PlaAJjr TAJiK, la tha Gazette of Monday, appealed an article on the subject of "Democratic State poll ey," which contained some statements that seem to merit attention. Tha readers of tba Gatette need not ba told that It ia, and has been for soma time past, immovably fixed in its opposition to any further aid from the state to railroads.

This exposition has beea ax-pressed in terms so positive as to leave BO room for a doubt in regard to its position on this subject, or in regard to lu fixed determination to oppose any democrat who shall dare to advocate a different policy. Tha Oaxette is bow determined to regard ao ansa as a TBIAL, OF TBS ElBPIBn FIBBY BIOTIBS. BROWN'S SPEECH PREVIOUS TO HIS SENTENCE. Els ESxaoution Fixed for December fid. COPPEE FOCND GUILTY.

Charlestown, Nov. 2. Russell and Leunott, attorneys from Boston, reached here to-day. Cook was brought before tbe Magistrate's Court, but waived an examination. He was committed for trial.

Coppee's trial was resumed. No witnesses were called for the defense. Mr. Harding opened tbe argument for the Commonwealth, and Hoyt and Griswold followed for the defendant. Mr.

Hunter closed for the prosecution. The speeches were of marked ability. Mr. Griswold asked for several instructions, which were granted. Brown was then brought into the Court House, which was immediately thronged.

The Court gave its decision on the motiou to arrest judgment, overruling the objections made. Ou 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 objections as to the form of verdict rendered, were also regarded as insufficient. Tho clerk then asked Brown whether he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced, when Brown stood up, and in a clear and distinct yaudssriaajavuae.

B0 I twtoMi otya NUMBER 28. OIP MOW. Our temporaries generally aaa "having their say" in regard to old Brawn his frienda generally making light of his enterprise, and merry over tba faot that aevauteaa bold, daring, chivalrio aboKtioista, anaided and alone, captured tbe village of Harper's Ferry, and mads prisoners of its inhabitants) while thosa towards whom old Brown was acting in enmity insist upon regarding the matter ia a mora serious light Wa are not. inclined to leasee tba mirth of oar Repitblioaa broth era, nor to defend tha six thousand who wars surrounded aad captured by tha Gov. Wise has characterised them as a flock of sheep, and the Republicans have taken up tha word, and tba reputation of tha Old Dominion is destroyed forever.

Ws regret, however, that onr northern friends view tha matter in no other light than tbat of ridicule, and believe the South is right in regarding it as an indication of unfriendliness between tha two sections, and as only a premonition of ths great civil strife in which tha impressible conflict doctrines of Seward, Sumner, Iiala, Giddings and Lincoln must eventuate. One body of men in ths North a distinct political organisation, rejoicing in such leaders as Gerritt Smith, Giddinga and Wendell rhillipa openly proclaim their sympathy with Brown, and de fend ths right, and proclaim tha duty of tha negro to rebel against and slay bia in as tar. They tell us that the only matter of regret is tbat Brown was not successful, and that a bloody civil war was not initiated. Another party tha Republicans professing greater conservatism, say that Brown was wrong, but that he was goaded to his action at Harper's Ferry by wrongs that bad beea inflicted by individual pro-slavery men in Kaaaas. Con servatism once meant tba principle of preserv ing existing institutions.

Jhs word, however, ia now used to expreaa altaoat anything with which one wishes to saddle it, Of lata days tha most approved definition appears to be a compromise between good and evil a sort of half-way ground bstweea right and wrong. V) ith this understanding of tha meaning of ths word, tha Republicans set op their claim as a medium between northern fanaticism and rational patriotism a golden calf which air must fall down and worship, or bs kicked out of ths sanctuary. Still another party ths great body of the South regard the outbreak at Harper's Ferry as an Indication of enmity on the part of tha North to tha Institutions of the South, and as a forerunner of bloody fight for couqueat and supremacy on the one aide, and independence sod self-proteotiou on ths other. Looking at it with this view, it ia no wonder that ths South il indignant at the ravings of Wendell Phillips aud tba complicity of Gerritt Smith, and no wondor it refuses to joia in the laugh with Corwin eV Co. The South regards the Union as at stake, aud haa too sincere a regard for its interest and perpetuity to joia ia ths rejoicings of its enemies, or to laugh at danger with those who are indifferent to its welfare.

To say that ths Harper's Ferry arair was the crazy effort of a few lunatics, ia, on the part of tha Republican party, a very plausible way of getting rid of tha charga of affording them aid and comfort, That the mass of the forty ra free of intentionally countenancing so gross an outrage, we admit; but the case stands simply tb.ua The party are pledged to certain principles and sentiments, of which Wilson, and Seward, and Lincoln, are exponents. Tbey say there is antagonism between free and slave labor, and that in tha nati ra of things there moat be strife until one section overmmet th other, and tha Union becomes all free or all slave. Tbey also tell their northern supporters that tha principle of slavery as held ia ths South would enslave the poor to ths same ngre that the negroes af now enslaved, Were A not for tha accidental presence of Ts this not teaching ths lesser lights of tho Republican party that a slate of warfare exists between the two'tntereats, and that whatever one does to injurs the other is lustifiabls and right? Is it hot teaching them (falsely) that tVs principle of African slavery 'has a tendency to degrade and enilavs them, thereby engendering hats to the South, aad stirring hp that fanati cism which has come (town to them from the pilgrim fathers, and thus producing such feeble and foolish endeavors as that of Brown? The Republican mora than Giddings or Gerritt Smith, art ths causes of ths late insurrection at Harper's and the same doctrine preached np In Missouri may lead to a like resnlt. Such papers al ibose in our State, which cloak their abolitionism under tba name of free labor, are efficient workers In ths cause of insurrection, and ahless watched may at any moment create as much consternation among ourselves as haa recently existed in Virginia and Maryland.

