«sion made upon the minds of Brown and his deluded followers, that it was their religious duty to extirpate slavery wherever it existed, that insti- gated the invasion of Yirginia. I do not charge that the party advised the deed, for I have no proof of thrt fact; but I do insist it resulted from your counsels and your teachings. Judas did not crucify his Loid; but were his skirts clear of a Saviour's blood? You did not advise the deed, but you teach your people that slavery is the consummation ...of crime, that slaveholders are tyrants, and "resist- ance to tyrants i« obedience to God ;" and acting under these impressions you have made, they have violated constitutional obligations and invaded the limits of a sov- ereign State. Sir, we say these things should cease, and that we should be permit- ted the quiet enjoyment of our rights. My people deplore this exeilement, and would gladly see_ tliis subject banished forever from the Halls of Congress. Why, sir, these aggressions and jealousies between those bound together by a common origin and a common destiny?
