Our people have already enjoyed the first
fruits of the Park in the delightful Ramble, the
free concerts, the noble drives and the skating.
But this is only the beginning. Now, it seems
that two and q half millions of dollars are
wanted to complete the Park It should be

REV. THEODORE PARxER's SECOND MANIFESTO
IN FAVOR OF REvoLuTION.-Our readers have
not yet forgotten the first letter of Theo-
dore Parker on hearing the news Of John
Browns invasion of Virginia. The audacity of
its treason and the intensity ofits fanacism have
made it memorable. Another letter from the
same pen now appears on the execution of the
martyr, saint and idol of the abolition party,
who Mr.. Parker thinks is properly put by
Cheever before Noses. The second is equally
fanatical and revolutionary with the former
letter. The reader will find it in another
column of this days HERALD, copied from a
Boston journal.
Parker says "the storm ofanother revolution
is beginning, and that none knows when and
where it will end"-that "on the morning of the
10th Of April, ITS, at daybreak, Old England
and New-Great Britain and the thirteen colo
nies-were one nation. At sunrise they were
two The fire Of the grenadiers made rsconci-
liation impossible, and there must be aoar and
separation. 1t is so no,o." He goes on to throw
cold water on moral force, and says that what
Seward with his appeal to the higher law, and
the eloquence Of Phillips and Sumner, could not
accomplish, will be brought to pass by John
Brown who inaugurated the true method of
abolition, when, taking his life in his hand, he
said, Slavery shall 60 down, even if it be put
doom ,cih red sacords." So that as the blood
shed by the grenadiers in the first revolution
''made reconciliation impossible" and inevita-
bly, led to "war and separation" ut is so
now,n in the second revolution, and war and
separation will follow from the blood shed by
John Brown at Harper's Ferry, and the she'd
ding Of his blood on the gallows at Charlestown.
Such is the historical parallel drawn by Parker.
cred swords are the weapons of his warfare
for the pulling down of the strongholds of
Slavery, and he significantly hints that "the
battle-axe," though rusted since the first revo.
luton has still an edge that can "bite and cleave
down the monster which hinders the progress of
humanity" And he winds up by bloody allu-
sion to "the men of wrath" who are to be let
loose in ''the stormy time that is before U.S."
Thus does this apostle Of the anti-slavery
party at the North preach up bloody civil
war. His epistles are Of greater authority
among the brethren than those of St. Paul. The
words of Parker and Garrison, Phillips and
Seward, are "the law and the prophets" by
which they swear. 1t is in vain that Senators
and Representatives in Congress gloss over the
creed of the party. So lately as the 9th of
January last, at the annual meeting of the Mas
sachusetts Antislavery Society held in Bos-
ton, Dr.. John S. Rock gave utterance to the fol-
lowing sentiments -
would no moro think OF comparing Napoleon III. with
Buchanan tho Last than would the Saviour with Belize
bub And In case Of war between the two countries the
colorcd man would have everything to gain by fighting
on the aide Of France certain that foreign m.
tons knew Of the smoherng fires that arc in need only
Of one breath Of pure cir to fan them into fame the
sympathy they would meet with here they would have
Less respect for the strength Of this government.
Here are foreign nations invited by these
traitors to stir up the smothered firesn of SER
vile insurrection in the Southern States with a
view to the conquest of the whole country; and
the blacks are reminded that they shave every
thing to gain" by fighting on the side of the
enemy. Who can say that Parker is not at the
present moment on a mission of this kind in
Europe? Where all this will end, if the revolu-
ton is not speedily crushed, needs no prophet
to predict and no ghost to tell.
