WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE.—We would
like to see the masses of all parties lead the
politicians. eVe would like to see the politi
cians compelled to respect the will of the ma
jority of the honest voters of their party.—
We would like to see every candidate defeat
ed who resorts to dishonorable means to se
cure his success. We would like to see the
best men nominated and elected to all posi
tions, frcim President down to the smallest
county, township or borough officer. We
would like to see men free to censure those
they have placed in power when they deserve
it. When wreckless and unprincipled poli
ticians succeed in putting in nomination men
no better than themselves, we would like to
see the people, irrespective of party, vote them
down. We would like to see the press as
ready to denounce bad nominations as they
are to applaud good ones. We would like
to see editors independent, and honest in pol
itics as well as in everything else, and such
we would like to see well supported. We
would like to see parties honorably dealt with
—because a few would-be leaders disgrace
the company they are in, the whole should
not be held accountable. We would like to
see party men always contending for what
they believe to bo right—and go ahead.—
And we would like to see every man take a
paper, if he is able to pay fur it ; and if he
takes one, and is not willing to pay for it
within a reasonable time, we would like him
to request the editor to stop it and save any
further expense. And We would like our
office crowded next week with friends ready
to pay up arrearages—and others willing to
commence with advance payments.
THE MARY LA ELECTION.-At the late
election in Maryland, large gains were made
by the Democratic party in all the interior
districts. They will have a majority on joint
ballot in the State Legislature, and thus be
enabled to elect a Democratic successor to the
present Senator, Mr. Pearce. They also
have, for the first time in the history of Ma
ryland, majority in both branches of the
State Legislature—in the Senate as well as
in the House—and they can do much to pre
vent a repetition of the Baltimore outrages
by dividing that city into small election di
visions. The last Senate stood seven Dem
ocrats and fifteen Americans but the new
Senate will contain eight Americans and
fourteen Democrats. The House of Delegates
is composed of seventy-four members, and,
at the last session, consisted of thirty Demo
crats and forty-four Americans. The new
House will contain twenty-six Americans and
forty-eight Democrats. The Congressional
delegation will probably stand three Demo
crats to three Americans, as in the last Con
gress, and be composed of the following mem
bers :
Ist District—James A. Stewart, (Dem.)
2d " Edwin 11. Webster, (Am.)
3d " J. M. Harris, (Am.)
4th i 4 Henry Winter Davis, (Am.)
sth " Col. Jacob M. liunicel, (Dem
6th " Col. Geo. W. Hughes, (Dem.)
MisstssrPrt ELECTION.—The official returns
of the Mississippi election show a Democrat
le majority of 25,105 votes. In the Legisla
ture the Opposition has four members in the
Senate, and fourteen in the House. The ma
jorities in the Congressional districts are as
follows : First District, L. Q. 0. Lamar, (no
opposition,) 7391 ; Second, R. Davis, 7199 ;
Third, William Barksdale, (no opposition,)
7125 ; Fourth, 0. R. Singleton, 5664 ; Fifth,
J. J. Mcßae, (no opposition,) 6668.
10 - svA.—Nearly every county of lowa has
been heard from, and the Republican major
ity for Governor is just about 3,000. (Last
Governor's election, 2,151.) On the rest of
the State ticket, the Senate will stand, 26
Republican to 17 Democratic. The House
stands, so far as heard from, 47 Republican
to 32 Democratic, leaving eight districts to
hear from, all of which gavo Republican ma
jorities at the State election in 1858.
MINNESOTA ELECTION.—The Republicans
have made a clean sweep in the new State of
Minnesota, which for the first time will be
under Republican rule. They have the Gov
ernor, other State officers, and a large major
ity of both branches of the Legislature. This
insures that party an United States Senator.
