dr/i- G. Ashman Miller advertises in to-day's Globe
Democracy.
Is there, says a cotemporary, a word in our
language that has the ring of our noble
watchword, Democracy ? It touches at once
every chord of our being, because in itself it
comprises all the best men have dreamed,
all the greatest sages have thought, all that
the highest flights of human reason have
reached. It epitomizes all the results of the
painful labors of mankind from the rude at
tempts of savage ignorance to the beautiful
fabric of civilization. It is like a brilliant
pinnacle perched on a high rugged hill, up
which struggling millions have toiled and are
still toiling. Democracy—the rights of the
people I Not the rights of individuals ; not
the rights of class, or section, but the rights
of all including each. Nothing selfish, par
tial, limited, but the full recognition of one's
claim, the unfettered development of each
one's faculties, the unrestricted enjoyment of
each one's rights. This is Democracy. Is
it wonderful that its trumpet sounds wake
mankind from the sleep of , lethargy that at
its echoes the ramparts of prejudice, the
strong fastnesses of tyranny and fanaticism
are shaken down, totter and fall ? . Was so
potent a name ever inscribed on any banner,
a name that in itself betokens victory ? The
party that owns this banner, must be nation
al, it will be universal. It is born from no
local passion, from no selfish interest, from
no personal prejudice, from no transient ex
pedient or passing cause, its vital spark as
an eternal truth. It claims nothing at the
expense of others, it stands upon the immu
table foundation of truth and justice. Even
those that oppose it are loth to sunder every
bond. Those that leave it repent and return.
Democracy is the pride of our land; it is
that which makes the shining bacon to man
kind, the star of hope to present and future
generations. Not our shipping that dots ev
ery sea, not our fertile, boundless lands, not
our inventions and gigantic strides, make us
the wonder of the world. These are but the
offspring, the practical manifestation of the
great principle embodied in our party name
—the rights of the people, the rights of all.
Can the most prolific brain invent a just
cause that is not embraced in its protecting
arms? Is there a wrong against which it
has no weapons? The noble tree which grows
only in the richest soil, the young roots of
which are fed with the blood of patriot men,
that noble tree extends it sheltering branches
over everything that is good and just, but
wrong and error cannot live within its realm.
The party which watched over the birth of
this nation, which sat by its cradle, which
reared it to youthful manhood, that party
shall be its guardian angel so long as Provi
dence has decreed to prolong its days. Let
no rash imaginings, no impatient ardor, se
duce
the unwary from a brotherhood which
has ever been faithful to its trust. Let no
one rashly condemn when the results have
been so grand, and abandon the bright lights
of the past for the fitful will-o-the-wisp of the
present.
The Harper's Ferry difficulty is giving
the Opposition considerable trouble. Many
of the Democratic presses are attempting to
make the Republican, or Opposition party,
responsible for old Brown's desperate effort
to bring about an insurrection of the slaves,
while the Republican, or Opposition press,
are equally bitter in their denunciation of
Brown's conduct. The extreme Republi
can, or Abolition presses, are the only ones
sympathizing with Brown and his deluded
followers, and we predict that before six
months the Abolitionists will again be an or
ganization separate and apart from the Re
publican, with their own candidates for Pres
ident and other offices.
Time works radical changes, as well in
politics as in everything else, and we should
.not be surprised to see good come out of the
evil designs of the fanatics who have for
years been a curse to our country. We shall
wait patiently for the good times coming.
1y Something is wrong, somewhere. Al
most every week, complaints are made by our
subscribers in every part of the county, that
they do not receive their papers regularly,
and sometimes not at all. We have missed
mailing our papers on Wednesday but once
for many months, and we cannot see why
our subscribers on the railroad east and west,-
do not find their Globes at their respective of
fices on that day. 'lll4 , fault is not with us.
