I GYM james Brooks, OF the New York
Express, recently IN de a speech in Springfield,
Mass, in which he completely upset the ar
gument that the success Of the Republican
party would he dangerous to the Union
The Sprinfeld Republican says:
s'Mr. Brooks unwistingly kicked the dish
of Nil his argument against the Republican
As . ssctionsl and abolition and improper
party all over, in order to come down the
harder upon Col. Fremont personally for
he said, If the Republicans, after forming
their organizat or and establishing their prin-
ciples, had nominated Judge Mclean instead
Of Col. Fremont, he should have supported
him, and urged Mr.. Fillmore to with
draw in his favori So it is not the party,
| after all, hut the candidate, that Mr.. Brooks
and the Express keep up such bowling
about The .sectionalism,' the abolition
| ISM the geographical party, even the
threatened sdisunion'all this you would
| swallow and endorse, II but Judge Mclean,
instead Of John c. Fremont, had received q
mai ority Of the votes at Philadelphia. Thank
you for that, Master Brooksr'
| Hrr.-Goyernor Floyd, Of Va, was in

Buccaneers, to be heard in reply. Mr..
Banks, after stating that he was in the hands
Of the Committee, who invited him there,
said:-
81 have not the slightest objection to meet
Governor Floyd, if his friends desire it, in
New York, in discussion Of the pending po-
litical questions and should do so with the
greater pleasure, rs l make no doubt that
be would he ready to extend to me the like
privilege il Iwere in Virginia.
This is good hit, in view OF the fact that
! the BUCCANEERS Of Richmond threatened to
indict Bolts for indulging in little free
speech.
