| Mr.. Clerk, wish 10 look for one moment at some
other facts found in the historical portion of the Bible
having curious besriug at least, this question OF
negro Slavery. We are told in that sane Book that
the people Of the GLOBE except eight, we're destroyed
in delUge. Noah aud HE family only were preserved
That old patriarch seems to have been reusrsaoe Tor
nothing, so far as find out except for his strong
faith in the word Of God, and his remarkable nautical
adventure Noah had three sons, from whom have
sprung all the pc pie now upon the face OF this GLOBE
We told by sacred, and think pretty fully too,
by proane historians that Japhet ia the father of
race. We, then, all children Of that man. We
bsve Is tiue TO 30 far back 70 get at It, de IL our
original pfOp0suS. Sh9m is the father Of the mgra-
tory, wandering Asiaiic family. Ham, il is said, was
the father Of the negroes. This, think 1t will be
found, il shown by accredited historical books.
Some have wondered how it happened that Japhet,
born Of the same mother son Of the same father should
be gentleman with features and complexion like you
and NY self; Shem yellow fellow, with h sh cheek
bopes and Ham negro, with black face and crisp,
cured bar This difficulty is surmonnted by one class
of ehDoOgists by attributng the difference 10 climatic
influences, in which think there is great plauai5ty.
BE this may the relationship is the zane. Japhst
il is agreed, bad large acquisyeness and hence his
suptriory and may be said with equal TRUTH that
bis children are not deficient in this capital vrtue for
soch it is held TO be in times by in this model
Republic. They ALSO it Is said have quick and pow
erfnl faculties for numerals and regard In thetry as
well practice, the multiplication table as the acme
of human knowledge. But let ne look at tubs family

is the son of Ham; the SONS respectively, Of
these brothers, and consequeI thy We the sons of
Japhet are cousins TO Cufee he beng the of

from this account Of to be probable had really
that relationship that certainly had not treated
our cousin like a gentleman Renewed laughterl
Now, do they suppose that John Brown had not read
Jeersons notes Vrgui3 and AL other things which
Jefferson had written about Slavery Do they sap
pose he bad not seen the declaration Of Washington,
thut if Il ere were any way by which Slavery could
be abolished, he would render TO it his cordial CO.
opeTadon7 Do you suppose he had not seen that DO
you suppose be bad not the debates in the Con
venton in which Slavery is denounced as an enormous
evil leading step by STEP as certainly and as steadily
ss the step of time, to contamination as fatal as
death Do you suppose John Brown had not read all
these things in his solitude am0rg the mountains OF
New-York where, twenty years go, he gays. he fret
conceived the idea of invading of tue Southern
States and CARY ing off it's slaves Do you suppose be
had not popdered upon these things and prayed over
tbem-for he was praying man, as all enthusiasts
are; be was q brave as sll stern enthusiasts
are and was because he thought this enterprise the
offspring Of his gloomy Imagination was consecrated
by The appreciation of Jefferson and Washington that,
as be sometimes said he believed the arms of the AL
mighty upheld him. he was encOmpassed about by the
Angels of the Lord.
