ANOTHER CASE OF SYMPATHY-SHALL WE
COMPROMISE WITH THIS, OR CRUSH rive
have just received through the mail, postmarked
"Great Falls, New Hampshire" large print
ed placard which reads as follows:
q Treason All true Christions who believe
in Immortality through Jesus Christ alone,
are requested to pray for Capt. John Brown,
who now is under sentence of death, and is to
be hung next month, for righteousness sake
and doing justly with his fellow-man, his coun-
try, and his God. By request of one who loves
the truth, and feels for the man that is to die
martyr to it. J.
SomersUorth, Nor. 4, 1869"
Now, brother fre-eaters, you who preach to
us compromise with the abominabe heresy :"
of squatter sovereignty, lest we should shock
the Anti-Slavery sympathies of the North, what
say YEP Equal justice to all, is our motto. If
we compromise with squatter sovereignty, we
must make a similar compromise with Ossa
watOmie. For squatter sovereignty is the worse
and more dangerous traitor of the two And
worst of all is the forked-tongued traitor, Com
promise. Yes, verify, and when John Brown
is hung, there shall be two additional scaffolds
erected by the courage and fidelity and con-
servatism of Virginia. Squatter sovereignty
shall hang from the one, and Compromise from
the other, until the Charleston Convention
dead dead "-Richmond Enquirer.
SOUTHERN VIEws.-While the reckless Dem.
ocratic journals of the North are striving to
make political capital out of the abortive effort
of John Brown, at Harper's Ferry, many of the
Southern journals take manly and correct view
of the affair. The Baltimore american says:
{" But it is perfectly idle, to say the least, to
turn such an event into political capital No
party would dream of endorsing these or SINH
lar atrocities, and it is a poor and unworthy
class of tactics that would seek to fasten the re-
sponsibility anywhere else than upon the mis-.
guided actors themselves. Whatever may be
the tendency of their avowed principles, no or
ganizaton, worthy of the name, has ever coun-
selled violent resistance to the law in slave ter.
ritory. There are few demented persons scat
tered over the Northern States-so few that we
might almost enumerate them-Gerrit Smith.
Fred. Douglass, Mellen, if he is still alive, and
two or three more. But there is no party of
respectable dimensions that has a plank in its
platform upon which the late mad foray could
be justified"
The ST. Louis Eoening Neios says:
"The Republican party of the country num-
bers a million and half voters-a majority of
the citizens of all the free States What is to
be gained by denouncing them as aiders and
abettors in the proposed crimes of insurrection,
arson, and murder? Would it not be unjust,
offensive, and highly injurious to the good feel
ing and concord of the nation?
There are fanatics in the North who would
willingly erterminate Slavery by war and rapine
There are fanatics at the South who would will
ingly extend Slavery by war and rapine. Which
is the worse crime in the sight of God and
man? We see no difference and hope to see
all such fanatics themselves exterminated. The
loss of Brown and his party has thiuned out the
Abolition fanatics at the North. Let us not
raise up other fanatics there by indecent abuse
OF innocent men, and endeavoring TO make
them responsible for old Browns crimes"
