chuSetts. She will have the double fame OF
having rocked the cradle and bnilt the
tomb of great nation. The Medean tragedy
of Euripides will be more than eclipSed by the
hand of State that slaughters a nation. You

but Virginia is fully justified in preparing for
conflict. Look at the lacs A body of men,
insignificant in numbers invade that State, FUR
nished armed and equipped with thousand
spears TO be put into the hands ofa ServIe race,
to cut the throats OF men, women and children;
orths they always do when they rise against
their masters; and, what is the most appalling
fact of all, those blades were manufactured and
sharpencd in New England, paid for, at least,
in part by contributions taken mp in the chlpches
In that very fremont Temple in Boston, where
so recent the piety of the Old South Church
(he junior pastor) embraced on the some plat
form the blaSphemy of Ralph Waldo Emerson
--in that same church year ago last May John
Brown received contribution from the hands
Of christian men ior the purpose OF murder and
bloodshed, under the thin veil Of "KanSaS oper
ations." Now, they did not know that he wo'd
go to Virginia, but they did know that he was
engaged in murder and robbery in Kansas; and
it is no worse to murder men in one place than
in another. Then the aid ny, ahettng, and ap
probation after the fact, give fearful significance
to the contribution which preceded it. The
Old South Church in Boston, under its wise
and devout senior pastor, has been the central
point conservatism on the subject OF slavery in |
New England; and now its junior pastor joins
hands with the most hitter reyers of the church |
and the nation in order to gority murderer !
simply because he commits the murder on the |
soil Of Virginia and in the name OF freedom. -
This same John Brown dragged five men, the |
heads Of families, from their beds and murder
ed them, as he would dogs by the way side,
and yet one speakar says there are million |
of hearts with John Brown to-day. Why
should not the South be excited? why not arm
and be ready for portion Of bis million Of rca-
dy invaders? Then it is notorious that many
OF the leading papers Of the North have but q
word or Two of mawkish condemnation for the
folly of John Brown, while they print whole
columns ofsncers and sarcasms for Virginia and
the South This state OF things cannot last -
Now. we of the North commit too great mis-.
takes; we meddle when we ought not to-, and
we NEEDLE to the injury of all partes-the

Christian hand of Massachusetts, and in order
to complete great moral reform. If this IS

be? II this is the baptism with water, what
will be the melting heat of the fire which is to
come? is not the folly and the guilt of these
universal reforms open and manifest, when one
OF them has eliminated in Burnham and the
other in Brown. One can hardly tell which is
the more guilty Of the two; probably Burnham
has killed the most persons-and in sly, un-
derhand manner-gVing no chance for sell de-
fence. Would it not be well to gorify Burn
ham as martyr to an idea" He has first
points. No man has ever shown more game"
in his disposition; fettered by no scruples,
bound by no law Of honor, things sacred and
proiane are alike to him; he would cheat the
table as quick as the sick bed; when
caught, he man n'ully and heroically throws all
the blanc upon his subordinate. Why not
blend the martyrs and draw the portraits of
Brown and Burnham together, and then make
