The Harper's Ferry Tragedy.
No recent occurrence has elicited so much
editorial comment from the American press as
the outbreak at Harper's Ferry. ' Moat of the
remarks made, however, are chiefly designed
to give - it 'an important political bearing. A
large number of the Democratic papers evi
dently suppose find it is 'Well calculated to
damage the future prospects of the Republican
party, and, acting upon this impression, erode.
termined to make the most of it. The Repub
' Bean; journals are- earnestly endeavoring to
ward off these supposed injurious influences,
and to draw a broad lined distinction between
BROWN, and those who sympathize with him,
and the Republican party of the country.
Leaving those whose chief aim is to benefit
one set of politicians and to injure another to
settle' their controversy as best they may, our
present purpose is simply to consider the in
surrection in its probable bearing upon the fu
ture of the country, without reference to mere
partisan considerations.
The Harper's Ferry tragedy, notwithstand•
lug the temporary alarm `and great excitement
it created among the people of the surround
ing region, is calculated to increase the secu
rity of the South from any similar movement
in future, for various reasons. The 'terrible
fate of those engaged in the late insurrection
will boa fearful warning to all disposed to imi
tate them. Nearly the whole party is now
dead, and those yet living must also anticipate
a spoety termination of their career. They
will die, too, with the knowledge that their
project is denounced by all classes—that while
['thrill of horror runs through Southern breasts
at their plot, it Is no less execrated by the en
tire 'Democracy of the North; that the Re
publican papers have disavowed in most em
phatic terms all sympathy or association with
it; that even acknowledged Abolition organs
and leaders express their decided disapproba
tion !of Rnowrr's course ; and that the negroes
of Virginia and Maryland, instead of eagerly
flocking to their standard ) could not be forced
to join it, but clung as closely to their masters
as if they had been free white members of their
households. ,
The poor success of Bnown in obtaining re
cruits is another admonition to any persons
who may in future ho disposed to undertake a
similar crusade. Notwithstanding the excited
condition, of public sentiment on the slavery
question during the last two years, the im
mense number of inflammatory speeches which
have been made in all sections of the country,
the high reputation'which BROWN had gained
for military sagacity among the Republicans
and - Abolitionists by his exploits in Kansas,
and the great pains which, according to the
correspondence published, ho appears to have
takin during several years, through personal
efforts and the efforts of his agents, to organize
, a formidable demonstration, his whole foree,,
consisted of but twenty-two persons, and they
were nearly all induced to join hint through the
force of old associations in Kansas, rather than
by any real regard or active sympathy for his
last and fatal movement.
The total indifference of the negroec to the
sacilficea which Bnown and bis confederates
were willing to make for them, should of itself
prOve a sufficient check to prevent any future
forcible demonstrations for their freedom.
The filibusters who marched to the liberation
of the Cubans, coldly as they were treated,
yet met with a less ungracious fate than
BROWN and his confederates ; for though, like
hinii they were totally unsustained by those
whom they desired to rescue, they well know
that their'eause was one with which many of
their countrymen could and did sympathize,
notwithstanding their unfortunate fate.
Tho liarper's•Ferry tragedy, whatever effect
it may have on the future politics of the coun
try, will, therefore, moat unquestionably, we
think, exeTeise a desirable influence for the
protection of the South. The fanatics who
could by-any possibility be induced to actively
co-operate with such a movement as that of
Baowx's, are notoriously lbw in number, and
those who aro not restrained from engaging in
such wild and wicked schemes by a wholesome
dread of the horrible, nature of servile insur
rections, and a propel. regard for their obliga
tions as citizens of the United States, will
shudder hereafter at the thought of the terrible
penalties they would necessarily incur if they
imitated BROWN'S example ; and they will
shrink from the folly of, attempting to forcibly
set free those who neither desire freedom, nor
are re .arod for its 'roper exercise, and who
been cieated that nothingbut fear chains slaves
to their masters, and that they would gladly
wekome any who came to eet them free, the
experience of Bnowx will thoroughly dispel it.
Besides these circumstanbes, the prompt
ness with •wffich 'the troops of Virginia and
Maryland, and the United States marines, ar
rived at Harper's Ferry, and the outburst of
public sentiment in every quarter of the
Union, indicative ofthe readiness of hundreds
of thousands of men to have marched, if neces
sary, to the scene of difficulties, to suppress a
servile insurrection, must powerfully impress
the mind of every fanatic who has a glimpse of
reason left, with the fact that uo conspiracy
against the South, however carefiilly and skil
fully organized—though it had a hundred
Browns at the head of it, and was composed of
five hundred such companies as he mustered
into his service—could be successful.
