re-euact the tragic scenes OF St Domingo, il
Virginia, when liberal contributions were freely
na ie throughout the North to carry out his bloody
work, and put arms IN the hands OF 250O despe
rata WTetches, who, under the leadership Of JohI
B:Own, were presumed insensible TO mercy anC
would turn their weapons upon helpless womsI
and children Does the gloom which fell upOr
the north at the announcement OF his death
the bells which rang out 2 solemn funeral diTge-
the sermons preached and OTations delivered al
the meetings Of sympathy held ell over the NOItt
for John Brown look ike they do not uphold
and endorse himl-the eminent counsel paid and
sent to defend him, if possible, by some attorneys
trick, screen him from justice does the fact Of
his being represented as one Of the purest and
greatest benetactors of the age, canonized with
the christian martyrs, and even sssimulated to
the Savior OF mankind; by a spontaneous, i'm
pulsive eusburst amongst q people who, by q
regular, Systematic course of operations, have
been trying to bring TO a successful issue this
attack upon the South, ana who, for long years,
have been openly our avOwed enemies, does all
this show us thar they ignored and do not sane
ton John BrOwnl b not deceived as to their
ultimate desigus and intentions! They as con-
hleaty looked for cooperation and assistance in
our households As they did for the time to come
when their armies would invade our country;
but in this they have signslly failed, and now
in their madness, they are mastering negroes
into service for a bTsastw0rk. Upon more than
bsa ola ,E
his abolition suppor.ess have said that a Aw bar
res of whisky, and plenty of arms in the hands
of toe slaves, would soon terminate the war
But they have found the cOntrabands too
loyal to their masters thus to be led into deeds Of
blood. And yet they tell Us, fOIsooth, that this
is not a war upon our institutions. IuRrecent
Boston paper the " Peril and PdiH1," appears
the following editorial, which is but one Of many
similar articles published in the North The
editor IN all caudor aud sincerity says:
IF freedom can enly prevail through the
agency OF vengeance, so be i; If the temple of
liberty can ouly stand securely upon the c0rpses
of shareholders, be it, rather let the Ioie race
Be Strept from tie face Of the earth btaR endure tie
perpetijty Of aerr0 J0HdOge. WE WOULD HES
ITATE AT No CONCEIVABLE ATROCITY;. WE
WOULD SPARE NEITHER PARLoR NOR CRADLE;
NEITHER AGE NOR sEX-iid we believe that
they must perish in order that negro slavery
might perish with them"
Thus, total annihilatiOn, "sparing neither par
lor nor cradle, age nor sex, is our inevitable
doom unless we ii Y to our standard and meet the
f5e as brave men, who know their rights and
dare maintain them" They have began their
work of determination. Oar ports are bIOckaded
and our coasts and rivers are whitened with
the sails of their hostile fleets. Our quiet
cities are sheed, and our women and children
,L.t h..
our own soil ana an army Of over one million
of men are marching into the very heart of our
country to des0iate cur homes and destroy cur
families, ''sparing neither parlOr nor cradle, age
nor sex" den Of the South, do we realize tle
danger that Is upon us and are you ALL ready
with strong arms and brave hearts 10 meet it
This usament Lincoln is gathering his mighty
hosts in battle array upon our soil to conquer
and enslave US while the Federal Congress has
provided means of punishment for those who,
without an effort, yield to their strength and
fall into their power In Congress, on the 2lth
of last February, Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, in
his speech on the bill to coniscate all the pro
peTty, personal aud resl estate, of these "Who
have given aid and comfort to the rebels said
3" The ringleaders of this rebellion, the instiga-
tors of it, the conspiratoTs, etc, shall be brought
to the halter We may take possession Of their
country, and app9rton it out among the loyal
citizens of the Union" lie then compares US
with the Indians and doubtless hopes to ex
tinCuish or drive us from our homes, beyond
the confines of civilization, SIS the poor Indian
has been driven but, alas for his expectations,
We are not Indians when our armies sd
vance" he continues, "let them take their pro-
peTty, and make it contribute toward the ex
pense OF the war; and save the property of
loyal persons, and make the men who nave iu-

mistake his meaning, or fail to comprehend the
intention OF the North toward US But listen
to the remarks o. Mr.. Pomeroy, of Kansas, on
the same bill: "Mr. Speaker, ! object 10 the
third section, which provides for cOOniZ alton.
We cannot afford to send ous Of the country the
laboring meu and producers; sad, if insisted
upon, l viii move to amend by providing colon
ization for the shareholders, who are dangerous
to the country, and whose loss would not be
felt;' to which, Mr.. Wiley, of Virginia,
(bogus,) responded, that d" he was willing
to cooperate in the most stringent measures,
but it would cost $500 head to coonize the
Dir. POmeToy said his amendment
would Obv.ate that difficulty, as there would be
but comparatively few Shareholders to coloDize."
To which Mr.. Wiley replied: "Tten propose
10 hang them, and thus saUs transportation This
last remark was received with thuaders of ap-
pl2use from the galleries. Such, my country
men, is the feeling of the North, and burning un-
der their recent defeats, they wiz bring all the
power in Lincolndom to bear upon us, and crush
US 10 the earth to rise no moIe forever. They
will hold out the olive branch of peace until they
get foothOld, and have ensnsred their prey,
when the slken cords of friendship % they have
thrown around the unsuspecting of our people,
who, listening to their smooth words of deceit,
have dresmed of peace, win prove to be ty-
rants chains that viii never be unloosed. Even
now, the insidiOus Yankees are trying to demor-
alize the people of Tennessee by their promises
of protection and peace. " We viii protect
your private interests, and restore the State to
its former peace and prosperity" said Gen. Bu-
ell, when he entered the city of Nashville and
as evidence of his sincerity % urged the eiti-
zens IN vain to open their stores and put their
workshops again in operation. But, thank
Heaven, the glitter of abolition gold could not
seduce the loyal people Of that proud city, and
their stores remain closed and their workshops
silent. They have learned a lesson from op-
pressed, downtrodden Maryland, who was be-
treyed By weak, degraded governor, and
now lies a bleeding sacrifice upon the altar
of abolition despOtsm, with $4,000 aboli
ton soidiery quartered upon her soil, eat
ing up her substance, and daily tightening the
chains Of tyranny aud this is what the North
calls the submissions of one State" and for
which they are about to graciously give her a
Yankee Constitution and an imported set Of
rulers. The people of Tennessee also remember
the fate of st. Louis, where Ike promises were
made, and while their pledges of protection were
still ringing in the ears Of the people, unarmed
men and defeDseless women were shot down in
the streets by lawless Tufians and cut-throats
imported by Lincoln from Chicago and Cincin-
natl Missouri, AMI Kentucky, too, loom up
before them and raise warning voice.
It was British gold, during the old revolution,
that purchased traitors from our midst; 1t was
the devils silver that bought the Saviour of the
world, and kiss that betrayed him into the
hands Of HerOd; but all the gold and silver in
Lincolndom cannot buy one true Southern heart.
Southern honor is above price, and when viO-
lated can only be stoned for in blood Guided
by the same treacherous spirit Of Judas lscsrlot,
these Janus-faced JscobInical Yankees, who
have drawn the sword of death against us, are
now trying 70 beguile the unsuspectiDg into
their tells, and while their conciliatory words
are falling upon the ears Of the unwary, soft and
