- tils the Ilun and Ilyder Ali upon the Car
natic Will be regarded in the great day hon
:ester men in the sight of Gad and man than
those that inaugurated that irtepressible cos!
flict in Virginia. It is no light thing, no
„matter for a mere nine day's wonder, that the
people of Harper's Ferry, in one of the States
of- this confederacy of peaceful States, find
themselves suddenly assailed by desperadoes,
and' that State slum'bering upon a volcano.
The State- that furnished a Commander in-
Chief-for the Revolution, the mother of Pres
idents, one of the oldest rind most faithful,
one that has discharged ell her obligations
One that, had, fought side by side with the
Empire State, has been invaded. :Stealth
ilyonivderously has tha iliepressible copflict
been preparing. • Arius and munitions of war
:taken there tobeplaced in the hands of slaves,
that arson, murder and rape may be commit
" ted. - This matter had been going on for years,
and eminent men were connected with it. It
lA. no sudden act of a. frenzied brain, but
Was known to men throtre e. ret the free Statei.
If Brown was a madman why was he not
denounced ! The secret was well kept till
the storm burst, blood w,aseshed and women
and children ran shrieking for protection.
Then the bloody pike was brandished, fatal
aim Was" taken upon the rifle and the irre
prei4ible conflict was ushered in, not in thee;
ry-only, but in terrible practice. I think that
'the Staie of Virginia bus acted with sufficient
deliberation. There seems to, have been a
fair and deliberate trial. •I have had great
sympathy for the individual sufferers, but the
majesty of the lave must be vindicated. Dow
should we Late-acted if a band of Virginians,
dissatisfied with our banking, or some other
inatieutions, had Made a similar descent upon
us! It is about time- to pause and reflect.
The American people are now called upon to
decide who they will serve—whether they -
will 'support - the constitution in its letter and
spirit,-or permit this demon of destruction to
stalk up and down the land: • To what end
and for what gcked puipose has this contro
versr been raised. if slavery iris an evil to
be warred against why did these States ever
enter into mcompact 1 And if New -York or,
her citizens were going to be imbued with,
-such a wonderful spirit of liberty why was it
not matifested long ago? , No! all at once
the necessities of a political party have de
manded that the-slavers- ynestion should be
pressed into their service simply because eve
rything else has been worn out and run into
threground. (Applause.) Look at this oppo
sition party. They have called themselves
all. manner of names, taking a name and
wearing it out like an - old worn out garment
The old Zsilig name, full - of honored memo
ries, hated longer than any:other." Now re
publican has been brought into service, naiv
ly whitewashed, and.i.f it lasts them through
the next election they will never try it on
again: (Applause.) Opposition is a suitable
name—opposition to the constitution; oppo
sition to thehest iris rests of the country, op
position to the sound financial system, oppo
eleott to good-faith and good feeling between I
the several States. They have oppi,seil every
dernocratie measure, the pprcbase of Louis-
iana, the War of 1812, the - repeal of a high I
tariff. lied their counsels prevailed the Un- !
ion . would _pow have comprised - only the old
thirteen States and their Territories; and yeti
cramped as it would have-been, it would be
too large - for this party, for it would hare
included Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Virginia, Mary land' and Delaware,
in which there is no republican party. (Ap
plause.) The • republican jacket would haVe
bean too . small for that cramped nation.
(Cheers and . laughter.) now,--1 would like
to know, do the republicanparty propose to
exercise the government When they hare no
local habitation nor a name, and when (hie