PEP On Sunday, the 23d ult., at Lynch
burg, Va., a thousand negroes assembled on
the basin to take leave of the negroes belong
ing to the estate of the late F. B. Shackle
ford, of Amherst, -who in accordance with
the will of the deceased, were about to de
part for a. free State. The number set free
was forty-four. Of these twenty-seven left,
the balance preferring to remain in servitude
in Virginia, rather than :enjoy their freedom
olse where,
Eir It appears that a band of Abolition
ists, of Boston, incensed at the conduct of
3lessrs. Logan and Fitzhugh, the gentlemen
who arrested " Capt." Cook, near Chamber's
burg, have determined to come on and ad
minister upon them proper punishment for
their "infamous and inhuman treachery."—
They have addressed letters to the authorities
of Chambersburg to that effect, and in one of
them make the bold assertion, that " this
band of desperadoes will leave here (Boston)
in a few days, with the determination never
again to turn their faces northward, or re
trace their steps, until the base treachery and
dastardly cries of Logan and his more infa
mous associate is wiped out with their blood."
The Richmond Enquirer, edited by
a son of Gov. Wise, says that the Governor
has had assurances that he would be made
the President ;In 1860, if he would pardon
"Old Brown." According to the _Enquirer,
Gov. Wise has no intention of interposing
the Executive clemency, either in Brown's
case or that of any of his confederates who
may be convicted. That paper concludes its
article as follows :
" Virginia will execute Brown and his as
sociates, and feels herself able to meet all
the consequences that may arise from that
act."
g' The Doylestown, (Pa.) Democrat con
cludes an able article, advocating the nomi
nation of Judge Douglas as the next Demo
cratic Presidential candidate, as follows :
"We are for Mr. Douglas for the Presi
dency before any other man, because we be
lieve him the strongest candidate named, to
say nothing of the many other reasons to be
urged in his behalf. His sterling political
integrity, his indomitable courage, and un
faltering, consistency, commend him to the con
fidence of the country.
The Somerset (Pa.) Democrat has at
the head of its editorial columns the name of
Hon. Jeremiah S. Black as a candidate for
President, subject to the decision of the
Charleston Convention. As the Democrat is
a sort of home organ of the Judge, this use
of his name is, no doubt, fully authorized.

has declared war against Morocco, and it was
feared that there would be difficulty between
England and France.

TYRONE CITY, Nov. 2, 1859.
DEAR CLODS :—I am at this time enjoying
the hospitality of the good folks of Tyrone City
—a more noble, kind-hearted, and hospitable
people exists not on terra firma. The "Ty
rone City Hotel," at which I am now stop
ping, is owned by Col. Win. H. Irvin, for
merly from Duncansville, who has made great
improvement upon the building during his
Administration. He has for his "right
bower," A. P. Owens, Esq., who in connection
with the proprietor, cannot be excelled as
landlords and gentlemen. Those who may
be so fortunate as to sojourn under their roof,
may afterwards dot it down as a pleasant and
happy period in their lives.
Quite an excitement prevailed here in con
sequence of a powder magazine having been
erected in ilie street by the new company who
have taken the contract to finish the Tyrone
& Philipsburg Railroad. The good people
of this place, it would seem, prefer taking
some other voyage heavenward than that of
being "blown up." They therefore held a
caucus of those most interested, and pc
tioned a meeting of the "City Fathers," who,
after discussing the dangerous qualities of
gun powder generally, adopted means to re
move the nuisance forthwith, or the magazine
and its contents would have been hurled into
the Blue Juniata vi et armis, by the indignant
citizens.
Our brief stay will not allow us to give you
the result of the Council's orders, but as we
have had no symptoms of a miniature earth
quake since, I presume the magazine has
moved northward, and. the terrified. citizens
once more enjoy their wonted rest.
Yours, &c., AJAX.
