Persons indebted, and there are hundreds of delinquents, will please oome forward and pay wbat they owe us; or, if they cannot call in person, let them send it by a friend, or remit by moil at our risk. We prefer either of these plans to sending out bills by a collector; for our uniform ex perience has been that, after the collector takes ont of the small Bum he generally receives twenty five per cent, for his trouble, and forgets to make a return of about twenty five per cent, more, there is precious little left to hand over to the Printer 1 If we did not need money, we would not thus address delinquents. But we have no choice in the matter ; we must have money in order to keep our heads above water. PRETTY WELL FOR MARYLAND I Notwithstanding the infamous outrages committed by the Plug Uglies and their Know Nothing sympathisers and abettors, in Balti more, through which thousands of quiet and peaceable citizens were kept away from the polls, the Democrats in other portions of the State did remarkably well, and have elected a majority in both branches of the Legislature, and three of the six members of Congress. The City of Baltimore has become a plague spot in that ancient Commonwealth, and unless some plan is speedily devised to suppress the rioting and disorder, there iB no telling what it may lead to. No man’s life is any longer safe in its streets after night fall. The muni cipal and police authorities either wink at the outrages of the ruffian mobs, or are powerless in the way of suppressing the evil. The city is in terror, and is now as completely under the oontrol of rowdies and cut-throat villains as was Paris during the darkest period of the French Revolution, when Robespierre and his blood-thirsty colleagues kept the gullotine in motion day and night without intermission. — (rile election riots in Baltimore for the last four or five years form the darkest page in our country’s history. Fortunately for the character of the old State whose history is graced with the name of Charles Carroll, of Carrolton, the people outside of Baltimore appear to have very little sympathy with the ruffianism that prevails there. CONVICTION OF BROWN, Ossawattumie Brown, the leader of the Abolition mob at Harper’s Ferry, has been convicted on all the counts of the indictment preferred against him, viz : riot, treason and murder. His counsel made an effort to set aside the verdict, on the ground that, because he was not a citizen of Virginia, he could not commit treason against the State. But the Court over ruled the objection, and sentenced the prisoner to be hanged on Friday the 2nd of December. Brown made a short address before the sentence, and when the Judge pronounced his doom he received it with com posure. Copi’EE and Green, his companions, have also been convicted on all the counts in the indictment, and will likewise be sentenced to death. The others under arrest will all be tried, and. doubtless, share the same fate. BEECHER, PHILLIPS AND CORWIN, The Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, (Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's.) presented ah extraordinary scene on Tuesday night last. Wendell Phillips, of Boston, was announced to deliver the fourth lecture of the “Plymouth Course,” his subject being “ Lessons for the Hour,” but without at all addressing himself to that subject, he launched iDto a glowing eulogy of John Brown, the condemned traitor who headed the recent insurrection at Har per’s Ferry, and for an hour, amid the applause of such audiences as drink in the teachings of Ward Beecher, portrayed Brown as the Saviour'of his Country, a greater than Washington, and himself and his associates patriots and martyrs. He justified every act of John Brown’s life, whether in Kansas or at Harper’s Ferry, and no matter how bloody ; declared the plot developed at Harper’s Ferry a God sanctioned effort against tyranny, and a ' legitimate fruit of anti-slavery doctrine and teachings. He was proud of the effort Brown had made, and exclaimed, “ God be thanked for John Brown. This is a great country to live in now. I expected and do expect insurrec tion. IT IS THE RESULT OF ANTI SLAVERY TEACHING.” So much of the harangue as was not eulogistic of Brown was devoted to violent denunciation of the Govern ment and the boldest proclamation of the most treasonable sentiments. Thomas Cor win of Ohio, now on a missionary tour to aid the New York Republians, was upon the platform with Phillips. It is mournful to reflect that the temples of God are thus made forums from which to fulminate open treason and praise of bloodshed. Will our neighbor of the ' Lancaster Union be so kind as to inform the public that Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Wendell Phillips and Thomas Corwin, above spoken of, have been for years, and still are, “ burning and shining lights ” in the great Black Republi can household, and will he publish Phillips’ lecture justifying the murders and outrages committed by old Brown and his party, at Harper’s Ferry ? PLUGCGLYISM I One branch of the Opposition party—the Abolitionists —committed the triple crimes of murder, robbery and treason, at Harper’s Ferry;—the other branch—the Know Noth ings,—have placed the city of Baltimore completely at the mercy of cut throats, ruffians and desperadoes of the most abandon ed oharaoter. The State election in Maryland took place on Wednesday last, and as was to have been expected, although we had faint hopes of better things, another bloody riot, provoked and carried out by the rowdies and bullies, the Plug Uglies, and others of, that ilk calling themselveß Native Americans , took place. Several persons were killed, and many wounded, and the Reformers, finding that a protracted struggle was useless, and that any attempt to vote only imperilled their lives, retired from the contest at an early hour, leaving the polls and the election entirely in the hands of a mob who disgrace the name of American freemen. The police, who are under the control of that ruffian party, made no attempt to preserve order, and no arrests were made. William P. Preston, Democratic candidate for Congress, was badly beaten on the head by the rowdies, and is confined to his bed from the injuries he received. Such is the opposition to the Democratic party in the city of Baltimore ! What is to be the end of these things no mortal oan tell. It will soon be a query, if such conduct is tolerated, whether we live in a civilieed or barbarous age of the world. THE SHOE FINCHES I Our