Trial or llrown the Leader or the
Harper's Ferry Conspirators.
The trial of Brown commenced at Charles
town, the county seat of Jefferson county Vir
. . , ' , , . '
nnia. on last lhursdav. Ibo indictment
charges him first, with insurrection; secondly
witn treason: tniruty. wuu murucr. vu ue
ing brought into court, he took occasion to
express the belief he entertained, that he
would not receive a fair trial lie stated
that he had not employed any Counsel and
teemed unwilling at first, that th6 Court
should assign mm any. it was however nnai
ly arranged, that Messrs. Green and liotts,
should act as his Counsel. lie said that be
was not insane at the commencement of, or
during the insurrection, and therefore desir
ed that such a plea should not be urged in
his behalf. The Jury having been sworn,
he pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Harding the
District Attorney then stated the fact
to nf tho
case to the Jury, and read the law of Treason
in the State of Virginia, which provides, that
levying war against the State giving comfort
to its enemies, or establishing any other gov-
ernment within ild limits, are punishable!
with death. The murder of a citizen is pun-
iehable with death. The advising of a slave certainly, justly claim to be that which is ex
to produce insurrection is also a capital of- tremely rare at the present time a candid
fence. After the Counsel for the wisoner
iad made some able remarks coucernins the
law affecting the case, the District Attorney
proceeded to call the witnesses on behalf of
Commonwealth. The testimony thus far
does not differ in the slightest degree, from
the account of the insurrection published in
the Newspapers at the time. On Thursday
afternoon. Mr. Green one of the Counsel for
the prisoner, informed the court that he had
jaat received a telegraphic despatch from publicans, contributed not a little towards en

tadt, a farmer and slaveholder near Harper's
Ferry, although brief, gives a correct insight
in to tho designs of Jirown in commencing
the insurrectionj and we therefore publish
it.
John Alstadt, sworn On Monday morning
about 3 o'clock, I was aroused from sleep by
a noise at the door, I asked who was at the
door; the reply was. "get up quick, or we
will burn you up," I asked what they intend
ed to do; thoy said, "To free the country of
slavery;" they told they were goiug to take mc
to Harper's Ferry; I dressud myself, and wheu
I got to the door I found they had all my
blacks, seven in number; we were all put in
to a wagon; the negroes were then armed with
pikes; all the men who arrested us were arm
ed; we went to the aiuiory yard; where I was
put' in charge of one of Brown's party; we
wero afterwards ordered into the watch-house
and saw Col Washington there; Brown came
and spoke to us about our getting two negroes
to take our place, and he then would release
us: nothing - further was said about that;
Brown's rifle was cocked all the time; the
negroes were placed in the watch house with
6pear8 iu their hands; the slaves showed no
disposition to use them; witness was after
wards transfered to the engine house; several
negroes were there; saw "Phil" making port
holes by Brown's orders; the other negroes
doing nothing, and had dropped their spears
sc&e, of them were asleep" nearly all the time
(Taughter;) when the marines made the as
sault, Brown's party took a position behind
the engine house, and aimed at the door;
Brown was in front, equating, be aimed at
the marines, and my opinion is that he killed
the marine.
Geo. W. Iloyt, Eq., a young Lawyer of
Boston, araived in Charlestown on Friday
morning, for the purpose of acting as coun
sel for Brown. He did not immediately take
part in tho case. The constitution of the
"provisional government" was laid before the
Jury. Also a number of letters found in the
possession of Brown. Letters from Gerrct
Smith, Joshua 11. Giddings and other promi
nent abolition leaders were read. The teste
mony for the Prosecution closed on Friday af
ternoon . Several witni ses who had been priso
ners of Brown during the insurrection, were
called by the defence for the purpose of pro
viug that whilw iu ctody, they were treated
with humanity. Several witnesses having been
called for the defence who did not answer,
Browu arose and stated to the Court, "that
he thought a fair trial was not given him,"
and that he believed bis counsel were n-ot
true to him, that counsel on whom he coold
rely, would arrive the next day, and reques
ted the Court to adjourn until morning.
I
After eome farther discussicn 51 r. Hunter, J
one of the counsel for the Commonwealth
said :