Ft = °The Greensburg (Pa.) Arius contains
the following announcement :
"The Rev. Mr. Tieesey, pastor of the Uni
ted Brethren Church, of Greensburg, left his
home on the 10th of October, to assist a broth
er at Altoona, Pa. Since then he has not
been heard of. It is ascertained that he did
not go to Altoona, and the most painful ap
prehensions are felt by his wife and friends
for his disappearance. Mr. Keesey is an
able and popular preacher—happy in his
family relations—no man was more prudent
and circumspect in his deportment. He has
a wife and five children, to whom be was a
most kind and affectionate husbaud and fath
er. For some days before he left, he appeared
to be gloomy and in deep trouble. Simulta
neous with his leaving home, a very hand
some and fascinating young grass widow has
also disappeared in a mysterious manner.—
The disappearance of the grass widow on the
same day that Mr. Keesey left has thrown a
dark cloud around the circumstances, and
filled the hearts of his wife and friends with
unalloyed anguish. We trust, however, that
a few days will explain the matter in such a
manner as to relieve the character of the Rev.
gentleman from suspicions that now sur
round him, and restore him to that high po
sition in the affections of his congregation
that ha has hitherto occupied."
HOW THE SLAVES RECEIVED BROWN'S PROP
osmoN.—A. negro boy, belonging to Mr.
Washington, who was taken by the insur
gents at the time his master was, when he
reached the Ferry, was offered a pike, which
be refused, when one-_of the insurgents told
him that he was free and should fight the
whites. The boy replied : "I don't know
anything about being free; I was free
enough before you took me, and I'm not go
ing to fight until I see Massa Lewis fighting,
and thou I fight for him." This boy was
among the prisoners in the engine lions°.
The Baltimore Election Outrages.
PLDC-lICLYISIV IN TUF, ASCENDANT.
[From the Baltimore Su❑ of Nov. 3.]
We briefly sum up a part of the outrages
of yesterday :
In the First ward, Edward Cockey was bad
ly stabbed with awls, and several persons se
riously beaten. About half past ten o'clock
a man named Kelly started up the hill to the
polls, and when about a hundred yards dis-,
tent, he was assailed by five men, one of
whom dealt him a blow which felled .him to
the ground. lie instantly regained his feet,
and drawing a revolver, pursued and fired
six shots at his assailants; and - threw his pis
tol after them. He Was not seriouslyinjared.
In the Second ward, the rowdies interfered
with the election, compelling many natural
ized citizens to vote their ticket. Wm. P.
Preston, Esq., Democratic candidate for Con
'tress from the Third district, wad brutally
beaten.
In the Third ward, Mr. Henry Herring,
Jr., lumber inspector, No. 82 Bond street,
went in behind the barricade to vote, and
being pressed.and jammed by the roughs, he
staggered outside and fell dead. The physi
cians, who were called, say that the death
was he result of apoplexy. A man named
Dan Crothers was badly beaten about eleven
o'clock. After that time there was quiet, no
position being offered to those who had pos
session of the polls. Mr. Isaac S. George, a
most respectable citizen, residing on East
Baltimore street, was standing at the door
with an infant child in his arms, when he
observed some parties coming along maltreat
ing some countrymen. He made the remark
that it was a shame, when he was arrested
by some police who happened to be along,
and taken to the Eastern police station,
whence he was subsequently released. No
record of his arrest was made.
The Fourth ward all show - of opposition by
the Reformers was abandoned.
in the Fifth ward, Joseph Vansant, son of
the Hon. Joshua Vansant, was severely beat
en. Several others shared the same fate.—
Mr. Joseph Clarkson, machinist, .on Front
street, and his two sons, were severely beaten
after which the three were arrested and taken
to the Central police station. Before the
opening of the polls the windows in the store
of John W. Hunt, at the corner of Fayette
and Eseter streets, were broken, and bricks
were thrown into his house. Several other
houses shared the same treatment.
In the Sixth ward the Roughs held full
sway.
In the Eighth - ward everything progressed
quietly from the time the polls were opened.
A barricade was erected so that the window
could not be crowded and the voting went on
rapidly. There were several police officers
present, but they left at noon and did not re
turn. The judges provided themselves with
the different tickets to be voted for, and sup
plied all who did not obtain them before
reaching the polls. A large number of per
sons who did not live in the ward presented
themselves, but their votes were promptly
rejected without creating any dierder.—
About four o'clock iu the afternoon a man
named Petticord, from the Seventh ward,
presented himself and demanded the right to
vote, which was refused him. He became
violent, when some one struck at him, but he
was quickly surrounded and guarded to a
place of safety. That was the only difficulty
during the day, and no personal injury was
sustained, nor was there at any time any
crowding at the polls.
