perplexed us so much at the time of writing our article in yesterday's issue has now been made perfectly that is the fact of the insurgents actually engaged at the Ferry hailing from so many different Northern Slates It is accounted for by the development that the affair was a regular Abolition conspiracy extending throughout the North and embracing a body of twelve or fifteen hundred men who were

their language was in riddles dark as the Delphian Oracle Enough was gathered however to impress the mind of the anxious enquirer with the fact that the colored people of this city at least the most respectable portion of -apprehend that dark cloud" hang over the Southern States on the Eastern Coast Several of them threw out hints of a regular bureau being organised even in this city for the especial purpose of co-operating if necessary with the insurgents of Virginia whose aim they express their belief to be is to get up a servile war with the view of emancipating the slaves in that section of the Union In regard to certain rumors that -are afloat of telegraphic messages being sent to and fro between the alleged bureau of Abolitionists in New York and the insurgents opinions are divided Some profess to believe that the idea is an absurdity from the simple fact that no such messages would be sent by the operators while others suggest the probability of sending them on in cy- -phers so as to keep each other posted as to the posture of affairs and the measures to be adontod ducing them to repudiate the whole tribe of Abolition leaders and agitators in their midst we shall then despair of the Republic and look: for long years of civil war with all its calamitous and indescribable consequences But as we said on yesterday we believe that the great body of the Northern

"Ossawattomie Brown" was to lead the insurgnnts in the attack on Harper's Ferrv and hostil killed by Southern desperados and these many exasperations drove him to madness He has not been regarded since as we are told as a perfectly sane man He has been known to vow vengeance against the whole class of slaveholders for the outrages perpetrated by their representatives in Kansas and this insurrection if he is at the head of it is the manner in which he gluts his resentments Frenzied by the remembrance of his wrongs his whole nature turned into gall by the bitter hatreds stirred up in Kansas and reckless of consequences he has plunged into the work of blood Passion does not reason but if Brown reasoned and desired to give a public motive to his personal rancors he probably said to himself that the slave-drivers had tried to put down freedom in Kansas by force of arms and he would try to put down slavery in Virginia by the same means' Thus the bloody' instructions which they taught return to plague the inventors They gave for the first time in the history of the United States an example of the resort to arms to carry out political schemes and dreadful as the retaliation is which Brown has initiated must take their share of the responsibility They must remember that they accustomed men in their Kansas forays to the idea of using arms against political opponents that by their crimes and outrages they drove hundreds to madness and that the feelings of bitterness and revenge thus generated have since rankled in the heart Brown has made himself an organ of these in a
