Orestes A. Brownson, the eminent
Catholic reviewer, made = stirring speech
in response to a serenade this evening at
Wizards. He declared himself strongly
in fayerIof emancipation. and said he
agreed with the President in colonization,
but.he was committing the fatal mistake Of
making emancipation depend upon colo
nization. Freeing the slaves of rebels he
declared to be the instant necessity of the
hour, demanded and justified as war
measure. 1t is noteworthy fact that
every ssreng declaration in favor Of free
ing the slaves, and using them in any way
they can be made available for military
purposes, was cheered to the echo. He
electrified the audience with the stirring
declaration that timid measures were al
most treason, and that we must not look
for the safety of the nation to those soft
shell conservatives whose conservatism
consists in having no eyes except ia the
backs of their heads. He ealogized the
draft NJ the first evidence of national
vigos and purpose in the war, and depre-
Gated the efforts Of some Governors and
other functionariss 70 avoid it by bsgging
for time to volunteer. His remarks were
loudly applauded throughout. l,sa
