with his Idyllic stolidites.
That this last measure may BE- one of prudence,
if not of safety we think all our readers viii agree
with us. when We recall the terms of the combat
proposed BY this Reverend challenger when he first
Illuminated his menaces against us. He proposes
to divide his subject matter into sixteen heads, on
each of which he must have at least half hour to
diate, A sermon eight hours long, with sixteen
heads to it many-headed monster indeed
The hydra was a harmless worm in the comparison.
And what Hercules is there that is sufficient for
such labor as this We shudder at the thought
of the fatal consequences which may result from
the attempts Of desperate men to sit out such dis
course. Sudden death or lingering idiocy might
well follow acts Of reckless temerity like these.
BY wsy of relief TO these painful IDEAS, we are hap
py To assure our more anxious readers that Par
sob BrownlOw is opposed to the dissolution OF the
Union. His idea of Union is, perhaps, little orig
-inal as il involves fighting the AbotOnists, five of
whom il is his deliberate calculation that one warm
biooded Southcrner can whip. This species Of
Union he thinks much preferable to secession and
giving up "our interest in the National Treasury
" the Navy and the Government property gener-
"aly." II il observable, too, that our invader has
no apprehensiOns for his personal safety during his
inrosd upon u.s. He has no doubt of being civilly
entreated, and having no obstacles thrown in the
way of his saying out his say. He knows that he
may come to the North and set up Slave labor
above Free, and try to persuade our capitalists to
become shareholders and our laborers slaves
without any danger except that Of being laughed at
for his pains. But il he willing TO return the civil
ity, and permit Mr.. Ward Beecher or Mr.. Theo
dore Parker to argue against the Institutions OF his
section within It's limits, as we are content that he
should against those of ours OF course, he would
lead the mob that would lynch them. And yet, he
cannot see that this simple circumstance is an
answer at all points to any argument he, or men
infinitely greater than he could bring in behalf of
Slavery, on its merits.
Indeed the existence of such man this
Reverend brIiser is argument enough against the
institutions under which he has grownup. Where
at the North would such man be endured, in the
humblest of pulpits Coarse, brutal, vulgar, il
ierate, unable to write two consecutive sentences
of good English without sense and without man
ners, he thinks himself competent to encounter
such men as Messrs. Beecher, Parker and Phillips
and to confound all their attempts TO prove that
Freedom is better than Slavery We hardly
think any of the gentlemen he specifies in bis chal-
enge will think their time well spent in his society
