Henry Clay a Republican. Ilorrace Greeley in a recent address to the R publican- of California, whilst urging a union of the auti-liucbanan for ces in order to accorupli-h more certain ly the defeat of the General Aduiiuiftra tion and its candidates, used the follow ing language: "The Republican party of the Union .tand on the platform of unconditional aud unwavering hostility to the extension of nlavery." Henry Clay said in bis memorable -peeeh on the Cou,prouiie bill, delivered iu tiie U. S. Seuate, Fcbruwury 6th, 1H5U: "I hare said that I never would ote it myself, and I repeat that I never can and never will vote, and no earthly power will ever make me vote to spread slavery o ver territory icltere it does not exist." We presume it would hoek the ner vous sen-ihihty of some person- (once hi professed friends.) to an alarming extent, to ay in their proencc that Mr. Olav war a Republican iu sentiment; but if the above be not the very es-euce of Repub !icanim, we have been laboring under a -ad uiiaapprchcu-ion on thi cuhject, and r. Greeley eeems to have fared no bet ter. It is truely refre.-hing, in" these days of slavish subserviency to the South, to reoal the example of Henry Clay, who, a Southerner aud a slaveholder, dared to speak out the honest sentiments of a heart full of sympathy for the public weal, with a voice ever eloquent, until bu-hed in d-ath. And in regard to the living, it is pleas ant, to, point to the names of Johu Bell, of Tennessee; Ed ward Bates, of Mis-ouri; Kenneth Rayuor, of N Carolina; John M Botts, of Va., and H. Winter Davis, of Md., men on whom, in a measure, at leat, has fallen the mantle of Henry Clay, and who, surrounded by disunion ists. and falsely denominated Abolition ists, still dare maintain the right and ad vocate the principles on which this Gov ernment was originally estahli.-bed, and but for which it would soarcely be worth perpetuating. 65rTbo heirs of Stephen Girard have eutered upon another litigation with the city of Philadelphia wbiah is likely to prove long and costly. They have now Sled a bill in equity, taking ground that the consolidated city has no right to bold in trust the various bequests made by Girard. The Oil Excitement, The oil fever is raging in portions of Western Pennsylvania. Au exchange published in that section says that in Crawford county, and especially in the vicinity of Oil Creek, the fever is epidem io. Eerjbody is more or less affected, and the attention of the peojle is prettj generally directed to the re-ervoirs of wealth that have been di.-covcred, or are siippo.-ed to exist, in that section. Near litusvitlc, a e.reat subterranean reservoir of oil has been tapped, and in another place, ten miles distant, oil is being rais cd from a well, with a small hand-pump, at the rate ot fifteen gallons per bour.- The indication.- of oil at that place are said to be very Gne. It mny he seen ru ing iu many places from the bed of the rier, "and by digging the shore three or four feet below the level of the river, the water in the excavation soon become.- covered with oil. Many of the wells dug tor domotic use contain o much oil as to rentier the water unfit for use, and from some of the well- oil flows continu ally day and niirht.'' Numerous compa uies. are Leinir formed to bore for the oil. anil land- uppo.-ed to cover the reser voirs are in great demand, so it is .-sid Thi di-covery promi-es to revolutionise the oil bu-iness of the country. Profes ;or Silliman has analized the article, and prnounct h ii one of the be-t material? in exi-tence for illuminating vuiuCces. It is al-o said by many to be an excelb nt lubricator. It ha- been tried with sati factory results on bugy axles. When -ubjected to a hih heat, it yields para ffine iu large quantities, and from that material bcautitul white candles are man utactured. It is, besides, "uuequalled as a liniment for man or beast" It af fordo 'Vtt'at relief" iu cases of asthma. Physicians pronounce it valuable as a remedy in scrofula.- d?oea-es. It relieve the nervous or sick headache. It cures con-umpton, and minor diseases "too nu meroui to mention." If all these things are so, great, indeed, is the discovery, and tremendous will be the effect upon the oil market and the physical condition of the world. Whales will no longer be valuable, except for their bones. The manufacture of lard oil will be suspend ed; the value of lard will consequently decline. Pork packers, candle makcrt &c. will make a note of this. Then it will eff-ctually u-e up the coal oil bu-i ness. It is fortuuate for the pork trade that these startling and important an nouncemcnt have been made thus early in the season. If they failed to be warned and prepare for the revolution that is ap proaching, they will have nobody to blame but themselves. The