Tbe Court met at ton o'clock this morning. Ooppec was brought in. Previous to the proceeding to his trial, Mr. Ghiswolu stated the points on which an arrest of judgment was asked for In Brown's case. In addition to the reasons mentioned yesterday, he said It had not boon provod beyond a doubt that he (Brown) was oven a citizen of tbo United States, and argued that teason oould not bo oom nutted against a but only against the general government, citing tho authority of Judge Ptory; also stating tho jury had not found tho prisoner guilty or tho crimes as charged in tho indictment; they had not re sponded to the offences charged but found him guilty o' offences not charged.

They find him guilty of murdor in tho lirst degree, when tho indictment dou't chargo him with offences constituting that orlmo. Mr. Hrjrren replied, quoting tho Virginia codo, to Uio effect that technicalities should not arrest tbo administration of Jurtico. As to the Jurisdiction over treason, it was sufficient to say that Virginia had passed a law assuming that jurisdiction and defining what constitutes that crime. The Court reserved Its decision.

Mr. Brown was present during tho argument. The jury was sworn in Coppio's case. Tho testimony is the same as already publishod, but is more brief. The examination of witnesses for tho prosecution was not eluded at the adjourn meet.

Cook waived an examination before the MagbUratos' Court. Extraordinary Address of Wendell on tbe Insurrection. I Eulogy on Mwl Brown?

Ho woa announced to deliver the fourth lecture in the "Plymouth Course," and his Eubject was, "Lessons for tho Hour." was hinted that ho might allude to tho Harpers Forry plot, but wo venture to say that there wero not a dozen people in the liouso who had the slightest idea that ho would devoto an hour and a quurlrr to pranounce a glowing eulogium on Mid Brown.

(Mr. Td ton) had not consulted Mr. Phillips, but as for himteif, ho would nay if it could be proved that tlio Rrooklyn EvjU wan sane, he preferred to lemain crazy.

This late mat was received with great enthusiasm: THE ADPREKS OF Hit. PHILLIPS. Wexdku. Phujji's then rose to address the audience, and was so loudly applauded that ho was unable to proceed for some time. When silence was restored he as follows: Lai '1KB and Gkhtuquw I speak with tho sincerity when I say thnt I cannot expect to say anything to you on the subject of tho hour which you havo not al reudy henrd.

Tho subjoct is tho "Lesson of th Hour and moet emphatically, I think, the le-son of tho present honr is Insurrection. (Laughter Insurrection of thought always precedes Insurrections of arralos. The insurrection of thought has been going on in this country for the laBt twenty years, and now insurrection seems ontering on a new pilose of tho great roorai American struggle. There is a great tendency to fair play th it great English principle? at the bottom of our nature.

Itemed i as if Virginia was prostrate and conquered at Mu per Hirer- ry. Connecticut has sent out many good schoolmasters, but i she never before Kent any oqual to John Brown, born aj 1 Litchfield. His opposition to tyrants stands in noble com- parison with his obedience to Cod. (Applause.) I should not apply the word Insurrectionist to John Brown of Ossa- watcmle. There was no Insurrection In his actions.

It is a mistake to call 1dm an insurrectionist He opptfed the authority of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Comi monweaJth of there is no such thing.

The government that refuseB this is nono but a pirate ship. Virginia horself is to-day only a chronic insurrection.

1 meau exactly what 1 nay? I sider well my words and she is a pirate ship. John i Brown sails with letters of marque from Cod and Justice against every pirate he meets. He has twice as much right to hang Governor Wlso as Governor Wise lias to hang him. (Applause, and cries of Hear, 1 am speaking of the case as God views It, without oriuging to the corrupt morals of the nineteenth century.

