The Banning Record.

The Blacb-aud- Brown Republicans are a.
shamed to acknowledge the Harper's Ferry In
surgents as their brothers and some OF them de-
nounce Old Brown and his dupes in good set
terms. At a meeting in New York, the other
night, MIR. James 4. Briggs even went so far
as 10 say that De would lang anybody as high
as Haman who should 90 Sonlh and deliberate
" attempt to iDc.te insurrection. But the
Back Republicans cannot blot out the dam
Ming record of their reasonable utterances-
uttprances, which in other times and in other
lands, would have brought their authors to the
gibbet and the dungeon, Below, we subioin a
few OF the sayings OF the distinguished lights Of
the many-hued Republican Party, omitting
those OF the crazy men and women who are
ranked as distinctive Aboittionists-the Gar
risons, the DoUglasses, and the Abby Kelleys.
