every one viii recognise IS characteristic Of
the Mississippi Senator:
He h.ndled the northern and southern cues

party which presented a ghost OF a chance 10

He said there are three classes or parties a.

rs from the Territories ; the second class is Mr..
Douglas and bis followers, who admit our
equality, but assert that the people Of the Ter

~islstion, drive Us out. The third class not oily
admit our equality and protection, but give ms
courts. without laws for the remedy Of our
wrongs mestless bone. To this class be-
long the President, a portion Of his Cabinet and
bis northern supporters.
He admitted the existence OF a little band Of
patriots at the North, but be was dealing with
the above named classes.

when they must choose between slavery IN the

have US do, when the territorial legislature

After Governor Brown had CONCLUDED, Mr.
Smedes arose and In answer 10 a remark made
/ BY Gov. Brown, Ia which be mentioned his
(kir. Smedes) name, addressed the audience,
advancing bis views on the territorial ques-
ton. Gov. Brown answered him in the most
/ crushing manner, with which the audience
went almost wild With enthusiasm.
We have done but poor ~jzstice to Gov.
Browns speech, though wehave given bis main
points, we think, correctly. We hope It viii

that its sound and true southern doctrines may
be disseminated far and near.
