valuable paper Of the Sd inst that some individual In

church, dedicated to tho lord Of Hosts has be-
come resort for the young people Of your cities to
gather to be amused and entertained by the udcrou and
eccentric speeches Of this remarkable ultra rantng
orator We have read his last abolition effort, and
would desire the prayers Of the clergy deacons and all
good Christians, In his behalf believing he has become
thoroughly mad the Harpers Ferry insurrection mat
ter that he may be restored to and the sacred
Office Of preaching Christ crucied TO the poor and
needy, love and charity TO his Christian followers His
mental popgun received terrible injury consequent upon
the failure Of the late nsurrecton, and finally exploded
under the effects and efforts OF euiogizng the principal
actor in the scene whom he holds the contemplation
Of the plastic minds Of youth character worthy
Of emulation and all imitation; and with the example Of
an nsurrectonst, traitor and murderer, stima-
lates his hearers 70 accordingly set at defiance
the laws Of a counry's government not consistent
with their views and feelings We would most respect
fully ask clergy II to be taught from the ga
cred desk the slavery Of sin and the Of escape

and that f the people Of Virginia had the power consis
with law, they would let Old Brown go free If he
would promise not 10 say anything about it, Sc AS
citizen Of Weston and as virginan pronounce this
statement calm and deliberate falsehood, and gross
outrageous slandcr upon the sentiments opinions
Of the people Of Lewis county. 1t is truc
that our people always act in "con-
sistent with law;' but is at the same time
that they loyal TO the institutions Of the STATE and
feel justly ncensed and indignant at tho diabocal attempt
of old Brown and others to incte among serve in
surrcction The writer whoever he may be- no doubt
sympathzer with the Of this "rrcprcssble
fic and deserves fate similar If not worse, than that
awaiting Brown and his confcderates.

bread make this demand, not In my name alone,
put IN the name OF tho citizens Of my town and county
