1 Forney on Old Brown. Our attention has been called to HU Sttticlo in a late issue of tho Philadelphia Pitss, written in Col. Forney’s characteristic vigorous and nervous istyle, in which ho clearly fastens upon President Bltmaxak the chief moral responsi bly of tho Harpers Ferry emeuie; who, by his high-handed attempts to force slavery upon a free people, by violence and bloodshed, encour aged Brown and his fanatical confederates to force Freedom upon the South by a resort to the same means. Forney is earnest and em phatic in condemnation of his Kansas policy, ns will be seen by tho following extract from the article referred to. Coming as it does from a Democratic journal, the rebuke is doubly severe “Mr. Buchanan himself is more guilty In a mural sense, for the Work at Harper’s Ferry, than poor old Brown. He was elected to the Presidency on tho basis of ignoring the whole slavery question in the States and in Congress. Ho quickly abandoned his position, and went over, not to tho people of tho South, but to a few Southern extremists, who suddenly con ceived tho brilliant idea that they could so con strue the Federal, Constitution ns to make that compact propria viyore establish and maintain slavery iu nil tho public Territories. Thjs scheme excite;! deep and universal disgust in the minds of the whole country. It gave rise to an impression that tho Executive Govern ment had undertaken to propagate slavery.— Tho decision of the Supreme Court in the Drcd Scott case was so perverted by Mr. Buchanan, iu his first message, ns to cover this project. It was boldly avowed that slavery existed in all the new'States, “by virtue of tho Constitu tion.” This enormous and abominable heresy was followed by an Executive policy so weak, shiftless, and time-serving, as to impair the confidence ot the country in the integrity and capacity of tho President, and convict him of a deliberate attempt to use his constitutional powers to propagate tho institution of slavery, not only in opposition to, but in contempt of, tho people, whose right it is to determine that and every other question of domestic polity.—■ Upon minds like John Brown’s this scheme of the President was destined to exert a powerful influence. In proof of this we need only refer to th,e pervading excitement which followed the public announcement of Mr. Buchanan’s poll-, cy ; to the condition of tho Democratic party, distracted and broken at every point; to the triumph of the Republicans in the free States'; to tho maddened zeal of the Abolitionists; and, finally, to the Harper’s Ferry emeuie, with its fatal and disgraceful incidents, resulting in the conviction! and sentence of Old Brown, about the only honest and brave disciple of the entire Abolition family. Had Mr. Buchanan pursued the course marked out in his election, and in dicated by every sense of patriotism and fair dealing, there would have been no Harper’s Ferry escapade; no capture, by a■ handful of men, of a town of three thousand inhabitants; no arrest of guilty parties; and the Govern ment of A'irginia. might have been spared the intense mortification of vindicating her honor, under circumstances so equivocal and unseemly as those attending this whole affair. Upon Mr. Buchanan rests the chief responsibility of this unfortunate state of things. His is the moral guilt; while the legal Responsibility falls upon a man honest and brave, but too weak to ap preciate either the true nature of his offence or the source of his guilt. . "There arc thousands and tens of thousands of John Browns in this country—tens of thou sands who entertained his opinions, sympa thized with-his projects, and only wanted the courage and integrity to unite themselves with his crim|nal expedition. There are thousands in the North and thousands in the South—men who believe that “the sword of Gideon” should bo wielded to enforce their wild fancies to prop agate and abolish slavery. Mr. Buchanan is j one of these men in every practical sense ; and he is the chief offender of all, because a mis guided people have placed in his hands more weapons of mischief, more power to do harm, than any other. His attempt to carry slavery into the midst of a hostile and local opinion is of the same character as that of John Brown to secure freedom to a people who would have none of it. If it was right in James Buchanan to force slavery upon a free people, it was right in John Brown to force freedom upon the South. Their authority, outside of the law, was pre cisely the same. It is unfortunate that Mr. Buchanan had not possessed the honesty of purpose of poor old Brown. It would have saved the credit of the Administration and probably the life of that crazy and deluded ngi * tator. Particulars of the Execution. ' Charlestown, Deo. 2, 1830, The tragedy is closed. John Brown was ex ecuted this* morning at a quarter past eleven o’clock, in the presence of the military, and a few citiizens in thn distance. Ho exhibited (iis characteristic lirmness throughout, and was on the scaffold about ten minutes. He said noth ing that could bo heard by the press. He ap peared to die easy. Ilis body was taken down at the end of thirty minutes, and conveyed to the jail in a coffin. It will ( be sent to Harper’s Ferry at four o’clock this afternoon, and there delivered to his wife. Brown was conveyed to the scaffold in a fur niture wagon, sitting on his coffin. lie looked around calmly on the scene and the military, and walked with a firm step upon the scaffold.

