Gilawatha World: \ letter from Sen
,r ingalls,, dated Washington, Decem-
y l, among other things says:
FL sent my anti- Ctter paper 70 the
fprth American Review last week.
Tnnd your "Annals" of immense service
It's preparation | do not know how
Gould have done anything without u.
arrived here this after
bon nc three The Indications point TO
Arlisle's election AS speaker. Gen.
osecrans tells me that u IS sure. IT
4 II Is the first consistent aud courA-
t-ous thing the Democrats have done
! twenty-five years. IL Is a square VIC
ery for the "soiid South" aud free
.ade."
The Review and the article will soon
e here. Col. Richard j. Hinton, for
herly of Kansas, will have paper on
be same theme in the same number.
feplies TO Utter haye already been made
~ John Brown Jr., in the Cleveland
leader, and by Mr. Frank Sanborn in
he Springfield, Mass, Republican. Mr..
ianborn has written Life Of John
5rown"-It forms apart of the history
~ TorrIngtoD, Conn, where Captain
Brown was born-and will publish dur,
ing the winter a fuller and more com.
plete work, which will be the authority
and the ''last word" on that theme.
The revival Of that subject just now il
lne to David ". Utter, an itinerani
preacher, who halls from Chicago, Kan.
sas City and California. and who 70.
gently wrote an article for the North
American that was remarkable only for
Its malice and the extent and variety ol
its misinformation We had said moth.
Ing about Utter's lies and Ignorance be
cause his article gave abundant evidences
10 all well-informed persons Of It's origin
and purpose. The article was not {
mere chance production, but was a link
IN chain OF mendaciiy more than Z
quarter OF a century long, and we know
the blacksmiths who forged each piece
We shall not crafty them OF disfgur'
our columns by printing their names
the names 81 the whelps who have used
this poor creature Utter as their tool
The names and the persons attached are
kept aliye by the consumption of theil
own venom and by the occasional inocu
lation of itInerant adventures. Blu
Yipers do not write history.
John Brown was Providentlal char
acter, of the same type as Cromwell, and
his place in history and in the heart ol
mankind is as secure as Cromwell's
Both men were in advance of theil
simes; neither had the constructive Ca
pacIty OF statesmen but both of then
turned ideas into. facts which statesmen
framed into statutes, charters, constitu
lions, institutions. The Tory histOriei
of England have been calling Cromwell
-sOlver" for two centuries, just as the.
speak of Jack Cade, but IL will only b
the Rebel remnant in this county tina
will venture to treat John Brown will
contempt. His figure is colossal an'
cannot be belittled. Like Tell an'
WinkelrIed he was the Voice and til
Sword of Freedom.
No need OF defending him. The it'll
coterie OF slanderers and chAtterers-
enlarged by one, Utter, in a quarter Of
century-will keep up its lying All
squealing while their lives last. The
spit and sputter when statues are cas-
and monuments are builded, and the
will continue to squeak and glbber afte
sinking in the cracks and corners {
hell. But il they ever secure any MOI
tai fame 1t will be because such amA
heads, such Jumps Of Ice, could SO Ion
treasure, feed upon, and glory in th
lies of devils and the envy of imps. l
some such manner they may live
point moral-the Lilliputians {
malice-the persons who sought IAN
through the mouth of Sunderland g
kicked into obscurity ormade a commo
laughing stock as the most ridiculot
Of idiotic vIIiiers.
1t is probably true that the hyenA feed
upon dead bodies. and that the vampil
sucked the blood of persons asleep, an
thus caused their death That fabuloT
demon, the Ghoul, which was suppose
TO pray uDon human bodies, was the al
cient creation of the human brain, mao
TO supply long felt want. Thus hist
rY and human nature repeat themselve
and the Persian ghoul, the Turkish var
pire and the African hyena still live
Kansas and in Illinois and continue
make three meals day, with savol
lunches between, out OF the bodies tn
are Wondering in the grave. And thu
gnAsh their tusks with fendish hate /
cause the immortal soul goes msrchil
