The Super's Worm insurrection. Democratic Journals seem generally suppose, that the recent insurrection Harper's Ferry was a perfect God-send their party. Whipped in every norther State save California, and Oregon, in ti. former of which the opposition were devi. dod, and in the latter the majority was the next thing to nothing, there seemed to be left not the ghost of a chance at the Presidential election of 1860. There must be some means to revive their sinking flat tunes Foolishly, as -we think, they hay supposed that these means are to be four. in the late insurrection. A hue and cry it to be raised, and the Republican party is to be held responsible for the acts of John Brown and his associates. By what pro cess; however, is this end to bo accomplish ed ? As yet they have not been able to' show, that a single Republican has counsel led Brown in•his undertaking. that a'single Republican has furnished means for the in surrection, or that he was in any way aided or abetted by Bepublicans. Some Aboli tionists may have assisted and counseled, 0 crrit—Smith—for—instance,- although—even this is doubtful, but Gerrit Smith has oppo sed the Republican party, and voted against their nominees from the presidential election of 1856 to the present day. Opposition to the slavery in the States by persons not res ident in the States is one thing; opposition to the' extension of slavery into the territo ries is another, and quite a different thing.—, The former is Abolitionism; the latter is a doctrine, that has been sanctioned by Wash ington, Jefferson and other patriots of the Revolution, and has been the established policy of the government down to the ad ministration of James K. Polk. Republi 7 cans, and their Journals equally with Dem ocrats condemn the Harper's Ferry Intim+ reotion, and if the party is to be held re sponsible for an attempt, the never counsel led nor aided, and have alw s condemned, it must be by a process of logic, which we cannot, and Democrats only can understand. ' But it is said, the insurrection is a necessa ry fruit of Republican doctrine. This we deny and on the other hand affirm, that it is a necessary fruit of the policy of the Demo cratic party for the last five years. The Democratic party opened the door to the difficulties in Kansas, by making it a prize, for which the North and South might con tend. The Democratic party encouraged the efforts of the Border-Ruffians to make Kansas a slave state. Democratic leaders winked at the robbery, arson and murder, which were deemed necessary in the accom plishment of this object. Outrages were perpetrated, •darker far, than any, which have disgraced the most barbarous age.— dohn Brown, with a large family of sons and daughters, went to Kansas as a quiet citizen, located land, built a sawmill, and only when he became the victim of barbarous inhumanities, was it, that the hitherto dor mant, sturdy, and daring qualities of his na ture, "became known. His property was burned and destroyed, one of his captured sons was made to undergo sufferings, which resulted in insanity and finally in death.— Another am was killed, at the spectacle of whose death a sister became insane. These are unquestioned lacts,'and taking into con sideration the infirmities of human nature, we can say with safety that there are many other men that John Brown, who after suf. foring like him would be driven to the same mad determination of revenge. We con demn his course, but if responsibility is to' rest any where, the Democratic party must bear a fearful share. But the eyes of the people are not to be blinded. The people understand the game of making political capital. We recollect still the reports cir culated before the recent election in this Assembly District in Democratic Journals, and otherwise, that large sums of money were sent by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the purpose of electing Re publican Assemblymen pledged to the repeal of the tonnage tax. The report was known by such, as gave it currency, to bo a black lie. Why was the lie then circulated ? The object was to blind the eyes of the peo ple and to make political capital. The newepaper talk of Democratic Journals about the Harper's Ferry Insurrection has the same object. A SOUTIMMN NEWSPAPER ON TUE IN SURREOTION.