Where 4. The difference

Not long ago the Washington ScHiiHci pitched int"
VIM. j. Brown without mercy. II called him all
kind of hard names in showing mp his " Initmy,
and even ventured Ear to give the Adminstra-
ton severe thrust for appointing this notorious gen
temen to lone of the influential and important
posts under the Government" Poor Brownies been
q standing subject of abuse since the winter OF l.
80 with large portion Of his Democratic brethrer,
particularly in the South. Not after he has
been reinstated in full communion with the "iaiths
full" Of the Democratic church, by the President
ferring upon him "one of the most influential and
important posts under the Government " will
many of them forgive Brown his SINS say ought
by way ofapyogy for the repentant transgressor.-
They have to swallow his appointment but it is only
because they cannot help themselves The pill was
bitter one, and they had rather talk about any thing
else than the operation they had to 20 through in
gulping it down. But let all tha, 60 We are not
dsp posed to revive unpleasant incidents with our De
mocrStc friends any mare than hel9, but it S
sometimes necessary to do We are no apolosiSt>
for Mr. VIM. j. Brown, gracious knows for hay,
given him the benefit of blessings upon SundIy
occasions, aud may have occasion to beS,ow them
upon him frequently yet But think they me
rather too hard on their Democratic brother. What

Committees of Congress hc would take care to attend
to his Free Soil frends-tha; that wing of the party
should come in for a handsome share OF the e:nolu>
mens of office, or, in other words lac would do what
our Democratic friends urged was treason to the
SIuth'-"selling the South Now, that would al.
sound very pIettly aid chime in quite nicely with the
boosted guardianship of Southern Democracy the
peculiar institution OF the South, bI; il sound,
very baly when con;raStei with the position IN
which they stani towards Gen. Pe-ce's AI.niuiStra-
ton. The avoNci policy Of that Administration i.
to divide the spolS with the Free Sellers. Some d

those gentry the lions share and refused give ih
Any thing though they claim 70 he the simon Iur
National Democrats. Yet the party the South ar,
unbounded in their fulsome laulItionS Ut the Prcs
dents course, and cry out glorious policy fJr harmu
nizing the great Democracy Now we should Ike Il
know how it is that ii was such an infamous crime il
Mr. VIM j. Brown to agree TO share the petty emol
nments Of the SpeakcrShp with the Free SoirrS pro
vided he elected, and not Il mater Of condenna
ton in Gen. Pierce for actually bcStowins the power
and patronage of the Government upon Free S)ers
If il was treason to the South -"seny tn SOUTH
on the part of WIN. D. Brown, that called forth ia,
viruous dignaton OF the Sou thern Democrats and
consigned poor Brown to ''inlau!y,' why is it tia;
they have not word to say against the trelsoi
to the South perpctrattd with impunity by Franklin
Pierce: We hope they will enlighten the public on
this point-tel them the difference between villa,
WIN. j. Brown would have done and what the PREF
dent is doing and how it is they condemn the
and not the other Until they do so, we bcspeal
quarters from their party for the condemned Brown
and suggest them that it would be best to keep
shady as possible abou. the whole matter la short
to look at home first
