The lending Ijoco-Foco journals; of the
country, with that spirit of unfairness
which has ever characterized the in, are
making a desperate effort to faeten upon
the People's I'arty, the responsibilities in

JDistarbed so much hy the dissensions and
bickerings within their own ranks, they

worn-out and defunct 1'arry, not indeed
upon principle, for that they never had,
hut by wiltully and deliberately misrepre
senting their opponents. Conscious of
their own weakness, but still afflicted with
an inordinate appetite for Bower and Plun
der, they understand fully the importance
of the approaching Presidential contest ;
to be successful in which, they grab at the
recent insurrection, as drowning men do
ht straws as if indeed it were the last and
the only nieuns by which they may avert
their impending doom. They vainly imag
ine that they can so distort facts and coin
falsehoods, as to make Senator Seward,

io, some
ears ago, u.diwd the friends of Free
ivansas out of about $700, to go U that
crrirory and do nothing. Tlds man
Forbes ' Cclor ei" Forbes, by the way
fjr the sake of a lit lie distinction in the
pctitieal world, intimates in a card that
nbout eighteen months ago, he explained
to Senator Seward the plot of Old Brown
ttirl his confederate:?, and tliat Senator
l-'es-ard stated that he desired to hear
lothing more of such talk. This may be
true; "out the probability is that it is not
true, from the fact that the statement is
made when Senator Seward is absent, and
consequently unable to contradict it. But
whether true or not, it proves nothing.
If Forbes did really go-to him with the
information, it was quite natural in Sena
tor Seward to disregard it, as at thai time,
ml from each a source, no man of com
mon sense could listen to such a revelation
vithcv.t fooling that it emanated from a
mailman.
But when Senator Seward thus
gic hiia the el 1 suau'.der, why did not
thirf illustrious Colonel go to some one

i.c might uubarden himself freely? AVhy

ors of desiirninsr politicians. Wherever I
the charge of complicity with, or guilty
knowledge of, John Brown's movement
has been made against innocent men
other than Senator Seward, it has been
promptly met and the lie as promptly
nailed. When an opportunity is presen
ted to Senator Howard to do so, although
it will be a work not demanded by a dis
cermnir ami appreciative 1 come, he too
will furnish proof, positive and couvin
cing, that his skirts are clear of the blood
shed at Harper's Ferry. Would to lleav-

charge against Senator Seward, can i-o
. . ! j. V . .
easily rid their skirts of the blood of old
John Brown, whose life is soon to be of
fered up to satisfy the demands of Slave
breeding Virginia!
ITSio is to EMamc I
Because Senator Seward paid no atten
tion to the disclosures which it is alleged
were made to him some months ago, it is
argued by the Loeo-Foeo Press, that he is
;uihy of complicity with old John Brown
in his schemes to excite a Slave insurree-
tion. Admitting as truth all that Forbes
says ill his '-.Most Important llevelations"
and we really think that would be ad
mitting a great deal we may safely as
sert that Senator Seward is not half so
guilty in the premises as the Federal Ad
ministration. It will be remembered, that
Forbes, according to his own account, de
sired to unburden himself to Senator
Seward about eighteen mouths ago. But
the following anonymous letter, addressed
to and received by Governor Floyd, Sec
retary of War, will show that the admin
istration hud information of a much later
date, and of a very specific character, re
lative to the intended insurrection :
'Ciscixxati, Aug. 'JO, 1850.
"Sin I Lave lately received information of
a movement of so GREAT IMPORTANCE that
I feel it to be my duty to impart it to you
without delay. 1 have discovered the cxis-
tence of ii secret association, having for its
ot.jeet THE LIBERATION Or' THE SLAVES
AT THE SOUTH BY A GENERAL INSUR
REC1ION". The leader of the movement is
OLD JOHN 11UOWN, late of Kansas. Jit has
Wu in Canada during the winter, drill in j:
t!lC negroes there, and they are only waiting
Lis word to start for the South to assist the
alavte. They have one of tlie Ieadinjr men, a
w!..;.. man, i:i an armory in Maryland: where
it is situate! I have not Iieen aiie to learn.
As soon as t vi.ryihinii is ready, those of their
uumher v !iu ;-.re iu the Northern States and
Canada are to eome in siaall eonipauies to
their rendezvous, wltieh is in the nuiuntains
in Virginia. They will pass down through
Pennsylvania and Marylai!!. and enter Vir
ginia at Haupki-.'s Fkkry. Brown left tlie

