Tes meson why the sad more earnest fiml-
Inge of hatred to bravery which the rxecutios of
Joni Buowu kindled in the Northers States of the
American Union is not dying out bat increasing is
intensity 1., that the citizens from the first dic
tinguistied between the generous motives of that
'wale mid mu and the calamitous mistake he made
when heehaws insurrection as a means of attaining
his wishes ler the liberation of the African. The
apologista of American Slavery in this cowry, wee
Termini the New Englaudrre as desiring then

not sec, mmt have followed his sneems, have the
mesas of heaving that the assertica is entirely un-
founded. The intelligetos of that rising was
rewired by the tree friends of the negro throughout
the North with profaned regret. It was sena at sees
that the beat thin that weld happen for theism*
of liberation was the poseapt sappressiosi et dist

Bat let as not be misunderstood. If the North
regretted Joon Baowu's enterprise, and could sot
wish him godspeed, it was not for any tenderness
to alaireboldere. The man who holds his fellow-man
in slavery, treats hoe as a chattel, breeds from hie
with so tittle regard for marriage ties as if he were
an asimal—is a moral outlaw ; society may and, or
rimy it finds, its interest in protecting hie life and

Immutable; Jous BROWN rose to vindicate those
rights nu b half of the helpless slave,
and when, having failed in his endeavoars,
he had to listen to his fate from the judges
of Virginia, the condemnation of the court
was to him as the idle wind. lie knew that there
is no power in human society, no trick of wawa-
log assemblies and making laws, and dressing lip
magistrates and judges, which can make it
wives to strike down a slaveholder in order to set
his prisoners free. So far the North sympathised
with him, and will sympathise, as long as there is •
preacher to proclaim that OOD hath made of one
blood all the nations of the earth, as long as thereat,
public teachers to affirm that man made in the image
of Gnu ham a divine right and title to liberty. It is
a disgraceful abuse of language to talk about this

the slaveholdere. Morale new when slavery beers
Conventional manners, or spurious religions stead-

be ; but how talk of morale when the first duty of
man to man is set at nought with daring iniquity!
