JUDGE BRowN's LEcrURE-The lee
ture Of the Hon. Judge Brown, at the
Tabernacle, last night, for the benefit Of
the widows and orphans, was very well
attended and proved a success. The
Philharmouics were on hand aud fur
nished some choice music. The fol
lowing points were discussed
l.. The cause Of the war was not
slavery. This was but the occasion.
The true cause WAS the conflict between
conservatism and democracy. The same
Z contest that has occurred in every repUb-
lie. The battle between the GirOndist
and Jacobin was reproduced on this
continent.
.. The wei was sectional, because in
the non-slavehOlding states was cOncen-
trated the demOcratical element in such
predominauce as TO override at last the
conservative or republican spirit, while
in the slaveholding states was conceu-
trsted the conservative or republican
/ element. Otherwise the contest would
have been general, and divided into war
ring factions each state-Or democracy
would without an armed conflict have
~subjugated the whole. The influences
that made the preceding contest as well
as the war sectional, were presented.
3. The only element in the federal sys.
TEN, on which American liberty was
based, so far as stability aud security wa:
concerned, was the autonomy Of the
states.
4. The war destroyed the autonomy o.
the states and removed the only security
for the preservation Of this liberty.
). The war resulted in the predomi'
nance of the democratical element and
the entire ascendancy Of democracy
even with republican forms.
g. That there vas no reason to suppose
that democracy would be more moderate
or wiser here than il had been al other
times or with other peoples.

that he did not use either the
term democracy or republican in

words. That that never was 6