The vote of tbe first, last year, ia set down at 000, of tha second at 230,000, and of tba last at 60,000.

To these last mentions, ths Herald says, may be added a reserve of 80,000 Americans, and 25,000 whilom Republicans, making an available vote of 12S.000, for tho Independent Ticket. Bennett thinks anil hopes tha Inde pendents will triumph. Us sayi that tha New York Democracy is mads ip of "ths COtTOp-tious, treacheries and rascalities of the Democratic Albany Regency and tba revolting rowdy tactics and iruttrutnenU of Tammany HalU" that tha Repubueaos are thoroughly "siictiooalised," and that both should bs defeated by "having thair, heads knocked to gether" by ths Independents.

The Attack upon and Murder of the Howard Emigrant. Mrs. Frances A. Digges, of this county, furnishes the Banner with the following letter from Mrs. Bettie Shepherd, (her daughter,) who was one of the part" of Howard emigrants that suffered so terribly from an attack by the Indians between this and California.

The entire party was from Howard, and were all well known. Mrs. Shepherd's letter will be read with interest: Ione Citt, Sept. 12, 1859. Dear Ma, Uncle, Brother! and Sister After along aud tedious journey, we arrived in Ione City the 10th of September, 8 o'clock at night.

On the 26th of July, between 8 and 9 oclock at night, we arrived at Cold Spring. When we arrived a train was encamped there; we were informed by them that the Indians had made an attack npoa them, killing one man aud wounding another, and carried off a good many cattle. Next morning, the 27th of July, we arose early and prepared to start; they came up and begged ns not to leave, that they thought there was danger, and to stay and help them get their cattle but our Captain thought it best for us to leave, and so we did, much against the entreaties of the then encaivped train. After we had gone shout two miles, some of our men looked back and saw that the Indians had attacked the train again, wounding one man and taking' off some more cattle we then wanted to go back and assist them but our Captain said he thought it best to go on we went a few miles further and entered the canon we traveled up the canon a few miles, when one ot vt m. Shepherd horses was taken sick, and fell we stopped a few minutes: the men were standing looking at the horse, I when we were suddenly fired upon killing our Captain, Ferguson Shepherd.

The war whoop was men given, followed uy a volley oi snots from each side of the rocky, bushy canon, killing Wm. Shepherd, Wm. biggs and Claborn Ruin, and wounding two men, one woman and child. Mr. Wright was mortally wounded, he lived nine days.

1. M. Smith was slightly wounded the shoulder Mrs. Wright was badly wounded but not fatally; her baby's thigh was broken by being whirled against a rock by a savage monster after the six men and one, woman were shot, Geo. Avery and James Ward secured a horse a piece, and tied sayiug that they would be killed it they re mained there another moment.

Iu a few moments George Parsous and McGuire left; the Indians were still firing upon us, I standing in the road with my baby in my arms, exposed to the merciless bullets that came whirling arouno me. I looked around aud saw Mr. Shepherd I called for him, and told him I thought we had better try and make our escape he said well. We started; myself, I. M.

Smith, Mrs. Annie Shepherd aud Mrs. Wright's little son; Mrs. Annie Shepherd's babe was also with us. The next that followed was Mr.

Shepherd. The Indians shot at us a good many times as we were going off. After we had gone a very short distance, Mrs. Annie Shepherd, being a very delicate woman, became weak and could proceed no further, so she secreted herself in some bushes by the wayside I. M.

Smith, ono of the wounded men, had her babe; but he became so weak from loss of blood, that he was compelled to hide in some brush. We then journeyed on. After we had gone two miles aud a halt, 1 owuson VV right overtook us, riding one of our mules; he said he was iu the wagon attending to the wounded brother, and he cut the mule from the wogon and made his escape. When he reached us I was almost exhausted I got on the mule, which was bare back, man fashion, and rode a very short distance I could not ride in that manner, so I dismounted again I walked between ten and twelve miles, bare-headed, bare-armed, and bare-necked, and carried mv babv part of the way. However, we reached camp aDout lour eiocs, quite exhausted we were taken in camp, and kindly treated.

About night, Mrs. Annie Shepherd came in camp she was almost like an insane, woman. hen sbe came in sight of the camp sbe was fired upon for an Indian but soon she was recognized as a white woman; she was soon assisted to the rami), and rtrouer restoratives applied her baby laid out all night five of the men went back, but did not get to the place ot slaughter. bey reported that they saw a good many Indians and did not think it right to proceed any further. All was excitement I Next morning we started on our journey again.

There were about 60 wagons and 250 men; we sent a guard on each side of tbe canon, one before and one behind the wagons. We traveled on without being disturbed we arrived at the place where the massacre was committed, near noon, hat a horrible view was this to witness I The dead lying all gored with blood, Mr. Wright, Mrs. Wright, ber son Joe, and ber babe were found to be still living. Cant.

G. Pierce had a wagon prepared for the dead, iu which they were placed, and the wounded properly cared tor. Our wagons were plundered of everything we had except my trunk, which contained our money. Our stock was taken, which numbered about thirty- four head, consisting ot horses, mares and mules. Mrs.

