A WORD IN SEASON.

Extract of a Sermon, preached in the Baptist Church, y.tsr.
ford N. " Nov, Ii, by the Rev. II A. GUILD
a few years ago, an aged man of God, widely
known and highly esteemed for his many noble
qualities OF head and of heart, who had in good
part LED the life OF a pioneer, subjected to all its
rigorous trials, vicissitudes and reyerses. mas
much as there had been thrown open to the peo-
pie of this country an extensive and fertile domain.
to seek a new home in that new land.
lie did not purpose going there an idler, but to
busy himself in unbosoming mother earth. and
drawing rom her the means of subsistence for
himself and family dependents. His determine
ton to emigrate was quickeued by the fact that
by a wicked and inexcusable stroke of government
tai l~egerdemain, q solemn compact of mapy years'
standing had been ruthlessly broken and DESTROY
ed, and Freedom was in consequence imperilIed
lie was a freeman. In his veins coursed the
truest of Li5erty's blood. And is it strange that
be desired to surround his new home with the
elements and the essence of freedom 4? Soon az
ter accomplishing his journey. and while, one
evening. seated with his family, around the
hear'h-stone,, the rafting Of horses hoofs and the
clangor Of resounding arms were heard. Soon.
his dwelling was reduced 30 ashes by a lavless
pro-slavery mob, and his daughter subjected to
indignitie5 and cruelties fend.sh in the extreme.
Following this came the murder OF a son-then of
another and the old man barely escaped with
bis own life. He was left alone 10 that distant
land. Nay. not alone flor God was with him
The veterans heart was moved, and his sinevs
waxed strong as steel. lie went forth aad brave
ly and successfully battled for the Right; vet
there appeared no vindictiveness in his mien; and
he repaid wrongs with kindness--cancelled the
shedding of his children's blood by giving freedom
to the sable victims of the most superla,ivs piracy
man has ever known. But here the curtain
drops, and the old man passes from general view
for months. At length, he reappears in a section
of country at one time. in terms, at least, couse-
Grated to liberty. but now a sort Of outpos, to q
wicked and unmerciful despotism. The old mans
personal appearance is materially chapged-his
locks are winter, his cheeks more sunken, and a
settled melancholy o'srspreads bis countsnauce.

AN IMPORTANT CASE,

Our readers will remember the case of a Mary.
lander named Myers, who kidnapped some colored
men at Carlisle, in this State, and carried them
into Maryland and who was afterwards arrested
on this side of the Pennsylvania line and held to
answer. AT the November term of the Cumber-
land County Court he was indicted for kidnappinp.
and put upon his trial. The prosecution was con-
Quoted by Judge Watts and A.. B. Sharpe. ESQ.
while Myers was defended by William Ii. Miller.
ESQ., OF Carlisle, and Bradley T.. johnson, ESQ.
OF Frederick; Jonathan Meredith, ESQ.,, appeared
as counsel for the State of Maryland, by appoint
ment OF Gov. Hicks. The trial excited n great
deal Of interest, and as it involved some impor-
tans questions, which may hereafter become issues
between the TWO States, we refer to it at more than
usual length.
Inc three men arrested at or near Carlisle bv
Myers who is a professional slave catcher. were
arrested upon the p~retence that they were fuei-
tive slaves, and were delivered to those who claim
ed to be their owners. Myers, after delivering
them up, was en.iced over the line, near which he
resides, by a flaming handful Offering large re-
wards Tor more ~fugitives, and was there arrested
by the Sheriff of Cumberland County. 1t was a
part OF the plea of the defence that he was enticed
over by "fraud and decertion."
Upon the trial, which came off last weak i,
was proved and admitted that one Of the negroes
was the slave of Hoffman, of Frederick county.
and that Myers was duly authorized to capture
him; that he did SO, and restored him to his
owner. 1t was also proved and admitted that the
TWO other slaves were manumitted in 1854 bv the
VIII OF their owner, but that in February. 1858.
Toe Orphans Court of Frederick county. under
Inc law OF Maryland, passed an order directing
the executor to sell them for a term of wears to
pay debts, and that shortly after the passage of