(laughter) The tables aro turned now. Tbo baby shoot of civilization is mitnilesllug itself and appearing tU.i public. Civilization doeij work first; then violence, more impetuous than reason, lorgetiiug that it is but her successor, plunges forward iu favor of the popular sentiment in opposition to wrong without waiting tor tho more curtain operation of thought. You cannot expect a IMrltao fresh) tcrian as Brown 18? yes, ho is a regular old Crom welilan, dug upand pluccd in New England? you cannot expect that be daro not proclaim that it is wrong to aell a mau at auction. Wo have had a great dual that calls itself Christianity? American Christianity but this Christianity has not bad tho courage to fearlessly i set forth its principles.

John Browu? one man? with seventeen others, raises himself against a wholo for the support of what ho foels to be a prlucipto of Christianity. II'- stood tho representative of right an 1 justice against a state. The hanks of tho Potomac, in history, will sound more brilliantly because of the actions of John Brown than because of those of Washington, whose stands upon them. Aud If Virgniaatt-mpW toliaog him, it will make ih river darker than any other historic stream, and it will take more than two to ha horn upon Its hanks to ri.toro It to its original Rita io (Sensation, busses and applause long and boisterous.) I I say what I really think, and I think that after twenty years exertion against slavery you would consider me the im Ft cowardly man in tho world if I did not fearlessly stand hero mitring my true sentlmeuts. The South is a great jiower.

Thero Is no cowardice in Virginia, (tpplause and laughter.) There no cowardice in Virginia. The South is not to be aroused. (Laughter.) Tbo lunatics in tho Gospel were not more frightened than these VlrglnianH, when they feared tho Saviour was going to torment them before the time. Virginia did not trample out tho agitation caused by Harper's Ferry, for though she may hang tbo old man who lod the party' that frightened her, a John Browu will always live iu every Hid man's congcienco. Tho South desires not to be disturbed, lest the whole fabric of slavery in the South should go to pkiceR.

Brown tried it, and the wholo tahric trembles to its very base. The South could buy up Web. f-ter for little and Everett for nothing; but Brown gives her something else to think of. She grasps in her view Mexico on ono side and Cuba on tho othor for slavery. Brown turns her attention inwardly.

lie has taught her there is a new element In these Northern States. The idea has spread through all classes of society. Tito American peoplo oro drunk rith cotton and New York Oteerrart. (laughter.) took forward to fifty years hence when tho world ill give its verdict on this important question with impartiality, when civilization shall have more completely performed her great work. When that day comes, whit shall be thought of these mon who now labor for the maintenance of slaver) Suppose that John Brown did not stay at Hauler's Ft rry suppose that on that Monday when the excited imaginations of 000 Charlcstown poo pie had swelled his force iuUi 400 white men and 200 Africans, and that when the troops arrived they found nobody suppose Brown and biH party had got away you never would have eonvinsod Virginia that tho whole of Pennsylvania was tvd in arms against her.

She has not able to sleep well sinco 1831 but after 1869 sho can never have a nap at all. (Laughter.) This excitement is not produced by tho rising of a racc. There never wai a race but one which contended successfully against their oppressors. Tho proud, bluo eyed, light haired Anglo-Saxon cannot boast of his civilization. Christianity and progress redeemed us.

Neither France, Spain nor the northern nor southern nations of Europe, ran boost that any of them is tho oco. It tho black, despised, calumniated, slandered population of St. Domingo who, by their own exertions, without civilization themselves from the tyranny of their oppressors. This is tho only record in history of a successful revolt of an op pressed and ignorant iK-ople after a eervllo oppression of one hundred years. We may then throw wide our vain gloi ious boasting of our deeds till we have accomplished one half of what his been done by a black nation.

Ijberty has come to us on tho outside not through ourselves, but by means of Christianity and vihzatwn. It is a libel to us to use the sa) ing that if you Lay a dollar on the other side of hell a Yankee will go for it at any risk. (Laughter Thorc is a remnant left of tho old Puritan stock which will Incur any danger in a proper causo, and this remnant is destined to give the death blow to tho slave power yet. John Browu never thought his enterprise, perhaps, coolly but his defeat is noibing but the tlrst step to something better. All that is wanted is, that public opinion will not declare the government of Virginia a government because Governor Wise says so.