Tllu:t i,e clone at once. They have a larre
iautity of arms at their rendezvous, and
probably distributitiir theia already. As I am
not fuliv in their eoatidence, this is all the in-
foriaatiuii I cati give you. 1 dare tot eiu my
name to this, but I trust that you will not dis
regard the warning' on that aecoant."
2sov, we grant that an anonymous let
ter is nut, as a general thing, very god
authority; nevertheless, we think that in
this instance, the evidence which it af
fords is quite as good as any that could be
given by an adventurer like Forbes. In
deed we think it much bfctitr; for while
it gives in detail the particulars of the in
tended invasion, it gives them at the very
time when the party to whom it was ad
drcsed might look around for facts and
circumstances corroborating the truth of
the report. By this letter, (lovernor
Floyd was informed of a "na rct association
haciwj for its oljaet the liberation of shies
by u jKiM-al insurrection ;" that "old John
Brou n of Kansas9' was to be their leader;
that the "Armory" and "lienor's Ferry"
were to be the theatre of operations ; "and
that the negroes were to be "armed" and
the "blow" struck "iu a Jew weeks"
Moreover, this letter was sent to the prop
er person to the very official whose duty
it is to ferret out all similar outbreaks,
and to take the measures necessary for
their suppression.
It is plain, therefore, that the Adminis
tration was duly advised of an intended
insurrection; and it is equally plain that
had it heeded that advice, aud availed it
self of the advantages which it afforded,
the plan3 of Old Brown and his confed
erates in folly, might have been defeated
in the very outset. Thus the citizens and
soldiery at Harper's Ferry might have
been spared the disgrace of being taken,
and the chivalry of A 'irginia the mortifi
cation of being scared, by seventeen white
men and five niggers ! Why, then, didn't
the Administration do its duty? "'e
hope those who are so ready to vilify and
malign Senator Seward, will answer the
question.

"The People's Club."
A meeting was held in Philadelphia, a
few evenings since, at which was organ
ized what is cejtVcZ a "People's Club.'
The following is Article G of the Cousti
tution which was adopted :
"Article 6- Any person may become a mem
ber ot this Club by signing the Constitution
but in so becoming a member, he shall be
regarded as pledged to use all his influence
and exertions in favor of Gen. Cameron as the
People's! candidate for the Presidency'
It is apparent from this Article, that
all who wish to enjoy the luxury of be
coming members of the "People's Club,
must first commit themselves to the sup
port of Simon Cameron for the Presiden
cy. This may do very well for those who
like it, but we confess we do not desire to
be raukeel among the number. If Simon
Camerou is to carry Pennsylvania, so be
it ; but let it be done fairly. If the or
ganization of clubs be indispensable to
that end, we have no objection, but we in
sist that they be called by their proper
name. We have heard of Clay Clubs,
Scott Clubs, Tremout Clubs, etc., which
were all right enough, and so will be a
club tu advance the interests of Simon
Cameron, if it be called a "Cameron
Club." We insist that the name of the
"People" shall not be perverted: It is a
ftarty name, and as such let it be used.

