Throttle Squatter Sovereignty
Senator Brown Demands Governor
Walkers Removal.
The speech delivered BY Senator Brown on
Saturday night last, at the Court House, was ar
effort that did infinite credit to him as a man
and a statesman. TWAS listened to with mark.
ed attention, by one Of the largest audiences
that ever assembled in that building; and when
we say that his hearers were pleased with the
matter and manner of his address, we but utter
that which none can gainsay.
He announced himself as candidate for re.
election to the United States Senate, and prom
sed, if elected, to bring to the discharge of hi.
duties as Senator all his talent, with that vigi.
lance and faithfulness commensurate with the
importance Of the trust committed to his keep
ing.
During the time be had the honor in part, Ia
represent Mississippi in the Senate Of the
nation, he had striven to play the part Of the
faithful sentinel; AID il he had failed in this,
he felt conscious that the fault was not so much
in his heart as his head.
In regard to his Minnesota speech, Of which
there has been much said Of late, he had but
this to say: he had made the speech, and it was
his intention to stand or fall BY it. He did not
believe that foreigners should be allowed 10 ex-
ercise the right of suffrage in the Territories,
and assist in bringing new State into existence,
before they were naturalized. And if any man
objected to him on account Of that speech. he
could do so-he was not going to apologize for
giving expression to his opinion that naturaliza-
ton ought to precede citizenship. He had ut
tered the very same sentiments in bis speech
on the California bill, and no person, at that
time, thought he had done anything particularly
smart, or said anything particularly clever. The
South objected most strenuously to the ad-
mission of California into the Union, because
aliens from every cline and every creed and
color, acting under the advice Of Gen. Riley,
were allowed TO assist in framing her constitu-
ton, which excludes the South from her limits;
and how any SOuthener, any Democrat, could
blame him for protesting against such . state
Of things In Minnesota, he could not divine-it
was beyond. his comprehension.

reprObatiOn At bis hands. He did not believe
that Mr.. Buchanan would suffer Walker to re-
tain bis place Is GOTSnor Of that Territory; but
ifhe did, the South would riSe up and denOunce
himss false 70 the great principles Of the Kan
sas bill, and traitor to her best interests. He,
