On Saturday, the 18th Instant at a place call

zion Of a conplim nntary barbecue, the Hon. Al
bert G. Brown Senator in Congress. from said
State, delivered himself Of set speech, from
which we make the following extract

Now, considering that this Mr.. Brown is a fire.
eater Of the hottie. quality, and filibuster Of
the Walker pattern, these views of his upon the
Kansas issue will neither surprise nor frghteaan
body He is opposed to the admission of Kansas
under any other terms than those of the English
restriction, on the ground thai the abandonment
of this restriction will be the sacr6ce of princi-
pie to expediency." But what is the principle
involved! The English bill provides, in the
event OF the rejection Of the Lccompton consti-
tuition by the people Of Kansas, for Withholding
the admission Of the new State until she
can muster the full federal ratio required
for one representative in Congress-that is TO
say, $4,000 people. This il the principle of
which Mr.. Brown and the fre-eaters generally
are so very tenacious, which is just no principle
at all.
The overwhelming vote by which the people
Of Kansas have repudiated the English bill set
ties the question that slavery is dead and done
for there whether we admit the State at the next
session Of Congress, or Eve, ten or twenty years
hence. The principle" Of slavery, therefore,
upon which the South was dcudcd by Mr. Doug
las into this trial Of popular sovereignty Il
gone. Kansas is lost 10 the South, and no Con-
OCCASIONAL eSpedent invention or device can
restore her to the South. The South have fought
the battle and they have lost IL; and no invidious
discrimination or restriction against Kansas as a
free State will be Of any advantage to the South,
or 10 slavery. either in Kansas or ont of Kansas
| There is no principle any longer involved in the
matter, but simply question Of time population
| and common sense.
We repeat. therefore, that il Is the policy OF
the administration, and the policy OF the demo
cratic party. TO favor the admission Of Kansas ut
the earliest opportunity; and that any attempt on
the part Of the democracy, ~ national
party. 20 hold The people Of Kansas TO that hum
hugging English restriction will aanihilate the
party in 1860.
But. says Mr. Brown, In regard 20 the aban-
donment Of this English humbug. III the demo-
cratic party can only be saved by means like
this. then the sooner II sinks the better
Doubtless Mr. Brown is perfectly sincere In this
declaration. He belongs 10 that restless class
Of fre-esters who desire, perhaps above all
things. to keep at white heat the slavery agita-
ton, in view Of sectional rupture and South
ern coniederacy. Our existing federal govern
ment is not large enough 10 accommodate
with front seats all the would-be Presidents
and Cabinet officers among the fire-eaters Of the
South. And among The dirt-eaters of the
North we have quite lot Of hunters Of place
and power, who would not hesitate to push the
two sections TO civil war in order to accomplish
their selfish ends. Thus we perceive. that while
the fre-eaters are threatening death and destruc-
ton to all concerned in the movement for the
early admission Of Kansas, our Northern dirt
eaters are urging them on; for agitation, agita-
ton, incesant agitation, is the stock 10 trade Of

| The Northern democracy, however, appear
thoroughly 10 understand the merits of the case
we believe that thus far, every Northern demo-
cratic candidate for Congress regards the Eng
