Let those, then. who have reprosches to heap
upon the authors Of the Hsrper's Ferry bloody
.umult and general Southern fright, 90 back to the
true cause Of it all. Let them 20: blame blind and
inevitable instruments in the work. nor falsely
malign those " DO in wise ppGc ,ted. directly
or indirectly; but let them patiently investigate
the true source whence this demonstration arose,
snd then bestow their curses and their ansthem~
accordingly. II i. childish and absurd for Cover
nor Wise to seize and sit sstrije the wounded,
painting body Of Old Brown, and think his HIS got

A., 10 this whole tumultuous raid Of subsequent
excited volunteers ard fassy officials against a
crowd of unsrmed and frightened negroes, with this
malicious effort to fix crlmnalIty or blame upon
innocent parties to subserve personal or party ends
We can only regard i! with contempt. There 10
nothing in it worthy Of any other emotion. 1t hn
neither sense, nor dignity, nor honesty. Old
Brown is simply spark OF great FIRE kindlei by
short.sistted mortal. When Old Virginia had
reused herself in the persons OF her Governor and
Senators, and in the might Of her military power
ard had e1tiDgui,hed that spark, by getting Old
Brown under, Why that WAS the end. That was
all there was to be done. The subsequent yalor
and activity the ep,ulettes and lace, srd horses
aud s,ber, afterwsrd displayed, were so much sheer
surplus, and the exhibition only provocative OF
ridicue The other branch Of the display, in pre-
tending to fix tie responsibility of the outbreak
upon the Republicans generally we dismiss with
tie exposition we have already made. There is no
just responsibility resting anywhere no just atsri'
button Of causes anywhere for thi, violent attempt,
that does Lot fall directly upon the South itself Ii
has deliberately challenged aud wantonly provoked
the elements that have concentered and exploded.