Ani.ie Shepherd's babe was also found it was very mnch sunburt and bruised by the brush. We traveled on until near night, but did not get through the canon. We stopped to bury the dead. We buried them as nice as we could, all four in one grave." The wounded were well attended to. We had a very good physician along, who attended to the wounded, Dr.

A. AV. Trader. The fight lasted abont tliree-fonrths of an hour. Our men fought bravely, but their balls fell harmless among the rocks and brush.

There were about fifty Indians. What I have written is a very correct statement of the fight just as it happened. liespecttully, BETTIE SHEPHERD. LATER FBOM E0SOPE. ARRIVAL OK TUB AMERICA.

Consols closed to-day at Second dispatch. The Zurich treaty stipulates that the ratifi cation of the treaty of peace shall be exchanged within fifteen days. ine runs lats intimates that JNspies, Spain, Portugal and Sweden are not likely to I members of the projected Congress. The London Tunes, l'ot and Herald are averse to England's joining it. The Pott Lord Pal Ae rsl oil's organ regards the Italian complication as very serious, and the situation of Napoleon very embarrassing.

It also thinks it certain that Romagna will be attacked by the Papal troops, and that at the first menace of an armed intervention iu the Duchies, Gar-ibaldia's troops will sweep away every vestige of the papal rule. The policy ot r-nglandin taking part in the Congress was being canvassed by the press, and generally the arguments were against it. The London Times and Herald are both averse to England's joining any European Congress on Italian affairs. The Loudon Pout asserts that it were idle and trifling with the influence of England and hopes of Italy to expect that English statesmen, at all worthy tbe name, would hazard his own reputation and the national honor entrusted to his care, by entering a Congress which the basis may be the execution ot the treaty. Tbe same journal, in another editorial, re gards the Italian complication as very serious, and tbe position oi napoleon extremely embarrassing.

He as undertaken the special protection of the Vapal Government, and also of Italian liberty, while the papal power and Italian liberty are in open warfare. It is almost certain that Romagna will be attacked by the papal troops. It is also certain that at tbe first menace of armed intervention in tha Duchies, the troops of Garibaldi will aweco before them every vestige of papal rule. these circumstances the intervention of Austria is anticipated. What part would ranee then play, and what extension would the Roman question then assume? The Pott concludes by saying that English statesmen will make efforts to avert the dangers which threaten Europe.

The whole number of electoral votes which will be cast for the next Presidency, counting in Kansas, will be Electoral Vote Necessary to a aw lot The question arises what candidate can secure this number ot votes? There are now, considering Kansas admitted, aa sbe certainly will be before the Presidential election, nineteen free States, with one hundred and eighty-six electoral votes, and fifteen slave states, with one hundred aud twenty electoral votes. A Democratic candidate, regularly nominated at Charleston, who should favor the protection of slavery in the Territories by Congressional slave-codes, which is the Mississippi doctrine, might carry every southern slave State save Maryland and Missouri, making one hundred and three electoral votes.

But such a candidate could not carry a single northern State, which fact of course disposes of all such can-dates. A candidate committed to the non-interference of Congress with slavery in the Territories unless the Territorial Legislatures refuse to grant protection to slave property, which is the Kentucky doctrine, would share tbe sainq fate as the Mississippi candidate. A candidate committed to the "Black-Pamphlet Theory," which is understood to be the Administration view of the subject, "Noninterference by Contjre, but inlrrferener. by the Lulled estate ledrral Vouru, would, as against an out-and-out Black Republican Irrepressible Conflict candidate, carry every southern State, giving him one hundred and twenty electoral votes, and mo more. Not a northern State could be carried for such a candidate.

Even California, in her last State Convention, repudiated this doctrine, and declared for absolnte Popular Sovereignty. Who, then, belonging to the Democratic party, can be elected, and on what principle, must he triumph As against Seward, Chase, Lincoln, Fremont, or any other Black-Republican candidate, with the "irrepressible conflict" issue which such a nomination would, necessarily, make, Douglas, with his popular sovereignty principles, would carry the following States No. of KlectursJ Vote.

It will be seen that we have taken the whole number of the electoral votes south, because should Douglas be the nominee of the Charleston Convention, no sane Republican would claim a single southern State. We start with oue hundred and twenty electoral votes conceded, aod we add the free States above named, with the same number of electoral votes oue hundred and twenty to be contested. But we only want thirty-four of these one hundred andtwenty free State votes added to the one hundred aud twenty conceded to elect our candidate. New York alone would elect him.

Ohio and Indiana would elect him. Illinois, Iowa, California, Wisconsin and Indiana, without New York, Ohio, or any other of the free Stales mentioned would elect hiin. Besides, we have an even chance of carrying Maine and Pennsylvania In addition to the above states. There ia not a candid, intelligent Democrat iu the north nor in tbe south, uor a sane Re publican anywhere, but who believes that if Senator Douglas should receive the nomina tion of the Charleston Convention, with tbe is sues which such nomination would secessarily attach to tbe contest, that he vxnild be elected bu an overtchelmina txtte. We aDneal to evorv man's candor and conscience for the truth of what we say.

And to snch a glorious national result would be added the triumph of a principle that would secure the ascendaucy of the Democracy in every free State of this Union. Watch and pray.

