F 3 { Three things were distinctly urged in that meeting, as | taught by the ministers, legislators, judges, presidents | and governors of the entire nation. 1. The right of slaves to runaway. 2 Their right to defemd themselves against ‘all who shail attempt to molest them. 3. Their right to call on the people of the North to aid them, and the duty of the North to incite them to run away, and to defend them against all, whether governmental officials or not, who shall oppose thew exodus. It was urged upon Henry Wilson, Charles Sumner, Wm. H. Seward, John P. Hale, and all Northern Senators and representatives, in and out of Congress, as a duty, to incite slaves to insurrection and resistance of soul against slaveholdere, and all who would easlave them. The hope was expresced that the slaveholders in Oo: | would bring Northern members to the test, that they might have an opportunity to atlirm in Congress the senti- ments they are known to entertain at home—1. ¢., that it | is the right and duty of alaves to seek freadom by run- ning away, and to defend themselves against all who would intercept them, and that it is the right and duty of the North to incite and aid them thus to get their free- dom. Such sentiments wore uttered in that meeting in your | bearing, and not ove word was said by you or any one against them. And it was said that your silence would be mon Judged from the stand point of the religion and goveru- Basie fh nation, the design of John Brown was found- ed in the deepest wisdom and benevolence, and executed with consummate skill and unrivalled’ heroism, in- tegrity and self-forgetfulacss. His life was a complete success; hisdeath an unparalleled and most honorable triumph. He sought to arouse the soul of this nation, the intellect, the conscience, the sympathy and will, to a state of resistance, rebellion, insurrection against siave- holders, and against every law, constitution, Bible or religion that sanctions and sustains them in turning en, women and children into beastsand chattels. He sought to accomplish this chief end of his existence by rn off slaves or by death. He bas triumphed by the gallows. The blood of John Brown appeals to God and humanity against slavcholders and their confederates in crime. To that appeal the heart of this nation and of the civilized world will respond, in one defiant shout, “ Resistance to slavebolders 18 obedience to God!”” HENRY C. WRIGHT. LETTER TO WM.

What were they? [a the Senate, soon as the seasion was opened, Mr. Luce, of the Island’ aistrict, moved, ‘That, in view of the execution of John Browa in Virginia, the Senate do now adjourn.”” This motion was negatived—ayes, 8; nays, 11. At twelve, noon, Mr. Luce | again moved, “That, as i was probably about this time that John Brown was being executed in Virginia, as an | expression of sympathy for him, the Senate do now ad- journ.”” A debate ensucd:— “Mr. OpiorNg, of Suffolk, expressed admiration for Brown as a man, declaring that he had the greatest sym- patby with him.’ “ir. WALKER, of Hampden, said he yielded to no man in sympathy for Brown. He looked at the action of Vir- | gipia as upjust, and condemned the unseemly haste with which the trial and execution had been hurried forward.” “Sr, Davis, of Bristol, did not propose to condemn the acts of Brown,as he wished them to be judged by pos- terity, and be feltsure that no more heroic or brighter name would be found in history than that of old Osawatomie Brown. Brown, with the constitution of the United States | in one hand and the Golden Role in the other, marched Straight forward and attacked the slave power, and he | ‘was to be honored for it.’” “Mr. Walken, of Hampder said he did not believe, asa lawyer, that John Brown been legally convicted of treason or murder. While he did not wish to go into the slave States to run off slaves himself, yet he did not ob- Ject to others doing it in any way they saw fit.”” “Mr. Hoicikass, of Franklin, said he was # States rights man, in the fullest sense; but he thought it would be as | Perfectly proper to adjourn out of sympathy for Brown | as for any other great and good maa; and he considered | Jobn Brown one of the noblest werks of God. If Brown bad done wrong, it was an error of the head and not of the heart. He held the Governor of Virginia guilty of wilful murder, and this act would be the han; ing of the Governor and of the whole State of Virginia. Meco had | not’been proved guilty.” On this secoud motion the vote was yeas 12, nays 20. Such was the spirit and action of the Senate. But one spoke condemoatory of Brown and his devts. Romem. der, the Senate is almost entirely republican. All who spoke in favor of Brown were such. Road the above, ‘and then tell the slaveholders that republicans have no eympathy with Brown, and mo responstbility for his deeds! What will they think of you?

