HISTORY OF JOHN BROWN
BE SENATOR NOW PRESIDENT ANDREW JOHN
The pulpits generally, and a wiajoiity of
Republican papers, now boastingly rejoic)
that "the North has vindicated the
. cause of
John Brown, and wiped out slavery." Nor
is this any foolish hr inconsiderate boast;
it is strictly true. The policy of the Re-
publican party, since it mama into power,
has been d faithful carrying out of the work
—begun by old John Brown. The adminis- i
station of Abraham Lincoln was a John
Bretdii raid on the grandest soale ; and it
was no more. That is the place it will oc
cupy In history. The bloody business is
done, and we do not write for the purpose
of amending the great crime. We do not
seek to raise the' dead. We accept Chef - nein
he we find them ; but it is our business to
tell the truth about these facts. It is our
business to strip off all these bandages of
shame, hypoceicies, and lies, and lay bare
to the bone this monstrous carcass of
frauds and despotism. The record of this
party is in' revolution and blood; in the il
revolution and blood inaugurated by John
;Brown. It has finished - the raid which that
prince of assassins and thieves, John Brov , n, -
began. As a part of the history of these
times, which we wish to
- leave in the col
umns of The-Old Ottani, we copy below part
of a speech delivered by President Johnsen,
in the Senate of the United States, Decem
ber 12, 1860. It is a fair-and truthful his
tory of the moat important period In the
history of Brown, who was one of the chief
founders of the Republican party, the in
augurator of its policy.. Mr. Johnson was
speaking in reply to Senator Doolittle, who
had offered, in the Seaste, an apology for
. Brown, by declaring that his Ben liattbeen
murdered in Kansas, and that he acted in
revenge for the wrongs ha had suffered. Id
answer to this excuse, • Senator Johnson, the
it
President of th United States, made the
following epee :

Christians, who are making John Brown

him and make him a great apostle and mar

stand In this case ? When was the old man
Brown's son killed, and when dld he com
mit One atrocities ? Even admitting the
trudilleg t .the statement of the - o'o'l4ler from
Wisconsin, they are not juatifiable, but
when we show that the foots are different,
they are less so. The elratunstanoes are
stated in the evidence of Mr. Harris, which
will be found in a report made by a commit
tee of Congress, and repu.blished in

• I begged them to let Mr. Wilkinson stay

After they were gone, I thought I heard
my husband's voieo in complaint. * *
'Next morning Mr. Wilkinson's body was
found about one hundred and fifty yards
from the house, in some dead brush. A

there was a gosh on his head anti side.

" Mr. Doyle s and his eons were murdered
on the same night with Sherman and Wil

this account of it :
(Here follows several depositions.)

Brown during hilt imprisonment, showing
that she et ill regarded him as Ile murderer
of her jusband and ebildren :

in which John Drown 'Was taught. Why,
sir, John Brown, according to his own ',oh
fession, had entertained these ideas for
twenty years. John Brown did not go to
Hermits to go to aaltool. He went there as

but he went there as a teacher. These_were
his teachings. imagine the mien and lam
entations on the one baud, and the shrieks
of the dying and the mutilated en the other.
I think sometimes that I hear shrieks so
loud, so wild, soselear, that even listening
angels stoop from leaven to hear. This is
the man for whom an apology is offered.
I did the Senator the justice to say that Ile
disclaimed all sympathy with Brown. and
yet I read what, 'in Mot, was an apology.
What furthermore did But Senator say I
We have shown, and the fact is not contro
erted, that ho murdered five human beings
on May 24th. They have shown, in trying
to-answer this, that his eon did not receive
this ill-treatment froni , Captain Pate until
the last day of May. We have showta that
. other son wtis-not killed until August
80th. Let us remember these facts, and
come to the old man as being a thief and a
murderer. I want all these modern fanatics
who have adopted John Brown as their
Christ and their Cross, to see who their
Christ is. The Senator says spill:
$t I regret that gebtlernen, in speaking of
this man Brown, should be pleased to speak
of,,hint its a robber, or a thief, or a vega.
hand, in the ordinary sense of the term.
Sir, it is the essence of robbery and theft,
that the robber or thief who robs or steals,
netshould from the ilrgire of gain. Cor
taiuly no such charge can,be. made-against
this man, as that he was actuated by a lust
of gain. Ile acted from far different mo
ires. lie sought to give liberty to the en
slaved, and lai*elown his life for that pur
pose—freely and bravely did he do It.'
T h at is, you may steal and commit
theft if you do it to aid in thd.cause of the
abolition of slavery. Ila 4 we any proof
that this is so? What does Mrs. Wilkinson
say in her af f idavit? When John Brovrif
and his comrades were there on thar24th,
when they took Wilkinson out and Murdered
him, just before they
a lefer.lhey took his
property and his only horse. I suppose
they needed the bOise to aid in the emanci
pation of slaves! Horse stealing is curried
On to o..great extent sometimes in a frontier
cottfiliy. Mrs. Doyle states they inquired
where their horse was, and were told it was
out on the prairie. What took place at
Harper's Ferry? 'They took Col. Washlng
ton's silver and his watch! What does be
admit in his own ,conhssion ? That he, du
ring the last winter, had• P 1 en, had kid
napped, and r#in off eleven ,graves from the
'State of te, Kansas. That is not
stealing, though ; I suppose that is not
theft, that is not robbery ; and we taigitt
not to talk about this old man as stealing in
the common aoceplation of ,the term ? What
•fit it, I ask the country, I ask the Senate, if
it is not stealing, robbery, highway rob
bery ? And yet these things are thrown
out, perhaps not intended, lbnt they
erate as an apology rind excuse in the minds
of many for the infamy; the murders, the
theiving, the treacherous conduct of this
old man LtAwn, who was nothing more
than a murderer, a robber, a thief, and 6
traitor.
I think, Mr. President,ithat so far as
John Brown is concerned, the factswhioh I
have presented stand uncontroverted.v The
Senator has , failed to touch them. He has
not removed'them, but has added strength
and additional proof to what I said in ref
erence to them. It was not my intention to
olinsuma this length of time, and I should
not have said a single word on the subjetd if
the resolutiOns could have be l .n adopted
without disoussion,'and especi.ily so if a