We hope there is no 'double teaming' us, go
ing on,
LOOK OUT FOR Turg.—The following in
formation which we get from the Harrisburg
Daily Telegraph should receive the attention
of our citizens :—" Our attention has been
called to the fact that a large amount of coun
terfeit bills are constantly passed by a set of
well-dressed sharpers who are, or profess to
be, canvassers for, or peddlers of, bank note
detectors and publications containing fac
similes of bank notes, coins, S.-;c. Blany of
this class are always provided with a large
supply of bad bills, and as they are supposed
—very correctly—to be good judges of money,
any bills they offer are taken without being
scrutinized. Their pretext for carrying coun
terfeit bills is, that the notes are necessary to
explain to customers the details of their
method of detection, but large amounts of
this bogus money is passed whenever oppor
tunity offers. The police ought to hold them
equally with others who are found with bad
money in their possession ; for if thoy only
intended to make a legitimate use of this
counterfeit money, it might be stamped coun
terfeit, or marked in some manner that no
one could be deceived by them. These same
parties are always prepared to buy up the
bills of broken banks, at about ten or twelve
cents on the dollar, which we believe are only
purchased to be altered and passed again.—
They are in fact the agents of counterfeiters
and should be narrowly watched. We ad
vise the public to keep a strict look out for
men who are desirous of buying the bills of
broken banks."
We have two very good reasons for
occupying so much of our paper with the
Harper's Ferry trouble: First, it is all the
talk and all of any interest in our exchanges.
Second, everybody wants to know all the par
ticulars, so we give all we have room for, and
hope our readers will be satisfied.
Trial of the Insurgents.
The prisoners, five in number, were brought
into Court at Charlestown, Va., on the 25th.
On the 2Gth, the second day, the Grand Jury
brought in true bills against the prisoners.—
They contain three counts : First, for conspir
ing with negroes to produce an insurrection ;
second, for treason to the Commonwealth ;
and third, for murder. The prisoners de
sired to be tried separately; and Brown was
put upon his trial first. A number of wit
nesses were examined on the 2d, 3d, and 4th
days. On the afternoon of the 4th day, sev
eral witnesses for the prisoner were called,
but did not answer, when Brown arose from
his mattress, (and evidently excited,) and
standing on his feet, addressed the court as
follows :
May it please the Court: I discover that
notwithstanding all the assertions that I have
received of a fair trial, nothing like a fair
trial is to be given me, as it would seem. I
gave the names, as soon as I could get at
them, of the persons I wished to have called
as witnesses, and was assured that they should
be subpoenaed. I wrote down a memorandum
to that effect, saying where those parties
were ; but it appears that they have not been
subpoenaed, so far as I can learn. And now
I ask, (if I am to have anything like at all
deserving the name and shadow of a fair
trial,) that this proceeding be deferred until
to-morrow morning, for I have no counsel, as
I have before stated, in whom I feel that I
can rely. But I am in hopes that counsel
may arrive who will attend to seeing that I
get the witnesses who are necessary for my
defence. lam myself unable to attend to it.
I have given all the attention I possibly could
to it, but, am unable to see or know about
them, and can't even find out their names,
and I have nobody to do any errand, for my
money was all taken from me when I was
sacked and stabbed, and I have not a dime.
I had two hundred and fifty or sixty dollars
in gold and silver taken from my pocket, and
now I have no possible means of getting any
body to go my errands for me, and they have
not been done, nor have all the witnesses been
subpoenaed ; they are not within reach and
are not hero. I ask at least until to-morrow
morning, to have something done if anything
is designed ; if not, I am ready for anything
that may come up.
Brown then lay down again, throw his
blanket over him, and closed his eyes, and
appeared to sink in tranquil slumber.
Mr. Hoyt, of Boston, who had been sitting
quietly all the day at the side of Mr. Botts,
arose amid great sensation and addressed the
court as follows :
May it please the Court : I would add my
voice to the appeal of Brown, although I
had no consultation with him, that the fur
ther hearing of the case be postponed until
the morning. I would state the reasons for
this request. lam informed, and have rea
son to believe, that Judge Tilden, of Ohio, is
on his way to Charlestown, and will un
doubtedly arrive at Harper's Ferry to•night,
at 7 o'clock, and have taken measures to se
cure that gentleman's arrival at this place to
night, if he reach Harper's Ferry. For my
self, I have come from Boston, traveling
night and day, to volunteer my services in
defence of Brown. I cannot take the respon
sibility of undertaking his defence as I am
now situated.
