Hon, Emerson Etheridge.

The JI,ion and American of yesterday re-
publishes from the Memphis ArIlaHeLe, the fol-
lowing extract furnished the latter by cor
respondent, aud which purporis to give posi-
tions taken by Mr.. f. in his recent speech at
Brownsville:
MIR. Etheridge said, in general review Of
slavery throughout the world, that it had
been swept from Asia ana Europe. and now
found locality only in the cotton and
tobacco States of the American Cont
nent; that Jesus Christ preached to slave
holders thefej anu tHeJ IL given up
their slaves; and wherever slavery had been
abolished, it had been on account of the pop
ular voice against it. He said the South
had always got her rights. She had always
got what she asked for and more TOO. lie
read the Black Republican platform, section
by section, and asked the people If there was
ANYTHING in it to offend the South or cause
her to resist the Inauguration of Lincoln
He said there was not. And, so far as his
election would affect the South, it would be
the same as if Bell was elected. In either
event there would be an cya OF general pros
perty; property Iv0uLd rise; the treasury would
be filed, and the price of negroes would 90
up. Among other things, be said Lincoln
had never said anything harder against sla-
very than Thos. Jefferson, and be quoted
from Thos jefferson an others to show the
horrid light in which they regarded slavery.
These views are not such as are held by the
Constitutional Union party and we doubt
whether they were expressed by Mr.. ETHER
IDGE. The correspondent Of the Arat4a'ete,
VIC suspect, has mIsCUuCeived bis remarks :;
if he did not misrepzent them Intentionally.
We do not charge the latter. We neither in-
cline to the former view. But, it has here
tofore seemed impossible for democrats, they
so hate him, to report Mr.. ETHERI9GE cor
rectly. Passing over the other sentiments
attributed to him, with a simple disclaimer
of our coinciding with him, We must say
that we do not belieye-nOr docs the C0nsti-
tutional Union party believc-that the cleo
ton of LINCOLN would result in an era of
prosperity. On the contrary, We believe it
would increase the dissensions which now
unhappily exist between the sections, and
we greatly fear. precipitate the country into
a revolution. We dread the success of the
republican party in the Presidential election
as the harbinger of evil. and evil only.
