Bat there wu a peaceful adjustment of all these nutters, because Oougrena did not give legal sanction to the Lecompton Bwludlo. OU John Brown, with his minions, who opened the bloody issue in Kansas by murdering the tlvo hoads of families on Pottawattamie Creek, at midnight, on the '25111 of May, 1850, appeared and took charge of tha marauding forces. They attempted to make the whole population of Missouri rosponbible for tho horrid murder near Chatf Trading Post. Ilrown was in constant Intercourse with men in the Kaat, who declared on the stump, and Inall their published porrespondence, that their "only hjpo of abolishing slavory in the United States lay through revolution aud from them he received funds from time tisse in proseouliou of his war schemes.

When Mont Jtomory discovered Brown A Co.

Their next point of attack was Virginia. Eli Thayer, ol Massachusetts, had projected a peaceful demonstration to the people of that State of tho of educated fres labor over slave labor, and had located a colony there, which was in sucoessfoi operation, and was win ning golden opinions by its quiet, orderly action. Be Old Brown and his sympathizes, who only saw "through revolution the end ot American slavery," marchM inn the State, hired farm in the vicinity of Harper's Kerry, and there projected their iniquitous work the exciting of a servile insurrection.

But Brown did not go alone. John 15.

Wo do not wish to implicate innocent persous, and wo believo, know we do not do it, 11' tho statements of others 7-" upou, when we say that Oerrit Smith, of York, a man of nobleimpulta, and toa fault, uxu ifrU that dexiyniny men and too cherrf ally hai entered into their plana, and furnished them material aid. While we love him for his philanthropy, bis devotiou to Kansas in the darkest hour of hor history, and for his heavy contributions in aid of tho right and tho opprcs3od, we cannot sympathise with bis hostility to the federal government, and his readiness to engage with mail men in an attempt to overthrow it. The movement at Harper's Kerry may appear to bo an insignificant all'alr, and interested parties will endeavor to make it appear such. Sinoe its faUore every ono will deny being cognizant of it, and "Old Brown, the monomaniac." will be bold responsible for it all; but, as we said last week, "there was method in his madness," aftd that eye of his. sparkling with fire, berets to the initiatod that the world noi 0f.

We can at least our admiral011 and sympathy with bim and his companions, and thi'S It Was that the looturer proposed to do. First, of his history.

His grandfather, John Brown, wai an officer in the, Revolution. Jle himsflf was born in about tho beginning of tills century, but early went, with his father, to Ohio. His father was a contractor, who furnished beef to the army there in tho war of 1812. John Broum accompanied hit father to the camp, and assisted him in his employment, seeing considerable of military life? more, perhaps, than if he had boen a 6oldier? ror hu was often present at the councils of tho officers. He learned by experience how armies are supplied and maintained in tho lleld.

He saw enough of military lifo to disgust him with It, and to excite in him a great abhorrence ol it. Though tempted by the offer of some petty office in tho army when about eighteen, lie not only declined to accept this, but refused to train, and was fined in consequence. He then resolved that he would have nothing to do with any war unless it were a war for liberty. Wnen the struggle began in Kansas he fceut sovcral sons there to help the free State party, tell ing them that if there were need he would follow and as fist them with his hand and counsel. This ho soon after tlid; and it was through his agency, more than that of almost any other, that Kansas was made froe.

For a part of his life tie was a surveyor. At another time he was engaged in wool growing, and went to Europo when engaged in that business. He was an old fashioned rnan in Els faith in the constitution and the Union. Slavery ho Relieved to he opposed to both, and lie was its determined 1 Toe. He was a New England furmer.

He. wan like the bed tAof iWio stood at Concord liridge arvi Lexington C-mt- 1 ptoo ami Bunker Hill. It was no lecturcr that i converted him to anti Blavery. Ethan Allen and toitk whom he may be in some rexpecti compared, were rang 0rtina Jar Ioi ccr and frss important Jield than h-. They could font their country's foes; he, faced hi country -rsdf, token she toot toremg.

Ho did not go to Harvard. He was not fed en the pap that is there furnished. As he phrased It, "I know no more grammar than any of your calves." 1 Bat be went to the university or the West, where ho I Btadied the science of liberty. And having taken his do- greef, ho finally commenced the public practice of humanity In Kansas. Such were his humanities? he would have left a Creek accent elanunu, the I wrong way, and righted up a falling man.

