8. But little more than one year ago
the State of Virginia, that devoted d's-
trict, was invaded by an armed band
from the North, who feloDiously attacked
and piIlaged several distinguished citi-
xens. among 9TH r., one bearing TIE re-
vered name Of Warrington /; seized the
Uni'ed States Arsenal At Harper's Fer
~; by force emancipsted servants from
the control of their rightfal masters, aud
had they not been speedily overpowered
they would have proceeded to revolu
t'cOize the State OF Virginia, and from
thence, increasing 10 numbers, would
have marched on t. the attack and Ct
tempted conquest Of other Southern
States. Nor were these Lighanded out
RACES the acts only of few misguided
individuals; the sympathy of the entire
North was manifested in favor Of the
leader of the movement, one John
Brown, who had 10 his pay . caitiff for

the released negro servants had the plot
succeeded. The only exception taken
at the North to this diabolical invasion
was the insufficiency of the means en-
ployed, and the inopportunity of the
time chosen. The principal actor in this
vlllsinous tragedy is still worshipped as

being preserved in thousands Of families
with the reverence due to patriot and
q saint.

military organization, having branches
IN every non-slsvehoId'ng State, which,
under the flmsy disguise Of political
clubs, have by constant practice perfect
ed themselves in military tactics. These
bodies of men, known as Wide Awakes.
have been organized with the deliberate
purpose of subjuga,iog the South by
force OF arms, should they find them
selves otherwise unable to carry out their
nefarious political designs.

To secure his Inauguration against the
