John BROWN.

Among the letters found 10 Jeffer-
son Davis library is one from Mr..
James s. Mason, written during the
Presidential campaign Of 1885, and
advising the secession Of the South in
case General Fremont was elected. al
am a candidate for the 6rst halter. :"
wrote Mr.. Mason. 1t is noticeable
that the first man hung 10 this wsr
vas John Brown. The death OF this
lonely old man was for an act con-
scienciously committed 10 the cause OF
buman freedom. With one or two
friends, with few cOlored men. some
old muskets and pixies. he deliberately
veus into Virginia and made war upon
the whole accursed system Of slavery.
Il was Ajax deiying the lightning. he
failed, as all the world might have
known. as probsbly in bis heart he
knew he would. But he died strong
in bis own proud consciousness. and
shamed in his death the lives Of those
around him. AS be passed from the
prison gloom into the sunlight on his
death day, he took from The arms OF a
weeping slave woman her little smiling
babe and kissed il, blessing ia that
sublime act the down-trodden race
for which his life was sacrificed. On
the scaffold he calmly looked around
him and said. "How beautiful are the
green ieldsl" A little longer and be
looked on them no more.
The execution Of old John Brown
shocked The heart OF the North; those
who blamed the act respected the man
and blushed at the pitiIul want Of mag
nanimitY on the part OF the Virginiau
slavehehers. The heroic spirit was
not dead in the free States; thousands
felt that John Brown was justified in
his own heart. His death was gal
ling to the warm sympathies Of free
men. Yet no attempt was made iu the
North to resist by force his execution.
Kansas did not franlically seeede. nor
did Massachusetts,, with ell her Aboli-
tionists, threaten to destroy the
Union.
! John Browns transgression OF the
law did not compare with the crime
the Shareholders committed. The men
that hung him were even then plotting
the great wickedness of the age. and
be was slain for trying to save few
negroes from bondage. that they might
with more safety attempt the mur.
der Of their country. And how great
is the contrast between the lsw.abi
ding. and loyal North. which permit
ted Virginia to hang John Brown be-
cause it was so written in the bond
and the treacherous South, then pre-
pairing to tear the bond asunder. The
Constitution was sacred as il protec.
ted slavery; worthless as it protected
freedom. There was not traitor in
the Senate, or in the Cabinet OF James
Buchanan. who was not ten times
worthier halter than this brave old
hero; and those who clamored at the
| time most loudly for his blood knew
well their own guilt was greater. In
1856 there were more candidates for
the first halter than Mr.. Mason

~ Gallipolis is in q fair way to be-
come as celebrated as Gretns Green,
for marriages Of persons from other
States. Almost every day our Probate
Judge is called on by folks from the
"other side Of Jordon." for a license to
commit matrimony." Our neighbors
seem to appreciate the several appli-
ances always on hand in GalRpolis for
"putting of 'em through" on the short
est notice. For instance. the landlords
Of our several hotels enjoy the fun as
hugely as though It brought them no
profit. And as to officials for granting
license and performing ceremony, we
have every kind and variety to satisfy
the various religious opinions Of the
candidates. or if they don't have any
opinions on such subjects at all, still
they can be suited. Well, "it is an i'll
wind" DC. So come along, neighbors,
and get "spliced." War is very de-
structive of humanity. The President
has called for 100000 more men,
Every patriot should his duty.
