Hear the PiOus Pursou BroWnlOW.
The Rev. PaTsOn BrOwnlOw, editor Of the
Knoxville Whig, is a member of the South
American Party, and hates the Democracy
about as much as he does the Republicans. He
thus relieves himself upon the subject of the
organization Of the House -
"We of course will not advise Southern OPP
position members what to do, believing them
competent TO preserve their own self respect,
and to discharge a sworn duty to their country
ani their constituents. But were we a member
ofthe Southern Opposition in Congress-, before
we would occupy the paltry and contemplate
attitude of creeping after party that had
spurned US By its deliberate acts, we would see
the Capitol Of the nation, and all the territory
north and south Of it, sunk to eternal perdition.
Nay, we would see all the political OrgaDiza-
tons in America as far in HI as pigeon could
fly in thousand years, or forge hammer would
fail in twice that time Sooner than thus de-
grade Ourself, under preisnse Of battling for
the homes and rights OF our children, we would
see them all starve to death, and then seat our
selves upon their eo6ins igiih a Southern gen
tleHlan and play push pin JoT driRk Of lager

A cruelithreat Of the Chicago journal, tha;
Il Mr.. Congressman Logan does not behave
himself better Henry W. Blodgett, of Wauke-
Faa, will send to Washington to regulate the
member fram the TX, recalls an incident
which occurred in our Legislature some years
ago.
Blodgett had made speech in favor Of the
bill, 10 uhiah Logan made reply. Logan was
then an unmarried man, and much Of gallant
at the Capital. He had very dark skin for a
white man. The galleries were crowded with
ladies. Logan rose, advanced from his seat to
a position commanding view Of the galleries,
and POmpously began his speech about thus;
Before proceeding to consider this bill upon
the merits, wish TO ask the honorable mem
Der from lake few qusstiOns-and in the first
place l ask If he Is IN favor Of the mixture Of
the two races by maniagei"
Mr BlOdgett (appearing half ssleep),-"dOes
the honorable member desire me to answerl"
Mr.. Logan (voeiferOusly), II DO not oulv de
sire, but demand an explicit answer"

the matter Of intermaTriage Of the two pees,
am rather favorable to leaving that pretty much
to the parties themselves, as it is, in my view
mostly a matter Of taste. II the honorable
member should be able to secure the affections
of any respectable white girl, should be sor-
~ if we had aBy statute to prevent him from
marrying her.
The House, lObbes and galleries rOared and
roared again, with burst after burst el laughter.
Poor Logan put no more questions to Blodgett,
and his speech soon ended in miserable fail
