A PaIpabse Hit,

Hon. Albert G.. Brown. L. s. Senator
from Mississippi before the rebellion began.
and now member Of the rebel Congress.
made speech lately in Richmond in which
he told some queer things regarding the
conduct Of some leading Northern Demo
Gratis just before hostilities began. He
showed up the dupliclty and treachery Of
some Of the rascals, who, like Ben. Butler.
encouraged the South to take up arms, and
afterwards become Abolitionists, and the
South s most deadly enemies. Among 9TH
er rich revelations by hlr Brown. he rela-
ted an interview he had with Mr.. Stanton,
just before leaving Washington for the last
time. 1t was under the circumstances pc
culiarly calculated to int tss Mr. Brown.
His State had withdrawn from the Union.
MIR. Brown was passing out of the Senate.
and Mr.. Stanton from the Supreme Court.
They met by accident in front Of the Old
Capitol, when the conversation turned at
once on secession, the action Of MisSiSsippi
on the question, and Mr.. Il. y Withdrawal
from the Senate. Mr.. Brown was surprised
and under the circumstances delighted to
hear Mr. Stanton say the South was right.
and express an earnest hope that she would
stand firm, You are right said he. Go
what they have done, and all will be we'll,
tFhmness now will secure you all you ask
Any waverng, add you are lost" "..."
Mr. Salisbury, Senator from Delaware
directed the attention of the IT, s. Senate
to Mr., Brown revelation. and offered for
the consideration Of that body Il preamble
and resolution which closed in this way:
And whereas, in the judgment OF the
Spllntp no uur2Op N,hDcp 11ntriptiarl, s,t1
deity to the Constitution and Government
of the United States should be member
of the Cabinet of the United States of the
present loyal and patriotic Eecutive; thore-
fore, .... L.. a.
"Resotred, That acommittee of five mem
bcrs of the Senate be appointed by the pre-
siding officer thereof to make inquiry in
reference to the truth or falsity of the char
pes hereinbei0re as aforesaid recited; and in
reference to the patriotism and loyalty Of
Edwin NJ. Stanton, past and present, with
leave to take testimony and to make report
in writing 10 the Senate
This was certainly most palpable hit be-
tween the excessively loyal eyes # the pat
riot, Stanton; but, ot#ithstandingss the
pledge Of Salisbury, that he would prove
all Of Browns allegations, we do not see
that the Scnat granted his request There
is no doubt but that the proposed inycsti-
CATION If granted, would disclose some facts
connected with the incipinht stages of the
secession movement, which would cause the
people to change their opinions in regard to
some clustering peoples rrrtassiou. Of
loyalty Had the StantonS, Buffers Dick
insons liolts, and hundreds of Others ike
them, taken high ground against secession
and warmed thesseuthern headers to pause,
the rebellion never would have begun. But
these treachcrous men encouraged the
Southern leaders to rcvult, promising them
the support Of the great Democratic party
u aid Them in their treason It Is there
fore, no wonder that Mr.. Brown and others
ike him. are indignant st the contact Of
such treacherous rcnegades If the Truth
were know OF these men and others like
them, it would be seen that they became
Abolitionsts to save their necks: for, al in
vcstlgation o! their proceeding with the ad-
yocates OF secession, would demonstrate
that, up until tAe commencement Of the re-
tellion, they We're guilty Of conspiracy to
cstroy the Union. Knowing this, and
fearful of its being dragged to light, is the
true cause Of the men mentioned having 80
suddenly become such noisy and blatant Alb
ohtlonsts as they now are Pitts. lost.
