THE DIFFERENCE.
The New York Eueni,eg Post, in referr-
ing to the latest executions in Virginia
those of Stephens and Hazlett-and the
pertinacity with which her authorities
continue their efforts to secure additional
victims, INDUCES in the following rehec-
tions, which are as just as they are uncom-
plimentary to the humanity of the officials
of that State It will be remembered
that number of men from the slave
States, including son of Gov. Critten-
den, and others of like standing, made
an attack upon Cuba with the avowed
design of revolutionizing the Govern
ment by force, and Wrestling it from the
hands of SPAIN They, like Brown and
his followers, in Virginia, we're captured,
tried, and justly condemned. But the
difference in the conduct of the authori-
ties is thus truly expressed by the Post:
"When General Lopez and number
of equally misguided young men from
the slave States made similar attack on
Cuba, the Spanish authorities executed
the principal offender, and, at the re-
quest of several of our public men, per-
mitted the others to return to this
country. This was the act of a people
considered the most blood-thirsty in
Christendom Whatever may be said
of the improperly of the Harper's Ferry
lnsurrection, no person doubts that the
motives Of those engaged in it were
worthy. Surely the deluded followers
of John Brown might have been treated
with as much magnanimity by the Vir
ginians as young Crittenden and his COM
panions were by the Cuban authorities.
After five persons had been led to exc
cution Governor Letcher might have felt
that the claims of justice were fully sat
isfed, and at least committed the SEN
tences of the remaining two criminals.
Must the Old Dominion be so much more
unforgiving than the country of Philip
the Second and Pizarro?'
More ChivaIry and Courtesy.
The last number Of the Contederacy,
published in Atlanta, Georgia, contains
the following:
