The/at Providence/np-tl Daily/jj-tl Journal/nn-tl answered/vbd the/at Daily/jj-tl Post/nn-tl by/in stating/vbg that/cs the/at raid/nn of/in John/np Brown/np was/bedz characteristic/jj of/in Democratic/jj-tl acts/nns of/in violence/nn and/cc that/cs ``/`` He/pps was/bedz acting/vbg in/in direct/jj opposition/nn to/in the/at Republican/np-tl Party/nn-tl ,/, who/wps proclaim/vb as/cs one/cd of/in their/pp$ cardinal/jj principles/nns that/cs they/ppss do/do not/* interfere/vb with/in slavery/nn in/in the/at states/nns ''/'' ./.
The/at two/cd major/jj newspapers/nns in/in Providence/np continued/vbd ,/, throughout/in the/at crisis/nn ,/, to/to accuse/vb each/dt other/ap of/in misrepresenting/vbg the/at facts/nns and/cc attempting/vbg to/to falsify/vb history/nn ./.


	While/cs the/at Daily/jj-tl Post/nn-tl continued/vbd to/to accuse/vb Republicans/nps and/cc the/at Daily/jj-tl Journal/nn-tl continued/vbd to/to accuse/vb Democrats/nps ,/, the/at Woonsocket/np-tl Patriot/nn-tl complained/vbd that/cs the/at Virginia/np authorities/nns showed/vbd indecent/jj and/cc cowardly/jj haste/nn to/to condemn/vb Brown/np and/cc his/pp$ men/nns ./.

The/at Providence/np-tl Daily/jj-tl Post/nn-tl thought/vbd that/cs there/ex were/bed probably/rb good/jj reasons/nns for/in the/at haste/nn in/in which/wdt the/at trial/nn was/bedz being/beg conducted/vbn and/cc that/cs the/at only/ap thing/nn gained/vbn by/in a/at delay/nn would/md be/be calmer/jjr feelings/nns ./.

For/in these/dts crimes/nns he/pps was/bedz sentenced/vbn to/to be/be hanged/vbn in/in public/nn on/in Friday/nr ,/, December/np 2/cd ,/, 1859/cd ./.

On/in Wednesday/nr morning/nn ,/, November/np 2/cd ,/, 1859/cd ,/, the/at Providence/np-tl Daily/jj-tl Journal/nn-tl stated/vbd that/cs although/cs Brown/np justly/rb deserved/vbd the/at extreme/jj penalty/nn ,/, no/at man/nn ,/, however/wql criminal/jj ,/, ought/md to/to suffer/vb the/at penalty/nn without/in a/at fair/jj trial/nn ./.
The/at editor's/nn$ main/jjs criticism/nn of/in the/at trial/nn was/bedz the/at haste/nn with/in which/wdt it/pps was/bedz conducted/vbn ./.

If/cs it/pps failed/vbd on/in occasion/nn to/to elect/vb its/pp$ candidates/nns for/in general/jj state/nn offices/nns by/in majorities/nns ,/, the/at failure/nn was/bedz due/jj to/in a/at lingering/vbg remnant/nn of/in the/at Know-Nothing/jj-tl party/nn-tl ,/, which/wdt called/vbd itself/ppl the/at American/jj-tl Republican/np party/nn-tl ./.