Petroleum or Rok Oil of Pennsylvania, if we can believe the reports, will take possession of the markets. Ten cent per gallon will cover the expense of pumping, bar reling, and tran-portation to New York, where, for the present, it U being refined, and the article, ready for consumption, will be sold at a very low figure, compar ed with other oils. It will illuminate, lubricate, make candles, and cure most diseases from which humanity suffers. There will therefore, be but little use hereafter for the whale, the hog or the .rave digger. Let the world rejoice, and let p--rk packers and doctors take warn ing. The term of Governor Wise terminates on the first Monday of January. Hon. John Letcher will enter upon bis duties as Governor of Viruinia at that time. A gentleman who spoke of having been struck by a lady's beauty was advised to kiss the rod. THE EXECUTION OF JOEN EROWH. The events of la-t Thursday caused a more iuteue excitement than any that have been witnessed in Cbarlc&town. The morning was occupied in the preparation of the field of death, which was marked out with military precision according to the plans ot Gen. Taliaferro, with lines for the tro?pn at tbe distance of 50 yard fiom the spot selected for the gallows, ant distinct positions for the officers of tin day, and the Commonder-in-Cbief. These arrangements were watehed with great public interest, but their attraction ended at once, when at noon, the knowledge that John Browu's wife was expected became general. Mrs. TJrown had arrived at Har per'a Ferry, and was anxious to proceed at once to Charlcstown, but tbe rigors of militrry discipline were not to be relaxed, and it was determined that her progress and arrival should be mado the occasion of tbe most imposing warlike display that could be made. At I o'clock, tweuty five of Capt. Scott's cavalry corps the Black Horse Rangers sui rounded the carriage in which Mrs Browu was to te brought hither, und with much cla-hing of arms aud glittering display, the pro cession departed. Three hours elapsed, during which the curiosity of the popu lace swelled near to bursting. At four o'clock, the return of tbe cavalcade was annouueed, and iu an instant the road to the jail was thronged with hundreds of eager gazers. Ior a brief time the way was obstructed, and tbe carriage and es cort paused before the headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief, while a body ol troops, with much pomp and circumstance made clear tbe way and formed a hollow square reaching from the carriage to the jail. Assoou as all was ready, tbecavalcade passed on, and, through double rows of pointed bayonets and amid thickly-planted pieces of artillery, the grief-strickeu woman found her way to the door beyond which her husband, shackled and fetter ed, awaited her coming. By Captain Moore, who came with her to HarpcrV Ferry, she was led into the presence of Gen. Taliaferro, Sheriff Campbell, Mr. Andrew Hunter, and jailor Avis. Here the dreary dignities of formal reception were continued. For fifteen minutes stiff platitudes befell her. With singularly bad taste the Commander-in Chief as sured ber tbat If she should ever be di? posed to virit Arirjjinia again, he could cordially invite her to Charlestown, where she would receive true Southern hospital ity. Soon after, she was taken aside bj Mrs. Avis and searched. Tbe bolts were then withdrawn, and, accompauied by the jailor, Mrs. Brown went to meet her husband for the last time. A few minutes before her admission. Stephens was removed from Brown's cell, into one adjoining. In the little inter vale that remained, Capt. Mooro entered to apprise Brown that his wife would soon he with him. Before he left, be a-ked Brown to indorse a check which bad been handed to him by a gentleman who had accompanied Mrs Brown from the North, but who had been left at the Ferry. The check read thus. No. 1. Phila'da, 11th Month, 30, 1S59. ($50). The Consolidated Bank. Pay to John Brown, (now of Virgin ia), or order, Fifty (00 100) Dollars. JOHN H. CAYENDER Brown's indorsement, in hi- uual, firm, and bold characters, was as follows: Pay to tbe order of Mary A. Brown. JOHN BROWN. Gcu. Taliaferro, and tbe other gentle man constituting the committee of recep tion, then entered the cell for the purpose of iuformiug Brown that his iuteniew with bis wife must of necessity be short. ' I hope,'' said Brown, " tbat it may be two or three hours." I do not think," said Gen. Taliaferro, " that I can grant so long a time" "Well," answered Brown, "I ask nothing of you, sir; I beg uothing from the State of Virginia. Car ry out your orders, General, that is e uough. I am conteut." The interview wa-, however, alloweJ to la-t four hours. Mrs Browu was led into the cell by the jailor. Her bu-band rose, and, as she entered, received her in his arms. Nb word was spoken; but, if we may be lieve Capt. i vis, their silence was more eloquent than any utterance could have been. For some minutes they stood speeohles- Mrf. Brown re-ting ber head upon her husband's breast, and clasping his neck with her arms. At length they sat down, add spoke; and from Captain Avis, who was tbe only witness of that sorrowful scene, tho following reeoru comes : John Brown spoke first. 