Montpelier (VT) Green Mountain Freeman, "The Blood of the Martyrs is the Seed of the Church," June 9, 1853

           THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS IS THE SEED OF THE CHURCH— On the very spot where the lamented Lovejoy poured out his blood, a victim to his Anti Slavery principles, stands the office of Alton Telegraph, which though hitherto of the Hunker stamp, now fearlessly and honestly remarks, in connection with a notice of the recent stampede of Slaves from Missouri.

            It would be a glorious thing for Missouri, if all her slaves should take into their hands to run away. If she only knew it, they are one of the greatest drawback to her advancement and prosperity.
