Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1859-11-12
From the Liberator.

We have devoted largo portion of our present
number to .he publication of such particulars OF
the well-intended but sadly misguided effort OF
Capt. John Brown and his score of confederates,
at liarper's Ferry, to lberate the slaves in Vir-
gihis, and ultimately throughout the South, as
have been received. with the comments Of various
Democratic and Republican journals upon this
outbreak, which characterized by an equal
mixture of fcrocity and cowardce.
AS to the plo. itself, it is evident that few or
mono were privy to it, except tho little band di-
recty engaged in it; for though Capt. Brown had
many to sympathize with him, in different parts
of the country, in view of his terrible bereave-
ments, perils and suferings in Kansas, in defence
of the freedom of that territory against Border
Ruffan invasion and wore disposed to contribute
not only to relieve his necessities but also to Ia
ciitate the escape of slaves through his instrument
ta!ity to Canada. still an enterprise SO wild aud
futile as this could not have received any coun.
tenance in that direction.
AS TO Capt. Brown, all who know him person
ally are united in the conviction that more hon

die ignobly, but as a martyr to his sympathy for

who glory in the deeds Of Wallace or Tell, a

tempts ct Perugia and Bologna, in the praise Of
which have been lagished tho most laudatory

surrection is attempted at lIarpers Ferry it is tho
duty of the Executive authority to suppress IT. to
send troops shoot down its authors. and to place
on trial for their lives those who have escaped the
fortune of battle. The State Executive vies in nc
tyity with the Federal authorities !; both are aux

and an arrangement is entered into, by which

The In nfauated and misguided men who fyuIed
in the boody tragedy at llarpers Ferry, last week
will have a notoriety attached to their names and
their deeds which they do not deserve, all on az
count of the extraordinarily large force called out
for tLeir suhjugation. Like Falstaf's men in
buckram. the fears of the people Of Virginia mog-
ni6ed their very small number into q formidable
army of invasion, and hence the ridiculous spec.
.acle Of seventeen car loads of soldiers being sum-
moned 10 capture seventeen crazy white men, sew
eral Of whom we're over three score years of age,
and FIVE negroes. That they should all have been
arrested and punished for their crime, good
citizen will deny; but yet it must be conceded that
this duty to society might have been performed
with fewer soldiers and less bloodehed. While
there can be little or no difference OF opinion in
regard to the enormity Of the ofense of the mis-
guided creatures who caused all this bloodshed
and confusion, it scarcely be disputed that the
people in the neighborhood Of the scene of the ri
OF displayed less courage and forttudc than is
usually manifested by American communities, un-
der circumstances Of .iular nature. Harper's
Ferry is village of no inconsiderable popula-
lion, on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and with
the government workshops located within it's lin
it's can muster some two CT three hundred able.
bodied men. who ought to be capable OF bearing
arms at least in defense of their own homes and
fre-sides. That seventeen crazy white men, some
Of them past the meridian OF life. with few nak-
cd negroes, should have been able to take posses.
sion Of those work shops. and imprison or drive
away the men engaged in them, is a statement
which would be incredible if il were not substan-
tiated by the most indisputable authority.

The scene was a country store at the
crossroads, in the town Of Il, which
all who have hunted or Travelled much in
Herkimer county will recollect and the
interrogation was large, bushy- whskered,
hard faced man, in red flannel shirt, whose
appearance, no less than his dialect, pro-
claimed him to be from the Far West. 1t
was evening, and group of louDgers were
smoking and chewing by the open fire,
whose warmth, though it was mid summer
night, was far from unpleasant.
The person to whom the question was
addressed, partly turned his head toward
the speaker, but did not Immediately reply !;
and took the opportunity Of examining
him more closely than | had done upon his
first entrance. He was, without exception,
the ugliest and most pitiable specimen Of
humanity that | have ever seen. One OF

bis neck we're so drawn and shortened, that
the cheek seemed to rest upon il as on a
pillow His syeIastes were gone, and his
blood.stot eyes were continually moving
uneasily within their raw and infamed lids.
But more painful TO the behoider than all
this, was a strange, undefned expression Of
fear or horror. which was never absent from
the face, and which told more striking y
than bis wounds, the story Of some awful
trial 10 which he bad been subjected.
With all this. however, there was sone.
thing 30 mild and gen,lemanly in his man.

obtain the pity and sympathy OF every one.

You caressed my hands to returning pain -
And your rough lips kissed
From my eyes their mist
You called in my ear
With your neigh so dssr,-