—The Baltimore American, after saying that "it is diffloult to decide whether the Harper's Ferry outbreak should be,Called a ludicrous tragedy, or a solemn farce," thus decidedly condemns the efforts ups S g t themselves. Whatever may be the ten dency of their avowed principles, no organ ization, worthy of the name, has ever coun seled violent resistanc~Op the law in tho slava territory." Pennsylvania in Favor of a. Protec tive ff The interests of the great State of Penn sylvania are undeniably on the aide of a pro tective tariff. Iron and coal, her great min eral staples, the one or the other of which is found -imbedded beneath the soil of al most every county within her limits, consti tutinea scource of wealth, richer far tilts' the gold mines of California, and if properly de developed, resulting in far more general good, demand protection. In the ratio that the tariff policy of the government approx imates to the doctrines of the free-traders, in the same ratio will stagnation as an in cubus' weigh down the coal and the iron trade, and our mineral wealth be • Irmitted The _ emocracy of - m. _4ave hold their heads above water at the elections by professing to be better tariff men than the opposition-Polk- f -Dallas-and-the-tariff-of 1842, W9B the cry in the Presidential elec tion of 1844, and a like eheat'has been at, tempted ever since. The people, however, finally detected the imposition. The elec tion of 1858 completely overwhelmed the Democracy, and the result this fall is not a whit more flattering to their future pros pects. What caused the change? It might be partially owing to the difference of the Anti-Lecomptonites with the Administra tion on the territorial question, but a far more potent cause was a deep-felt want with the masses of a protective tariff. The great ohange last fall and this fall, was in coun ties, where the people most needed a pro. teethe tariff. Berko, Lehigh, Carbon, and Schuylkill, and the other coal and iron coun ties of the State were the scenes of the great political revolution. The fact cannot be denied and teaches beyond a peradven ture the duty, not only of the opposition of Pennsylvania, but of the Union. Pernsyl vania lost in 1860, and another term of Blank min-rule will follow the dark and damning administrations of Presidents Pierce and Buchanan. For this the minds of the people of the country aro not yet pre:. pared. _ _ Trial of 'Yoh)) Drawn. The trial of John Brown and associates foe treason, murder and attempt to incite a servile knsurrection, committed at the Har per's Ferry Riot, commenced at Charleston, Virginia on Wednesday last. The prison ers appealed for a continuance of the case, in order to better prepare for trial, and se cure consel of their own selection. The request was refused by the Court. The Court assigned Mesirs. Botta and Green, residents of the State, as Counsel of defend ants. On Friday morning, George W. Hoyt of Boston, arrived and offered himself as a Volunteer counsel. During the, trial, Brown,- owing to his recent wounds, was very weak, and was brought into Court on a cot. On Saturday Mr.' Chilton of Washington city, and _Griswold of Cleaveland,. Ohio, arrived and tendered their services. The Counsel appointed by the Court, the de fendants having intimated, they could not expect juaticii at their hands, by leave of the court withdrew from the case. The tes timony for the Commonwealth and defend ants was closed . on Saturday and the Coun sel for the State addressed the Jury on Sat urday evening. During the trial, several applications wine made for a brief continu ance, but all were resolutely refused by the Court. Captain Cook was caught near Chambersburg and taken to Charlestown.— It is said that at the instance of his brother in-law, Gov. Willard, of Indiana, ho is pre paring a.'full oonfefsion, under the expecta tion of a pardon. Later intelligence informs us that on Monday Brown was found guilty of murder. Reasons have been filed in arrest of judg ment, which were argued yesterday. Meeting of lizeontive Committee.

