BROWNLOW'S SPEECH.
The Cincinnati Gazette gives a lengthy ac
count of the reception of Parson Brownlow
in that city, on Friday last, together with his
speech. The speech was delivered at the
Merchants' Exchange, during the afternoon,
in response to an. invitation of a-select com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce:
Mr. Brownlow was introduced to the mem
bers by the president of the Chamber, and
then addressed them as 'follows:
I an sorry, gentlemen and fellow citizens,
that I am not in a condition to make you e
ven a short speech., I have been accuitomed

• however, entered into a loathed diplo
matic correspondenee,with a little, miserable
Jew, named Judah P. Benjamin t the so-cal

ty to believe:that -.T:geitAber,beWerif him.—
This corretendente has never been printed,
although, new that I am at the North, • I
shall take the opportunity to lay it before
the public, - '
. In that correspondence he stipulated to
let me out. •He said I was a had man, •and
a dangerous man to the Southern' Coufedcr
acy ; and, said he, "I have directed Major
George B. Crittenden to send you through
_the-lines to-the-people you-serve: - -- L 'Agreesr, -
said I; "I propose to do for the Southern
-Confederacy what the devil never - did—quit
the country." (Cheers.] About the time
I was ready to start, an inferior officer came
in with a warrant for my arrest: Holding
in my pocket the passport of the Secretary
of War to the bogus Government of the
Southern Confederacy, and the order for my'
removal signed by Crittenden, I declined, to
noette the warrant. This officer, a little up
start named john.C. Ramsey, seized upon
me, and swearing to his own warrant, the
perjured villain, that I had committed trea
son aga inst the State of Tennessee in writing
a cer tain editorial which was published in
the Knoxville lithig, and which, mark you,
was printed 'gay 24, one month before the
ordinance of secession wasTassect, and Teo
nes'see had passed into the Southern Confed
eracy, and yet this - was: treason to the State,
I was taken out.of the hands of the military
authorities, denied a trial, and thrust into
jail on the affidavit of this miserable,. de
balehed• little puke. '
\The brigadier general commanding at
Knoxville came in to see me one day. The
prisoners all rlied around to hear what was
said- -He said": "Brownlow you ought not
to be here." think so too," said , i. 'Now,'
says he, "come along with me and we will
Humphrey, at the court house ' and you can
take the . oath of allegiance to, the Southern
Confederacy." turned round to him at
this insulting proposition. "Sir," said I,
"before I will take the oath of allegiance to
the Southern Confederacy, to obtain my free.
(off], will' rot in jail with .disease, or die
with ohl age, Nay, more—l deny that you
'have a GOvernmene; I deny that you are
authorized to administer the oath of allegi
ance to your rotten mob Government, which
no Power on earth will ever recognize. Be
fore I will do so, I. will see the entire South
ern Confederacy in hell, and you and I on
the top of it. -IGreat cheering.]
That little valley 40 miles wide arid about
60 mileslong, of which Knoxville is the
centre, is fall of such Union men and wo
men. When I eame away, the jail of KneX
vile was full of Union men. I was there in
jail when they tpok my companions out and
hung them. I . did not see "then hung, be
cause this was clone over the hill; but.l saw
them go out,With the black poplar coffins, and
the soldiers `would turn round, and pointing
to Bro*nlow,, would say, "You will swing
next." My reply.was, I'm ready to be hung
and 41J want igime hour under the gallows;
td give the pedigree of these men."
I expected to be hung, and had made * Up
my mind to it. I
,was told that the drum
head court-martial lacked but one vote of
confirming my doom, and that was a vote• of
a Secessionist. No man ever became so near
being hung and was not. One of my com
panions; A. C. Hawn—the gallant' Hawn,
one of the most moral and upright men in
Knoxville, with a wife, and two small
chil
dren—was sentenced to he huno• ° by this
court-martial, and he had but one hour's no
tice to prepare himself. He asked for a
minister of one of the churches in Knoxville
to be sent for, but the reply of the jailer
was: "No d—d traitor in the South has. the
right to be prayed for, and God does not
hear such prayers." Poor Hawn was placed
on the , scaffold, and a miserable, drunken
chaplain of' one of the Southern regiments
was sent to attend him. ,
Just ns they wore about to launch Hawn
into eternity, the chaplain said, 4 'This
unfortunate man desires to 'say that he was
led into committing the acts for which he is
now to atone with his life, by the Union men,
and he is really -anobject-of - pity."
Hawn rose; and in stentorian voice replied,
"I desire to say that every. word that man
has said is false. lam the identical man
-that put - the torch to the timbers' of that
bridge, and lam ready to swing for hi—
ll:Mg, me as soon-as you can."' He saline
wolld do it again - if he kucF this 'was to be
his fate for it: -
.There Arc no -Urrion presses left in the
South, and not a Union editor but one and
that -is myself They have all been bought
up. They offered, ine •large sums of money,
but my reply was, -"Thy money perish with
thee. I see you to the devil first!',
They took ~my. paper, •my- press, .and
typo, and gave me, notice that I should-not
publish any more papers. , I took my friends
advice and my family, and stopped the Whig,
It was the only time in-my life that I ever
gave in, for, like Collins' ram4,l.always had
a head of my own. - - • [Laughter.]

