DAKE THEY DO IT 1
As a cotemporary truly remarks, this busi
ness or imputing to prominent Republicans
complicity in Old Brown's mad raid at Har
per's Ferry has been carried quite too far to
be allowed to drop where it is. If the charges
made against Messrs. Seward, Hale, Giddings
and others, of having guilty knowledge of
Old Urown's plot to incite a slave insurrec
tion, thus involving them in treason against
the United States, be true, why don't those
who make them have the guilty parties indict
ed, arrested and tried ? If the editors of the
Lecompton papers are honest in what they
eay, and are half as good, peace-loving, law
abiding, Union-saving citizens as they would
have us believe, how can they evade the re
sponsibility of doing so? Gentlemen, we
want to see you "come up to the scratch" in
this matter. Don't dodge behind Gov. Wise
and try to get up a question of jurisdiction and
the duty of surrendering them, for, though
the act you charge on residents of 2sew York,
Ohio or New Hampshire may not be treason
against Virginia, it will be treason against the
United States, and you can indict them in
Washington City or wherever you soe fit, and
your Marshals can arrest and hold them any
where within our National limits. Dare you,
then, indict then), or some of them, and have
your charges sifted to the bottom ? You must
either do it, and prove your allegations true, or
stand before the world as a pack of base and
malignant liars ! This is the position you arc
in. No dodging now. The eyes of the coun
try are upon you ! The people are waiting to
Bee whether you will come up to the work !
Late from Europe. The steamer Ameri
ca, which arrived on the 4th. brought intelli
gence up to the 23d Oct. The departure of
the mammoth steamer Great Eastern for this
country has been postponed indefinitely. It
is now said that the only Powers to be repre
sented in the Congress, beside the great ones,
will be Piedmont, and the Pope and Naples,
tinder certain conditions. The Congress will
probably be held in Brussels. The Prince
Napoleon, after visiting various English cities,
left in his steamer for parts unknown. The
projected French-China expedition would not
leave till the end of the year. It will number
18,000 men. It is said that the Frencli troops
in Cochin China are worn out with fatigue and
disease. They were preparing to abandon
Tourain. It was thought necessary that the
Duchies should be occupied by the French to
prevent civil war breaking out. The Peace
Treaty made at Zurich appears to be merely
an amplification of the Villalranca agreement.
It seems to be as unsatisfactory as was the ba
sis of the cessation of hostilities. Spain is
much dissatisfied with the terms offered by
Morocco, and evinces a disposition to declare
war. Indeed, it is thought that war is immi
nent. The Sardinian Government has issued
a decree for a loan of 100,000.000 francs.
Piedmont is greatly dissatisfied with the Zu
rich Treaty. The Council of Milan has voted
100,000 lrancs toward Garibaldi's subscription
for the purchase of muskets. A revolution in
Palermo is reported, by which 100 rebels were
killed. This lacks confirmation, however.
Two hundred and three lives were lost by the
wreck of a vessel, on the Turkish coast, with
Circassian emigrants on board. Flour is dull.
Increase or the Army-. Since Old John
Brown and his sixteen white men and five ne
groes took the town of Harper's Ferry, and
held it for two days, together with the public
buildings, some of the newspapers suggest the
importance of a large increase of the army,
and call upon the President to make such re
quest in his next message to Congress, in or
der that our forts may bo properly manned
and the peoplo protected. The fears of our
Southern friends on this subject provoke ma
ny a smile among our Northern people, and
we wouldn't be surprised if in less than three
months, when the excitement shall have sub
aided,many a laugh would also be heard on the
other side of Mason & Dixon's line. If any
one should have an increase of the army se
riously at heart, we will advise him to "keep
cool" there is too much patriotism and good
sense among the masses in the North to do
anything less than condemn, and if it is nc
cessiry, to turn out and assist in suppressing
any insurrection which would endanger the
lives or property of citizens of any section, or
the permanency of the government.
