JOHN BROWN.

AT the resent anniversary Of the Am. A. S.
Society, the Rev. Beriah Green, presented ust
and mastery criticism of Wm. II. Seward from
which we take the following para graph.
One other thing. Mr.. Seward could not, it
seems, be content, without bringing John Brown
anew into judgement. He most gratuitously and
cold, ,bloodedly pronounced anew upon him sen.
teuce of death John Brown had been convicted,
he had been strangled, his hullowed remains, by
true and devoted men, had been borne far away
from the scene where he endured the trial and the
suffering which opened the way from the scenes
Of his labor and exposurej and as those remains,
so hallowed and cherished, were bo rne along
through village after village of the North, grave
men, reverend men, uncovered their heads, and
did homage to the remains of the mighty dead -
IIo was borne away, as it was meet he should be,
and his remains were laid among the stern but
true and magnificent rocks that lift themselves up
in the presence of Lake Champlaiu. There it
was supposed they would rest securely. Now, il
is affirmed in this speech that the death Of John
Brown-and John Brown, Of course not only
represents himself, but his associates-was 'neces-
sary and just 'Necessary'-for what, | pray
your Necessary, OF course, if necessary at all, to
maintainthat system Of outrage and cruelty which
had all along been upheld. Necessary for the
purpose of subserviug ends which humanity nat
urally shudders to contemplate. But 1t is said
bis death was just This deny, deny it in
tho name OF great justice in the name OF the ordi'
nances OF nature, in the name Of all that is sacred
