Nothing can show this more clearly or authoritatively than the quotations we are making.

We find another little torrent of eloquence from the same Mr.Hamilton Brown above quoted.

He and several other gentlemen rose to reply to the statements of Richard Hill, a friend of freedom, and Secretary of the Special Magistracy.
Mr.Brown--"Mr.Chairman, I am on my legs, Sir.

I say that we have to thank the Special Justices, and the _private instructions_ which they have acted upon, _for all the evils that have occurred in the country_.
Had they taken _the law_ for their guide, had they acted upon that, Sir, and not upon their private instructions, _every thing would have gone on splendidly_, and we should have done well.

But they had _destroyed the negroes with their instructions_, they had _given them bad advice_, and _encouraged them in disobedience to their masters_.
