The funeral of John Brown took place at North
Elba on Thursday, at O'Clock. The body was
borns by six of his neighbors from his own roof tn
q rock near by, under the shadow of which he had
directed it to be laid. The coffin had been pre-
yously placed in front of his doorstep where his
neghbors came in crowds to take last look. The
face was hardly changed and wore its usual serene
expression. Before leaving the house, has favorite
hymn, Blow ye the truDpet-blow," &c, was
sung, and an impressive prayer was offered by the
Rev Mr.. Young of Burlington, VT, who, with
Dir. L. G. Bigeow and two others of that oity, had
ridden all night to be present, Remarks were then
made by j. NJ. McKim of Philadelphia and Wen
deD Phillips of Boston, amid the strong emotion
and deep sympathy of the family and friends. AT
the grave Mr. Young quoted Pauls words, 81
have fought the good fight" &C., and pronounced
o benedction.
1t was deeply touching to see the three widows
leaning on the arms of strangers aud relieving their
broken hearts by sobs.
The crowd slowly and reluctantly left the ground,
and the martyr is left in his grave among the hills

When Old John Brown was once asked to attend
one Of the talking conferences Of the Free
State men in Kansas, he said, "NO. I will
unot 90. II is all talk and no cider" Mr.
Brown took very comprehensive view of
human affairs in this more precise aud provincial,
than crcumlCcutory and polished observation.
We fear, Caleb, there are those ungOdly and DIS
respectful persons who viii apply some such derog-
atory remark to your brave and patriotic words.
But, Caleb, do not mind them. Envy and malice
abound in this wicked world. They must be met,
and they must be disregarded. OblOquy," sad
The llustFious Mr. Burke, obloquy is a necessary
d" ingredient in all true glory" Let the sentiment
refresh your soul when others malgn you. We, at
least, back yOur pretensons, and applaud your
courage, already displayed in the tented field, and
now in combating those gorgODs and chimeras
de which beset you during your late trying efforts in
Faneuil Hall, Of which Hall you, on Wednesday
night, at least of the very cheiest bricks.

A friend 10 Philadelphia writes TO US that the late
UniOD-saylng meeting in that city was got up and
managed in the interest of Mr.. Wise as Presiden-
ta candidate ThatiD Boston, on the other hand was
apparently intended for the benefit Of Mr.. Hunter.
In whose behalf that about to take place in this City
will be conducted is something not yet developed 1t
is plain, however, from the fac; that Mr Hayemeyer
was unanimously rejected as a member OF the
Executive Committee, that the enterprise is fatty
hostile to the aspirations Of Mr.. Horatio Seymour
In this respect the managers of the meeting en-
TREY coincide with the purposes Ofour new Mayor,
from whom Mr.. Seymour need expect no mercy.
But when Mr. Havemeyer was rejected, why did
not some one move to put Mr.. Wood in his place
The fact that this was not done would seem to ind-
cate that Mr. Wses pretensions not to be fur
tbered by the projected meeting. But these are
dark points, on which we shall get light as we grow
older.

The Richmond EnqHirer-so long ago as 1885,
two years before Gov. Stewards Rochester speech
said:
Trio opposite and conflicting forms Of society can
not among cirshSed men, coeItst and endure. The
one must give way and to exist-the other be-
come universal II free society be unnatural, immoral
and unchrstian, it must fall and give way to slave

ing the integrity of the Union-it is only when the
universally of Freedom is fOreshadOwed that it is
deemed necessary to resort to UniOn.saying.

luton have removed all misgivings. These votes
added to Mr.. Shermans column VIII put the Ia
sponsibility of success or defeat directly upon
Horace +. Clark aud George Briggs. Those two
votes now hold the decision in their hands.
Every effort is made by mOneyed New-York pol
ticans to persuade Mr. Briggs against his own IN
clinations and sense of duty, but il is hoped they
will not succeed.
Messrs. Adrain, Riggs, and Davis viii probably
stand of from utilization with either the Democracy
or Opposition. They are pledlsl against any Lee
compton Speaker.
Secret movements have been attempted with
view of abandoning Mr. Sherman, but they have
met no response whatever. There is not a less OBJ
jectiOnable member Of any party on the floor, and
there are over one hundred votes that, under no
circumstances, will recede.
Democratic leaders say tonight they are deter
mined to resist the plurality rule to the bitter end,
and viii compel the Opposition to elect by q ma
jority as the best mode OF dividing parties. They
believe We have the power. No election Is ex-
pected Tomorrow but there is general disposition
on our side to leave the talking to those who don't
want to vote.
Reports were current to-day of q reconciliation
between Senator Douglas and President Buchanan
but they are unfounded. Members Of the Illinois
delegation and others have tried to bring about an
understanding on their own account, and for their
own objects. Hence the runners.
