Interesting Correspondence.
LYDIA MARIA CHILD TO GOVERNOR WISE.

WAYLASp, Mass, Oct 90. 1859.
Gov. WISE have heard that you
were a man of chivalrous sentiments,
and | know you were opposed to the
iniquitous attempt to force upon Kan
sas Constitution abhorrent to the
moral sense of her people. Relying
upon these Indications of honor and
justice in your character, | venture to
ask favor of you. Enclosed is a
letter to Capt. John Brown. viii
you have the kindness, after reading
it yourself, to transmit it to the prs-
oner
| and all my large circle Of Adolf
ton acquaintanccs were taken by sur
prise when news came of Capt. Browns
recent attempt nor do know of a
single person who would have ap,
proved of it had they been appraised
Of his intention. But and thousands
of others feel natural impulse OF
sympathy for the brave and suffering
man. Perhaps God, who secs the III
most of our souls, perccivcs some sucl
sentiment in your heart also. II,
needs Il mother or sister to dress his
wounds and speak soothingly to him
Will you allow me to perform tina
mission of humanity? If you will
may God bless you for the generous
deed.
| have been for years an uncom
, promising Aboitionist, and shout,
t scorn to deny it or apologize for it a
, much as John Brown himself woult
do. Believing in peace principles,
deeply regret the step that the OLE
: veteran has taken, while honor hi
+ humanity towards those who becam
y his prisoners. But because it is m
habit to be as open as the daylight,
will also say that if believed our IT
Il ligion justified men in fighting for frc,
v dom, should consider the cnslavc
T.. everywhere as best entitled to tina
right Such an avowal is IA simple
frank expression of my sense of ma
=" ural justice.
!, But | should despisc myself utterl
v if any circumstances should tempt III
to seek to advance these opinions
any way, directly or indirectly, aftc
T. your permission to visit Virginia ha
)f been obtained on the plea of sister,
re sympathy with a brave and suflerin
t, man. | give you my word OF homo
. which was never broken, that | Won
use such permission solely and sing
/ for the purpose Of nursing your prl
c. oner, and for no other purpose VIVA
ever. Yours, respectfully,

chose TO advance the cause of freedom.
But honor your generous intentions
i admire your courage, moral and
physical reverence yon for the hui

Thousands of hearts are throbbing
with sympathy as warm as mine.

granted, | cherish the hope that these
few words may at least reach youi
hands, and afford you some little solacc
May you be strengthened by the con
vic1ion that no honest man ever sheds
blood for freedom in vain, however
much hc may be mistaken in his
efforts. May God sustain and carry
you through whatsoever may be il
