his "gaflant re ative,' when Toombs, Jones,
OF Iowa, aud others have expressed their
approval OF the brutal and cowardly as.

Everything existing has lis object, its
mission. That Of Slavery is todehle what
ever it touches-ideas IS well as matter,
words az well as men. The word Chissl-

would invade a sanctuary and make treaeh-
erous and murderous assault upon an unsus.

proach as they did the plague; more even
than a leper be would have been an outlas
aud an outcast. 1t would have been dis
honor to ride the same path, contamination