010, COO of people who should act in tho matter what wo claim of these It), two ,000 is a prompt and fearless expression of tholr opinion You will remomb ir that there was not a gnu fired at John Brown by Virgiuia. Tho troops of Maryland and Virginia wero col meted; bat it was you who shot him It was the sixteen marines to hem )ou pay ight dollars a month they tired at him and took him. When the disturbed Wate could not stand on her own legs for trembling, you wont there and strengthened her feeble and held hoi sixteen men, with tie- vulture of the Union above them, did this. It was you who the Old mau by the throut with a pirate hand, and if ho is lianged our civilization is if graced. I say and affirm it, wo aru disgraced if a gallons is erected for his monumeiit.

Governor Wise says ho never saw such resolute Brown is trusty, courageous, virtuous, daring. For qualities, which are patent to tho world, Virginia has nothing but a scaffold, labor broad dominion he can only afford too well known possessor ot iheRe noble qualities six fcot for a gruvo. May God help the Commonwealth that am afford such acknowledgments to so great a hero us John Brown. Too Virginians say they have a government, but thoy havo not the slightest Idea of what It ought to be. Hera Is a man brought before a jury She Isgiving a jury, a judge 'o try him and a tho heao she has an of the St ite, who is to put his band to tho warrant for his execution Yet that executive is bound by the very that rests him to keep his mind impartial as to the guilt or innocence of the accused man.

The law says that man is a murderer who gns a warrant for tho exocitlon of a man if his mind 1b not altogether unbiassed. Yi Governor Wise said Brown and those with him ought to he hung. Every lip might have sai i it but his. After th It was not possible, under the old English law, to havo got a proper jury In Virginia to try Brown. (Crios of lleur, Jeffries, in tho drunkest momeut in his life, would not have tried a man who could not havo stood on his feet.

Thero not such a rocird in tho blackest roll of the tyranny of tho Stewarts ns tho trial of John Brown. There is no such infamous proceeding recorded in any nnnals as the trial of Brown. (Great applause) Tho New York preBS publishodan account of his trial every day. a mockery. The Inquisition usedt) try a man with tho rack to make him confess guilt, but its worst doings were heavenly, righteous, when compared with those which have taken place in the town ot Cnarlestewn.Va.

(Groat sensation.) What I havo epokon on this point will bo soon wafted to us in the English press. What shall they sav how shall they reflect the fact to us? that tho trial by Jury has boon diegraccdf In Boston, when tho news camo thero, whethor walking in tho street, riding In tho cars, whereever you met any one who snoke about Harper's Ferry the first expression used by all was, what a pity bo did not succeed. This was the sentiment of republican and democrat alike on the first Impulse. This was tho sontlmont which indicated tho true feeling of evory one who spoko in Boston, or throughout the Northern States. No man spoke of his guilt though tho trial camo, but ovory man seemed to give vent to all his indignation at the farce of a trial.

The first person who rime to me to spoak of the news when it reached Boston was Lyd a Maria Sho says that tho dungeon is no place for him in his presont condition. She writes a letter to Governor Wise. She says John Brown is a horo, and be has dine a great deal for liberty; ho is sick aud wants some ono to nurse him. 1 think slavery is a sin, and John Brown a saint. She asks per mission of Governor Wise to nurse him.

She sends also a message to Brown and charges him on his honor to deliver it. Tho message was: "Old man, God bless you 1 you havo done a mighty work." Tho strugglo wrs a hurd one, tho difficulty was great, but the lady's request hue been granted by Wise. may go in to watch over and nurse tho old man. John Brown has conquered. (Loud and cocUnuod applause and great limitation.) ltphimi the dim unknown Uod keeps watch above his own.

GERRIT SMITH AND THE HARPER'S FERRY OUTBREAK.

