On last Friday, even handed justice meetel out to John Drown, the punish ment justly due to the double crime of Trea son and Murder, of which a Jury of his Countrymen a few weeks ago convicted hini. He was executed at a quarter past eleven o'closk of that day. We publish all the im portant particulars connected with the execu tion in another column, to which we respect fully refer our readers. We hope his fate will be a warning to those who may hereafter feel disposed to disturb the peace and tran quility of the Southern States by invading them with armed forces. Of course wc have no disposition to rejoice over the ignominious death of a fellow being. We wish that John Brown, like a good christian and citizen, had respected the laws of God and his Couatry. If he had done so. he would in all probabil ity, be living to day happily with his wife and children at all events, he would not have died on the scaffold on last Friday, a convic ted Traitor and Murderer. Of course a great deal of sorrow will be manifested for his fate by Abolition Fanatics in all the .Northern States. He will at ODce be declared a Mar tyr in the cause of humanity, and entitled to the admiration of the puro and virtuous por tion of mankind. But his admirers will tind it a difficult matter to cover up his deep guilt, cr to convince the calm intelligent and think ing portion of his fellow eitizen3, that he was not a murderer and enemy of society. They may expend a great deal of eloquence ia en deavoring to do this, but they will signally fail "Nor florid proie, nor honey'd lies of rhyir.e, Can blazon evil deeds or consecrate a crime." When M'Kim was executed for murder in the neighboring town of Hollidaysburg, a few years ago. he had no sympathizers in this community. No one was heard contending that it was wrong to put him to death. "As a murderer he deserved his fate," was the aentiruent expressed by all. All felt and ac knowledged, that unless the crime of murder was promptly and rigorously punished no man's life would be safe. We therefore na turally presume, that it will be unanimously conceded bj the people of this country, that Brown's fate was the well merited punishment of guilt, a hundred fold worse than M'Kims. lie was not content with a single victim. His design wa3, by inciting a servile insurrection ia the South, to procure the murder, without regard to age, sex or condition, of the inhab itants of the Slaveholding States. In attemp ting to carry out this plan, he committed in tha Staia of Virginia the crimes of Murder, Treason, Burglary and Jobbery. We have fallen oa evil day3 iadecJ, if tha pecpla of the Northern States are williog to regard such a wretch as a Philanthropist and Martyr in the cause of humanity. Was hi3 cocduct not rather that of a fiend incarnate, an infernal nature, clothed in the habiliments of human ity fatally beet on performing his duty as the Ambassador cf the Arch fiend oa earth? His sympathizers in order to extenuate or at least palliate his guilt, tell U3 thai he was insane. This of course would be a good plea, if sustained by sufficient evidence; but unfor tunately there is no such evidence in exis tence. It is an easy matter to assert that every murderer that has polluted the earth from Cain to John Brown was msane; but it is another matter to prove it His plaa was too well devised, and displayed too much skill and judgment, to havo originated in the brain of a madman. In attempting to carry it out, he acted with proper caution, and with a de gree of firrnneis and judgment, sufficient to show that his mental faculties were unclou ded ai the time. If he had been successful Da one would havo asserted or even suspected that he was insane. The old man himself sneered at the idea, and his able and eloquent counsel had too much eens9 during his trial to urge such a plea in his behalf. On this point the testimony cf his wife who is said to be a very sensible wouiaa is important. We therefore clip the following from an account of an interview of a lady with Mrs. Brown which appeared ia the Weekly Xew York Tribune of the 2fth ult: 'I then put the question which I had been chiefly BOhcitou3 to adk: "It is the common talk of the newspapers that Capt. Brown is insane; what do you say to that opinion?" "I never knew," she replied, "of his in sanity, until I read it ia the newspapers. He U a clear headed man. He has always been and now is entirely in his right mind. He is always cool, deliberate, and never over hasty; but he baa alwave considered that his firbt perceptions of duty, and his first impul I ses to action were the best, and the safest to be followed. He has almost always acted upon his first suggestions No. he is not in sane. His reason is clear, nis last act was the result, as nil his other acts have been, of his truest and strongest conscientious coavic tiots." After these statements, supported as they are by other and abundant evidence, how can any man believe that Capt. Brown is insane? His project is easily characterized as mad, as any other daring and hazardous exploit is apt to be called, particularly after it is seen to have failed. But the attempt for the deliver ance of the Virginia slaves did not seem rash to Capt. Brown or to his confederates, and, if it had been successful, would never havo seemed crazy, even to the" newspapers. John Brown's insanity means simply John Brown's failure." It has been repeatedly asserted by Repub lican newspapers, that cruel treatment re ceived by Brown and his family while resi ding in Kansas from pro-slavery men, mail cned him tnd induced him to seek revenge by endeavoricg to stir up a servile insurrection iu Maryland and Virginia. Hear what his wife says on this point, in the conversation from which we take the above extract: "I referred incidentally to the design upon Harper's Ferry as having been premeditated for two year, to which she immediately re plied: NCT FOIi TWO TEARS. BIT FOR TWESTt! He had been waiting twenty years for some opportunity to free the slaves; we had all been waiting, wiih him, the proper time when he should put his resolve into action, and when at last the enterprise of Harper's Ferrv was planned, we all thought that the time had now come; Mr. Brown was sanguine of suc cess; we all were equally confident; he had no idea, nor had any of the family, that the ex periment would result in defeat; we all looked to it as fulfilling the hope? of many years!" Thus it appears from the statement of Brown's wife, and what higher evidence could we have, that the insurrection was "preme ditated for twenty years." For twenty years was he engaged in devising his plan to pro cure the murder of the white inhabitants of the Southern States, the dissolution of the Union and the distructiou of the only truly Republican Government on the face of God's earth! Will not all sensible, unionlovicg patriotic and conservative American citizens, whether Democrats or Republicans, agree with us iu saying that the world is well rid of such a monster? 5? As Mr. Buchanan is a statesman and a patriot, we respectfully inform our neigh bor of the Alleghunian, that he is the verv man we would like to see carrying the flag of the Democratic Party next year. But, as everybody knows, he does not desire a re nomination for the Presidency. However, it is highly probable that like a certain individ ual our friend Magehau tells about, "if it is put on him, he'Jlhave for till take it." If he was a sectional demagogue, iosread of being a national and conservative statesman, he would of course be a decided favorite with all the Abolition Brown worshipping Editors in the Republic. With regard to Stephen, we commit him without our blessing to the ten der mercies of the Charleston Convention, sincerely hoping that he won't be nominated. If the Convention places its cani'""""Lpn a thoroughly Democratic platform, of .Jte all sincere Democrats will cheerful5f support him By the way, how does that hoary head ed Iseariot, called Simon Cameron, who is the first choice of the Biack Republicans of this State for the Presidency suit our neigh bor of the Allejhaniun.