He had his ‘views of John Brown and of his valua to the race; but this Was hot the place to express them. In other places it Tight be done. It was done in a meeting ef three thousand in the Tre- called for the purpose of mout Temple, that very night, expressing sympathy for Brown, and abhorrence of his slave thought, cite them to {rreconoilable hostility to ‘the highest kind | of theft, i. ¢., man stealing, \Iders, in feeling, word and deed; to in- .”? and to the cree rob- bery, rape and rapine inherent in slavery. The r conscience, moral and social nature and were to be quickened and brought into a state of inexor- | able, undying rebellion against slaveholders, as such. The people of the North, in the family and social circle, the church, at the ballot box, in the market, and in all places where they think it their right and duty to live, were to be made to regard and treat siavehoiders as they do burglars, thieves, robbers, murderers, midnight assas- sins and ravishera of helpless as such, they have no right to breathe God’s air, tosee his light, or to ar have no rights which any man is. ‘This was the first work to be done. By appeals to rea- son, Conscience, pity and sympathy, made through the Press and the living lecturer and speaker, despite the efforts of the Church and State to lull their souls to quict- eason, will of the North , in innocence, and to feel that, live in his universe; that, as slaveholders, bound to respect’ ness, life was infused into multitudes in behalfof the slave. You called on the people of the North to gird on the armor of God against slaveholders. Resistance, rebeilion, insurrection against them, and all that sustains them, in sentiment, in principle, in spirit, word and deed, was the watchword of the anti-slavery movement. Insurrection ‘was couched in the very name by which the enterprise was cbristened—i, e., anuislavery. An antislavery sou and an anti-slavery life were to be created in the North, which meant a soul and a life, an interior and an exterior life, rebellious and insurrectionary against slaveholders. ‘The souls of the Northern people were to be aroused to cease to side with the oppressors against the oppressed, (a8 they had ever done), and to yield up reason and con- Science, and all their sympathy, and all their powers of soul and body, to the slaves against their enslavers. Two positions were established : 1. That itis the right and duty of the enslaved and the free to resist all attempts to hold and use human beings as chattels. 2. That it is our right and duty to use all such means to free the slaves as we would use to free ourselves, if we were slaves. These two posidous were, and have been to this day, vy | maintained by you, by Adin Ballou, by Wendell Phillips, and by all abolitiouists. 3 * * * * * Let the North cut loose from their bloody alliance with slaveboiders, imitate John Brown, and form a league of offence and defence with the slaves against their enslavers. Tet them do in defence of freedom to the slaves whatever they would do in defence of their own freedom.

(Pro- longed ‘sppueee) The Irrepressible Conflict and the Higher Law. By William Lioyd Garrison, at Masle Hall, Boston. . (From the Boston Atlas and Beo, Dec. 22.) ‘The lecture last evening, in the Fraternity Course, was delivered by William Lioyd Garrison, Eaq., editor of the Laterator. The night was oue of the most dismal { - able, but the good people who attend this course of lec- tures are possessed of a large share of “old Toutonic pluck,” and are not to be frightened by water. The hall therefore, was much fuller than would have been aatici- pated by one not aware of this element in the charac- ter of the holders; and the lecturer was welcomed in the most cheering manner as he came upon the plat- form. He said:— ‘Lapixs anpD Gunrizuex—The night is dark, inclement, tempestuous—fitly sym! the state of the moral ‘and political