Captain Brown.

The day fixed upon for. the hanging of Captain
Brown is Friday the 2nd of Dec Although his
cxecutnn may be deferred week or so later, in
order that the hanging of his associates may take
place at the same time, yet it is regarded GER
tain that there will be no commutation of the
sentence. Public opinion in Virginia demands the
rigorous penalty, shall be visited on the victims
without show of mercy. The Rich mond Whig
still insists Brown and his associates, should have
been hung without first undergoing the forms of
trial This hot haste to take the life of Captain
Brown will not be likely to help quiet the slavery
agitation, Although Capt, Brown was vioator
Of the laws, yet the world knows and fully believes
tina. he was actuatcd by no rcvengeful motives 4;
there was no malice III his heart, be only did what
he rs!igiousy believed to be an obeyance of the
Almighty-'to break the yoke of the oppressor,
and let the oppressed go free" lie committed
no treason he Intended 10 murder the law it
is true he o7erstepped. Virginia may hang him,
but it win only add intensity to the hatred against
81 Gyeiy-o's lpiuyigorate and nerve the energies,
for the overthrow Of this accused wrong People
may reason as they will, Capt. John Browns name
will be transmitted to coming generations, not as
a man badly disposed, nor as a man of wisdom and
prudence but as a man, who fearless of personal
consequences corscentiously resolved to strike for
the freedom Of an oppressed race. His dauntless
courage and his indifference Of death, will in spite
of bis enemies, cause lis heroism, in aftertimes to
be spoken Of with admiration His last words will
be recorded,aa were those Of distinguished men in
past ages. His last speech on the ignominious
platform is yet to be made the New York Inde
pendent very appropriately says -
"The speech lie will utter from the sclffold, will
become historical taking rank with those dy-
ing words Of patriots heroes and martyrs, which
have become The watchwords of after generations,
in the great conflicts and triumphs of freedom and
Truth"

Church Going.

1t is unquestionsbly promotive OF n healthful
public morality, where every member of the
community as far as practicable, make it point
to attend some christian church on the Sabbath.
There are many truths uttered in the various
pulpits in this city, every Sabbath, which are
calculated to inspire nobler ideas of life, and
higher duties to the Creator. Fer the benefit of
such as do not make it convenient to attend
church, we give an imperfect summary of the
sermons in some of the churches in this city last
Sabbath
In st. Mathews Episcopal church, Rev. Mr..
Mcnamara, preached sermon in the afternoon
subject, " The conversion Of the iGiiOr." The
discourse was not only impressive, but one of
bold and manly thought The obligation of man
to obey the higher law, rather than the statutes
of wicked governments, was enforced by the ex-
amples of good men in scripture history, and the
teachings of Christ and his Apostles. That
class of persons who profanely maintain, that
obligation to obey the laws of man, is above the
duty to obey God. should have heard the unfold.
ing of religious truth at St, Mathews Church
last Sabbath 1t is refreshing to find ministers
who are not man fearing or man pleasing, in
the utterance of religious truth.
On Sabbath morning Rev. Mr.. Lull preached
a sermon lin the Baptist church-sebjec -
"GrieUing the holy Spirit" The sermon abounded
in much good instruction, and with strong en-
forcements of the christian virtues.
In the Methodist church, in.the evening, Rev
Dr. Kidder of Evanston University, preached .
discourse of much solemnity from the text III
thine heurt right"
In the evening, at the Congregational church
Rev. Mr.. Hutchins, preached sermon from tn
same text as that preached from in the Episco
pa; chur oh in the afternoon. The theme of tn
discourse was, the immediate duty of prepare
ton for the life to come.
| In st. Marks Catholic church, Father Reol
dan, preached sermon in the afternoon, on tn
command, "LOre one another" The duty G
the constant exercise of this christian virtue wa
enforced in eloquent language, and in name
calculated to make most excellent impression
upon the audience.

The southern presses are growing more bold
and frequent in the expression Of disuniou SEN
timonts. The IIarpal's Ferry affair, is made a
pretext for the utterance Of strong language
against the present confederacy Of States. The

has doubtless added much to the bad temper of

is national and slavery sectional The south

republicans will triumph in the next Prcsi5en

holy horror and cry treason!
But will the Union be discovered by the cleo
ton Of a Republican President in 1850? Most
certainly not. The South dare not put in exc.
cution its threats Of disunion under Republican
rule. Tho south possesses 10 elements o
strength, beyond its ability to vote, and to fright
en- northern doughfaces into its measures; lef
to its own resources, it has neither the power t.

By the strong arm Of the north. Bat were the
south really in earnest in the mad project OF
