Fund for old srown'. aenent.

The Northern Aboliiionists are getting up fund for
the benefit Of Old Browns family will be seen by the
following extract from Greeleys 7riB,as
We overwhelmed with letters urging that fund
should be made up for the bereaved destitute families
John Brown and his sons and asking receive con.
trihuons in their behalf Whatever has been or NAV
be for this purpose shall be handed over to Mrs
Brown; but prefer that contributions should take
some other channel. The proposition Of Mr.. Thaddeus
Hyatt seems to us by far the Git and feasible of any
that has vet been suggested Each dollar sent to Mr.
Hyatt will secure Photographic mot engraved) likeness
OF John Brown TO the gvcr and surplus over the bare
cost Of phooEraphng OF sevenyve eighty cents for
lis afflicted family. We believe there ten thousand
persons who will gladly obtain good likeness of Old
John at this rate, which would give his family including
the widows and children of his sons, $500 to
5000. Mr.. Hyats integrity and devotion to freedom
and humanity widely known. and every dollar sent

NEW YoRS, Nov. 10, 1859.
The Herald has the following remarks on this new
Abolition move:
Nowmone is the sinews of war; and when we take in
TO consideration that Greeley mixed up with all the rev.
dictionary funds from that of Slevegammon to that OF
Harpers Ferry, and when remember that this HYATT
the qnondom Secretary of the Emgrant Aid Society
which collected hundred thousand dollars for rife:
and munitions of for the fJohn Brown aud his
associates in Kansas, who tried hard TO make general
revolution in thr country out of the troubles in that
Territory requires great stretch Of the imagination
that the collection Of money in the foregoing letter and
editorial article is for second edition of Harpers Ferry
the putting the stage the next .act in the blood,
drama Of revolution Il is declared to be for the family
OF John Brown and his sons families But that NAV be
an ingenious mode of making the collection legal and
keeping the subscribers OF the meshes Of the law
and to say the least it looks suspicious
What other inference can be drawn from their new
movements They make noble martyr of the criminal
John Brown, who attempted to overthrow the consttu
lion and revoluonise the government by servile in.
uTrection at the South They get up his portrait
image for the people to worship whereas it ought TO be
sent 10 the Rogues Gallery and they to account
10 collect more money for revolutionary purposes II
matters not whether is applied the family Of the con
Wet or TO the direct objects of civil war The moral e
feet is the The tendency is revolutionary and in
smmatory TO the public mind. Il is the strongest en-
ioisenent Of the treason aud murder Of which Brown
stands convicted and is emnenhy calculated to add
fuel 10 that flame Of Northern anagonism against the
South which, according the expounder Of the higher
law cannot be repressed Thus are We drifting by de
grees, into civil convul-ion which will shake the
Union from it, foundations, and result in political and
social chaos which only dnd parallel in the horrors
Of the French revolution Of the last century.
