;THE MONTROSE DEMOCRAT. $1.5-0 Per Amnia in Advance. A. J. GERBITSON, Editor MONTROSE. SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY, PA. Thtutiuliay,Tkic..B - 5 1859. jarScAßcit.=-Catal s *Oa' Wood. - at. this of flee. - Will our friends take the hintLaNr The "Old Brown" ißeellng. Curiiisity led us, ,, to attend the meeting on Friday evening last, at -the Baptist Church, in this villisge, at which Rev. A. 1,. Post was advertised to lecture en " Old 'John Browsi.'' The attendance was pretty large in spite - of the storm. The address 'watt written out, na was a studied and elaborate l attempt to prove that Brown was an entirely innocent man, and that he died a mattyr iii si just cause, hut that his present defeit was, like the defeats at Lexing ingion, Concord, and Bunker Bill, but the introdtiction of a strife that should not lend until victory perched upon f tlii banner of the sebellious flirty. After the sddress was con cluded, P. - B. Chandler moved that copies be presented to the Editor* for publication. John F 'Deans -made a closing prayer. Horace Brewster moved that money be col lected for Browo*v family ; *Licb was done by Idr. William Nelson, a colored man, who, we learn', somntiroes does tho preaching for one of the colored churches, end's little boy. Some spouting a-is done by Deans and Simmer: The former. ate usual, by his droll acts kept up considerable laughter; the latter botched a few quotations, and ventured some grave predictions,- among otisere bispeaking future'. execrations (curses), for any editor who should disapprove their insane ravings. If he irn -agines himself . a Prophet, hi-rilay yet realize `that others than , Brown are liable to be thought." crazy;" and if he dreams of bully`- • jog the Press into as endorsement of, or Bi lenee in regard to, such-infamous doctrines as. be on that occasion united in promulgating, he will find that be is redly mistaken. "Ty r Asia skati tremlAd';" and we sincerely believe that those tyrinis of the pulpit who are tesching . -doctrines - subversiee alike of the civil gocernmettt the peace of society, and the-Cltrithiso Church, shall be among the ones Wear and treMble and " call on the rocks and Mountains to corer them,",, The, question -is asked; Will the Republi cans endorse thospeenh'of -Post! Some of the more moderate ones may not fully do so, but they were present at the delivery to endorse ii by their contributions„ and by applauding several of the most violent expressions made during ilia evening. When we hear of any di-approval of it,' we will make ti , note of it. If- thd masses in the county are not n taughtljtatit is sound dottline. it. will be - no fault..of the managers hete. .We will ptiblish the infamous thing next week, so tbat our readers triay see what doctrines are advocated by the, opposition. A review of it then will.- be more . apia*priate than .now. If any man whobelietes itr its doctrines hesi tates a moment about aiding to raise an army to at once utterly "wipeout-" the South, he . 1 l io ns, tcrora rerree ttral the - Mrketies are buts minority; bad they the power no abolition king might be looked for, the foot etabose throne would be washed with rivets of blood. , f ar In addi ion to the meeting on Fuiday eve, the bells of the Court "lowa, the Presby terian and ,Baptist Chrirelies in Istonttose were tolled on Sunday morning on account of John. Brown. The design of waiting until Sunday to toil the bells writ, td be certain that his was - dead, and to . rnake . the mster more notable. The Court House bell was made to strike the fire alarm, and • Aremen came rushing, out for duty. If not intended as a .fire alarm, it certainly shows the incendiary spirit of tbeperpetrators. Such vile exhild ., tions of mad fanatiei.m deserves, and man meet..the indignant rebuke of the sober winded poitiou of community. Brown Obs!quiCit.

Si: companies of infantry. a rifle company, a company of bode, and the General and his staff, (numbering 25 officers.) beaded Ilia pro ce;sion and marched towards the place of ex ecution. Brown was accompanied by no minister, and desired no religious ceremonies either. in tiof jail or on the scaffold.
