Very scarce speech by the brother and successor of abolitionist martyr, Elijah P. Lovejoy, Owen Lovejoy.

In the present, he decries the fanatical fire-eaters controlled by the invisible demons of slavery. Mr. Lovejoy hath neither in this speech, has taken off the gloves, and is giving slaveholders a what-for. I suppose if they murdered my brother, I might do the same when I heard them protest of their polite southern humanity.