While these lessons cannot fail to prothice
wholesome impression upon the minds of
those who cherish a sympathy for Bnowles
designs, other influences have been evoked by
the Harper's Ferry insurrection, to serve as a
check upon the policy ofthe Republican party.
The politicians of that organization have been
taught most forcibly by the Harper's Ferry
outbreak that no persons in the Union are
more deeply interested in preventing all such
movements in future than themselves. They
know that they are being held responsible by
the -Democratic press of the country for what
has occurred, and that some minds may be
more or less influenced by the charge that
they are, to some extent, accountable for
Joint Baow.x's movements. d'i'e are not now
discussing the justice'of this accusation—whe
ther true or false it matters not for our present
purpose—but it is evident that the interests of
the politicians of the Republican party require
them to do all in their power to suppress fu
ture insurrections.
• "While lessons of this character have been
taught to the ultra-Abolitionists and the Re
publicans of the North, tho occurrences at
Harper's Ferry should not be without their
influence upon the policy and future action of
the South. They should do much to check
the growth of the fooling fora revival of the
slave trade, which has been manifested in a
number of the Southern States. Notwith
standing the complete failure of the late at
tempt, it must practically recall to Southern
minds the inevitable horrors of a successful
insurrection, and induce the people of the
South to refteet, with solemn earnestness, upon
the folly and danger of further increasing a
population necessarily servile in its character,
and which,' in the natural course of events,
without a foreign importation of blacks, is in
creasing with alarming rapidity. However
secure the South may be in the control of her
preaenfrilive population; slid should consider,
with deep concern, how her slaves can be ma
naged' in future if the flood-gates are - opened
for time ingress of - the wild barbarians of
Africa in countless thousands, and if a new
element of future danger is thus Introduced.
The South might also learn from the Harper's
Perry outbreak the folly of permitting extreme
men in her own scction.to commit her to doc
trines and movements which, while they add
nothing really valuable to her own security
and protection, estrange front her active sup
port thousands of Northern men who are
naturallyfas eager and anxious to sustain all
her legitimate, constitutional rights as her own
children. She should learn to shun the policy
offembeentingand proscribing men for honest

cumstances, would be her natural allies. She

THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY; OCTOBER 27, 1859..
Interchange of Compliments.
Prince NAPOLEON, son ofJsimak, ,is said
to be on the eve of paying a flve=days visit
to London, and the Emperor of Austria is
reported to be on the eve of becoming the
guest of the Emperor of the French; in the
rural retirement of Oompeigne. Queen Vic-
Tom will probably lie in Windsor or Osborne
when Prince PLoN-PLoN visits London,. in
which event she must receive and entertain
him. The Austrian Emperor;at the French
court, will be made the object of every atten
tion—so much so, that he well may wonder
whether his host really is the person who de
feated him at Solferino, a few months since.
Politics, like misery, gives a man strange bed
fellows.
The Emperors of Austria and Russia aro
also to have a fhendly meeting at Warsaw.
There has been some coolness between them,
owing to the position Russia took during the
lato war, but no quarrel. If they should
agree to make common cause against IsLiro-
Lp.ox T More improbable events have lately
occurred.
Queen VICTORIA'S son, Prince ALBERT, the
midshipman, is about visiting the Sultan, at
Constantinople. The young gentleman is
learning navigation very pleasantly, at any
fate.
Austria, France, and Sardinia.
There are conflicting rumors in Europe, as
we learn by the foreign papers brought by the
Persia, respecting the Zurich Conference.
Ono account has it that Austria refused to
sign the treaty of peace, considering that the
compact of Villa Franca has not been acted
up to, and making pecuniary claims on Lom
bardy which Franco will not, and Sardinia
cannot accede to. The set-off to these claims
would bo the expenses of the war, which, pro
voked as it Was by the tyranny of Austria in
Italy, ought not be borne by France and Sar
dinia. On the other hand, it is declared that
the treaty of Zurich would immediately be
completed, after which there is to be a Con;
forence of the Great European Powers, Eng
land included, finally to adjust the affairs of
Italy. It is also said, but seems almost in
credible, that Franco makes a demand, upon
the Bing of Sardinia, of an indemnity from
Piedmont of the expenses of the war—almost'
incredible because VICTOR EIIIIANREL was not
allowed to have any voice in the adjustment
at Villa Franca.
