CHAPTER III,


for their own brethren.
8. And there were many O: their
black brethren OF the South, in bond
age, and it grieved them to the heart.
4. And they cried aloud, and ubus.
ed their brethren Of the South, because
they refused to set their negroes free.
5. And they sought to get up a
quarrel with the men Of the South
about the negroes, and they lain wo'd
withdraw themselves, and divide the
country, because they cUnld not rule
in the whole land.
6. And behold they were dema
gOgues and dsorganizerS, aud busy
bodies in mischief.
7. Now there was Republicanitc
named Horace, anG his sir name was
Greeley, and he said Rather than
tolerate national slavery as it now ex.
ists let the Union Lc dissolved" and
furthermore he proclaimed, Il have no
doubt but the free and slave States
ought to be separated" and again,
"Thc Union is not worth supporting
iD connection with the South"
s. And these are the sentiments
and rcasoDings oi The leading men OF
Tho North belonging to the tribe ofthc
Republcanites.
8. And behold the priesthood OF
the North waxcd strong in wickcdueSs;
and they preached not the gospel, and
they exhoIted not the people to walk
humbly ard love mercy, or to dwell
together in peace and godliness, but.
rather in contention and sltite.
10. And when they heard of the
fate o. St. John the "a aud those that
were with him, they put Oh sack cloth
aud cried aloud, "Oh, our brother, vur
brother, what shall We DO ior our
brotherp
II. And both the priest and levite
cannonized him, and proclaimed to the
people that his gallows WAS more glO.
rious than the cross.
-. And they raised him above the
father OF his country, and they vouch
cd for his religion, his christian like
morality, and his piety.
13. Now, howbeit, although St.
John the % had stolen negroes and
hOrses-had called innocent men from
their beds in the darkness uf Dignt
and murdered them il the Streets
bad made Ear usuu, and shot down,
and imVr5sro>@ u..n In virginia /
that they, the E'lSsr: l1.. ..N:;,>, sho'd
not rebuke The N.cSsGu.:.i hu; rath.
er, by their teachings, say unto others,
20 thou and do likewise.
IA. Men and brethren, will We
hearken to such preachlngl will Sc
take up the galows and follow John
Brown, Or will ye take up the crusS
and follow better examples!
rl5. And behold, about the time
Of the hanging OF 81. John the 2d, there
was a meeting oflhe rulers vi the Ma /
zion at the city ot Washington. .
l6. And they came together from
the North, aid from the South, from
tue East, and from the West, tu.cpn
suit together, and to make laws iur
the ruling Of the people.
II. And there was a man named
John, OF the tribe OF the Republican,.
ties among the rulers, and he aspIred
to the highest seat among them.
IS. And the RepubIcanitrS said
among themselves, 10 To now, let us
have this man as our Spokesman, Dut
they succeeded not.
10. Now this John was RepuLli.
can, of the tribe Of the lleIpertes, and
lie endorsed the doctrine Of irsurrcc
tion upon the South, and a scrvlle war,
like unto that Of st. John the 81, up.
on the white population.
90. And there were sixty and eight
Of the Repu6licanitcs that subscribed
and recommended the book OF Helper
the insurrectionist, among the rulers oi
the people.
81. And when they found that a
majority emong the law makers, AT
the city Of Washington, were against
tho rising OF the Repubicanitrs to
massacre the people OF the South, and
refused 10 excite the black servants OF
tie South t. cut the throats OF their
masters, they were exceedingly sad.
%. And the RepuGlicanites thro'.
out the land were Sorcly vcxed, aud
they knew not what to do
20. And behold there was a voice
heard among the Republicantes and
among the priests and levites, saying
unto them,
IA. "Woe unto you scribes and
phaiisees, hypocrites! for ye Compass
sea and land to u axe one prusely te;
and when he is made, We make him
two fold more the child Of hell thaa
ycurselves!"
25. And again, "Woe unto you
scribes and phariSees, hypocrites; for
20 are like unto whited sepulchers,
which, indeed, appear beautiful out
ward, but are within ifll OF dead mems
bones, and of all Cncleanliness."