neighbor of the Union is entirely too sensitive. We had no idea last week that our articles on the Harper’s Ferry Insurrection, the origin of which we justly charged to the teachings of the Republican leaders, would stir up his bile to the extent they have done. However, we do not recognize in the Union articles, in which we are attacked with such bitterness and savage ferocity, the writing of our amiable friend, Cochran, who does up the fancy localizing and sentimentalism for the Abolition organ, par excellence, of the “Old Guard.” On the contrary, we think our optics can trace in them the slovenly abuse of an ill natured, lubberly, over- grown specimen of humanity, who hails not a hundred miles from Duke Street. Be that as it may, however, the abuse we refer to is not argument, nor has the Union attempted to answer any of our articles. In fact the writer does not pretend to do so, and could not, if he did, deny the truthfulness of them. We can substantiate, by proofs strong as Holy Writ, the damning evidence of what we have alleged against the Republican lead- ers, and shall continue to hold them up in their true colors to the public gaze. The abuse of the Union haß no terrors for us. We shall continue to “ pursue the even tenor of our way,” and Bhow who are the really re sponsible parties for the murder, treason, and robbery practised at Harper 7 s Ferry; and if, in so doing, the shoe pinches our neighbor or the Black Republican scribblers for his paper and leaders of his party, we cannot help it, however much we may regret the irascible and ill-natured temper they exhibit. Perhaps the editor of the Union has not yet seen in print the lecture of Wendell Phillips, a noted leader of the Republican party, delivered in the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher’s (another Republican light) Church, at Brooklyn, last week. We feel disposed tu enlighten him with the subjoined extract from that infamously treasonable speech. After Borne general remarks about education, Mr. Phillips went on to say as follows: He proceeded to affirm that education would not secure freedom, and' then spoke of the late outbreak at Harper’s Ferry in the follow ing strain: It seems as if Virginia asked leave to be of John Brown at Harper s Ferry. Connecticut has sent out schoolmasters to other States of the Union, bt* she has never sent out one before to write in lines of light on the Natural Bridge, and on the nation’s copybook, “ Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.” I said the lesson of the hour was insurrection. I want to apply that word to John Brown, of Ossawatomie. There was no insurrection in his case., It is a great mistake to call him an insurgent. What is the Commonwealth of Virginia? She is only a chronic insurrection. I mean exactly what I say ; I am weighing my words now. She is a pirate ship, and John Brown sails the sea, the Lord High Admiral of the Almighty, with letters of mark and reprisal against every pirate that he meets on board the ocean of the Nineteenth Century. [Ap plause.] I mean literally and exactly what I say. In God’s world for a moment there are no majority and no minority : one is majority. You have often heard, doubtless, and I need not teach you that the rights of one man (Browu) are as sacred as thoße of the Cora monwealth of Virginia. He has as much right to hang Gov. Wise as Gov. Wise has to hang him. [Great Applause.] You see that I am talking of that absolute conscience and essence of things that lives in the sight of the Etornal and Infinite. In reference to the trial of Brown, Virginia, true to herself, has shown exactly the same haste that the pirate dues when he meant to take a man on deck aud run him on the yard-arm unconsciously. John Brown began his active life in Kansas aud south of that scene he reaped the first fruits. The South planted the seeds of vio lence in Kansas; it taught peaceful Northern men familiarity with the bowie knife and the revolver. They planted 999 Reeds, and this is the first one that flowered, the first drops of the coming shower. People do me the honor to say, in some of the Western papers, that it is traceable to some teachings of mine. It is too much honor to such as me. Gladly, if it were a fulsome vanity, would I acknowledge the laurel in having any share in the great resolute daring of that man that flung himself against the Emperor in behalf of justice and liberty. Up to this moment Brown’s life has he -n one of unmixed success. lie had pru dance, skill, courage, thrift, knowledge of time and knowledge of his opponents, and undaunted daring in the face of the nation. This is the man who went down to Harper’s Ferry to follow up hie work. He has done a great deal already, and now Virginia is a decent country to live in. Actually in this Sodom of ours seventeen men have been found ready to die for an idea. God be thanked for John Brown. [Applause.] We have redeemed the long infamy of twentj years of subservience. There is nothing new "about this. It is the natural results of anti slavery teaching. For one I accept it, whether that man succeeded in a worldly sense or not, that he stood as the representative of law, government, right, justice and religion, lhere were parties that gathered about him and en deavored to reap vengeance by taking his life on the banks of the Potomac. History will visit it more kindly because he (Brown) has hallowed it with the eternal brightness of his glorious deeds, rather than because the dust of Washington rests upon one side of the river. If Virginia pirates dare to hang him after this mockery of a trial, it will take two Washingtons at least to make the river any thing but abominable for ages to come.— [Great applause and some hissing.] Well, I say what I really think. [Laughter.]. John Brown has given us something to think of. Brown’s act is the lesson of the age. He was not thrifty ; he did not calou? late closely enough, and he was' defeated.— Hundreds of well armed troops, continued the speaker, never dared to pull a trigger.