v
JONES' GREAT SPEECH AT BROWNS
WILLIE.
The Madisonian. published at Jack
son, Tennessee, gives a full aud glowing
account of the great festival given BY
the citizens, Of Haywood county, at
Brownsville, on the 18th instant, 70 their
distinguished and patriotic Senator, OK
Governor Jones'. The Madisonian says
that this demonstration on the part Of
the democracy Of Haywood was the
most extensive, imposing and enthusiasts
tic Of the canvass" Upwards Of six
thousand persons were on the ground.
including one thousand ladies. OF the
truly mastery speech delivered by ex-
Governor Jones on this peculiarly inter-
csting occasion. the Madisonian says
"After the immense tlirong which sur
rounded the stand had become settled
and quiet, Gov. Jones arose and COM
meneed. From first to last all was
breathless, fixed attention. We have
never seen q crowd on similar occasion
pay such marked and respectful attention.
He seemed to rivet them to their places,
and draw them closer around him. Tho
speech was equal to the best we have
ever heard from Coz Jones. We slare
not attempt anything like sketch a
and shall not. II was an effort wolf1 s.
great statesman--worthy 10 'co}|.n & III.
a Senator--worthy Of Gov. Jones in bis
palmiest days, If indeed these are NOT
his palmiest. He spoke as man that
could discard the trammels and petty
lprejudiocs Of party, in view Of the tro-
mcndous responsibilities Of the times,
and soar sublimely above all and every
selfish or party consideration He told
the people that he was not there as an
oficc-seeker-that he did not address
them as the advocate Of any pnrty--he
was there to speak for the Union, and
for Southern rights under tho Union. -
Most nobly, bravely and triumphantly
did he vindicate the Kansas-N Nebraska
bill, and his able support and cliampion-
ship Of that bill, and most whitening and
overwhelming was his denunciatioh OF
the trcachery and Inconsistency Of those
editors and politicians in Tennessee who
at the commencement of the Kansas con-
troversy were the advocates Of the bill,
but who have since, In obedience TO the
miserable dictates of faction and parti-
zanship, turned their backs upon ii and
ingloriously fed the field. 1t was a
speech calculated to awake, to arouse
the people Of all parties to The imminencc
Of the danger that now broods over tho
republic, threatening 10 overwhelm our
happy and glorious Union" y
The Madisonian says in conclusion:
"Upon the whole, this was q glorious day
for the cause of the Union and the South
1.-The crowd, the procession, the music,
the flags and banners, the firing Of heavy
artillery, the vast array Of female lowell
ness, and the eloquent and powerful
| speech Of Senator Jones, all taken TO-
setlror vunsplred 10 make the day ono of
marked prominence in the canyass--ono
long TO be remembered by those in at
tendance--one whose influence will be
felt in November IL was announced
that other speakers would address tho
people at night. We could not remain
to hear them, and to become as well nc
quaintcd with the gallant and inyincible
democracy Of Haywood aswo could wish
TO be. We are assured, ON the best au-
thority, that the democratic gain in Hay
wood will be large We count upon
carrying the county by considerable
majority"