elements in our land at the present time. By = presence under these circumstances, I shall take i¢ r granted that you are just what the times demand—in- domitable and storm ‘There is nothing the stars so potential as Speech; and then, under other circumstances, nothing 80 weak and worthless. The same words from’ the lips of one man shall be empty as the whistling wind; from the laps of another they shall be like cannon balls and bomb- sBelig. “Wt is not #0, mich what is Said, ms who pays it. ‘When Paul, eighteen hundred years ago, stood up in the face Of his persecutors and said, “‘I am determined to know ni among you save Christ and him crucified,’’ it was a sublime expression of moral heroism. But, as repeated from Sunday to Sunday in our American puipits, the words are almost unmeaning. When Daniel O'Con- nell stood up in Exeter Hall, London, in the presence of six thousand people, and said, in reply to the demand of the slaveholders that there must be silence—“ Why, I tell the American siavehoider that he shall not have silence, for, humble as I am, and feeble as my voice may be, it shall reach the rivers and lakes and glens of America, tel the negro that the time for emancipation has come, ope oppressor that the period of his injustice is about to terminate,”—it was more than the simultaneous dis- charge of all the cannon at Woolwich. ‘There is nothing that tyranny dreads so much as speech—the speech of an honest, manly, freedom-loving soul. It may dread Sharpe’s rifles, it may dread cannon balls and bombshells. but ft can match all these ; but free speech in behalf of the truth and of the rights of man, what tyrant cn the face of the earth can meet it or match it? Therefore itis that in France Louis Napoleon dare not trust one single man with freedom in his heart, and lipe that may be opened safely to give utterance to the sentiments of his heart. Let Louis Napoleon, withfall his power, grant to Victor Hugo liberty for a twelvemonth to say in France just whatever he pleases on the subject of liberty and tyranny, and in twelve months there wili be no Louis Napoleon to curse the people of France. [Some person in the audience here exclaimed vehemently, “ No, it is not true.””] So lot the same privilege be granted to Mazzini in Italy, and there ‘will be liberty in that time to the Italian. Let Austria sa; to Kosauth, “You may be pormitted to say, on my soi what you really think of freedom and of despotism,” and Kossuth will never need look to America for ‘+ material aid,’’ or to any other part of the world, for Hungary will be freo, Amd could Wendell Phillips have fair play at the South, I will not say for twelve months, but for one month, the pillars of slavery Would fall, and the sound of the jubilee song be heard going heavenward. (Loud ap- plause. No marvel, therefore, that at this time every effort is making on the part of the slave oligarchy at the South, and their Northern allies among us, to put down freedom of speech. Why, it is “treaconable”’ for a man to speak like a man in the old Bay State. Ask the Boston Post. “What,” says that journal, ‘ig it to be tolerated in the Music Hall that a man shall dare to stand up and plead for the rights of man? It is pot to be tolerated, and it must and shall be put down.’’ It is an appeal to the mob, and the man who made it is a brute and a villain. If argument could be brought into the arena, if God had ever given the tyrant anything whereby he could justly defend himseif, he would exhibit something of a msnly front, and would not be afraid of the utterance of any mam. But it is not 20. This is “‘treason;”’ but i is ‘treason’ to the devil and all hts works; aud this it is which causes so much uneasiness in certain quarters. For one I am dis- posed to speak when the tyrant telis me that I shall not. (Applause.) If I never speak at any other time, what- ever may come of it, I will speak, aud will be heard.