— You shot Brown (meaning his hearers) : six teen marines, to whom you pay $8 a month, went to the disturbed State when it could not stand on her own legs for trembling, and strengthened the feeble knees; sixteen men, with the vulture of the Union above them, covenanted with death, and took the old man by the throat with a pirate hand, and it will be a disgrace to our civilization if a gallows is ever erected in Virginia that bears him upon it. Mr. Phillips then denounced what he called the summary manner in which Brown was disposed of, observing that if one single bone of Jeffries remained it w> uld knock against the sides of the coffin against any judge that debased even the infamy of Jeffries by trying John Brown. [Applause.] He knew that many would deem him a fanatic for uttering this wholesale vituperation, as it would be called, upon a State, and for this indorsement of a madman. They met with the indications of the changes which had been effected in the Northern States for the last few years. When the first news of the Harper’s Ferry affair, said the speaker, came to Massachusetts, if you were riding in the cars, or walking in the street, the first impulsive expression was, “ What a pity he (Brown) did Dot succeed ! what a fool he was for not going off on Mon day night when he had ali he wanted, 1” Every man voluntarily seemed to give vent to his indignation at the farce of a trial. In conclusion Mr. Phillips alluded to the self sacrificing Mrs. Childs, who volunteered to look after Brown's temporal and Spiritual condition, remarking that Gov. Wise had to open the door and announce to the world that she might go in. John Brown has conquered the tyrant. There is hope everywhere ; it is only the universal history—right on the scaffold, wrong for ever on the throne, but that scaffold sways the future. Behind the dim unknown standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above bis own. The Hon. Mr. Corwin, of Ohio, who was present, was loudly called for, and in obedi ence to the demand very properly said that he preferred to refleot upon what he had heard before he gave his vote. This was an allusion to Mr. Phillips’ introductory remarks. KANSAS OFFICIAL VOTE. At the recent election held, in Kansas, on the adoption or rejection of the Constitution, the following is the official result: For the Constitution 10419 Against the Constitution 5,530 For the Homestead Law 8,753 Against the Homestead Law 4,772 THIS DAUNIS6 HECOED, Tbo Black Republicans are ashamed to ac knowledge the Harper's Ferry Insurgents as their brothers; and s ime of them denounce Old Brown and hia dupes in good set terms. At a meeting in New York, the other night, a Mr. Briggs even went so far as to say that he would hang anybody as high as Hamau who should go South and deliberately attempt to incite insurrection. But the Black KepuS licans cannot blot out the damning record of their treasonable utterances— utterances which, in other times and in other lands, would have brought their authors to the gib bet and tbe dungeon. Below, we subjoin a few of the sayings of the many-bued Repub lican Party, omitting those of the crazy men and women who rank ap distinctive Aboli tionists —the Garrisons, the Douglasses, and the Abby Kellys. Read the record : Gen.' James Watson Webb—A Republican leader, said in the Philadelphia Convention : “If we (meaning the Abolitionists) fail there, (at the ballot box) what then! We will drive it (slavery) back sword in hand, and. so help me God ! believing that to be right, I am with them." Horace Greeley, a Republican: — “I have no doubt but the free and 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 ." Mr. Banks, present Republican Governor of Massachusetts: “ I am not one of those men who cry for the perpetuation of the Union, though I am willing , in a certain state of circumstances, to let it slide.” Mr. Burlingame, a Republican Congress- “ When we shall have elected a President, as we will, who will nut b 6 tbe President of a parry, nor of a section, but the Tribune of the people, and after we have exterminated a few more miserable doughfaces from the North, then, if the Slave Senate will not give way, we will grind it. between the upper and nether millstone of our power” . Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois—a leading Republican of the West: “ I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the house to fall, but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or the other. Either tbe oppo nents of slavery will arrest the further spread of ic, and place it where the public mind shall rest hi the belief that the course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push forward till it shall become alike lawful in all the States—old as well as new, North as well as South.” Senator Wilson, Republican, of Massa- chusetts “ Let us remember that more than three millions of bondmen, groaningunder nameless woes, demand that we shall cease to reprove each other, and that we labor for their deliv- erance. “ I tell you here, to night, that theagitation of this question of human slavery will con tinue while the foot of a slave presses the soil of the American Republic. “ We shall change the Supreme Court of the United States, and place men in that Court who believe with its pure and immacu late Chief Justice, John Jay, that our prayers will be impious to Heaven, while we sustain and support human slavery." Benjamin F. Wade, U. S. Senator from Ohio, Republican leader: “ There is really no union now between the Xorth and the South, and he believed that no I two nations upon the earth entertained feel ings nf meward, Republican, in his Rochester speech, said: “ These antagonistic systems are continu ally coming into closer 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 fanati cal agjtators, and therefore ephemeral, mistake the case altogether. It is an irrepressible conflict between opposing and enduring forces, and it means that the United States must and will, sooner or later, become entirely a slaveholding nation, or entirely a free labor nation. Either the cotton and rice fields of South Carolina and the sugar plantations of L"uisiana will ultimately be tilled by free labor, and Charleston and New Orleans be 1 come marts for legitimate merchandize alone, ; or else the rye fields and wheat fields of Mas sachusetts and New York must again be i surrendered by their farmers to slave culture and to the production of slaves, and Boston | and New York become once more markets for trade in the bodies and sonls of men. It is the failure to apprehend this great truth that induces so many unsuccessful attempts at final compromise between the slave and free States, and it is the existence of this great fact that renders all such pretended compromise, when made, vain and ephemeral. Startling as this saying may appear to you, fellow citizens, it is by no means an original or even a modern one.” Joshua R. Giddings, a Republican Con gressman, in a speech, said: “I look forward to the