The gentlemen who have defended Brown
have acted in an honorable and dignified
manner in respects ; but I cannot assume
the responsibility of him myself
for many reasons. First, it would be redicu
lous for me to do it. I have not read the in
dictment through. I have not, except so far
as I have listened to this case and heard the
counsel this morning, got any idea of the
line of defence proposed. I have no knowl
edge of the criminal code of Virginia, and
have had no time to read it. I have no time
to examine the questions arising from this
defence, some of which are of considerable
importance, especially those relative to the
jurisdiction over the armory grounds. For
all these reasons, I ask a continuation of the
case till morning.
Messrs. Botts and Green, counsel for Brown,
with Hoyt, after some remarks, withdrew
from the case. The proceedings at this point
were postponed, and at 6 o'clock the Court
adjourned.
The Judge instructed the Sheriff to shoot
the prisoners if any effort was made to rescue
them.
Great excitement prevailed in the town,
and the guard has been increased, the con
duct of Brown being regarded as a trick.
SATURDAY'S PROCEEDINGS-ARRIVAL OF ADDI-
TIONAL COUNSEL.
CHARLESTON, October 29.—The Court met
at ten o'clock this morning. The Judge an
nounced that he had received a note from the
new counsel of the prisoner, requesting a de
lay of a few minutes to enable him to have a
brief interview with the prisoner. He would
accordingly wait a short time. Soon after,
Brown was brought in, and took his usual
recumbent position in bed. Samuel Chilton,
of Washington City, appeared - as the - addi
tional counsel for the prisoners, and was
qualified. Henry Griswold, of Cleveland,
was also qualified as counsel for the pris
on ers.
Mr. Chilton made an explanatory state
ment. He was unexpectedly called upon
yesterday to aid in this defence. He came
with the expectation of merely assisting the
gentlemen who were conducting the defence,
but on reaching here he found that they had
withdrawn from the case. He then deter
mined to do his best, not feeling at liberty to
refuse, under the circumstance. However, it
would be impossible for him to discharge the
full duty of counsel, not having had time to
read the indictment, or examine the evidence
already given. He made no motion, but he
would advise the delay of a few hours, that he
and his brother counsel could make some
preparation.
The Court decided that the trial must go
on. No more delays could be granted.
The trial then proceeded.
Mr. Hoyt, for the prisoner objected to re
ceiving as evidence, the letter of Gerritt
Smith, heretofore published ; also the auto
biography of Brown, written by himself.
Several witnesses were then examined by
Mr. Hoyt, and cross questioned by the pris
oner while lying in his bed, wrapped— up in
a blanket. The testimony was mainly rela
tive to Brown's kind treatment of his prison
ers. At one o'clock a recess was taken for
dinner.
APTEROON SESSION.
Several witnesses for the prisoner were ex
amined, all proving that Brown treated his
prisoners with humanity, and frequently
,ex
pressed his regret that bloodshed should have
been caused by him, in self-defence. The
defence closed their testimony at about four
o'clock, and the State desired to give the case
to the jury without argument. Capt. Brown
insisted that his counsel should argue the
case after the opening speech for the State.
The Court adjourned till Monday morning,
when the counsel for the prisoner will pro
ceed.
The witnesses having all been examined,
the Commonwealth at 44 o'clock, commenced
the opening argument for the Commonwealth,
and spoke only for about forty minutes. He
reviewed the testimony as elictied during the
examination, and dwelt for some time on the
absurdity of the claim or expectation of the
prisoner that he should have been treated ac
cording to the rules of honorable warfare.—
He seemed to have lost sight of the fact that
he was in command of a band of murderers
and thieves, and forfeited all title_to votec
tion of any kind.
The court then adjourned at 5 o'ioAk to
meet again at 10 o'clock on Monday morning,
when Mr. Chilton will deliver the opening
speech for the prisoner. 0 -
The Harper's Perry Trouble.
CLEARLESTOWN, Oct. 26.—Brown has made
no confession, but on the contrary, says that
he has full confidence in the goodness of God,
and that he is confident 'that he will rescue
him from the perils that surround him. He
says that he has had rides levelled at him,
knives at his throat, and his life in as great
a peril as it now is, but that God has always
been at his side. He knows that God is with
him, and fears nothing. . _
Alexander It. Boteler, member of Congress
elect from this district, has collected fifty-one
hundred letters from the citizens residing in
the neighborhood of Brown's house, who
searched it before the arrival of the marines.