tO" Grow delivered bi, anti-slavery speech
on Monday evening, characterized, as usual,
by a gross, disreg,ard, of courtesy, decency,
and • truth; alleging among other absurd
falsehoods, first the DemoorMic party were
engaged in carrying on the foreign blare srade,
and were pledged to acquire slave territory
from other countries, by robbery and theft.—
He careful ,cot givea very direct opin
ion of Brown ;Aft called him crazy,eto., and
attempted to set up a full justification of hi,
acts, by rehearsing Kansas yarns. Had he
stated' the truth of Brown's Kansas career, he
would have shown that (as he went to Kansas
solely to fight,)tud not to settle, arld that
when there be became a 'cold blooded mur
derer before harm ever came to him or his),
the late affair was but a continuance of his
bloody schemes, in which be has always,beeri
backed op by Republican arms and money,
from Aid Societies and other soOrce.. We
think that an unequivocal opinion would have
been more satisfactory to all; ',but when be
spoke of Brown as RD "Avenging Angel," and
justified i his bloody stets at great length, he left
the iitipTresSion upon his bearers that be had
tot one word of disapprobation to utter; but
on the contrary wished it to be understood
that Brown did nothing wrong-. He called
BrOWn the "first fruits" of the repeal of the
Missouri- line; thus clearly intimating that it
was to be followed by mbre of the same sort.
We believe that a fair deduction from the
speech, altogether, is that Hon. Galosh& A.
Grow, would-be-Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, fully sympathises with Brown,
and endorses his acts. His mean blackguard
ism aboutsthe cowardice of Virgin* and the
South, is not 'worthy Af notice here. Let him
make that - charge to their faces.
A Bnsv . z COSDUCTOIL—Ao engineer oo the
Peonsyliacia railroad disoovired a small
child sitting in the middle of the track, ahead
of the train, playing, one day last week, and
instantly 'whistled down tueaks and reversed
the engine, but the "momentum 'of the train
was too great to ..sto - p before it reached the
child,. *Erich must have inevitably been
crashed to death but for the brave conduct
'of Daniel McCoy, the conductor; who ran to
'the front of the engine, crawled down on the
cow-catcher, and holding himself with one
band, leaned as far forward as possible, and
u he . approached the child, .with, a sweeping
blow of the, other bind hb threw it off the
track. It was the work of an instant, and
required a steady hand and ceol head to ac
complish it, but he was equal to the esaergen
cg .The was 'somewhat stunned and
bruised by the Operation; bit Wes uotserious
igr Last Monday evening-lifr. Grow ap
plied all the loir epithets hels.sanster of, to
the Susq's ,Conaty_ Democracy because the
latter approve the decision of the Supreme
Court in the bred .Scott case. But according
to bis interpretation , of that 'decision, - the
r court only ruled one point, viz: " thaeiregrimis
are not citizens." Assuming that this inter
pretation is correct„ the- Snag's County De
mocracy are censuredt by Mr. Grow 'because
they deny that tregraks;ire t . he equals of white
men, and 'affirm that the former are not citi
zens in the eye of the federal constitution.
Is tins affirmation supported by history And
a fair censtrnction of our national compact!'
If so, we deserve thanks instead of curses, for
pledging ourselves to, support the decision re
ferred, to. - • -
So far as we are concerned, we have no
hesitation in declaring, that we would not
discriminate against citizens because of Their
religious faith, birth place, or color. - Citizen
ship implies political equality. The big,,,-fat,
odoriferous " nigger," if g. citizen of the Uni
ted States, has - a perfect title :o all th e r i g h ts
and privilegel possessed by his white neighbor.
In this view of the case, (and it is the correct
age) how does Mr. Grow excuse' his zeal for
the * Topeka. Constitution which proposes to
exclude negroes fiom the soil of Kailas for
ever I
We hear much of the Homestead measure,
and the inalienable tight'of mail to "lan d
enough to rear a habitation on;" but are the
I -benefits of this measure, and the enjoyment
of this tight to be guaged by color 1 We
don't admit that policy which! cnits'negroes
citizens, and in the same, breath votes to shut
them out forever_ from the con imon territory
of the Union. This & however, is the policy
to which Mr. Grow is fully committed by the
record.
It is a shame that a inan who has been
honored by the' vOters of the District., with a
seal in Congress for,ten years, should be menu
enough to tell falsehoods to deceive and mis
lead those voters. Yet this shame Mr. Grow
boldly challenges, by repeating -that the Su
preme Court have decided that "negroes bare
no rights which white men are bound to re
spect;". and that the majority of that Court
areslaveliolders. Base lies 'What the Court
did say, is this. _They stated as a matter of
history That more than a century ago, the
American Colonies and the civilized world re
garded negroes as merchandise and there
fore, without sights Which white men were'
bound to respect. And this statement is true:
For proof-of its torrectues we refer to the leg
islative records of the colonies.
Suppose we say that England treated the