day when there 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 when their fear cometh, yet I will hail it as the of a political millenium.” jjgy We commend the above sayings, of acknowledged Black Republican leaders, to the careful Consideration of the Republican press, and especially to our somewhat excited neighbor of the Lancaster Union. We are sorry to disturb the equanimity of his temper, but the truth must be told, no matter whose toes may be tramped by the caustic operation. A POLITICAL MANIFESTO. An elaborate political pamphlet by Reverdy Johnson, of Baltimore, has recently been published, entitled “Remarks on Popular Sovereignty," as maintained, and denied respectively by Judge Douglas and Attorney General Black. He maintains the following propositions : First—That Congress has no power to pro hibit slavery in unorganized Territories. Second—That Congress has no power to prohibit slavery in the Territories after they have been organized under Territorial Govern ments. Third- That Congress has no power to establish slavery in a Territory ; that slavery is the creature of positive law, and may exist either by statute or custom. Fourth—That if Congress can neither pro hibit nor establish slavery in a Territory, it cannot legislate to protect or regulate it. Fifth—Territorial government can admit, protect or exclude slavery, at any time during its existence. |gy* By the way, is there to be no end to this controversy among these prominent gentlemen about Popular Sovereignty? First we had an elaborate essay from Senator Douglas, next a reply from Attorney General Black, then a rejoinder from Senator Doug las, then a surrejoinder from the Attorney General, and now an elaborate argument from ex-Attorney General Johnson to prove the truth of the above propositions. We think it is about time to quit this useless warfare, as not one person in a thousand will ever think of wading through the apparently intermin able controversy. The following remarks from the Harrisburg Patriot & Union are to the point exactly, and we hope the wholesome advice proffered will be heeded in high quarters: The Fencing Match of the GlantSi Senator Douglas, Attorney General Black and ex-Attorney General Johnson are exhibit ing their skill in dialectic fence. They wield heavy and trenchant weapons, which have been kept bright and sharp by long and constant use, and they are masters in their art. They deal and receive telling blows. They display infinite resources and agility. The spectacle which they afford is viowed with great gratification by a certain number of politicians throughout the land, who enjoy an exhibition of-science and skill upon any important subject; and the stage of the per formers is so - high that the individuals scattered here and there, who take interest in the drama, have had an opportunity to watch the progress of the set to. But the number of spectators is much smaller than might be supposed. We do not know of more than oil individual in Harrisburg, a city of fifteen thousand inhabitants, who has followed the controversy through all the lengthy arguments on either side, and he has done so because, holding peculiar opinions, he has been anxious to teßt them by every new fact and argument. Now, if there is only one person in Harrisburg who follows this long, althoug giant, debate, it is fair to presume that the number of general spectators is exceedingly limited. Indeed, the nation is excited upon more important issues, upon questions whieh involve the very existence of the Republic and the Union. The mob has gained possesssion of a city ; the irrepressible conflict has been inaugurated between the sections. There are matters for thought and action by men and parties which involve our domes tic happiness and our national existence. Treason and lawlessness are rearing their heads, and it seems antiquated and unseason able to be now splitting hairs about the theory of territorial government. Territorial government is anomalous and abstract, and does nut come home to the interest and feeling of the people at this moment. We suggest to these honorable men that they turn their skill, their strength and their formidable blades against the common enemy. They remind us of the venerable senators of Rome, who were engaged in the discussion of who should command the legions in a distant province, when the Gauls were about seizing the cap ital. We hope these present dignitaries will not have their beards pulled while similarly erigagedin a very grave but useless discussion. REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE The Black Republicans of Vermont, at a recent Convention, adopted the following resolution, the perusal nf which we strongly recommend to ou rgood natured neighbor, the Editor of the Lancaster Union. The resolu tion reads as follows: Resolved, That every true Anti Slavery American is imperatively bound to labor “might and main” for the total and imme diate abolition of American slavery, either through the instrumentality, or over the ruins, of the United States Constitution. This is about a faithful translation, into plain language, of Mr. Seward’s “irrepressi ble conflict” doctrine, upon which the Republi cans generally are required to stand. Fight to the death for the negro is their motto ; they doD’t care a tig for the poor white man—not they. Fight for the degraded negro, if it should be over the ruins of the Constitution! IN FULL COMMUNION, The Chicago Democrat, a staunch Republi can paper, in defending Brown and his com panions, exhibits the most perfect contempt for that portion of the Black Republican press that dow back out of the difficulty, in which they find themselves. It says : “ This cry of hunting the party used to alarm us. We used to see its ghosts at nights, but now we care only for principles ; and we are going wherever those principles lead us ; and there is nothing that Old Ossawattomie Brown can do will throw the least spot or blemish upon those principles. * * “ Thanks to Old Ossawattomie Brown for teaching the slavery propagandists, the nulli fiers, the disunionists, the secessionists, the kidnappers, the stealers of negroes from the coast of Africa, the Cuban patriots, and the Walker filibusters,, that ‘ what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.' ” LATE FOREIGN NEWS The America, at Halifax, brings Liverpool dates to Saturday, the 22nd ult. The news is interesting, though not specially impor tant. The departure of the Great Eastern for America bad been postponed indefinitely, and would probably not take place this year. The details of the peace treaty of Zurich show it to be but a mere amplification of the Villafranca agreement. By it the rights of the Grand Dukes are reserved. Spain is dis satisfied with the terms offered by Morocco, and war between those powers is considered imminent. The Sardinian Government had issued a decree for a loan of one hundred million francs. Some interesting experiments have been made with the Atlantic cable.