Parson Brownlow, Of the Knoxville Wing
wrote private letter last august, express
ing his preference Of a Republican TO Dem.
ocrat for The Speakership Of the next House
of Representatives. The letter found its
way 10 the newspapers. and of course
good deal of Locofoco denunciation fell up
on The author. He, however, republishes
the document in his own paper and stands
boldly and squurely up 10 it. Hear how he