Letters are also in possession of Andrew
Hunter, Esq., who has also a large number
of letters obtained from the house by the ma
rines and other parties. Among them is a
roll of conspirators containing 47 signatures.
Also a receipt from Horace Greeley for let
ters, &c., received from Brown, and an accu
rately traced map from Chambersburg to
Brown's house. Also a copy of a letter from
Brown, stating that the arrival of too many
men at once would excite suspicion, and that
they should arrive singly. Also a letter
signed Merriam stating that if $20,000 was
wanted, C. S. was good for one-fifth. Brown
tells them to let women write letters, not men.
Also a letter from J. E. Cook, stating that the
Maryland election was about to come off, the
people will become excited, and we will get
some of the candidates to join our side.
ARREST OF COOK-HIS IDENTITY ESTABLISHED
011A3IBERSI3TITIZ.0, Oct. O.—Capt. John E.
Cook, was arrested yesterday, by Messrs.
Daniel Logan, and Claggett Fitzhugh, at
Mont Alto, Franklin county, fourteen miles
from this place. There is no doubt of this
being the man. His printed commission,
filled up and signed by Gen. Brown, and
marked No. 4, was found upon his person ;
also a memorandum written on parchment,
of the pistol presented to Washington by La
fayette, and bequeathed to Lewis W. Wash
ington, in 1854. The pistol, he says, is in
a carpet bag which he left on the mountains.
He was fully armed and made a desperate
resistance.
He came out of the mountain into the set
tlement to obtain provisions. He was much
fatigued, and almost starved. He was brought
to this place at 8 o'clock last night. After
an examination before Justice Reisher, and
being fully identified by one of :• f ar citizens
who formerly knew him, he was committed
to jail to away a requisition from Governor
Wise. He acknowledged having three others
with him on the mountain. One of them
was seen and conversed with. He had a blue
blanket over his shoulders, and carried a
Sharpe's rifle and double-barreled gun. He
said one belonged to his partner, who had
gone for provisions.
Parties will go in search of the others to.-
day.
DISCLOSURES BY ONE OP THE INSURGENTS.
CHARLESTOWN, Oct. 27.—John Copeland,
the mulatto prisoner from Oberlin, Ohio, has
made a full confession to the 11. S. Marshals,
Mr. Martin, of Virginia, and Mr. Johnson,
of the Northern District of Ohio. He has
given the names of the party at Oberlin who
induced him to go to Harper's Ferry, who fur
nished the money for his expenses, &c. He
also states that a movement of a similar
character was contemplated in Kentucky
about the same time. Many persons in
Northern Ohio, whose names have not here
tofore been mentioned, are directly implicated.
His confession is withheld from the public
until the trial is over, by order of Governor
Wise. Mr. Johnson was shown to-day a
number of letters implica,ting Gerrit Smith and
a number of prominent men of Oberlin, Cleve
land and other points of Ohio. Among the
letters is one signed Horace Greeley & Co.,
that had enclosed $4l, for seven letters from
Kansas and two from Ohio. It was directed
to J. H. Kagi, one of the killed, but as he had
been a correspondent of the Tribune, this
letter had evidently enclosed his pay. An
other letter from Capt. Brown to one of his
sons, dated April 16, 1859, details a visit to
Gerrit Smith, at Peterboro, which the writer
regarded as highly encouraging ; that Smith
gave him $lBO, and that he also received at
his house, a note good for $2OO more. Also,
that Smith had written to his friends at the
East, that $2,000 must be raised for Brown,
of which he would agree to furnish one-fifth
himself. There is also a notice of a draft from
the cashier of the New York State Bank,
sent him by direction of Gerrit Smith, dated
Albany, August 29, 1859. Marshal John
son, has also a list of officers of the Provision
al Government, and a list of contributors to
the project.