Talking of such concerns 4 it is a , theory of
ours—based upon experience—that a man's
character may be read if we, ascertain how
he conducts himself in reference, especially,
to his little indebtednesses---Lleaving the lar
ger ones to take care of. themselves. In pc:
lities, Jefferson's formula is • comprehensive
enough—"is he honest, is he capable,?,is !he
faithful to the Constitution--?' ; ' : but i pri
vate ascertain if you can, "whether be pays
his debts if he has the money" and you will
perhaps know enough for your guidance.—
Ickte does not, it is certain, at „east, that
there is a screw loose somewhere; and, it is
for you a to determine how far & such looseness
affects the whole fabrics ,
But if, on the contrary, a 'debt unpaid is a
discomfort and an uneasiness,. front -which
spontaneously he is disposed to relieve him
self, fear not to place yourself in such hands.
The axis of thistman's revolutions is true,
and it may be inferred, we think,- , that all
the mechanism.works well; for when there
is a disposition to go wrong, in almost any
direction, it is .2.enerall shown earl in the
xis a °Jess' . •
- Haveao•fitith in that species,of goodness
which is unwilling to pay its debts—"fine
fellow," "good fellow," "whole-soulded fel
low," and that sort of thing=--it ie all non
sense, and worse than.nonsense, , leading to a
belief that honesty, and honor may be dis
penSed.with, and that affection and esteem
may be secured' without them. Is he a
"good fellow," for iustance, who frolicks and
enjoys himself upon money which really he
longs to other people? And is that a "whole
-soul" which, while the washer-w Oman pines
and suffers for want of that which is due her,
the individual with the "whole soul," goes
flaunting about in gay attire from carousal,
and from one place of enjoyment to another?
Have no faith in it; and neither suffer your
self to think well of those who have fine
houses,' fine furniture, and parties, and are
slow to pay for them, andslow likewise in
paying for other things.
Depend 'upon it that this openheartedness,
as people call it, and would have you admire,
is all pelfishness, narrowness and dishonor—
selfishness the most intense-so intense that
'Olen its owe grati4eAtio4 is concerned, it
can . luny itself 11 nthiiigrilii-matter-hoV-duity
may 'remonstrate. He is a much setter fel
low-than all these, who goes thread bare and
refuses indulgence until hecan stand siiiiare
with the world, though reckless proftision
may deride him as them"; for you may rely
upon it that he 4sumes no responsibilities
except from a well founded belief that he be
able to meet them- He is th an that pays
his debts, if a possib exists of paying
them;lnd we strongly incline to the convic
tion that a debt-payin man is one - of the
best members of society, and that he should
thus be honored. Let Ili all, then, "pay
our debts."—J. C. .Areal.
Horrible Deed.
The Norfolk Day Book states that a most
horrible deed w,as committed recently by a
widow lady of Appomattox county, Virginia
named Mrs. Sinclair, while laboring under a
fit of derangement, Conecivik,a. as she said,
/that herself and little boy, aged about five
years, wcatld die in a.short time from starva
tion, she marled the boy to an upper room
of her house and hung him by the neck from
a joist, and then attempted to cut her own
thrjat with a razor. She,however,:_•_was
prevented by the timely presence of some
member.of the household from taking her
own life, but not until she disclosed it her
self, was the hanging of,her little boy made
known—she making the request that some
one should go up stairs and see if' her boy
had not been hanging bug enough.. Upon
going up stairs it was found ' that the little
boy had been hanging at least an hdur,. •his
feet a short distance frozn the floor, and that
life was entirely extinct. The poor demen
ted mother, iLis said, appeared ,delighted
when informerof the fate of her child, and
only re'greted that she had not succeeded in
taking her own - life. • •• - .

,The remark was
the signal of a lull ip the conversation, and
all eyes were turned upi • ni the

He stood with his lips firmly. compressed
and his eyes looking fully into those of Mrs.
Polk as lung as she spoke.' then . said
".Madali, the man whose name you bear
was once the President' of the United States;
he was an honest man and a true patriot; he
administered the laws of this Government
with equal justice to all. We know no

which, does not belong to ail others;'' and
judging by the past, if the mute lips of : the
honored dead, who lies so - near us, could
speak, they would exldess the hope that this
war might never cease, if that cessation was
. purchased by the dissolution.ofthe Union of

needless to say, the_effeck was electrical,
made, as - tb. remark was; in a calm, dignified
tone, and with that earnestness for which the
General is noted; no offence could be taken.
Southern independence was not mentioned

and couldn't stop. lie has used up his wa,
ges, and wants more .money. He cannot re
sist the temptation when he knows there is
money in the drawer. He. has got agoing—
he will stop in the prison!,
Some young then were, 'some yeirs ago, in
the habit of meeting together in a-room at a
public house 'to enjoy themselves.' One of
them as he was going there one eve.ning,aie
gan to think there might be danger. , in: the
way, He stopped and considereda_momet
and - then siddlci - himself, 'Right about face!'
He tutned. on his heel and wbut to his room',
and was never scent the public house wain.
He has become rich. Six of the young men
followed his example. The rest got agoing
and could not stop till they.landed, most of
them, in a drunkard's grave. Beware then,
boys, how yon pet ageing. Be Sure . before
you start that you are in the right way, for
when you are sliding down hill it is Laid to
stop!
ADVAIIT'AdEB OF LABOR.—There is. a very
false notion in the world respecting , employ
ment. Thousands imagine that if they could_
live in idleness they would be perfectly haii
py. This is a great mistake. •Every indus
trious man and woman knows that nothing
is so tiresome as being unemployed. During
some seasons of' the year we have holidays,
,and it is pleasing on this occesion to see the
operative enjoy himself; butwe have gener
ally found that,•after two or .three days'.'re
creation,. the diligent mechanic or' laborer
becomes ,quite nnhappy.. Often •he sighs
over the wretchedness of being idle. - The
fact is, We are made to labor, and•our
,nfoWandh:
comfort, lappiness - depttid - iiriation.
Whether we look at our bodies or ,examine
our minds, everything' tells us that our Cre
ator intended that we should be actiVe.---
Hands, feet, eyes and mental power& show
that we were born to be doing. If we had
been made to be idle, a very large portion of
ourbOdily and mental faculties would be re
dundant. " • • •