The Cincinnati Commercial informs the public that no iesa than four pastors are wanted for as many leading churches in that city, and gives a hint as to the reason, which may apply to other cities besides the "Queen of the West." Every congregatiou wants a Whitfield or a Chalmers, but not not every one is able or willing to pay for such a rarity "At the present time the pulpits of four prominent churches in this city are vacant, vie. that of the Seventh Presbyterian Church, ott Broadway; Second Disciples' Church, on Sixth, between Smith and Mound; the Second Presbyterian Church, on Fourth, between Vine and Race streets; and 8t John's (Episcopal) Church. Among the notable facta of our cap-rent local church history is the difficulty realized is procuring ministers who are equal to the standard of intellectual and spiritual excellence desired, we might say demanded, by the people.

The chief difficulty in the way seems to lie a disinclination On the part of our people to pay salaries proportionate with those paid in Eastern cities for the grade of ability in request here, and secondly, the scarcity of the sort of material wanted." Terrible Death. The London (Canada West) Free Vrexn mentious the burial on Wednesday, of the remains of William Brad-Shaw, a respectable farmer of that vicinity, who died under peculiarly afflicting circumstances: It appears that during August last, while walking to his home at night-time, a dog came up behind him, suapped at his leg and bit him, inflicting a wound. On the following day he visited London, when the wound was cauterized. Nothing occurred for several weeks, till, in consequence of sensations experienced, Mr. Bradshaw became convinced that he should die of hydrophobia.

Accordingly, he made proper dispositions, and had his bed so arranged that ha could be strapped on to it. He then appointed four neighbors to take charge of him when the fits came on. On Saturday last he stated his conviction that his end was approaching, and that at four o'clock on the following day he should die and his prediction was verified. At that hour he was seized with fits usual to persons laboring under tbe fearful disease, and suffering untold tortures, which ended in death. Intelligence has been received at the Agricultural Bureau of the United States Patent Office, that a large swarm of Lorn bard bees have been shipped from Havre.

He saw I was too childishly shy to answer distinctly; so, taking my murmuring words tor an affirmative, he added, "Now you are quite tired; you mast come in and rest." He led me by the baud into the parlor, where, even while we had been speaking, the old lady had again sunk into a doze. "You look inclined to ma away," he said; "but do not until I return; I will bring you some uicft fruit, and show you a miniature of the namesake for whom who were mistaken." CHAPTER II. His kind tones encouraged me. I heard afterwards that he had noticed from his study window my daily visits to the gate; and asking my aunt, whom he had known all his life, about me, learned from her many of what she called my odd ways. He was not long absent, and brought, as he had promised, some beautiful strawberries; he held also in his hand a dark-colored morocco case, which he promised to show me when I had eaten the fruit placed tor me on the table.

But he soon perceived, although my boldness in search of adventures had brought me into the midst of one, that I was now so painfully embarrassed as to be perfectly unable to swallow anything, he said? "Well, you must take them with yon; and now for the picture." He opened the case, and she -red me the likeness of a young girl, with hi hair, as far as I could judge, exactly the color ot myown. It was a fair, happy-lookiug face, with glad blue eyes, and a smiling, rosy mouth. "This is the Katty the old lady meant," he said. "You are not like her, after all; you are paler, and have browu eyes." Again my story-hunting propensity came over me. I looked up timidly at him.

and asked, "Who was she?" "She was my mother," he said, simply; "the only child of her who recollects her so long. She died when was born." How strauge it was, that staid, middle-aged man, with gray hair, to be the son of that young creature; and that bright lace, which made one glad almost to look upon it, to be tor all tbe years ot his lilo lying in the dark gravel 1 could not realize it at all. "You look puzzled, little one," he said; ii. i t. i iieverineiess, it is true ine gray-uaireu man, am the son ot the golden-haired girl, whose fair head wat laid iu the clay bo long ago; while the old mother is still letl to dream of her, and fancy back her image, even until now.

As he spoke she turned her head towards us 1 jvu u. school, Katty; Ralph will go with you. Lome, kiss me before you go. "Go, dear," said her grandson, "It will gratify her." And I went ami offered, though with some reluntance, my lips to hers. They were icy cold aud chilled me, though her caress was most affectionate but immediately after she stood up, put her hand on my shoulder, and gazing earnestly at me, said, in her sharp, que-relous tones "How is this Your eyes used to be blue, child it was Kalph were brown, iiut no matter," she added, wearily "go, go." 1 was, by this time, very glad to do as she desired and Mr.

Wilton saw as much, for he said, "Come, now I will release you." He put the strawberries in a little basket for me, the old lady taking uo further notice of us, walked with me to the gate, and shaking bands kindly with me, said, "You are not to be peeping in any more but come often aud see me, 1 will always have a book and some fruit for you." 1 scarcely know how I got home, I was so bewildered half frightened, half delighted at my singular adventure; and finding it impossible to decide whether or not I should venture back again before my return home, which was to be in a few days. However, it was decided for me without the necessity of my coming to any conclusion on the matter. Nearly the first sound I heard in the morui.ig was the voice of one dairymaid telling another the news. "Old Madam Wilton, mho has been so long childish, died iu her chair last evening." I returned home the day before the old lady's funeral, without having again seen her grandson. My aunt waa too busy about her early harvest to have lime to answer ray many questions concerning them; and it was under the care of a kind neighbor, who happened to have business iu that I returned home.

I was in despair, I should not be able to hear any thing of the Wiltons for a long time. But, in telling my dear mother how my time in the country haa been passed, my adventure at Abbey View was, of course, much dwelt on; and, to my great delight, she said immediately, "Ah! I recollect being taken there when 1 was a very little child, by some one, and getting bread and honey from a young lady in white with a blue sash. 1 remember thinking it queer she did not wear her hair as other peole of that time did it was not cut short aud curled ou ber forehead, but divided plainly, and fulling in long, bright curls behind her ears. Perhaps it was wearing yours in that fashion which made the old lady mistake you for her. "Ah I'' she added, "how time flies I that is much over forty years ago." "But how did she die I asked.