— Affairs upon the Continent are still much dis turbed, and many of the Governments are much embarrassed financially. The price of cotton had advanced an eighth at Liverpool. Breadstuff’s show a declining tendency. The money market was a trifle more stringent. THE EUROPEAN CRISIS The London correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser writes that there is a general expectation that some important political annooncements will come out in the course of a few days, although no conjectures are stated as to their probable purport. The Emperor Napoleon presided at a Cabinet Council held at St. Cloud, on the 14th ult., to which much importance is said to be attached, and the Emperor of Russia is reported to have summoned his ambassadors from Paris, Lon don and Berlin to meet him at Warsaw, on the 15th. At the same time there is intense activity among the diplomatists at Vienna and Turin, and the Pope has started to Castle Gar dolfo to have an interview with the King of Naples. This movement of the Holy Father bodes ill for the Italian cause, and the activity amoDg the various despotic monarchy is also, perhaps, fatally significant. ( CITY AND COUNTY AFFAIRS. The Folt'im Institute Exhibition. —From what we can learn. thl« will be one of the finest and most interesting exhP'iMon* ever held in this State. The Insti- tute, in its awards, will in all cases discriminate Id favor of real merit, that the Judges shall deem justly doe; and the Judges are gentlemen selected from the whole county —some forty or fifty, three for each Class—who are per fectly disinterested, and have a practical knowledge of the articles of which they are appointed to judge. The grades of award are highly creditable to the Mana gers of the Institute. There Is a Grand Premium of Honor offered to the best and most useful article: For a Lady a fine Gold Watch; for a Gentleman an elegant Silver Pitcher. Also, premiums of Silver and Bronze Medals and Certifi- cates of Merit. Lady Exhibitors will receive articles of utility or ornament agreeably to the several grades of value. All Exhibitors have the privilege of depositing their articles free of any entrance fee. The Judges are to meet on Saturday, the 19th inst., at Fulton Hall, to make their awards. The Exhibition will open on Monday, the 21st inst.. The plan of the interior of the building will be most tasteful and convenient. The whole of Fulton Hall Is engaged and will be fitted up. The Gallery of Fine Arts, for which one of the upper saloons Is appropriated, will be so arranged as to exhibit the Paintings in their proper light. The Fencibles’ large Armory will be filled with the finer articles. Every Exhibitor who deposits a fine or novel article should attach a full description of its merit and purpose, to enable the Judges to make a fair decision. President Buchanan, Governor Packer, and a number of the most learned and scientific geentlemen in the country have been honored with Fpecfc! complimentary invitations, and the mrgt of them have already accepted and signified their intention of being present. The Address before the Institute will be delivered by one of the ablest lecturers in the country. It will be a rare treat to the citizens of this city and county. Articles of extreme value and novelty have already been Entered from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Managers are all very active, and making every exertion to complete a worthy and creditable exhibition, and we are pleased to learn that at their meeting, the ot her evening, they were compelled to elect an Assistant Secre tary to make the entries of the various articles already crowding in. Inventors, Manufacturers, ProdQcers, etc., should make their entries as early as possible, so that the rooms can be arranged accordingly, and to the best advantage for ExbP G itors and Depositors, who are allowed to make sales of their articles during the Exhibition, the articles to be delivered to the purchasers at the close thereof. This arrangement is of such a character a« to iuduco every one to exhibit specimens of their and materially add to the credit of the workman. The advantage should therefore not be neglected by iny who desire to show their enter prising spirit in work and business for the benefit of the whole community. This being the First Exhibition of the Fulton Institute, gotten up by men of energy and spirit, aDd on the right principle, it promises to be a grand affair; and as all the net pr coeds are to be distributed in premiums, it is of too much importance to be slighted, but the duty of every good citizen to support and encourage it, whilst the name of the distinguished Fulton should be honored with some contri bution from every citizen of Lancaster County. The admission fees are snch as to create no confasion or impediment. Single tickets, 25 cents. Children, half price. An Exhibitor by paying one dollar is admitted during the entire Exhibition. The Committee of Superintendence are Messrs. Charles M. Howell, .1. Franklin Heigart, S. S. Rathvon, John Herr, J. Augustus Beck Vnd.John F. Heioitsh. Robert H Long, President: William E. Ilcinitsh, Secretary. Letter from Col. Stambaugh. —A letter from Col. Stambauoh, dated Salt Lake. Sept. 30th, 1859, wa6 received last week by his family. Through the kindness of his estimable lady, we are permitted to make the-follow ing extracts, which will be read with much interest. It is a source of great gratification to the Col.’s legion of friends to know that he has arrived wife and sound after his long and perilous journey : “I reached this renowned city, about ]/> past 3 o’clock, ou Monday. 26th instant. Thank God! Oh! how feiwentiy i did I return my thanks to Him for bringing roesafiffy and triumphantly through my long and periloas journey. Our party is all well. Messrs.

In the 47 days I was out, I had only 38 traveling days. In that time I brought a party who had never been on the Plains, with three wagons, two of them heavily loaded, six-mule teams, over a wilderness of eleven hundred and sixty five miles!

