Imaginable horror, the overthrnw OF all order,

which could possibly take place"
The New York Courier another prominent

of the Shareholders and their abettors-not for
its destruction, # that can be easily avoided,
but to convert it TO the use Of the slaves. Hit

able in this way II it can be done in no other.
The New York Tribune, the leading liepubli
can journal Of the United States, and read
probably by over 40O,0 900 Republicans. said!
There will be enough to heap e4ecratipn on
the memory of these mistaken men, Drown
and his party) We leave this work to the fit
hands and tongues Of those who regard the fun
damental axioms of the Declaration of Inde-
pendcnce as 'gli,terihg generalities.'
Again, on 9th December, 1859, it says!
You know that mistaken old John Brown
and his brave sons with him at larpelr Ferry
laid down their lives not to iniure but to tene-
| fit the South; that they ard their comrades
dead, or about to be killed, were the least sec
tional of human beings They sacrificed their
all in an unlawful but heroic ef6n to benefit
those whom they have never seen."
Again, it says;
"tnwise the world viii pronounce him
reckless of artificial yet palpable obligations he
certainly was; but his very errors were heroic
the faluts OF brave, mpusive truthful nature
impatient Of wrongTand only too conscious that
resistance to tyrants is obedience to. God! Let
whoever would first cast a stone, ask himself
whether his o,cn aob'eSt act a0os equal IN grandeur
and nobj1,tY to that for which John Brown pays
the penalty OF n death on the gallows" -
Il
who have been prosecuted Tor an idea, who have
been hated because OF their efforts to make the
daily path of the despiscd and unfortunate less
rugged his memory will be fragrant through
generations. 1t will be easier to die hereafter
in a good cause, even on the gaIlows, since
John Brown has haNo'oed that mote Of erjt from
the troubles and temptations of this mortal
lfe."
Consider. fellow citizens, that the secret of
all this eulogy Of murderer is, that he muir
dered southern men in an attempt to get mp n
servile insurrection at the South. Consider,
too. that the editor who indites this cuogy up
on the murderer, Brown, was the ruling spirit
Of the Chicago Convention, which nominated
| Lincoln, and that by his efforts, even Seward
was set aside, not for his ultraism, but to graf
ify the private malice of disappointed place
hunter.
Wendell Philips, at Boston, in February,
1860, said: ...t. ."
"And better than that Puritan conscience a.
wake, and filings its spear down in the centre Of
Virginia, in the revolt Of John Brown; and the
world says, do Iapprose Of him? Well, he is
the eldest horn; he bears your lineamcnts, you
ought to acknowledge him. He is the natural
product OF the thought Of the North, seeking
vent somewhere. The irveressjb'e conflict HAS
| BEGUN"
On the same OCCASION Garrison said:
| "Whatever stands in the way of this sacred
cousc, PIT 1t down. If it is a party, let the par
| ty be Abandoned; if it is the Church. let the
Chwch be onat1ametisea; lift is the Government
let the Government be REPUDIATED."
The Cbambersburgh (Pennsylvania) cores.
pondent of the Tribune writes, on the Goth Oc-
tober, 1859, in respect to Cook and John
Brown:
"The public pulse here throbs pity for Cook.
Both here and in Philadelphia, the con-
duct OF Cook and of Brown is arousing deep
er and broader anti slavery sentiment (outside
as well as inside Of Abolition crcles) which
even Kansas, with all its horrors and outrageS,
failed signaly to excite. Why? 1t has apeal-
ed to tie religious nature of the people, and
water is beginning to flow from the rock of Ho-
reb."
| The Rov. Theodore Parker writes, on the
oath November, 1859, the following upon John
Brown:
l. "a man held against his will as slave
has natural right to kill every one who seek
to prevent his enjoyment Of liberty.
2. at may be natural duty of the slave to
develop this natural right in a practical man
ner, and actually kW all those who seek to pre-
vent his enjoyment Of liberty.
| 3. The freemen has natural right to help
the slaves recover their liberty, ard in that en- :
terprise to do for them all which they have a
right to do for themselves.
! 4. at may be natural duty Of the freemen
to help the slaves to the enjoyment OF their lib
erty, and, as means to that end, to aid them in
killing all such as oppose the natural freedom"
This letter of the Rev. Mr.. Parker is publ h
ed in the Tribune of 9Th December 1859,
without one word Of caution or dissent.
On the night Of the day Speaker Pennington
was elected, Mr.. Cameron, United States Scna
J tor from Pennsylvania, speaking Of the Har
per's Ferry invasion spoke Of it slightiugly, as
follows:
"Nevcr mind IIaypers Ferry, my friends
that is a nine days wonder" a
Mr.. Hickman, a prominent Republican mem
Der Of the House, said
"And say to you to night, my fellow. cit-
zens that if it will ieeuire the State Of Fngin
=, In arms TO take old john Brown, and seven.
,een men and one cow, it will reuquite more
than the fifteen feeble States OF the South to
successfully compete with the eighteen mighty
States OF the North"