Public Amusements.
A new and thoroughly original play is something
to think of. A new and good play, written by en
American lady, is a great deal more. Such is
"Geraldine." by Mrs. Bateman, of which the Bos
ton Conner says "Its language is singularly
beautiful; it has a stately movement, yet flows
most musically along. The interest of the specta
tor is axone,' by the first lines and is kept up du
ring the whole play—kept up, too, by simple
beauty, by chaste elegance of style. In fine, we
consider ' Geraldine' a play of remarkable power
and spirit, an honor to our literature, and a work
far in advance
. of any previous specimen of the
American drama,"
Prom the same source we take a summary of the
incidents : In the first place the plot is original.
A young girl, Geraldine, is betrothed to Hubert,
Crusader, by the fathers of the two parties. Six
years are to elapse between the betrothal and the
marriage following the return of Hubert from the
wars. During the ceremonies of the betrothal a
Welsh bard is introduced. It appears that the
bloody baron, Geraldine., father, has done many
wrongs to him, and, among others, has for long
years kept a son of the wandering musician chained
In a dungeon beneath the castle. The bard curses
the whole company, especially the principal actors
In the scene of the hour, and thus olosea the first not.
Tho second act opens after a supposed lapse of six
yam. Hubert 15 just returning home to claim his
bride. During these years the curse of the bard
as been working. The fathers of both the
•oung people have mysteriously died. A dire
sickness has wasted the beauty and twisted
the form of Geraldine. With great care the
. nowledge of her changed appearance has been
apt from her, and though she Is aware that Time
net have left some traces Obis passage, she knows
.ot of her deformity. During these years, also,
Edith, the sister of Geraldine, has been growing to
womanhood of beauty, and upon her and the ab
.ent Hiebert\all the thoughts and affections of Ge
aldine are ,expended. Hubert, approaching, and
siting 'for the last night a little way from the
&Ale of his betrothed, is informed by a friar, An
rlmo, of Closed change which has some upon the
orm of Geraldine; the friar also communicates the
aid wishes of the Earl, his father, who left a writ
eu request that deformity should not turn the
• sung man's heart from his early vows. Hubert
:wears eternal ponstancy, in spite of outward
she is to find her. lover, hoarser chance remark
which reveals to her the deformity under which
she has so long, in ignorance, lived. She is for the
moment borne down by the blow, then recovers,
and tearing the contract of betrothal, releases Hu
bert from his vows. He, however, will not suffer
this, but declares his love to be as strong as ever,
and the third sot closes thus. Ansc/mo, the friar
spoken of, is the son of the old Welsh bard. In
revenge for his wrongs, and those of his father, be
determines to destroy the remnant of this family.
Edith, the young sister of Geraldine, who till now
had been free in heart,. conceives a sudden and
strong affection for Hubert. This appears in the
fourth not, and there we see the friar, to whose
knowledge this has come, eLdeavoring to poison Ge.
raldtne's mind against Edith and Hubert, now her
husband. Ito succeeds in causing the deformed
wife to believe that she is wronged, and she re.
solves to slay her sister. Her great love, and the
artless protestations of the young girl, however,
turn her from her purpose; and believing that
Hubert and Edith love eaoh other, and that shels
en obstacle to their happiness, she determines to
kill herself. She takes poison, and when she is in
the agonies of death, the frier Anse/etc, believing
that she has also murdered Edith, throws off tho
mask, declares hiniself, and his purposes of ven
geance, long nursed, and informs the dying Geral
dine that Ihrbert has ever been true, both In heart
and deed.
Forty-two nights' performance, and success, at
WsHack's Theatre, Now York, (whore it was origi
nally produced), and at the Howard Athentettm,
Boston, sufficiently establish the acceptability of
this play. It was performed last night at Walnut
street Theatre, and we have but to see how it was
aoted there.
The interest is very fairly divided among the
performers, though, ns might be expected, to Ge
raldine a greater portion was given than to any
ono else. In the first am, the great points were
made by Mr. Perry, as the Bard, who wee admira
bly made up, and had to daunt a sort of recita
tive, to music, in which he related the history of
his ruined house and deserted hearth, told how the
father of Geraldine had exorcised tyranny upon
Maternity, and concluded with uttering a fearful
curse, delivered with truly impressive declama
tion. This, causing Geraldine to swoon, was the
finale of the first act. Mr. Perry does not again
appear in the play. lie was called out when the
aot-curtain dropped, and made hie bow.
