    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.

THE . TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR.
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.

FROM THE PEOPLE.

Columbia X Roads, Nov. 28,1859.
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