"I scarcely know, my child," she answered, 'I was too young at the time to hear anything, of it but I believe the story was a sad one. Oh I what longevenings I have spent in my favorite window, dreaming over and over again my interview with Madame Wilton, and imagining all sorts of histories for her daughter; but it was not for a long time after I heard the true one from my aunt, who knew and loved her, and was present at her death. "Katty Wilton," she said "I never willingly speak of her, which is the reason why you have not before heard of her from me. -Though rather above me in station, as we happened to be near neighbors, and about the same age, 1 a little elder, she was my dearest and earliest friend. She lived in the houae which seemed to possess such a charm for you, with her mother, a widow, whose only child she was.

They were very happy; not rich, but in easy circumstances, theironly relative being a young man about five years older than Katty, and her first cousin, Ralph Wilton, who, also an only child, was the son of her father's; elder brother, from whom he inherited a band-some fortune, and whose family seat, a place called The Grange, was situated about two miles from where they resided. "I believe," said my aunt, "I am, or at least have been, in my earlier days, a person of very strong prejudices; but, certainly, for a very long time after the death of Katty I disliked tbe verv sound of his name. But time softens the bitterest memory, and I have long ceased to remember him but as the clever, spirited boy who was our constant companion, and whose assistance Katty always sought for iu ber studies, or in our dearly loved out-door amusements. The idol of his aunt, who loved him even still more than she did her own beautiful child, she at once adored and destroyed him. Proud of the stately beauty of his appearance, his faults she either could not or would not see ever praising his generosity of mind and goodness of temper.

Yet, yonng as I then was, I could perceive how almost impossible it was for him to be ill-tempered, when he was carefully guarded from even petty aniioyances; or to display the obstinacy that 1 knew lurked within him, when every will in that small household bowed down before his own. But beneath an exterior manner which, united with his handsome, intelligent face, and fine form, would have charmed the most indifferent, lay a selfishness which, fostered by her over-indulgence, would accept almost any sacrifice for his own benefit; nay, more would even, in its blindness to the feelings of others, be scarcely aware that it was a sacrifice; and a stubborn will which, once aroused by opposition, would defy all efforts to influence, muoh more to dictate to it. TO BE COXTINUKDJ An Unfortunate Mistake. To wine and women is justly attributed many of the mis haps which daily befall man. The truth of this assertion is exemplified in our city yesterday.

A "prominent citizen," who has recently been very assiduous in his attention to a certain lady, volunteered to send her a basket of choice wine, jnsl received from tbe importers. Tbe beverage was dispatched in charge of a blundering porter, to whom was intrusted a note informing the lady that the donor would call and spend the evening. Most unfortunately for all parties, the basket was delivered at the Wrong number a house occupied by a savagely jealous man and his beautiful w'ife al ine. The basket and letter fell into the hands of the gentleman, who, burning with a desire for vengeance, called upon the generous youth, and, without as much ceremony "as by your leave," gave him a sound "punching." After tbe flagellation had been artistically administered, an explanation ensued, which we trust was satisfactory to both parties. We are not advised whether lady ha yet received her allowance of wine.

CVnctit-nati Enquirer. the tradesman passiag slowly homewards, bearing the instruments of his craft, or the laborer thoae of liis toil the mothers collecting their reluctant children from their play to bed the still shadow of the houses on the opposite quay reflected ia the clear water the gray twilight, ever deepening into darkness over all, untH the round moon rising, or the bright stars peeping each after from the deep blue sky, it (although in all the bright beauty of summer) became night indeed. I have often since seen evening stealing over a landscape in the country but to me, the town-bred, it never gave the same cairn idea of the close of day, as when I watched it from my own old window at borne. 1 was. nearly thirteen years old before my parents'conld tie pursuaded to part with me, even for a brief time; however, they were at length induced to permit me to pay a short visit to the aunt already mentioned.

I was very glad myself to go; aud yet, on the morning of my departure, I felt so sorry as to be almost ou the point of begging to be let stay but it was too late then to change my mind, and the close of a warm July evening found me descending the steep hill, at the foot of which nestled the pretty cottage farmhouse which, for the next month, was to be my home. Unused to traveling, I was too tired on my arrival to notice any thing but the affectionate welcome of my kind old relative, and was soon asleep in a little white bed, where I woke iu the morning to see the bright roses peeping in at me through the little casement (how- glad I kit it was a casement, uud not a stiff sasn window!) of my room, lhey seemed inviting me out to play with them in a large, old-fashioned ganlcu, which was their birthplace; and was Soon among them, running through the walks, and gathering the fresh strawberries with which they were bordered every thing new and delightful to me, a happy, easily amused child. Here again my fate of beius eonipanionlcss pursued me. I was the inmate of a widowed and a childless home and. although a larsre family of cousins resided about a mile distant from my aunt place, she steadfastly refused permission for me to visit them, even for a day, saying 1 was in her charge, and should not leave her until she gave me up safely again to my mother.