PrrtRBORO', Mad won county, Oct. 31, 1MWEleven miles from the Oneida depot, on the Central road, pervlied well up on the bills of Uadis-Hi couuty is tho quiet Itulo village, or setifmeut of Petorboro'.

Tim last coesub shows It to havo been at that time a collection of three hundred and forty seven souls; and as il Is by no means a progressive locality, and as the natural iu crease by birth and decrease by death abo'it koop each other balanced, II to conclude that iho uum ber of its Inhabitants Li about the same now. It is a pretty village, the houses and stores being clustered mainly on tbe north and south Fides of a long green, surrounded with trees. At the cast end of ibis green itwoullbe dignified with the name of park in a city? is the onco pop uiar IVterboro' loukmy now dilapidated in exterior and degenerated internally at the west end is tho Kay House, the sole hotel or tavern of which the sef.Wj'nout can biftht. The street at tho west end stretchcs a little to the south, beyond tho green, and contains a few straggling residences and tho village cburcb. On th? south Bide of the green are some tlius-n priva dwellings and that Important inrtitutlon, Post Office.

On the north side we find Fix or eight dwellings, two drng stores, a tailor's shop, two groceries, ono country dry goods store, a corner building, of a glaring yollow color, bear ing the sign of the Petorboro' Hotel, but with its doors and windows all closed, and the residence of tbe Huu. Gerrit Smith, ex member of Congress, abolitionist, an accompli co or tho Harper's Ferry insurrection tats. 1 have said that Petorboro' is a pretty village. I should have said it must be in summertime, for all Is bleak dreary and desolate. Tho trees are bare and the grass is withered.

Enough snow is on th ground to give the scene a slovenly, dirty aspcct, like a female in a soiled white dress, and the air is cold and damp. Throe huu dred and forty inhabitants out of tho throe handled and forty seven appoar to appreciate the comfort of indoor life, for I have only seen some half dozen faces out of doors in twenty four hours. it though to outward appearance everything is dull, no little excitemeot exists in tho village, and Indeed in most pails of the country, on the subject of tho Harper's Furry afl'a r. In all circles that event and the ruiaored couuec tion of Gerrit Smith with iho insurrectionists form the stv plo of conversation. The wildest rumors aro of course afloat, and conjectures that speak but illy for the Intelligence or common sonso of the community are freely bandied about Tho first person with whom I had any conversation on tho subject was Mr.

P. Farrell, a strong republican, land lord of tho hotel at tho Onolia Railroad depot; and as I found his sentiments very generally ro echoed during my prog rets through the county, it may bo of some interest to report exactly what was said. a ig there much excitement about here in regard to tho Harper's Ferry affair)'" 1 asked. Yes, sir," emphatically replied Mr. Farrell.

I gnoss Gerrit Smith is considerably excited about that ttwr. He is telegraphing from hero all tho while. His nigger was over hero day beforo yestorday quite late, with dea patches. The telegraph office was closed, and he bad to remain until morning. The old gonUeman, evidently, is a good dial uneasy." Question.

What is he uneasy about? Docb he fear an arrest? Mr. F. Well, I don't know that he fears anjUUng-whcrc his pitariiitr': are tafulyod; but then he to sflMMmi ad uneasy about it, and I suppose he to much eul about Old Brown. Q. Suppose a warrant should come here for his arrest on a requisition from the Governor of Virginia, do you think he would go? Mr.

F. Well, so far as he is concerned hlmsolf, il let alone bo probably would not resist it. Q. Would any body else resist? Mr. F.

I guess it would be tough work to attempt to go him out of Madison county. Q. Why? Would tho people offer any violent opposition to an officer? Mr. F. An officer! Why it would take a regiment of soldiers to get him away.

Yes, sir, tbe peoplo would resist. They'll never let Gerrit Hmith go to Virginia; that you may bet on. Q. Do they so generally sympathize with his abolition sentiments, then, in this county Mr. F.