In the Ninth ward, a German was dread
fully beaten whilst in the hands of an officer.
The Reformers were finally driven from the
the polls.
In the Tenth ward, John Hinesly, who was
rejected on Tuesday night by the City Coun
cil, acted as judge of election. A few min
utes after the polls opened an attack was
made on the Reformers by the "Regulators."
Mr. R. B. Fisher, of the firm of J. I. Fisher
& Sons, was stuck by awls '
• and fired a revol
ver on his assailant, and others defended
themselves. A brick narrowly passed the
head of S. Teackly Wallis, Esq., ; a shower
of stones being thrown, and a number of men
who rushed out of an adjacent tavern, com
menced au indiscriminate firing with rifles
and horse pistols. James Jeffers, son of Mad
ison Jeffers, was wounded by a shot on the
head. Several others were wounded, but
their names could not be ascertained. Mr.
T. 11. Martin, the Reform judge, objected to
alleged unfairness, and was struck by llines
ly, and felt impelled to leave his post. A
young man named Roberts was knocked
down and badly beaten, about 4 o'clock, for
attempting to vote the Reform ticket. Nu
merous knock downs occurred during the day.
In the Eleventh ward the Reformers were
in full force, and kept the polls open and
free to all legal voters up to 1 o'clock, P. M.
Several attempts were made to drive off the
Reformers by the Roughs from other parts of
the town, but they were met by manly resis
tance, and were compelled to retreat. Several
prominent merchants and Reformers were
arrested for asserting their rights and defend
ing themselves, taken to the station-house
and released on peace securities. When all
the other wards were in the hands of the
clubs, George M. Gill, Esq., addressed the
Reformers, stating that as the contest had
been abandoned in all the other wards except
the Eighth, it was useless to continue it there,
and advised their withdrawal. This was
then quietly done, Dr. Hanson Thomas, the
Reform Judge, withdrawing with them.—
Several of the rowdies were arrested during
the day, but immedialy released. A man
named Nally was stabbed during the morn
ing.
In the Twelfth ward several persons were
badly beaten. Mr. Robert 13. Walter, who
had been to the polls, was struck with a
stone on Futaw street, near Baltimore, knoCk
ed down and kicked in the face. Two po
licemen saw the assault and permitted the
ruffians to get off.
In the Thirteenth ward no collisions oc
curred of consequence, for
.the reason that
there was no opposition to the Americans.
In the Fourteenth ward there was a scene
of carnage, which began about half past nine
o'clock. At that time there was a rush to
the polls, when a man charged James John
son, alias Sonny White, with stabbing him
with an awl, and immediately drew a pistol
and shot him. The ball penetrated the orbit
of the left eye and lodged in the skull, a lit
tle above and back of the left ear. This was
the signal, and some ten or fifteen shots were
fled. Mr. henry Starr received two balls
in his left leg, one of which passed through
the limb, and the other was embedded about
three inches below where the first struck, and
which was subsequently taken out by Dr.
Baxley. Mr. Stiles, a young man residing
on South Howard street, received two balls
in the left arm, near the shoulder, one of
which crushed the bone and passed entirely
through. The other crushed the bone and
embedded itself in the limb. lle also ro
ceived a ball in the right leg, just below the
knee, which severed a blood vessel of consid
erable size, causing a large flow of blood, and
infiltrated the soft tissues of the limb. He
was attended by Dr. Baxley, and his wounds
aro of a dangerous nature. It is thought
that he will at feast lose his arm.
Michael Duffy, watchman at the Eutaw
House, received two balls in the right leg,
below the knee. He is not dangerously woun
ded. At the time the fray began, it appears
that objection was made to the vote of a Re
former named Niedhammer, which ]ed to the
first shot, which took effect on Johnson.—
After the, shooting had ceased, Johnson was
removed to the western - police station, when
Dr. Baxley was called to him. Dr. B. found
him in a comatose state, and after inserting
a probe three inches into his cranium, pro
nounced the injury mortal. He then search
ed for the ball, and found that it had broken
through the skull, above the left ear, whence
he extracted it. Johnson was then removed
to the infirmary, where' he died about two
o'clock in the afternoon. His body was then
removed to the residence of his parents, on
Pierce street.
