Men; tileiteads of families; from theirbeds'and
mitrilered them; as he would (legs by. the way
side; and yet one speaker says there arc a mil
lien 'hearts .With .. .John:Brown to..day. Why
should net - the South be excited/ why not arm.
.and be ready fora 'portion of this million of
ready invaders? Then' it is notorious 'that
many of the, eading- papers of the North have
but a word.or, so of mawkish condemnation. Tor'
the. folly_ of John , BroWn, while .they print
whole columns of sneers and sarcasms forl7ir
glide and the SoUth... This state of things : cau l
not last. • Now, we of the North commit, two .
great mistakes; we rneddle s ‘vhen we ought not.
and s we meddle to the injury. of all parties the
slaves,. the.SoUth, and' the''Norih. Some of
you will remember, that seven Years•ago I told
you some very plain truths'on anothersubject
which you.repaid.in

it; I toldlou thatyou were soliving Seeds.for

or be/ . If this the baptism with water, .what,
will' be the melting heart 'of the fire that is to'
comer Is pot the folly and the guilt of these
universal reforms open and•manifest, when 'one.
of them'has culminated in a• Burnham "and the'
other in ;Brown. ' , One can hardly tell which
is the most guilty of the two; probably.Burn
ham has killed the-most persons—and in n. sly
underhanded ,manner—giving 'no chance :for
self-defence. Would , it :not he.well to glorify'
Burnham as .a. Martyr to an ‘giilea?" -Hi' has
first-rate points. 'No inan.'had ever shown
more "game" in his disposition; fettered-by' no :
.seruples,...bound bynolaw . of honor; things sa
cred 'and profiine are alike to him; he would
cheat the communion table as . quick as the sick

of our borderL•beyondhui.jurkdiciion:-:-and:the

plaCed it, and there .the sons should leave 'it.
WheneVer the layes.of the moral or 'physical
world are violated a terrible vengeance ensues.
The 'prostration of majestic trees in: !he, forest