fiiai pel 's JFerry Trouble. -Old
tlrown Convicted.
Charlestown, Oct 31. The Court
House was densely crowded to witness the
close of the trial of Old Brown. The coun-
el proceeded to sum up. Mr. Gritswold
opened for the defense, followed by Mr.
Chilton on the same side, and the argu
ment was dosed by Mr. Hunter for the
prosecution.
J he argument beiucr concluded. Mr.
Chilton asked the Court to instruct the
jury that if they believed the prisoner was
not a cuizeu oi irgiuia, tncy cannot c-on-
vict mm on the count ol treason. The
Court dc-liued saying the Constitution
did not give rights and immunities alone,
but alst responsibilities.
Mr. Chilton asked another instruction,
to the effect that the jury must be satisfied
as to the place where the offence was com
mitted, whether within the boundaries of
Jefferson county, which the Court granted.
A recess for half an hour was taken,
when tlie jury came iu with their verdict.
Au intense excitement prevailed in the
Court room. Brown sat up in his bed
while the verdict was being rendered.
The jury found him "guilty of advising
and conspiring with slaves and others to
rebel, and of murder in the first degree."
Brown laid down quietly. He said
nothing, aud there was no demonstration
tf an- kind.
Mr. Chilton moved an arrest of judgment
both on account of the errors in the in
dictment and errors in the verdict.
By agreement the points will be argued
to-morrow morning. Brown was remaud
ed to jail.
On Wednesday, 3d inst., Browu was
brought into the Court House, to receive
his sentence. The court gave its decision on
the motion to arrest judgment, overruling
objections made. On the objection that
treason cannot be committed against a
State except by a citizen, it ruled that
wherever allegiance was due, treason may
be committed ; most of the States have
passed laws against treason-. The objec
tions as to the form of the verdict ren
dered were also regarded as insufficient.
The Court then proceeded to pronounce
the sentence. Altera few preliminary re
marks, in which he said no reasonable
doubt could exist as to the prisoner's
guilt, he sinteneed him to be hung, in pub
lic, on Friday, the 2d day of December.
Brown received the sentence with com
posure. Mr. Harding announced that he was
ready to proceed with the trial of Coppee,
who was then brought in. He took a scat
between Messrs. Griswold and Hoyt, who
appeared as his counsel. He appeared
calm and composed.
The remainder of the day was spent in
endeavoring to procure a jury. The panel
was not complete when, at 5 o'clock, the
Court adjourned.
Alter tlie panelling of the jury, the case
was resumed. Iso witnesses were called
tor the defense. Mr. Harding opened the
argument for the State, and Hoyt and
Griswold for tho defendant. Mr. Hunter
closed for the prosecution. The jury then
retired, aud, after being out about an
hour, returned with a verdict, deolarin
him guilty on all the counts in the indict
meat.