Shall it .then be said that we decided the
"first Napoleon to be a barbarian and a
beast 1" Such a charge against us in such
a case would be just as reasonable and truth
ful as the one Mr. Grow prefers against the .
Supreme Court. -For 'such logic there abould
be nothing but contempt. But the majority
of the Supreme Court, are not slaveholders:
Four of the Judges are from free States, and
Chief Justice Taney freed hisslaves years ago.

j rifThe Montrose Republican, ashamed of
its party doctrines, pretends thatl the senti
ments we published recently did riot emanate
from "Republican" sources; but this partial
denial does not alter the facts. Fred Doug
lass and James Redpath are picked out and
called abolitionists. We gave nothing as
coming from Douglass alone; but a resolu
tion passed : at a Fremoni . tneetiog, which be
introduced. If the passage of a resolution at
a Fremont meeting was not a "Republican"
expression of sentiment we would Ilk, to
know what is; and if Douglass is not a "Re
publican" why allow bum to take part in meet
ings of the party I
James Redpath is an authorized correspon
dent of Greeley's Tribune ; and his Kansas
letters, and doctrines are dealt out as guides
to the faithful. To deny that he is a Republi
can, is to deny Republicanism.
That Giddings did utter the infamous sen

has said other things equally fanatical—.

A denial of the correctness of one of the
Tobune quotations, does not dispiova the
; and the incendiary character" of that
sheet is too well known for anyone who de.
'lies to retain a remnant of reputation fur
truth, to attempt to cover up.
That leading members of the "Republican"
party hare uttered sentiments repeatedly,
whieb teach Brown that his Ilarper's Ferry
plot is right, is too well established to admit
of a respectable denial:
Arrr"Slaves do not vote, but their master:
cote for them. The votes•of two men in the
South count as much as the votes of
,five men
id the free States."
We clip the above from the platform of a
fellow called Bates, Who announces bis views
in hopesfof being the nominee of the Repub
lican party for President. The assertion is
not original with him, brit is stolen from an
oft-repeated but fal.rs assertion of the Tremont
party; and Bates is 'simple enough to repeat
it for the purpose of tickling ignorant' fanat
ics on the slavery AitestiOn, and the, Republi
can papers are publishing it as a part of an
"able exposition" of "sound doctrines !" All
well-informed persons know that there is not
a word of truth in the paragraph. As well
might it be Asserted that the abolitionists
here iiil43ntrose vote* for the derides who
live with. them; In taking the census all ne
groes,at the North are counted,: while•three
fifthiof the Southern slaves are counted, and
the apportionment for Congreismen is based
upon this ratio; thus giving. the negro popu

