"CIrIzESs OF THE REPUBLTc: thank you for the
eloquent terms in which you have addressed me.
Your words reach my heart.
"a white and black Republic are sisters, the
as white and black man are brothers. There is
only one humanity, because there is only one God.
The French Republic had negroes among the rep
rescn'atives of its people; and that is the one thing
hat made il above all glorious.
al have been sadly deceived in that fraternity Of
races, the Southern States Of the American Union In
killing Brown they have committed crime which
will take place among the calamities of history.
The rupture OF the Union will fatally follow the assas
sination of Brown.
What an event! What disaster!
am afflicted at heart IN thinking of this crime and
this fault.
The gbbet has only increased his glory and made him
a martyr.
Black and white, all brothers, all equal, let us
rally and more around that principle of all prn
cipes-Lberty.
81 love your republic. Let your people know it,.

possible pomp and solemnity, and all the island
Subscriptions in behalf Of the widow Of John Brown
have been started. LIE Progress says:
Not town, not village, not even little hamlet
but should feel duty to cooperate actively in this
great national work in proportion TO it, means Shame

From the opposite shores of our harbor our fathers

are touched with JOY and degh,. They animate us by
their voice and actions The successful result of the
subscription in favor of John Brown will be the glory
of country andthe resuscaton of the negro race;