At the election in Baltimore on Wednesday
last, an unusual amount of violence, even for
that rowdy-ridden city, was displayed. A vig
orous eflort had been made by the Reformers,
(whoso political cast we don't fully under
stand, but believe they embrace men of all
parties,) to insure a peaceable exercise of the
right of suffrage, but it was unsuccessful.
They were beaten back from the polls in near
ly every ward, and compelled to abandon the
contest. A number of persons were killed
and wounded. Such rowdyism is outrageous
and disgraceful, and the perpetrators, we care
not to what party they belong, should be pun
ished to the utmost extent the law will allow.

THE VIRGINIA. INSTJ2BECTI05.
We last week gave a brief account of the
trial of Old John Brown at Charlestown Va.,
up to the close of the testimony. On Monday,
the Slst, the Court room was densely crowded.
Mr. Griswold made the opening speech for the
defense. He claimed that Brown could not
be guilty of treason,as he had never sworn al
legiance to Virginia. Neither did the evidence
show that he had levied war against the Slate.
He admitted that the prisoner had come there
to run off slaves, and was amenable to the
laws of the State against such an act. As to
conspiracy to incite an insurrection, there
was a difference between running off slaves
and causing an uprising among them. He
was"fol!owed by Mr. Hunter for the prosecu
tion, who closed his argument, and Mr. Chil
ton asked the Court to instruct the Jury, that
if tbey believed Brown was not a citizen of
Virginia, they could not convict him on a
count of treason. The Court declined, and
Mr. C. asked that the Jury should be instruct
ed that they must be satisfied that the offense
was committed within Jefferson County. This
was granted. After a recess, the Jury came
in w ith a verdict of guilty of treason, advising
and conspiring with slaves and others to rebel,
and for murder in the first degree. Mr. Chil
ton moved for an arrest of judgment, both on
account of errors in the indictment and er
rors in the verdict. On Tuesday, the Jury in
the case of Coppie was sworn, and testimony
taken. Cook waived an examination before
the .Magistrate's Court. On the 2d,Irown was
brought into Court, and the Court overruling
the objections made, he was asked whether he
had anything to say why sentence should not
be pronounced, when he remarked :
"I have,may it please the Court.a few words
to say. In the first place, I deny everything
but what I have all along admitted. The de
sign, on my part, was to free the slaves. I
intended certainly to have made a clean thing
of that matter, as I did last winter when I
went into Missouri, and there took the slaves
without the snapping of a gun on either side.
I moved them through the country,and finally
left thern in Canada. I designed to have done
the same thing again on a larger scale. That
was all I intended. I never did intend to
commit murder or treason, or to destroy prop-
perty, or to excite, or to incite the slaves to
rebellion, and to make an insurrection. I
have another oljnction, and that if, k is unjust
I should sutler such a penalty, had 1 interfered
in the manner, and which I admit has been
fairly proved, for I admire the truthfulness
and candor of the greater portion of the wit
nesses who have testified in this case. Had
I so interfered in behalf of the rich, the pow
erful, the intelligent, the so called great, or
in behalf ot their friends, either father, moth
er, brother, sister, wife or children, or any of
that class, and sacrificed what I have in this
interference, it would have been all right.
Everyman in this court would have deemed
it an act worthy of reward rather than punish
ment. This court acknowledges, as I suppose,
the validity of the law of God. I see a book
kissed here which I suppose to be the BibV,
or least the New Testament, that teaches me
that all things whatsoever I would that men
should do to me 1 should do even so to them ;
it teaches me further to remember them that
are in bonds as bound with them. I endeavor
ed to act up to that instruction. I say J am
yet too young to understand that God is any
respector of persons. I believe that to have
interfered as I have done, as I have always
freely admitted I have done in behalf of his
despised poor, was no wrong, but right. Now
if it is deemed necessary that 1 should mingle
my blood further with the blood of my chil
dren and with the blood of millions in tliiscoun
try, whose rights are disiegarded by wicked,
cruel and unjust enactments ; 1 submit ; so let
it be done. Let me say one word, further ; I
feel entirely satisfied with the treatment I have
received on my trial. Considering all the
circumstances, it has been more generous than
I expected, but I- feel no consciousness of
guilt ; I have stated from the first what was
my intention, and was not. I never had any
design against the life of any person, nor any
disposition to commit treason or excite the
slaves to rebel, or make any general insurrec
tion ; I never encouraged any man to do so,
but always discouraged any idea of that kind.
