him in these words:-"Read the above and then
ten the shareholders that republicans have no
sympathy with Brown, and no responsibility
for his deeds. What will they think Of yous"
Senator Wilson says the intelligence of John
Browns raid came at first upon the North, in
Guiding himself as surprise They "regaId-
ed il merely as a strike of workmen." But
what does honest Wright let out in his letter to
John Brown Immediately before his execution.
He says :-"We have felt the deepest interest
in your plans and movements, as zoe haze kao,ou
and aoatcaed them for the last four gears; and
we have wondered that those who hold to
armed resistance to tyrants have not more
cheerfully and numerously gathered around
your standard of instruction against slave
holders" He says the same thing in his letter to
the Richmond Enquirer. viii any one pretend
to say, after these revelations, that Wilson was
not in the secret, as well as his friends Wright
and Garrisons Can Wilson himself deny it?
Ii he does, we have to ask him another ques-
ton, and we hope some Senator villa repeat it
to him in the Senate chamber. 1t is this Does
he endorse or does he repudiate the lecture Of
William Lloyd Garrison, delivered in Boston
ON Tuesday evening last, and copied in our CO.
lumns to-day from the Alias and Bee, q leading
organ Of republicanism? SIN $780," says Mr..
Wright, Garrison sounded the tocsin Of ias,u-
rection and rerol,aion against shareholders and
all that sustains them" Wilson, in his speech

slavery and by his acquiescence in the pro-
ceediDgs of the Natick meeting he endorses it,
for instruction and melting to instruction
were there proclaimed right and duty. Gar
rison, in his lecture on the Goth inst. calls the
horse thief and the assassin of Widow Doyle's
children ga devoted martyr" and says that he
simply endeavored to remove Virginia g
cancer that IF our revolutionary faith
ers were justified in rebeiling against the
mother country, then all the slaves of the
South would be thousand times more justified
in rebelling against the Shareholders, and
striking home for liberty John Brown fashion"
"The South" he adds, lis vast bedlam of
lunatics and idiots" 81 say there is no Union.
A bloody oligarchy rules over us, and it is
therefore time for US to separate" II say, in
the language Of Governor Banks, that think
the time has come for us to let the Union
Slide"
Are these the sentiments Of Senator Wilson,
Of Massachusetts, The report says:-"In con-
clusion, Mr.. Garrison alluded to the condition
Of affairs in Congress, where the Northern
members dared not avow their sympathy with
the anti-slavery movement" There can be
little doubt that he referred to the Natick
cobbler, who secretly encourages insurrec-
ton, and Garrison and Wright, and other
men of the stamp Of John Brown; but in the
Senate, in the presence Of men of courage and
honor, disavows the connection and protests
his loyalty. In the same way, on the eve of
the breaking out of Cataline's conspiracy to
overthrow the republic Of ancient Rome, that
traitor, who was also Senator, denied, in the
Senate House, the charges of treason brought
against him by Cicero, at the very time that
his lieutenants were mastering his insurgent
army in the field.
