The Republican papers—at least the more ! dishonest and unscrupulous—are frying to shift the responsibility which attaches to their pcrty in the Harper's Ferry Insurrection. This was to be expected, of course, because no party could openly take the responsibility and live. But the declaratic s of their leaders prior to the outbreak, the fact that Giddings, who is the leading roan in the Republican rank 3 in Ohio, and Gerrit Smith, who at one time rep resented a Republican District '.n Congress, were both implicated i.i the conspiracy, and the confession of BROWN that he had numerous sympathisers in every free state in the Union, prove beyond question, that the Republican party was to a great extent, instrumental in bringing about this bloody and lamentable tra gedy. We append a portion of Gerrit Smith's celebrated "Jerry Rescue" letter, and also the well known sentiment uttered by W. H. Se-v --ard, at Rochester, N. Y., when stumping the State for MORGAN, the present Republican Governor of New York. It wiil be seen that Smith talks about telegraphs and railroads be ing rendered useless in an hour. This was literally fulfilled at Harper's Ferry. It will also be observed that S j warJ says that ' they who think that it (the collision between the North and the South) is accidental, unnecessary, the work of interested or fanatical agitators, and therefore ephemeral, mistake the case alic gf.ther.', This declaration of the great origina tor 3nd life-giving head of the Republican par ty, completely refutes the excuse set up bv Re publicans that Brown's conspiracy was mereiy the work of a crazy and irresponsible fanatic. But read the programme of Smith and Sewaid, and then say whether Republicanism is tree f:om the blame which public opinion is fast placing upon if.— Ed. Gazette. EXTRACT FROM LETTER OF UON. GERRIT SMITH, TO J. THOMAS, OF SYRACUSE, N. i\, A UG. 2?TH, 18b9. Governor Seward was rijhf in raying that the Stales must ultimately all be secured to free dom or ginen up to slavery. But he did cu.t see that his standing by slavery in the slave States renders unavailing his opposition to its extension into the free Stales.

I No wonder, then, ia it that in this stale of, 1 facts which I have sketched, intelligent black men in the States and Canada should see no' hope for their race in the practice and policy i of white men. JVo wonder they are brought j ;to the conclusion that no resource is left to j them but in God and insurrections. For in | surrections, then, we may took any year, any month, any day, vl terrible remedy for a terri ble wrong. But come itmmustf t unlets anticipa ted by repentance and the putting away of the terrible wrong. It will be said that these insurrections will be failures , that they will be put down. Yes, but will not slavery nevertheless be put. down j by them ? For what portions are there of Hie South that, wiil cling to slavery oflcr two or three considerable insurrections shall have fil i led tne whole South with horror ? And is it | entirely certain that these insurrections will be , put down promptly, and before they can have spread far ? Will telegraphs and railroads be , too swih for even the swiftest insurrections ? i Remember that railroads and telegraphs can 1 jbe rendered useless in an hour. Remember, ! too, that many, who would be glad to face the j insurgents, would be busy in transporting their j j wives and daughters to places where they | ! would be safe from that worst fate which hus • bands and lathers can imagine for their wives j | and daughtejs. I admit that but for this em- ( ; barrassment, Southern men would laugh at the i idea of an insurrection, and would quickly dis j pose of one. But trembling as they would for ; their beloved ones, I know of no part of the ! world, where so much as in the South, men would be likely <-t a formidable in rur reef ion, to ' j Bavz the most important iime, and be da : traded and panic stricken. When the day cf her calamity shall have come ; \ to the South, and fire and tape, and slaughter j shall be filling up the measure of her affliction, ! then wiil the Aoilh have two reasons for re-; j morse First. T'-at she was not willing (whatever! | the attitude ol the South at this pcintj to snare ! 1 with her in the expense and loss ol an irr,me j diale and universal emancipation. , Second. That she was not willing to vote' | slavery out of existence. Then, too, when alas it w'il! be t>o late, will ; be seen in the vivid light ol the sufferings of j j our Soul hern brethren, both black and white, ! how shameful and of what evil influence was ; | the apostacy of* those "Jerrv Rescuers," who ■ j were guilty of falling from the "Jerry level"! and casiing pro-slavery vol But why should ] bave eoken of the sor-j rows that await the South ?

How, then, i can it be hoped that she will respect another's? j If the South will not with her own Jt flerson ''tiembie" when reQecling that "Clod is just" ; —if she will not see with her own Jefierson that "the Almighty has no attribute which car. ■ take side with her in "a contest" with her j ' slave.?," then who is there either North cr South that is capable of moving her fears and helping her to safety ?

They who think that it is accidental; i unnecessary, tne work ol interested or fanati- ; ; cal agilatois, and therefore ephemeral, mistake i : the case altogether. It is an irrepressible con : diet between opposing and enduring ibrces, and jit means that tne United States must and will ; sooner or later, become entirely as ave-.holding j nation or entirely a free labor nation. Either! j the cotton and rice fields of South Carolina and ; tae sugar plantations of Louisiana will uiti mately be titled bv tree labor, and Charleston ' and New Orleans become marts for legitimate ! merchandise mcme, or else the rye fields and ; wheat fields of Massachusetts and New York ■ must again be surrendered by their farmers to slave culture, and to tl>e production of slave, and Boston and New ork become once more mar kets for trade in the bodies and souls ol' I men. "Circumstances alter Gases." i Had it been a tiiumph, the Black Republi can tebellion at Harper's Ferry would have i been praised and sanctioned by the organs of that party. Brown would then have been a I htro in their estimation ; he is now in their ; eyes, "a madman." The whole scheme would | have been a masterly movement of the good { and the true—a revolution which would have been equal to the one brought to a successful ; close by the illustrious Washington ! But it ; was a miserable failure ; it was, therefore, a j folly, and its ostensible leader a fanatic ! So i it was with Louis Napoleon when he attacked i ! Boulogne, many years ago, "with a tame eagle." He was a madman. All Europe said so, and why ? Because he was unsuccessful. Had h® triumphed, he would at once have been pronounced a hero. So with old Brown.— Had he not so egregiously tailed, there is no doubt he would have been canonized bv the ] Black Republicans, whose agent lie has so ; faithfully been. He was hissed on by the 1 | teachings and arguments <>f such men as Se ! ward a..d Smith, and Giddings : and many ol ' the other Black Republican leaders in the | Northern and Eastern Sates are also implica : ted, and it is a crying sin for them now to do *e;t their friend and agent iu tiro.- of need. Freedom cf Thought atd Opinion. MISCELLANEOUS. Divorced by Mistake. One Winter there came to Trenton, New Jersey, two men, named Smith and JoneS, who had both of them designs on the Legisa ture. Joaes had a bad wife and was in love with a pretty woman—be wished to be divor ced frotn his bad wife, so that he might marry the pretty woman, who, by the way was a widow, with black eyes, and such a form ! Therefore Jones came to Trenton for a divorce. Smith had a good wife, good as an angel, and the mother of ten children, and Smith did not u-a.it So be divorce J, but Wanted to get a charier fir a turnpike or plankroad to extend from Pig's Run to Terrapin Hollow. Weil, they, with these different errands, came to Trenton, and addressed the assembled wisdom with the usual arguments. First, sup pers, mainly composed ot oysters with rich background of venision ; second, liquors in great pientv, from "Jersey lightning,"—which is a kind of a locomotive at full speed, reduced to !:quir shape—to Newark champagne. To speak in plain prose, the divorced man gave a champagne supper, and Smith, the turn pike man, followed wiili a champagne break list, under the mollifying influence ot which the assembled wisdom passed both the divorce and tu ipike bills ; and Jones and Smith—a copy of. ;dl bill m thrir pocket—went home rejoicing, over many miles of sand, and through the ti ibulatioii of many stage coaches. Smith arrived home in the evening, and as he sat down in the parlor, his pretty wife b*- si:ie him—how pretty she did look ! and live o! her . children over-hearing the otner five -sudying Iheir lessons in the corner of the room, Smith was induced to expatiate upon the good j results oi ins rrusion to Trenton. "A turnpike, my dear ; I am one of the ! Directors, and will be President. It will set j tne up, love ; we ca i send our children to the ] boarding-school, and live in style out of the j toll. Here is tae charter, honey." "Ret me see it," said the pretty little wife, j who was one of the nicest of wives, with j plumpness and goodness dimpling all over her lace. "Let me see it," as she leaned over P.lr. Smith's shouider. But all at once Smith's visage grew long; Smith's wife's visage grew black. Smith was not pstofane, but now lie ripped out an awful oath. .'■lf last us, wife, those infernal scoundrels at Trecto'. have gone and divorced us!" It was too true the parchment / which he held was a bill of divorce, in which thejnameg ot > ni'b and Smith's wife appeared in \ t- ; nlly I 'g'ole cbarac'ers. .rs. Smith wiped her eyes with the corner ! of her apron. "Here's a turnpike," said she sadly, "and with the whole of our ten children staring me in the face, 1 aint your wife ! Here's a lurn oike." "Blast the pike and the Legislature, and—" Weil the lact is that Smith, reduced to ; single blessedness, enacted into a stranger to ius own wife, swore awfully. Although the ! night was dark, and most ol the denizens of Smith's town bad gone to bed, Smith bid his ! late wile to put on her bonnet, and arm and j arm they proceeded lo the clergyman of their ! church. I "Goodness bl -s rr.e !" exclaimed the good 1 man, as he saw them enter. Smith looking iike the last oi June shad, Smith's wife wiping | her eves with the corner of her