This whether promised to Brown or not, is
guaranteed by our laws, to every prisoner,
and so far as am concerned, I hare studi
ously avoided suggesting anything to the
Couit that would in the slightest degree in
terfere with it. I beg leave to say, in refer
ence to this application, that 1 supposed tbe
Court, even under these circumstances, will
have to be satisfied in some wav. through the
o
counsel or otherwise, that this testimony is
material tetinionv. So far as anv witness
has been examined the evidence relates to the
conduct of Capt. Brown, in treating his pris
oners with lenit7. resnect. and courtesv. and
t j
tbis additional matter, that his Hags of truce,
if you choose to regard them so. were not re

Messrs. Green & Botts, then stated that in
consequence of the remarks of the prisoner,
they withdrew from the case, and would take
no further part in its management. The
Court then adjourned. The repeatad efforts
of Brown to postpone the case created . fears
in the minds of many citizens of Charlestown,
that a rescue would be attempted. On Sat
urday morning Samuel Charlton of Wash
ington City, and Henry Griswold of Cleave-
i . . .
,aod appeared, and were qualified as counsel

he anticipated that it would terminate in a
j-r i - ....
umereut manner irom that in which it did.
He acknowledged to Governor Wise, that he
expected large reinforcements from differ
States, and that he had a sufficient number
of Rifles Spears &c, in his possession, for
arming 2000 men. He expected that the
Slaves in Virginia and Maryland would at
once rebel against their masters, that the in
surrection would soon extend to all the South
ern States, and that the St. Domingo Trage
dy with all its horrors, would be rean acted.
HiQjpily for the country, the Slaves were not
willing to play the part assigned them. Con
scqucstlj the rebellion wa3 put down with
out any difficulty, and Brown is now on trial
before a Jury of his countrymen, charged
with the highest crimes, that a human being
is capable of committing He is a Traitor
and a Murderer, and we sincerely hope be
will not escape the punishment which his deep
guilt merits. But what shall we say of such
men as Gerret Smith. Giddings and Fred.
Douglas, who gave Brown "aid and comfort"
in his treasonable enterprize. but who kept
at a respectable distance when the time for
action hal arrived? As traitors, they are
bis equal But in one respect they are his
inferiors; be is a brave man, they are cow
ards. In order to show our rea lers the tone of the
article in the Star, we clip the following ex
tract from it :
"This attempt was unsuccessful, Dot be
cause it was premature, but because they
mistook the elements with which thev had to
deal. The slaves did not rush to their sup
port as they anticipated, and in stead of have
mg a thousand arme dnegroes at their backs,
with hourly augmenting numbers, with which
they could march Southward and light the
fires of rebellion, they found themselves a
lone and unassisted, and crushed out after a
few hours of feeble resistance. That this
was a preconcerted movement, and not mere
ly the freak of a madman is proven, besides
the documentary evidence found with Brown,
by the cautionary letter written to Secretary
Floyd mouths ago, and by Smith's letter to
the Jerry Rescue Celebration, in which he
predicts this very attempt, saying at the
same time, that telegraps aDd railroads could
be rendered useless in a moment ; that the
whole South would be paralyzed and horror
stricken the moment the blow was struck
that they would make but a feeble resistance
to the uprising of their slaves ; but that their
whole aim would be to hurry their wives and
daughters from the inevitable fate that

words, but the substance of them. What
was at that time considered the blustering of

