GA1BaBuRa, September 8, 1864
Nr. o. H. Browning spoke in our city last
Saturday. He was announced In ths two pa
pars published in our county, and BY hand
bills posted throughout the city and surround
ing country, and Whan ha commenced his
speech the hall where It Was made, {capsble Of
seating some300 OF 40o.) VAS only about half
iu1l When he closed, however, it Was nearly
full Not many Of the older citizens were
present. A msjority Of the audience were Of
the claas whose rotes mainly give them conse-
quence. So much infueace hath this great
man In our humble city OF shout 5 900 iahaal-
tants, and in county Of abont &c. cool Surely
the people cannot see when q great light
cometh, nor appreciate the distinguished ser
vices Of 80 distinguished a senator as Hon. {?)
Oh. Browning.
And what did he do IN this effort. Henada
the argument, not OF : senator or Statesman,
but that Ut the special pleader aud OF the pet
tifog9er, before = cuun!Ty jury-and brow
beat two old men and & boy, who respectfully
asked hin questions. Verify, I say unto yon,
Hc seems 10 hate the Chicago TRIBUNE,
THAT ul dvrstands his spirit and his DRIFT, and
stands in the way Of hi. anbition, more than
| he hates the rebellion. Wonderful patriotism!
| On c0nmt ntiug on eome remar6s ID the TRI-
nus1 refee1pg on him. be stated thns the ed
has it got to be treason to Expose and oppose
| his ach.mes and nollons. Whoever before
supposed that Senator Browning Has the con-
| etituticD and Unien!
Who does not know that nll his twisting and
eflor's now, are Tor personal advancem and
! t1at he has long sought power for himself aud
few pattisAus, at The expense and sacrifice
OF ecme of the best interests Of the country,
and ras for some time past been seeking place
at the e3pente and damage OF the public
| welfare; and that, too. in this trying hour for
the life Of the republic.
He. . true patriot, whose OWL will and In
teresis have been his highest law, aud who
now coEdsmrs the acts Of Congress passed
over Lis head, and the opinions Of tbs best
men in the country, and even must change
Btme Of the acts OF The President to sustain
his oumf Does Congress owe him any apol'
ogy for its course?
.He,a a patriot, opposed to meu who have
made great sacrifices for the public good
deayoring to make his great success in life b1
! opposing the truest and ab1est patriots q
these times in our country.
May Heaven deliver Us from such patriotism
a. his.
, To be sure, much Of his address was vel
J enough, but that was made not SO much 70
| the cause as it was 10 take advantage of tn
cause to gain power and currency to carr
through the personal objects he has in view
t The s9i7H Of the addrees WAS one of it
/ worse faults. Thssoul Of the genuine patrio
was not in it.
: While he declaims against party spirit, b
pla, ed the partisan completely, and aWakene
!, party spirit instead Of patriotism.
y He made statements, in regard to the arm,
that almost every soldier knows to be nntrus
and in regard TO the Confscation act, that,
: true, would stul1ify the whole Congress, an
n even the preEicent,
If he cau'n have hearing in the TR1BU11
, won't the Times do him justice?
d Does he feel under obligations to lie in e
l. err little town and district in the state to e.
J. pl: in his record in congress?
:. HIS course il 8. detrimental to the true 1
:. te1ests OF III State "a was ths course Of Il
IT. 1sading pro-slavery men Of the south, yes
A. ago, 70 the whole country snd the U MON, q.
=. SHOULD be watched aud met at every point,
