Brooks, Funeral oSseoules.

 TIE PREPARATION feeling is bccom;uo more general that the friends of the deceased are acting ill-advisedly in forcing the House to such unusual holors oa the occasion of the de- cease of one of their number. The funeral cer. emones are planned on a scale that equal if not snrpasses, in magn.fcence ani expe,rse that of AdimS, Taylor, and Clay T,ose who are opponents of the deceased in life, are ready end willing to forget in his death all cause of enmity and accord to his memory all usual honors. But to rival ill osteitaciou the obsequ!es of the noblest and hest beloved of the nation. is far flom heinz tasteful or expedient on the part of tn, friends of the deceased, for it brings too freely to the minds of the reluctant participants in the pageant cause of the effort of the South to do him so high honor Poor Brooks the latter part Of his life was embittered by the attempt into which he was driven to retrfeve the honor of his State and now that he Las passed away, the insatiate demands of party power will heap noisome laurels upon his tomb, that VII drive away even those who would for get his faults aud remember lis virtues

Be. fore long the ground which had thus far been unbrokcn Was touched upon by this seutance. l. He m,r.ted their confidence, hecause he was the faithful advocate of their lo.itcal sentiments j'alols guardian of their rights, and their honor Tine bond sympathy was now broken. One side remembered the great wrong, the other side called to mind their endorsement aul de- fence indignation flashed from many fierce eye and it appeared as though the angry quar- rel would be renewed even over the body itself The House Was no longer h,,>h,d, but u buzz ran through the great assembly, which smoke of passions awakened. The conclusion of Mir. C.'s speech Was lost in the hum, and he sat

Savage, of Tenn. now srrang to his feet, and in a loud and ugry voice tl:at sounded Ike a trumpet blast in every ear, proclaimed anew the shame of his party, and the remembrance of the intligna' ion of outraged hunlamty into the very coffin of the d C ased.
