The ohio FIunkey Merchants.

Messrs. ]. NJ Vansant of Fairfield coun-
ty, J. B. Glassford of Morgan county, and
j. /. Cunmins of logan county, have writ
ten themselves funkeys to the slave rule
of Virginia of the first water. They were
hustled out of the train on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad at Harpers Ferry by
the military authorities Of Virginia on the
Wednesday before Browns execution, and
detained for twenty-four hours, because
they were suspected of having exercised
the freedom of speech! The Railroad off
GERS then procured their release, and for
the pay of a free pass home probably, the
funkeys published in Baltimore card
that makes the stomach of every ipdepend-
ent freeman heave with disgust. They de-
clare they "were treated with very proper
consideration and kindness by the military
and citizens" etc., etc. The State Jour
nal publishes the card of humiliation and
apology for arrest and detention, and cuts
the withers of the craven signers thus:
We suppose that if the citizen soldiery
of the hag of commonwealth had tarred
and feathered Mr.. J. M. Vansant, be would
have published card thanking them for
the consideration and kindness with which
the feathers were applied, and would have
been disposed to overlook the annoyance.
We suppose if they had shaved Mr.. j.
B. Glassford's head, he would have spoken
in high terms of the gentlemanly barber.
F We suppose if they had slit Mr.. J. L.
Cummins' nose, be would have simply
blown that organ, and thanked the opera
tor for using sharp knife, and avoiding
unnecessary delay in the operation.
q Good God !! are We men of Ohio really
so abject! 1t seems incredible that liberty
should only have fitted us to be slaves =
Is not this the saddest thing that ever was
Three men are arrested on the evidence of
a spy are dragged before military tribu-
nal, and detained and annoyed until it can
be proven that they have no manhood,
and they come out and compliment their
prosecutors, and announce that they will
return home on the road of the company
which permitted these outrages upon
them. la

| noticed an article in the Gazette OF
yesterday, headed as above, from tho pen
of Mr.. Alex. Brooks, taken from the Rural
New Yorker, and as I have some useful
experience in that line, | desire to suggest
my plan of keeping: To cask of hams,
say from 25 to 80, after having packed
them closely and sprinkled them slightly
with salt, let them lie thus for three days
then make = brine sufficient to cover them,
by putting salt to clear water, making it
strong enough to bear up sound egg or
potato, | lhen add ] 1b saltpetre, and a
gallon Of molasses, let them lie in this
brine for six weeks-they are then exactly
right. then take them up and let them
drain; then, while damp, rub the feshy
side and the leg with pulverized black, red
or cayenne pepper; let it be as ine as dust !;
dust every part of the fleshy side, then
hang them and smoke. You may leave
them hanging in the smoke-house or other
cool place whero the rats cannot reach
them, and they are perfectly safe from all
insects, and will be dish fit for Prince,
or an American citizen, which is better.

GE-JoHN BaowS has been executed,
and Virginia may now rest in peace
Whatever likelihood there may have been
that an attempt would be made to rescue
the hero Of Ossawatomie, there is no dan
ger that anybody, save Gov. WILLARD,
will attempt to save Cook from his doom.
BRowNs acts were wrong but there was
a purity of intention about them, and a
bold, manly method of execution, which
won him sympathy from many who had
no opinion averse TO Slavery. Cooks con
duct has been such as. to deprive him of
the respect or sympathy of those. even
who approve of tie JonN Brown raid.A
JonN BRowS was regarded at the Ncrth
as a ahero" of some sort, and at the South
as a plucky man; but Cook stands before
the Anti-Slavery men a traitor, and before
the South, coward. He is singularly un-
fortunate. He trembles at the prospect of
death, and has not the assurance of the
sympathy of Others to strengthen him.
His confession" appears to have been a
desp;cable trick 10 shield himself by charg-
ing his own crimes upon others.

gence other than that contained in these

necessary to enable the authorities of the

duty of the Executive to use whatever
power he may possess, to break up such
combinations, and defeat their unlawful

doubted, will be performed. ~ +.

