Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The mention of the name of the veneer
able Governor of Tennessee, causes to
pass before my minds eye, the grand and
busy panorama of State entering upon
new era of prosperity, power and happi-.
ness
The people of this regenerated common
wealth whea the hour of partisan blind
ness shall have passed away, will erect q
fitting monument inscribed to BroWnlow,
the friend of our grand Railroad Exten,
sion, the advocate of equal rights and the
founder of our free school SYSTEM.
Other public men require the aid of a
trumpeter to herald their praises contin-

Brownlow's works are his noblest
| praises. s rr

laundering Railroad trains bearing off to
distant markets the rich treasures of our

these are the works of one. no longer in
the vigor and flush of manhood, but in

life falls upon him. ssas
The historian will paint in brilliant col

mortal representative Of the patriotism o.
East Tennessee, man whom neither
golden brides nor friendly persuasions

military power, nor the yells of frenziet
