[Fr orn the Montgomery Moil ] There is much sound aeasa and sagacious reflection in Uoveraor Brown's ine-sags? much which, at this time, is worth the attention af our people.

The measure lias bbori mo unfavorably received through thu country, and there really appears to ba so little Oceanian for it, that wo have no doubt Congress will at an early day, during the coming session, repeal the act. What Governor Brown mays about peacf is not only true but wise, and alamps him a sagacious statesman. The awoid and the olive branch must accomplish the works I conjointly ? neitlior nloaa run !? urges (hat tha w nr b# vigorously carried en und thai Ihe last man and the last dollar U? voted far it* energetic prosecution. At the same liiae ho suggests that our moral sympathy be thrown in favor of the party at the North new engaged in a great struggle to expel Ijncoln from office. Me advocates holding out the olive braecli to that party expressing n willingness, should hey get into office, to treat w ith them for an honor* nble peace. Me gooa farther, aad acquits these conservative m-n at the bar of history ef the great crime against Christianity and civilization ef having brought on the war, and bids them God apeed in their good work of thrustieg Lincoln and his ce devils frem power. In this particular the points of Governor Brown's message are well taken, and will da good. We cannot believe he meditataa any celiision with the flichmoed authentic*. er will fail to do all that lays in his power to strengthen and support the President in a uieat earnest prosecution ef the war.