Now that the lion is dead, so that his voice can no longer alarm tho shivering cowards of the Old Dominion, there is time to take a calm, sensible, retrospective glance at the foots in the matter. We commend a like course of conduct to tho chivalric victors in this mortal fray be tween Slavery and one brave Old Man. We have no faith in nor sympathy with tho schemes of this brave and honest old man for tho destruction of Slavery. To us Stf appears in the light of foolhardiness to attempt tho lib eration of the slaves by force. But with the man—pillaged and outraged by the Agents of Slavery in Kansas; hacked and hewed by the brave chevaliers of Virginia after resistance had ceased; dragged to trial without the delay accorded to the meanest criminal, in spite of wounds, any ono of which would have disabled the best man of his captors; and tried in defi ance of the very laws- under which he was un justly condemned and executed—with this man —tliia victim to tho cruelties of Fear and the shameless' deraagogueism of Gov. Wise, every man must have sympathy. And when the smoke of excitement shall have pass ed away and the sun of reason and common sense returns to Illumine public opinion, John Brown will be assigned a higher placO among men than any ono of the thousands who clam ored for his blood, from Wise down to the ruff ian who dragged tho prisoner Thompson from the arms of a pitying woman, and shot him like a dog. Think of it; Sift tho evidence adduced on the of the old man ; it all goes to estab lish the fact that his sole purpose in going there was to run off slaves, not to excite them to insurrection. Was that a crime worthy of death? We deny it. It certainly is not the right wtfy to got rid of the evil, but it is no more a capital crime than it would be for any Virginian to cross tho lino into this State and run off a yard of cattle. Tho crime is the same under tho Common Law ; for the negro is valued, assessed and sold, under the laws of Virginia, as cattle are valued, assessed and sold under the laws of Pennsylvania; and it does not matter that John Brou'n proposed to fur •nish tho human chattels with means of self-de fence, for every man is entitled to freedom who can defend his claim, if it bo not forfeited by crime, and in this case tho judgment of all good men is, that the chattels are wrongfully detained. It cannot be considered any infrac tion of tho moral law to free the slave in a de cent, peacable way ; and notwithstanding it may transgress an absurd statute of Virginia, with the stern, Puritanic faith held by Brown we do not see how he could be deemed guilty of intentional crime. ' • To hold a man in bonds, and to buy and sell him as a brute; or to take such an-one by the hand and set him free, bidding him maintain his independence at any hazard :—which of these acts seems most in accordance with the Gospel ethics ? This is a plain question. If the latter, then the motives of John Brown were pure, and his act less Criminal than tho daily practice of the 350,000 slaveholders in the South. We commend this question to the quiet consideration of such as habitually strain at the gnat of John Brown’s Invasion, and swallow the camel of Slavery. And yet we hold that any man voluntarily putting himself under the laws of Virginia is legally bound to obey those laws.

Ilcan Young, Esq:, Dear Sin I wish to warn your readers against a certain Dr. in the lower part of this State who advertises game fowls in ibe sporting papers. You may have seen a notice of how he raises bis fowls, in a late number of tho Evening Post, 1 was induced by hUlreprcsentation, to send for three Tartar ohlckcns—a cock ond two hons —for Which I paid him ten dollars. They looked game, and I took a prize of $2 at>the last Brad ford County Fair, for their beauty, &o. 1 had an idea that these fowls were “some," and I took care to feed them on King Phillip corn, ns I did not consider common corn good enough for them in order to make them still more game if; possible. A few days ago a neighbor of mine hearing me brag about my Tartar Rooster!, invited me to bring him along down to his house and he would let me try him on a dunghill cook of the same age. Glad to show the superiority of my Tartar I accepted the invitation, and the other day I took him in a bag to tho scene of battle. I put mine down and ho mado ray heart glad by crowing jubi lantly, when to royi horror and chagrin tho dunghill chicken gayo mine a couple of clips and my Tartar; turned tail and run in among some elder bushes. I went and picked him up and told my neighbor that my chicken was sick, and carried bjm home. I hope your readers won’t be fooled as I was with game fowls. I told my wife about it and she made soup of him next day. 1 1 Sportsman. One of the | humanitarian movements of the times although little known as such, can hard ly be over estimated in its importance upon tho well being of our widely scattered communi ties. The population of the American States is in manyl sections so sparse, that skilful Physicians are hardly available to them.— Vast numbers of our people, are obliged to employ in sickness, such medical relief as they can hear of fi;om each other, or indeed any that they can get from any quarter. Hence arises the great consumption of Patent Medicines among us, greater by far than in any of the old countries* where skilful physicians are ac cessible to all' classes. Unprincipled men have long availed| themselves of this 1 necessity, to palm off their worthless nostrums, until the word has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. One of our leading Chemists in the East, Da. Aver, is pursuing a course which defeats this iniquity, lie brings not only his own but the best skill of our times to boar, for the production of tho best remedies which can be made.| These are supplied to the world, in a convenient form, at .low prices, and the people will no more buy poor medicines instead of good, at the same cost, than they will bran instead, of flour. Tho inevitable consequence of this is, that the vile compounds that flood our country are discarded for those which hon estly accomplish the end in view,—which cure. Do wo over estimate its' importance, in believ ing that this prospect .of supplanting the by word medicines, with those of actual wortlf'aid virtue, is fraught with immense i consequence for good, to the masses of our people.— Ga zette and Chrdnicle, Peru, la. It’s au. Habit.—As an illustration of this fact we heard a good story tho other day, of an eminent railroad man ns well as political man ager. who is rather addicted to profanity on any and all occasions, whether in buying and selling a cargo of grain, or in a convention of railroad managers or political wire-pullers. Our railroad friend in walking down Wall street one day, in company with a venerable add devoted member of tho Board of Brokers —one who kept his large pew in Trinity, at tended tho “stated preachings of the gospel,” regularly, and who, on the whole was religious ly inclined, but not so much that he could not drive a good bargain among the bulls and bears on week day ?, when tho conversation took a heavenward turn. Lecturing our railroad offi cial on the immorality of the habit of swearing —its influence on the young, when coming from one holding so prominent a position bogged of him to try and leave it off. Good-natured, jolly railroad man listened attentively to the good advice, acknowledged its force, meditating, by whistling! along, rubbing his nose, turned to his venerable lecturer 'and said : “Oh, h—l.; You pray a good deal, I swear some; but >ve don't either of us moan any thing.”—Buffalo Republic.
