Now TIE question naturally arises, was this
perpetrated by our Republican friends who,
ashamed to CO me up to the scratch themselves,
thus whip the "devi around the stump" and
endeavor TO hide in the actions of their sable
friends, the darker sentiments OF their own
hearts That JonN BRowN, the horse thief,
Niger stealer, ira itor and murderer is to- da,
the idol of the Republican party. and martyr
to their principles, they do not deny. aud the
gallows upon which he justly swings is by
these sacrlIigious fanatics placed SIDE by eide
with the sacred tree upon which the Savior Of
mon suffered The light in which the Repub.'
lican party look upon this execution can he
trac. in the following assertion made by one
Of their most pro minent members last evening
" FIFTY years from now John Brown ,ciU be
" looked upon as the greatest mdn that ever iped.
" AND THE LAuRELs oF WARRINGTON SHALL BE LIFT.
" ED FROM HIS UNWORTHY BROW and placed
"upom the head Of that blessed martyr, JOHN
