One year ago public expressions Of
sympathy for John Brown called forth no
rebuke from Republican presses aud lead
e"s. They needed the friends of insurrec-
ton and treason to assist them in electing
a President. That having been accom-
p(ishsd, they seek to release themselves
from all responsibility for the disastrous
consequences, by repudiating the hereses
aud madness Of their abolition allies
We rejoice to see ito know that the
reason and judgment of the people when
unbiased by party considerations, are still
in favor Of law and order,-of the right
and our institutsons as they exist. Had
this change came sooner it might have
been better for the country. Even now it
cannot fail to prove beneficial. While we
di..pprove of any fcrciblc interference
with those disciples of John Brown, who
believe he was right, and regard him as
martyr-we equally depore that morbid
curiosity which crowds the meetings Of
these fanatics, and that Indifference whnl.
cheers and encourages them.
