The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1859-11-14

Political liberty and religious freedom walk
hand in hand in Tuscany under the new provis-
1onai government. From letter in The Athengun
we learn that Protestant sect, known as the
Italian Evangelical Church-which up TO the fine
when the Grand Duke was forced to hy from
Florence, had been compelled to worship in pri-
vate, and keep even its existence as far as Dos
s'ble, secret from the worlds now rapidly de-
veloping its strength. 1t seems to be simnlv a
religious society," without an organized priesthood
holding doctrines similar to those of the association
known in England as the Plymouth Brethren. Its
converts are said to be numbered by thousands in
Romagna, and its meetings are fully attended
every Sunday in Florence. A few weeks ago. two
of its members were married, in the presence of a
large assembly, and this first Protestant Tuscan
marriage appears to have been looked upon
with considerable interest. Until this time such
unions have been invalid but they have been late
ly sanctioned by the laws, which now protect all
creeds alike. fthe Revolution had done nothing
more than this it would still be entitled to the
gratitude of future generations In throwing DOVE
the barriers. beyond which human onipions bora
been heretofore prohibited from straynp il has
done the world good service. Thought bav-
ing once escaped from the contracted limits =
which it was hitherto confined, cannot easily be
RENTED into captivity. The Grand Duke NAV re-
gain his throne and replace his cannon ON the
ramparts of the Bevidere, but he cannot undo that
which has been done. He can no more eradicate

THE INSANITY OF GERRIT SMITH.


gentleman who saw and conversed with Gerrit
Smith, shortly after the affair at Harper's Ferry,
told us that he was insane-not merely excited by
fear and agitated by the emotions which his COM
pllclty in the affair might produce, but mentally
deranged. Ills eye was wild and his appearance
haggard, and his motions spasmod;c and uncertain,
but increasingly restless.
He was in constant fear of being arrested and
carried to Vrginia-and suspected his friends of an
intention to betray him into the hands of Justice
When the cruel electioneering hoax was circulated
that Governor Wise had issued a reouisition upon
Governor Morgan for him as a fugitive from Justice,
he seems to have become so frantic that his friends
saw no other hope than to send him to an ASYLUM.
We make an extract from private letter upon
this subject, which gives some particulars of this
sad end OF well-meant but misdrected career
fatal in its consequences alike to him. and to ali
whom he involved in his fanaticsms
A letter from Utica says:
urICA, Nov. S.-My Dear Sir Gerrit Smith was
brought to our asylum yesterday, and is quite de-
ranged, Intellectually we'll as morally, and he is
also feeble physically. He refused to take an auo-
dyne, alleging that they wanted to put him to sleep
tor the purpose OF boxing him up and taking him to
virginia. When informed that he must take it.
voluntarily or by compulsion, he opened the door
and screamed (into the hall) 81 protest!' He then
took it. deem his madness a sign of the times
lie Is a victim to the excitement which he helped
to make general, and which, in various degrees is
now pervading all the free States. 1t is much akin
to the excitement against witches that prevailed at
Salem and other parts of New England, and the
time will come when our descendants will look back
at 1t as we look back the doings in Salem. lam
not sure but that the Harper's Ferry outbreak will
intensity the excitement.
