Office-Holders and Ex-Office-Holders.
Tho chief office-holders under tho General
Government in this city and their satellites are
attempting to break tho forco of the rovolu
tionuy uprising of the Democracy of the city
against their dlssstrousffnle, by attributing It
to the disappointment of exrofflco-holders ”
and« offlco-seokeri'J?
All comparisons are said to bo odious.'
Odious as thoy may be, we cannot refrain draw
ing a comparison between thoso self-chosen
official leaders of the party with thoße they
ask the party to treat with .contempt.
First/ ofCHiaiss Brows, ’ex-collector, who
seems to Hare amused their ospoclal Ire. Who
is he ?', A man who, for thirty years, has stood
among the foremost and most eloquent cham
pions of, the Democratic faith and tho Demo
cratic party of this city and State, and of the
Union 1 who has boon successively electod du
ring that period, by the Democracy of tho city
and county, as a member of municipal corpora
tions; to both branches of tho State Logisla- 1
trire, to the Convention to amend tho State
Constitution, twice to the Congress of tho.
United States, time and again as a Democratic
delegate to State Conventions, and chosen
to preside over county and city Democratic
Conventions down to tho very last year. Few,
if any, Democrats, in this city or State, have
written more, spoken more, or done more, or
more eflectually, to sustain the Democratic
party during that long period than ho has done,
or so entirely enjoyed its confidence.
And who are the other ex-office-holders thus
proscribed; Joan Hilleb, ex-postmaster;
Gxonon R. Bebbell, ex-appraiser; Alpbed
Dai, ex-naval agent; Wx. V. McGrath, &c.
Mr! Maura has for twenty years beon an active
and leading member of the party In the county
of Philadelphia, and has enjoyod during that
period many marks of Its appreciation. G.
H. Bebbell has occupied In tho old city a
similar position for nearly tho same period, end
both tho others havo always beon known as
consistent Democrats. Entry one of them,
since they declined office under Mr. Buchanan,
or were removed from office by him, has received
the most substantial proofs of the high character
they enjoy with their Democratic fellow-citizens
by making them their standard-bearers, and by
giving them their rotes. John Miu.uk has boon
elected to Common Connell, and by that body
electod its presiding officer. Capt. Dai was also
elected a member of Common Council twice.
William V. McGkath was elected Receiver of
Taxes Democrats of tho whole city, and
Geo. R. Berbell was tho candidate of the De
mocratic party, at tho election of 1858, for high
sheriff of the city.
Such are tho ex-officers under the Gonoral
Government they havo principally assailed.
Of other ex-office-holders assailed, L. 0. Oas
sim, Esq., Jno. MoCahthi; Esq., Dr. McClin
rooir, and others, there is not one of them who
has not a Democratic record it will be In vain
for any of their calumniators to equal.
But let ns examine tbeso immaculate office
holders and self-appointed leaders, and see
what right they have to sit as inquisitors, day
aftor day and night alter night, in the secret
rooms of the custom honeo, to anathematize
and oxcommunlcato tho ex-office-holders to
whom wo havo referred. Hr. Joseph Bakes,
Collector, ib a very civil gentleman, but
where are his Democratic records? Whore
tho proofs that tho Democratic masses have
given him their approbation 7 He was supe
rintendent of tho motive power ol tho Co
lombia Railroad lor several yoars, an ap
pointment of the Canal Board, through the
instrumentality of Mr. Buohanan, and then,
by hiin, made Collector; but ho was nover
elected by Democratic votes to any office.
Wo'will not ran a comparison between him
and bis predecessor 1
Wo publish in our paper this mom|nga
letter tVom Mr. George R. Berbell, a United
States assistant appraiser under General
Piebce, and appointed a principal appraiser
by Mr. Buohanan. In 1868 Mr.' Bebbell was
the Democratic nomlneo for high sheriff of
this city, but was defeated, as were all the
other nominees ol tho party, through the'pro
scriptive policy of the Administration. Mr.
Berrxu obtained his nomination against the
strenuous efforts of Mr. Bakbb, Mr. Haxh.-
ton, and others of the principal officers of tho
Government In this city, because be openly
expressed his disapproval ol their proscriptive
course, which Independence led ultimately to
his removal from office. His letter oxplalna
Itself; and we, would ask, Who Is this Mr..
John Bako/ton, the chief presiding officer of'
tho Administration'« inquisition” that meet
in the secret recesses of the custom house to
decree the decapitation of offending Demo
crats, or it he its executioner 7 Wliat are his
antecedents that entitle him to such supreme
authority in the party ?
Whore are the records of his Democracy?
