THE MESSAGE OF Gov BRowN.-Thcre is not
a Georgia journal that has come to orr notice
since the publication of Gov Browns extaordina.
ry message to the Legislature of that State, which
does not in some sense bear the stamp of unquali-
fed disapproval of the tone and temper of the
document. Thinking men beyond the boundaries
of the Empire State have likewise not been slow
to express their disapprobation. At another time,
official caution and official recommendations, strong
language, and the aDtaSonstic spirit which throws
fre-brand 10 our pathway, might have found vent
without harm, and possibly without word OF criti
cism but at period like the present, for the rep
resentative OF great people, who are patriotic,
united and Jealous in their good works: and
whom no stain of dishonor has ever yet rested, to
initiate opposition to the General Government
is step inconsistent with the duties of the hour
and policy that bodies good to our cause. Gov
Brown is an ambitious aspirant for the next Presi-
dency. aud there are those among his followers
who affect to believe that be will reach this eli
max; but if read any truth in the signs of the
times; if there is any language in the firm, bold
front with which our people are facing the respon-
sbties of the hour, it-tels of an indomiable pur-
pose to yield cheerful submission to that will of
the General Government, which has found express
sion through Congress- and to all questions
involved in party chickering's and political ambition
for final settlement when danger is past.
lie who feeds the passions and prejudices of the
masses at time like this, and endeavors to divert
them from the channel of public good is the most
covert and dangerous enemy with which country
has to contend; and the good sense of the people
should consign him to moral and political grave
from which there is no Observation-Disclosures
Cdrotinidn.
We fear that Gov. Brown is actuated BY de.
sire to make political capital for himself: His
objections to the late of Congress ILL
timed and factious. and can do the common cause
no good. It would be much better to secure our
independence first, before we quarrel and divide
about theories.
One Of the members of the Georgia Legislature,
Mr. Linton Stephens, introduced resolution de-
claring that the suspension of the habeas corpus
by Congress is improper; but We see it announced
since that the Judiciary Committee have reported
resolutions sustaining the action Of Congress- which
we presume will be adopted.
BIG WORDS AND SMALL IDEAS Big words
great favorites with people of small ideas and
weak conceptions. They are often employed by
men Of mind, when they wish to use language that
may best conceal their thoughts. With few ex-
ceptons, however, lliterate and halfeducated per-
sous use more "big words" than people of thorough
education 1t is very common but very egregi-
Gus mistake to suppose that long words are more
genteel than short ones-just the same sort of
people imagine high colors and fasby figures i'm
prove the style of dress. They are the folks who
don't begin, but always Commence" They don't
live, but ''reside." They don't 60 to bed, but
