Who are Responsible?
LEADING DEMOCRATS IMPLICATED!

THE HARPER's FERRY RIoT would
never have taken place had not the Mis-
souri, Compromise been repealed. Itwould
not have been provoked, bad not the
/ Border Rufilns of Missouri been encOur-
aged to outrage the Free State settlers in
Kansas. Who, then, are responsible, but
the party that perpetrated those outrages? !?
Primarily, of course, the authors and aiders
of the Kansas Nebraska and Lccompton
measures are guilty of all the blood shed
from the first hostile invasion of Kansas
down to the last shot fired at Harper's
Ferry. "They sowed crop of dragons
teeth which sprung up, armed men,"
Secondly, they are responsible, who,
when warned Of the danger, paid no heed
to it, or rather encouraged it for political
effect. The Arsenal at Harper'S Ferry is
U. S. Government property, under the
especial charge of the President and Sec
retary of War, Ex.Gov. Floyd, who re-

SPRING.


'Tis Spring-time. and all things are lovely,
The b.eahnesS of Winter is o'er
In the vale. and high up IN the mountain,
We near lis shrlll piping no more.
The clear brook is free from its feiter.,
The glad bird now MARBLES its song,
And the trout in the bright crystal fountain
Is sporting the pebbles among.
Down there, where the rivulet murmurs,
The wild bird sings sweeily It's lay;
There. flowers of the fairest are sprinsing,
And lambkins are seen al their play.
The bee that is kissing each blossom,
Is fondly enjoying this hour;
His hum may be heard as he revels
SO wildly in every gay flower.
And such are the hours of our childhood,
All sunshine, and blossom, and song,
No cloud fills the heart with It's sadness,
As the time passes swiftly along.

SUMMER

-, ~ AVA A'I A~ANs
'Tis Summer, and sunshine and tempest
Alternately sweep DER the land.
And hil-top and valley are teeming
With gifts from Gods bountiful hand.
Look round DER the land in its beauty,
Rich cereals wave in the breeze,
Like the flow Of the blue restless billow,
That rolls on the breast Of tie seas.
! The lowing of hocks in the valley
Is heard IN the soft, balmy gale,
And the song OF the mikmad is ringing
As lightly she trips through the vale.
The blossoms of Spring-time have vanished,
That round us their sweetness once shed
All are gone. but the fruit that replaced then
Smiles DER US profusely instead.
We, too, like the field and the forest,
Have cast off the blossoms OF Spring,
And the heart, like The far-soaring eagle,
Has mounted on hopes buoyant wing.
AUTUMN.
'Tis Autumn, and sad is the murmur
That steals through the vale with sigh,
When twiligh, is closing around US,
And clouds spread their pail on the sky.
The lone bird that fits through the forest,
Is pensive, and sings not his lay;
And the sere leaf is dropping around US,
In token of natures decay.
The landscape, once clad in its beauty,
Has lost all the charms that ii wore,
And the lamb that once skipped on its bosom
Is seen 10 rejoice there no more.
The brook, where the wild bird, beside it,
Thrilled swee,ly his notes al the dawn,
Had charms that Oft won US TO woo Them,

to select leaders for themselves, and two
Of the successful aspirants we're Democrats,
according to the original returns. At all
events, five appear to be one way, aud five
the other. Any attempt Of the Loccfoco
press to identify the Republican PARTY
with it, for the purpose Of making political
capital ,herefrom, is dishonest, aud verifes
the truthfulness of the adag &c, that "drown-
ing men catch at straws."
A correspondent Of one Of the eastern
papers says:
HAS it ever occurred to you that Gov Wise
is at the bottom of this Harper's Ferry insur
section Brown was only endeavorIng TO
carry out the programme which the Governor
had proposed for himself in case Fremont had
been elected TO the Presidency, to wit, Seize
upon the Arsenal at Harpers Ferry, raise an
army, march TO Washington. take possession
of the city, and dissolve the Union" Clearly,
the Governor gave TO Brown the hint upon
which he acted,
BUCHANAN, TOO Forbes, one of the
Abolition conspirators, in letter 20 DR..
Howe, has the following ominous note:
"See my letter 10 J. Ii. dated Esd Feb"
Alas after the first step from the ways
Of virtue, the path is all the way down
hill. From rewarding Kansas invaders
and murderers, what more natural than
that the President should turn out con-
spirator himself?
Two Of the Frederick (Marylaud) papers
also state that at least half of the silly crew
were Democrats, and loathes the paltry,
mean attempt to charge the deed upon the
million and half of honorable, humane,
intelligent men Of the Free States who
voted for Fremont.
From these undoubted rACTs-and
the more doubtful differences that may be
drawn-wc submit to all candid readers,
democrats as we'll as Republicans,) whe,
ther there is not much more guilt lying
against the Democracy in this matter,
than against the Republicans? The FIRST
CAUSE is clearly theirs-the AGENTS are
mainly of that party-and they have en-
deavored TO make political capital out of
it! Which is most at fault, then, judge ye!
