was brave man as all stern enthusiasts
are: and it was because he thought this
the offspring Of his gloomy i'm.
agination, was consecrated by the appro-
baton of Jefferson and Washington, That,
as he sometimes said he believed the arms
Of the Almighty would uphold him, he
was encompassed about BY the Angels Of
the Lord.
Is all this 10 be attributed to a declara.
ton of Mr.. Seward, in reference to a con-
flict between Slave and Ere, labor? lap.
peal to gentlemen. if they could trace
back Browns conduct at Harper's Ferry
to any source out Of his own solitary
mediiations, whatever Others might have
stated Of their opinions, whether it is not
more rational to trace the germ Of that
conduct TO those writings, speeches, ard
letters of your own great men of the
South? They were great men; they we're
heroes. They were the great men Of the
United States, aud the great men Of the
world; add, Notwithstanding you have
changed your opiGion on the subject
of Slavery, and made it contrary to theirs

Of history when those Of US OF the pres.

livion. Applause upon tfe floor and
in the galleries. 1t is wonderful that
the talent, ingenuity. and eloquence Of
this discussion should have come 10 such
conclusions. Shall our minds be fasteh.

writings and speeches of the fOrmest men
OF the world to stimulates mind like John
Browns into frantic faaaticism? Fl.
I want all men to ba happy, all people
to be happy-men, women and children
sea that they are happy. For instance, !

murmur in the ear Of my colleague ( Mr.
Vallandigham) verse from the elegies 0
Shenstone:
"Dear reg.ono silence and shade"
In reference to the Democratic part

in his softest notes Of affection, would tax
up the strain:
sSoft scenes OF contentmcn ut and ease,
Where have so happily strayed,
Since naught in thy absence could please"
Now, it is pleasant to see them thu
dwelling together; for it is impossi le 70
such man as am. much as l am or

A very curious question is this thir
