An stNceIIentAr Article.

A friend has shown us an admirable article
in the Churchman'S M1gGs ias, from the pen OF
the Chief Justice of Vermont, on the subject
of the JOHN BROWN raid i'll Virginia. This
eminent jurist does not think thar JOHN
BROWN was mad, and be is faliy Of the opin-
lou that he had many instigat ors, who urged
him 10 the dendish act whilst they themselyes
Kept out of harms way. The able writer re-
fer particularly TO the fact that BROWN had
been deceived in representations that had
been made to him, that the 5ervile population
would rally around his banner. 1t is very
instructive fact that they did not and that the
first blood shed Ia that nurderous inroad wa.
the blood OF a negro who was shot by one of
the ab0li'ionists. We beg the inceLdiaries in
Washington 10 refresh their memories with
this little incident The Washington CORES
pondeut Of the New York Express states that
Republican members Of Congress are threat
ening, in the event OF war, 10 put arms and
ammunition in the hands OF the servile race;
and that these threats have naturally created
great feeling among Tbs neighboTing inhabi-
tants of Virginia and Maryland. The diabol.
zeal purpose can never be executed England
tried in vain in the war Of the Revolu ton and

vice OF lhelF masters. we must DO her the
justice 10 say, however, that she never recon-

warn them that not only are their designs as
inprgcticable as they are Internal, but that
when such deeds OF darkness are resorted TO-,
the party assailed will be absolyed from ali