No, they do not. But then there 's scaroely I a mnn In the county who has not at some time or other asked a lavor of some sort of Gerrit Smith, and uoouo ever came away unsatisfied. Asido from poiluu, he's every man's friend, and when that's so, it is difficult to i make peoplo consent to let Buch a man bo arrested and taken off to another State. Q. Then tho peoplo hereabouts are fond of Mr.

Smith? Mr. F. Fond of him I guess they ore. No ono can help it, for he '8 a noblo old fellow. Q.

You say ho 's Borry for Ossawatomio Brown, as they call him. Do you suppose ho was personally well acquainted with him? Mr. F. Oh, yes. Brown was here constantly some years ago.

He bought cattle to take to Ohio. His two sons were hero with him, and he bad a big law suit growing out ofa wool contract, In which Timothy Jenkins was his lawyer. Ho was a One, honest appearing fellow, and was generally liked. This was the substanco of tho conversation; but when I left Oneida for Petorboro' on the following (Sunday) morning, the landlord remarkod as I stepped into tho buggy? it XoU Gerrit that If those Harper's Ferry follows take him, It must not be from hero. We'll make Iho old house a fort first 1 drove from Oneida, eleven miles up hill, to Petorboro', on Sunday morning, over an Indifferent road.

Once during tho ride I diow up at a litUe roadside tavern for the cua ternary refreshments? water for tho horee an 1 whiskey for the driver. Tho occupants of tho barroom wore threo men well advanced in years? Iho landlord and of hid neighbors? ono lamo, tho other partially blind, and tho third very doaf. The cheerful log flro was tempting; and so, throwing off my shawl and pulling off my gloves, I took a Boat on the wooden bench in front of tho grate. Now, thought I to mysoir, hero I am in search of information feeling tho public pulse, as it were, and aseertaining what the popular sentiment la In respect to this dangerous affair In Virginia, aud its probable consequences. Hero is an opportunity to loai the oplnionB of three honest, disinterested men of the rural and a little Investment, accompanied by a proper degree of caution, may accomplish my object.

Acting upon Uie mental suggestion, I invited my throe elderly friends to the bar, and as rye whiskey was the only beverage to bo jjirocurod, wo ''took drinks round, of course, very lightly and the invited guests rather more solidly. After beating about tho bush tor some time warily so as not to startlo tho bird I approached tho subject upon which I most desired information. Anyihing new from Harper's Ferry?" I Inquired. Two of my friends gazed at mo with astonlshod looks, and Iho partially blind man, even, soemed to stare Inquiringly. Tho landlord was the first to speak.

Who's and whar's his ferry? ho asked. 1 don't know nothing about him." 1 was nonplumed. "Why you've heard of Ihe outbreak in Virginia, and Gerrit Smith's supposed complicity with the plot for a negro 1 inqu red. So. I haven't," was the reply.

"Have you, Jake? "Well, strikes me I did hear su'thln' about It, replied another of the rural dlstricters; "but I should think Qerr-t Smith would be tired of niggers; 'taint six months since a nigger raned a little white P'U? in Oookftvilie, her father lay dying In bod, and she has beeu near dead ever since. It's all along of Utwe darned abolitionists that such things happon. 1 say it, tf 1 am a republican." It as not many minutes before I left this tavern, where the occupants knew nothing about Mr. or his forrv and here 1 had made so poor an investment. Mem.

The whiskey only cost three cents a glass. 1 rcached Petorboro' during church lime on Sunday, and found in tho hotel tho usual uumber of idlers generally about a country tivorn. As 1 stepped out of iho buggy snd entered tho hotel, inquisitive glances wire bent upon me; but taking them ouly lor Iho customary curiosity of a country settlement, I soon sought my room and a con venation with Mr. l'ay, tho landlord. Iii.i the Harper's lYrry aflair croato much excitement in this was my Inquiry.

