Theie is n time just when the froat Prepares to pave old Winter's way, When Autumn in a reverie iost, The mellow daytime dreams away; When summer comes, in musing mind, To gaze onco more on b!i! and dill, To mark how many siisaves they tin !.

Wc refer again, for the sake of keeping the mutter pr: miccntly before tbe public, to the anonymous warning sent to Secretary t loyd concerning the Harper's Ferry outbreak- Tbe question wli recur with fatal distinctness— Why was the letter suppressed which contain ed this warning? It is a vain pretrnea to ssy that tbe Secretary t-py>rdei it es a 'bras.'-- Why, if be so considered it, did he bile it so carefully? Why Lis mysterious silence vnd concealment? A letter regarded as a 'boas' w uH naturally be shown and laughed over among friends and a'soci&'es. But instead, i is carefully concealed from view until the cri *is of which it gave wauling had passed. But the letter itself, is the best answer to thid f .'Re r le*. It bears the impress of ear nestness saJ sincerity in every line. It names person*, places nnJ date*, to Lcur at hand and so easy of verification and disproof, , a 'a fur hid the ilea of its beiog an attempt at decep tion. Let any man of common sense rea i and ee if it is the sort of letter he would pro nounce a 'besx.' CINCINNATI, August 20, 1359. SIR: —I biTC late])' received information of a movement of so GREAT IMPORTANCK that I feel it to Le uiy doty to impart it to you without delay. I have discovered the exist "oce of a secret association having for its ob ject THE LIBERATION OP THE SLAVES AT THE SOUTH 15i* A GENERAL IN SURRECTION. The leader of the move ment is OLD JOHN BROWN, late oi Kan sas. He has been in Canada daring the win ter, drilling the negroes there, and they arc ti ty waiting his word to start for the South to assist the slaves. They have coo of the lead ing men, a white xuau, in an armory in Mary- Htdj where it is situated i have not been able to learr. As scon as everything is ready, those of their Dumber who are in the Northern States aud Canada are to come in smui i com panies to their rendezvous, winch is iu the mountain in Virginia. They will pass down through Pennsylvania and Maryland, and enter Virginia at Harper's Ferry. Brown left the North about three or four weeks ago, and will ARM THE NEGROES ana strike the blow in a few weeks, cud so whatever is dene must be dine at once. They have a Urge quantity of srtm at tbeir rendezvous, and probably dis tributing them already. As I BID not fuliy in ■L'T CODS ience, this is ail the information I ear give you. I dare not sign m; name to this, but i trust that you will not disregard the vraru ing on that account. If Secretary Floyd chcsc to consider this ot doubtful authority, because lacking a signa ture, it was nevertheless bis duty, as custodian of the Government Armory at llarpet's Ferry, to satisfy himself by further examination.— Had be given the slightest waruiug —uay, had be eveD told of it as something be considered a 'hoax'—the citizens of Harper's Ferry would have been on their guard, and the attack would neyer have been attempted. Xor is it any nuswer to nay that the letter was anouymous, and therefore unworthy of uo tice. Warnings of such events wouid most naturally be anonymous. The Gunpowder Flot is an instance in point. Hume's History of England thus desctibes the warning given in that case: "The dreadful secret, though communicate', to above twenty persons, had been religiously kept during the space of near a year and a half. Ten days before the meeting of Parlia ment, Lord Monteag'e, a Catholic son to Lord Morley, received the following letter, which had been delivered to his servant by an un known hand: ' A Weekly Paper, Devoted to Literature, Polities, the Arts, Sciences, Agriculture, &c., &c—Terms: One Dollar and Fifty Cents in Advarc.s I "MY LORD:— Oat of the love 1 bear to I some of jour friends, i have a cere of your \ preservation. Therefore, I would advise you, 1 as you tender your iil'e, to devise some excuse to shift OK your attendance at this Parliament; ..for God and man Lave conceived to punish the i wickedness of this time. And think not : slighty