BRorHERs Though separated from you by
a wide extent of country, and many inter-
vening obstacles which prevent a personal
interview, yet the mind recognizes no such
barriers, but hastens on the wings of love 10
visit you in your lone prison house.
We are not ignorant Of the cause Of your
imprisonment, and therefore, rejoice to claim
you as brethren in the holy cause of Liberty
and Human Rights. Though your prison
may be dark and no%isolne, and its massive
walls frown terribly upon you, and though

NAL abode, nor the sweet air of Heaven fan
your brows, yet there are rays diverglng
therefrom which show the darkness of the
deeds done there. A voice proclaims that
you are in prison in the Capital of this Great
Republic. The sound, as though borne on
the Southern breeze 10 our Northern borders,
enters the Sacred Sanctuary of every home,
and proclaims the unwelcome news, that in
the persons Of Drayton, Sayres, and English,
their own hearth-stones have been violated,
their own sons imprisoned and in chains
And all this for what! For obeying the
dictates of the highest, the noblest feelings
Of our nature for assisting those who were
anhungered, athirst and imprisoned, and to
such Christ hath said, "Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, ye have done it unto me-"
Brothers, though we feel a deep sympathy
for you, and much anxiety for your physical
condition. knowing the necessity of Highland
air to all Gods creatures-both of which he
has bestowed most beautifully, but which
men have in their wicked ness dared to deal
out to you with a sparing and misery hand,
yet we believe the blessings of Him that
was ready 10 perish, will be upon you, and a
Gracious God will be your just Judge
Think not that your brethren and sisters at
the North are unmindful of your sufferings,
or look with indifference on the deep inju-
ries inflicted upon you. Though the mar
tyr's lot may be yours, and the fate ofsYesrey
await you, still Liberty will have its victory,
and slavery its doom. Be comforted with
the thought that you nave broken the links,

united, and the letters again riveted, yet these
will be the more readily broken, when some
hand more fortunate than yours, shall be ex-
tended to break them asunder.
The car of Emancipation has been sent
onward by your movements; and though its
progress may be somewhat retarded, by the
booming of the cannon and the martial array,
which on this day procIaims a festival in
honor of a nations birth, yet be assured these
sounds will in the future be changed to re.