But in a week I was quite familiar with the entire neighborhood the immediate neighborhood I mean, and rambled about it pretty much as I pleased. I saw the grand old castle, of the lords and ladies, of which I had heard so much, towering in its gray sternness above its surrounding trees. 1 visited its old well, and ran down the hundred steps which led to it, peeping with awe into the subterranean passage, by means of which the lady of the castle, in Cromwell's time, sent a message to her absent lord; and bravely held out against Ireton until he was able to come to her relief. I saw the farmhouse into which, in the time of the Irish Faction fights, an aged man was pursued, and bad his head chopped off on his own hearthstone. I looked at the pretty little churchyard, which I was told was removed in one night by the fairies, from one side of the river to the other; and visited the ivied ruins of the old abbey ot so beautiful in their geutle decay, my very breathing growing soft as I trod lightly beneath its arches, and read the half-illegible inscriptions on the broken tombs, wherein the bones of past generations lay awaiting the call which was to clothe them again with their flesh, and to give back to them again the eyes "wherewith they were to see their Saviour." I pictured to myself scenes from the pride and the prostration of the old place; musing upon its foundation and its fall.

Yet, with a strange waywardness, my fancy would withdraw itself from these more marked places, to fix itself on one spot apparently having no interest fur any one but myself. It was a house situated on the top of a hill on the opposite side of the river which almost washed the abbey walls; to reach which we had to cross a high, old-fashioned bridge, and ascend a steep, ruggid hill. This I did, day after day, for the mere purpose of gazing in through the large iron gate which, between two pillars of redatone, anrmouuted by two moss-grown and weather-stained urns, formed its entrance. There was a smaller gate for foot passengers, but no lodge. The house itself was also built of redstone, the corners and wiudows being faced with white.

It had a high, slanting roof, with tall chimneys, and stood very little in from the road, on a smooth green lawn, through which a stiff, formal-looking path led straight up to the hall-door. There were no trees or flower-beds near it, as are generally seen; and as I never saw any person about the house or grounds, it had to me a singularly mysterious appearance. I asked more than once, who lived there? and was told, earelessly. it was "Abbey View Ralph Wilton's place;" nothing more. Yet no amount of carelessness could divest it of its interest for me; and wander where I would, some time of the day found me with my face pressed against the gate, gazing curiously at the lonely and deserted-lookiug mansion.

At length (it was a few days before the day appointed for my return home) as I reached the old entrance, to my surprise the smaller gate was ajar; and more, the hall-door, and what I supposed the windows of a parlor beside it, were open. If Shakspeare speaks truly, that "Nice custom curtseys to great kings," 1 certainly on this occasion obliged her to perform a similar act of reverence to "great" curiosity, my anxiety to get one little peep into the interior of this stringe place becoming so absolutely uncontrollable that, setting aside all propriety, I entered the open gate, and approached the spot around which my fancy had so long hovered. I had a vague idea of asking the way to some place, if any one met and questioned nie but, only a vairoe one as. like a Derson in a dream. I advaneed up the path which led to the house.

I paused before one ot tbe windows, and have only to close my eyes even at this moment, after the lapse of many years, to have the scene before my dreaming, as vividly as it then appeared before my waking, vision. it was a large, square room, tne wans ot which were stained green; the floor was un- earpeted, but white as snow, aud neatly sanded; there was a creeping plant of some kind suspended in a flower-pot from the top of one window, aud a cage with a brown linnet iu it from the other. There was a queer looking, old fashioned sofa, (or settee, I believe it was called,) covered in a bright-colored chintz. It had two turned off arms, but no back, and seemed to mo to be quite as stiff and uncomfortable as the high-backed, mahogany chairs, which, with three or four tables, were ranged formally around the room; hile about a halt-dozen pieces oi needle work done in chenil, on what must once have been white satin, and bearing the initials K. W.

in the corners- decorated the walls. There were also some book-shelves on one the window I could read the names of the books. They were a volume of the "Gentleman's Magazine," "Burnet's History of his own Times," "1h Plessis Memoirs, some volumes of the and "Til-lotson's Sermons." There was a large china bowl filled with rose-leaves on one of the ta bles, and on the chimney-piece were three in verted cuds (with their saucers laid carefully on them,) two tall glass vases (with a thick stripe like white tape twisting through them) filled with lavender, and above it a small oval mirror, with a few peacock-feathers stuck behind its tarnished frame. A slanting column of snrjieams filled the centre of the apartment, and a bee flying alwut made the stillness of the summer noon more marked by its drowsy hum but chiefly, and above all, in a large arm chair, (covered with chintz like the sofa,) reclined an old lady. As she sat she seemed small nearly as a child with the neatest of little quiuea cap-ooraers pinned beneath her chin, and a small white muslin cloak upon her shoulders.

A a I waa still leaning on tus window seat, gazing in my bonnet hinging by its strings upon my arm, she suddenly awoke and, fixed ber eyes upon my face. She did not seem in the least surprised on seeing me, but said, Natty i nome so suou, emm Kattv I It was actually my own namt: how did she know me? In my fright nd confusion I was about run away, when, to increase my astonishment, a hand' was laid on my on covered head; and looking round, I saw a gen tleman, evidentlya clergyman, sianuing oemu i m.

CHAPTER I. I recollect myself, at eight rears old, reading over and over again, with a pleasure never since derived from any other species of enjoyment, the two solitary books within my reach namely, the "Pilgrim's Progress," and the "Citizen of the World. Strange books, perhaps, particularly the latter, for a child; but there was a story in it about a certain Prince. Bonbobbin-Bontiebbio-Boobobbinet, and his adventures iu search of a white mouse with green eyes, which had a never-failing charm for me. And I was also, singularly enough, capable of understanding the delicate humor of poor Goldsmith's unrivalled sketch of "Beau Tibbs," sufficiently so at least to be amused at the harmless vanity of the poor little butterfly and to enter more fully into the philosophy of his remark, "If all the world laugh at me, I laugh at all the world," than the gentleman-in-black, in his annoyance at being made ridiculous, felt inclined to do.

