ZACHARIAH MYERS, Btyuier. Blister's Office, Gettys-1 burg, 28, 1859. TMCTURES copied from old specimens of all Jr kinds; also inserted in Lockets, Breast Pins ana Finger Kings, by SAMUEL WEAVER. spring of 1856, when the news of threatened siege of Lawrence reached jonn Brown, who was a member of the Topeka Legislature, he organized a company of about sixty marched towards Lawrence. Arrriving at Palmyra, he learned of the sacking of the town and the position of the people, lie reeonnoitered for a time in the vioinity, but finally marched back towards Ossdwatojnie.

The night hefore reaching tho place, when only a few miles away, they camped for the night. Old John Brown who, we believe, was with the party, singled out with himself, seven men. These he marched to a point eight miles above the mouth of Pottowatomie Creek, and called from their beds, at their several residences, at the hour ol midnight, on the 24th of May, 1856, Allen Wilkinson, Wm. Sherman, Wm. P.

Doyle, Wm. Doyle and David All were found the next morning by the road-side or the highway--some with a gash in their heads sides, and their throats cut; others uih their skulls split open in two laces, with holes in their breasts and cut off. No man Kansas has pretended to deny thai old John Brown's head or that of any of his sons, had been injured by the pro-slavery party. It was not until the 10th of August, three months after the massacre, that the i i and mnst inhuman oppression the sun ever bhonc upon. and To-day he has bequeathed liU blood in whiclf to write the great act ofcmancipa- offered John Brown pardon, he would n't i tion for four millions of slaves, which wa take it.

John Browns in the land, (amen,) not such as would use the same means, but those willing to lose their lives like him in such a cause. Even a former member of the cabinet from Maryland, has spoken in favor of Juhn Brown, and Cnssius M. Clay said of slaveholders, they had sown the wind, and should reap the whirlwind." Slave property had deorecinted since this event.

It haa depreciated $2,000,000. A voice--Thank (Jod for that. He, the speaker, knew there would be processions all over the land, particularly if John Brown's body was given to his friends as promised, and this would excite the sympathy of the community. Rev. Dr.

llall--And a monument mnst be fcreeted to him, too. A Voice for brother here asked what v.ould posterity say of America, that would not bring 1,500 bayonets and rescue John Brown. Posterity would say they had rot the pluck of those 300 men who fought 5,000,000 at, Tbermopylro. They wuuld say that we did not live in the day when the tea was thrown overboard. He was sorry to hear that but five cut of five hundred pulpits had the courage to say a word in favor of the boldest and noblect man that American soil ever produced! Voices--Shame! shame! Prayer meetings were well enough, but we should fight.

There was a Thermopylae to be conquered here The South had thrown dowa the gauntlet, and expected the NorUi there to-duy; and he told them if there were not enough of Northerners there (at the execution) to meet them to-day, their liberties were not worth maintaining.

It was several minutes before the speaker was allowed to proceed, and by this time he had become so excited that he could with difficulty deliver himself. He commenced by thanking the audience for their expressions of sympathy for a down-trodden race. To-day wus done the most arch deed of massacre that aver this country was guilty of, and hisses, long The coward fiends of Virginia, (here the speaker was interrupted with hisses and groans, mingled with applause, and for some minutes he was unable to proceed, when he did he finished the sentence,) have sowed to tho winds to gather, in the coming wrath of God, the whirlwind.