Let me say, also, in regard" to the statements
made by some of those connected with me; I
hear it has been stated by some of them that
I have induced them to join me, but the con
trary is trne. I dont s.iy this to injure them,
but as regretting their weakness; n;t one
joined me but of his own accord, and the
greater part at their own expense ; a number
of them never saw, and never had a word of
conversation with till the day they came to
me, and that was for the purpose I have stated.
Now I have done."
While Blown was sneaking perfect quiet
prevailed. When he had finished, the Court
proceeded to pronounce the sentence, after a
few preliminary remarks, lie said no reason
able doubt could exist as to the prisoner's
guilt. He sentenced him to bo hung, in pub
lic, on Friday the 2d of December. Brown
received the sentence with composure. The
only demonstration made was the clapping of
hands by one man in the crowd, who is not a
resident ot Jefferson Co. This was promptly
suppressed, and much regret was expressed
by citizens at its occurrence.
The verdict in Coppee's case is guilty on all
the counts of the indictment. Shields Green,
one of the negro prisoners, was put on trial
on the 4th. Copeland is next for trial, and on
Monday it is expected that the wounded man
Stevens will be brought up. It is almost cer
tain that Cook will plead guilty, first submit
ting a written confession or statement of his
connection with Brown. His brother-in-law,
Gov. Willard, of Indiana, is still there.
The capture of the arsenal at Harper's Fer
ry was not 'unprecedented' except in the folly
ot the enterprise. On the 4th Dec. 1853, Cap
tain Leonasd, of the U. S. army, had charge
of the United States arsenal at Liberty, Mis
souri. Judge James V. Thompson, of that
State, asked the Captain for permission to see
the arsenal, and while there a party of Misson
rians, numbering more than Brown's tatterde
malion force, surprised the place, took Capt.
L. prisoner, forced open the arsenal, took can
non, guns and powder, and then let Leonard
go. Those arms were used in the attack upon
and burning of Lawrence, Kansas, by the Haw
and order" men. We have yet to hear that
either the State or Federal authority was ex
erted to apprehend and punish the ruffians.
A Southern View of It. The Baltimore
American, after saying that "it is difficult to
decide whether the Harper's Ferry outbreak
should be called a ludicrous tragedy, or a sol
emn farce," thus decidedly condemns the ef
forts of the Democratic journals to make po
litical capital out of it: "It is perfectly idle
to say the least, to turn such an event into po
litical capital. No party would dream of en
dorsing these or similar atrocities; and it is a
poor and unworthy class of tactics that would
seek to fasten the respjnsibility anywhere else
than upon the misguided actors themselves.
Whatever may be the tendency of their avow
ed principles, no organization, worthy of the
name, has ever counseled violent resistance
of the law in the slave territory."
Gerrltt Smith did not, as has been stated,
Tote for Fremont in 1856. He contradicts the
statement over his name in card to th
I tor of tha N. Y. Tribvnt.
PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.
PHFPARED FOR THE "RAFTSMAN'S JOURNAL."
Westmoreland County. Rev.T.L.Keesey,
Minister of the Church of the United Breth
ren in Christ residing in Greensburg, having a
wife and five children, left home on the 19th
of October to fill an appointment for the Rev.
W. 11. Dick, in Altoona,on the following Sab
bath. He also intended to stop on his way,
in Johnstown, several days. On inquiry, it
was ascertained that he had not been at either
place, nor can any trace of his whereabouts
he ascertained. Any information concerning
him will be gladly received by his wife. . . .
