To some of the points, we | are not prepared to yield an unqualified asi sent, but it is nevertheless an able effort. That the constituents of Mr. Brooks may know how he is serving them, and how others , regard him, we subjoin the following extracts. A correspondent of the Carolinian, writing from Washington, says:.