terrible civil war, that the °erred. history
of old John Brown's inauguration ,of the 1
policy af_thatßepublican or_Abttlithinparty,
was made by so eminent an authority _as 1
President Johnson ; and-it Is especially - for.
tunate that this- record- was- made- in the
Senate of the United Stales. It, is a part
of the debates of that body, where it stand&
uncontradieted and unrefuted: It was an
endorsenient of the policy of this raider and
murderer, by the North, that startled and
aroused the South, and finally drove it into
secession; for John Brown's raid roar en
dorsed by the North. From almost every
church and schoolhouse tbe voice of prayer
and lameptation went up to Almighty God,
canonizing his name and endorsing his in
famy. The whole Republican press lent Its
support to this abomination ; and, with en
tire consistency, when the New England
soldiers marched through this city, they
Made it hideous as hell by singing And
ithoutingi"John flrouni's soul is marching on."
So it is, we have little doubt, marching on,
through seas of fire, in company with fiends,
theivee and assassins, such as were his eoffi
panions and abettors in this life. So it is,
generally speaking, marching on to the music
of despotism, ignorance, revenge and Ina,
1 that swells up like a gorgon from the bot
tomless pit, out of the breath throats of
the negro-worshiping mobs I Marching on
as a pestilence or contagion, or a thing , . '
horror and death marches on! Behind its
march are the wails of widow and the
screams ef children, the vpriMplorations
of defenCeless old men y and the humiliation
of manhood. Before - 1i the insane gibberish
and faidastiodebbe of negroes, of both the
white and-black complexion, milking night
and day hideous with infernal delight..
„bfirching on I alas, poor country ! alas,
human nature ! Why do we write these
things now? Because we love and would
save our country. Because we would bring
' our countrymen of the North to their sen
ses, by holding up the John Brown raid as a
glass for then' to see their faces in..X We
would remind them that. there is both ti God
and History, that justice and truth„sooner
or later, will whip all the shams and lies
out of the records of human events. If the
South has foil;? to repent of, we have
crimes—crimes which will roll out of their
graves and hunt us like demons through
the world. Vainly, do we - seek (o assure
ourselves, by shutting our eyes and saying,
verily, what a good 'people are we! There is
An eye that we cannot shut. , There is arm
that we cannot stay. Time le an inexorable
avenger of all men's wrongs; and time will

What we dare te-;s y is. this, that John
Brown bad, as runt? Constitution and law
for what he did, as the Republican adminis
tratibn bad for what it has done. This is
what we say, and no leading Rentidican
dare attempt to debate the merits of the
question.with us before the people. They
dare call names; but they dare not debate.
We love truth and respect justice above all
things. We hold_

John Brown school dare not argue. They

Nor will President Johnson's distinction
between designing ringleaders and their
misguidedfollowers beer any morn gammas
ful application. Probably MY - example has
ever occurred in' which each a discrimina
tion had leas place. The Americans are
not people to be led like sheep, least of all ,
in the South. There was- no benighted
class there to be deluded or cheated into
rebellion. The blacks, who would Correa ,
Toad to such a class, were out of the affair
altogether ; titd the war was conducted and
maintained exclusively by classes above
theclommon. It has also beep assertahuld
bL the surest of all teats, that of actual
trial. that no portion whatever of the South
ern people woo coerced ,into GO rebellion,
Absolute unanimity, of course, is a thing
impossible, and,, doubtless, as the war pre-.
seeded, the hearts of many men failed them ;
but it was proved-over and over again .bat
the idea of econsiderable Union parighteer
borne and overpowered by a wilful and I,.yr
&nous majority was a there delusion. The