To what official stations havo the Democracy
of Philadelphia ever elected him ? Where
was he in tho great battles of the Democracy
in 1866 ? Wo: never heard his name men
tioned ; he never spoke or wrote or
gave a cent towards the election of Hr. Bu
chanan, that we over heard of. Where waa ho
In tho great battle to which wo alluded tho
other day—that of 1860—when tho good and
tree men of Philadelphia met in’ secret to de
vise the best means of resening the Demo
cratic party of tho city and State ontof the
hands of thoso who had seized upon Its or
ganization, and were using it to enforce the
Wilmot Proviso 7 Perhaps Ills lovo for the
organization then; as now, mado him loyal to
the Wilmot Proviso as a part of tho Demo
cratic creed, as be is now to the Black code
agaihßt, tho right of tbo peoplo of the Ter
ritories to govern themselves.
And how did ho get his present position—a
position, the power of which he has abused
from the-day ho received it, as Hr. Bebbeu.’s
letter shows 7 Mr. Buchanan did not know, and
had no thought of Mr. Joun Hamilton. No De
mocrat of tho city of Philadelphia, or any
where else, had a thought of him for any
offico. How, then, did he got it ? Why, our
esteemed fellow-citizen, tho bosom friend
of. .Mr. Buchanan, John G. Bbknneb, was
invited to Washington by Mr. Buchanan, to
aavise with him in making tho Philadelphia
appointments. Hr. Buchanan said to him,
I wish to appoint to one of tho principal offices
in Philadelphia some person who has been act
ing with that branch of tbo party in Philadelphia
who were always opposed to my nomination.
Mr. Bbennek, after a littlo consideration,
named to him Hr. John Hamilton, with
whom, it is but just to add, Mr. Bbenneb had
had very littlo acqnalntanco, and ho intimacy.
Upon this recommendation, and this alone, he
was appointed. What next? J. Glanoi Jones,
knowing how Mr. Hamilton had boon ap
pointed, requested Hr. Bbenneb to speak to
Hr. Hamilton in behalf of a gentleman of Berks
county, as his deputy. This Mr. Bbenneb
proceeded to do on his return to Philadelphia,
when Hr. Hamilton in tho most wrathy man
ner told him ho was not to bo dictated to as to
whom he would appoint Mr. Bbenneb imme
diately left him, and has not, wo think, spoken
to him elnco. . So much for Mr. Hamilton’s
gratitude—so mueli for bis gentlemanly demea
nor—and so much for the manner bo got his
present office, by Ylrjtuo of which ho attempts
to rale and move, the Democratic party, and to
wreak his personal enmity against tho oldest
and best friends of Hr. Buchanan and the De
mocratic party in this city.

JLetter iYom “Occasional*”
(Corrttponddnoe of The Freu.] . m
Washington, Ootober 31,1839.
Within tho last few days the President has boon
called upon by several of his prominent friends in ,
Philadelphia, who have expostulated with him in
roferenoe to bis coarse to the officials in that oity,
and also in regard to the ruinous policy whioh he
ha 4 doomed tt necessary to pursue. One of thee©
gentlemen, long and closely attached to tho prcsl
dent, djd not hesitate to say, a short time ago, that
t( if tho courso which tho Administration has taken
should be persisted in, thoro would bo nothing loft
of the Democratic party in Philadelphia but its
ashos.” It was to be hopod that this admonition
would produoe some effect upon the mind of his
Majesty, and that ho would see that his previous
course must end In nothing but disaster and do*
feat; but tho facts show that a different disposition
animates the President. Mr. Patrick Lafforty,
master carpenter in the navy yard of your city,
closely connected with an old Democratic rurally,
and well known for his steady and consistent sup
port of the party, has fallen into discredit bocauso
be has boon .suspected by tho custom bouse. Mr.
Lafforty was not able to carry his preoinot for the
Administration, prior to tho lato election, and al
though Collector fiakor and Surveyor Hamilton
lost thoir entire ward at the same time, Mr. Laf.
forty has been made a victim, and iu a few days, I
hink you will be called upon to announce bis for
mal removal from the position he has occupied. A
commission has been appointed to examine Morris
Doughty as his successor, and whether It reports
favorably to tho latter or otherwise, Mr. LaSerty
has, no doubt, made up his mind that his decapita
tion has been decided upon.
Collector Bakor will not resign tho reins without
i \ struggle, nor will Mr. District Attorney Van
Dyke—as late events have shown—so easily so
jure them as I h&vo supposed. The President has
letermined that the quarrels between his ©ffics
holdcrs in Philadelphia shall oeaso, and you may
look out for a coup d'etat after tho November pri
mary elections. The oolleetor lias pledged himself
that a delegation shall be olooted to tho State Con
vention from Philadelphia, on Monday noxt,
intirely committed to tho poliey of the Foderal
Administration. It is asserted hero that two of his
brothors are running in two of the wards of your
dty for delegates to the Distriot Conventions, and
he has placed his head in the basket as a guarantee
of his power. Moanwhilo, of courso, Mr. Vaa
Dyke and his friends will bo oxpoolod to work up
>n tho same sido. Tho District Attorney labors
under tho disadvantage in Washington of being an
->ld friend of Mr. Vioe President Breckinridge.
