proclaimed their hostility TO tho Govern.

o saeovenans With DEATH and the Union . !
ssLesgus with hell,o all others said that
shsy we're rebels against the Government. |
Afseraards when John BFowa, the frst
rebel In arms against the Government,
made his raid int Virginia and murder
cd several citizens, he was denounced ny
. large portion Of the Republican press
a. traitor and gully Of the orsFs act Of
treason. Even the Nonparsil, abolition

tiiy his reasonable and nurdsFous aets,
but in pAlliatioa oil his crime called him

WISE.
We suggest The hanging of thai old
rattle. braIned rebel, william and coward,
Henry 4. Wise, upon the idensieal spot
of John Browns execution. Il 10 more
than likely thai thu ssalfols and rope
used in hanging Brown have been pre-
served in some museum Of the ebivalFy,
and If such - The case, let the sataa gal
lows be rebuilt as near the spot upon
whish il first stood, as the compass and
chain can place il, and then lss The same
| rope that broke the neck Of John Brown
perform q like ofhee for Browne murder
tr, that pink Of ehivalry, old "giEzaFd
foot - the chronic treason With which
be has been affected for years, can be
most cifectually and radically euEed By
one dose Of bis own incidence
HWhen Fernando Wood iuteFceded in
| Browns behalf, and asked that his puQ
| ishment might be mads Imprisonment for
| life instead Of execution, Wise replied
that be had "ths nerve to hang him and
| intended to ieiso. Let his ''neETsn nov
be put to sess under different eiFcnmstaR.
Gee while Browns fIiepds takes Wise's
place in fEoat Of the seaffold, let Wise
take Browns place upon it, and les If the
/ saIna ssna4ye" will still support him.
/ Let him test the power of bis "nervs" to
support him Ia crossing the dark waters
to his certain doom OF eternal ignemy by
the same rope ferry that Landed John
Brown upon the shores Of Immortality"
Here We have the acts Of John Brown
justified. Yes, the first traitor againsi
his Goverument-ths man who captured
lha United States arsenal at HaFper'G
Ferry and murdered several citizens in
its neigbborhood, WHO vas guilty Of srsa'
son both against the United States and
the State of Virginia, vas murdered, ant
the Governor who refused to pardon bin
was bis 'snurdersrsn aescrding to tbs
Honpareil. So the NonparsI believed
st the time; but it dare rot hoist its Gru'
eolors. Ii fels like giving aid and com
fort to the enemy of our Government anS
trespasssE against the Conssitusioa ant
laws; but dare not do ii. Il Kas a rebe
