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.

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.".

Morning the First Baptist Church of Chicago,
Illinois, was in debt 814.000. In forty-five
minutes after the fact was stated. the congre•
gation wiped out 812.500. and were prepared
to cancel the remaining $1,500.; but the pastor
begged them not to do so, as several friends
were unavoidably absent who would not be
pleased if nothing were left for them to do.

These fivo Furnaces are now in full blot and to

time to tim first of July, 1859, as we are inf..rmed,
amounts to the enormous quantity of 765,807 tuns
of Oro; 714,180 tons of Coal ; 387,013 tons of Lime
stone,—and each stack is now consuming at the
r ate of 90,000 tone of coal and ore, and 40 thousand
tons of Limestone per annum.
When we think of the vast amount of employ
moat' necessarily given, directly a^.(l indirectly to
Lehigh and Carbon counties, we are not surprised at
the wealth of these places,—and to this must be add

1856.—0 n Tuesday.evoning, the 25th, tho Opposition
celebrated the recent October victories, by a grand
supper at the Sun Hotel. Nearly 150 persona took
part in the festivities of the occasion. Among some
of the guests were a goodly number of elderly men,
who had nearly all their life-time voted the ticket
labeled "Democratic." 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. OcoAstoBAL.

of the late members for last Weinesday evening,
and no doubt they will also form an lopendent Ri

and an excellent, worthy and competent leader—

have too much grit and self-respect, to carry arms

the Military of the County, and who owes his oleo

fraud—the enrollment of many bogus members far

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.