Some weeks since. Dr. Hartnr.an, a traveling
Dentistsand Mrs. Bennett,a wjdow lady, whose
father resides near Latroue, lelt for the west,
taking with them the lady's only child, a boy
aged about three years. The family of the
lady is highly respectable, and greatly dis
tressed by her thoughtless and criminal con
duct. It is said that Ilartman has a wile liv
ing. . . . On Saturday morning, 22d ult., Mary
Elizabeth, daughter of Casper Klingensmith,
of Hempfield township, had been out playing
in the snow, and in the absence of its mother,
at the spring house, went into the house to
warm its hands, approached the grate too
close, its clothes took fire, burning it so se
verely, that it died on Saturday night, after
suffering extreme pain. She was nearly five
years of age. . . . Some weeks since, John
Snyder.and James II. Jones, ol Donegal town
ship, w hile out hunting bee trees, came across
a den of rattlesnakes, and killed 32, some of
them measuring 3 feet in length. ... On
Sunday the 30th of Oct., a small child of Mr.
Jeremiah Kimmell, of Hempfiuld township,
was severely scalded by pulling a kettle of
boiling water upon itself. At last accounts it
was not expected to recover. ... A couple
weeks since, two Englishmen, residing near
Irwin's Station, went out hunting, having a
shot-gun between them, which they could rot
discharge, so they conceived the brilliant idea
of putting in a second charge. As this did
not help matters, one of them said he was not
afraid to let the gun be firtd at him, and his
companion taking him at his word, drew the
trigger, when unfortunately the gun went off,
knocking down the holder and discharging
the contents into his friend, and injuring him
severely.
Chester CoiSty. A young man, sixteen
years of age, was brought to the prison of
Chester county, on Thursday week, charged
with the murder of a young girl aged nine
years. The child was found in Octoraro Creek,
in West Nottingham township, with her head
mashed in the most horrible manner. The
young man arrested is a resident of West
Nottingham, and was engaged in ploughing in
an adjent field. Some blood was found on
his clothes which he accounted for by stating
that the plough handle had struck him in the
face, causing his nose to bleed. Ilisnameis
Reyburn. The girl was dragged one hundred
yards to the creek, near the field iu which
Reyburn was working. Reyburn alleges that
he saw two black men on the 2"th near the
place where the murder was committed. The
supposition is that an attempt had been made
to perpetrate a rape upon the body of the
child. The name of the young girl was Susan
Emma Kimble, daughter of Larew Kimble, of
Lower Oxford.
Lawrence County. The Journal is respon
sible for the following : "On Monday night,
Oct. 17, Mr. Biddle, the necromancer and ven
triloquist, gave an exhibition to a mixed audi
ence of gentlemen and ladles, at Ilillsville.
About the close of the entertainment, a gen
eral muss was got up by some rowdies, exhi
biting their skiy in pugilism, which very much
alarmed the more peaceable andgentlo portion
of the audience. After the atlair was over
and the people bad dispersed, a gentleman,
who had lost his pocket-book, was searching
for it, when to his surprise he discovered on
the floor a small infant, dead. It has not been
ascertained from w hence it came. Undoubt
edly it has been lost."
Montgomery County. A boy, eight or nine
years old, at Valley Forge, on the 2oth ult.,
went to a neighbor's house, while the older
members ot the family were absent, and with
a gun deliberately shot down 'a girl about
twelve years ol age, killing ber instantly.
The boy, upon being questioned, first said the
gun had lallen accidentally and shot her. He
subsequently stated that he was mad at her,
and had killed her. They had attended school
together and had quarreled. The boy had
threatened to shoot the girl, and took this oc
casion to carry out his threat. The occur
rence took place in Montgomery county, a
short distance across the Chester county line
from Valley Forge.
Armstrong County. This county has the
honor of discovering what is declared to be a
natural production of soap a soap mine, in
fact. The Kittanning Democrat tells the story
of the finding of the substance "in the sand
pit of Capt. Norton's brickyard," in that place,
twenty-five feet below the surface. The sub
stance, that paper declares, was in the form of
a half crescent,with a length of seven or eight
feet, and a greatest diameter of eight inches
at one end. It was iu consistency like Messrs.
