A Voice From Harper's Ferry: A Narrative of Events at Harper's Ferry; With Incidents Prior and Subsequent to Its Capture by Captain Brown and His Men (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Voice From Harper's Ferry: A Narrative of Events at Harper's Ferry The idea underlying the outbreak at Harper's Ferry is not peculiar to that movement, but dates back to a period Very far beyond the memory of the oldest inhabitant, and emanated from a source much superior to the Wises and Hunters, the Buchanans and Masons of to-day. It was the appointed work for life of an ancient patriarch spoken of in Exodus, chap. Ii., and who, true to his great commission, failed not to trouble the conscience and to disturb the repose of the Pharaohs of Egypt with that inexorable, Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go until even they were urgent upon the people in its behalf. Coming down through the nations, and regardless of national boundaries or peculiarities, it has been proclaimed and enforced by the patriarch and the warrior of the Old World, by the enfranchised freeman and the humble slave of the New. Its nationality is universal; its language every where understood by the haters of tyranny; and those that accept its mission, every where understand each other. There is an unbroken chain of sentiment and purpose from Moses of the Jews to John Brown of America; from Kossuth, and the liberators of France and Italy, to the untutored Gabriel, and the Denmark Veseys, Nat Turners and Madison Washingtons of the Southern American States.
