the Constitution and laws, and trusted as
the representative Of the State OF New.
York, in the highest and most dignifed
body in the national government. Ought
mol 10 haus been toldl Really, this is an oul
rage upon honesty aud patriotism, winl-
ing at treason, scarcely less culpable thar
the acts of Brown himself. And this SANS ,
Senator Seward is the trusted leader Of a
great political party, whose speeches and
whose counsel to his followers, teach the
same doctrines which Brown has attempts
10 carry to their practical cSnelnsibn.
Mark date, May lst, 1858, almos, eigh
teen months before the outbreak at Har-
per's Ferry, WilIian II. Seward, the leae.
er of the Republican party in lie Union, icf
whose benefit the elecior, Of New York ot O.
urged 10 elect the Republican Stale tick, %
now in nomination, was informed Of ils
plans and system proposed, and ins,eal ri
indignantly denOuucing il, he regretted III
he had been told, and six months afier@sfGs
made speech at Rochester virtually e.
dorsing and encouraging the scheme.
But Mr.. Seward is not the only Senator
Of the United States who was privy 10 tbs
reasonable scheme. Hear what FORBES
further writes. A difficulty had arisen a.
bout pecuniary compensation TO Forbes, by
which his family could be supported while
he served the Anti-slavery cause. Forbe!
became imporIunate for money. The com
mitee, of which F. B. Ssnborn, of Concord
Mass, appears 10 have been Secretary or
Treasurer, (the same F. S. B. whose re-
miltances TO Brown have been noted in the
correspondence already published ] failed 10
meet his demands, and he wrote 10 DR..
Howe as follows:
WAsHINeros, April le, 1853.
To DR.. S. d. Howe, NJ. D.. Boston, Mass.
SIR-Senator Sumner has read 10 me
your answer 10 the letters he wrote 10 you
in accordance with his kind offer TO get this
matter ''put straight" He wished to ef-
feet that object, and judging OF his New
England friends by his own feelings hS
thorsht 10 get justice done TO me:
Thus it appears that Mr. Charles Sum-
ner; Senator of the United States, privy
to the arrangement, and inierpossd his good
Offices 10 secure justice to Forbes; in other
words, as he expressed it, 10 have matters
put straight with that individual. In
this, however, he failed; money not being
very abundant with the conspirators, and
Forbes by this time a little wanting in their
confidence. From Horace Greeley, For:
bes got even less satisfaction than from Sen
ator Sumner; for Greeley told him fatty
that such promises never were kept, and
lie ought not 10 have trusted 10 them for d
moment.
But there was another U. S. Senator in
The plot. Hon. John P. Hale, of New
Hampshire, is an Abolitionist.of long stand
ing, but in this plot he is not thus far so
deeply implicated as Seward and Sumner!
Mr.. Forbes writes:
AccIpEETgL MEETING WITH JOHN P. HALE
Having made several inefIectGal attempts
TO get a quiet conversation with Senator
John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, | met
him accidentally on Sunday morning. I
could not then enter into the details of John
Browns project; therefore confined my
self icexplaining the urgency CT sending
erlief 10 my family.
Here is evidence that Forbes appealed
10 Hale 10 see that justice was done him,
and his family provided for while be labors
in the cause; but 10 prCoi that Hale actually
was informed OF the details of the scheme,
as was Seward, 10 whom Forbes SAYS he
''went fully into the whole matter" Tbs
inference, however, is that the New Hanp-
shire Senator was not quite in the dark
upon question in which he may be sup
posed to have deep interest.
win The people of The United States sus.
tain party whose leaders countenance and
uphold treason, and wink al theft and mur-
der? viii The electors Of New York en-
dnrse such principles and such action at the
ensuing election? We trust moi. We trust
their verdict may be SO emphatic that Sc
ward will not hereafter need 10 be told
what is going on in the political world.