Sawyer's "chemical erasive," and not only
looked but washed like good white soap. The
only thing to bo regretted is that the placer is
already exhausted.
Warren County. The barn ard sheds of
the widow Hall, near Sugar Grove, were burn
ed on the morning of the 18th Oct., together
with their entire contents, hay, grain, two
cows and other stock. . . .Mr. Samuel Hall,
father of Chapin Hall, member of Congress
from this District, died on the 22d, from the
effects of a severe wound received by being
thrown upon a scythe a couple weeks before.
He was 77 years of age. . . . The county jail
is now without inmates, the last prisoners
two men and two women having recently es
caped from the rickety concern.
Centre County. Bears are plenty in the
neighborhood of Buffalo Run, and cornfields
have suffered much In consequence ol their
attacks upon them. ''One of the "varmints"
was killed there re;e ntly by Mr. John G. Rob
ison. . . . The cel'n3ated Miss Kate Dean gave
a concert in BaI.: onte last week. . . . The
public house c-,-r:,nn Bowers, in Burnside
township, was d;j'royed by fire week before

allel with the track and the car striking his
head he was instantly killed.
Crawford County. A German, in a state
of iutoxication, fell from a flat boat,on the 2Gth
ult., near the Meadville aqueduct, and was
drowned. . . . Some of the students of Alle
gheny College turned out on the night of the
2-3th, carried off all the benches in the insti
tution, and made a bonfire of them.
Clarion County. The house of Mr. Paul
Hugus, of Beaver township, was recently des
troyed by firo. The fire originated from a de
fect in the chimney. Some of the household
goods were burnt. No insurance. Loss per
haps six or seven hundred dollars.
Alleghent County On the 4th inst., the
barn of Mr. William Matchett, in Hampden
township, was destroyed by fire, together with
six cows, a number of hogs, his entire crop of

MARYLAND ELECTION.
The Maryland Election has resulted in the
choice of Wru. II. Purnell, American, as Con

anecdotes of the olden time were given, and
seldom anywhere has a more successful re
union taken place. It is proposed to make
the celebraiion annual, all natives of the town
who shall have reached the age of seventy, be

Whilst those having Capt. Cook, one of the
insurrectionists, in charge, were waiting at
Ilagerstown for a carriage to convey him to
Charlestown, as we learn by the Baltimore
Clipper, Geo. Freancr and Wm. Motler, two
Locofoco candidates, questioned him concern
ing his politics, &c. The Captain said politics
had nothing to do with the Harper's Ferry af
fair, and though he had not voted for several
years, he was in politics a Democrat. No fur
ther inquiries were made by those candidates.
On Wednesday the 2d, a party of five pri
soners escaped from the jail at New Castle,
Delaware, by knocking down the keeper. Their
names are, Alexander Robinson, Jos. Hares,
John Hughes, Champion Stiilwcll, and Robt.
McEIheny. Two of the persons named were
under sentence of death, having been convic
ted of rape. Four of the party were re-arrested
in Philadelphia.
A destructive fire is telegraphed from New
Orleans. It extended seven squares. Loss,
S250.000. Sixty dwellings were destroyed.
The firemen could not get water enough. The
fire was the work of an incendiary.
The Rev. Dr. John M. Forbes, whose con

the First degree. Hie above named 'insurrection
caused a great deal of gas to be let off by leading
politicians iind the political press of this great
country, and in fact, tiia majority of the people of

if it had been an Italian strike for Freedom a

bune now more than eighteen years old. and
having over Two Hundred Thousand subscribers,
or constant purchasers, diffused through every
State and Territory of our Union will continue
in essence what it has been theeamestchaaipion
of Liberty, Progress, and whatever will conduce
toour national growth in Virtue, Industry, Knowl
edge, and Prosperity. It will continue to urge
the emancipation not only of the Black laborer
from chnttleisru and legal impotence, but of the
White likewise from Land Monopoly, Intemper
ance. Ignorance, and that dependence on remote
Markets which paralyzes cxetlion by denj'ing to
Toil any adequate and morally certaiu reward.
