If Brown was crazy, what was the New York Tribune but the meditim through which similar crazy men uttered trea son, when it declared, in speaking of the Kansas Nebraska bill, "Better that coirfu "sion should ensue; better that discord' "should reign in the national councils ;• bet "ter that Congress should break up in wild "disorder ; nay, better that the capitol it "self should blaze by the torch of the in "cendiary, or fall and bury all its inmates "beneath its crumbling ruins, than that "this perfidy and wrong should be finally "accomplished!"

With these avowed senti ments and designs of the leaders of the Republican party before the country, it iv folly for the journals in the intermits of that party to attempt to laugh off the responsi bility which justly attaches to their party for this Harper's Ferry affair. It cannot be done. No crazy man—no man without aid—noman without thecountenanceof just such men as sent Sharp's Rifles to Kansas instead of Bibles--could have procured fif teen hundred stand of arms in Connecticut, and transported them to Maryland and Virginia unknown and unsuspected. Gen tlemen, it won't do—yonr Ilerper's Ferry card has been plaid a little too soon, and you must now bear the responsibility. R. C. Wilson, Adjutant General of the State of Pennsylvania, has taken forty muskets which were in p3asessinn of the colored military company, that paraded a few months since in Philadelphia.—Er rAanye. And in doing so, has performed an act of duty to the state and the country. We have no great faith in the efficiency or ne cessity of our militia system. I t is, perhaps. well enough as a holiday pastime, at the public expense, for those who delight to surround themselves with the "pomp and circumstance" of imaginary war, but it loses even that charm when it isiburlesqued by the formation of negro oompanies, with arms put in their bands by the state. go.

"More than a year ago, when the Kansas troubles had come to an end, a gentleman —for such he mix by birth and breeding— fresh from the scene of strife, and ready for another contest, culled to see tile at my office. Ile was a soldier by profeesion had fought for freedom in Hungary and on the plains of Kansas, and was now ready. if an opportunity would offer. to draw his sword in the same behalf in the mountains of Virginia or in the swamps of South Caroli ne. On this last point he wanted to know my opinion. which, of course, I was prompt to give. • Our enterprise,' I said, is a moral one. It rejects the sword It seeks to accom plish its end by ideas. It appeals to the understanding, the heart, the conscience, the purse. Its of ject is, by changing pub lic opinion, to effect a moral revolution : that to be followed by a proper political reconstruction : the KWH% to be ace omphsh isl by the least plietHlMl` exercise This, he said, Was well enough in theory, but it would not work in practice. It was too slow. In the initiatory stage` of the movement it might do well enough. but the time had come when something more decisive was called for. Ile was not an abolitionist in the common sense of the word. but he was a friend of freedom 1,111 , world over, and wax ready, at any time, to unsheathe his sword against oNiression.— I I know John Itroun, of I issawatotniel Sit, I aid tow know him, though I hod often heard of him.

But soon after this, I heanl from irother source thnt John Brown was still rrietlitating ile.eent on the slavelitild ers.ttnil WM; onfy waiting to find coat liutors. And about six weeks ago, a highly retpee- Lahti. gentleman, Just returned from foreign travel. stopped in this city, and, in thu course of a conversation I had with him, dropped expressions implying his knowl edge of Brown's intentions, and, what. sur prised me most, of his approval of t hem.— A scertain ing my sentiments on the subject, he did not make me a confidant, and not anticipating any serious result., nor any im mediate result of any kind, I made no par ticular inquiries. "This is the extent of my knowledge in regard to this startling affair. When 1 heard the first rumor, yesterday, I credited it, and believed that John Brown had a hand in it ; subsequent disclosures have proved that-I was right.

But the most valuable discovery was a trunk belonging to Capt. Brown, contain ing a great number of highly important papers, documents, plans and letters from private individuals throughout the Union —all revealing the existence of an exten sive and thoroughly organized conspiracy, whose leaders were Capt. Brown and .1. F. Cook, and the well-defined, determed ex pressed object of rihich was the hastening of the " irrepressible conflict" 'hal iete,l by Seward, and recently by (ierrt t Smith. which r‘ast to result in the "disenthralment of the slaves of the South," and the ex tinction of the "slave power." The most undoubted evidences have thus been obtained, not only of the plans and hopes of this formidable insurrection ary organization, but of the indisputable fact of its extension throught the North ern and Western States, from the influen tial citizens, of whom the treasonable move ment has received its sustaining support and encouragement.. In a trunk, supposed to have belonged to Ca pt. Brown, was found Seen small though elaborate maps of as many different, States, bearing peculiar marks, which would seem to indicate that the points of attack, and the a ottrse of the insurrectionary move ment through the South, had already been carefully determined upon by this well or ganized and confident league of traito rs ._ 'ertain etiunties in the seven States, of which only these maps were obtained, bear cross marks, formed by a pen. and in sev eral instances as if to command grmter particularity of attention, or to suggest perhaps moriNailable points of attack, circular lines are drawn around the cross,s. i 4 1 Gov.

