"REPUBLICAN'* FEELING.
The Pennsylvania Slate Journal, tin* organ •
of Ex-Gov. Pollock and other lead me "Repub- j
licans" in this State, lias a long article in IN ,
*ast issue, in which undertiie mask ola preten- i
dec! disapproval < i the recent Abolition ou'- •
break at Harper's Ferry, there is a strong and
striking attempt to justify the conduct ol duo s j
and hts fellow conspirators and to create sym- j
pathy for the miserable wretches who wanton
ly and brutally shot down the aged and unof
fending BECKHAM and who deliberately and de
fiantly committed treason against the Govern
ment of their country. The Slate Jourw \\. s
not want to be misunderstood. It does it.
wish to be understood as favoring the Abolitio?.
of slavery by fire and sword. Of course not.
That would damage the prospects of its pet burn
bug, "Republicanism." Put whilst protesting
against being considered favorable to forci •
Abolition, the Journvl uses such language as
can leave no other impression on the.' minds of
its readers than that Brown and men have
its hearty sympathy. The first two paragraphs
of its article are very significant. Observe the
expression that "the twenty two bo'd men who
recently held their entrenchments at Harper's
Ferry, in the lace of an aroied array of as ma
ny hundreds for over thirty hours, were in fee
ling but the representatives of a large and
growing class."
"We live in strange and startling times.—
The great national ulcer, slavery, having in
flamed with its virus the circulation of the en
tire body politic, atter fitful periods of fetid
burrowing, breaks upon the surface in diseased
aspects as unexpected in kind as in locality.
Three years ago, when pro-slavery ruffianism
was devastating Kansas, who could have pre
dicted that in the lapse of half a lustrum, the
infamies bf the African slave trade would be
extensively revived and advocated in this re
public, the traffic defying the tardy and feeble
efforts for its suppression by the National Gov
ernment ; or that a score of brave, rlevoted,
but misguided men would inaugurate insurrec
tion upon the serf-impoverished soil of the Old
Dominion, and sacrifice themselves in a bloody
and menacing occasion ?
Menacing, not in the sense of an occurrence
with immediate results of moment, but in the
force of a precedent which may encourage by
showing the facility with which kindred en
terprises can be attempted, and, with com
mensurate preparation, prosecuted to deplora
ble consequences. Menacing, also, as illustra
ting the temper, more than earnest, intense,
and enthusiastic, which the unscrupulousness
and arrogance of the siaveholding oligarchy
ha 9 awakened in the breasts o! thousands ; foi
honest observers must know and confess, how
ever regretfully, that the twenty-two boid men
who recently held their entrenchments at Har
per's Ferry in the face of an armed array ot as
many hundreds for over thirty hours, were in
feeling but representatives of a large and grow
ing class.
Further on, this organ of Pennsylvania "Re
publicanism," attempts to justify Brown, by
comparing his case to that of Filibuster Walker,
holding that il Walker's expeditions to Central
America were right and lawful in the eyes of
the South, then Brown's Abolition raid into v ir
ginia, should also be considered, by the South,
right and lawful. "If your Walkers are he
roes," ays;the Journal, 'how comes it that your
Browns are felons ?" The cases would be par
allel, had Walker invaded a State of the l uion
as Brown did, but he invaded a foreign coun
try, which was an offence against the law of
nations and not treason again-t the Government
of the United States. But the Journal reasons
from the usual Black Republican premises. In
its opinion Virginia is, evidently, as much a
foreign country as Nicaragua, or Costa Rica.—
It could not believe otherwise. Every Stale
south of Mason and Dixon's line, is considered
foreign in the 'Republican' creed. And why 7
For no reason under heaven except that ne
groes are slaves in those States, as thev have
been trom the beginning, and as they once
were in Pennsylvania and in Massachu
setts.
In the passage above quoted, the Journal
talks about the Harper's Ferry affair, "as illus
trating the temper, more than earnest, intense,
and enthusiastic, which the unscrupulousness
and arrogance of the slave-holding oligarchy
has awakened in the breasts of thousands—
This, taken in connexion with the assertion in
the succeeding sentence, that the Harper's Fer
ry conspirators "were in feeling but represen
tatives of a large and growing class," t can mean
nothing else than the Abolition sentiment of the
so-called Republican party. That is the "tem
per, more than earnest, intense and enthusias
tic." (Did the Journal mean insane ?) That
is the "feeling" of the large and growing cias
of which those "twenty two bold men" were
representatives.
The Journal concludes with a paragraph
that needs no comment. It might as well have
said in so many words, "there, will be more
serviie insurrections, mote Browns and Cooks
whose standard will never sink tiil slavery
shall be blotted out in blood." Such is the
tone of the leading "Republican" weekly in
Pennsylvania. How do the conservatives of
Bedford county, the national Americans and
Whigs, like the "temper" and "feeling" of this
organ of the party to which they nominally be
long ? We ne.d not ask the "Republicans,"
for they glory in the shame of sectionalism a-.-d
riot in the saturnalia ot fanatic?. But hear the
Journal's conclusion :
"We have lived long enough in this world,
in an age ol vicissitudes, to know that nothing
is impossible. The loiile issue of to-day mav
become the pregnant fact of to-morrow. When
Loui- NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, the adventurer.
descended upon Boulogne, and men were la
vish of ridicule upon the madcap enterprise
and its otter tailuie, they did not foresee the
empire in France, and the Corsicnn imperial
ism enthroned at the Toiletries. If the African
trade is to increase the victims ot slavery, and
the results and necessities; of an expanded bon
dage—less regard for the individual slave, and
greater appiehension of servile revolt—the re
straints upon inhumanity falling with the mon
ey value of the "chattel," and the terror of a
growing insecurity, it may be confidently pre
dicted that the South, sowing the wind, will
reap the whirlwind."
NO DODGING!
The "Republican" newspapers are trying to
avoid the responsibility which intelligent peo
ple are placing upon their party in the matter
ot tV- Harper's Ferry Insurrection. Among
other attempts at palliation and evasion, they
se'. up the plea that "old Brown" was crazed
r jy bis misfortunes in Kansas whilst in arms a
gainst the pro-slavery men. In the first place
this is not true, for those who know Brown best
certify in n to beat least as sane as any rom
! moti Black Republican. In the second place,
; if it were I, ue, how comes it that Brown was
|in arms in Kansas ? Who was ii, but the Re
; publican leaders' of New York and Massachu
! setts that placed arms in Ins hand- ? Who was
• it but those arch-demagogues that furnished him
! with Sharp's rifles and with money to carry on
his war ? And it he was "crazed in Kansas,"
; how is it that they suffered bun, a madman,
ito have possession of the weapons with which
he was able to take and hold for over thirty
: hours, the National Armory at Harper's Ferry?
j Let us have answers to these questions—plain,
; unequivocal answers—arid no dodging 1
Local and Miscellaneous.
— OSSAWATOMIB BROWN IN BEDFORD.—Re
-1 ports having been circulated that some of the
colored ppopie in this vicinity, had been con
nected with the Harper's Ferry affair, we have
taken the pain" to inquire into the matter and !
have found no positive evidence, thus far, to
implicate them. There are more things,
however, "in heaven and earth than are
dreamt ot in our philosophy." For instance,
on the 251n of June last, when the good peo
ple of Bedford, at least those who are not
Abolitionists, were thinking of anything but
servile insurrections, Ossawalomie Brown
and his two sons, Owen and Oliver, accompa
nied by J. G. Anderson, another of the Har
per's Ferry murderers, came to iliis place and
put up at tiie Bedford Hotel. Their names
will be found registered as follows :
Oliver Smith, x\kron, O.
J. G. Anderson, Ashtabula, O.
Owen Smith, Ohio,
J. Sm th, New York.
It will be remembered that Brown assumed
the name of Smith and signed nearly all his
letters, "John Smith." H also had the arms
and munitions sent him from the East,
directed to "J. Smith and soti=." As for Ander
son, it seems that he never attempted to con
ceal his name. If we mistake not he was one
; of the signers of Brown's Provisional Constitu
! iion and an officer in the army established by
i Brown's Provisional Government. That
i Brown's gang were mameuvering in this re
! gion appears probable from their presence here,
; and the following letter found among the
I correspondence of the insurgents
PITTSBURG, Pa.,
June 23d, 1859.
DEAR SIP. : Please inquire for a letter at
: Bedford, Pa., if you do not find one there, you
! may understand that you have got ahead of us,
| and will wait a little. If you have anv compa
j oy along, it may be just as well no! to tip pearls
| fellow travelers. He may commence prospec
-1 ting before we get to Bedford.
Yours, in truth,
JOHN HENRIE, Esq. S. MONROE.
—"Halloween," or in piain Saxon, "Hallow
Eve," that night once "so big with pro
phecy" to the peasantry of Scotland, was duly
celebrated by the boys of our town, on Mon
day night last. As we sat listening to the
rattling of corn with which our windows were
diligently besprinkled, and as our imagination
pictured the cabbage-stalks with which our good
citizens would find their door-ways blocked on
: the morrow, we could not help thinking of the
i degeneracy of the age which substitutes such
j meaningless mummery tor the significant,
emblematical and beautiful ceremonies of our
ancestors. Why, thought we, even the eldritch
voices of the beings of air that were wont
to hold their anniversaries on this night, have
, dwindled down to the practicality of rattlin -1
gourd-seed and gravel. Where now are the
"war-locks in the mirk," that once darkened!
the moonlight bv "Alioway's auld haunted |
Kirk ?" Where now are the "bogles" and the
"withered beldames" that ODce, "c h< s bi.iz
nut," came forth pn this night, to e -rve "Auld
Clootie ?" Has stern old Cotton Mather's -OK it
warred against them in shadow land,ti f r ;>i „
single witch is left to tell the tale? Has the
| smoke that rose Irom Salem's fires, extenmaa
i ted the very seed of witchcraft ? No' but
the fog of superstition has lifted from ou: land,
the usefiii and the practical have driven the
ideal and theoretical from off our continent,
and modern Spiritualism, the Rochester Knock
ings and the fanaticism ot Abolition, arc the
only vestiges of that fatalism which in former
i centuries peopled the air with "ghaists" and
j wizards and hobgoblins. But, barring the gitn-Ts
' and witches, the ceremonies of the Scotch on
I the night of Halloween, were beautifnl and
j interesting. To those who desire a knowledge
of those old-time fantastical performances, we
commend Burns' celebrated "Halloween,"
wherein they will find much information con
cerniog the ancient celebration of this famous
and noisy play-night ot modern juvenility.
The Regimental parade which came off
at this place, on Wednesday and Thursday ol
last week, did much credit to flie military of
this county. There were in all, five compa
nies present, viz : Bedford Hileinen, Capt.
Lyons ; Cumberland Valley Bluet, Capt. Ila
ney; Scbellsburg Black Plume! Riflemen,
Capt. Mullen ; Bloody Run Blues* Capt. Mor
gart ; Hopewell Riflemea, Cajt. Hawman.
Owing to the illness of COL. FORTON, Col.
ALEX. CGMPIJEF. was called upon o take com
mand ot the legiment. Col. 3ompher, as
commanding ollicer, deported himself most
gallantly, and it is but justice to say that in
putting the regiment through the various
manoeuvres ot the drill, the Colonel has but
few superiors. Col. S. B. TATE and MAJ. DI
UERT, both handsome and gallant officers,
were also on duty. YVe also noticed Biigade
Quarter Master, CAPT. S. S. FLUCK, and GKN'L.
EVANS who was disabled for the service some
time ago by a sprained ankle. On Thursday,
the Brigade Inspector, MAJ. SANSOM, having
been escorted to the field proceeded to inspect
the arms and accoutrements of the soldiers. —
Maj. Sansom performed his duty gracefully,
and in a soldierly and dignified manner. In ;
short, in our backwoods experience of military
aiiairs, we have seen but few displays of this
kind, that, take them ail in all, passed off as
creditably to the soldiery, and as pleasantly
to the spectators, as the parade of which we
have written this brief and hasty account.
—The Daily JSlews, published at Philadel
phia, says, "the Republican press of the North
is preparing the public mind to defend openly
the insurrection at Harper's Ferry." Tne
J\Tews is a rampant Opposition paper and is
very bitter in its invectives against the"locofo
ros," but, n;nv and th"n, the' negro smells a
little strong in its olfactories. The JY etcs
will, occasionally, say unpleasant of its
"Republican"' brethren, but, generally, when
election time comes around, it helps on the
fanaticism which it affects to loathe, about as
much as the best Black Republican newspa
per in the country.

The Damning Record-
The Black-aud-Brown Republicans are a
shamed to acknowledge the Harper's Ferry In
surgents as their brothers : and some of them de
nounce Old Brown and his dupes in good set
terms. At a meeting in New York, the other
night, Air. James A. Biiggs even went so far
as to say that he would hang anybody as high
as Hainan who should go South and ueliberate
ly attempt to incite insurrection. But the
Black Republicans cannot blot out the dam
ning record of their treasonable utterances—
utterances, which in other times and in other
lands, would have brought their authors to the
gibbet ami the dungeon. Below, w"e subjoin a
few ol the sayings ot the distinguished lights of
the many-hued Republican Party, omitting
those of the crazy men and women who are
ranked as distinctive Abolitionists—tlie Gar
risons, the Douglasses, and the Abby Keileys.
Read the record :
Gen. James Watson Webb—A Republican
leader, said, in the Philadelphia Convention ;
"If we (meaning the Abolitionists) fail-there,
(at the baiiot box) what then ? We w I LI drive it
(slavery) back sword in hand, and so help me
God! believing that to be right, lam with
them."
Horace Grrely, a Republican :
"I have no ooubt but the free atid slave
States ought to be separated. The Union is not
worth supporting in connection with the South.'
Josiah Quincy—Republican, of Boston :
"The obligation incumbent on the free States
to deliver up fugitive slaves is that burden, and
it must be obliterated from the Constitution at
every hazard."'''
Air. Banks, present Republican Governor of
Massachuetts :
"I am not one of those men who cry for the
perjietuaiion of the Union, though I am willing,
in '• certain stale of circumstances, to let it
slide.''''
Air. Burlingame—A Republican Congress
man :
"When we shall have elected a President,
as w- will, who will not be the President of a
party, nor of a section, but the Tribune of a
peopie, and after we have exterminated a few
moie miserable doughfaces from the North, then,
if the Slave Senate will not give way. we will
grind it between the upper ami nether mill
stones of our power."
Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois—a leading
Republican of the West:
"I believe this government cannot endure
permanently halt slave and half free. Ido not
expect the house to fall, but Ido expect it will
cease to be divided, ft will become all one
thing or the other. Either the opponents of
slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and
place it where the public mind shall rest in the
belief that the course ol ultimate extinction, or
its advocates will push forward till it shall be
come alike lawful in all the States—old as well
as new. North as well as South."
Senator Wilson, Republican, of Alassachu
setts :
••L"t us remember ,l it more than three mil
lion of bondmen, groaning under nameless woes,
demand that we shall cease to reprove each
other, ami that we labor for their deliverance.
"I tell you here to-night, that the agitation
of this question of human slavery will continue
while the loot of a slave presses the soil ot the
American republic.
"YVe shad change the Supreme Court of the
| United States, and place men in that Court who
j believe with ite pure and immaculate Chief
j Justice, John Jay, that our prayers will be im
pious to Heaven, while we sustain and support
human slavery."
Benjamin F. VVade, TJ. S. Senator from O
hio, Republican leader:
'■'■ There is really no union now between the
jYorth and the South } and he believed that no
two nations upon the earth entertained feel
ings of more hitter rancor towards each other
than these two nations cf the Republic. The
only salvation of the Union, therefore, was to
be found in divesting il entirely of all taint of
Slavery."
Senator Sumoer, November, 1855 :
' Not that I love the Union less, but freedom
more, do I now, 1.1 pleading this great cause,
insist that freedom, AT AM. HAZARDS, shall BE
presented. God forbid that tor the sake ol the
Union."
John P. Hale, a Delegate to the Republican ;
Convention, June 17th, 1556 :
Congratulated the Convention upon the spirit
of un mimity with which it had done its work.
I believe this is not so much a Convention to 1
change the administration of the Government, .
to say whether there shall be any govern- <
ment lo be administered. * * * *
Some men pretend to be astonished at the events >,
which are occurring around us; hut I arn not ,
more surprised than I shall be at this autumn
to see tile fruits following the buds and blos
soms."
Dennison, Governor elect of Ohio, said the
following in the canvas :
"If I am elected Governor of Ohio—and I '
expect to be—l will not let any slaves be re- ;
turned to Kentucky or any other slave State ; !
and ifl cannot prevent it in any other way, as
commander in chief ol the military ol tile Slate,
I will employ the bayonet— so help me Hod !'