11 Wife, I am glad to see you," be said. My dear bu-band, it is a hard fate." "Well, well; cbeer up. We must all bear it iu the best manner we can. I be lieve it is all for the best." "Our poor children; Gold help them." "Those that are dead to this world are angels in another. How are all those still living? Tell them their father died without a single regret for the cour-e he has pursued tbat be is satisfied that he is right in the eyes of God and all just men. ' Mrs. Brown then spoke of their re maining children, and their home. Brown's voice, as ha alluded to tbe be reavements of bi family, was broken with emotion. After a brief pause, Brown said : "Mary, I would like you to get the bo dies of our two boys who were killed at Harper s Ferry, also the bodies of the two Thompsons and after I am dead, place us all together on a wood pile, and set fire to the wood, burn tho flesh, then collect our bones and put them in a large box, then have tbe box carried to our farm in E.-sex oounty and there bury us." Mrs. Brown said, "I really canuot con scut to do this. I hope you will obange your mind on this subject. I do not think permirsicn would be granted to do any such thing. For my sake, think no more of such an idea " ; "Well, well," Brown answered, "do not worry or fret about it, I thought the plan would save considerable expense and was the best." Mrs. Brown thoo spoke of Gerrit Smith, aud asked if her husband bad heard of the affliction that had visited hie Brown answered : "Yes, I have read something about it." "Do you know that be is now in Uti ca 7" said Mrs. Browu. "Yes, I have been so informed; he was a good friend, aud I exceedingly regret his mi-foi tune. How is he, have you heard lrom him lately 7" "Yee, I heard direct from him a few days ago. He was thought improving. '1 am really glad to hear it." Nothing more was said upon this sub ject. Tbe conversation then turned upon matters of business, which Brown dosircu to have arranged nftt r his death. He ave his wile ail the letters and paper which were needed for this purpose, and icud to her tho will which had been druwu up for him by Mr. Hunter: carefully ex plaining every portion o! it. Atter this, Mr. and Mrs. Brown took -upper together. This occupied only a tew miuutes. Brown then touched upon other busiue.-s "flairs, until an ordi r wa reccived from the Commander-in-Chief, saying that the interview mu-t terminate Browu then said: "Mary 1 hope you will always live in Essex county. I hope you will be able to to get all our children to gether, and impress the inculcations ol the right principles to each succeeding generation. I give you all the leters and pifpera which have been sent me sinoe inj arrest. I wish you also to take all my clothes that arc here, and oarry them home. Good by, good by. God bless you!" The bitterness of parting was brief Mrs. Brown was led away with tho ut-mo-t consideration by Capt. Avis, and soon after ti o clock, was ou her way again to Harper's Ferry. Atter his wife's departure Brown wrote until midnight, wbeu he retired. Details of Brow's Executon. Caulestown, Dec. 2. Etening. At au early hour tho town was iu more than usual stir, eveu for the stirting litres that have fallen upon this neighborhood Soou the movements ot the military drew all the citizens of the place and all oth ers who had been able to gain admittance to tbe town to tbe vicinity of the place assigned for the execution. The prisoner was t rouht out of jail ot eleven o'clock. Before leaving be bid adieu to all his fcllew-prirouers, aud wa. very affectionate to all except Cook. lit charged Cook with haviug deceived and misled him iu relation to the support be was to receive from tbe slaves. He said ho was led ty him to believe tbey were rife for insurrection, but be had found that bis representations were false. Cook denied the charge and made bnt utile re ply to Brown. Tbe prisoner (hen told the sheriff he was ready, when his arm were pinioued, and he walked to tbe door, apparently calm and cbcrful. He wore a black slouch hat and the same clothes worn during his trial. As he came out he wa taken under puard of the milita ry. Six companies of infantry and one troop of horse, with Gen. Taliaferro and hi- entire staff were deploying in frout of the jail. At tho door of the jail an open wason, with a pine box in which