He a Puritan and that was not so strange, lor some of the Puritans onco settled Ainerioa. It would be vain to kill Mm; he died in the time of Cromwell, but he re appeared here. In pis camp he per xnitted no profanity. No man of looso morals was suffored to remain there except as a prisoner of ar. 1 would rather," says he, "havo tho smallpox, yellow lever and cholera together than a man without principle.

He bad prayers in lite camp morning and evening. Ha was a man o. habits.

At table ho would excuse himself, saying he must eat sparingly and live hard, as a man mus'. who would fit himself for a lifo of action and oxjkmuiv and for great enterprises. Ho was, above all, a trauseon a man of ideas and principles, not yielding to a mere transient Impulse, but carrying out the purjtose of a life. He was a man accustomed to speak within bounds a volcano with au ordinary chimney thin. A an Illustration of this, of certain border ruffians he simply.

"They had a perfect right to he His simplicity made him appear incomparably strong I ia its presence eloquence seemed at a disoount. As to his tact and prudence? when scarcely a man from the free States could enter Kansas without molestation he, with what weapons ho conld collect, slowly drove aa oxoart through apparently as a surveyor. Kansas, ho saw a knot of the ruffians, on the prairie, discussing the topic which then engrossed their he would take his compass? and ono of his proceed to run an imaginary line right through the flpot where the conclave was assembled. On coming up with them lie would havo some talk, and, having learned their plans, and thus completed his roal survey, he would proceed to finish liis imaginary one. As to his recent failure, it must be remembered that wo do not know the.

(acta about it. His enemy, Mr. Vallaudigham, said It wan ouc of the best planned conspiracies that over failed. Ind it show want of good management to deliver dozen bttuian as he did, walking leisurely with them from OB' Stale to another, the government not loatent, but at raid of him but to utako haste, cai.l tho lecturer to his law net, and tu Tiw seem really iguorant of tho fac: that are at or three individuals to a towu, throughout the North, who think much an the speaker did about ltrowu ami hii enterprise. It may bo true that only seventeen white men an.l live uegroes were concerned the enterprise.

But the anxiety exhibited to show tins may conviuoe us that all is not told. They are so anxious, because of a dim consolomoess of a fact which they do not distinctly confess, that at lead a mil lion of the free inhabitant! of the Unil-d State', nut priey to thin attempt, would Ham rqourd if it had JimwMi. I' any one who has soon him horo cau pursue, ucnosafully any other train of thought, I do not know, the loo turer, what he IS made of. I put a piece of paper and a pencil under my pillow, and wlmu 1 cannot sleep, I write in the dark. The lecturer's respoot l'or his fellow rneu was not being increased in theso Tbo late of thin man Is ordinarily spoken of as if a common criminal, with only the redeeming quality of beiug, Jovornor Wise, in the language of the cockpit, calls htm, "the (tamest tuau" alive, had been apprehended.

When Gov. Wise thought ho looked so bravo, ho was not thinking of his foes. Ouo neighbor ot tho gpoakor said, UU died as the tool dleth," which suiyp-stod a likeness butwosu hts doing Hud his neighbor's living. Others disparagingly said he throw Itis life away. How do thoRn men throw Uieir lives away? Another asks, What will ho galnr as if he expected to fill his pockets, lie will not "gain" anything by It, for ho could not get four aud sixpence a day for being hung, take the year round: but he gL-ts considerable chuico to savo his soul and such a soul! ind you do not.

JVo doubt ifju can get more in your for a iptari tf mill than a quart of I tod; but such it not the market that heroes carry their blood to. When you jAcml or bury a hero, a crop of heroes is ture to spring up. The m.mumiary chary at llalaklnna has been celebrated bp a poet laureate Hut the steady, and fur the most part moceirful, charge of this man for years agaisist the legions of slavery, is as much more memorahte than that as an intelligent and man it superior to a machine. you think that that will go unsung? "Served him right? a dangerous man! Ho Is undoubtedly inane." So thoy proceed to live their sau? and wise and altogether admirable lives, reading thair I'lutaroh a little, but chiefly studying that feat of Putnam, who was let down in a welTs deu; and in this wine nourish themselves for bravo and patriotl; deeds, samo timo or other. But the foes we have to meet are in our midit and ail about us.

