The insanity of Old Brown in supposing
that with nineteen whito men. and five me-
grocs, he could overthrow tho United States
Government, libcrato all tho slaves in tho
South and establish Provisional Govern

fanatics at tho head Of affairs, was desperate
beyond all human experience. But do

siduehoiding States that are trying to make
it appear that the Republican party OF the
country is responsible for Old Brown S