Yes, a great was the landlord's reply. Q. How does your townsman, Gerrtt bmitb, fool about It? Well, he's quite excited aud uneasy. Ha to I bad. Q.

I)o you If warrant should como along fvr blf arrest bo woul be token away without difficulty? I. No, fir. Ho would eot be aw.iy at all, unlesH iIiofi) arresting blm bad moru guns iban wo can muster In town. Q. Have you reason to suppose be would himself resist arrest? 1.

Would they count-el resistance by foro-V 1 think they would now, bocauttc of tho declaration of Governor Wise, thai be wished a mob would tafco ritt-mith to Virginia, and hw thr.ai agaiust him if Ik caught him there. Otherwise I think much would have dei eu on tbe manner of the arrest. That id, I suppose, if Governor Morgan should de ride to yield him up on a requisition from Virginia, and lie authority of the officer wan undisputed, tbure would bo no resistance? L.

Well, II a siugle officer came horo with warrant frirn Governor M-irgan, aud Mr. Suiilh desired to go quietly th? people might onsen i to buvn him uken. it ivi'u ihen I think tneio would bo dittioiiliy for ho hx fri? wis here and all over the county who uro opposed to hir going any way. V. rditkal fi lends, do yon mean? Oh, no.

There am many of his boat friends wlio would never support him politically but almost all tbo peaple like him. He does a vast deal of mi plain and so simple bw way of living (or a mao of n.eans. He employs a large number of people, too, about hi? premises, indepedcnl of hta large cli iriiies. Talk about bis charities, 1 suppoio ho 13 prcyd upon ft good ueal by Jim jesignlugV L. Yfs, a great by people from all parte, who mine here and pretend to sympathise with his political vii-ws.

They are constantly bleeding him, and ho is always moved by a tale of distress, so that others, too, have a i lianco of making money out of him out of all foi is of cliariiable pretences. I inquired vf the landlord which was Mr. Smith's resilience. and it was out to me fiom my bedroom in lew. It HaudB on the north sido of the green, the tMrd building from the west corner.

The premises have a frontage ot about one honored and fifty teet, enclosed by a neat iron railing, with a carriage entrance at each i a gat? way lor foot passengers in the centre. TUo stands buck trom the road about eighty or a hundred fei and is well shaded by trees in tront. It Is a quaie two story ana a half wooden house, with a high sloop aud lofty port'co, supported by all white piila-a, reaching to tlio top of tho Second wluiiowx Tae body ol the he use is painted a light yellowish brown, but ihe half story at the top la white, and apparently an addition to be house. A lining of brick lias recently been given to the house. The door is in tlio centre, and approached by broad steps.

At tho east side of tbo bouse, leading fr tho principal parlor, is a handsome conservatory W'-h filled with choico plants. On tho west sido of trie gonm-ls is the stabling, built Boliuly of hi ick, and on tho oast side a prettily ornamented fijwer garden. Several sumro houses arc scattered over the grounns at tlio back and sides of the house, and everything betokens the residence of a country gentleman of usto and refinement. Too bouse is tumished substantially and comfortably, but by no means expensively. There in everything fur use? uoihn apparently tor luxury.

It would probably astonish some of our ultra Southern brethren to see the residence ol Gerrit Smith. It is just as nnlike a conspirator's castle, or au insurrectionist's fort, or a negro stealer's depot, as can well b-- Imagined. No black muzzled muskets uo bristling bayonets or Bowie knivi no revolvers not even one of old Brown's pikes, san be seen anywhoro about tho premises. There are two or thn colore 1 servants at woi on tho premises, but they look as little as poe-1ble like Favogo runaway slaves, reoily to burn aud ravish and murder. I looked over towards the house, and saw a Qi little boy, about eight or ton years of age, romping on the stoop with two dogs.

