Tlie 1'eople's Party.
It is profoundly gratifying to every
true friend of Law and Order, of the Con
stitution and the Union, to witness the
proud position which the People's Party
of Pennsylvania occupies at this day.
Twice has vietory perched upon its ban
ners ; twice has it vanquished the false
Democracy ; and now it stands forth in
all its magnificence, firm, united, power
ful, determined the hope of the toiling
masses. May the brilliant triumph thro
which it has just passed only nerve it for
the future ! May the hopes which now
cluster round its standard not Lc disap
pointed ! May it go on in tho Right,
conquering and to conquer, redeeming and
to redeem, until the happy day shall
dawn when every department of our State
Government shall be wrested from the
iais-rule of Loco-Foeoism !
But they are not Pennsylvanians alone
that rejoice over our recent victory. The
People of other States share deeply in the
fame feeling. The result of the second
Tuesday of October in the "Old Keystone"
has scut a thrill of pleasure through the
hearts of patriots in every section of our
glorious Confederacy. Tho news of our
Miccess has gone forth, and everywhere
will its influence be felt. Pennsylvania is
a great State, a ruling State, in our Na
tional Politics, and she is now placed in
a proper position to engage in the Presi
dential canvass of 1',0. She lias, by two
overwhelming, majorities, repudiated the
present miserable dynasty at Washington,
nnd arrayed herself on tho side of Free
White Labor, and has thus enabled her
self to dictate the character and policy of
the next Federal Administration. She
may not herself furnish the Opposition
cutdidute, but it will most unqucstiouab y
be her province to determine- who and
what manner of man he shall be. She
will, at our National Convention, discharge
this duty as becomes n great State, and
re doubt not, to tho entire satisfaction of
. . .-I , , .
he true friends of the People in every
wc
th
part of the Union. And in November,
180, she will give such an expression at
the ballot-box as will awe the Slavery
propagandists, shame the Dough-faces,
and, we trust, wipe out forever the last
vestige of Sham-Democracy. ' Stand from
under."
Hon. J. Ev. 3IocreIicaI.
A recent number of the Huntingdon
AmcnWni puts forth an article in relation
to this gentleman, which we take pleas
ure in transferring to our columns; and
in response to the editor's inquiry, "Are
we not right?" wc say, "Yes, you are;
emphatically right." We have been per
sonally acquainted with Gen. Moorehcad
for a number of years, and time only
serves to increase our admiration of the
man. We shall be glad indued to see him,
during our next Congress, a member of
the Committee of Ways and Means ; and
wore than this wc shall be glad, at some
future day, to assist in placing him in the
gubernatorial chair of Pennsylvania.
lint to the article :
There aro no surer means to ascertain the
true value of a public niarr, than to follow his
iotftepsin private life, and mark the elements
of action which he has called to his aid to win
access in the common paths of busiuess.
Thus, and there, you sec both the inner and
the outer man. A3 his passions and powers
uto nroused bj obstacles and troubles, you
see how he masters the one and wields the
other, to overcome all difliculties, and make
lasting and tirui every foothold ill his deter

the member of Congress from Allegheu v coun

years ago, he came to our town full of energy

Elariier't Ferry Trouble.
The preliminary examination of the
prisoners captured at Harper's Ferry com
menced on the 5th ult., before the Mag
istrate's Court, in Charlestowu, Ya.
At half-past 10 o'clock, the sheriff was
directed to bring in the prisoners, who
were conducted irom the jail under a
guard of eighty armed men. A guard
was also stationed around the court-house,
and bayonets were bristling on all sides.
Charles J5. Jlnrdiuir, Esq., attorney for
the county, is assisted by Andrew Hunter,
Esq., counsel lor the Commonwealth ;
and the Court assigned Charles J. Faulk
ner and Lawson Botts as counsel for the
prisoners. Mr. Faulkner, however, begged
the Court to excuse him from serving,
whereupon Mr. CJreen was desired to as
sist in the defence, which he consented to
do.
After the usual preliminaries had beer,
settled, the Grand Jury retired; and at
noon the next day, reported a true bill
againt each prisoner. They contain three
counts : First, for conspiring with negroes
to produce an insurrection ; second, for
treason to the Commonwealth ; and third,
for murder.
The names of the prisoners are Brown,
Stevens, Copeland, Edwin Coppee, J.
Coppee, (mulatto,) and Green, (negro.)
Captain John E. Cook was arrested on
the 20th ult., about fourteen miles from
Chambersburg, and his identity estab
lished. Gov. Wise, of A'irginia, has de
spatched a requisition to the Governor of
Pennsylvania for the custody of Cook.
A despatch was received from Brown's
former place of residence, in Ohio, stating
that insanity is hereditary in his family,
his father and several of his relations be
ing afflicted in that manner.
On Friday, 28th ult., the case was ta
ken up for trial. A jury having been
sworn to fairly and impartially try the
prisoner, the indictment, tilling seven pa
ges, was read.
At the opening nf the Court in the af
ternoon, witnesses were called, and the
examination commenced.
We omit the evidence, from the fact
that it is too long for our columns.
Messrs. Green and Botts, counsel for
the prisoner, stated that, in consequence
f some remarks made by him, to the ef-
et J,e V'1 T 'Hith "! 1,L connM
they withdew irom iurther management of
the case. Samuel Charlton, Esq.,'of Wash-
ington city, aud Henry Griswold, Esq., of
Cleavcland, appeared, and were qualified
as counsel for the defense.
The case still drags its slow way along.
Orders have been given to the guard to
shoot the prisoners in case a rescue is at
tempted. Telegraphic news, furnished by the pa
pers of yesterday, state that Brown was
convicted. A motion in arrest of judg
ment was made by his counsel, alleging as
a reason the commission of errors as well
in the indietmeut as the verdict. The
motion was to be atgued yesterday.
Curiosities. At an Agricultural Fair
in North Adams, Mass., the following cu
riosities were exhibited : American cents
of every date from 1703 to 185'J; a pine
tree sixpence dated 10":J, and copper coins
with the name of the Emperor Constantine
upon them, and therefore supposed to be
1 two years old. Mrs. L. 31. Norman, a
great grand-daughter of old Gen. Putnam
of Pomfret, Ct., presented two portraits of
her grand parents taken 50 years ago and

pocket of Seth Wider, her grandfather,
when he helped to throw the tea overboard
in Boston harbor, and a stone salt cellar
175 years old. 1). W. Stevens, of the

discuss very freely the aspect of Senatorial
affairs. A multitude of views are present

of the Governor would be indorsed by him
as the most fitting man in the State for
the -position, and he would in this wise
give offense to all other candidates; and
again, he would be debarred from oppo
sing the election by the Legislature of his
own choice. Weller will be. a candidate.
and probably stands the best chance of
success. It is true that the appointed
Senator would only hold his seat f or a few

ment a very desirable one. Mr. Gwin

The Great Eastern remains at Holy

sawing several of the mortar beds between
the courses on the side from which the
chimney leaned, thereby allowing it to
come back with its own weight, without
the application of any external force.
Only one draft was cut at a time, to guard
against any shock which might have en
dangered the state of the building, and by
keeping the saws wet, abed of mortar was
prepared fbr the superincumbent weight
to settle down upon. Twelve cuts were
made iu this manner, on different parts of
the structure, which generally set before
the saws had passed through half of the
circumference, particularly in those made
nearest the ground, where the weight was
greatest. The principal dimensions of the
chimney are: Total height, 408 feet;