was a fine oak coffin, was waiting for him. He lookcu arouud and spoke to several persons whom he recognized, and walking down the steps, wa? assisted to enter the wagon, and took his seat ou the box containing his coffin, alonjj with Jailer Avis. lie looked with interest on the Que militan display, but made no remark. The wag ou moved on as soon as he had taken hi seat, flanked with two files of riflemen in close order. Ou reaching the field the military had already full pos-ession and pickets wer -tationed at various points. The citizen were kept back at the point of the bayou et from taking any po-ition except that assigned them nearly a quarter of a mi.e from the scaffold. Thiough tho deter miued persi-tenoc of Dr Rawlins, ol Frank Leslie's paper, the order excluding tbe press was partially re-emded, and the reporters were as.-igned a position near the General's staff. The prisoner walked up tbe steps firm ly, and was the first man on the gallow. Jailer Avis aud Sheriff Campbell stood by bis side, und aft r shaking hands and bid ding an affectionate adieu, thanked them for their kindness. He then put the oap over his face and the rope around his oeck. Mr. Avis then a-ked him to step forward on the trap. He replied, "You mu?t lend mC for I cannot see." The rope'now being adjusted, and the milita ry order given, the soldier'- marched and countermarched, and took their position as if tho enemy was in siht. Nearly ten minutes was tbu occupied, tho prisoner standing meatiwhilo. Mr. Avis inquired if be was not tired. Brown replied, "No; but don't keep me waiting longer than uiicessary." At fifteen minutes past eleven tho trap fell. A slight grasping of the hands aud twitohing of the muicles was visible, and tben all ra quiet. The body was soveral times examined, an4 his pul-e did not cease beating for thirty five minutes. It was then out down and placed in tho coffin, and conveyed under a military escort to the dopot, und there put in a car to bo conveyed to Har per's Ferry by a special train at four o' clock. Tbe wholo arrangements were carried out with u preci-ion and military strictness that wan tuo.-t annoying. The general conviction is everywhere entertained that tbe rumors of intended rescue were altogether an egregious hoax This morning Capt. Brown executed an instrument empowering Sheriff Cutnpboll to administer on all property of his in this State, with direction to pay over tho proceeds of his woapons, if rcoovered, to his widow and children. brown's interview witii uis fellow prisoners. Sheriff Campbell bid the prisoner fare well in bis cell, and Brown returned his thanks to him for bis kiuduoss, aud epoko of Captain Pate as a brave man. He was then conducted to tbe cells of his Jellow prisonors, desiring to take hi leave of them. Entering tbe cell of Copeland and Green, he told them to stand up like men and not betray their frieuds. He handed each a quarter of n dollar, saying he bad no more use lor money, and hav ing said this, he bid tbcm a final farewell. Next he visited Cook and Coppic, who were chained tozc ber. Addressing Cook he remarked, "You have made false state ments " Cook asked, "what do you mean! Brown replied, "Why in stating that I sent you to Harper's Forry." Cook re plied, "Did you not tell iu Pitt-burg to come to Harper's Ferry and -ee if Forbes had made iisclosurcs 7" Capt. Brown. "No sir 1 You know I prote-ted against your coming." To this Cook only respon ded: "Captain Brown, we remember dif ferently." As he said this he dropped his head, and Browu, a- if in contempt, tumid away, and. addressing Coppic, said : "Coppic, you also made false state ments, but I am glad to bear you have contradicted them. Stand up like a man " Brown also handed Coppic a quarter, and then "baking both by the hand, parted with them. The pri-oner was then taken to Ste vens' cell, and kindly interchanged with him a good bye. Stevens said : "Good bye, Captain I know you arc going to a better land." Brown replied : I know I am," and urged Stevens to bear up, and not betray his friends. lie also gave Stevens a quarter, and then took leave of him. He did not vi-it Hazlett, as he al ways persisted in denying any knowledge of him. CATT. BROWN ON HIS WAY TO EXECUTION On hi way to the scaffold, Mr Sadler. the undertaker, remarked to Capt. Brown, "You are a game man. Cantain.' Io which Captain Brown replied : "Yes, was so trained it was one of the lessons of my moth-r; bnt it is hard to part from friends, though newly made.' Then he remarked "This is a beautiful couutry I never had tbe pleasure of seeiuj; it before." On reachiug the field in which the gallows was erected, Brown said : "Why are none but military allowed in the enclo-ure 7 I am sorry the citizens have bceu kept out. As he reaobed tbe gallows he ob-erved Wm.
