FOR PRESIDTINT IN 1880, JOHN C. BRECHINRIDGE, OF SENTIIC,AT. (ent!led to the Decision of the Charleston Democratic National Convention.) nolo. The recent iinsurrection at 'Tfarpor's Ferry, Virginia, has brought the terrible reality before our eyes - that we in Lebanon county, who have always considered ourselves add ciently removed from'all the horrors which war or insurrection may bring to &neighborhood,. are no more se- cure than border countries or the seaboarienerally: Our inland posi tion pite-tii a security which we now *sewto have been all fancied, and fool lsh as the idea of surrounding our towns and villages with walls er,piek -ets may have been considered two weeks ago, now'the propriety, even 3aoooSSith is worthy of considera tion. The teaehing of Seward, Giddings, -Barlineame, and Gerret Smith, and other Republicans and abolitionists, arc no longer considered as mere talk, but their earnestness has been made manifest to the horror and dis may of the country. Let us assume that Seward, or one of his kind, 'bad been tin the PresideTrtial :Chair when the Harper's Ferry Insurrection com menced. Their eympathy with -the Insurgents would have caused delay in the measures of Government, even if they had not aided and abetted.— A day 0f two of inactivity would have. placed five or ten thousand ne groes in arms upon the .community, ' , some of whom would have taken to 'murder and pillage, while others *int& have started for Canada.— Their route for Canada would have lead frosn . Harper's Ferry to Chani- bersburg, from thenee down the Cum berland Valley to Harrisburg, thence through the Lebanon Valley to Leb anon, Reading, and so en. A :horde is f baibarinns could not otherwise lban.lay waste the country through -which they travel, and at this very 44y, who can realise the horrors with Which 'we, in this peaceful valley, would be afflicted. Murder and ra pine on the one hand, and on the oth er, in case of the capture 'of the in surgents and the, suppression of the Insurrection, our poor houses and jails would be overloaded with swarms of criminal and starving wretches.— Thank God that we have the happi ness of viewing these things enJy . as they might have been: A - nd thanks to the efficiency and promptness - of a government which prevented them from :being so. It is-vain for 'the Republican party to endeavor to - shirk the rilsponsibili ty of such an insurrection, under the pretense that the plans and .acts at Carper's Ferry are the acts of lunat ics. The principles and arguments laid'..down by Seward and the whole Republican party are precisely such MI will produce ,similar fruits. The only difference is that the .dema gogues are preaching while the fan atics practice. Hence, if Seward and his alders and abetters are traitorous demagogues ; are not those that sup port him or his principles in the fu ture; with the fruits, of his teachings befote them, as guilty as be is him self. The fruits of the teachings of the Republican leaders are now before us. The following'are some of the teachings which have led to such de -plorable results. Let them be paint ed upon the banners of those who in the future will choose to march un der them. GARR/1;01y, an Abolitionist and Re publican.—" The Republican Fremont party 11 " 41 ' is striving to accomplish the dissolution -nf the Union and the aho. .lition of slitre , y throughout the land." tOuRRIT SEMI, an Abolitionist and 7Republican.—"Col.