Ile said, - Well, Govern or, I suppose you think me a depraved criminal. Well, sir, we have our opinions of each other." The remark was made with no disrespect whatever. The Governor re plied, -‘ ou are in tla' hands of the State, and I have questions to ask, which you can answer or not as you choose." Brown OM inverell every question and made full con fession which will be puldishasil hereafter. Brown said he WU conscious that h e was in the hands of the law and was tirepartsl to meet his fate ; that as far as he himself and those already in custody were concern ed, he haul no concealment whatever to make ; that he had been mistaken in his calculation' about assistance from others, otherwise he would have given much more trouble. He said the whole plot was well contrived and arranged as far back as 1856, and that he had reason to expect assistance of from 3,000 to 5,000 men ; that he looked for aid from every State,( Virginia included.) Upon being asked if any nogroes or whites, in or about Harper's Ferry, were pledged to him, he declined answering. Upon re fleet ion he ft.:uric(' an answer in these words: "From my visits, and associations and in quiries about here. I had aright to expect the aid of from 3,000 to 5,000 men." Being interrogated very closely by Gov. Wise as to where the boxes of guns and amunit ion came from, frown said they were shipped from ( nocticu tto Chant bersburg, Pen na., direct to "J.

This phrase, a little pecuW and onigmatieal in itself, occurs no lees than four anus in a letter of about twenty-five lines. As the' letter is dated .Tune 4, 1tt.59. and addressed to a man who had not been in Kansas for a year, and so far a. 4 appears never intended to go there again, the suspicion naturally arises that, the word , moan something more than meets the ear.

That it is feasible is evident ; that its consummation would prove of incalculable advantage to Erie, to , Meatlyille, and to the intermediate and adjacent country, is a proposition so plain that It requires no ar gtunents to elucidate it. That it is the only project yet broached that will give our Mead ville friends a railroad connection with the rest of the world is an assertion equally true. Wei have never believed that their long cherished scheme, the Atlantic and Omit. Western, could , ever he accomplished. The amount of money necessary is too rut—especially in these (lays when all sorts of railroad stocks, with (ew ex ceptions, v eal he had for stirs mule on the dollar. Eut the project, so ably set forth in. the columns of the Enquirer, is quite a differ ent one. lt can be accomplished by the people directly interested, with their own means, and so thanks to foreign capitalists ; and when finished would be better for Meadville a thou sand fold than any road passing through ,their beautiful town, because it would end there, / 11 unless thy should deem it important to ex tend it to e Sandi,. Lake Coal fields. Speak ing of tit route and the cost, the Esquire,. says ; "It is well known that the French Creek valley runs a pretty tolerably direct course from this place to Meadville, and that the cur rent of the Creek is ordinarily slow, which In dicates a very light fall in the whole distance. It is not probable that Waterford stands over two hundred feet above the level of Meadville, and it is pretty certain that the maximum grade of the route-will not exceed twenty-five feet to the mile, which is virtuallr equivalent to no grade - st.all. For all practical purposes, then, the route is as level as a floor. Freud{ Creek would not have to be spanned by bridges more than twice once a few miles below Waterford, a not very difficult or expensive job; and the other probably near Cambridge, which would doubtless prove a greater and more expensive undertaking. The grading of the . whole route may he estimated, at the highest figures, to cost about unehundred thousand dollars. The iron for trnek-laying would cost about 11A much more, and the necessary station houses, cars and locomotives nearly the same—making in all about three hundred thousand dollars' cost for grading, track-laying and stocking the road. But- to grade the road is the first and most necessary thing to be considered, anti when that is once done, the road can obtain credit for iron enough to lay it, and all the cars, and so forth, that may l.e necessary to stock it ; and the grading, as we think, can be ;lone for the moderate sum of a hundred thou sand dollars." per* 14 very important arrests were made in this city last week; It appears that rinithe Fair, at Conneaut ville, some three weeks since, a number of dwellings in the vi cinity of that place were broken open and rot). bed of prolierty to a considerable amount.-- Officers were promptly put upon the track, and afler tracing the property and thieves throngh Ohio, they cornered them up in a house on Ca nal street, near the Depot, in this city. When the descent was made upon it, the house had been occupied a week by Isaac. Cosa, Sa mud Syria err, ..Tani Ann /'roar, and a. "sporting la dy," who gave her name as "Fop Smith," all of whom were arrested by officer flay, of rard, and Ferguson, of Erie, and brought be fareJusticeCaAln, and for want of hail in ...,VittO each were rally committed to answer. f/ti the premises was found some of the stolen proper ty, a complete set of burgler's tools, a quantity of skeletonlkeys, together with all the pima phtutalia of a regular crib of house-breakers and thieves It is evident they intended Coop erate on a grand scale, and if they had not been so promptly interfered with doubtless many of our stores and dwellings Would have been fa vored with a visit from them ere many days.— As it is we advise every one to keep a Sharp eye on their bolts and bars, as these confined birds have doubtless accomplices still at large. Her Died, on the 2,oth inst . in Washington City, after a long and painful illness, Mai Hexer L. HARVICT, aged about sixty. In this announcement many of our readers will recog nise the death of an old friend. Nearly thirty years ago, in the printout manhood, Maj. II AR rnY came to Erie, and for a number of years Edited the-Observer with marked ability As a writer he had few superiors in some depart ments of newspaper literature ; but ho lacked that business tact and energy necessary to the successful publication of n country paper— hence, after a few years of struggle and toil to establish the Observer upon a permanent bases. he passed it over-to other hands, and abandon ml the profession forever, though his pen has never been idle To it and to the brain that now calmly sleeps on the banks of the Poto mac, under the shadows,. as it were, of the Na tional Capitol, are we indebteil for many of the choicest gems of the newspaper literature of the day.