The collector and tho surveyor aro anxious to bo
considered friendly to Gen. Joo Lane, of Oregon*
who happens, at this time, to bo tho favorito with
ho President himself. “ But wo shall sco what w©
hall soo.”
I am beginning to ascertain tbo secret of tho do
hat of tho Demooratio party in Minnesota. Thoro
icvor was a moro gallant fight than that made by
‘he Demooraoy in Minno&ota. General Sbiolds,
the brave Irishman, led tho hosts of the party. Ho
was assisted by tho ablest orators from surround.
Ing States; but Mr. Buoban&n hod managed to
mrrupt and demoralize tho other loaders of tho
party and tho result was an overwhelming
'atastrophe in a Stato whioh ought to have glvon a
largo Democratic majority. The vote of Minnesota
-ires to tho Republicans ono hundred and thirteen
members of the new Houeo of Representatives.
Hon. John B. llaskin reached town this morning.
He has rented tho beautiful mansion formerly oo
iupiod by Judge Douglas, near tho Capitol, and
almost adjoining tbo present residenco of the lat
ter. It is h&ndsomoly located, and will no doubt
be the seat of hospitality and refinement during
the coming session of Congress. Haskin. lam
▼lad to inform you, continues to bo an uncou
juoredand unconquerable “rebel.” I saw him
m the Avenue to-day, looking as bright and fauoy
int bb a boy.
Borne months ago the remark, In this correspond
ence, that there might be somo difficulty in hold
ing the National Convention at Charleston, owing
o the probable early appearance of tho yellow
fever, was denounced as a flagrant attempt on my
part to interfere with the harmony of that body.
What I said then I ropeat now. The Convention
cannot be called at Charleston save at an early pe
riod of the year—abnut thoniddloof April—and
for tho reason originally statod. The meeting of
he National Democratic Committee will be held in
this city on the 7th of Docembcr, and I predict it
will decide According to tho early suggestion of
“Occasional;” and, although it will announce no
reasons for its course, that montionod by inyaeH
trill, no doubt, be the controlling cause.
Note from J* F« Johnston, Esq,
To the Editor of the Press .‘—Tho Pennsylva
nian of last Saturday contained certain editorial
statements respecting me, which were untrue. To
correct them, I sent to tho editor of that paper the
following communication. He has, however, not
only declined to publish it, but he has in his paper
>f to-day so grossly perverted it, that I am com
pelled to request of you room for It 1q The Press :
To the Editor of the Pennsylvanian. —Bir: As
you hove seen fit .to publish certain comments on
my notion qs a Democrat, I consider it equally fit
ting that you should state only the truth, and there
fore I request you to publish this communication,
t. You assert that I wrote the address published
on Saturday last. That is not true. I did not write
it, though I signed and fully approve of it. 2. You
impliedly assert, what in a lato artialo you ex
pressly asserted, that lon one or moro occasions
voted against tho Demooratio ticket; and also that
r advised action against the -regular organization
of the party. Both these assertions are untrue. At
every eleotion I voted tho whole regular Domoora
tlo ticket without a scratch or omission, and I al
ways opposed any and erory organization adverse
to the rogular one whioh you and others supported;
not, indeed, that lagrood with tho Lccompton po
licy, thrust upon tho regular organisation, but be
cause I hoped to see that policy changed by and
within that organization itself. It Is true X signed
the o&Ufortbe Convention of April last. In doing
so I nndei stood Its object to be to protest against
the Leoompton policy and general proioriptivo
courso of tho Administration. To that extent I did,
and would again sustain it, but beyond that I did
not and would not approvo of it. Yon add that I
have boen “among the most aotive supporters of
The Press and its editor.” Had you stated any
speclfiofact, I could have admitted or denied it; as
it is, I can only say that, so faros Mr. Forney has
or may choose to maintain within tho regular or
ganization the. principles of popular sovereignty,
and to oppose the Lecompton policy of the Admin
istration, I have, and do yeteoncur with him. He
nevor asked mo for my support, and that is the
only support I evor gave biro, I wish, indeed, it
wero in my power to give him some bettor support,
for he has manfully stood up for tho principles nna
honest polioy of the Demooratio party, when many
of those who now denounce him abandoned both.
As to your concluding remark, that I have been “in
every respect unfaithful to tho party,” I reply
that I have never abandoned a principle or failed
to support a nominoo of tho party ; indeed, in this
lattor respect I am inclined to think I have boen
rather too faithful. J. F. Johnston.

