The only "men in the East who declare on the

that their only hope of abolishing Slavery IN the
United States lies though Revolution, are the Gar

what regard as utopian hope--a peaceful reyolu-
ton, and quiet disruption of the Union From these
good men, I knor, John Brown received neither aid
nor encouragement in his recent attempt.