We submit the above as the most refreshing
puff we have enjoyed during our editorial ca
reer. 8?3L W'e always make it a point to regulate
the quantity and strength of the '-pickle."
Stand.
That explains it. We often wondered how
you could keep up such a prodigious quantity
with so little strength.
Darnphool, whose ingeuuity knows
no bounds, has just invented the following
conundrum :
Why is the editor of the Democrat and Sen
tinel like an old woman fast declining? Be
cause every week makes him show a little
Mor-decai, (more decay.)
The editor of the Den.& Sent, may consider
that rather a flat conundrum, but Damphool
flatters himself it is not quite so flat as the
subject.
Bi, When the Ebcnsburg Brass Baud was
first organized, the County Commissioners
graciously permitted its members to meet in
the Court House to practice. Some time
since, however, they put an end to that busi
ness, intimating, as we have been informed
that the Band was somewhat of a nuisance.
Now, Bitters gives it as his opinion, that the
Commissioners, if they desired to preserve
consistency, should not have permitted, a few
evenings later, a certain one-horse show to
exhibit in that public building. Most cruelly
acrid is Bitters when he takes the notion 1
KaSf- Pickles, who, like the editor of tho Al-
leguenian, knows a little of everything and
not much of anything, insists that it is agreat
mistake to suppose that because most of the
items in that paper are accredited to "Bitters,"
that he is therefore the father of them. lie
alleges that '-Bitters' is simply an alias, and
that the many witty things that appear in
that sheet are all written by A. Damphool
Esq. Very likely. Stand. '
Bitters, who, if he knew no more than the
editor of the Standard, would have the good
sense to consider himself a natural know-
nothing, states that it matters very little
whether the items in that sheet are accredited
to Tickles or to the editor, as in either case
it is quite evident that "the child is lather to
the man." He admits, how ever, that it is bu
natural to suppose that Pickles is simply a-
lie-att in fact only representing the editor
under another name. But, as Bitters has nev
er yet discovered any witty things in that
sheet, he takes it, upon fair principles of log
ic, that none have yet been written for it.
Altogether likclv.
jg Mordicai, iu a recent conversation
with the editor of the Democrat k Sentinel,
intimates in very plain terms that Bitters aud
Damphool are both fools. Without any dis
position w hatever to invoke the Ux talionix,
but admitting the soft impeachment, those
gentlemen respectfully ask room in these col
umns, to submit for the benefit of Mordicai,
the following proverb, written, we believe,
many years ago, by a wise man called Solo
mon :
'Scest thou a man wise in his own conceit?
there is more hope of a fool than of hiui."
Now, considering that there is not, in all
these parts, a fellow so wise iu his own con
ceit as Mordicai, the natural conclusion is,
that his case is rather a hopeless one. Nev
ertheless, Bitters and Damphool, with that
magnanimity which they are so wont to dis
play on all occasions, are content to let the
Public draw their own inferences ; and they
insist, that should it be determined from the
premises, that Mordicai is au idiot why then
it's not their fault.
We always make it a point to rcp-ulate
thequantity and strength of tiie '-pickle" to suit
the condition of the object to be preserved.
Iu your case we had to increase the quantity
and make it a littlestrouger than usual for
fear you might be "spiling7' for a light.
Dc-Fperate diseases require desperate remedies,
you know Stand.
Not so with our Bitters : we never interfere
with its strength. But as that is exceedingly
great, so much the more care have we to exercise
in regulatingthe quantity. Forinstance, iatLe
course of our extensile practice, we sometimes
come across a subject who is but slight-ually
affected with that loathsome disease known
in our catalogue of complaints as would-be-smurt
net's ; iu such case, we administer our
unrivalled Bitters iu small quantities, merely
giving the patient a slight nip occasionally
uut.il he gets better. But with you it was
different. Your case was a peculiar one, one
of its most alarming symptoms being that the
more Bitters we gave you, the more you seemed
disposed to take. You had indeed become unite
a sucker. "Desperate diseases require desper
ate remedies, you know." You will jardou
us, therefore, for giving you the dose which
settled your hash so suddenly.
Tlie Result in Kansas.
The recent constitutional election in
Kansas seems tt have been very much
like the handle of a jug, the friends of the
new constitution beating its opponents
about two to one. This ought to be enough
to settle the stomach of the most rampant
Lecomptonite ; as it puts a most effectual
stopper ou the stereotyped falsehood of
the slave Democracy that the rcorle of
ivansas cii not care a bution about setting
up a state government ou their own ac
count.
The figures, as published in the Sr.
Louis Jiejnxbliean, look this way :
For the Constitution lo.-llf
Against the Constitution ..-.:;.
For the Homestead Law 8.T.")8
Against the llomotcad Law 4.772
The most gratifying feature of thispop
ul ar decision is the triumphant support of the
beneficent homestead measure. This mag
nanimous liberality will do more to attract
por uhition to the new Commonwealth than
any legislative act which could be devised.
This decision secures the actual settler in
possesion of his homestead, beyond the
disturbing influence of the sheriff or
the bailiff and thus makes him teel the
pride of a true independence. There is
much more wisdom in the measure adopt
ed by the people of Kansas than in our
three hundred dollar exemption law, which
allows tio wide a charter fur the dishon
est, and too little protection for the honest,
man.
The Republican party, both by na
tional platform and by Congressional vote
has committed itself fully to the lib
eral doctrine of granting land to actual
settlers on condition of the improvement
of the homestead thus conferred. Had
the Denwerats in the hist Congress been
Democrats iu anything but the name, the
Homestead Bill would have been made a
finality, aud the fertile lands of the great
West made to bloom like gardens under
the beneficent efforts of the" hardy sons of
toil. But the aristocratic Senate, which
has no sympathy with the poor man, be
ing wholly under southern control, killed
the measure of course. We hope for bet
ter luck with a Republican President ; for
we have an abiding faith that this great
act of justice will eventually be made law.