Oval, issue THE LEHIGH REGISTER, NOVEM:BER 2,1859. Mae !Loofa Mlaction. The following from the Manch Chunk Gazette, . relating to the report eiroula cd_ by Democrats befoie the recent elee tion, that the Repub.icans had received money from the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany, for the purpose of electing their can didates for Assembly with the understand ing that they should vote for t' e 'cal of the tonnage tax, applies so wel Ito our own county, that that we transfer i to our col umns. The lie, we believe, first saw light in the papers of our own county. " Of all•lnean, contemptible creatures in the world tho coward is the meatiest j and of all cowards thorn is none so dcspicaLlo as one who, by dirty, sneaking insinuations, slanders his neighbors. A bold straight out Liar has sows manhood, because be runs the risk of being exposed and shown up. But a liar who Iles by cowardly, sneaking, dodging inuendoes, and not by fair and square lying, is tho moanest of all mean things imaginable. Snob a thing wouldn't be too good to steal his grAndmoth er's shroud. Last weak we called upon Oa Demoorat to make good his assertion, before the election, that the Penn sylvania Railroad Company sent $2OOO Into this dis trict to secure the election of Winterateen and Rust ler. We called upon the conductor or conductors of CM. paper to state who received the money, and from whom, with x . setaithei particulars as might be necessary to make a full and complete exposition of the matter. We tried oar beat to bring the Demo crat to the mark., determined that the public should know who, if any one, received the money; and if the assertion was false, to show up the falsifier., and we shall adhere to this resolution. Somebody is guilty. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company either did or did not send money Into the District as al iced ; if they did, we insist upon having the par ties who received it exposed; if not, than tho public shall know the falsifiers. In answer to our article of last week the Democrat Inn : The Gazette appears to be in great trouble about Patrick Sharkey, and the $2OOO Tonnage Tax Fund. Tho " intelligent" Edward bad better not enquire too particularly into the $2OOO affair, as it might in volve some of his Republican friends into a difficulty from which it would be difficult for them to extri cate themselves, and also place himself in a very awkward position before the public. • - Now we again do inquire very particularly into the $2OOO dollar affair." The Democrat noods have no hpprehension -about "involving some of our Re publican friunds into a difficulty"—wo'll run all the risk. And if nn exposition of the matter should place ourselves "in a very awkwark position before the public," then we, and not the Democrat, must carry the odium. Therefore we say, out-with it— let's have truth, the whole troth, and nothing but the truth. If you know anything about $2OOO, or iy - otlior - sum;sent intifthlT - 1 tliMriet - bytWPonna.' .. It. Co., then speak out—let the public' know it and NAME vex MEN, ts• YOU DARE! If you onn far ten it upon a single individual, do it boldly and above board. If you know of a single, thing even only calculated to create the slightest suspicion that some might have received money frost that or any other Corporation, person or persons abroad, then state what that thing is. You made the unqunlitled -assertion-on-the-eve-of-the-election Now, if you are MEN, and not contemptible sneaks and cowards, back up your , tion ! If it is not a black villain ous LIE, and if you are not base,. confirmed mans, thou give us the Nets. We want no general a lions, no more cowardly insinuations. but wo do want racy& We must know, and will know, and the public will knoifill'a shall know, whether you -told - the - truth - when - you - said - thnt - toonorwas - sont• hers by the P. R. R. Co., or whether ye" are liars and scoundrels. AYRIO we say, lot us have the truth, never mind consequences. Don't bo afraid.— If the assertion is true, you owe it to yourselves, to us, and to the public that you bank it up with proof. If it is false end you are falsifiers, then let the pub lic know it. Speak oat—give Us names an other particulars. If you won't do it, then you will stand convicted of the most eo'vard!y falsehood ever ut tered and published iu Carbon County. Will the Democrat face the music? X'o ! And why not? Simply because he knows that he cannot do it. He, therefore; stands before the public as n convicted FALSIFIER, or, in the langunge of Old Tom Benton, " a Liar and a Dirty Dog.". Pennsylvania Illeetion.-oMcial. . . . .. Opp. Dem.

But, as in the evening of life we seek for that which is gopd and exalting in a moral and Chrietiair sense,-in order to ameliorate arid obliterate from memory the follies and aidirdi ties of youth—so have these, to atone, In a pcilitical souse, for past errors, come forward, before the set ting sun over-shadows their existence, to assist in hurling from power a party, which, while professing to be democratic, has sold itself to a stupendous and unscrupulous propaganda, the success of whosa schemes and machinations would bring ruin to our country and oppression to the people, and bury for ever that glorious and glittering star of hope, to which the oppressed of all nations look forward with to much confidence to lend its moral effect to their ultimate emancipation from oppression and tyranny, and their consequent oxaltance in an educational, ehristian and moral, as well as political potato( view. May they live to see the day and share In the triumph of the opponents of a corrupt and false democracy. The meeting was organized by the appointment of M. Abbott as President, and R. W. Lathed, Secre tary. Speeches were made by Masers. Geepp, Fack enthall, Selfridge, Jones, Dietz, Wcekler and Os borne. Messrs. Reeder and Maxwell, of Easton, bad been Invited, but could not be present. On the same evening, our citizens were again 'start led by an alarm of fire. The alarm was occasioned by the burning of a box filled with paper shavings in the rear of the Telegraph Office, on Main Street. It was soon extinguished without doing a harm or involving any lose. A very,ecrleus accident occurred on the North Pennsylvania Railroad, just below_Sollomille, on Saturday the 22d inst., which resulted in the death of a man named William Hartzell, a farmer living near Sellersville. He had been out buying cattle, and on his way hom was run over by the 5 P. M. down train. The halo was . Bounded repeatedly, but it seems he did not or would not hear it. The supposition is that ho was either intoxicated, or sought death by this meads. The battalion at Hoilertown on Monday the 24th, was well attended. It was composed of Oen. Ilrewn's Brigade. Two companies from Easton were present, our two Bethlehem companies, besides several from the surroundiper country. Mr. L. Beekel, who; I perceive, by a recent num her of the Allentown Democrat, has been guilty of a "pleasure tour" or "amour" with a daughter of one of our citizens, has returned home.