Look at Virginia on the day of the execution of John Brown, Sho has more than a million of people; she had thousands of men in arms; and zet, she was afraid to let John Brown be heard on tho scaifold by any of the citizens of that State; and so there must be, at the point of the bayonet, a driving of the people away, that no sound might be heard coming from the lips of that devoted martyr. tells the whole'story. They feared his words more than they feared his rifles. They had reason to! As they said in regard to Jesus. “Never man spake like this man;’’ #0, never did Virginia have upon soil a man who could begin to speak like John Brown. ‘Applause. Slavery is not a debatable question, and the man who attempts to argue the mauer with a siaveholder becomes foolish. What is self-evident is plain enough, and rea- son, and argument, and logic are unneccssary and ab- surd. Do you suppose that there is a single slaveholder at the South who does not know that he ta man stealer? Do you suppose there is oue there who does not know that the slave he is holding in voudage nas as good aright to hold bim in bondage as he bas to inflict that outrage upon his victim? Kvery slaveholder kaows it; and I never did, and I think I never shall, uniess I am demented, argue the question with any mac as to the Tight of the man in bondage to be set freo, and the duty of the master to proclaim immediate emancipation. The slaveholder, therefore, being a self-convicted kidnapper of his fellow man, is left without reason or argument to vindicate his course, and he must therefore reaort to the bowie knife, to the revolver and to lynch law. He does the best he can undor the circumstances. He would do better if he could, but God bag not made that possible; ‘ud 80 lynch law and slavery are one and inseparable as against the friends of freedom. It is self evident that a horse ig not a man, ia it not? It is self-evident that a cow is not a woman, js it not? It is self-evident then, that a man is not a horse acd that a woman is not a cow, and therefore that they are not to be put into the came category; and this is the whole of it. (Applause.) Among thoge in our country who have startled and ter- rifled the South by the power of his words, is the man who 80 grandly represents the Empire Slate in the Senate of the United States, Wm. H. Seward. (Loud cheers.) And ‘what did he do to.create all this excitement? Why, he ventur- ed in one of his 8, to remint thatthere was a higher law than ts own; that above our constitution is the law of the Laving God; and that tbat law is obligaory un der all circumstances, and against all compacts; and over sinoo then the bloodhounds of the slave systom have been upon bis track to devour him. Jt %% a simple truism; and yet, under these circumstances, coming from the ips man representing such a State, it was like a aum- wens to the judgment aon.

It is all a horrible burleaque, a dreadful mockery before God! It is not, therefore, that abolitionists are tical; it is that slaveholders are in- human, tyrannical. It is not that we are disorganizers; but it is that the South is ‘full of the habitations of cruelty.” What is abolitionism? It is the opposite of slavery, and saree is the opposite of liberty. Slavery, in the John Wesley, is the ‘sum of all vil- lanies.”? Abolitionism is the reverse of all this, and therefore it comprehends all righteousness. It represents ceranenny: in its highest, its noblest, its world wide a5] speaker then referred to the answer that was made to the demaad for the liberty of the enslaved, that there. by two millions dollars’ worth of property would be instantly annihilated, and maintained that the answer had no force, inasmuce as one free laborer is worth three slaves, and the abolitionists proposed to make every slave a free ‘r. If, by miraculous power, four |- ons of cattle at the West could be transformed into four millions of living, breathing. independent freemen, would it be @ pecuniary loss to the West? ‘ How much better is than a sheep?’ So, by the transformation of slaves into freemen, the South would Ue as a garden of God, instead of becoming barren and desolate, and having many waste places throughout her borders. In this connection, Mr. poate beers the testimony of some Virginians in regard to the effect of slavery upon the material prosperity of that State. John Randolph says:— is so impoverished by the of slat , the tne tables wil sonar or nice te) tured, aud foe"alavea wil advertise for runaway masters. Gov. Randolph also bears similar testimony : We have been far oumerogt by States, to whom nature bas been far less boun! dt is painful to consider what might have been, under other circumstauces, the amount of general wealth in Virginia, or the whole sum of comfortable subsiatence and by .al ber inhabitants, Thomas F. says:— Thave said that Iconsidered negro slavery as political mis- fortune. ‘The phrase waa too mild.

