Does no law, no Power, exist to punish Lib. 20.194. a member of Parliament who comes among us a disturber of the public peace? He should be consumed in the wrath of an indignant people for his audacity. To this, and to a threat of assassination pencilled on the margin Lib. 20.194. of the copy sent him,—Keep a sharp lookout for Colt's revolver,—Mr. Thompson felicitously responded at Worcester: Those who plead for the American slave are under the protection of Him who hath said: No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Isa. 54.17. But Mr. Garrison's prediction to Father Mathew that violence and Ante, p. 256. lawlessness would stalk the land in 1850 as in 1835, had been fulfilled; and the end was not yet. A pleasurable reminder of the earlier epoch was contained in the subjoined letter, from the author of The mart

The next day, the 31st of May, we moved him to Mr. Crenshaw's home on Church Hill, in Richmond, where he remained until he was convalescent, I remaining with him by his order until he recovered from his wound, except the time during the seven days battle, when he ordered me to report to General R. E. Lee as courier. General Johnston thanked me for recovering his sword and pistols, which were of the finest make, being a present from the inventor, Colonel Colt. The General made me a present of one of the pistols, and had on it engraved, From General Joseph E. Johnston to D. L. Armistead, and on the reverse side of the breech Seven Pines. On his recovery he also gave me a furlough to visit my home and two hundred dollars. The furlough was accepted, but the money I declined. When General Johnston was ordered to the command of the Western army, he offered to take me with him; but my friends didn't want me to leave the State, and I decided to

Arms purchased. Two small nine-pounders were quietly purchased, Colt furnished us with 100 navy revolvers, with an ample supply of pistol ammunition—of course, through several indirect channels; dumb-bells were substituted for cannon-balls, as it would have excited suspicion to have asked for such an article in Montreal; powder, bullets, slugs, butcher-knives, in lieu of cutlasses, and grapnels were obtained, and all preparations made to arm the escaped Confederate officers and soldiers who, to the number of 180, we were promised, could be induced to act with