of this advertisement, but retire your self into the country, joro yu may expect j the event in safety.. For though there be uo j appearance cf any stir, yet, I say, tfcey will receive a terrible blow this Piriiiuienr, ar.d jet ! they shall not sec who hurts them. This coun sel is not to ha contemned, because it may do i yen good and can do you uo harm; for the dan ger is passed so soon as you burn the letter, and I hope God will give you tbo grace to i make good use oi' it. unto whos- holy protec tion I commend you." "Mcuteasie knew not what to make of this letter, and though inclined to think if. a fool ish v tempt to frighten or ridicule him, he judged it ssfest to carry it to the Secretary of l State." It will be observed that the length of time while the plot was maturing, the number of persons engage i in it, and the anonymous let ter sent to a Government officer, singularly co ineiu • with the incidents of John brown's plot. m Gut here the parallel ends. Lord .Monteaglo though bis warning was but vague, and though be distracted its authenticity, instantly took measures to detect and suppress the conspira cy. while Secretary Floyd, with a much more explicit letter in his hands, gives no hint of it, does n :hing to prevent it, a-.:d lets the explo sion come. And wb)? in Lord Momeagie's day there were no elections pending that coal J be influ enced by silence and concealment; in our day there arc. There is much reason to fe.r that the letter to Secretary Floyd WHS wilfully suppressed— that the government, while providing against the posMo'e success of the movement, permit ted it to be made that it might charge it upon the ii publicans of tie North, acd make party capital out of it for IBCO. If that was the purpose, it is likely to be de feated. The cspi'al w: I inure to the other fide. • THE SI'A It LET LEX i Lit. One of our California exchanges, iu an ar'i cle relative to the murder of broderiek by the minions of lue Administration, says that about cuo year ago there met in the rcou of a hotel in S-ia Francis eo, f..ur c's ingui.-hed inea of that ct f y. T'.cy were \V. T. Ferguson, Gen. Jatnos i.st:. , Ex Gov. MrJDougal! and David (J. llrod e.-ick. Ferguson was upon his death-bed, hav ing received a fatal wound '.u a duel with one George i'enu Johnson. The conversation turn ed oa the eauso of that meeting, acd all were f opinion that the real cause was not the one publicly avowed ■ y the cbulieaciog party. But they did believe that the object had in view iu putting Ferguson out of the world, was to get possession or the icttor which G.vto had written to I .-red trick, aud which, if tver published, would eternally uisgr.ee him. This letter was iu Ferguson's possession, and it was believed by this party of frioads around his bedside that Lis life was sought that t is evidence against Gwiu unght be destroyed. It was on this oc casion that Ferguson told Gen. Estill where he might find the fetal letter, and gave him the key of the desk or drawer which contained it. The letter passed into Estill's hands, and whiie he had it in Lis possession Le died, and no one iinetv the cause of bis death. Was it the Scar let Letter that killed him? It was uuknown to the public that this letter existed until Mr. Broderiofe produced it at a public meeting held in Sacramento on the 9lb of July last. lie pre faced his reading of it with the* following re remark? . "When the death of Wo. I. Ferguson was announced, fellow citizens, his desk iu the Sen ate Chamber was broken open and his private papers searched for this letter, without avail. Ferguson, on his death bed, related to Estill why the fatal difficulty had been sought with him. He toi l Estill where the ietter conid be found. Estill found it, and just oreviuus to his own death Estill told me where be had pla ced the iettct. A curse seem? to follow the secret possession of this letter, i gi"e it to the public, that the curaa may return to its author; that wherever he may go, by day or night, where his presence can be recognized, the people shall see the letter of disgrace worn on bis forehead, as was the Scarlet Letter worn ou the breast of Hester Prynne."

