A Rev. MIR. Foss OF the most notable sneako,,

him to have been often jokirg. He said he set,

his body poisoned in the National Hotel and his srI

(Mr. Foss) said, he desired TO have treason. When
government becomes oppressive there is no o,hp,
name under heaven by which man can be savei
than the name OF traitor. George Washington was
traitor, Jesus Christ was traitor the APOSTLE PanI
was traitor to oppressive government and infdes
to false churches, and he Mr.. Foss) was traitor 10

Mr.. Garrison could not help remarking this morning
the large number of people who went away when

was cowaldly and mean. He confessed that the
prospect was gloomy. The people were poisoned as
with the bite OF rattesnake, and every attempt to
resuscate them seemed 10 be abortive. The abol
onists appealed 10 the conscience of the people, but
there seemed to be no conscience to appeal to. He
would begin to think they were approaching ubi.
