We may bouSH the language Of Hslleek
with the atoned brave, John Brown
Rest theei there Il no pfoudsf grafs

One Of the few, the Immortal names,
That we're not born to die"
C. II. LASGsroS's REMARKS.
Mr.. Langston remarked that no felt to night ss
Il he stood with immortal names. lilo flt as II
he heard the command Of Moses,- IIo that keep.
9th man and seeth him, no shall be put to
doath." Jesus says to me too --"Whatsoever ye |
would that men should do for you DO you even so to
them" Aud a. We come down through the later
ages We Cad bold, Out-sPokeD words from the
great and good.
Il Is not in question tonight whether black men
shall always be slaves, but It is whether white
men and women are 10 be free or slaves.
Having been raised up in Virginia and knowing
all the evils Of slavery, when / came into
Ohio, found that here had no rights civil or
religious, which you are bouud to respect But
am here tonight to sympathise with you In the
! death Of John BrOWn-a true man who has fallen
, victim TO slavery. John Brown made his
D first appearance in Kansas and announced that
black men hal equal rights with white. lie was
. the man Of the age. lie told me last spring that
e he had iouud black men to be equal to waite, and
a be believed in this practically aud truhfuly.
!, Did John Brown worship tho true God, or do
the Shareholders worship the true God was he a
- heather or are they healhens2 1 honor John
IT Brown, because down there 10 his prison he has
had the same spirit Of preaching the gospel truth
that he has ever shown.
But do not thiuk Gov Wise is responsible for
Browns death Il is the American people who
t. dare do nothing contrary 10 the behesii Of the
Shareholders. Ills death was a Consequence Of
, your union with slavery. Your United state sol.
y diers captured him. Gov. Wise aud oil Virginia
81 could not have taken John Brown without the aid
Of u S. troops whom you help to support.
Fs One Of IN q eveand papers has said in reference
n to this meeting that Browns expedition Is againss
lie the common veal VI our country" loud cries OF
of .'name the paper, but Mr.. Langston replied that
nd theie proprety iu all things aud he would not
50 name the iOurnal) Now ii slavery IL the weel OF
ns 'irrepressible conflict" will go on II cannot be
us stayed aud II the dissolution of the Union should
ell take place, there would be a change by which
,hs there In Ohio the black man might be n Tree man
..u 1 hope this will be new In our country -
= But until the b aok man is made free, white mel
- will be slaves. on can no more mix liberty an,
A'i' slavery than you eau light and darkness or bel
ure aud heaven We do not look at this matter frou
eat the same stand poi t. look at IL from a poin
for where as u cOlored man, hate your governmen
all as hate the very Devil.

'sd [Nr. Crooks was once a missionary in Mort
Carolina, but was driven out for boldly speakn
sS against slavery

AD1 aud Patrick Henry to the world the noble Jot
mes Brown was executed TO day at quarter past l
re- We cannot compromise with liberty and slsyeT
as The fathers Of our country applied the TO Il
half evil but left IL ut the root In the expectation th
N ! their children would well aud thorough
lion continue the work OF extirpalon until 1t was TO
up root and branch. And here tonight let
H''| express an eternal opposition to slavery as
to Hamcar 10 the Eternal City OF Rome. l hon
am the memory Of the brave Old Man for he was I
my friend Of humanity.
rney Mr.. Crooks related the history of his expulsl
rfie- from the Carolnas for his faithful preaching

your REV. MR.. TooHEy's REMARKs
who Mr.. ToomkY remarked that he too, belonged
other class nearly as much dispised as the race
SIS, which Mr. LRngston beon cd. He waa an Iri
1cule and they were TO the negroes as six OF one
nv of half dozen oil the other. In his early days

but since he had been here he had felt that he
not OF the same race with the Americans,
VS. he had ever given tue wfoleiof his sympathy

events brought US by such unexpected short
