A traitor has no right to live on this planet. |
He who Lifts up his hand against the ark Of |

slEECr OF DAVID PAUL BROWN.
David Paul Brown, the eminent orator of
Philadelphia, was the neyf speaker, and the
last Of tue forenoon session. He was fervid

est in the case that, as the lawyers would say,
he was unfit to sit in Judgment upon it, and
he asked the assembly to lie his judge. How
are you TO prosecute this struggle? he asked.
You ART to do it, us is said III bad Latin, al

I condemn the traitors, I must confess there
is solnc lingering drop OF pity for them in
their mistaken course; but what shall be eaid

Erecting. himself in the very center Of the
community, serpent like, he hisses at the
Government that gives him protection. Hc

strikes.
The meeting broke up at an early hour in
the afternoon amid great enthusiasm. The