There is hardly a house but is divided against itself, for our foe Is the want of vitality In man, whence are begotten fear sloth, superstition, persecution slavery of nil kinds. We are mare heads upon nfhulk. This curse of tho times is the worship of Idols, which at last changca the worshipper huusclt into a stone image. This man was an exception, for he did not even set up a political graven image between btut and his God. Our modern Christianity is lifelesu.

All the modern Christian's prayers begin with Now I lay mo down to sleep," and he is always looking forward to his "long rest." He shows the whites or his eyes on the Sabbath, and the blacks all tho rest of the woek. Many, no doubt, are well dlsposod, but sluggish by constitution and habit; and thoy cannot conceive of a man actuated by higher motives than they are. Accordingly, they pronounce this man iusano; for they know they never could have done as ho dors, as long as they are themselves. We dream of other countries and times, placing them at a distauce; bst let some sigmtlcant event occur in our midst, and wo discover this distance and strangeness between us and our nearest noizbbors. Our crowded society well spaced aU a city ol magnificent distances.

I read, Mr Tboro.au, all tile newspapers 1 could get, the week aftor this event; and I do not remember a single expression of sympathy for Uiese men. I have since peeu one noble statement, not editorial, in tbo Allot and Bee. Some voluminous decided noUo print Brown's words, to tno exclusion of other matilr. It was as if a publisher shoul-l reject the manuscript of tiui New Tostameut, and print Wilson's last speech. The same Journal which contained thin wan chieliy filled, In parallel columns, with the reports of political conventions.

They should at least have been printed separately, in an extra. To turn from the words and deeds ot earnest men to the cackling of political conventions. But it was not so much to what the newspapers have omitted that he objected, as to what they h.ive inserted. Even the Liberator called it a misguided, wild, and apparently insane effort. As for the herd of papers and magazines, he did not know of one in the country which would print anything that would ultimately and permanently reduce the number of iu subscribers.

How, than, can they print tru th? A man does a brave and hamane deed, and bear on all sides crying, I didn't help him to doit, or iu any way countenance it." They need not take bo much pains to skirts of him? no intelligent person wUl ever be convinced that he was any connection of theirs. Ho went and came, as he himself informs as, under the auspices of Brown and nobody else. 7 he republican party not perceiae how many hit failure make to vcte more correctly than they would them. Thty have counted the volet of fenniylvaMia and Co. but tht-y home correctly counted Captain Broum'snote.

He has taken the wind out of tAeir sails the little wind they had? and they must lie to and repair. Mr. Thoreau exultlngly propheeiod the fall of the republican party the necessary leeult of Brown's attempt. What though be not Voiong to our clique? We may not approve bis lot us recognise his magnanimity. Bo -wo 1 think wo would loso our As we lorn aV the spile, we sh'iuld gain at tlio bung.

Ho is too fair a specimen ol' a man to represent tbe liko of us. Who, then, were his constituents? Bead his words understandingly and you will ilnd out. Iu his case there is no idle eloquence. Truth is his inspirer, and earnestness tho polisher of his sentence. He could airord tho loss of his Sharp's riiles, while he retained tho faculty of spensh a rille of far straightor eight and longer range.

It is a relief to turn from the slanders against him to the testimony of his enemies. Mr. Thoreau hero quoted from tho published remarks of Governor Wi Colonel Washington and Mr. Vallandigham, in praise of Brown's cvidont integrity and heroism. Tnis event, the lecturer considered, is a touchstone to bring out with distinctness the character ol this government.

When a government puts forth its strength on tho aide of injustice, it reveals itself a merely bruto force, or worse, a demoniacal force. It Is the head of tho Plug Ugliea. He saw this government to be fairly allied with France and Austria in oppressing mankind. It says, "Cease agitation on the subject of slavery or I will make a slave of you or hang you. The only government he recognises is the power that estab lishos justice in the land.

Treason! Where doos such treason take its rise? Yuu presume to contend with a foe against whom West Point unlets and rifled cannon point not. Tho lecturer proceeded to denounce the government at much length, and to charge upon Massachusetts complicity in its worst crimes. Undefended lirown from, imputation of felly in undertaking his enterprise with so few assistants. Would we have the good and tha brave wait for action till they arc iu the majority? His company was small, simply because few could bo found worthy to pass muster. Each was a picked man, culled out of thousands, if not of millions.