THE HAItrER’S FERRY INSURRECTION.
CONVICTION OF BBOWNI
Guilty of Treason, Conspiracy & Murder#
MOTION FOR AUUEBT OF JUDGMENT.
CfiAiaBSTOWN, Va., Oot. 31.—Tho court met at
nlno o’olook this morning.
Tho prisoner was brought in, and the trial pro
ceeded without delay. Drown looks hotter than
heretofore, and his health is ovidontly improving.
He laid on tho hed as usual.
The court houso and its appronohos were densely
crowded.
Mr. Griswold opened for the defence, taking up I
the several charges of the Indictment, and replying '
to tho points made in tho opening argument of
the prosecution. Ho alluded to tho peculiar Cir
cumstances surrounding tho mosent oase, and
hoped tho jury would givo it calm and dlsnassion*
uto attention, divesting, as far as possible, thoir
minds from all proiudioo, and disregarding outside
influences. Lot tho prisonor have an Impartial
trial under the laws of Virginia, and let him be
acquitted or convicted, according to thoso laws, and
tho evidence given In tho easo. With regard to
the charge of treason brought against tho prisoner,
Mr. Griswold argued that Brown could not be
guilty of treason, as ho was not a citizen of this
oromonweaHh, and none but a olthou of the
Commonwealth could commit treason. Nover
having sworn allegiance to Virginia, ho could not
be a rebol Agslost her authority. He was also
charged with levying war against the State, but
the evldonoe given did cot support tho charge.
There was tv great difference between levying war
and resisting authority by menwhoarooongregatod
together to perpetrate crime, and have their roles
and regulations—when they aro assailed they
dofend their lives to the utmost, sacrificing their
own and Intending to sacrifice tho lives of others.
But that is resisting, not lowing wnr. He would
not shrlok from tho admission, and the prisoner
bad oponly admitted it, that these men came for*
thopurposoof running away slaves. That was a
orimo undor tho lawßof Virginia, for whioh tbo
prisoner was amenable to punishment to tho extent
of theso laws. In enrrying out that purpose ho
temporarily took possession of tho arsonal, at Har
per’s Ferry. While there, attempts were made to
arrosthim. He (Mr. Griswold) had no complaint
to make about that; but it was in resisting those
attempts that this blood was shod and tho lives
taken, and not in lovying war against the Com
monwealth of Virginia, It was in resisting that
which was claimed to bo the legal authority of
Virginia Booking to arrest thoj»e mon assem
bled In violation of law. Such things have
often happoned. .Tails have been broken open,
and mon taken thonco and executed, in do
flanoo of law, after being aoquittod by a jury
of their countrymen, and the power of the sheriff
trampled under foot. Neither does it constitute
the levying of war if murder ensues, because tbo
commission of the offence of shedding blood may
not have been contemplated. It is said there was
an organized government, A pamphlot is referred
to as evidence of that foot, but it does not neces
sarily follow that tho overthrow of tho Common
wealth of Virginia was contemplated by anything
that appeared In that hook. The most hamWs
organizations in the country have boon creatod with
all the outside forms and machinery of government.
In debating soeiotics governments havo been es
tablished, congresses enacted, resolutions and
laws dismissed, and any onn reading tbe bulletin
of theso associations, and knowing nothing about
thorn, would suppose them miniature governments
organized within tho limits of tho oxisting govern
raont. No matter what names, wlmt officers they
may have, that of itself is not sufficient. Ramis of
robbers or desperadoes have their rules and regu
lations, thoir officers, and prosoribo death as tho
punishmont for a violation of tbeir laws, but that
does not imply that they contemplate tho over
throw of the legitimate Government. It Is only nn
association or government to control themselves in
tho intercourse with each other. Jfe further argued
that tho jury could not find Brown guilty of trea
son unless they find him guilty of associating with
othors to organize a government to subvert and
overthrow the Government of Virginia ; hut if tho
pamphlet proves anything, it sbows 4 that an attempt
was modo to organize a government in oppo
sition to tho Government of the United States,
and not of Virginia, for all tho terms used,
all tho officers appointed, bare reference to
a government like that of tho United States.