Even the animals failed to suggest anything of an incendiary, desjierate character to my mind. They were handsome, useful watchdogs, gentle as lambs with their youtblul playmate, aud just such as a well to do farmer might lovo to iiossess. And here let me fay that Mr Smith cultivates some forty ncreg of ground adjoiuing his residence tor his own family use. A very little luquiry amongst such citizens as 1 chanced to meet convinced me that the excitement hero has been intense, and the interest duel) seated, in all that relates to ihe Ferry atlair. Wherever I asked the queslion I found but one answer? the men of Pa-thorn' never content that Oerril Smith be taken hi Virginia.

7hey would reri't the ojfiects of the law, fiat, to the extent of their But tbe most absurd ideas provailed. By sonic I was assured thut Gerrit Smith's house was watched by volunteers every night, in tho fear that a Southern mob might carry him oft' in the night, alter the laehion of Kansas border ruffianism in the days of old OBgawalondo Biown. By othcis I was seriously informed that the apprehension was not bo much that Ger? it might he arrested, as that he might bo shot assassinated by some emissary of Uov. Wise. Mr.

Smith's u-lgliburB evidently believe that too BnnHwrmtii regard lilxn as a terrible aud powerful enemy, anu have no idea mat be is only looked vijxvii by every sensible man ad a craxy, but honest abolition fanatic. 1 soon dl-coveied ibut poor Mr. Smith Is about as excited and as mistaken as his friends. Indeed, I urn quite convinced that tho agltati couseqoent ufou ihe Virginia outbreak has not only impaired his h-ailh, but is likely to seriously atfuct. hw excitable and illy -balanced mind.

He it a very ditf'rreat an to-day vi hat he twrlre months i nee. His calm, dignified, impressive bearing has given placo to a basty, nervous ag Ution, as though some great fear was cone tuntly bo lore his imagination. eye is bloodshot and rostloss as that ol a startled horse. He has lostllesh, nnd bis face lixiifs as red and aB rough as though bo had just return.) Irom one cf old Brim n's Kansas raids. It may bo Unit be cliaf' and frets at the silenco and Inactivity Imposed upon him by his friends, rather than dreads any rospon nihility for tho past: but, however this mty be, he an(HaiS an altered man, and his true fueuils must deeply regri an atlair that can so agitate and so distress him.

Mr. Smith's views as to the Sabbath are us peculiar as are his rentimentB. He follows rather the Jewish doctrine, and makes Saturday his day of riBt. Hu is. therefore, always visible and ready lor business on the Sabbath.

Having been apprised of this fart, 1 sought an in terview witli him on Sunday, armed witn a letter from a tieSr relative. I foutd thiB uunewssury, however, as Mr. Smith at once recogt.ized our former slight personal ac qi n'ntabce. HiB family consiete this time only of himself, his wile, and a son about twenty years old. His daughter, the wile of Colonel Miller, lives ou the op1-oHte side of the green, however, and Is a constant visiter, with some of her Interesting children, at her father's bouse.

There Is also just now considerable commotion about tbo premises, and a coustont fiood of visitors lawyers, relatives, advisers, and somo mysterious individuals? who come and go on business known ouly to ili? uiFeives. Mr. B. Sedgwick and Mr. Timothy Jenkint Mr.

Smith's legal nJvieors in this affair togethor with Mr Fitzhugh, of Oswego, Mrs. Smith's brother, and several others, ladies and gentlemen, were guests at the house yesterday. The two former gentlemen have been cocFtant visiters at Peterboro' since tho duto of the outbreak at Harper's Ferry. A lew words sufficed to convince me that any attempt to obtain from Mr. Smith any Information as to the uctors In the Virginia invasion, or his connection therewith, was useless.

I frankly avowed a desire to hear bis sentiments upon that subject. Sir," said Mr. Smith, starting like a frightened deer, I can't speak a word with you on that matter. I can't ray a word? not a syllable, even to my most intimate friends." But," I argued, I do not, of course, desire any disclosures or any word from you th.it could Implicate or Injure any ono." "i can't speak about replied Mr. 8.