Surely they wore the best men you could select to be hung. That is the great est compliment this country could pay them It, was Brown's doctrine that wo huvearight to interfere, by force, with the slaveholders, to roscue tho slave. The Iccturer agreed with him. A truo mau would not be shocked by the death of the slaveholder as by his life. Korovcr tt talk against slavery, and never to act, is futile and fooJtah, unless a row wore continually inspired.

Hie question is not about tho weapon, but the spirit in which you it. No mau has yet appeared in Am -rica who loved bis fellow man so well, and treated them so well. For blm he took up bis life; for him bo will lay it down. This eveut advertises us tnat there is such a thing as death. Tliero has been, beforo, no death in America, for there has been no life.

Men have only rotted end sloughed oil' or they rotted 1 and Rloughed along. The befit only run down like a clock. They say they will die. I defy 1 them; they cannot do it; they only deliquesce, and leave a hundred eulogists mopping up tho sjio; where they left off. These mm at Harper's terry, in teaching us how to die, have at the same lime taught us htio to Wv.

Thrir deed is the best new that A merica has ever heard. biddings says their history will All a short page in the history of tbe country. If that will till a short page, how long a sentence does Mr. (biddings think tho history of tho republican party will till Mr. Thoreau proceeded at considerable length to eulo gin) Captain Brown as, perhaps, the noblest mm on whom the sun will ever rise in Amorica, an i closed by reading large part of Brown's conversation at tho armory, he lay on the floor, a ft or his rapture.

That scene, he said, will stand in history with the landing of the Pilgrims and the Declaration of Independence. It will lie the ornament of some future national gallery, when at least tho present form of slavery shall bo no more. Then and not till then, we will take our revenge. THE HARPER'S FERRY AFFAIR AS PARTY CAPITAL. (Krom tho Washington National The attempts to implicate the republicans in the schemes o( lirown may to some extent afflict the approaching elections in New York and New Jersey, but thctr worm consequences must fall upon the South.

Tho incendi vies- whom the South has to fear are those for the sake of frightening timid men from tho republican party, arc inculcating tho spirit of insurrection among the slaves. Is only two or throe weeks ago that wo jxrinled out this nee. ix-ary otlect ol' such lakiehoods, when we had no tuispiclou that wi hoou an event would occur well oalcu liiteii call them I'Jitli witli tenfold profusion.

Southern men know that tt is impossible to p'iblish any Uiing in newspapers relating to the freedom of the negroes, without the glad tidings reaching thoir eart. Can uny intelligent man who in acquainted with South ern life, doubt that the negroes will in this way be led to expect immediate emancipation an the fruit of a ropub ham triumph And ii it not highly probabt that the belief uniting Hum that the great majority the Northern people sUtnd reculy to second their itTorts for liberation, will ciute Oirm, in their eagerness and haite, to plot ins urr rations 7 It would bo a fatal mistake to infer that the nag roes have no dec ire to bo free, because they remained passive at Hai'pur's Kerry. They kuew thoir own strength too well in that vicinity to rush upon destruction, as did Brown and hla conspirators. But tvppote th same thing happened in South Carolina, where there are tico neyroet to one white person; does any one believe thai they itxraM have remained quid spectators la Northern Virginia, and especially in the Immediate neighborhood ol the Kerry there arc perhaps ton white raou to ono negro. Tim therefore, could not hope (or liberation by their own efforts; and they doubtless regarded tho efforts of Brown, if ho rolled os.iontially upon their co-operation, tu all the world Beems to do via.

as tho enterprise oT madman. They aro, besides, the clans of slaves from whom we should least expest on effort at insurrection. 'ibey are on the' border of tho tree States, and it would bo much easier and safer to liborato thornselves by running away thaa by revolting. The facility with which they can run off is a fact well understood by themselves and their mamrs; and tho consoquonso is, that they aro treated with a acgroe ol consideration and kindness which is not generally experienced by the slam further south. Kor these reasons none but domentod on thusiaats could haro roamed or a successful insurrection at Harper's Ferry, But in any of tke Gulf States the same might hare been attended with an amount of bloodshal and devastation from wltich the imagination with inrmr HOW IT WILL END.