But it was vague, uumeaning language, whioh
really proves nothing at nil. However, thcro
was a clauso in it which must he taken, for it wn*
all in evidence. Ho referred to tho dlstlnot and
positive statement that it oontemplnted no over
throw of the State Government, but simply tho
amendment and repeal of obnoxious laws in a con*
stitutlonnl manner. Tho learned attorney who
opened tho case socmed to occupy this ground en
tirely, not even going over the evidenoo wherein
the treason was proved. Ho said tho prisoner was
guilty of giving aid and comfort to tho onemlos of
tho Commonwealth, and that was tho only speoifi
oAtlon ho mado charging the defendant with trea
son. He was surprised to hear that gentleman
bunt forth In such a sublime apostrophe to free
dom, in terms and language, and with action of
such surprising eloquence that no ono need bo told
that ho roceived inspiration in tho land that “urns”
the ashes of Patrick Henry. He alluded also to
his distinguished associate for tho prosecution,
who had brought into his remarks the dishevelled
tresses of the frightened beauty. Ho proooedod to
consider tho charge of conspiring with slaves. Ho
said thore was a manifest distinction between tho
effort to run off slaves, or stoat slaves and conspi*
ring to induce them to rebel. Rebellion and Insur
rection was rising up, not to run away, althongh
freedom might bo tho ultimate object, but rising
up against the masters—against tbe whites—
against the Btate. It contemplates riot, rapino, mur
der,''arson, and nil the crimes whioh follow insurrec
tion, and wore especially servile insurrection. The
question was ns to the object and intention. Has
any man testified aught going to show that Brown,
or any ono with him, said or did one thing to induce
*any slaves to rise In rebellion or. perpetrate any of
fence out of which rebellion grows? The slaves
were taken possession of for a temporary purpose,
■ and placed in tho arsenal. But Colonel Washing*
ton, who knew more about it than any other wit
ness. testified that not a slave took part in the mat
ter except “Phtl,” who, at tho suggestion of tbe
prisoner, atteroptod to drill a port-uolo, and that
was not done for the purposo of insurrection and
rebellion, but for protection. True, they were en
gaged in an unlawful act, but not tho net charged.
They are amenable to punishment, but not as in
; dieted. They are punishablo in somo ways, but not
aa charged. Theirs is not a capital offence. Ho
here proceeded to consider tho count charging mur
der in the first degree. This was aoriiiio involving
premeditated murdor; but ho argued that no such
. malice had been shown. First, lloywood was
killed. How it happened, nobody knows. It was
done in tho dark, whether by accident or iuten
i tion does not appear in the evidence, or by whom.
Perhaps these mon aro guilty of that killing in
somo form, but it is not proved to bo murder in
tho first degree—the rosult of delibor&te, promodi
tntod rnalloe. Ho could only say, as Brown raid
i to him, “ 'Why should wo shoot a negro 7 That
> was not our object. 1 . ’ He did not justify these men
in staying thore and .resisting tho authority of tho
- country, but, he sold, they wero protecting them
l selves from arrest. Guns wore fired In nil dlrec-
Occasional.
lions, and they fired, or intended to lire, only on
armed men. Without excusing that conduotfor
one moment, bo would remark, to refute the idoa of
promeditnted malice, that they had not {ho time for
thought and reflection which the law contemplates.
Not that ho would say thona mon should bo allowed
to sin against tho Commonwealth of Virginia, and
perpetrate these crimes, and go u&whipt of justice,
but ebargo and conviot them according to tho law.
Virginia has laws and institutions sufficient to her
protection. She has thrown over tho lives of her
citirens ovory safeguard sho dooms necessary and
essential; haß made laws nocowary to tho pis.tco
tion of her property, and tbo punishment of those
who deprive thoir owners of it. It is tho boost of
our institutions that no man can bo punished be
yond what tho law roquiros; and if tho lnw is
not severe enough, within tho Logislatnre rests
the proper remedy. Brown know that be
was committing an offence on slnvo property. lie
hos repontodly confessed it, and Is willing to abldo
the consequences. But indiot him for that offonoe,
and don’t convict him of an offonco ho novor
dreamed of committing. Nothing In tbo circum
stances of this case demands suoh a course of pro
cedure. Public safety don’t requiro him to bo
punished contrary to tho luw. if a man of in
domitablo energy and perseverance—if Brown
could be oneaged five months in prosecuting such
an entorpriso, and only gather, throughout tho
Unitod States, twenty-one men, black and wblto,
when thoro was nothing in tho world to opposo
him, how, in Heaven’s uamo, can it bo supposed
that, with him and all his companions struck
down, the South aroused, and everybody on tbo
nlort, watching ontorprisos of this kind, that thoro
is tbo remotest danger that another scheme akin to
his will be started? It was haully necessary to
make these remarks. The duty of this jury is to
bo blind to Ml outside prejudices.
Tb‘e physical couraeo of those who supported
this insurrection has noon highly oomraouded ;
but tho moral oournge i» superior, that wbioh oan
resist prejadfegjud.passion; let simple justice be
meted out to ~(a£ >yrlsonor. Ifo asked no more.
Ho callod on tho jfrrr to preserve the sanctity of
their oaths, their honor untarnished, and the
reputation of tbo Commonwotlth for justice, mag
nanimitv, and chivalry will bo unstained. Mr.