Edward Bales on Slavery, The St. L mis Evening JS'ncs publishes a ! long article giving the views of the Hon. | -rfdwasd Baits on tbo Slavery question. The ' main points are as follows : "Air. Bites does net believe that African 1 Slavery L a beneficial institution, either in a ; social, poliiieal, or religious tense. Not in ?. ; political souse, bee-.use it is productive of dis -1 cords between nation 3 that tolerate it and ' nations tint do not. and because it ii liihlo to p -aics, aud ias ended often in blocdy revolu tion*. Not in a r digious aeaae, bec.ias* it makes the word cf God a seeled Look to tbo -lave, aud gives Lis body tu tbe service of a human master ; whereas the body of every created being should be freely given to the service ei God. Because Air. Bates does not behove that, slavery is a beneficial institution, eit ft ia a social, political or religious sense, he ;s unalterably opposed to its extension into territories already fiee. /•if. Baits heartily endorses tlie sentiment, and holds to the creed of Mr. Ciay, who de clared that bis right arm should dr p fr as bis shoulder before Le would vote to extend slavery over one toot or territory already. Mr. Bates docs not believe that tha U n-iiiation carries slavery into all ibe territories that may be ac quired by tbo U. Cs'a'es. lie believes 'bat freedom is thr rule au i slavery ea exist in any territory acquired by tiij government ol toe U. £>Utea except by iho positive law of Congress. That law Mr. Bates would not be jn favor of passing, because, for reasons al ready given, be is opposed to the extension of slavery into territory already free. Mr Bates denies that the txciusiou of slave property from territory acquired by the eomtmu blood and treasure of tiro Union establishes an in v. iious distinction between the two sections of the Union, and asserts that the distinction aomplumed c: io coeval with she government, and that the prohibition ot slavery from free territory was embodied :n the otiirLai conSpaci oi tho Union, for which ihe slaw States were allowed ,n Gougrt'ss an i in Presidential elee ti.as t: ree \otcs tor every live slaves, ile then tor docs not regitrd tho 000 admission of slavery iato territory us establishing a dis tiiieiion oetween property, but -imply as roain taiiig a uistinctioa already established and willingly assented to by the South since the toriiiaiiju oi the Government. Ho regards the priueipie o! the Nebraska bill as rendering the introduction of slavery into the territories impossible, and noes not believe that Congress wid intervene to protect slave property in the territories. He firmly adheres to tho rights of property in slaves in tho States where slavery already exists, and if President he would ex ecute the Fugitive Slave Law, if the army and navy of the govorumeut were equal to the"task. He would consider the Union - Laokeu com pass it these plain guarantees were denied by tho deliberate and persevering action of auy part ot the confederacy. If Congress should iegulize sua pass laws protecting slave property in territories previously free, Mr. Bates would execute those laws . s promptly as any other iawa ot the land. He would not oppose tho admission of a State because of a pro-slavery Constitution. Ho would never couutenauce a National organization for any interference whatever with slavery in the States. lie i. glad to see the rapid and peaceful ex tinction of slavery iu Missouri, without the aid of emancipation parties, and without the heat and acrimony of domes' io discord. By Lis owu example, as well a-i by precept, tie has shown that he prefers to live by his own labor, and not on tho labor of slaves. He advocates the procurement of foreign territory suitable to the ready ami cheap, colonization of free blacks. The policy already broached in some States, of selling again into slavery the free blacks whom humane or grateful masters have emancipated, unless those freed persons leave the State, is in the highest degree cruel. It is barbarious, and it wouid disgrace the American people in the lace of Christenlom to permit sued policy to prevail.

He has no apoicgy to make lor keeping out of tho way ol those gentlemanly United rftatc3 Marshals, who are said to have paid Rochester a somewhat protracted visit lately,with a view to au iuterview with him. A Government that recognizes the vitality of the Dred Scott decision, at such a t.;ue as this, is not likely to have auy very charitable feeling towards him,if lie is to meet its representatives, he prefets to do so, at least, upon equal terms.

Gerril Smith's Kansas Work, The Chicago Press and Tribune says . Wc thiuk we can throw a little light upon the ; three times repeated words, 'Kansas work,' ia , Gerrit Smith's ietter to Osssmattaufie Brown, of June A, 1859—tbo letter, wc mean, said to have been found at Brown's house after tbe af fair of Harper's Ferry. About the middle of March i tst Browo passed through this city, having in charge thirteen iugmva slaves from j Missouri, en rente for (Luada. Our informant, j who gives us this fact, says also that Brmvu i rpoke ot bis obligations to Smith for aid in tbe enterprise in which he w,s then engaged, and seemed to rely upou bim for any assistance which he might require in future endeavors of the same ' kind. Doubtless £ milk's words refer to Cap', j Brown's peaceful anil bloodless attempts at uui- J veraai tm ir.cip&tion. We take it that Air.