Mr. Showell, as the Bard's son, who appears in
the four following sots as Anschno, the Prior, re.
solved to have revenge done to his father, his
family, and himself, has little opportunity of what
may be called playing until the close of the play,
when, believing that Grrahline, maddened with
jealousy, had murdered her sister and thereby
consummated his revenge, ho triumphantly throws
off the mask, exposes his purpose and its cause,
and is confouthlod by the discovery that, after all,
the consummation he sought remains unfulfilled.
This scene he played with judgment as well as
energy, and was very effective.
In the last act, too, Miss Miller, as Edith de
Lary, Geraldine' .1 sister, elevated the character
above that of a "walking lady," which we feared,
at first, she was going to make it. The dialogue
with Geraldine, when she affirms her Innocence of
guilty love for Hubert, and successfully seeks to
clump her sister's fell iiurpose, was given with
earnestness and effect. She looked the blooming
and beautiful young maiden to the life. Mr.
Head had a part (Hubert de Bourg) of which no
acting could make much; Mr. Vining Beware as
Gainho, and Mrs. Thayer as a garrulous Nurse, had
little to do—and did it.
Geraldine's charnoter:delicately drawn by the
author, was ably developed by the Actress. In the
first net we ilea her young, lovely, end loving. In
' the long Interval supposed to elapse between that
act and the rost of the play, she Is changed In
mind as well as In person—the mind matured,
the body warped. In heart there is no change—
for she levee Hubert and Edith as warmly as in
maidenhood's earlier hours. Her Ignorance of the
deformity which has come on, during the lapse of
time, is well accounted for in the Play, and one of the
fnest effeete she made wee at the reception of the
intelligence, which conlirmed the idea she had just
received that she was so sadly changed. The great
point in the play—equal, almost, to Fanny
Xemble's celebrated "Do it I" in tho " Hunch.
back"—wee the utterance, with 'robot., look and at
thuds in unison of the words "I am alone !" at the
close of the fourth act. in the scene); that follow,

were superb—as became her princely station. The
scenery was now, and does credit to that able ar
tint, Mr. Heisler. The opening scene, represent.
ing a banquet in a baronial ball in the feudal
times, was splendid.
At the close of the play, as Roll 49 during pw

(Correspondence of ThewPAres:N" Oct. 26, 18503
What is the matter in Philadelphia between the
ofiioe•holders and teeny of those who have hereto
fore supported the policy of Mr. Buchanan on the
ICansas question? Groat consternation is visible
in certain quarters, and the visits of Mr. Tyler,
Mr. Van Dyko, and the Austrian editor of one of
the Administration organs, show that there is trou
ble brewing. Can 'lt he that the President's pro
scription has fired the minds of independent men
in the Demooratio party who have been willing to
accept hie Kansas policy, and that they now see the
road to success in repudiating himself and hie Ad
ministration? Something of this sort must be in
the wind. I ought to congratulate you, and the
hold men with whom you have been associated, for
the manner in which your course is about to be
vindicated. Tyre has been a good deal of talk
in regard to Democrats going outside of the or-
ganisation, and certain threats are indulged that
men who, like yourself, have refused to support
candidates nominated as the champions of James
Buohanan's treacheries, shall never be permitted to
re-enter the organization. I ask now, what would
any movement against the intolerance of the Admin
istration have amounted to but for the revolt led by
Broderick, Hickman, Raskin, and their noble
compeers? Their example hag given courage to
others. They showed that they were not afraid of
power when it was strongest; and so confident were
they in the justice of their cause, that their two
years war upon the Administration was so un
answerable and irresistible, that all were broken
down who attempted to stop them and hundreds
were brought from the other aide. Maintain your
position. Let the war between the office-holders and
the honest men in tho Administration ranks go on.
It will produce good results; and if the latter will
continuo it with proper vigor, and will honestly lay
down the great truths to which the friends of The
Press are committed, then the conquering column
of the State-Rights Democracy may come in and
assist with their votes.