Griswold eloßod by saying, on behalf of hisolient,
that ho bad no oxccpiloD to tnko to a particle of
tho evidence given on trial, but deemed it a won
dor, under the oiroumstnnccfl, that truth should
oven bo as fully developed as it has boon. He
bore honorable testimony, especially to Gapt. Sinn,
who voluntarily came from another Btato for tbo
simple purnoso of doing juetioe.
Mr. Chilton spoke of tho ombarrassment with
which ho undertook the case. Ho intended to do
his duty faithfully, and had come to deal with tho
prisoner, not as Capt. Brown, lender of tUlgfomv,
but simply ns a prieonor under th? charge of vio
lating the law. If that law did-not warrant hi*
conviction, he should endeavor to make thotnppoar
to the jury. .Still, ho would say ho had no sym
pathy with the prisoner His birth/and rosidonoe
until within a few years, had boon in Virginia, in
oonuootion with tholnsiitutionof slavery. Although
now a resident of tho Distriotof Columbia, ho bad
returned to his nativo State to spond the romainder
of his days, and mingle his dust with her soli. No
ether motive operated on Win than disinterested
duty, faithfully. He regretted‘the excitement re
specting this enso. Jle was glad tq hear tho judge
say on Saturday that ho desired to try this onse
precisely like others. *JIe desired, the whole Blate,
and the whole South, desired the trial should be
fair. It had boon fair. Circumstances had inter
rupted Its progrow, counsel were here without pro
per preparation, but indulgence bad boon granted,
and thoy mado no complaint. They should do tho
best they could under tho circumstances, lie
could not complain of tho excltemont; It was natu
ral. He hoped it would not interfere with thocourse
ofjastloe,or cast Retain on thohonoroflheState, The
jury hod sworn they were unbiased. He presumed
they would firmly discharge tboiroatbs In bringing
in a verdict, lie could not understand, from the
opening of tho prosecution, on what ground theso
ohargos against the prisoner wero attempted to be
sustained. Tho Commonwealth attorney indulged
in a strain of abuse of the prisoner, and pronounced
sentence on him without waiting tho verdlot- of
the jury, thus usurping the plaoo of the judge.
There wore threo dlstingt ohargos. First, of trea
son, This was an offonoe at oommou law. The
word is derived from a Fronohword signifying bo.
trayal. Treason means betrayal of trust or confi
dence—the violation of fidelity, or all alieglnnoe to
tho Commonwealth. He maintained that treason
oould not be oommitted against tflo C,
jxoept by tho oill«cu» tuiroof. In
tho whole proof show! thli prisoner),as not a

mittod these act* ns charged ; there was uouroof
that thoy resisted tiny process issuod against them
m violator* uore, under tho authority of tho Com
monwealth. Thoy woro rather guilty of resist
auco to tho Fedora! Government, nnd not the Com
monwealth. He had read oarcfully the prepared
provisional constitution. Horegarded itos rldlcu
lon* nonsense, a chlmorical production. It could
only have been produced by men of unsound
minds. It defines a torritory over which it is in
to operate, nnd says that “wo do establish
tho following provisional government. What is it t
It is uu association or* copartnership; thoy are to
own proiwrty by it, and regulate terms. It did
not contemplate a government, but meroly a volun
tary assoctat on to abolish slavery. It did not
o\en undertake to lovy tuxes, which Is essential to
any government. It docs not appear that thin as
sociation was to bo established in Virginia, or
whore U was to go Into effect. This was not trea
son* ~ H ", 10 adoption of a constitution for tho
establishment of a government f . By no means.
Those parties had a mere imaginary government to
govern themaelvos, and nobody else—just like tho
rules governing a military company or debating
society. Lveu if thoy intended to sot up n govern
ment over o'hers, thov did not do it. There was a
gonoral principle that tho accused ehould hnve tho
benefit of every doubt. In considering evidence
wo must consider tho wholo of it Wo must
take tho declarations of tho prisoner in his own
favor, as wdl as against himself. Now look
at the *WtH nrHolo of this provisional constitu
tion, which expressly declares the foregoing arti
cles shall not .be construed to cncourago tho over
throw of any Btato Gcvernmont or Gcnoral
Government, and look, to no dissolution of tho
Vutou, hut simply amendment and repeal of cer
tain laws. This was in evidonco hoforo the jury,
being submitted by tho prosecution. Again, tho
prisoner Is clmrgoa with conspiring with slaves to
make an imurreotion. No proof had been shown
that the sßvos entered into tho conspiracy, and
unloss thnt was the onso thero was no conspiracy.