Michael Duffy, the man spoken of above
as having been shot in the leg, was arres
ted on the charge of shooting Johnson, and
he was held for a hearing. A gentleman
who was present and saw the whole fracas,
pointed out a party to a police officer and de
manded his arrest. The officer replied :
" You be d—d ; attend to your own busi
ness," and passed on. A Mr. Zimmerman
was also said to be shot at this poll, but the
extent of his injury could not be ascertained.
In the Fifteenth ward a desperate assault
was made by the " Tigers" on the Reformers
just as the polls opened. As Adam B. Kyle,
wholesale dry-goods dealer on German street,
was approaching the polls, he was met by a
party of ruffians, one of whom snatched his
ticket from his hand, and at the same.mo
meat another knocked him down with iron
knuckles. Mr. K. defended himself as well
as he could with his cane until he regained
his feet, when he drew his revolver. Imme
diately several shots were fired at him with
out striking his person, and one ball from his
pistol penetrated the thigh of one of his as
sailants named Hiram Ford. Mr. K. re
treated and took refuge in a house, whither
he was followed by his assailants and shot.
A ball penetrated his head, inflicting a mor
tal wound. II was removed to the residence of
his father, No. 88 Hanover street, when Pro
fessor Smith and other physicians were called
in to attend him. George H. Kyle, a brother
of the above, was also assaulted by the same
gang, and shot by two balls in the arm
and one in the leg. His wounds are not con
sidered dangerous. A boy who was near at
the time, received a ball in his chest and
was thought to be mortally wounded. His
name did not transpire. After these occur
rences no Reformers ventured near the polls.
In the Sixteenth ward, Mr. Theodore Wood
wall, a challenger of the Reformers, and Mr.
Frederick Bowers, were assailed, and serious
ly beaten. Crowds armed with swords and
firearms held undisputed sway. The Reform
Judge withdrew, and one of the police who
desired, but was prevented by other officers
from doing his duty, expressed his inten
tion to resign, and was reported to have
done so.
In the Seventeenth ward, Reformers were
not, except in very few instances, permitted
to approach the polls, being warned that if
they did so, it was at the peril of their
lives.
In the Eighteenth ward, the polls were
early taken possession of by the Roughs.—
Mr. Felix BicCurley, Mr. John MeCurley,
Mr. Edward Moon, and other good citizens,
were knocked down and severely beaten by
parties of ruffians.
In the Nineteenth ward, Mr. John E.uhl
was very badly beaten and cut about the
head.
In the Twentieth ward, an attack was made
on the Reformers at an early hour, and they
were compelled to retire. One or two promi
nent gentlemen were arrested for defending
themselves, but subsequently released.
The Harper's Perry Trouble
Cook Committed for Trial—The Trial of
Coppee concluded—Sentence of John Brown
—,Slocech of the Prisoner—He Denies. any
Intention to Murder or Commit Treason—
Brown to be hung on December second—
Coppee Found Guilty on all the Counts.
OLIA Ft LESTOWN, Va., Nov. 2—Messrs, Russell
and Lennot, attorneys from Boston reached
here day.
COOK COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.
Cook was brought before the magistrate's
court, but waived an examination. lie was
committed for trial.
THE TRIAL OF COFFEE
Coppee's trial was resumed. No witnesses
were called for the defence. Mr. Hardin°.
opened the argument for the Commonwealth,
and Messrs. Hoyt and Griswold followed for
the defendant. Mr. Hunter closed for the
prosecution. The speeches were of marked
ability.
Mr. Griswold asked for several instructions,
which were all granted by the court. The
jury then retired.
SENTENCE OF JOHN BROWN-HIS SPEECH.
Brown was then brought into the Court
House, which was immediately thronged.
