman's gun
'that ht every thing but what he AIMED at" than
any Thing we have heard lately. lie said he would
answer the arguments advanced by Gen Brown
against the consttutonahy ola u. 5. Bank and in
favor of the sub treasury, but just about that time
his memory became treaChcrouS that tie forgot
to name, much less To answer them, but bianched
of altogether on state politics, as though he was
candidate for the Legislature. lie declared that the
Democrats with Governor McNut at their head
had made waci en- lwcnHytbs il not ALL the banks in
the Slale and that il was awuy,' unjust Ia accuse
a Wing OF having anything 10 do in their creation!
He said he was accused Of having changed ls prn-
cipIss because he had acted with the democrats mp

said it was entirely mistaken notion OF those who
said So it was the Democrats that had changed
! Denounced Van Buren, as an aboioniSt on account
of his couse ou The Missouri question. Declare ed

spoke OF coming money" did not mean stamp

ahuu; the manner IN which the democrats tried To
keep Claiborne and Ghulson in their seats, and be-

on that occasion that they wanted To suhver the b.
critics of the country and when, that day comes

There was such an awful attempt at "tall firing,
and 50 much swapping aud lzzing, that the Wing