Ono party mnnot conspire alone, and each charge
la tolbo cooddorod alone by tho jury. If thoy be
lieve that the cvidenco does not warrant aeon
| vlotion of troason, thoy must consider the charge
|of eotinpi»oy, just if no cbnrgc of treason
| bad been maae. Ono oouut in the indict-
I ment wis not to bo brought into the
j aid of snothor. Ho considered the prisoner
I had a riglt to bo tried ono charge nt a timo, und
entirely d'sQoanected with any other. Tho court
had, however, overruled tho motion on Saturday,
and bcDCi tho importnuco of making this point
clear to'tlo jury, so that limy might not confuse
tho varlmfl olTeueca and the evidence relating to
eaoh. Nfcxt, as to murder. Itwasavorv singu
lar way.of drawing up an indictment. Vivo pri
soner* arc charged with tho murder of four men.
That they night have jointly done it ho could un
derstand, Int that they could severally hnve done
it, he ooull not. Ho declared it was almost im
poJilble f<r the prisoner to make a defence against
such a charge. It was too loose ami vague. By
the laws tf Virginia, thoro was but tho specific
murder. )UDi.<hnblo as a capital crime, and that
was deliberate, premeditated murder.
The prdecutionchnrgo the piisonerwith murder
in the firi degree. but no argued that the evidence
in this cato did not sustain that chnrgo. Tho ori-
Edner’s cfndoot in tho engine house showed no
‘malice, according to tho evidence of Col. Washing
ton and ?r. AlUtodt. However ridiculous bis pro
ject, whtiblt would seem could novor havo tmtored
themWof a sane mnn, ho might still base be
liovcd lo conld carry out that project without
bloodahd. At any rute.no sane man could sup
pose thrf ho exncotod. with n mero bnndful of men,
to accomplish bis ohjcct by force. And it i« but
fair to take his declarations, especially when
coupled with his acts—-that be intended to
shod blood except In self-defence—unli'«3
you shtild boliovo. boyond the slightest doubt,
that tlpso declarations wero untrue, nnd tho
prisonci was actuated by mniico in taking the
liven of those who never did him harm, and
ngainstwhom there wnsnooanso for malice. As
to the Sooting of Iloywood, there was no proof
How hqnethls death, or who killed him. or for what
cause, s unknown, acd, na his colleaguo had re
market, the prisoner had no motlvo to kill negroeg.
The sihnypient conflict resulted in the loss of Hfo;
but th|prl«onor e.ndoivored to avoid that conflict,
for tlWpurposo of saving life, and theroforo could
uolha'o been actuated by mallco, which is no
oossur .to oonatitule murder in tho first dogreo.
Kven ttho prisoner was guilty of murder in tho
fsoonddegroe, or of raanilaughtor, yet that was not
a eapinl crime, ami not tho crime charged in tho
Indiotnent. Ho did not know hut that Brown
was justified in returning fire when fired
upon under roeh circumstances. It was
*, sot of aoif dofenco; and very probably, had
llith more timo been allowed, those men could
haviboen taken Into custody without lo*s of life.
He aarged tho jury to look on this case, as far ns
the lw would allow, with an eyo fnvorablo to tho
prlsncr, and when their verdict should bo returned,
no rotter wbnt it might be, he trusted overv man
in tfo community would acquiesce in it. X’nlc«s
tho aajesty of the law was supported, the flttpolu
tlonof tho Union must soon ensue, and all tho
ovil which would necessarily follow in its train.
M*. Hunter closed tho argument for tho prosecu
tion Ho said ho proponed to urgno this case pre
cisely like any other. He had hoped tho counsel
for he defouco would havo omitted to Introduce
Resort of outside mattor, and, to n groat degree,
ho lad boon gratified. Ono remark ho would nl
lud| to. In the opening spceoh of tho defence this
roatalng, whore ho had been represented ns having
dwvrn a ploturo of tho dishevclfod locks of alarmed
bcuty, hl« friond had done him injostioe in nttri
btfbg to him a design of exciting alarm or dis
tuning tho people unnecessarily. He had cn
dowered tomnrou forward with the solo
pirposo of discharging Ms duty and procuring
j*ticc. He would commend Air. Griswold for the
tethnony he had borno in open court, and now to
Jb made on item of history, that not only havo tho
ivore of a fair trial boon extended to the prisoner,
fat also that, in tho midst of all temptations to the
lontrary, In tho midst of solid roasons, that might
isve been urged why a different courso (I do not
man an irregular courso, but a different legal nnd
cmstitutlonal course) might have been pursued by
tie Governor of Virginia, by declaring martial law
4d administering dram-head justice. That Chief
Xagiatrato had taken tho high eonsorvativo
i*ound which we. as Virginians are justly proud of.

have shown that when a test was put to the power

Commonwealth of Virginia, wo Are sufficient for it,
cot&o when it may, and in whatever form.
lie proceeded to Temove the objections thatmigbt
hsvo boon rnado as to the power of this court to try
'tbs mao. It was hardly necessary to show that
ih?offen/}0 was committed within the county of
Tfffurson, and within the jurisdiction of this court.
