Parson Brownlow was conductad on the
stage by Mr.. Chas. T. Rodgers, the Pres.

duties first of subduing the rebellion, and
then OF re-institnting i'll its strength the

This may be allowed to say that | most
sincerely regret, because there is no power
on earth there is no power so great, OF
such influence upon the human mind, as
the power of oratory, finished and Ii. h.ghy

Affection &c. The one perlshed w.th its
author, the other has continued tnrOu9 houl
all time, and with public speakers will CON

thing am confident of this evening, and
that IS that address an apprecative au-
dience, all assemblage who have congrcgat-
ed on this occasion to hear some facts IN
reference to the great rebellion of the South,
the gigantic conspiracy of the Nineteenth
Century and shall therefore look more to
what say than to the manner of saying
that thing. Checrs.] More, fyou pl ase,
to the subject matter Of what | shall say
than to amy studied effort at displaying the

but havoalways taken hand in what

ago my voice entirely failed from stubborn
attack of bronchitis, and for two years OF
that lime was unable to speak above q whis-
During that period made pilgrimage to
New York, and had all operation performed
upon my throat and was greatly benefit
ed. When wept home my physicans i'm
pressed it upon me that | must try my
voice occasionally at a public meeting or a
| cump-meeting, or if | could do no better, go
| INTO the woods and decaim among the
| stumps and logs. Instead of doing so |
| frequently addressed a temperance meeting,

know th t is "a good cause AT other times,
tried to deliver short sermons, as regu-
larly-ordained minister. That is good
cause, too but that all failed. But, as soon
as opened my batteries i'll Pixies Opera

through the columns Of the most widely
circulated paper they had in the South