"Jam going to be inaiiied. If any man in the Cnton is taken, it wiil li me. It would not be proper to say a word about It. I ought cot to say one word. I am advised not to approach tlio subject at all.

1 am going to be indicted, sir, indicted! You must not talk to mc about it." I diopped the subject as a matter of course, it is evident that tbe family of Mr. Smith much alarmed, and in a constant state of agitation; for when I approached tho house, a stranger to them, au approhonsion a dread paiutul to sec? was evident in the aasiousfour.tcnances of his wlfo atnl daughter, who were ou the piazza at tJho moment of my call. I subsequently conversed with a near relative and close adviser of Mr. Smith, nnd expressed to him a desire to obtain somo statement that, while doing injury to none, might, on tbo othor hand, remove erroneus impressions and lay facts before tho public. "Sir," he said, "Mr.

Smith does desire to make such a statement himself, and cau scarcely be restrained from doing so. But if be should, he would do it In his owu manner, nod strike the thing square In tho fruv let who might bo He Is, however, strongly od vised not to do so in the present position of affairs, and has agreed to abide by the Judgment of his counsel. H'At-n he does hts story, it toil I be found that many tunc only partially u-j eettd are more tmjJicaOd than He himself VS. But at present he will say no word to any person." 1 made some inquiries about Captalu Brown, and found that he was here lart spring for several weeks, a guest at Gerrit Smith's bouse, and that while here a number of the ynmuicni leading republican tinted him, and were for wi con.tu!taiwn uith him. 1 viewed Gerrit Smith, tho man of sturdy frame and largo heart, I could net resist drawing a coutrast in my own r.

I boiwvon him, with his earnest, disinterested, but mta-ureeud philanthropy, and his wily, circulating, selfish co laborer, William Seward; the ooe an honest is the other a political antl- slavery maa. How the distinction between the generous altuo'igh Almoot criminal acts of tbe ono, and the cool, woll weir bed, cart fully prepared professions of the other.

The farcical process of registering voters was oon tinued ycbterday throughout the city in the Fame places os two weeks ago. The business in so no districts was quite brisk, and others quite the reverse; of the latter class, some of them registered but four or five voters up to eleven o'clock A. M. In some districts the registrars refused to take down any new names until they copied the poll list of last November. The localities whoro the registration was done w.

re principally in low grog shops, vacant stores, engine houses, stables, and other places quite as reprehensible to n-s pec table citizens. Tbo was resorted to in sorno districts of entering on uic registry lists the name of a real voter at the of and to represent one not real, but bogus, and not bearing the name given, the true name being kept in tbo background, to be brought forward after registering the bogus m.ic bearing the true name shall have- (Kissed, then to twi ar in and prove in his vote should the same be challenged. By this process the same natno may bo made to vot- twice once through the registration by the bogus voter, and again by the Una fide voter through his oath and proof. The democracy evidently have the game all their own way, and by the trlckj of polities will make it tell In round numbers at the ensuing election. every voter that has not had his name recorded, see that it is done te day, otherwise It will be necessary for him on ejection day to make an affidavit as to his qualifications und furnis proof from two voters in his district that he is entitled to vote.

In the upper district (all tbo wards above Twenty-sixth street) tho action of the Conference Committee in agreeing upon R. B. Connolly has caused quite uproar. The subject will probably be brought before the Mozart Hall General Committee, and the District Convention ordered to make another nomination.

It appears that the flvo friends to whom tho Uozart Hall candidate, Mr. Moloney, agreed to refor tho contest, comprised but one person who had been a member of the nominating convention. The conference, It seems, sat some six hours, and had forty -flvo boiloltuigs without any conclusive result. A motion which had been frequently made to choose by lot was adopted at a late hour, and a sub committee of C. W.

Baker and ox Gov. Henry was appointed to write privately tho namo of ono can id ate each. The names Malony and Connolly were bo prepared, and that of tho latter drawn, when he was d'eiared the eandidate.