this not being the case, I must say, al
though know you will feel deeply the
fate am to meet, that ] feel more deep
" on account of the necessity of myself or

you as ought to have done. Remember

DoS'T rou DO IT.-If the tempter should come
to any of you Fathers, on Christmas Eve. and
say to you, goto some rum hole aud spend your
money for drink instead of spending it for some
little presents for your children, making their
young hearts feel glad and maxi lg them to love
you better and better-dont You listen to his
voice, but try the experiment of making your
home happy by spending the evening with Your
wife and children, spending your money for
their enjoyment instead Of the enjoyment OF the
bloated. hlear eyed, profane creatures who spend
their evenings and their money in the back room
OF some doggery. 1t will make you feel better
with yourself, and make those whom you should
love and protect, love you the more. M
We envy not that man his heart who will re-
fuse, sometimes, to give a little of his means to
make glad the hearts of the young, and we had
about as soon, or rather, be a common drunkard,
spending every penny we could gather, for rot
gut whiskey, as to be in possession of immense
wealth, and a heart so cramped, so confoundedly
mean that it bleeds afresh every time penny
is taken out of the purse. Such men are more
in the way of the world S progress, of the growth
of religion. of kindly feelings among men, than
the drunkard. If professors of religion-and
they are very apt to be-they are constant
ly importuning the Lord to protect the poor,
whilst they themselves refuse to give farthing
to save the really destitute in their own neigh
borhoods. We say such men are apt TO be pro-
fessors of religion. but they never deceive COP,
and rarely ever their fellow man, as the margin
they leave between profession and practice is
so wide that no one can fail to see it. 80

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9

In the Senate yesterday Senator Trum-
bull made lengthy speech chiefly in de-
fence of the Republican party, in the course
of which he, Trumbull, contended that
the declaration of Mr.. Seward was nothing
more than the views expressed by Wash
ington and the Southern men in l79S.
He also quoted the language of Jeffer-
son, that there is nothing more certainly
written in the book of fate than that the
races should be free. 1t would be seen
then that the idea was not new; il had its
origin in Virginia years ago, and the idea
foreshadowed by Jefferson, although not
part of the creed of the Republican party
he trusted that it might hereafter become
its creed-that is the deportation of the
free nogro population from the country.
He trusted the Republicans would make
it part of their creed to procure some re-
gion of country not far distant to which
the negro population could be taken. He
feared the consequences of Jefferson's pro-
phecy unless this was done. In favor Of
this movement he quoted from speech of
Henry Clay advocating colonization.
In conclusion Mr.. Trumbul said, at
seems to me impracticable to transport
this great population TO Africa. Let us
obtain a country nearer home, and to show
the sympathy of the North for the South,
] know may say for the people l repre-
sent, we will contribute liberal means to
relieve this country of this free negro pop
ulation, and of all the slaves that shall be
voluntarily emancipated By planting them
in some contiguous country TO this. l
hope that will become the policy of Re-
publican party.
l hope we may join hands with the
South and instead Of reproaching each, in
stead of saying anything to create mis-
understanding in the different sections of
Union, we may come together as our fa-
theirs stood together shoulder to shoulder to
establish our independence, that We came
together side by side as brothers adopting
policy which shall eventually rid US of this
institution of slavery, the only one that
threatens our permanent prosperity.

EThe lower House Of Congress bad

E The loyer House Of Congress had
not yet organized at the last dates from
Washington, and the election Of Speaker
seems To be as far off as on the first day
of the session. The South has got the
Slavery hobby introduced, and are deter
mined that 5there shall be no organisation
until they have exhausted all the wrath
which has been accumulating in their bod
les since the last adjournment. On several
occasions when Northern man WAS speak
ing, they would gather round him, BRAN
dishing their revolvers and bowie knives,
and going through the motions of wanting
10 get up fight. But they know how far
they can go with this tou-foolery TO save
their wind-pipes from being felt, and they
always stop within that point. The pluck
Of the Virginia soldiers at Harper's Ferry,
IS pretty fair sample Of the pluck Of the
Southern blackguards in Congress. They
are most yalerous when no dangers environ
them. All towards are courageous then.
