THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

south who wilfully and malici Justly undertake TO
force these dreadful issues upon us. True, we re-
ally find no great fault with Brown, and in our
inmost heart we admire and honor him, and the
people are in love with his character, but we are
forced to deny him now, and therefore we will try
to hide him away down in our hearts, and for the
time being we must not speak in his great name,
we cannot use him now as we did in Kapoas.
Away with him AS Republican lawyers we care
not what has become of him."
Now observe the conduct Of the so-called Dem.
%ocratic lawyers. The great portion of them north
have, it seems, agreed, notwithstanding their
great love for the Union, to hand over the defence
OF 1T to the Republicans, and now the fight is
mainly between the disunionists of the South and
the Republicans of the North. But are they re-
ally In earnest that is the question. l think
they are not. They fear the chances that the Re-
publicans have to elect the next President, and
they take this early opportunity to swear them
into a fourfold committal for the preservation of
this glorious union and the Constitution with all
its compromises. This lie done, they want some
thing more and have il they will, for a threat to
dissolve the union has great power with the Re-
publican lawyers, and they will do maay things
to save it.
Strange things are about to take place in this
country. The Democratic lawyers will demand
that they have privilege to destroy the freedom of
speech of some particular class Of people in the
north, and this done, they will establish an auc-
ton block on Boston Common, and sell humanity
there. They have a trap sci to catch certain
anti-slavery men Of the north, and have handed
Ctavans n,n, - tho JT,;,o1 C,o.o, no,rt c. m
other purpose under heaven but to set on the Gov
eminent bloodhounds. See to it oil 80 who have
written letters to Brown. Your names are writ
ten down in Governor Wise's book Of remember
ance, and your doom is sealed. The negro SIAM
pede to Canada is the first fruits of all who would
defend his course, and the superintendants and
conductors upon the underground railroad will
will soon have to make their trial and last trip to
Canada or the g%allows.
l repeat that our lawyers as they are in this
country, are not the right kind of men TO serve
the people. Their life is made up of tricks, and
traps, and expediency and compromise and the
house in which they meet, and which has been
built by the people, and for the people, in which
they who are creates, may meet for the better pro-
lection and faithful service of all, and which
ought to be the house Of peace, and therefore the
house of God, they have turned into a house Of
confusion and made it a den of thieves. They rob
the people every time they meet. They take away
the peoples money for naught, aud have the priv
ilege of voting money into their own pockets
without the consent of their constituents. What
do they care about the constitution ? 1t is plastic
as wax in their hands, and l think that John
Brown only made one mistake in not beginning
in the right place. If he had waited a little Ion
ger, and begun at Washington, he might have
had more to help, and done a better service to the
people who have become tired Of paying 30 much
for so little. Yours, respectfully,
STEPHEN D. WOLFE.
