Senator Doolittle recently made a speech
at Madison, Wisconsin, from which we ex-
tract the following telling truths: --..--
b But, feIlow-citizens, I tell YOU, and I assure
you, it is as certain, .inzny judgment, as God
lives and reigns, that unless the people in
this country. sustain Andrew Johnson now
In his determined effort to sustain this Union
and to arrest the mad career of this wild
tendency to TcentraliZation[ your constitu-
tional liberties are. -engul phed in a vortex
from which they will never rise. Cheers. !

Daniel Webster's Propheey-The present
time, says a contemporary, calls to mind the
famous prophecy of Daniel Webster, uttered
in Faneuil Hall IN the spring of 1882
"If the Internal fanatics and abolitionists
ever get power in their hands they will over
ride the Constitution set the Supreme Court
at defiance, make laws to suit themselves,
lay violent hand on those who differ with
them IN their opinions, or darequestion their
infallibility, and finally bankrupt the Fcoun-
try, and deluge it in blood.
On Thursday evening Of last week, just
before the Philadelphia Black-and-Tan closed
their orgies, Gov Brownlow rose to make an
explanations It was this: SH.3 - /,
1t had been said that he (Brownlow) was
afraid Of the, suffrage. he never held
doubtful position on any question, and he
| had no hesitation In sayin .IleEwasl for negro
suffrage. He would rather be elected to an
| Office by loyal negroes than disloyal whites.
Z "a q he would rather associate with loyal ne
1 groes in private life than with white rebels.
| He would rather be buried in a negro grave
/ yard than in a rebel graveyard; and if he
/ had to go-to heb or Heaven safteTrdeath he
would rather 20 with loyal negroes than
white rebels.

Pleas, at Louisville, has refused writ Of ha-