But if these exquisite essays pleased me, where, ont of Fairyland, shall I find language calculated to express my delight on reading the pages of Bun-yan that almost inspired dreamer? The mere idea of attempting it throws meinto the Slongh of Despond. Enough, I more than performed his journey with Christian for the time being, I was Christian himself; and, although, I had the entire book nearly by heart, it was no light sorrow to me when some chance visitor at our home borrowed and never returned it. I have spoken of a visitor, but it was rarely indeed a stranger was found "within our gates." I do not recollect more than three who were in the habit of calling on us. One, a classical teacher, an odd, but very learned old man, who taught me to read French; next, a music master, whom I detested, and who felt with equal kindness towards me; I had no taste, either natural or acquired, for music. I hatred the drudgery of practice, and was, I am sure, the most stupid and troublesome pupil he had.

We. parted, after three years of mutual dislike and annoyauce, with (I will answer, at least, for myself) a sincere resolution "to meet as little as possible." Lastly, an old great-aunt, who came twice a year from the country, to make purchases, and to whose visits I looked forward with joyful expectation, as she possessed a wonderful stock of stories about the old families and places in her neighborhood; ami, better still, loved to relate them to so eager and attentive a listener as sbe a'wayg found iu me. Indeed, a very slight allusion to, or remark on, past times, was sufficient to render her talkative; and I can, with truth, say that I have never found her garrulity tedious or uninteresting. I (an only child) nccer had a friend or companion of jny own age; and, consequently, Lmo- muiDletelv thrown back on myself for amusement, I early became, what I have ever since continued to ne; namely, a connrmcu day-dreamer. I have since beard it said that people living at that time in our neighborhood used to pity what thev considered my loneliness.

But, if any one tad expressed that feeling for me then, I think I should have been surprised. I was not lonely. When 1 got a now book by any chance, read it eagerly; when 1 did not get one, I fell back on my old library; laughed again with the Bean, washed bis "two shirts with his wife, or (albeit myself a born papist) slew the giant Popery with Christian. But chiefly and beyond even when reading, to use that most expressive line of Burns "I ha', been happy thinking. We lived on one of the long, open quays of the city of so that the river was always within view: and there was.

from one par ticular window of oar house, a glimpse of it winding tar away oetween two onoges into too country, of which there was also an imitation, in the shape of a green marsh, used for graz ing and resting the cattle intenaea tor our market; and even one real 6eld, high and very far off, where, sometimes in the harvest, by straining my eyes very much, I could see men reaping. The summer time always found me, evening after evening, seated in this window, watching night as it slowly closed over the crowded city. Fr-fetched as the idea may seem, it always reminded me of a child sinking softly to sleep everything so tended to express that day was ended the gradual ceasing of the sounds caused by the stir and traffic of a large bnsy town, as the rolling of the different vehicles, those of business or pleasure; the hushing of the various street cries, which form, as it were; the hoarse voice of a city detect itatc. sound democrat who shall favor tha "present State policy."

Wa will here do Die opposition tbe just ice to any uiat a portion oi tueir press ana some of their leaders are not favorable to farther legislation of a kind with that under which the State has been so grossly wronged. But while we can say this much, it ia obvious that it is from that side of the houae the support of our system must come. We say now, and do so with confidence, that the advocacy of this system, or a proposition to extend it, will be fatal to the prospects of any Democrat, whatever his position and power in the past may have been. We are aware that there arc those claiming to be Democrats who take the converse of this position, but we will ba excused for saying they are of doubtful orthodoxy.

Indeed we regard them as sores upon the body politic; as cancers consuming tbe very vitality of the party. We should therefore purge our organization of them. If we would overthrow the opposition and put down error by marshaling the masses iu strength as of yore, we must learn again to elothe our leaders in tha panoply of Democracy and eschew tbosa doctrines aud heresies Which, though it may offend some, are in direct subversion of our creed aod at war with the best good of the State. It is one of the errors of weak minds to abandon sound principles 10 carry sections. Strength thus gained is but weakness, as tha condition of the party now fully attests.

Wa are for a return to our earlier and more fortunate precedents. And inch are the sentiments' of the masses of the party." The party it seems has been wandering about after falsa gods, and the Gatcltt is determined to bring it back to the true faith, i.ac opposition to state aid for internal improvements. It will certainly require some "ground and lofty tumbling" for some of the leading democrats to get back to the position which the Oazette would have them occupy; but then, it must be done, says the Gazette, or they may expect to suffer the consequences. The Gazette next, pitches into tho Jlepvbli-can in such style as might be well calculated to excite tbe ire of a subjectless phlegmatic After quoting a paragraph from that sheet, it says: "The Republican may be the Cyropheus of the St. Louis press, and may lead tbe army of sappers and minora of the State Treasury, but in attempting to dictate to tha Democratic party its impudence ia unparalleled and wilt not be tolerated.

It should remember that, in the language of Col. Benton, it is only a neo-phite in the Democratic camp a fledgling upon which the shell still The party will probably go else whore tor counsel, at least wa beg to do so. Tbe pride of that paper and tbat city has become What can the Republican say in reply bow can it sufficiently express its rags and resentment? But hear what further our neighbor has to say "It is high time that tha Democratio party should shuffle off the responsibility of St. Louis legislation, and return to sound principles. It is not yet too late to redeem the State from some of the consequence of tha unwise and auti-Dcmocratic government which all sound thinkers must deplore.

