THE CLERGYMEN AND JOHN BROWN.

"Whatever may have been the opinion among our
ministers of the cause or character of Capt. John
Brown, it would seem to have b, en- not improper
to have prayed for him; yet far wo have been
able to learn, scarcely one Of the many ministers
In this city and vicinity seems to have thought the
poor doomed mans soul worth even n word of re-
membrance, in the prayers during Thanksgiving
or the last Sabbath previous to his death. Several
persons have spoken, with some warmth of feeling
Of this cold Neglect. they thought it, of their
several pastors but possibly the correct conclusion
is that all of them felt that the sound old Puritan
needed no other human help, to favor and welcome
with the Master whose prccepts he had followed SO
sincerely and devotedly, even though erring in
judgment"
Mr.. EDIroR l clip the above remarks concern
ing the ministers and John Brown from the Pitts
burgb Daily Dispatch of Monday last, and send
1t to you with the remark that Pittsburgh is not
m isolated case; for town is blessed with min
listers who are equally as thoughtiess or derelec
as those of the above named city. This place has
four churches, and claims, understand, to be O
christian people; and the pastors of these foui
churches are suspected of being God.fearing and
man.loving men; yet 80 far as l have heard OF
been able to learn, no petition prayer has ever
been offered for the salvation Of Brown and his
compatriots. Whether they have come to the con-
clusion that praying against slavery is the same
as working against it--TREAsoS, Or whether the
"sound old Puritan" did not need their prayers
certain it is they have been omiuously silent.
Only last Sunday evening four ministers graced
one pulpit; while lengthy discourse was deliver
cd about the Jews" their degradation, suffering,
slavery, ETC.. and petition after petition was sent
up that they might be restored to their ancient
city, and enjoy civil rights but voice was rails
ed in behalf OF the four millions in land, who
are in far worse degradation and slavery than the
Jews" Truly these clerical gentlcmen's philan'
throphy reaches afar Of; while their voices are ST.
lent to the cruelties and wrongs of the greatest
despotism on earth. A great ado made in the
discourse because some wild Arabs had fendishy
murdered ono old Rabbi, whereby the foreign min.
listers at that city threatened, in case summary
ysngance was not executed ON the offender, to
bring the facts before the civilized world, and
thereby cause that nations aDnihation; but how
many acts, worse even than murder are perpetre,
ted by Shareholders, and the ministers do not even
bring the facts before their Sunday hearers
"Verily consistency" &c. ......

CAPT. JOHN BROWNS DEATH C0MMEM
GRATED.

In compliance with q call mado by the citizens
Of Conhotton. large and enthusiastic meeting,
considering the inclemency of the weather. was
hold in the United Brethern Church at that place,
on Friday evening, Dec 2nd 1859, in commemo-
ration of the execution of Capt. John Brown, aud
also, to renew our efforts in the great cause OF
universal liberty, against the institution of human
chattlehood, rs sanctioned and tolerated by the
present administration.
On motion, the meeting was organized by ap-
pointrg Joseph Masters, Esq, as chairman, and
J. W. Millisack, Secretary.
Meeting opened by prayer, by Rev. D. Arbaug.
On motion, committee Of three, consisting Of
John Giles, j. NJ. Holmes and w. B. Johnson
were appointed by the chair, to draft a series of
resolutions appropriate 20 the occasion.
The chairman then stated the object of the
meeting as follows:
Fsllo,p Citizens. We have met this evening to
commemorate the solemn event of the execution OF
Capt John Brown, and in our deliberations this
evening, it may be we'll for us to Investigate the
cause both immediate and remote, that led to this
sad catastrophe. There is one great undeniable
fact, tina. thero is mighty struggle going on in
our nation, between liberty and slavery, involving
some Of the most important principles of our Re-
publican Government. To this question Capt
Brown had turned his entire attention on the side
of Human Liberty. And for this, brought down
upon himself the fury and Indignation oil the Slave
power, and to day expired on the galIows martyr
for human liberty. and for this cause we assemble
this evening and count not our lives dear to us to
maintain and extend the blessings of liberty to
every human being irrespective of color or race.
The Rev. James F. McGraw was then introduced
to the audience and called the attention Of Lis
hearers to the following particulars:
That Capt. John Brown was in every sense of
the word christian. and one Of the illustrious
heroes Of liberty, who dared to speak aud act for
his countrys God.
That the common wealth of Virginia had sacr-
seed his life upon the alter of slavery, because he
dared to carry out his convictions of religious lit
srty--they had denied him the right of religious
federation, as granted in the "Magna Charta" of
liberty.
He showed that the Bible was the Divine au-
thority by which Capt. Brown attempted to carry
on his crusade against tyrants and tyranny.
He slso called the attention of his hearers to
the fact that Brown was no criminal, had violated
no law, and that the 2nd day Of Dec, 1850, would
date the commencement Of reform unequalled
by none since the days Of Christ.
He concluded by the following eloquent and soul
string appeal
To day the wise and good men Of our nation
have been called upon to mourn the irreparable
loss Of one of ito most yirtuous and heroic citizens.
To-day the hesrts of thousands, nay millions of
American citizens have been made sad and melan'
oholy. Captain John Brown is no more! lie has
fallen victim to the oppressors power aud while
at this moment you are commemorating in solemn

THE REIGN OF TERROR.

Free speech is now denied nj the South Every
man who opens bis mouth to utter word of sym
patty for old Brown, or dares to advance single
sentiment favorable to liberty is at once arrested
aid committed to prison. Men have been thu;
imprisoned FOR saying that they voted for Fremont
in 1885, that old Brown vas right that slavery
was wrong; and man has been compelled to give
$4,000 bail to keep the peace, in Washington City
for saying that he believed in the doctrine of the
"irrepressible conflict"
1t would be useless to undertake the enumera
ton of these cases. The Southern papers are full
of them. Every Northern man now in the South
is an object of suspicion, many have already been
driven off, others have received notice to quit, and
the rest are to be harrassed with prosecutions fol
using 'seditiOus language" In giving vent to their
natural feelings, doubtless under strong provoca
tion. II is q complete ieign of terror. Every
man is liatle to be an object of suspicion; and he
who expects to retain his foothold upon that soil
must put paddock upon his lips, lest some iucau-
tious word slip out and thereby endangor "the in
stitution." 1t is enforced silence, instant depar-
ture, or imprisonment; and he who tarries among
the hospitable citizens Of that chivahous cline has
his choice Of those pleasan. predcaments Over
the gate at the entrance to the South is written
''He who enters here leaves oil liberty behind."-
Pittsburgh Gazette.
True, all true! But brethren don't dissolve this
Union. Cling to the South. Send your troops t>
defend her slavery. Catch up her fugtives. Be
yourselves her services. Bear oil things Will
assine patience. But don't, brethren, DON'T, VIZ
beg of yod dissolve this glorious Union.

AwvrL SUIcrDV. The Black Republicans are
purgnR themselves with great rapidit Of their old
Why ideas and National attachments. Their anec-
ton for the negroes s far stronger than their respect
for principles. The Buffalo IN. ~ Eepress, lea
ding Republican organ, speaking Of the election Of
1874. says:
"While we desired and lab0Fed for the election Of
MT. Clay with zeal and srctiOn that never clustered
around the political fortunes Of any other man. We had