Believing that the c hief evil of our time is the in
ordinate multiplication and disproportion of Non
Producers, it will continue to war against whatev
er tends to degrade Mauucl Labor or deprive it of
its juit and full recompense. It will inflexibly
commend the policy of winning hither from Eu
rope the Useful Arts, and, wherever they may be
needed, the Artisans as well, for whose produc's
our country is now running recklessly into debt,
while our laborers roam in fruitless que.-t of em
ployment, leaving their children in want of bread,
though the farmer is too often compelled to sell
hiscrops at most inadequate prices In Ehort.while
battling agaiu.-t Eillibusteristu ar.d every other
manifestation of that evil spirit which seeks thro'
the spoliation of other countries that aggrandize
ment which i to be truly attained only through
the due development and cultivation of our inter
nal resources, it will urgently advocate a more ?i
fectivsly dicerinunating Tarilf, the Freedom of the
Public Lands, the construction of a Railroad from
the navigable waters of the Mississippi to those
of the Pacific, and every other measure which
I seems to us calculated to enhance the dignity
or tiie recompense ot Labor and pnmoU the
well-being of Mankind.
1 he : -irrepressible conflict" between Darkness
and Light, Inertia and Progress. Slavery and Free
dom, moves steadily onward. Isolated "acts if fol
ly and madness may for the moment Rive a seem
ing advantage to Wrong; but God still reigns and
the Ages are true to Humanity and Right. The
year lfifiO must witnessa memorable conflict be
tween these irreconcilable antagonists. The ques
tion -'Shall Human Slavery be further strength
ened and diffused by the p jver and under the dag
of the Federal Urrion ?'' is now tj receive a mo
mentous if not conclusive answer. "Land for the
Landless, versus Negroes fur fhe Negroless"' is the
battle-cry of the embodied Millions who, having
just swept Pennsylvania. Ohio and the North-west,
appear in the new Congress, backed by nearly ev
ery Free State, to demand a recognition of every
man's right to cultivate and improve a modicum
of the earths surf ice wherever he has not been
anticipated by the State's cession to another. Free
Homes, and the consecration of the virgin soil of
the Territories to Free Labor wo requirements,
but one policy must largely absorb the attention
of Congress through the ensuing session, as of the
People in the succcdir.g Presidential canvass ;
end. whatever the immediate issue, we cannot
doubt that the ultimate verdict will be in accord
at once with the dictates of impartial Philanthro
py and the inalienable Rights of Man.
Having made arrangements for fuller end more
grajihic reports of the doings of Con-ress. and of
whatever else transpiring at the Federal Metropo
lis shall seem worthy oi" pub'.h; regard, and hav
ing extended both our Foroign and Domestic Cor
respondence and strengthened our Editorial stafl
we believe The Tribune may safely challenge a
comparison with any rival, whether as an expo
nent of principles or as a reliable mirrorof the
passing world. We purpose not to be surpassed
nor anticipated in the collection or presentation
of intelligence, though we eschew that reputation
lor enterprise which is acquired by bribing mes
sengers and clerks in public offices to connive at
the premature publication of treaties or other of
ficial documents. We prize accuracy of statement
quite as highly as promptitude, but cudeavor Jiot
to sacrifice tbo latter while securing the former.
Essentially. The Tribune will be what it has been,
while we shall constantly study to improve its ev
ery feature, and '-make each day a critic on the
last " Tho general verdict of the Press aud the
Puh'ic has nffirincd the success of our past labors,
and those of the future shall be by equal earnest
ness and as-dduity. We ask those who believe
the general influence of our journal to be saluta
ry to aid us in extending that influence through
an increase of our subscriptions.
