BROWNS LAST CARD.

This delectable and marvellously pro-
per man for the Speakership-the ex-
second assistant Post Master General,
VIM. J. Brown, whose removal called
forth such flood of wrath and indigna-
ton from the Loco press from Maine TO
Texas, has published another-his last
card, which puts seal to his infamy.-
This is the recreant trickster whose name
was heralded throughout all Locofocodom
as the sfirst Martyr and many and bitter
were the denunciations heaped upon the
head of the veteran hero, who had dared
transfer the station he disgraced to one as
far above him as are the Heavens above
the earth. He it was, in connection
with his worthy. compatriots, Burke and
Foote, who issued the famous manifesto
to the loyal of the party during the late
canvass, requesting to be specially inform
ed of the grounds upon which tie Wings
should wage the contest in different parts
of the country. "Should the Wings at
the North" said this Zebra trio, ''fratern-
ize with the abolitionists, the fact should
be exposed at the South. A proper man
truly, to protect the interests and institu-
tions of the South. This is the Brown
whom the editor of the Onion endorsed
as eminently qualified for the Speaker S
chair, and hailed as the favorite can
didate of the "Republican Party" and
this too. after a "full and free conversation
with him only the day before he came
| within two votes of an election. He it

Va, in the House, whether a correspon-
dence had taken place between himself
and the Free Solers, "ShOok his heat
who told MIR. McMulen that "no such
correspondence had taken place" which
he knew was falsehood, and was so
proven to him, and to the whole country.
This double faced hypocrite; this notori-
Gus brawler and demagogue now throws
off the cloak OF hypocrisy and comes
out in a card appealing to the 'Freemen
of the Northern States" for what he terms
iustice-a retri5ution he has more to fear
than desire But read his card, tits prob
ably the last appeal of broken down
trickster.
