MISS BRowN's LECTURE ON SLAvERY.-We
publish to-day the lecture Of the Reverend Miss
Antoinette L. Brown on the slavery question,
delivered at the Tabernacle the other evening
Miss Brown is . leader among the womeo's
rights women, and preacher Of the Gospel
somewhere in that spsrsely settled country, Of
which Cert Smith Is the PATRON. And this
callinx her away from her parochial duties in
the interior down to New York to lecture on
slavery shows that the mighty men Of the
cause are backing out, and the Abolition So.
ciety here has been compelled to fall back
upon their reserves among the Boomers.
Neither Hale, nor Seward, nor Sumner,
nor Chase have been forthcoming. They are
evidently frightened at the terrible doings of
the Know Nothings, especially in Msssschu-
sets. Giddings, Of all the batch, has proved
himself man Of pluck. He sees that the anti
slavery societies are in danger of being anni
hilated by the Know Nothings, and that unless
something Is done to keep up the agitation
these Northern abolition cliques and coteries
will soon re laid upon the same shelf with the
fossil remains Of the old wing and democratic
parties and the administration. So Giddings
has fred ay. right and left, in Congress, the
first chance, aud in the absence Of other men Of
pluck to support him, the courageous advocate
Of woman's rights, entitled to all the rights OF
woman, the dignifed and handsome Bloomer,
the angelic and Reverend Antoinette L. Brown.
still rejoicing in single blessedness," comes
to the rescue Of Giddings. It is pity that 50
fine person as this feminine divine should be
led 80 far astrsy by the jack o'lsntern of abo-
liti0nism. Pity that some dashing cavalier of
a Southern STAKEHOLDER will not undertake to
change her views upon this subject. Who
knows bat that che might be made IS amiable
and rational on the slavery question as John
Mitchell in view Of an " Alabama cotton plan
tatioD, we'll stocked with good fat negroes ?"