It is highly probable that Mr. Buchanan will
proceed to erect a very neat and highly polished
guillotine in the marble palace on Chestnut street,
in your city. He has long contemplated this ex
periment. A numberof gentlemen in Philadelphia
have presented him models for his inspeotion, hut
T think Mr. District Attorney Van Dyke, who is a
good deal of a mechanic, besides being a fine law
yer, has invented a machine which will do the
work cleanly, quickly, and gracefully—ending the
agony of the 'loft with very little blood, and 'a
very few faint " shrieks for freedom." The rumor
that the President has olosed one eye,so as to take
a keener glance at at least two of he officials In
your marble palace, while it has created some
trembling in the departments, has excited a num
ber of hopes in other quarters. Our friend Jinks,
to whom I have not lately paid my respects, is
understood to be a candidate for collector,
to fill a forthcoming vacancy in your city.
Many people doubt Whether there is such a man
as Mr. Jinks—whether he is not a myth, an appa ,
rition, a elladow, a sort of Jack Downing—a kind
of Simon Suggs, another Mrs. Partington in
breeches. I hasten to say that all such suggestions
aro libels. Mr. Jinks is a veritable flesh-and
blood personage, who eats and drinks like other
mortals, and drams a good salary for certain eon
etruotive services in one of the departments, end
who is, withal, a very faithful and fearless friend
of Mr. Buchanan. Ile in a candidate for col
lector. Why should he nut be? Ho is a
native-born Pennsylvanian, a citizen of Bucks
county, comes of a good family, knows the politics
of the interior of your State, and the public' men ;
held office, I think, under a former collector in Phi
ladelphia, and is entirely devoted to the personal
and political fortunes of the President. Why
should not Mr. Jinke follow Mr. Baker, if Mr. Be.
ker must go out?
Sines the last delegate elections in Philadelphia,
the President hegira to pay groat attention to your
coming delegate elections, those which—as Colonel
Florence informs me—are to be hold in November.
He is resolved that not a single precinct in your
groat city shall go for any man not entirely com
mitted to his policy and his Administration.

we will inform them that it is situate about one
mile to the left of the " Bell", on the Darby road.
about seven miles from town, and is easily aocenible
by the Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, the
Darby Passenger Railroad, or by a well.appointed
horse and wagon, which latter mode we prefer.
The Park itself includes eighty-five acmes, nearly
dead level, covered with the greenest and closest
turf, and the track is said by tonnois.seurs to be
the finest in the Union fur trotting purposes. It is
owned by a stock company, who purchased the
grounds about a year since for $20,000, and 'is pre.
sided over by Mr. James H. Kelly, well known in
the sporting world, and to whom we are indebted fur
many courtesies and civilities while on the ground.
The third story of his stand-house, exclusively
devoted to gentlemen of the press and others, Was.
an object of great attraotion yesterday afternoon,
and wilt well repay tiro visits of the curious. The
Park is surrounded by a high and substantial
hoard fence; that portion of which near the en
trance gate has been seited upon by several of
our most enterprising advertisers, and even the
Young Illen's Christian Association have pursued
Sin even unto the racing track, and placarded
their solemn warnings iu stencilled brevity, This
combination of the sacred and the profane ou tho
some pins plank would have, in minds tinctured
with levity, a tendency to produce ludicrous emo
tions.
To any one accustomed to the order of a British
race-course, the perfectly froo-and-ensy style of
every detail on a race-track here would strike him
with surprise. The course not cleared until the
last instant of time, individuals thereby recklessly
incurring the heaviest obligations to Providence,
without the slightest intention of ever redeeming
them.; the riders of the horses Old in a costume,
the only part of which that looked like sport g
being the spurs, and the mere sight of wh , h
would throw an English groom into eon 1.
Mons, yet riding their horses boldly and well—
all of these things strike a stranger as novelties,
and many of them as requiring reformation, which
doubtless they will, in the course of time, receive.
At the west aide, and immediately opposite the
judges, is the stand, which is at present only a tem
porary structure, but commands a view of &very

to any other we have seen in this country. We

TIM ZURICH CONFERENCES
The statem ants in regard to the poeition of affairs
at the Zurich Conferences are conflicting. A tele
gram, dated Zurich, Oat. 12, saps:
"The Conforances do not draw to a oboe Aug-
trio still refuses to diminish the amount of the debt
of Lombardy to be borne by Sardinia. Tho do
mande of Austria are not only resisted by Sardinia,

yet been received to this proposition. The French
llovemment wishes the arrears of pensions of
Monte Napoleon, and an indemnity for the cost of
the late war, to ho included iu the settlement of
the debt winds will have to bo paid by Austria and
Piedmont."
