BroWnlOW in His Richest Vein.
Last Saturday evening Parson Brownlow
delivered speech in Chicago, which was in
his raciest vein. Invectivo never seemed so
ready at hand with him before. We make
some extracts from the speech. First, he
says Of those who inaugurated the war, de-
nying that it was done by the North
But the men Of South Carolina, Alaba-
ma, Mississippi, Georgia, and all the powers
of hell, inaugurated this hellish war Great
applause. 1t originated in the South with
the worst men that ever God Almighty
permitted to breath the air of heaven, and I
declare in the fear Of God TO- night that one
half, yes two thirds Of the men in the Hi
nois penitentiary are better men than any Of
the leaders Of the rebellion at the South
[Cheers.] And if were not afraid to
morrow being Sunday, Of bringing upon my
head controversy with some Of the clergy
men, many Of whom are, no doubt, in this
large assembly, should give it as my hon
est conviction that there are better men in
hell than the leaders Of this rebellion''-
Immense cheering and laughter.]
He then showed how the South had al
ways had the largest spoon in the dish Of
officers, spoils, &c. He then quotes what
old Buchanan had recently said about the
war being wrong. and that it ought to be
stopped, &c.-Brownlow says:
II am not here to reflect upon any Of you
for having supported, in the Presidential
contest Of 1856, James Buchanan. Nv
skirts are clear Of that. But all these ladies
know that you did wrong in giving him your
votes, ladies', you and I know that the
man who lives eighty years on this earth Of
ours, without courting woman or marrying
a wife, is not fit for wolf:bait." Much
mcrriment and cheers.l
Here is his opinion Of rebels: ~
II hold-and I will utter it now, lest
forget this part Of the suhject-that every.
thing rebel has on the face Of the green
earth, a rebel South or rebel North, his
land, his horses, his money, his hogs, his
property, including his negroes-all he has
ought to be eonfscated, and then his infer>
nal neck ought to BE- confscated. Immense
applause and laughter.] ! deny that the
rebel, North or South, against this benign
government Of ours, has any but two rights
under tho sun !: The one is, the right to be-
hanged; and the other is, the right to be
damned" Continual laughter and cheers. }
South Carolina, he says. always was 4
burlesque on Republican institutions, and has
always aped monarchies and he proved her
tendencies in that direction from some Of
her present legal customs.
Old Mason and Slideil received his mos :
heartfelt compliments. lie introduces them
by quoting what Mason said, which was IS
follows, just before he left the Senate:
mo matter what the North may agree to
concede to US, the South intends to rejec,
anything and everything because we intend
to 60 out" Who was that Senator 1t

demsgogues, that old, spawned, glandered,
distempered, hip.shodden, sway. backed
