Parson Brownlow . . .

. . . in a letter to the Young Men’s Republican Union of New York city, accepting an invitation to lecture before that organization, strongly expresses himself in favor of sinking all party views in the great issue of sustaining the Government.  He says he is for Union, though it shall require the coercion or subjugation, or even annihilation of the rebel population of the land.