A variety of rumors to the erect that Austria
positively declines to sign the treaty of peace, if it
is not in accordance with the preliminaries of Vll

war—that Austria has undertaken to guaranty to
the Pope the conservation'of his temporal power

worth.
Oa the other band, there are statements that the
signing of the treaty of Zurich was hourly expect

would afterward meet in Congtees.

THE HARPER'S FERRY INSURRECTION
TRIAL OF THE PRISONERS.
CHARLESTOWN, Oct. 26.—The Circuit Cotirt met
at ton o'clock this morning, Judge Parker on the
bench.
The Grand Jury were called, and after anee slim;
to their namet, retired to resume the examination
of the witnesses, when the court took a recess
while awaiting the return of the Growl Jury.
.fifr. Johnson, United Statea marshal from Cleve
land, Ohio, arrived this morning. and on visiting
the prisoners, identified Copeland as a fugitive
of justice from Ohio. Ills object is supposed to be
to ferret out testimony implicating other parties.
The excitement here continues unabated, and the
town is crowded with people from the surrounding
country. The event is universally regarded as
proving the faithfulness of the slaves, and no fears
are entertained of them; but the military guard is
kept up from the fearer an attempted rescue of the
prisoners. Much consternation is created among
the slaves by a fear of being seised like those of
Col. Washington, and they firmly believe that the
object of the prisoners woo to take them to the
South and soil them. Not a single slave hoses yet
been implicated as even sympathizing with the in
surreetionists. Those carried off were all recap
tured and returned to their masters.
An armed guard is still patrolling around the
jail, and cannon are posted in front.
Captain Brown has consented to allow Messrs.
Faulkner and Botts to act as his connsel, they as
suring him that they will defend him faithfully,
and give him the advantage of,orery privilege that
the law will allow.
Stephen' declares that lie deem not desire to bo
defended by Northern eounaol, preferring Southern,
and that the Court should name them.
There is a decided sympathy for Stephens, not
only on account of his sufferings, but because he
has shown none of that vindictiveness and bardi•
hood that characterises Brown, and his course is
regarded as having resulted from folly. The ex
anunation yesterday indicated that other prisoners
have lost their oonfidence in Brown, and era not
disposed to follow him is his defiant course.
At noon the court reassembled, and the Grand
Jury reported a traebill against the prisoners, and
were discharged.
Charles B. Harding. EN., assisted by Andrew
Hunter, Esq., represents the Commonwealth, and
Charles J. Faulkner and Lawson Botts, Esq., ap
peared as counsel for the prisoners.
A true bill found against each prisoner was read.
They contain three counts,' First, for conspiring
with negroea to produoe an insurrection ; second,
for treason to the Commonwealth, and third, for
murder.
The prisoners were brought into court accom
panied by a body of armed men. They passed
through the street and entered the court house
without the slightest demonstration on the part of
the people.
Brown looked better, hie eye being not 90 much
swollen. Stephens had to be supported, and re
clined on a mattress on the floor of the court room,
evidently unable to alt. Ile bee the appearance
almost of a dying men, breathing with difficulty,
end panting for breath.
Before reading the arraignment, Mr. Hunter
called the attention or the court to the necessity
of appointing additional counsel for the prisoners, ac
Mr. Faulkner, appointed by the county court, eon.
sidering hie duty as having ended, had left here.
The prisoners had, therefore, no other counsel in
court than Mr. Botts. If the court was about to
assign them other counsel, it might be proper to
do so now.
• The Court stated that it would assign them any
members of the bar they might seleet. Alter con.
Butting Brown, Mr. Botts stated that the prisoner
retained him, and desired to hero Mr. Croon to
assist bim. If the court would accede to that ar
rangement, it would be very agreeable to him per
sonally,
The Court requested Mr. Green to act as conceal
for the prisoners, and he cemented to do an.
Blunt' then arose and Bald • Ido nottntend to
detain the court, but briefly wish to say, that as I
have bees promised a fair trial, that I am not now
in eircuutstamos that enable mo to att en d t o a
trial, owing to the state of my health. I have a
severe injury In the back, or rather in ono kidney,
which enfeebles me very touch, but I am doing
well, and only ask for a vary short delay of my
trial, and I think I may get able to listen to it,
and I..rnerely ask this that, as the saying in, the
devil may have his due—no wore.
