!. OPINION OF THE ENGLISH PRESS.
"We have read Mr.. H. 8. Browns Lectur-
es' with much satisfaction. Mr. Brown
knows how to speak to the people, He has
almost every qualification for it, If we may
judge from his printed addresses. There is
no mandlin sentimentality. about, him ;zbnt-all
is healthful as the breeze on the hill. There
is no clap-trap; he is both too honest AMI too
earnest for that. There is neither Pharisaic
scorn Of vice, nor any effeminate apoligizing
FOR it, but a wise Christian mans hatred Of it,
who knows how to look on those who ore sin
degraded as his brethren. He speaks to the
people almost as one Of themselves, only from
iy 2hrases. yet he does not thereby pander to
vulgarity. He mas happy acquaintance with
our homely common sense proverbs, and en-
ploys them telling]y. There is 20 a4ectatlon
Of extraordinary concern for the poor or
their souls . but there is that real manly
concern which can afford to dispense with
profession, and to express itself in calm but
brave and sensible earnest endeayours. The
proverb, g Much cry and little WOOL you may
reverse in his case. His true desire to benefit
the people is partly shown by the pains with
which he collects and prepares the statistics Of
vice, poverty, disease, &C., in order that his
well-marshalled facts may preach to the UNDER
standing. The genuineness Of his earnestness
is evinced by the cheerfulness with which it
tolls along the highway Of common sense. He
has no recourse to reckless, undiscriminatilg
charges, and is too strong for exaggeration.-
Truth is enough for him would that this were
no distinction While he faithfully touches
the worst vices, yet you never feel that the
censor himself must have coarse taste or pru-
rient Imagination. These Sunday afternoon
lectures are not sermons nor intended to be-
In them he grapples with acknowledged evils;
but still, while opening the eyes Of the people
to the real nature of much Of what their daily
life too often is, and showing what it might be
he is never ashamed of the Gospel Of Christ,
nor chargeable with even seeming to let them
60 away with the impression that anything
else, and not the kingdom of heaven is the first
thing to be sought. In Mr.. Brown We have q

where any classes Of Gods creatures are do

I have ben expecting to zee you haul
ing over the Goals, some Of the candidates

connection with tho Know Nothing Lodg-
e.. * 80,
Some Of N old settlers remember as far
back . 1854; and among other things we'll
remembered hereabout is, that sometime
in that year :: Know Nothing Lodge was
duly organized 1t the town Of Watab. six
Or seyen miles above this place, on the
Mis.ialppi.I So -: ....
The Winnsbaeoes then lived opposite
the town, ON tho west side Of tho Mi.sis-
sippi, and sylvanus 3. Lowry, and other
Indian traders then lived there. -:
A Lodge was duly ret up IN Watab by
some grand missionary Of Know Nothing
ism from the east; and Lowry and other
prominent Rios men about Watab joined
tie order : H.. 49,. t.s.l~ ~,
l.. On this you can rely, rs ! was in po-
sition .at that time to be well informed on
the subject ~. -. ~ IL: ..~s.*.
The Know Nothing missionary obtained
the better snccsss in, his mission, % he ex-
hibited to: ths1 Rice men hereabots, evi-
de.ee that Mr.. Henry NJ. Rice had joined
tho order in the east; and that his nearest
friends in st. Paul, especially the law firm
of Rice, Hollinshead & Becker, were all
members of It. a<: ., 80 80: t<gi<E -.
The Indian traders at Watab, therefore,
all went into the concern. under, the gen
sral suppositioa, that it would be : good
thing, politically and peouniarily, a. It re-
ally locked probable 1t time the Know
Nothing party was going to be tho great
svershadowing party Of the whole nation.
They Ill slipped On that notion; and now
would rather keep dark about their con-
nection with the order. .: ......
Lowry, you may rely upon i, without
anyrkind of mntaEe,s was full-aedged
member Of the Know Nothing Order.
