At Black Republican meeting at Mon.
roe, Green county, Wisconsin, on the 3lst
ult., the following resolution was adopted !:
ResolUed, That it is the duty of the North,
in case they fail in electing President and
a Congress that will restore freedom to Kan
sas, to reuolutionize the Government"
The Poughkeepsie IN. W Telegraph
states that it's editor heard, few days ago,
a black republican political clergyman make
the following declarations
Ipray daily that This accnrsed Union may
be dissOLved, even If blood has TO be split"
In the Pittsburgh Convention, a few
months ago, after prayer by the Rev. Mr..
Lovejoy-
"Rev. Mr.. Brewer, of Connecticut said
he was in favor of using firearms, and fight
ing for freedom in Kansas.
"Rev. Mr.. Chandler said he believed that
Sharpe's rifles were the best peace makers,
there was no danger too many of them
would be introduced into Kansas.
"Rev. Mr.. Lovejoy was willing to go Ell
ther as Captain or private. He would use
Shurp's rifles and fire tOith good aim u"
In the "Church of the Holy Rifles" soon
after, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who
is the chief chaplain of the "freedom-shriek-
ers' and an ardent advocate of the election
of Col. Benton's son-in-law, who distin-
guished himself by capturing "woolly
horse" in the Rocky mountains, said
~ hold 1t to be an everlasting disgrace 10
shoot at a man and nothit him"
On the same occasion, the same preacher
of the gospel of the meek and lowly JESUS,
said she had never heard of but one COM
promise which he thought was good one ; ,
and that was contained in an answer which
he alleged Robinson, the bogus Governor
of Kansas,h had made to Governor Shannon 8
demand for surrender of the Sharp's RI
fes held by the people of Lawrence which
answer he stated to be-
"Well, sir, in regard to the rifles, Ipro-
pose to compromise--we will keep the weap-
ons ourselves, but QiUe you the contents :"
s." That compromise, ,'-continued Rev.
Mr.. Beecher,-I think would work !"
. The New Haven Palladium says:
"The champions Of freedom will see that
the shareholders are kept busy-and they
lciH see that the SLAVES are liberated and put
in a condition to take care Of themselves.
The Lowell Courier says:
"Brooks ought TO be shot down like
beast"
In one of the churches Of Detroit, last
Sunday evening, "a fearless and faithful
minister of CHRIsT"-as the Tribune styles
him-preached an abolition sermon, in
which he remarked as follows:
"Before would see popular sovereig nty
wrested by force from the people Of the ter
ritories, referring to the determination Of
the authorities to enforce obedience to the
laws l ,Oould hauc the plains Of Kansas
silent NTH unircrsal death. Before would
have the lips of our Senators and Represen-
tatives sealed in craven silence by the hand
Of southern violence, referring to the casti-
cation bestowed upon Sumner by Brooks
for personal, not political, reasons / ioould
sec the halls Of COngress unkIc deep in blood"
These uttorances show the sentiment by
which the black republican party is anima-
ted. Can any lover Of the country lend the
slightest aid toward the elevation of such a
party to power