Through the instrumentality of divisions in our ranks and of weakbackeo members of our party, the State has been wellnigh given up to railroads aad monied corporotions. Ana however at variance such legislation may ba from the theory and correct practice of our party the Democracy will be sought to be held responsible for iu coo sequences. I ft as at once act about the work of Inonetbing we can certainly express a hearty agreement with the Gazette, via that "it is high time that the Democratic party9 should "return to sound We it is true, very little faith in their doing so, bat should like to see them try it would be re freshing something new under the aim, and worthy of most conspicuous mention in all tba sensation papers in the country. The (kuette has struck the right chord at laat, and its best friends will no doubt wish ft to ccntinus play-' ing on it, as long as thorn is a hope of produ cing the desired resnlt. It may, at all events, succeed in bringing itself back "to sound principles," if it should produce no effect apoa anybody else.

We do not propose, at present, to raise a discussion with the Gazelle npoo the 'State policy," about which Ft has so much to but we should like, aa a matter of curios-' to know what course our neighbor intends to pursue in tlie'next general election. Nearly i.U the democrats in the State are in favor, under certain conditions, of granting further State aid to the roads have ao expressed themselves and are not likely to recede from their present position ou this sub. ject. Now, what will the Gatctte do in case such an one should 1e nominated and rua as the Democratic candidate for Governor? Would it support him, or would it, in such a case, run a candidate of its own, who had man aged to get back to "sound principles," in spite of the convention ami every body else. From the intimations thrown out in the article from which we have quoted, it seems not impossible that the Gazette may yet be ranked aa an opposition paper, at least ao far as State politics are concerned.

Jtut bufore going to Press we are informed of tha aocidental death of one of our oldest and most esteemed cinV sena, SamaeJ Foster, Sen. Tha deceased came to his death by being tossed fro as bis wagon while the same was descending a hill soma miles east of this place. He fell headlong upon the double-tree of his wagon and front that npoa the ground ia such a position that both wheels of tha wagoa passed over his chest, producing almost instant death.

His horses were going at a rapid gait aad his wagoa passed over a short but sadden descent Ta the toad where tha accident -vnearred. The eoamanity baa lost an estimabla oitisen, and his family aad other relatives a devoted friend. The latter have oar sincere eocdolanna la i. ,1 voice, said "I have, may it please the Court, a few words to say. In the first place, I deny everything but what I have all along admitted, the desigti on my part to free the slaves.

I inten ded, certainly, to have made a clean thing of that matter, as i did last winter when I went into Missouri, and there took the slaves without the snapping of a gun on cither side, moved them through the country, and finally left them in Canada. I designed to have done the same thing again on a large scale. That was all I intended. I never did intend to commit murder or treason, or to destroy property, or to excite or incite the slaves to rebellion, and to make an insurrection. "I have another objection, aud that is, it is unjust that 1 should suffer such a pcnaltv.

Had I interfered in the manner which I admit has been fairly proven, for I admire the truthfulness and candor of the greater portion of tbe witnesses who have testified in this case had I so interfered in behalf of the rich, the powerful and the intelligent, the so called, great, or in behalf of their friends, either father, mother, brother, sister, wife, children, or any of that class, and suffered and sacrificed what I have in this interference, it would have been all right. Every man in this court would have deemed it an act worthy of reward rather than punishment. This courtac-knowledges, as 1 suppose, the validity of the law of God. 1 see a book kissed here which I suppose to be the Bible, or at least the New Testament. That teaches me that 'all things whatsoever I would that men should do to me, should do I even so to It teaches me further, 'to remember, them that are in bonds as bound with I endeavored to act i up to that instruction.

I say I am yet too young to nndentand that God is any respecter of persons. I believed that to interfere as I have done, as I have always freely admitted I have dotie, in behalf of his despised poor, was no wrong, but right. Now it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my lifo for tbe furtherance of tbe ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children, and with the blood of millions in this slave country, whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments. I admit, so let it be done. "Let me say one word further.

I feel entirely satisfied with the treatment I have received on my trial. Considering all the circumstances, it has been more generous than I expected, but I feel no consciousness. I have stated from the first what was my intention and what was not. I never had any design against the life of any person nor any disposition to commit treason or excite the slaves to rebel or make any general insurrection. I never encouraged any man to do so, hut always discouraged any idea of that kind.

Let me also sav something in regard to the statements made by some of those connected with me. I hear it has been stated by some of them that I have induced them to join me; but the contrary is true. I do not say this to injure them but as regretting their weakness. Not one joined me but of his own accord, and the greater part at their own expense. A number of them I never saw and never had a word of conversation with till the day they came to me, and that was for the purpose I have stated.

Now I have done." While Brown was speaking perfect quiet prevailed. When he had finished, the Court proceeded to pronounce tho sentence. After a few prelimi lary remarks, in which he said no reasonable doubt could exist as to the pris oners guilt, he sentenced him to be hung, in public, on Friday, the second of December. Brown received the sentence with composure. The only demonstration made was with the clapping of hands by one roan who did not live in Jefferson county.

This was promptly suppressed, and much regret was expressed by the citizens at its occurrence. Alter being out an hour, the jury in the case of Coppee returned with a verdict declaring him guilty on all the counts of the indictment. His counsel gave notice of motion to arrest judgment, as in Brown's case. 1 he Uourt then adjourned. NEWS By LASTKIOHT'S MAIL.
