MONDAY MORNING, OCT. 4.
Av Brown, Abuse Of the American Party.

The Union and american of Thursday morn
ing contains a long and labored and specious
attempt to screen ex-Gov. A. V. Brown from
tn. wel-earned indignation of large majority
of his felIow-citizens III Tennessee and through
out the country, on account of his fragrant and
pnfounded attacks upon the members Of the
American party-men equally with himself, at
least, in his palmiest days, entitled to respect
and confidence. The Union and american is
entitled to the public sympathies in this ardu-
Gus labor of love- for the inevitable conclusion
must be that it is "love's labor lost" The de-
fender of the High Priest essays in the first
place to paliate his offense by attempting to
show shat the Oery first Drong was done by
the Know Nothings themselves against Gov.
Brown" With man of the pretensions and
position of the Ex-Governor, even if this posi-
ton could be made good, it ought to be poor
excuse to justify all that he has said in his
speeches and letters, abusive of the American
party Unfortunately. The first wrong"
never justifes the second, even when that
wrong is clearly established, which is not the
case in this instance. The Union says:
The True Wing knows that Gov. Brown did not
omen his mouth in this canvass until he ascertained
by letters to him and his friends, that the Know
Nothings In almost every part of the State were
irving TO get Democrats to join the order by report
ing that LIE, Gov. Brown, belonged to it, and was
one of its most active and jealous members.
We submit that the "True Wing knows"
no such thing Gov. Brown came out in the
canvass, we believe, upon such pretence, as
did the President of the Bank Of Tennessee,
Hon. Gave johnson, and some others perhaps.
It was asserted that know Nothings were
trying to get Democrats to join the order by
reporting" that these gentleman were members
of il. But that was a common and well IN
derstood Sag NIGHT trick, in vogue in other
States, long before Brown or johnson came
out. and it operated very successfully TO draw
men actively into the canvass, who would not
otherwise have participated in il, and to pro
duce an impression against the American party.
We never heard the least suspicion breathed
that either of the gentlemen named were
members of the American party; and though
such statements might have been made by
some irresponsible person, the idea of holding
the American party responsible for them, and
saying that the True Wing knew of them, is
absurd, and is a miserable and totally made
quate justification for the course pursued by
A. V. Brown. Where was the necessity, when
correcting an erroneous rumor, if such ru-
NOR was sufficiently current to require con-
tradictioo, for Gov. Brown to turn out such
wholesale abuse and misrel presentation Of the
American party3
