'Three months after William Doyle
aud his two sans were murdered, three
months after Sherman vas marierfd, his
sKati cut open in two places, and thc
| stream had washed the blood cut OF bis
Uranium -tbEee mouths after that, John
Browns son was killed at Ossawatomie
| Then what becomes of this excuse? EhS
| this apology for man like this? Three
months after he bad committed this Rends
ish act, bis son lost his life at the battle
| of 0ssawasomie. II was on tEas night,
about / o'clock, as testified BIZ Mrs.
DOYLE, as testified BY her son, as testified
hy DIR. H@rEis--thesc men, ianecent, un-
oIsHdiug men-weFe taken cut, aud 10
the Forest and on the road side, fell Tlc-
| tins 10 the inzatiate thirst ef Jobn Brown
| for blood. Then it was TIA: those mur.
dcrs y 3ra committed, that he'll entered
bis heart, not the iron bis soul. Then it
was that be sbrank frem the dimensions
| of a human being into those Of 4 reptile.
Thea ii vas, If not before that be chang

| all Ihe virtues Of q maa. And yoa talk
about sympathy for John Browps
| "John Brown stands befare the country
a murderer. The epormity, the extraor-
dinary feroci oafsness of the father set the
son mad. The blood of these murdered
men-not Gtsika that Of the sacrificed A
bei-cried even from the tonguiees cav
erns of the earth 70 him for pity, and to
Heaven for iassee, but bis iron heart,
not soat, refused 70 yield; bat Heaven, in
the process OF time, has meeted oal to
him justice on the gallows. Justice di-
vine to punish sin moves slow-the slow
| or the pace tho surer is the blow. Ii will
oyertake as il HYiug--it will oyertake us
ii dead. Justice has oyertaken it's victim,
and be has gone TO eternity with crimson
ed hands, With blood npon his head.
''Bai the Senator TALKS about the school
in whioh John Brown was tsughs, Why,
sir, John BrIwa, according TO bis own
confession, had entertained these ideas
for twenty years. John Brown did lot
90 to Kansas TO 60 TO school. lie went
there as teacher on the 24th Of May
Al the mid-hour of night, from the wife
and mother, he dragged the husband and
two sons, aud imbrued his hands 10 their
blood. These were The doctrines that he
went there to teach. He did not 20 there
10 be taught; but be went there as q teach
CT, These were bis teachings. Imagine
the cFies and Lamentations on the one
hand, and the shrfeks Of the dging and
mutitakea on the other. | think some
times shat hear shrieks SO loud. 90 clear,
that even listening angels atoop from
Heaven to hear This is the man for
whum AZ apology 10 offered. ] did the
Senator the Justice to say that he dis
claimed all sympathy With Br9wn, and
YET read what, In fact, was an apology.
What furthermore did the Senator says-
We have shown, and the fact ID rot con-
troEerted, that be murdered 6se human
beings on May 24th. They hate shown,
in trying to answer this, that this son did
not receive tbis ill-treatment from Capt,
Pate until the last day Of May. We have
shown that his other aon was not killed
until August 30th. Let Us remember
these facts, and come to the ola man as
being thief and murderer, Iwaut all
those modern fanatics, who have adopted
John Brow and his gallows "a their Christ
and their cross, to see who their Christ IL.
The Senator says again;
s'I regret thai genslsfaan, Id speaking