Tag Jsaaens—On the same evening, the Mauch Chunk Jaegera met at their Armory, and also tenant% mouldy resolved to disband. They called a meeting of the late members for last Weinesday evening, and no doubt they will also form an lopendent Ri fle Company. They have I first rate set of men, and an excellent, worthy and competent leader— Captain John Glasser. Like the Cleavers they have too much grit and self-respect, to carry arms under a Brigade) Inspector who is not the choice of the Military of the County, and who owes his oleo iion_to_a_wholesale-and-most barefaced system-of fraud—the enrollment of many bogus members far the simple purpose of outvoting the substantial and active members of real companies.

VISIT TO READING.—The Allentown Brass Band and Allen Rifles, owing to the snow storm, could not vis it Reading, as enticipatcd, on Thursday morning last. By - the afternoon - the - signs of weither were such, that the visitors thought they could safely leavein the afternoon train. Accordingly at four o'clock the Band, accompanied by the Rifle!, and a eitieen corn- Mates, numb. ing about forty, took the evenirg train of the East Pennsylvania Railroad for Reading. reaching the place of destination about half past six. The Rides took up lodgings at Barto's Keystone Rouse, and the Baud and Committee at Ilousum's Hotel. On Friday morning the Rifles went through their various drills in Market Square in front of the Keystone, and afterward. at the invitation of Mr. Frederick Lauer, accompanied by the Band, pro ceeded to Lauer's Artesian well, now boring. The visitors were handsomely enteetained by Mr. Latter at his beer garden and vaults, to whom for kindness shown during the brief stay ti e visitors are deeply grateful. In the afternoon the Rifles with the first Battalion of Berke .county volunteers proceeded to the Fair Grounds. The Berke County Agricultural Society have been singularly unfortunate this season in holding their annual exhibition. The weather at the time first announced for the fair was unfavor able, and the second exhibition during last week was hold under scarcely more favorable oireumstancm— Owing to the unfavorable state of the weather, and the late season, at which the exhibition was held, the attendance was small indeed, compared with what we would have been lead to expect, had the season been moire favorable. The managers of the Society generously resolved, that the slim attendance of vis itors at the fair should not prevent them front award ing the full list of premiums as announced. The exhibition was not such as the wealth and prosperity of Old Berke would have lead one to expect. The disadvantages, however, under which the Society labored this year, were such as few other Sooletiei of the kind have mot The Rides and Band return ed on Friday evening. To the Citisen's Committee all thanks are due for their kind attention. We clip the following notices!' of the Allen Rides and Allentown Brass Band from the following Reading papers : "Tun Amex Mmes.—Yesterday morning the Al.. len Rifles, the corps by the way which gained such a celebrity by their appearance and perfection of drill at the Williamsport Encampment some time since, delighted a large crowd which had assembled on Penn Street, belowSixtb, by their military manoeuvre...-. The entire.ride drill was not only successfully ac complished, but in such a manner that even our beet soldiers wore astonished. Philadelphia, indeed, with all her boasted military perfection, we do not believe can produce one corps equal to the Allen Rides 111 their peculiar tactics. If they can, we would like to see the contest for superiority.
