Louisville Courier speaks rs follows:
These men have a holy horror of the loss
lofthc plumber they so disreputably acquired,
land the threat of the conllsCation OF South
ern property, which may involve their
own, has brought them to their knees.
They now appeal in piteous tones TO the
people TO flee from the wrath to come, and
avoid n ruin more complete by accepting
that now rendered as the only mode OF
escape. This is the point upon which Gov
crnor Brown chiefly relies to move the
people to his cowurdly purpose. COniisca-
ton Is the specter which haunts him, and
which he secs on every side. He points to
it rs the dread alternative which will surely
be inflicted rs the consequence of further
Obstinacy. The great principles of liberty
which, In 1861, he so earnestly urged the
people to defend, are now lost sight of, and
do not weigh in the scale with dirty dollars.
The danger Of the consolidation of the
lGoyerument which it was then so import
liant to guard against and oppose, Is now a
matter OF uncomfortable moment not
worthy of n thought. The fact that the
plan of restoration which he now sustains
Is the overthrow and destruction of the
IConstitution and the establishment of "A
central and grinding dcspotism is unim.
portant; aud the substitute of the negroes
for the whites rs the ruling power Is u
trivial matter. Bangor, fearful and appall-

the devoted south, and To crush the people
to atoms.
"Governor Brown should know that peo-
pie better than to suppose thatlthey can be
SO exclusively controlled by fear, as he
seems to be. Yet his argument Is addressed
wholly to their apprehensions of evil,
which is to come. He loses sight Of the
fact, that the adoption of every measure
proposed, will furnish no guarantees of Sc
%curity against the legislation he so much
threads, That II the Congress really de-
sired that the Southern States should have