I was not expected for ten days. •‘Cannot describe this great city or its people fora few days—have been out but little. Several Mormons have called—all expressing the kindest feelings. Things look well.” The Colonel adds a postscript that he will commence his promised letters for The Intelligencer as 60on a< he gets settled.

A Medical Examination.— Onee when a physician is called in to examine a patient’s condition, he finds that the lungs are half gone, or that destructive lesions have occurred, so as to render a cure, in many cases, impossible. The patient will find that the litile cough, which he thonght bad merely annoyed him betimes, has laid waste a large portion of an organ, whose functions are necessary to human life: we mean the longs. If tho incip ient cough is heeded, and a timely resort is had to medicine, such as Dr. Keyser’s Pectoral Syrup, a real scientific com pound, prepared by a careful physician, known to most of. our readers, the cough will never end in an Inflammatory condition of the lungs and bronchia; but obstruction will be removed; free breathing, health, In the placeot disease, and consumption, for want of a nidus, will never take hold of the constitution.

Jones, son of the late George Jones, a clerk in the Land Office, shot himself at the house of bis mother, on New York avenue. His course of life was characterized by considerable irregularity, which was a cause of great grief to an excellent mother, who frequently remonstrated with him. On Thursday morning she had again been in conversation him in relation to his irregularities, ‘ and concluded her maternal counsels by embracing and kissing him, when he stepped back a few feet, and drawing out a Derringer pistol from his pocket, and pointing it to his head, exolaimed, “ I’ll kill myself,” and discharged the weapon into his forehead, blowing his brains out, and causing instant death. The Delaware Enquirer , at Wilming. ton, is out in favor of Vice President Breckin ridge for President. The Presidency for a Pardon. —The ex travagant offer made for a horse at the battle of Boswortb, has been moee than overdone in the effort for the pardon of Brown. The Presidency is the offer now made to the Executive of Virginia for an unjustifiable exercise of Executive clemency. The effort is not confined to the Black Re publican journals. but, we regret to see, even the New York Journal of Commerce joins the mistaken cry- fur. clemency, and its reasons imply that a living martyr, at “hard work for life ” is less dangerous than a dead martyr — that the penitentiary makes a man more of a felon than the gallows—and that “misguided people ” sympathize more with the forgotten dead than wiih the suffering, hardworking, confined living. To us it appears that John Brown, at hard labor, would be a continual source-of supply for Abolition fanaticism; that his groans would resound from Richmond to Eastport, and from the James river to the St. L iwrence; that every meeting of the Black Republican and Abolition parties would herald forth resolutions for his liberation ; that the stump, in every election, from a Constable to the Presidency, would be redolent with praises of his heroism and curses upon hie imprison ment. Not so with John Brown executed. He has forfeited his life, and though pos sessed of many traits of character that were worthy of a better fate, pity and commisera tion are closed against the murderer of Tur ner and Beckham. Virginia will execute Brown and his asso ciates, and feels herself able to meet all the consequences that may arise from that act.— Richmond Enquirer. + Another Indian Massacre. —fhe latest Salt Liike mail brings the details of another Indian massacre, which occurred 25 miles west of Fort Hill, on Lander’s Cutoff, on the night of the 2d of September, on a party consisting of six men, three women, and ten children, part from Michigan, and part from Buchanan county, lowa. The emigrants were surrounded just as they were about camping, and shot down before they bad time for defence. Some who escaped fell in soon after with a company of dragoons, under command of Lieut. Livingston, who sent a detachment to the massacre. On their arri val they found the dead bodies of five persons on the ground, out of the eight that were musing. The dead were horribly mangled and scalped. One little girl five years old, had both her leg** cut off at the knees ; -her ears were also cut off, and her eyes were dug out from their sockets; and to all appearances the girl, after having her legs cut off, had been compelled to walk on the stumps, for the sole purpose of gratifying the hellish pr. pensi ties of savage barbarity. I The names of the murdered are: Edward Miltimore, Sr., James Miltimore, Jr., Wm. Miltiraore, Mary Ellen Miltimore, and Myron Cline. Brutal Murder in Chester County. —A youDg man, sixteen years of age, was brought to the prison of Chester County, on Thursday last, charged with the murder of a young girl aged nine years, named Susau Emma Kimble, daughter of Larew Kimble, of Lower Oxford, Chester county. On Tuesday afternoon, the little girl was sent on an errand a field, where a boy ot sixteen years, named Reyburn, was plowing. She did not return that night. Early next morning diligent search was instituted, and soon her lifeless body was found in a dam of the Octorarn creek, near by, with her head crushed and mutiliuted with a stone. From the dam, tracks were found leading across the plowed field to the place where young Reyburn had been plowing, where marks of a struggle were plain, and where also a stone was picked up having marks of blood upon it. The foot tracks represented those of Reyburn. He was immediately arrested, but denied all knowledge of the deed, and suggested that it might have been done by two negroes who had crossed the field. But an examination of the ground did not tend to confirm his story, as there were no foot marks found except those leading to the dam from ; the spot where the struggle took place. A | track was made from the field to the dam by ■ the dragging of the body. Considerable excitement prevailed in the neighborhood, but no violence was attempted. It is supposed that he first ravished his victim and then murdered her to conceal his guilt. Threatening and Appealing Letters to Governor Wise.