PEARSON BRowNLow as COMING. : Psrson
Brownlow of Tennessee, famous as the fighting
parson, who has the art OF mixing religion, pro-
severy politics and profanity, in a very original
and interesting manner, is coming North to en-
tighten the heather abolitionists. In reply to
proposition from the New York Tribune, that
the parson shall meet Fred Douglass, the elo-
quent negro, in discussion of the merits of the
peculiar institution, the parson replies that he
shall briug Tennessee negro with him for that
purpose--a barber, known as Alf. Anderson.
The parson says of him:
"He is large, ine.looking negro, between the
years Of twenty five and thirty, reads and writes
we'll, has some experience public speaker,
has stentorian lungs, is strong, forcbe speak
er, rather eloquent than otherwise, and is a ma
tive oil East Tennessee. He will meet colored
orators advocate and illustrate Southern slavery,
and oppose aboltionism. In the meantime, if
you can induce him to go with you upon an un-
derground railroad to Canada, or to remain in
your glorious land of freedom, will let him do
either, and give no opposition to stealing him."

CoEoERr.-0nr readers are again reminded Of
the concert of Fske's Cornet Band which is to
come off at Mechanics Hall this evening. AS
an evidence that the concerts are appreciated
by the public, we have only to notice the in
creased attendance at each successive concert.
And yet we are assured that the expenses are
even now scarcely paid. This is not surprising,
when we realize the time II must require for re.
hearsal to enable the band to appear before an au-
dience so accptably as they do. We sincerely
hope that our fellow citizens and the musio.lov.
ing public will see to THAT they DO not lack for
that generous patronage which they so we'll de.
serve.
We understand that the announcement for Mr.
Martin to sing at the concert this evening was
prematurey made, and that his place will he sun.

Club.

Parker took early opportunity to join the
Republican party, and came out wool'dyed Re.
publican.
Having in the above thus briefly sketched Mr..
Psrker's vacillating career, as politician, up to
the present time we leave him where be is, well
knowing that all who have read it thus far will
see that his conduct in the House last week, in
the matter of the Sergeant-at- Arms, is perfectly
consistent with the tenor Of his whole past course
Last year in speaking Of the affairs at the State
House, we are told by one of his associates that
he denounced Mr.. Stevens, the Sergeant farms,
as ian ectraUagant old dog," while this year he
bases his arguments for bis support upon ''Uen-
grafton for his gray hairs" To US, who know
him so we'll, it is not surprising that he should
pursue the course he seems FOR the present to
have chosen, To those who have watched his
extraordinary feats of ground and lofty tumbliHg
who have witnessed the ready facility with which
each year. he has shed his last years party and
his last years principles, as the snake sheds his
skin, there viii be no surprise at anything he may
say attempt to DO but it would be matter of
surprise to them if anything he could say or do
should have any influence upon the members of the
House just as it would be a matter of surprise to

n seIious uiIncultN mas arisen In the 1e2lsla-
ture in reference the law of last session requiring
previous publication of all petitions. The grant
ing of which will affect the rights of any individ
uals or corporations By the provisions of the
law, the affidavit of the publisher of the paper is
made the legal evidence of the publication, aud
these "aff iavits, ard the petitions to which they
relate shall be presented to the General Court,
during the first ten days of the session" Ajoint
rule of the two houses also adopted, directing
the committees to whom such petitions should be
referred in all cases where the provisions of the
law were not strictly complied with, to take no
further action upon them, but to report them
back with leave 10 withdraw. 1t now turns out,
that in nearly every case of such petitions, the
publication has been duly made and the petition
presented in season, but the affidavit has been
retained by the petitioner, to be presented, has
been the practice of presenting the evidence of
publication, heretofore when the hearing should
take place before the committee. This has hap
pened from an oversight of the special provision
of the law. For all practical purposes, this just
as well if the affidavit were presented with the
petition. were it not for the law, but that is i'm
peratye on the subject, and so it places the Leg
islature in quandary If the law is enforced by
them it will subject the petitioners to much loss
aud inconvenience, and. if not enforced in all re-
spects, it opens a door for an entire disregard of
its provisions, as it will be very difficult tic draw
line where one petition shall be admitted and an
other excluded.
1t is true, that the law does not provide, in ex-
press terms, that petitions shall not be consider
ed, which do not come within its provisions. But
such evidently was the intention, and no other in
ference can fairly be drawn. There is much di-
vision in opinion to the expedieucy Of the law,
some believing that it infringes too much on the
right of petition, while others think that any
hardship imposed by it, is more than counterbal-
anced by the time it will save to the Legislature
