to seek to martyrize and canonize the
poor deluded wretches whose lives paid
the forfeit Of their crimes, for their foray
on the peaceable citizens Of Harper's
Ferry, Virginia. Aud still SO 1t is. In
Jefferson, Ashtabula county, Ohio, on
the 10th int, band OF theseImisguided
fanatics met for the purpose of COM
memorating and sympathizing with
hazlett and Stephens, the last OF the.
conspirators VIII, participated in the
Brown raid. Well may We exclaim-
"Can such things be,
And overcome US like summer cloud,
Without our special wonderT'
We extract the following from the
Cleveland Pzaixdealsr::
arrived at this noted village q, 3 P.
NJ, and began to take notes. should
think the large majority of the men
wore morrow black ribbon around tie
neck. On hearing the people speak
fippantly of the Black String Order, /
inquired and was told that this was an
armed organization for the resistance Of
the Government in efforts to take the
Browns, Owen and John. Before sun
down was introduced to the rover Red
path. Soon after, the band came in
from Andover playing the Marseiilaise.
Entering the Court House found it
packed. The meeting was opened by
prayer, the band played, and after this
John Brown, Jr., was introduced. He
read farewell ballad of Hazlett, en-
titled "Harrison's Farewell to his doth
err" Harrison was his assumed name,
which he afterwards regretted to have
assumed, rs it cut off all correspondence
with his friends.
He next gave particular history Ct
Stevens, whom he represented as q
model man. He once got angry at his
officer in the Mexican war, drew pistol
and shot at the officer. He was con-
demned to death, but his sentence was
commuted by Pierce to two years on q
ball and chain. He eventually severed
the chain with an axe and fled to Kan
sas. The Lred Scott decision came
then, declaring that black man had no
rights which white man is bound to
repect. The bred Scott decision con-
tains no such ooctrine.-Eds. H. OF
Stevens then concluded that slavchold-
er had no rights, as such, which he was
bound to respect. He then joined my
father and went into Missouri, and
helped him to liberate those slaves and
take them to Canada.
The band played the Marseillaise and
James Redpath was introduced.
He said he was given to study print
tive character by catechizing children.
He asked little boy a few days since
what he was ambitious Of doing when
he became man! "Shoot Governor
Wisc," was the prompt reply. "That
boy" said Redpath, sis my candidate
for the Presidency In 1880, but don't
tell him Of his prospects, for politicians
will hover round him and serve him like
a maple tree-tap him and drain all the
sweetness out of him." He said he had
given the public timely notice of the
Harper's Ferry raid, which was unheed-
ed. He now gave notice that ere many
moons the struggle would open anew.
Mr.. Coppic, a brother OF the executed
Coppic, was called, and appeared. He
is slender young man of twenty years
or so. He said word or two and sat
down.
John Brown rose and said Mr.. Coppic
was not we'll, and that he had left Iowa
because it was thought that new requi-
sition vas in Iowa, that was not imper-
feet, and that he had better leave. But
Canada was thought by the best of
counsel to be no more safe than Iowa,
and that under these circumstances,
where should he go! To Ashtabula
county, said many voices. +" Thank God
for that" The eyes of the world were
now on Ashtabula county, and though
he had not the folly to suppose he could
Withstand the United States, yet he
would stand by these men to the last.
I'VE are with you, shouted many
voices.
The meeting closed with music.
How long, We ask, will this infatu-
alton of fanaticism continue to exercise
its malign influence over q portion Of
our people! And how long will the
sober-minded, conservative men Of the
country look with supine Indifference on
the daily increasing dangers that now
threaten our dearest interests, and our
very existence as nation?