The Court gave its decision on the motion
to arrest judgment, overruling the objections
made. On the objection that treason cannot
be committed against a State except by a
citizen, it ruled that wherever allegiance was
due treason may be committed; most of the
States have passed laws against treason.—
The objections as to the form of the verdict
rendered, wore also regarded as insufficient.
The clerk then asked Brown whether he
had anything to say why sentence should not
be pronounced, when
Brown stood up, and in a clear and dis
tinct voice, said :
" I have, may it please the Court, a few
words' to say.
"In the first place, I deny everything but
what I have all along admitted—the design
on my part to free the slaves. I intended,
certainly to have made a clean thing of that
matter, as I did last winter, when I went into
Missouri and there took the slaves without
the snapping of a gun on either side, moved
them through the country, and finally left
them in Canada. I designed doing the same
thing again, on a larger scale. That was all
I intended. I never did intend to commit
murder or treason, or to destroy property, or
to excite or incite the slaves to rebellion, and
to make an insurrection.
" I have another objection, and that is, it
is unjust that I should suffer such a penalty.
Had I interfered in the manner which I ad
mit—and which I admit has been fairly
proved, (for I admire the truthfulness and
candor of the greater portion of the witnesses
who have testified. in this case)—had I so in-
terferred in behalf of the rich, the powerful ,
the intelligent, the so-called great, or in be
half of their friends, either father, mother,
brother, sister, wife or children, or any of
that class, and suffered and sacrificed what I
have in this interference, it would have been
all right. Every man in this court would
have deemed it an act worthy of reward,
rather than punishment. This court ac
knowledges, as I suppose, the validity of the
law of God. I see a book kissed here which
I suppose to be the Bible, or at least the new
Testament. That teaches me that `all things
whatsoever I would that men should do to
me, I should do even so to them.' It teaches
me farther to `remember those that are in
bonds as bound with them.' I endeavored
to act up to that instruction. I say that I
am yet too young to understand that God is
any respector of persons. I believe that to
have interfered, as I have done, as I have
always freely admitted I have done, in be
half of His despised poor, was no wrong, but
right. Now, if it is deemed necessary that I
should forfeit my life for Lht - furtherance of the
ends of justice, and mingle my blood further
with the blood of my children, and with the
blood of - millions in this slave country whose
rights are disregarded by the wicked, cruel,
and unjust enactments, I submit—so let it
be done. Let me say one word further. I
feel entirely satisfied with the treatment I
have received on my trial. Considering all
the circumstances, it has been more generous
than
,I expected ; but I feel no consciousness
of guilt. I have stated from the first what
was my intention, and what was not. I nev
er had any design against the life of any
person, or any disposition to commit treason,
or excite the slaves to rebel or make any gen
eral insurrection. I never encouraged any
man to do so, but discouraged any idea of
that kind. Let me say, also, in regard to
the statements made by some of those con
nected with me—l hear it has been stated by
some of them that I have induced them to
join me, but the contrary is true. I do not
say this to injure them, but as regretting
their weakness. Not one joined me but of
his own accord, and the greater part at their
own expense. A number of them I never
saw, and never had a word of conversation
with till the day they came to me ; and that
was for the purpose I have stated. Now I
have done."
While Brown was speaking, perfect quiet
prevailed. When he had finished, the Court
proceeded to pronounce the sentence. After
a few preliminary remarks, in which he said
no reasonable doubt could exist as to the pris
oner's guilt, he sentenced hint to be hung, in
public, on Friday, the 2d of December.
Brown received the sentence with compo
sure.
The only demonstration made, was with
the clapping of hands by one man in the
crowd who is not a resident of Jefferson coun
ty. This was promptly suppressed, and
much regret was expressed by the citizens at
its occurrence.
THE VERDICT IN COFFEE'S CASE-GUILTY ON ALL
THE COUNTS OF THE INDICTMENT.
After being out an hour, the jury in the
case of Coppee returned with a verdict, de
claring him guilty on all the counts in the
indictment.
Ills counsel gave notice of a motion to ar
rest judgment, as in Brown's case.
The court then adjourned.
