feel for such plot and its originators, there
ought TO be sufficient judgment recovered by
this time, from the first excitement both TO
take cognizance Of, and reprobote the poor, mis-
cradle, lop.sided manner in. which everything
aboutit is made TO bend to partisan purposes
For instance, we are continually told by the
rnphman, that Gov. Wise has bushel of
letters or so. Next, we are told. by the organs,
that these letters, when published, will impli.
cate n thousand or two prominent men of the
North. We are next told that Andrew Hunter
and somebody else have gathered up a buskel
or two more letters, among them, roll of AZ
conspirators, aud "a receipt from Greeley to
Brown for letters. J"
In addition to all these, great aud mysterious
hints are thrown out of forthcoming develop.
nents, which tits not prudentlyet to make. The
truth, as we read it, and VIC think it asvisible
as thesun in the heaYens, is just this: This
whole matter is in the hands of politicians
They are working it as trump card, and they
will work it.until after the New York election.
Governor Wise, everybody knows, has an
axe to grind, and he is not the man to lose
such a chance this Harper's Ferry riot
He has letters, lots of them, we1 have no
doubt. So has Andrew Hunter and Charles
James Faulkner, and all the rest of them,
no doubt. But this we feel as certain of as
VIC feel assured that they have the letters, that
they have got miserable batch of fudge, stut.
and nonsense. which, when sifted and read,
amounts to just as near nothing as it is possible
for poor, degraded, demented, fanatical crea.
lures correspondence to amount to. There Is
not yet even particle Of proof that Gerrii
Smith, rabid Abolitionist as he is, ever had tn,
remotest hint that Brown intended an Insured
ton. WeIdo not suppose that Smith knew
thing aboutit. We believe that he is too gooi
man to even contemplate taking the blood G.
afellow man, save with adherence.
Giddings, we all know, has given u fat and EN-.
phatc contradiction to all reports thathe directly
or indirectly, knew anything about Browns ex.
pediton-or, as he himself says in his card,
"Brown never consulted mo in regard TO his.
Virginia expedition, or any. other expedition or
matter whatever" Then comes Greeley. An
drew Hunter has Greeley receipt to John Brown
for letters. Why doesn't Andrew Hunter, or
who ever has charge Of the letters, hand over
the receipt to the telegraph agent, and let him
foul injustice of such suspicion. These men
know just what that receipt was for. Had it
been.anything that would have subseryed their
purposes, they would have been prompt to put
itall on tho wires, buta they see tito be a
mere nothing-something foreign to Browns
riot-theY uascrupulously give out that they
have receipt from Greeley to Brown "for let,
tiers"
This is the way in which this matter i
being turned into political account by the UNI
scrupulous politicians who have the management
oft. It's "a good Morgan for. election purpo.

TnE Richmond Wig, as we presume all our
attentive readers well know, came out some
days ago, advising union and cooperation in
Congress between the Southern Opposition and
the Republicans, calling upon the Southern
Wings and Americans, in no event, to fuse with
the Democracy. The Whig at tho same time
gave an elaborate and able explanation of Mr..
Stewards Rochester speech, defending it from
The bigoted and rancorous, falsiiications of tho
Administration press and orators.
For this advice and these explanations and
populations, the Wig, in common with tho
liberal Opposition press everywhere, has been
bitterly assaulted since the Harpers Ferry riot