There wng a law of Virginia declaring tho bound
•vies of the Commonwealth, making the Potomno
ivor tho boundary between Maryland and Vir
;iuii, and giving either of the States tho power,
•y solemn compact, to execute a criminal prooees
,o'tho farther banks. Thcso matters, which nro
'outflinod in tho oodo of Virginia, it was unneccs
ar? to prove bv witnesses, tho 'jury could rend for
heraaelves. Another law defined tho limits of
«'ffcrson county, ehowiog It embraced tho locality
here theso evonLs occurred, ami giving juris
tcilon to this court. It was bintol, in a pre
toinnrv stago of tbo proceeding**, and an attompt
tw made to argue that tho United fitAtcs held
tdusivo jurisdiction over tho armory grounds ;
U there was not now much stress laid on that
rint, because n«t ono murder out of four lives
then h“d boon committed on the armory ground.
Mr. Hunter took up tho argument respecting
ft«snn, which ho understood to ho, thnt none but
q attache of tho Commonwealth can commit trea
!pj against it. Ho would broadly dony thnt our
j Ritutcn di-fino treason. It is limited to no parties.

Wb regard to malice, the law was, that if a

Tho Court deolinod, saying tho Constitution did
not give rights and immunities nlouo, but also re
sponsibilities.
Mr. Chilton asked another Instruction, to the
effort that tho jury must ho satisfied as to the place
•where the offoneo was committed, within the
boundaries of Jeftoreon county, which tho Court
granted.
THE VERDICT.
GUILTY OF TREASON*. CONSPIRACY, AND
mhrder.
A recess for half an hour was taken, when tho
jury came in with their verdict.
Intense excitement prevailed in tho oourt-room
Brown sat up In his bed while tho verdict wa<
Tendon d.
Tho jury find him guilty of treason, advising
and conspiring with slaves and others to rebel,
an! for murder in the. first degree.
Brown lay down quickly. He said nothing, and
tlmro was no demonstration of any kind.
Mr Chilton moved an arrest of judgment, both
on account of tho errors In tho indictment, and
orrors in tho vordiet. The objection in regard to
tho indictment has boon already stated. The pri
soner has been tried for an offoneo not appearing
on tho record of tho grand jury. Tho verdict
was not on each count separately, but a general
verdict on the whole indictment. Tho prisoner
has also been found guilty of both counts for mar
d«Tof the snino persons. It was manifest ho
could not ho guilty of both.
By ngieomeot, thoso points will bo argued to

Brown was remanded to jail.

The Cincinnati Enquirer gives the following
statement of the resul.'e of the recent Coaventioo
of HnilroaU General ticket agenU:
** The schedule of thrt ugh lares ii about the tame
as that which governed last rammer, beiewone doi
lar less than the price* of last winter, when the
Ure from Cincinnati to New York was $2l. The
rate for this winter will be s2fl, and the same pro
fortunate decrcsFe from the fare of one rear ago
Jo nnd from all other leading points of the Union.
The full schedule will be immediately pabluhed,
and distributed to all the roads cf the country.
Tbo new table nf rates will take effect on the Ist
day of N on mber.
The difficaltTjin arranging ajort tariff between
nil lines, and which kept the Convention w loeg
in session, was in the fact that many cf the repre
sentatives cacao with positive instructions from
tbeir superior officers, and therefore h*d no dis
cretion to abate one jot from the demands of rach
rnils. This course was decidedly autneratb and
illiberal, and we are glad to know that it wa*
adopted by but two or three roads whose repreeen
tatives were in the Convention. Had it been, It
would have been utterly impossible for the agents
to have adopted any equitable schedule for the
winter. ’
Tbo Crnrention adopted a set of resolution? dis
approving of the payment of commissions to run
ners by railroad companies as a virtual reduction
of fare, and agreeing, oa behalf cf the companies
represented, to utterly discountenance the prac
tice. *
Hie Convention adjourned to meet at the Monon
gnbela Jfouse, in Pittsburg, on the second Wedse*-
dayof April, 1860.
The action of the Convention, although not en
tirely satisfactory to all lines, was finally concurred
in by the representatives, and, we believe* was
generally harmonious.
The name of the railroad heretofore known as
the‘‘New Albany and Salem” has been charred
by tho directors to that of the “ Louuville. New
Albany, end Chicago R ailroad. ”
The completion of the Louisville and NasbvfllQ
railroad will bring to Louisville a large amount cf
Southern trarcl, a portion of which, on ita way to
Chicago and other points North, will pass over the
New Albany road. To obtain this, and the more
directly to associate in the public mind the dose
connection of LonisTple with the road, this change
of name bes been made.
