Revolutions in the United States.

In the last number Of GarriSon'S abol lition
paper appears list of the the names Of those
who have contributed to the abolition cause in
the United States-the cause of revolution By
boodshed for which its advocates claim that
John Brown died a martyr. We find that the
sum of six thousand dollars was contributed in |
all, a large proportion Of the amount being from
England. Among the subscribers are:-Tho-
mos and Esther Surge of Northfeet, England,

family, co. R. D. Webb, OF Dublin, for selfaud
friends 155; Madame Meynieu, Of Paris, being
the only subscriber from France or the CONT

only an installment of what is yet to come thro'
the operations Of Fred Douglass.
This is an attempt made to revolutionize the
United States by British subscriptions, and the
recipients of the money here openly invite
British and French arms, and the arms Of Eu
ropean nations generally, to attack this country,
which they guarantee will become their easy
prey on account offs its weak spot-slayery-
which only wants a breath of pure air waited "a
cross from the other side OF the Atlantic to fan
it into an unquenchable flame. John Brown,
it is in evidence, was in England before he en-
tered upon his revolutionary crusade in Kansas,
Missouri and Virginia; and it appears from the
testimony Of Governor Robinson, published in
Saturdays HeraM that RcalG Hinton and Kagi,
Phillips and Redpath, who were aiding John
Brown in Kansas, were foreigners, and that
| their mission was to prevent peace in the Ter
rtory, in order that the flames OF revolution and
servile instruction might spread over the whole
Southern States. This is their own confession.
made to Mr.. Robinson, a leader orthe free State
men of Kansas, who thus corroborates the ad-
mission of Colonel Forbes-another English
man-a1d the statements of the Kansas He1aM
Of Freedom, as to Brown and his companions.-
Governor Robinson swears that brown did
not 90 to Kansas to settle, but on account Of
the difficulties which he expected would extend
until the country generally should become in
volvcd and slavery be abolished. His object
was not peace, but revolution, and differed in
this respect from the free State men generally
The only other person who avowed to the wit
ness a similar object was James Redpath. AZ
ter he had lost all hope oil accomplishing his oh.
ect he related tG the witness the designs of
| himself and some others who were operating
with him. He said but few were in their Sc
cret, although many were operating with them.
The reason ofhis opposition to taking posses
sion of the Territorial and Lecompton State
government atahe ballot box was because he
saw in such policy an end to the disturbances,
and consequently to his'hopes Of revolution
Hence he and those with him who were chiefly
reporters of the press made war upon all who
were likely to aid in securing quiet. in order to
destroy their influence with the people,"
Redpath did well to run away when served
with subpoena, which could not be made to
compel his attendance on account Of the pre-

lie will probably turn up in England cheek by
iowl with Fred Douglass. He and the other
EngliShman engaged in the business are in the
pay of the British arsiocracy and are emissa-
ries from Stafford House and Exeter Hail.
John Brown got the principal portion OF his
funds from England to carry on the revolution;
and Lord Brougham, we hear, is to agitate the
subject in the British Parliament, in order to
courteract the reaction on the subject indicated