I wish to say, further, that my hearingls impair
ed, and rendered indistinct in consequence of
wounds I have about my head. I cannot hear dis
tinctly at all. I could not hear what the court said
thin morning. I would be glad to hear what la
said on my trial, and lam now doing better than
I could expect, under the circumstances. A
very short time would be all I would ask. Ido
not presume to ask more than a very short delay,
so that I may in some degree recover, and be able,
at local, to listen to my trial, and bear what toes.
dons are asked of the either's, and what their an-
eeed with his trial at - this time. .ie leis also
heard, to-day, that counsel of his own choice will
be here, whom he will, of course, prefer. He mike
only for a delay of two or three days. It moms to
ins but a reasonable request, and 1 hope the Court
will grant it.
Mr. Hunter said he did not think It the duty of
the prosecutor for the Commonwealth, or for one
occupying that position, to oppose anything that
justice required, ner to object to anything that
involved *simple consideration of humanity, wise.%
it could be properly allowed ; yet in regal.] to this
proposition to delay the trial of John Brown one,
two, or three days, they deemed it their duty
that the court, before determining the matter,
should be put iu possession of facts and circum
stances judicially, that they were aware of in the
line of their duties as prosecutors. His own opi
nion was, that it was not proper to delay the trial
of this prisoner for a single day, and that there
was no neoessity for it. He alluded, In general
terms, to the condition of things with which they ,
wore now surrounded, being such as rendered it
dangerous, to say nothing of the exceeding pres
sure upon the physical resources of our community
growing out of the circumstances connected with
the affairs for which the prisoners are to he tried,
and that our law in making special provisions for
allowing a briefer time than usual in ease of con
viction of suoh offenders, within the discretion of
the court, between condemnation and execution,
evidently indicates Indirectly the necessity for act
ing promptly and decisively, though always justly,
in proceedings of this kind. In reference to the ,
physical condition of Brown, he asked the court tot'
to receive unimportant statements of the pri
soners as sufficient ground of delay, but that
the jailor and physicians be examined. As
to expecting counsel from abroad, he said no
impediment heel been thrown in the way -of
the prisoners procuring such counsel es they
desired; but, on the contrary, every facility
afforded. Able and intelligent counsel buffoon
Resigned them here, and he apprehended there was
little reason to expect the attendance of those gen
tlemen from the North who had been written to.
There was also a public duty resting upon them, to
avoid, as far as possible within the forms of law,
with referents.: to the' great and never-to-be-lost
sightot principle—i. e., giving a fair and impartial
trial to the pruonere—the introduction of anything
likely to weaken our present position, and to give
strength to our enemies abroad, whether It Issues
from the Jury, or whether it comes from the mouth
of the prisoners, or any other some.. It was their
position that had been Imperilled and jeopardised,
as they suppose, by enemies.
Mr. Harding concurred in the objections of Mr.
Hunter, on the ground of danger in delay. Also,
because Brown was the leader of the Insurrection.
and his trial ought to be proceeded with on account
of the advantage thereby scorning on the trial of
the others.
Mr. Green remarked that he hail enjoyed no op
portunity for ellOsulting with the prisoner or pre
paring a defence. The letters for Northern coun
sel had been sent Off, but not sufficient time afforded
to receive answers. Under the eircumstances he
thought a short delay desirable.
Mr. Botts added th tt at present the excitement
was so great as, perhaps, to deter Northern conn
sel from coming; but now that it had been pro
mised tint the prisoners were to have a fair and
impartial trial ho presumed they would come and
take part In the cane.
The Court stated that if physical Inability was
shown a reasonable delay must be granted. As to
the expectation of other counsel, that did not con-
Istituto a sufficient cause for delay, as there was no
certainty shoat their coming. Under the dream
stances in which the prisoners were situated, it was
natural that they should seek delay. The brief
period remaining before the close of the term of
the court rendered it necessary to proceed as expe
ditions as was practicable, and to be cautious about
granting delays. Ito would request the physician
who had attended Brown to testify as to his con
dition.
Dr. Melon thought that Brown was able to go on
understandingly with his trial. He did not think
his wounds were such as to affect his mind or re
oolleetion. lie had always conversed freely and
intelligently about this affair ; had heard bins com
plain of debility, but not of hardness of beiring.
Mr. Cockerill, one of the guards at the jail, said
Brown had always been ready to converse freely.
Mr. Avis, the jailor, was sworn. Re said he had
heard Brown frequently say to persons visitinghim
that his mind was conftised, and his hearing affect
ed.
Ile would not like to give any opinion as to
his—