vile population did not rise the telegraphs
and railroads did their duty the citizens of
the couth did not run terror-stricken away
and had it not been for the blood shed, the
rebellion would have proved a farce.
We are free to admit, that, in our opinion,
speeches such as that made by Senator Sew
ard at Rochester, go far towards fostering
and building up the Abolition sentiment.
We do not believe that the able Senator him
self, endorses in his heart ' -wfiat his lips, for
the sake of "buncombe," said about the "ir
repressible eonflict" between the free States
and the slave State3. But-' we1 will not dis
cuss that question now. We will only say
that such speeches as the Rochester speech,
whilst they do no good, go far towards em
bittering both sections of our Country; and
banging on that 'conflict" which it sdould be
the aim of every "good citizen to avoid.
JST "I called around, Mr. Editor," said
Mordicai to us on last Saturday, "I called
around to see the Mountain Cricket Club play
ing a tew days ago. I was very much pleas
ed with the game, but I think the fellows
who hold the paddles, or whatever you call
them, occupy positions which every good
man must condemn. " "Why Mordicai"? we
asked. "Because he answered, it is the duty
of both, to protect tie wicked(wicket.")"Mor
dicai," said we, "I think thaet.is a very .flat
pun." "That may be all trucfxMr Editor,"
he replied, "but if you are in the habit of
perusing the column headed "Editorial No
tmgs" in the Allegfianian. you know as well
as I do, that flat things arenot only said, but
actually get into print now a days. "That
is very true Mordicai," we answered, "and I
must confess, that the sayings of Damphool
have goue far towards shaking my belief in
the assertion of Shakspear, that there is noth
ing in a name." Do you know Mr. Editor"
said Mordicai, "that Bitters and Damphool
are brothers? Damphool is th6 surname of
the family. The youngest of the two was
nicknamed Bitters by his friends a number of
years ago, because he was in the habit of al
ways taking several. Nips before breakfast a
practice to which he still religiously adheres.
So you see, Mr. Editor, thaflhey are broth
ers and both Damphools. suspected as
much Mordicai for some time. "we answered.
"There is certainly a strong family resem
blance between them." "Mordicai" we con
tinued, "if we may credit the Editor of the
A.ue3haman, Bitters says you are better at
taking a Nip with your friends than you are
at treating them." " 'Tis a vileslander Mr.
Editor," said Mordicai, "bat inasmuch as
Bitters is a particular friend of mine. I wont
quarrel with him about it. Mr. Editor," con
tinued the old gentleman, '.'although I am
not much of a scholar, I think no man can
say or write any thing gracefully unless it is
natural and not far fetched. 7 If it disnlavs
premeditation and a desperate determination
on the part of the talker or writer to be witty

matters. A fool is often shnwincr M fr.n
is folly
when he thinks he is playing the part of a
witty or wise man." That is all true Mor
dicai," we replied, "and your observations
remind me of Hudibras' saying that,
"r oo!s are known by looking 'vise,
As men find woodcocks by their eves."
"Mr. Editor" said Mordicai, "let us step over
to Isaac's "and take a Nip or if you are not
busy, we'll walk up to Whissel's. He keeps
a superior article of small beer. Bitters and I
drank several bottles of it the other night
Its a wholesome beverage and wont intoxi

ed, "lam not- thircfw incf nnm tTT!1 "

said Mordicai, "I am, Mr. Editor, so good

JtW Last Monday night was Hollow eve,
or Halloween, as Burns calls it, and of course
theVhoys of our town were around for several
hours after the "old folks" had retired to rest.
They however behaved themselves remarka
bly well under the circumstances. They
amused themselves by barricading the Di
motd with store boxes, wagons, &c,. and
several signs were removed, ; As the rising
generation must and will have a little fun oc
casionally, it dont do to be too severe on them
on occasions of this kind. Mordicai is of the
opinion, that none but old women in breeches,
grumble at the good matured tricks of Young
America on Halloween. He thinks however,
that it would be much better for tbem if they
were asleep in their beds, instead of making
uight hideous with their noise.

A Sound Decision. The Supreme Court
of Indiana has made a decision which inter
ests the newspaper press, and also advertis
ers. A controversy existed, relative to a charge
for advertiseing, between the Commission
ers of Hamilton county and the Patriot news
paper It was held by the Judge that "the
published terms of a newspaper constitute
a contract. If a work is grven to newspaper
publishers, without a special contract contra
vening the published terms, the publishers
can charge and receive according to the
terras so published.
It is not necessary to prove what the work
cost or was worth ; the publishers have a
right to fix the value of their columns, and
if so fixed, no other question need be asked,
but the price tbui charged can be procured-"