apron—"Good ; ness bless me, what's the matter ?" "! he matter is, I want you to marry u.s two ! right off," replied Smith. "Marry |you !" ejaculated the clergyman I with expanded fingers and awful eyes ; "are you drunk, or what 13 the matter with you ?" However, he finally married them over j straightway and would not take a tee ; the fact i is, grave as he was, he was dying to be alone that be might give vent to a suppressed laugh that was shaking him all over ; and Smith and Smith's wife went joyfully home and kissed every one of their children. The little Smiths { never knew that their lather and mother bad ever been made strangers to each other by iegi-iative enactment. Meanwhile, an i on the same night, Jones returned to his native town —Burlington, I be lieve — and sought at once the fine black eyes which he had hoped shortly to call his own.— The pretty widow sat on the sola, a white ker chief tied carelessly around her white throat, j her black hair laid in silky waves against each ' rosy cheek. "Divorce is the word," cried Jones, playful . ly potting her double chin ; "the Let is, Eliza, i I'm rid of that cursed woman, and you and I'll be married to-night. I knew how to manage those scoundreis at Trenton. A cham i pagne supper—or wa it a breakfast, did tne I business for tbein. "Put on your bor.net and i let us go to the preacher's at once, dearest." The widow, who was among widows a? peaches among apples, put on her bonnet and took Jones's arm, and I "Just look how handsome it is put on parch ment !" cried Jones, pulling out the document i before her ; "here's the law that says that Jacob Jones and Ann Caroline Jones are two." ! Putting her plump gloved hand on hisshoul ' Jer she did look. "O dear !" she said, with her her rosy lips, and sank back half fainting on the sofa. "O blazes ! cried Jones, and sank beside her ) rustling the fatal parchment in his hand ; "here's a lot of happiness and champagne gone | take (?) had occurred on the last day J of the session, when legislators and transcri bing clerks weje laboring under a champagne breakfast.

When he left ; home bis family were enjoying good health, ] and he anticipated a pleasant journey. The j second morning after his arrival in Boston, when j leaving his bed to dress for breakfast, he saw re- j fleeted in a mirror the corpse of a woman lying i on the bed from which fie had just risen ! Spell j bound, he gazed with intense feeling, and tried ! to recognise the features of the corpse, but in } vain ; he coutd not even move fiis eyelids ; for ! how long he knew not. He was at la3t i tied bv the ringing of the b*H for breakfast, j and sprang to the bed to sa'.isly himself if what j he had seen reflected in the mirror was reai or j aa illusion. Hr found the bed as he had left] it ; lie looked again into the mirror but saw on- 1 Iv the bed truly reflected. During the day lie i thought much upon the illusion, and determined j next morning to rub his eyes and fee! perfectly j sure that he was wide awake before he left his 1 bed. But notwithstanding these precautions, , the vision was repeated with this addition, j that he thought he recognized in the corpse . some resemblance to the features of his j wife. In the course of the second day he received j a letter from his wife, in which she stated that i Hie wa quite well, and noped he was enjoying j himself among iiis friends. As he was devo- j tedlv attached to her, and always anxious for' her safety, he supposed that his morbid fears had conjured up the vision he had seen reflected in the glass, and went about his business as cheer ful as ever. On the morning of the third day, after he had dressed, he found himself in thought j in his own house, leaning over the rntfin of bu j wife. His friends were assembled, the minis- j ter was performing the funeral services, his ] children wept —he was in the house of death. ' He followed the corpse to the grave ; he heard the earth rumble upon the coffin, he saw the grave filled, and the green sods covered ovpr it; vet by some strange power he could see through the ground the entire form of his wife as she lay in her coffin. He looked in the faces of those around him, but no one seemed to notice him ; he tried to weep, but the tears refused to flow ; his very heart felt as hard as a rock. Enraged at his own want of feeling, he determined to throw j himself upon the grave and lie there until his. heart should break, when he was recalled to consciousness by a friend who entered the room j f o inform him that breakfast was ready. He] started as il awoke from a profound sleep, though he was standing before the minor with a hair brush in his hand. After composing himself, he related to his friend what he had seen, and both concluded that a good breakfast only was wanting to dis sipate his unpleasant impression. A few days afterwards, however, lie received the melan choly intelligence that his wife had died sud denly, and '.he time corresponded with the day j he had been startled by the first vision in the' mirror. When lie returned home he described j minutely all the details of the funeral he had] seen in his vision, and they corresponded with j the facts. This is probably one ot the most vi- j vid instances of clairvoyance on record. Mr. j i McDonald knows nothing of modern spiritual-; ! ism or clairvoyance, as most ot his life has j | been spent upon a farm and among forests.

