The Harpers Ferry foray the execution Of John Brown
and the struggle for the Speakershp at Washington are
the all absorbing topics Of conversation the New Eng
land States. People living in New York and other large
cities have but little idea Of the feeling manifested in
the rural districts on the subject Of slavery II Is
only by travelling through tho interior and mix
Ing WIN the people, that you arrive at
correct conclusion. Nine.tenths Of the inhab.
tants in New England sympathze with John Brown,
and look upon him in the light of martyr It is true
many republicans condemn the conduct of the % old
hero" as he is universally called but the great majority
Of the sympathzers applaud him to the skies Through
Vermont the latter feeling manifest from BENNINGTON To
St. Adams The Southern threats Of dsunion are every
where treated with contempt. The North they saw has
nothing to lose by dissolution of the Union while the
south would have nothing to gain. In fact they are per-

distant when the citizens Of Vergenncs would tell their

saw John Brown. They might be able TO appreciate
hln now but when the world to see the Old heros
grave aud history had recorded bis glorious acts how
proudly would they excam I" knew John Brown The
neighbors at North Elba said they knew him we'll aud
the speaker had known him for years. but IL seemed
as though none OF them knew him. If they had
called upon God TO create man TO represent the
IDEAS OF the Northern people, divine power could
pot nave given them better example than John