(From tho New Orleans We havo taken some pains to notice the tone or the black republican journals in ttielr comments upon tho Harper's Kerry corns piracy. They may bo divided Into. I two distinct classes: those who vrbeodle and who bully. To our mind the second class the bullies? who brazen it out, and chuckle over murder and rapine, hailing the bloody deeds at Horpor's Ferry a3 Urn in anguraUon of a reign of terror in the South, which shall crimson our fields and aurreuder our dwellings to the torch of the inocndiary, aro not a particle more horrible and loathsome thau the others. They are at least entitled to the merit of an honest aud fearless avowal ot their principles, execrable as they are; while tho former would press us by the hantt and term us brethren, while they stab us undor the; tilth rib.

The dyed- in the wool, red mouthed abolitionist, who Is carried awuy by a bitter uud envenomed sectional hatred, or has tooled himself into the belief that sla rery ought to be abolished instantaneously and with- out regard to conseq'ieuces, is not to bo won trom hw errors by the prospect or the dreadful excesses. THE INSWtRBCTION. the Charleston Mercury, Oct. 31-1 The insurrection Harper's Ferry simply no insurrection at all. Not a slave tho tauatics who sought to promote their notorious policy ot by blood anil treason.

It was a silly invasion ol' Virginia by some eighteen men. Four or live killed, and a few ruurc will bo kinged, and will be the end of the enterprise in its mere physical aspects. The press of the North, look tug no further tbau them results, are pretty harmonious lu representing it as a very light and trilling affair, and the parailo of llovornors, and Senators, and of the miliar)' of States nnd of the general government to suppress it, us very absurd and ridiculous. Events are olteu important, not on account of th -ir magnitude, tout on account of their aignili" nicy. A pimple on the cheek may be a very trilling dis bvt if it betokens erysipelas, it is the indication which may be ratal.

And so it is in the political world. The importance of any event, howover iusignitlcant in itself, must be measured by the principle it involaps or the policy it indicvues. For twenty years the Northern nave been keeping up a continual agitation iu the Union conccrnlng the institution of slavery. They have broken up our churches; Lhey have run otT our slaves; they have excluded us from aur territory on the ground that the institution of slavery too iniquitous to expand, and they have now organized i vast controlling party in tho Northern States, looking to ihe possession of the general government to further their purposes of emancipation. All along, however, we have heard put forth profuse professions that no interference with tho institution of slavery in the Southern States wits intended or contemplated, although axtsry principw they asserted led them just as much to overthrow slavery in the States as in our Territories.

The coustitiUooal and moral views which they bring forward to justify their potior, most logically and clearly, mnw miu thorn Here, then, i9 the great importance ot this abolition emcute in Virginia. It shows to the people ortne I South tho destiny which awaits them in this Union, under the control of a sectional anti-slavery party in the free I States. It is fact coming to the aid of logic. It la the legitimate fruit of the Union as it is. It is a significant sign of progress, Taken in connection with the past, it is a porter's omen of the future.

Fjo far from creating any we do not suppose that there is a thoughtful man in tho South who has not been anticipating, tor past, such events as those which lately transpired at Harper's Ferry. Our couneo tk? with the North is a standing instigation of insurrection in the South. Instead of that domestic tranquillity" which the constitution of tho United States openly that it was established to insure, Congress is a van aMitinn amwrUirts. and the Union a powerful organization by which domestic duquietude is created ana th; mightisst dan gen impend over the South.

Ross, David Leach and Adulph Bishop, were arrested on the steamer about to sail for Europe.

To-day they were taken befdro the Police Court, charged with being fugitives from justice, I aud J. II. Bradley ana B. B. Russell appeared as counsel for them.

George II. Brlggs, paying teller ofthe XaseaT Bank, testilled that on the 26tli of October lto paid out $3,160 on a check presented in Court. Ho thought at the time it was by Mr. Bonner, but on exwiuation showed it to be a forgery. Mr.

Roberts, a lithographer Fulton street, New York, testified that on the 15th ol October, Bishop came to his placc with a check printed in brown, saying that his "boss''? Smith, No. 93 tfest Washington Market wanted checks of the same pattern in green. Mr. Roberts desired to sec the "boss," hut could sot find him at the market, and saw no more of Bishop. That afternoon Leach him an order to print MM) checks, saying he had been di reeled there by tho officers of tho bank, and the checks wore delivered to him a fjw days after.

The witness was positive that the forged check was ono of them. Tho examination of the is not yet finished. When arrested they had $900 in money with their baggage on board. had his wife with him. The imrtics are also accused of a forgery for over $4,000 on the Corn Exchange Bank, New York.