Prune Grape Vines. I I"bis is the best month of the year lor pru- I ring the grape. It can not well be done in Winter at the north, because the vines are, (or j ought to be,) laid on the ground and tucked up ' for I lie season. Neither can it well be done in i the Spring, because the sap begins to tfow verv j early, and profuse bleeding would ensue, it done eat)y in November, the wounds become ! healed befoie Winter, and the buds left on the I canes gather up a good supply of eioborated sap | tor next yaar's use. It is also a pleasant time ; *o work, and the pruning will more likely be well done, than H would amid the storms and benumbing frosts of Winte-. 1. Is your vine a young on", and do you | propose to try the "renewal" method ? Then if it has two stout canes, sis or eight leet long, cut each of them off to about four feet, and tie them down to the lower bar of your trellis, ; One or two buds on each cane may be allowed to throw up branches next year, and the buds on each end may send off branches for exten ding the horizontal cane at the base. Or, possibly, your vine is five or six years old, has this year borne fruit on several upright branches, and has meanwhile sent up as many more new shoots between the old. Then, all you will have to do this Fall, is to cut off those bearing branches down to the horizontal canes on the lower far of the trellis. At the foot ot those branches you will undoubtedly find sev eral plump buds which will throw up new branches next year, to fill the places of those cut off. The branches of the present year's growth may now, if stout and healthy, be cut off at the top of the trellis, if weak, considerably beiow that. The branches which pushed out from buds at the ends of the horizontal canes may now be shortened back, leaving two or three new buds of the new wood, end then tied down iothe lower bar. 2. Some persons prefer the spur-method of pruning ; and perhaps our present reader does. If so, possibly you have a young vine. Ail you will have to do thi3 Fa!!, is to shorten the canes about one halfjtheir length, and cut ofi any lateral branches that may have sh A out "from then* Or the vine may be several years old, and may have been trained systematically. Then, your work now is to cut out any thin watery shoots that may have sprung up between the bearing branches, robbing them of their strength and snading the fruit. The bearing canes should always de kept two feet apart, to allow i room for the side-spurs to shoot out and mature | their fruit without being overrun with super ' fluous wood. Finish your work, now, by cut ! ting back the spurs on the upright canes to OR* !or two buds. These buds will bear fruit next year, it properly cared for. Or your vine may have taken an irregular shape. Fou must then, as before, simply cut out ail weak, succulent shoots w£ich have sprung up from the root or sides ot the stock, and thin out the canes all over the trellis, so as to leave them evenly distributed over its surface, about two feet asunder. Shorten in also the spurs on the sides ot the old wood to one or two buds. It here and there an oid cane has ! lost its buds, it should be cut clean out, and a I young and healthy one trained up in its place. For partially tender vines like the Diana, this j last method of training, though less pleasing to 1 a gardener's eye, is, on some accounts, prefer j able to the otner, because the canes can be more easily bent to the ground in the Fall for Winter protection. Pruning having now been accomplished, all the viues may be united from the tfpllis and laid upon the ground. Be careful, while doing this, not to break off the buds. If in a very cold region, it may be well to remove the soif a few inches, fasten down the canes with stakes, ! and throw on a few inches deep of soil.—-Amcr i lean. ~lgriculiur\st. Winter Protection of Trees and Plants* j Fruit and ornamental trees planted this Fall, l are benefitted bv a mound of earth a foot high, I thrown up around tiie trunk. Let this earth be i brought to the tree from another quarter, not taken off from the extremities of the roofs, and ;so exposing them, as is too often done. Such a j mound will keep the trees steady against the 1 wind, and protect the trunks from the inroads of ' mice. Cunning as these vermin are, they don't j Know enough to ascend a bank of fresh earth in | search of green fodder. For pear-trees subject ' as thev are to frozen sap-blight, we would sug \ gest the additional defence of a light board or I section of bark set up against the south side ot the trunks. A hay-band wound on loosely, an j swers a good purpose. Dwarf ppars need spe ! cial care in Winter, if the ground continues I bare. Their roots need a covering ol manure i or a mound of earth. i As to cherry trees, do the best you can, and even then, expect some injury and loss in the northern Slates. For the splitting of the trunk so common, the protection recommended for the pear tree is worthy of trial. Grape vines not perfectly hardy should be • laid on the ground and fastened there, and then i covered with litter or a few inches of soil.