He was n0 enemy to her Prosperity. ‘Oh, if he could only have succeede: object, She could have succeeded in making a thorough exodus for the slaves of Virginia into Canada, it would have been a noble boon for Virginia, and would have been worthy all commendation on her part. No doubt, bad they started, she, like Pharaoh of old, would have gone after them; and if she had met with a Red Sea on the pas- }, and bad encountered the fate of the ancient tyrant, \ should say, as David did of old, “Ob, give thanks unte the Lord, for He is good. for His mercy endureth forever; to Him who overthrew Pharoah and his bost in the Red Sea; for His mercy endureth foreyer.”’ (Laughter.) Mr. Faulkner, of Virginia, saya converts the energy of a community into tadolence— into imbecility—M efficiency into weakness. Being jurious, have we not a right to demand its extermins- ont Sunil avciety suffer that the slareboider may continue to er bis vigint of human lust the country Ian- Quaiah and die, that he may dourtah? What will Mr. Caleb Cushing say in regard to the inter- rogation of that distingnished Virginian on this subject? 1 laborers at the South ought to de paid for their labor. Substitute cash for the lash. Is not that reason- able? Will it produce any convulsion? Let the slave be recognized as @ man, and honestly paid for his labor, and where will you find a remnant of the accursed slave system of the South? We are all of us human beings, and we work better for a reward than we do without any. You know it is proverbial among ourselves, that a man can tell whether a mecbanic is at work by the day or the Jobonly by listening to the sound of the hammer. If it is by the day, it plays to the tune of « Old Hundred’ — “ By—the—day:—by—the—day.”” But if it is by the Job, then it goes to the tune of “ Yankee Doodle’ — B: the Jos Job, job; by the job, job, job.” (Great merri- ment. The abolitionists maintain tWat the slave isa man. Is thatfanaticism? Has he s God, a Creator, and is he ame- Dable to God, his Creator? Did Christ die for him?

(Applause.) We say that it is not for a certain class of mankind to assume that God has invested them with sacre4, inalienable rights, and among those rights is the right to trample upon the poor and the needy; that they are not to claim the right to resort to the sword, and to out off the hoad of the tyrant when they are opprossod, and deny It to any other class of men on the face of the earth. ‘once more come to Wm. H. yeward. Instinct is said to be ‘‘a great matter,” and itis a proverb that we may learn something of an enemy. No man in public life is 80 feared by the South as Wm. H.

Rely upon it, there is no other that the South so foara at the present time, and it must be because she thoroughly understands what power he has in the nation. ‘Then who is the man in public life who is the next most hated man by the slave oligarchy? Why, our own Charlies Sumner—(loud applause); and if 1 trained im the republican ranks I should say, Wm. H. Seward for President, and Charles Sumner for Vice Presi- dent the United States. (Hearty ee a I think, with that ticket. Icould sweep every free State in the Union, except, possibly, California. In a speech at Roches- ter, Mr. Seward took occasion to refer to the collision ex- isting on thie eubject of slovery between the North and the South. He said:— Shall Tell rou what thle collision means? They who thiok it is accidental. unnecessary, the work of Interesied or fnati- cal agitators, and, therefore, ephemeral, mistake the case alta . Ittsan irrepressible conflict between opposing and enduring forcea, and it means that the United tates must and will, sooner or later, either entirely alaveholding na- tion crentirely a free labor nation. * © * It is the failure to apprebend this grest truth that induces so many un- ‘successful attempts at float compromise between the alave and the free States, and itis the existence of this great fact that rendergall euch pretended compromises, when msde, vain and ephemeral. In my judgment, there never was a clearor statement, @ more palpable truth uttered, than this statement on the partot Mr. Seward. It is only saying that “there can be no concord between Chris‘ and Belial;”’ it is only sayiog that ‘two cannot walk together except they be agroed;” it ie only saying that ‘a man cannot aerve two masters," and that ts which are in the nature of things eternal- ly hostile, can never coalesce and be at peace. Mr. Seward intended’ nothing invidioug’toward the South; he did not pr any measure unwarranted by the constitution of the United States. He was dealing with this whole ques- tion philosophically, and merely recorded his conviction that we could not go on as we kave hitherto gone, except we bave this “irrepressible conflict” to the end, and cither slavery must rule the whole country or Wberty must drive slavery out of existence. The same declaration was made by the Richmond (Va ) Inquirer before Mr. Seward made it. That paper said;~ ‘There must be ® last battle between slavery and abolition. ‘The struggle will end only with the destraction of one or the other of the two hoaitle parties | Shall the South postpone the last decialve conflict until defeat is inevitable The st of the enemy 1s hourly inereusiog, Every shiploxd of emigrants or ain discharged In the of New 8 ross of and decennial count of the po Goabicy canvia Woo Gopid decline of Uae Hout EMBER 24, 1859.