Marshal Johnson left for Cleveland last
evening, taking copies with him. The exam
ination made by marshal Johnson settles the
fact that this movement had long been ma
turing ; that many prominent men in the
Northern States have given money and in
fluence in its behalf, and when the facts aro
made public a sensation may be expected.
How the Abolitionists Talk.
The New York papers of Oct. 24th contain
reports of two Abolition sermons delivered in
that city on Sunday night. We quote from
the Reverend Tighla,nd Garnet, the following
remarks on the late insurrection :
" It was the duty of every man who loved
' the cause,' to say in regard to this subject,
that this movement was right; and any man
who could not boldly say so, had much bettor
say nothing at all. Their only regret .should
be that the movement had failed. * * * *
There is not power enough in the State of
New York to arrest Gerrit Smith. The whole
West would rise, and the government knows
it."
The Rev. Geo. F. Noyes, on the same even
ing, made use of the following :
" I do not believe it is meant that the pul
pit should be silent on the only subject that
is agitating this Republic ; and if the pulpit
would only take proper stand on this great
question, what benefit and reformation could
be done! We must make this question not
only a political issue, but a part of our reli
gion."
Joshua R. Giddings delivered a lecture to
a large audience, in Philadelphia on Friday
night last. [We copy from a city daily :]—
" On appearing on the stand he was received
with 'loud applause. After alluding to the
late trouble, he sketched the condition of sla
very in various States of this Union. He
maintained that every State has the power
of establishing liberty within its border, in
dependent of the General Government, and
that the Federal Government has no business
to defend slave States from violence arising
out of slavery. The Union between the States
does not imply that all the States should de
fend slavery. I hazard nothing in saying
that the people of the free States do not wish
to uphold slavery, although they feel that
each State should have her constitutional
rights.
This is not the time to speak of Brown or
his companions. Those who know him
speak of him more highly than I could; most
of his companions—those who are most for
tunate—are dead. I must spealokfor the fu
ture. Like the gallant American naval he
roes who sailed into the harbor of Tripoli in a
fire ship to burn the vessels of our country's
enemies, they have fallen, but their country
men honor their memory. [Applause.]—
The speaker referred here to the ground taken
byJohn Quincy Adams in Congress on the sla
very question, to the actions of Miner of Penn
sylvania, and to his own opinions in Congress
which secured his expulsion from his seat in
the House. He also referred to the Mexican
war, and said that those who fell there were
murdered to secure the extension of slavery.
This, he said, our free-State people do not
like any more than they like to support the
slave-trade.
He also referred with bitterness to the op
erations of the fugitive slave law, among tho
mountains of his native Somerset, in this State,
and in Ohio; in the latter State one murderer
who shot a fugitive yet remains unhung.—
[Laughter and applause.] Hespoke of the case
of the Oberlin Rescuers, and said that the Wes
tern Reserve stand boldly up against the fu
gitive slave law, and despise the coward who,
knowing his rights, dare not maintain them.
The attempts of the Executive to force slavery
on Kansas made John Brown what he was ;
he was persecuted, and his sons slain, and in
his desperation he has struck the blow that
has thrilled the nation. An " irrepressable
conflict" has arisen, [applause,] and he that
does not look it in the face, does not do his
duty. Now, as to Brown, I presume he has
told the truth when he says he only went to
Virginia to free the slaves. In doing this he
has only agreed with nine-tenths of the peo
ple of the free States. I know he has never
come up to my opinions on this point, and
my notions are said to be too strong for a
Philadelphia audience. [Laughter.] I have
said and believe that it is morally wrong for
a man to remain in slavery, if he can get free.
I would strike down a slave-catcher at my
own door. But I shall not express these sen
timents in Philadelphia. [Long-continued
laughter and applause.]
For years I have given fugitives money and
arms, and taught them their use. lam op
posed to taking life, except in defence of life
or liberty. So, too, think the people of North
ern Ohio. I have been requested to tell what
I know of Brown. lam of opinion that he
came to Jefferson, where I reside, on Satur
day, and spoke in our church on the next
Sunday. He spoke of his Kansas troubles,
and also of his doings in Missouri. I believe
nearly every Democrat and every Republican
contributed to pay for Brown's lecture [ap
plause.] In talking to Brown I spoke against
slavery, but I did not utter as radical opin
ions as Ido generally in public. Brown did
not speak of Virginia, to me, or of arms, or
of his associates. Nor do I think any one
but his associates knew of his Virginia move
ments. And no one who knows my circum
stances will think I ever gave $3OO to Brown.