P atriot and Union says, "the first re ports were received with incredulity, because it seemed impossible that an attempt should be made against the Government of the United States at a point directly in the heart of the country, and within a short distance of the Federal capitol. Overt acts of treason have been so rare in this country that no one imagined it with in the range of . nrobabtlity that an attempt so insane as that which has been suppressed could be made against the •Government, "As thelacts of theinsurreetion are gradually discovered, it appears that it , wasainclertaken by a band of Abo litionists, and that Brown, of Kansas notoriety, was their chosen instru ment for carrying it into execution. Perhaps be was its solo originator, as well as leader; 'but certain facts lead to the belief tha4.many of the 'Abo lition leaders . lKnew • Qf the' undertak ing, and assisted it with council and purse. The object of these men was to create a servile insurreetion—to plunge the border States into all the horrors of a war of the most bloody nature, and by this means confer' up on them the blessings .of freedom.— It does not appear that any consid erable number of slaves engaged wil lingly in the undertaking, or acted without coercion. Those who were compelled or pursuaded to join -the insurgents are deserving of more pi ty and mercy than the pretended and unpfindipled philanthropists, who have. more closely rivited the chains they pretended to loosen, requiring masters, as a means of -safety, to re strict their liberty,. or Bell them to southern dealers, beyond the • reach of the tampering of. Abolition emis saries. "Wo do not deiire to charge the 'leaders of the Republican party with any immediate connection with this insurrection, and await the investtga tinn which must follow, before at tempting to fasten the legal respon sibility where it belongs. Bnt mor ally there can.be no doubt that the movement has been hastened, if it was not primarily caused by the alarming doctrines preached by -poli ticians of the Seward, Lincoln, Gid , dings, 'and Sumner schools. They have not only declared that there must be an irrepressible conflict be tween freedom and' slavery, .until the country is all free or slave, but some of them have predicted the very movement which has now been initi ated, and which has only failed to ac complish its purpose, by the imper fect plot and the want of sense of its leaders. The leaders of this diaboli : cal attempt to array the slaves against their masters,. and to cause them to imbrue their hands in the blood of the whole white population;is the pet and paid agent of - the Republieansfof MrssachuSetts. After his.boasts that pro-Slavery men, had u'et with death at his-own hands, he visited New Eng land, and was received with- open arms by 'reading Republican cians, donations were collected for_ his support and future operations, and ,his action, brutal and murderous tis it' confessedly was, generally approv:- ed by the leaders .in the Republican party. row' Well he has improved upon his teachings, and how he has turned 4 ihe sympathy of that class of men to account,--may be gathered from this last and basest of all his acts." ve l ., The New York Herald, in its issue of the - 22d publishes the . "Key to the Harper's Ferry Outhreak."— .. This is a document containing the plan of operations to be followed by the "League." Associations are to be formed, inoney raised, milittiry forces stationed at various points in the South, the slaves incited to rebel, property confiscated, slave-holders dogged, negroes taught to burn their master's dwellings; in short, every method for the successful overthrow of slavery is to be tried.

Thell,ll rree Perrv/n -surrection. Tho principal originator of the 'short but bloody existence of - this 'insurrection, .was un - - .douhtedly Capt. John Brown, whose connection with the scenes of violence in the border warfare of Kansas then Made his mune familiarly noto rious to the whole country. Brown- made hie first appearance in the vicinity of Harper's Fer ry more than a year ago, aeriontpanied by his two sons, that whole party assuming the - mime of Smith. Ile inquired abhut land in-the vi.tinity, and. made investigations abitut the probability of finding ores, end for some time boarded.at ~S andy' Point, a mile east of the Ferry,. - - ' - Afterian absence of s.itme ehenths, hi.reappear ed in the vicinity, and the elder Brown rented or leaned it form on the Maryland side, about four miles from the Furry. They bought a large nuns-, ber of pieks and spades and this' eunfirtned that they intended to search for , - ores. 'rutty were seen frequently iu and about Harper's Ferry, but nu suspicion enema to }MVO . existed that -Bill Smith" was Captain Browti 3 Or that he intended embarking in any momenta no desperate or ex traordinary. 'Vet the developetneet of the plot leaves no doubt that his visit to the Ferry and his lease of the farm were ail parts of his prepa ration for the insurrection; which he supposed would-be successful-in exterminating, slavery in Maryland and Western Virginia.. Brown's chief obi was John 'E. Cook, a oorn puratirely young man, .who hue resided in and near the Ferry fur serne,years. ' lie ivas first ern played in tending it lock on the canal, afterwards taught school on the Maryland side of . the river,_ and, after a brief residence in. Kansas, ;where it is supposed he hecatne acquainted with Brown, returned, to the Ferry, and married , there. 'lie: was regarded as amain of souse intelligenee, known to be anti-slavery, but not so violent in the expression of. his opinions as to excite any suspicions. These two men, with Brown's two sons, were the only vt bite - men connected with 'rite insurrection that had been aeon previously about the Ferry. All were brought, by Brown from ii. distaace, and nearly all had been with him in Kansas. . .- - The first•antive movement in the insurrection was made about ten o'clock on Sunday night.

The next moment the marines poured in, the firing ceased and the work was done, whilst cheers rang from every side, the general feeling being that the marines had 'done their part admirably. When the insurgents were brought out, some deed and others wounded, they were greeted with execrations, and only the precautions that had been taken saved them from immediate execution. The crowd, nearly every man of which carried a gun, swayed with tumultuous excitement, and cries of "shoot them :" "shoot them'." rang from every tide. The appearance of the liberated prisoners, all of whom through the steadiness of the marines escaped injury, changed this-current of feeling, and prolonged cheers took theplace of howls and execrations. In the assault, Private Ruffort, of the marines, received :shall in the stomach, and was Whiled to be fatally.wonnded. Another receividp, slight flesh wound. TIM DEAD AND WOUNDED. The lawn in front of the engine house, after the assault, presented a drentlftil sight.
