(Voice—“That’s so, Andy, go on.”) Loot at tho course of Great Britain towards the colonics, and compare it with that ot Con gress. Look at tho Declaration of Independence aud see how the acts of Congress are similar to tho course of Great Britain. Then when that Declaration was made, and tho people saw their wrong, they were aroused to gain their freedom. Now, look at our condition.

Wo see Governors of States deposed by Lieuten ants in the army. Let mo toll a story: A party of gentlemen were roeently riding through Rich mond, tho capitol of tho Old Dominion, and seeing a house they asked “who lived thero?"— Tho driver studied awhile, and said, Oh, that’s the gentleman that has the State in charge.”— Think of it. a littlu military man had the Old Dominion in charge! SYMPATHY roll THE DOWN-TRODDEN. Congress recently, during tho latter part of mv term, passed a resolution wanting the Gov ernment to interfere in the Cretan matter, let the Cretes wero governed by a King. Still we are hunting up tho downtrodden and oppressed. Such, indeed, was our history before. You re member how we sympathized with Kossuth, and with Ireland, now struggling for liberty. ( Voice, Tlirco cheers for Feniaus.) During niv time as President, an effort was made to acquiroSt. Thomas, and we have long desired to gain Cuba. But now they havo a rebellion there, and Con gress, seeking out the oppressed and dowu-t rod- don everywhere, is in favor of acknowledging the rebels of Cuba as ft belligerent power.

I want Cuba an nexed, hut I want it dono in accordance with law. I aupposo thoro aro none here but want Chiba annoxod and represented in Congress. NOT A TRAITOE. They say that 1 havo been a traitor to my party. Where havo I violated any pledges? (Voice, never. 1 Whoro was I nominated? Wan it a Radical Convention, a Whig Convention? No. It was a Union Convention. It was a Conati- tutional Convention, and they invited all to come into that Convention. Now examine tho plat form of that Convention. I defy you to put your Auger upon one paragraph of that platform that I have violated. HIS RECOBD HEVIEWED. I replied to the letter notifying me of my nom ination, and I want tho gentlemen who have been falsifying my reoord to recur to that letter. I accepted it as a war Democrat and I urged my old Democratio friendB to some up and join me. I refer to thiB simply to make the record right I stand now as I Btood then, battling for the Un ion and the Constitution of our fathers, but where do some of them stand now?

Where is the proof of it? Whon I suggested that tho State of Tennessee and others should go as far in one year an other States had gone fn fifty years, it was a groat _ad- vance. THE WAR MEN NOW, Now in one more allusion to Mosea, I want to tako up tho account of these new born advocates. It in very easy for men to come in our midst and talk about rebellion, courage and Union, who, while the rebellion was going on wero not within the smell of gunpowder, but were in their closets or some secret place, and became war men when the war was over. I could tell some secrete concerning the state of affairs. Here it was dangerous for a man to bo a Uuion man, there, where the.se men come from, they dare not bo anything but loyal. I should like to take up my sacrifices and compare with these neophitea. I asked a little while ago what they had done for tho colored man. Can any of you tell except to get into the leagues and give you now masters. Don't you know that the leagues are conspiracies the government ? If you arc free, did you become any freer to go in the oathbound leagues and become slaves to new masters? Now when iu a free country you see that these oath hound leagues, you may know they are trying to take away other roeu’o liber ties. These IcngorR will, if allowed to go on, destroy the liberties of the country. BROWN LOW ATTESTS HIS LOYALTY. If I have pardoned so many I ought to be pardoned for some of my errors, but I think, I have sorno evidence of my loyalty. I have a paper which I will read.: Received. Nashville.