restored them to their owner; that after the death

THE CRIME OF OLD BROWN

This is the designation which a large portion of
the press apply to the conflict at Harper's Ferry.
We protest against such abuse of language. Is it
not enough that the brave veteran who dared to
strike for Liberty, lie struck down by the hirelings
OF slavery, and now lies wounded and helpless in
the prison of malignant and cruel foes, doomed to
q speedy death. And will the Northern press. and
especially that portion of it which is not sold 20
the Slave Power. but processes sympathy with
freedom and true republicanism, permit itself to
share the guilt of that great sacrifice to the Moloch
Of Slavery, and like the base multitude about the
foot of the cross, rovile the dying martyr. "Tbe
crime Of Brown"H Is it thus that the bravest ef-
fort of our age, prompted by the purest motives
that ever swelled the breast of humanity, must be
designated, and that 200 by papers which profess
republcanism, and whose editors cheeks burn
with shame and self reproach while they print the

The contrary is the fact. The popular heart of
the North pulsstes with syn. patty for Brown
The people are not so servile as the politicians
sdppose. Nineteen Twentieihs of the men, and
all the women, in our free land would have reioi-

universal talk in our streets, our shops and our
houses. Why fear to print il. Will i. hurt a par

utter. Let US write the truth upon our banner.
and "by this We shall corquer."
What was the "crime' Of Brown? That he
raised his hand against the giant crime of the na-
ton That he set himself forth, like Abdiel
%'iaith'ul among q million faithless," a champion
for the truth. Like Wallace, like uampden. like
Sydney, Ike Warren, but still more like the noble
army of Martyrs who have str:ven and suffered
not for their own good but for that of others. he

person, see ye to it." As a republican, we claim
at least this protest from the party. Let no mar
who claims to be a republican disclaim sympathy
and fellowship with Brown. Let no payer which
is not openly and confessedly sold to slavery, OF
striving to be sold, speak of Browns attempt as Q
crime. 1t was to put down the great ghastly

age, that he gave his life. He is Victorious

Brown dies victorious. lilo has done his part.
lie has not done all DO meant, but he has "done
the best his circumstances allowed, and angels
could do no more" He has inflicted q wound
upon the Apollyon of Slavery, slight it is true,
but important in this, that it has shown how vul-
nerable the monster is. This hideous idol which
has set itself up as the god Of our land, which
lords it over our consciences, which utters its bias
phomies even in our eanctuaries, which thrusts its
bloody coce in our courts, scouting the higher law
of God and Of justice-this demon, whose food is
the fruit of lash-driven labor, whose sport is cru
city and whose lusts violate all the virtues and de.
ceincies of life, whose highest idea of courage is
the b~utchery Of the defenceless, whose chivalry is
assassination, whose mission is to make the fair
est portion of our land a desert, where no worldly
prosperity nor moral worth can ever flourish, and
whose poisonous breath taints orr northern dir,
debases our integrity, furnishes our honor, and
bewilders our moral interchangeable unclean,
blood-gorging hydra is wounded. The age-strick-
en- but resolute man has made an effective thrust.
The coward monsters Shrieks have proclaimed it's
weakness. It's prestige Of power, and pretencc of
seJ-refidnce is orerfhroacn. Other hands and in
other ways will finish the victory. Yet never will
Browns heroic service be forgotten. His name
will be enrolled among Freedoms bravest leaders,
and when the last battle shall be won, and our
land finally freed from the last trace of Slavery,
then future Virginians, worthy Of she name, will
build the tomb of the martyr Brown, and place
his statue with those of Washington, Henry and
Jefferson, and say "This was the noblest Roman
of them ALL"

NEW MAP.-W e invite the attention
of our readers to the advertisement of a new Map
of Cass County, which is soon to be published by
Messrs. Giel, Harley Siverd. They have already
published maps of Calhoun, Jackson, st. Joseph,
Hillsdale and other counties in this State, which
have met with unqualified favor from all who have
examined them. Considering the superior charac-
ter of the work. and its usefulness and the expense
of labor, time and money, necessarily incurred in
perfecting it, think it is deserving of the most
liberal patronage. We hope our citizens will inter-
est themselves in this valuable work, and give ii
an encouragement worthy of themselves and OF
