| "CRAxBERRY SENATOR'S" SPEEcH.-At the
request of many friends, both Democrats ard Re-
publicans, we publish the famous speech of Sena-
tor Brown. We are, as one of the able Senator's
constituents proud of it, and think it gem in its
way.
In the Senate on Friday the 18th Of February,
1859, DR.. Brown made speech on the Bill abol-
ishing the three township trustee system, and
throwing the business INTO the hands of one. The
following is true copy:
Mr.. Brown The gentleman says the north
ern part of the State are opposed to the one man
power. Now, | live up there among the cranber-
~ marshes and huckeberry marshes, and | know
that my people in ST. Joseph and Marshall are in
favor of this reform, and have instructed TO 90
for it. They are willing even to strike out three,
and have but one county commissioner. They
say that one county commissioner will DO as well
as one Common Pleas Judge, or one Circuit Judge.
Our county Auditor who has been in the Office ten
years. says the business could be done by as
cheap again as by three The Senator Just speak
ing may live up towards the OHIO or Michigan line
somewhere, but where Lake Michigan comes down
into this Stale, are in favor Of this reform
We would save at least EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLAR;
to this State by IL and if that amt little forward
steps, don't what is. daughter
PARTY SPIRIT.-Tle nfatuatiou to which party
spirit viii sometimes lead men was never more
forcibly exhibited than by the remark of a friend
of mine the other day, who is, by the way, an ac-
complished scholar, and withall Cnr1srIA, gen
tleman.
We happened to be speaking of the two jour
mails, Harper's Weekly and the New York Ledger,
when he remarked that be considered the Ledger
much the ABLEsr and paper. Such an asser-
ton from man of his standing and character was
so supremely ridiculous that your correspondent,
Mr.. Editor, couldn't believe, for a moment, that
he was serious, until on further conversation with
him, the secret spirit that moved him leaked out.
Harper's Weekly, although the journal of no
party or creed, has lately, through its able edito-
rials, been showing up the rottenness and corrup-
tion Of Black Republican policy and practice, and
the disunioA and disorganzing sentiments of Black
Republican leaders.
clear to me why this scholarly gentleman and
christian had formed such a sudden attachment
for Sylvanus Cobb, ct id omne genus. who fiji the
pages OF the Ledger with ' blood and thunder sto
ries." KRAN
A uLL GORGE OF NlcGER.-At the late corpo.
ration election in Bedford, Mass, saws the Craw
ford Forum, Edward II. Robinson, a gentleman
worth his millions, was elected member of the
city council fiom the fourt tn ward but not likinr
the way his fellow laborers worked. resigned his
seat. and there was IN election to fill the vacancy
Morrill, Robinson, Esq, white lawyer, was one
OF the candidates, and Thomas Baync, black
man, was the other. Bayne got the most votes
and was declared elected, and took his seat Since
then his free soil friends have been doing their best
to get him to resign, but he keeps slif upper lip,
and won't do it. They now threaten to put him
out by law, but the gallant darkey tells them to go
ahead So far Bayne has the best of it. The ne
gro worshippers OF New Bedford, although they
can hold John Brown meetings, and talk loudly
about their willingness at any time to resist the m
sitvc slave law, yet do not desire negro in their
city council. They don't think it looks well they
are afraid il it known that other places would
laugh at them So the New Bedford papers are
silent on the subject while the internal warfare
goes The joke is, however, too good to be lost

BE NOT DEcEIyED.-Some Of the Republican
politicians and newspapers, who profess to degree
of conservatiyeism the slavery question, and
pretend to be horrifed at the doctrines of Chase
Seward, Giddings and others, are trying to make
the people believe that Mr.. Lincoln was selected
at Chicago because he was a moderate man and
held opinions adverse to the higher law and ir-
rcpressible conflict doctrine of the leaders of the
party But that is not true, the people take
care that they are not deceived by such state
ments In the speech made by Mr. Lincoln in
this city last fall ne referred to the fact that Mr.
Seward had proclaimed the 'irrepressible conflict
doctrine at Rochester, and said, While am here
Oh tins subject, l can not bui express gratitude
that this true view of this element of discord among
us-as be ieve it isis attracting more and more
attention. do not believe that Governor Seward
uttered that sentiment because had done so be-
fore, but because he reflected on the subject and
saw the truth of it. Here Mr.. Lincoln claims the
paternity of this 'rrepressible conflict, and takes
especial care to guard against the impression tia.
Mr.. Seward was its author Those, therefore.
who attempt to palm Mr.. Lincoln off as node
rate man on the slavery question, do it at the ex
pense of truth. He is a man after Joshua r
Giddings own heart-a real out and out higher

ably edited penny paper, in Virginia, doubtless
represents the true sentiments of the mass of South

what the South isjustly entitled to under the Con