— The Governor of Virginia, whose energetic, patriotic and prudent con duct in regard to the Harper’s Ferry out rage commands universal approval, is in daily receipt of a large number of letters from Abolitionists in various States, threat ening his life, threatening an attempt to rescue Old Brown, and threatening the renewal of like attempts to those of Brown if Gov. Wise does not pardon the miscreant who has just been convicted of his crimes, and who will be put to the death he deserves, as surely as to morrow’s sun rises in heaven. These letters speak of the increasing number of the Abolitionists, of 1 their ability to per form what they threaten, and of the “ mur derous eye” to use the language of one of them, with which they watch the progress of Brown’s trial. They wind up generally with holding out to the Governor great popularity at the North if he will deal leniently with the criminals. From all quarters in the Northern and Western States these letters come, written in every style and penmanship ; but all breathing threats ofrescueorof vengeance, in case Brown and his followers are executed. ► PROCEEDINGS AT CHARLESTOWN. Charlestown, Ya., Nov. 4. There has been a marked abatement in the excitement here to day. The town is, howev er, as full of people as when the excitement was at its height, and strangers are continual ly coming and going. Judge Russell and lady, and Mr. Hoyt who first took up Brown's defence, left here this morning for Boston. Coppee, who was found guilty yesterday, has not yet received his sentence. Shields Green one of the negro prisoners, was put on trial to day. He is defended by Mi*. Sennell. The evidence is closed, and the case will be submitted to morrow to the jury. Copeland is next for trial, and on Monday it is expected that the wounded man Stevens will be brought up. It almost certain that Cook will plead guilty, first submitting a written confession or statement of his connec tion with Brown. His brother in law, Gov. Willard, of Indiana, is still here. AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON Washington, November 5 The Treasury receipts the past week were $1,309,000. The drafts paid amounted to $1,071,000, and the drafts issued to $931,000. The amount subject to draft is $4,865,000. The increase over the amount on hand last week is $358,000. Ex-Governor Lowe is at the National Hotel here. He and other distinguished Maryland ers express confidence that the Legislature v of that State will promptly enact such measures as will hereafter ensure peaceable elections in Baltimore. Reliable letters from Richmond state that under no possible circumstances will Governor Wise commute Brown’s sentence. The President is still undecided about pardoning Captain Holmes, though much pressed by Mr. Evans and a delegation of Maine men. the EDITORS’ BOOK TABLE. BLACKWOOD’S MAGAZINE FOR OCTOBER. Re-publish ed by L. Scott, 54 Gold street, New York. Price. $3 per annum. J. M. Westhaeffer, Agent, 44 North Queen st. It would not be an easy matter to put one’s fioger on a dull number of this famous periodical, and when we an- . Dounce, as we do now, the publication of a new number, the reader may look for at least one paper the perusal of which will be well worth bis while. We have no intention to canvass the different articles in the present issue, which offer the usual variety; but we cannot refrain from calling attention to, and soliciting a careful perusal of, the abstract from Capt. Speke’s Journal in this and the number for September, giving the details of a journey in Central Africa, made by him In conjunction with Lieut. Burton.— Traversing districts before untrodden by the white man, that officer, having entered Africa on the oast coast, worked up to the northward and westward, to the Moun tains of the Moon, and in their vicinity has discovered a vast lake or inland sea, to which he has given the name of Victoria Nyanza, and which there is every reason to believe is the long-songht Fountain of toe Nile. This lake is situated exactly on the Equator; and its position and the formation of the conntry lend mneh probability to the suggestion. We cannot reproduce in this brief notice Capt. Speke’s argument on the subject, bat we mast refer for the details to the number itself. Price of the four Reviews, $8 & year; ‘‘Blackwood” and the four Reviews, $lO.

NATURALIZED CITIZENS The Black Republicans, truly remarks the Boston Post, continually, misrepresent the Democratic 'seutiment toward naturalized citizens, in order to hide their own intolerant conduct. To show the doctrine upon this point maintained by Mr. Bnohanan’a admin istration. we quote again from the offioial letter of Mr. Cass, our Secretary of State, to our minister at Berlin, Prussia. It reads thus : The moment a foreigner becomes natural ized, his allegiance to his native country is Revered forever. He experiences a new po litical birth. A broad and impassible line separates him from his native oountry. He is no more responsible for any thing he may say or do, or omit to say or do, after assuming his new character, than if he had been born in the United States. Should he return to , his native country, he returns as an American citizen, and in no other character. In order to entitle his original government to punish him for an offence, this must have been com mitted whilst he was a subject, and owed allegiance to that government. The offence must have been complete before his expatria tion. It must have been of such a oharaoter that he might have beeu tried and punished for it at the moment of bis departure. A future liability to servp in the army will not be sufficient; bocause before the time oan arrive for such service, he has changed his allegiance, and has become a citizen of the United States. Democrats—read the above—cu]t it out— preserve it—and whenever you hear your op ponents fibbing about the course of the Government in relation to naturalized citizens, repeat it to them. —The Republican papers contin ue to excuse Old Brown's Harper’s Ferry “Kansas work" on the ground that he is “ crazy." They say that he was made so by the murder of his son by the border ruffians in Kansas. But it is well known that Brown was a thief, a robber and a murderer before his son was killed and that he was supported and aided in his murdering and robbing in Kansas by the Black Republicans of New England. The Providence Post speaks from the record when it describes