over that of the Routh. At the South, ne

Tiettsou Preached train the Pulpit: .
IC is truly
. driplorable.to see pulpits conse-
Crated to,the preaching of the Gospel dese•
-anted to-IR:411km! diatribes, and clegymen,
gonad - ;trideelake the whole counsels of the.
Ilible,`• to command obedience to tha.sa
4ed'inliactiens of that-divine law, abusing
:their .holycarling.. by fanning the-worst spirit
d/dotnestio discord in the false name of-reli
,gion, and weakening, nay suodering,the bonds
of our nitional Union. We see black coated
and white cravetetl,inposters defiling the al
tars of religion by the most intemperate zeal
in zaliiical strife, and repudiating every obli
gation which patriotism imposes, and iieliher
ately inculcating the foulest treasons. _
These remarks were suggested to our mind
by the perusal of a diacrenrserlelivered in the
Church of the Putitatits, New York, on last
Stieday, by George 11. Cheever, and reported
by the' mostconemendatorY comments by the
Black Republican newspapers. The subject
of the so-ealled sermon . was the Harper's Fer
ry insurrection. and the conviction' of John
8r0,.e. He characterized hint as the "true
Christain," whose "soul would go immedilte
ly to his Father—to God," if he be " hanged
on the gallowe." The Black Republican seems
to be so strong in Reverend Nir.,Chuever that
he forgets the most sacred injutation of the
scriptures, " to Obey rulers," to " resct the
powers that be, to " submit to exeryordinance
of man,". and not to be of the number of
those. who " are not afraid to. speak evil of
dignitaries." Every sane man will' agree with
us when we say the preacher forsook his god
liness, or rather, that his godliness forsook
him-ahem he uttered the following:
" If the men of peace would not apply God's
law 'to the abolition of slavery from the fees
of the earth, in the shape of arguments and.
pungent truths and the maledictions of God.
the men-of war would put iti in the shape of
bulleteand fight it: out, and Ood would let
them."
Such is a portion of the blasphemous ha
rangue with which this anointed traitor insult
ed a Christian community in the commer-.
eras capital of the country.
But more—H. Cheriver's Nionscience," moves
him to curse and malign the Giivernment un
der which he lives and to which he looks for
protection. His "conscience" teaches him
that it is right that he should ask his congre
gation to join him in prayer to the Althighty,
that He may wither and blight almost one
half of our country. His "conscience" tells
him that he ought to preach that- obedience
to the Constitution and the lasva sys
tem of practical atheism," and that " hell
would need no better foundation on which
to stand against heaven," His "conscince'
impels him to style the Government and all
its officers in "oligarchy of pirate,s," if they
execute a law enacted by the representatives
of the people and sanctioned - by the Consti-'
tution; and his "conscience" also urges him
to proclaim from his pulpit on a Sabbath
morning that it was "the business of every
servant of Jesus to understand and to carry
out into all . life" the principles which "Old
Juhu Brown, that aged man," carried out at.
-Harper's Ferrynamely, murdet, Civil war,
arson, robbery, torture, and lustful violence.
In the wildest hour of ... French anarchy,
never were' doctrines preached more repug
nant to , human and law, more subver
sive of alt- Spiritual and temporal we'fare,
more opposed to order and human happiness,
than those .preached by George B. Cleaver.
Every man who desires that the purity,of the
Christian church should'he rnaintained; every
man who wishes to see the church united and
strong for bond works-and influences; and
every man who reverences religion and respects
her faiihful ministers, must connernn and de
nounce the doctines of revolution, bloodshed,
anarchy, and litwless riot whichbe has bad the

. prints,
that Brown, Cook, and others o( the Harper's
Ferry- prtsorierv, should kive been brought to
trial so soon after their capture. This was,
owever in exact obedience to the Virginia
statute on the subject, which enacts that
"when an indictment is found against a person
for felony, he shall, unless good 'ca use be
- shown for a continuance, be arraigned and
tried At, the same term:' .. Thus the law was
strictlysistirsued in these C 3503, No good
cause was shown for a' continuance; indeed

with a large force, has posiini and is
ravaging.the country alone the Rio Or`rinde
from Brownsiille to Rome, and :that he has
defeated a force of one hundred men, under
Captain Tobin,' who marched against him
from Corpus Christi. The news that Browns
ville bad been captured and burned by Cor

Ile Government has ordered 'eight coin

proceed immediately to. Brownsville. This
force, witit---the companies heretofori. sent,
will, we doubt• not, be strong•eifough • to af
