LETTER FROM JOHN CRyIs.

I Pldinfetd, ~. H., 18th mo. 5, 1872.
Dear Brother Orson =" Where is thy
brolhern? Where is thy brother Thomas
Parnell Beach? Has thy clarion fallen ech-
oless from thy lips? If not, then let it ring
out a blast, that shall jar down prison walls.
! Pipe no love chants TO sea, nymphs, amid
/ their carnal groves. Blow blast louder
! than the snort of the storm horse, as be
/ plows through the clouds, and paws the
| lightnings with hoofs of thunder. Peal out
a death woe IN every note, that shall freeze
the hearts Of priests with dismay; and ex-
tort shrieks Of frenzy from the conclaves Of
devils ever which they preside. Howl their
miseries in their ears, as premoniion Of
their swift-speeding doom. The blood Of
] Gcd's servants has aforelime flowed. Ii
! will flow again. Yours may flow. Seek
not TO eVade it by Withholding the truth
To Gay, the PRISONS unmelting bowels re-
strains your brethren from the sweet light
Of heaven, and the pure breath of day.
That doom awaits you | tell You, it will
yet be yours J! ..."....". 49,. r.. ~..:-::
| have been listening for something from
you, in behalf Of your imprisoned brother
! Beach, like the roar of reused lion. Say
not he is in Massachusetts. He Is IN TIE
WORLD! The world expects you TO speak
out on this matter. 1t expects me to speak
out. And the more because it was our
sometime Baptist, an ''qaiet" Quaker sects,
that so far as in them lies, have annihilated
brother Thomas; and have made his wife
/ a widow, and his children orphans. But
they feel that he is terrible ia his DEATH
They know he will yet burst that grated
tomb and emerge clad in The powers of the
Omnipo,ent. They dread his resurrection.
: Brother Murray-you ought to shake the
"seaed bells" of Vermont by your Al pine
/, blasts. Don't wait for the drawling pace OF
, the priest struck Vermont AMI Slavery
Society. 1t ant worth fdrlhing; and never
will be, so long as il is numbered by priest
If indeed it ever can be. | have not much
confidence in organized anti slavery. Il
enSlaves every body it touches. Ii swallows
: up individuality, and destroys the spontaue
. BUSINESS of humanity. All eyes are sight
I less, and all arms folded till the society
moves. Then there are thousands Of droaes
= and beartless hypocrites in The organized
q ranks of antislavery, which would no, b
{ found in the ranks Of true anti-s!avery-
: among those who approve themselves By
l their laOurs. You must wake the dead
e Uncoffin the dead bones of Humanity b.
i your voice; and put tongue into them
: that shall cry like angels against the out
rage upon Thomas P Beach, Where