Henry Ward Beecher, in a lecture on the
subject of disunion, delivered in Now York,
January l(ith, 1855, said :
"Two great powers that will not live togeth
er, are in our midst, aod tugging at each others'
throats. Thev will search each other out,
though vou separate them a hundred times ;
and il bv an insane blindness you shall contrive
to put off the issue, and send this unsettled dis
pute down to your children, it will go down
gathering volume and strengih at every step, to
waste and desolate their heritage. Let it be
settled now. Clear the place. Bring in the
champions. Let them put their lances in rest
lor the cnarge. Sound the trumpet, and Go.;
save the rignt!"
Rev. Andrew F. Ross, of New Hampshire,
at a meeting of the American Anti-Slavery So
ciety, New York, May 13th, 1857 :
t * * * * It would not have been
more wrong for George the Third to put chains
on Gporge Washington, than it wa3 for George
Washington fo put chains ori the limbs of hss
slaves. * * *
Where Slavery and Freedom are put in the one
nation there must be a fight—there must be an
explosion, just as if fire and powder were
brought together. There never was an hour
when this blasphemous and infamous govern
ment should be made, and now the hour wis >o
be prayed for when thai disgrace to humanity
should be dashed in pieces for ever."
W. H. Seward, Republican, in the Senate of
the United States :
"These antagonistic systems are continually
coming into close contact, and collision results.
Shall I tell you what this collision means'? They
who think that it is accidental, unnecessary,
the work of interested or fanatical agitators, ami
therefore ephemeral, mistake the case altogeth
er. It is a a irrepressible conflict between
opposing and enduring forces,and it means that
the United States must and will, sooner or later,
become entirely a free labor nation. Either
the cotfon and rice fields Carolina and
the Sugar plantation of Louisiaana will ultimate
ly be tilled bv free labor, and Charleston and
New Orleans become marts for legitimate mer
chandise alone, or else the rye fields and wheat
fieius of Massachusetts and New York must a
gain be surrendered by their farmers to stave
culture and to th<' production of slaves, and
Boston and. New York become once more mar
kets for trade in the bodies aud souis of men.
It is the failure ,to apprehend this great truth
that iuduc.es so many unsuccessful attempts at
final com.promise between the slave and tree
States, and it is the existence of this great fact
that renders all such pretended compromise,
when rnmie. vain and ephemeral. Staitiing as
tiiis saying rnay appear to you, fellow-citizens,
it is by no means an original or even a modern
one."
Joshua R. Giddings, a Republican Congress
man, in a speech, said :
"I lock forward to the day when theie shall
be a SERVILE INSURRECTION IN THE SOUTH —when
the torch of the incendiary shall light up the
towns and cities of the South and blot out the
last vestige of Slavery. And though I may
not mock at their calamity—nor laugh when
the fear cometh, yet I will hail it as the dawn
or a political milteuium."
T'LE HARPER'S FERRY REBELLION.
HARPER'S FERRY, Oct. 29—8, p. in.—The
prisoners have been committed to the jail at
! Charlestown to await the action of (he grand ju
ry. Thev will be indicted aud tried in a few
days.
The arrangement about the jurisdiction was
settled this way : The Virginia authorities are
to try the prisoners for murder. In the mean
time the United States authorities will proceed
to try them on a charge ol high treason.
Gov. Wise said to District Attorney Ould
there would be no objection to the United States
government proceeding against them—that is,
what will oe left of them by the time the Vir
ginia authorities are done with them.
Brown is better, and has made a fuller state
ment. He says he rented the farm of Dr. Ken
edy six months ago, and has paid the rent up
to next March. He never had over 22 men
with him at the farm at any one time that be
longed to the organization, but bad good reason
io expect reinforcements from Maryland, Ken
tucky, North ar.d South Carolina, and the Can
ada*. He had arms sufficient for fifteen hun
dred men ; had 200 revolvers, 200 Sharpy's ri
fles, and 1,000 spears, all which he left at the
farm. Ha.! also an abundance of powder and
fixed ammunition. The arms, from time to time
he brought from Connecticut and other eastern
points to Chambersburg, Pa. They were direc
ted to J. Smith &. Sons, Kennedy Farm, and
were packed in double boxes so as to deceive
those who handled them.
Brown says he made one mistake in either
not detaining the train on Sunday night or per
mitting it to go on unmolested. This mistake,
he seemed to infer, exposed his doings too soon,
and prevented his reinforcements from coming
in.
The names of all his party at the Ferry on
Sunday night, except three, whom he admits
!:e sent away on an errand, are as fol
low.', with their titles under the provisional
government:
WHITES. —Gen. John Brown, commander-in