the old villian : “ Crazy." “ The simple truth is, that Brown com menced his career as a villain lung before hia son was killed, and that most of his villainous exploits preceded this event. No man in Kansas doubts or has ever doubted that he is a murderer; and that he is a horse thief might be proved, we think, without seeking fur witnesses now outside the city of Provi dence. He was a notorious highway robber in almost the very beginning of the Kansas difficulties, and never felt under any obliga tion to cunfine his rascalities to that Territo ry. lie made Irequent incursions into Missouri ; and befbwTThe Missourians had dune any thing more than interfere with the Kansas elections, was known throughout his neighborhood as a robber and cutthroat. It was in May, 1855, if we mistake not, that he dragged Allen Wilkinson, a very peacablo pro slavery man, from the sick bed of his wife, and murdered him ; and on the same night, we think, he murdered William Sherman, Jiiines P. Doyle, and a son of the latter, who was a mere boy. It was long after this that he made his electioneering speeches for the Republican party in the States. Did the Republicans get an insane man to electioneer for them ? But, more than this. The mur ders charged against old Brown and his eon were committed seven months before R. P. Brown tens murdered l “ But we are not disappointed. The same organs which applauded and honored this old villian, after he had stained his hands with the blood of Wilkinson, Sherman and the Doyles, will of course find some excuse for his conduct at Harper’s Ferry. Wo are thankful that we do not belong to a party which demands so much of its supporters.” A Female Horse Thief. —The Conneaut ville Courier states that two men were in that village a short time since in pursuit of an Irish woman who had stolen a horse and bug gy from the vicinity of Rochester, N. Y , a week previous. Once they overtook and arrested her, but the same night she escaped t • • r her chamber window, by means of the bed cord, obtained the same horse and buggy trorn the stable, and continued her flight without bonnet, shawl or dress, they having been taken from her room by direction of hor captors. She, however, supplied herself with these articles by borrowing them from a house on her way, while the family were absent.— On Tuesday she lodged near Seagertown, but on Friday no further trace of her had been discovered. The Pittsburg papers .since state that elud ing all pursuit, this female Jack Sheppard, made her way to Mercer county, where she traded the stolen nag for another, and then continued her journey, arriving in Alleghany city in the early part of last week, and put up at Neely's tavern on Federal street, just as any other traveler. She stopped there for some time, representing herself as a resident of Oneida county, N. Y., whose husband had recently died, and that the purport of her visit there was to discover the whereabouts of some relatives, wljjso acquaintance she desired making. After some few days had passed, she consented, at the suggestion of a friend, to sell the horse and buggy, and both were disposed of to Mr. Gerber, a tavern keeper on Ohio street, f.r one hundred dollars, which, of course, was handed over to “ Mrs. Killen,” the name under which our heroine passed.— Shortly after parting with the horse she dis appeared, and while speculation was rife as to what had become of hoi', the Rochester gentleman reached the city in pursuit of the fair widow, accompanied by the party from Mercer county, with whom she had traded his nag f The latter’s horse was hunted up and found in the possession of Mr. Faas, to whom Gerber had sold him, but no traces whatever of the thief could be discovered, and thus far all efforts to ascertain oither her identity or hiding place have proved abortive. This whole adventure is a most singular one, and displays an amount of tact and nerve rarely exhibited by a woman. Murder in Montgomery County. —The Norristown papers give an account of an atrocious and horrible murder that occurred at Bridgeport, on the 25th ult. A boy named John H. Famous, only about eight or nine years of age, went to the house of Benjamin Hagens, a near neighbor of his father's, while the older members of the family were absent. He hero found a loaded gun in one of the rooms with which he -» deliberately Rhot Mr. Engens’ daughter, Mary Elizabeth, aged about eleven years, killing her instantly. The boy upon beingquestioned, said the gun had fallen accidentally and shot her. He subsequently stated that he was mad at her, and had killed her. They had attended school together and had quarreled. The boy had threatened to shoot the girl, and took this occasion to carry out his threat. The coroner's jury charge the death of the girl upon the boy. The young offender been committed to Norristown jail for trial. American Rifled Cannon.—A trial of a rifled six pounder was made on Monday of last week, at Flushing, L. 1., before several military officers of the Mexican Constitutional Government. The firing was extraordinary, and rivals that of the most complex English and Frenob pieces. The gun is a common bronze cannon, five feet long, weighing 580 pounds, and rifled with eight grooves. The target, five bv seven feet, moored ■'at a.mile distance, received six out of eight shots fired after the gun was brought to upon it, five of which were within twenty inches of the bull's eye. This success is attributed to a new construction of projectile, invented by Andrew Hotchkiss, of Connecticut, and said to have been recently much improved. After the target practice, the muzzle of the gun was elevated, and several shots thrown to distances variously estimated between three and four miles. The projections are oblong, weighing nine and three quarter pounds each, and were fired on the long range with fourteen ounces of Dupont's powder.— N. T. Tribune. Richmond, Nov. 4.—Governor Wise has issued a proclamation offering a reward of $5OO each for the arrest of the following named fugitive insurgents :—Owen, Brown, Barclay, Coppee, Merriam and Tidd. I®-The St. John (N. B.) papers notice the earthquake at the eastward. The Globe says it occurred about half-past two o'clock on the morning of the 26th. The rumbling noise was quite distinct, and the honses shook with the vibration. The shook continued about one minute.