The military assembled at nine o'clock, and were poited on the field leading to the place of execution, and also at the various points, as laid down in the general orders. Every thing was conducted under the strictest mili tary discipline, as if the town was ia a state of seige. Mounted scouts were stationed in the woods, to the left of the scaffold, and picket guards were stationed cut towards the Shenandoah mountains in the rear. The mil itary on tho field formed two hollow squares. Within the inner one was the scaffold, and between the inner and outer lines the citizeus were admitted, no one being allowed outside the lines except the mounted guards. At 11 o'clock the prisoner was brought out of the Jail, accompanied by Sheriff Campbell and his associates, and Captain Avis, the jailor. A small waon, containing a white piae cof fiu, was driven up. on which he took a seat. Six companiis of infantry and rifle, and one company of horse, and general an 1 staff, num bering twenty-five officers, headed the pro cession and moved towards the place of exe cution. The prisoner was accompanied by no minister, desiring no religious ceremonies, cither in jail or on the scaffold. He looked calmly around on the people, and mounted the scaffold with a firm step. His arms were pin ioned by the Sheriff, ha bid farewell to Cap tain Avis and Sheriff Campbell, and at half past eleven o'clock the trap of tho scaffold was palled away, and with a few slight strug gles John Browu yielded up his spirit. The body was placed in the coffin, and i3 now on the way to Harper's Ferry to be delivered to his wife, under a strong military escort. Charleston. December 2. The reporter of the Associated Press telegraphed yesterday to Governor Wise for permission to atteud the execution: The reply was, that the Governor declined to acceed to the request No facili ties will be extended to reporters.

It is at last decided that the new mammoth steamer is, notwithstanding her great size, by no means exempt from the ill that ordi nary ships are heir to Tha directors having decided that the vessel should go to South ampton there to receive the finishing touches necessary to her completion, she left Holly head haibor on the 3d instant. Ia steering clear of Welsh coast, the Great Eastern p-it out far enough to sea to give those oa board a taste of life on the ocean wave. It was sud- poed that the steamer would ride upon th I . -.i . . waves without rolling or pitching like ordina ry vessels, but this anticipation was doomed to disappointment. Oa the 4th the chairs and tables began to be unsteady, to reel to and fro like a drunken man, and be at their wit's ends. The crockery followed, and cups saucers and dishes rushed furiously to des- truct,on against tho pantry walls, and were "asiied to pieces like a potter's vessel.

The Louisville Courier of Tuesday says that the citizens of Frankford. the capital of the State, and Versailles, in Woodford coun ty , has been excited for some days, .ut Ly no means alarmed, it a report of a threat ened rising of the negroes in those coun ties. On Saturday a dispatch from Harper's Ferry Va , advised the Mayor of Frankfort that the negroes, at the instigation cf some white fcoundrels, designed au attack on that city and Versailles; and when these places fell, it was their intention to devastate the country around. The information was obtained through an intercepted letter from an Abolitionist named Day, addressed to Ossawatiomio Drown. The intelligence was so direct and of such an alarming character, that Mr. Hunter, the Prosecuting Attorney at Charlestown. Va.. deemed it his duty to advise the authorities of Frankfort as above. Immediately on its reception, the Mayor of Frankfort called the Trustees together, to de vise means to avert such a calamity.
