This veteran Democrat few days since
made one Of his greatest speeches in the
"Old Wigwam'' in New York The way he
lets into the Traitors will be seen by reading
the following extract from his speech on that
occasion: r
"LoOk at the Republican press during the past
ten or fifteen years See its pages recking with
exciting language and hostile denunciations of
Of slavery. Hear their incendiaty orators dur
ing that time. And even This very day the
same tone of denunciation is going on. Is it
to be wondered at that when so many are
preaching, some should be found to practice?-
that Brown and his associates, with the aid
and encouragement they had received, should
attempt this insurrection in one Of the States of
this cOnfederacy? They are not to get off by
saying it is old Brown mad Brown or Fcraz-
| V Brown Who, ask, in the namo of truth
and justice, furnished the material, the sinevsof
| this terrible war? Old Brown, 'crazy Brown"
and his associates did not. No crazy man ever
laid that Internal plot 1t was done with mur-
derous deliheration. Who furnished the pixies
to be placed in the hands of infuriated blacks
at midnight, to murder their masters and mis-
tresses? Who furnished the arms and muni-
| tons and sped them on their way to inaugurate
! this rrepressible conflict? These questions
will have 10 be answered to the satisfaction of
the American people. Attila the Hun, Who
was denominated the scourge Of God, by reason
of his black and brutal ferocty, declared that
no green grass should ever grow where his
horses feet had trodden. Hyder All upon the
Carnatic left nothing behind his trail but ashes
and blood. But Attila the Hun and Hyder Ali
upon the Carnatic will be regarded, in The great
day, honester men in the sight of God and man
than those that inaugurated that irrepressible
conflict in Virginia .a aassT
1t is no light thing, no matter for mere
nine days wonder that the people of Harper,s
Ferry, in one Of the States of this confederacy
I of peaceful States find themselves suddenly
assailed by desperadoes, and that State sluna-
bering upon volcano. The State that furnish
ed a COMMANDMENTS Chief for the Revolution,
the mother of Presidents, one OF the oldest and
most' faithful, ,one that has discharged all her OBJ
legations, one that had fought side by side with
the Empire State, has been invaded SteaIi hily,
murderourly has the irrepressible conflict been
preparing. g.-Arms and munitions Of war taken
there to be placed in the hands 0t the slaves,
that arson, murder and rape may be committed
This matter had been going on for years, and
eminent men were connected with it, 1t was
no sudden act of frenzed brain, but was
known to men throughout the Free States. If
Brown was madman why was he not denoun-
ced? The secret was well kept till the, storm
burst, blood was shed, and women and children
ran shrieking for protection. Then the bloody
pike was brandished fatal aim was taken upon
the rife, and the rrepressibe conflict was ush-
cred in, not in theory only but in terrible prac-
tce. think that the State Of Virginia has
acted with sufficient deliberation. There seems
to have been fair and deliberate trial / have
great sympathy for the individual sufferers, but
the majesty of the law must be vindicated -
How should we have acted il band of Virgin
ans, dissatisfied with our banking or some 9TH
er institution, had made descent upon us?--
) 1t is about time to pause and reflect. The A
merican people are now called upon to decide
who they will serve-whether they will sup.
port the Constitution in its letter and spirit, or
permit this demon Of destruction to stalk up
rnd down the land. g
