EXTRACT FROM EXPRESTDENr FILLMORE IS RE-
Ply TO THE BUFFALO INVITATION COMMITTEE
"The contest has exasperated the public mind
North and South and engendered feelings Of
distrust and, | may say hate, that fear it will
take years to wear away. The lamentable trage-
DIV at Harper's Ferry is clearly traceable to this
unfortunate controversy about Slavery in Kan
sas, and while the chief actor in this criminal
invasion has exhibited some traits of character
that challenge our admiration, yet his tanatcal
zeal seems to have blinded his moral perceptions,
and hurried him into an unlawful attack upon
the lives of peaceful and unOlending communi-
ty in sister State, with the evident intention Of
raising servile msurrection, which no can
contemplate without horror and few, believe
very few, can be found, indifferent TO tho
consequences of his acts, or 50 blinded by anati-
cal zeal, as not to believe that he justly suffered
the penalty of the law which he had violated,
can not but hope chat the fate OF John Brown
aud his associates. will deter all Others from any
unlawful attempt to interfere in the domestic at
fairs of Il sister State But this tragedy has now
closed, and Virginia has vndcated the suprem
acy of her laws, and shown that she is quite
competent to manage her own affairs, and protect
her rights And thquks to an overruling Proyi-
dence, this question about Slavery in Kansas is
now is also settled, aud settled in favor Of free
dom The North has trumphed, aud having
triumphed, let her, by her magnanimity and
generosity to her Southern brethren, show that
the contest on her part was one of principle, and
not Of personal hatred, or the low ambition Of u
sectional triumph
Finally, If had the power 10 speak, and there
were any disposed to listen to my counsel |
would say to my brethren Of the South BE not
alarmed, for there are few, very few, at the North
who would justify in manner an attack upon tho
..s al IL.
by the Constitution. We are all anti iSlavery
in sentiment, but we know that we have nothing
to do with it in several States, and we do not
intend to interfere with it. And | would say to
my brethren OF the North, respect the rights Of
the South assure them by your acts that you
regard them as friends and brethren. Aud
would conure all, in the name of all that is
sacred, to let this agitation cease with the causes
which have produced it. Let harmony be re-
stored between the North and the South, and let
every patriot rally around our national flag, and
swear upon the altar Of his country to sustain
and defend it"