[Laughter.] I gave three dollars, once, to
relieve the personal distress of Brown's son
—not three hundred ; but little did I believe
this three dollars was to frighten Virginia,
and strike terror to the heart of the Federal
Government. [Great laughter.] When I
read of Brown's living at Ifarper's Ferry, and
making his attack there, I was astounded.—
But I will say, that if Gerrit Smith, or any
one else, gave money to free slaves without
blood-shedding,they certainly offended against
no law of Ohio. Lovers of liberty know their
rights and cannot be frightened.
But I recall the attention to the causes of
the enzeute at Harper's Ferry. It was caused
by a series of unconstitutional outrages, by
the National and State Governments. Our
statesmen have cringed to the South, and
have stained the soil of the free States with
the blood of freemen. There is no mistaking
the feeling of our people. Let timid people
keep quiet. If the causes of such troubles
continue, the dangers will also continue.—
Let our Territory be consecrated to freedom
if peace is to continue.
Mr. Gidding closed by quoting John Quin
cy Adam's " Let it come, (1. e. that is the
fight between freedom and slavery)—in peace
or in blood, I say let it come 1"
There was no disturbance of any kind dur
ing the lecture, which was listened to with
the deepest attention.
Winter Protection of Trees and Plants
Fruit and ornamental trees planted this
Fall, and benefitted by a mound of earth a
foot high thrown up around the trunk. Let
this earth be brought to the tree from another
quarter, not taken off from the extremities of
the roots, and so exposing them, as is too of
ten done. Such a mound will keep the trees
steady against the wind, and protect the
trunks from the inroads of mice. Cunning
as these vermin are, they don't know enough
to ascend a bank of fresh earth in search of
green fodder. For pear trees, subject as they
are to frozen sap-blight, we would suggest
the additional defence of a light board or
section of bark set up against the south side
of the trunks. A hay-band wound on loose
ly, answers a good purpose. Dwarf pears
need special care in winter, if the ground
continues bare. Their roots need a covering
of manure or a mound of earth.
As to cherry trees, do the best you can, and
even then, expect some injury and loss in the
Northern States. For the splitting of the
trunk so common, the protection recommen
ded for the pear tree is woi thy of trial.
Grape vines not perfectly hardy should be
laid on the ground and fastened there, and
then covered with a litter or a few inches of
soil. So of tender roses and shrubs ; they
may be bundled up in straw, or Covered with
matting or ever-green boughs, but they are
generally safer if bent to the ground and
covered with a little earth.
CURE FOR A FELON.—These very painful
affairs often baffle the skill of our best physi
cians, and any receipt fur their prevention
or cure should be gratefully received. An
acquaintance of ours has informed us of a
simple remedy, which has effected upon him
a thorough cure. The spinal marrow of an
ox, put on a cotton rag, and applied to the
felon, changing it every few hours, is the rem
edy. It is simple, and worth a trial by those
afflicted.—Barrisburg Patriot & Union.
MONUMENT TO MR. BRODERICK.—We un
derstand that a movement is on foot, in which
many of the merchants and business men of
this city participate—calling a public meet
ing to consider and adopt the best means of
erecting a suitable monument to the memory
of the late Senator Broderick. We cannot
doubt that this enterprise will receive prompt
and liberal encouragemen t. —Ballet in, 21st lat.
COMPLETED.—The double track on the
Pennsylvania Railroad has been completed
through most of Westmoreland county. The
cars now ran on both tracks east and west of
Greensburg, and the trains pass each other
for the first time, on the high embankment
on each side of the town. It is said that the
two banks have cost the company, since they
have been taken out of the hands of the con
tractors, half a million of dollars.
o -- John Brown is the father of twenty
two children—a force sufficient, itself, to take
Virginia and frighten the slaveholders every
where. We suppose some of these children
were girls, but we don't think that would
make any difference. Women would scare
the Virginians—" babes in arms" would do
it.—Exchange.
