hsg- Treason II Is remarked by TIE A lba-
ny journal is the rarest Of crimes in this
country. In marked contrast to the ex-
perience Of despotisms, our government has
hitherto had a support literally universal.
If we remember rightly, no ono has ever
been convicted and punished for IL. Per.
haps the case Of Brown and his follower
would be the first exception TO this rule
we're they to be tried by the Federal Courts
But it seems the State of Virginia is to be
conceded prior jurisdiction in this matter,
so that they will first be tried on the charge
of murder or manslaughter, aud it is no,
likely that the Virginia Courts will fail to
convict them

Indiana-Decided Republican Ga Ins.

We remarked yesterday that the ndica-
tions afforded by the late county elections
in this State were cheering to Republicans.
The more returns we receive the more sure
and encouraging these indications become.
We have no doubt at all that the Uemoc-
racy can be beaten in this State next year.
Certainly the revulsion of 1856 was not
half so clearly marked by the local elections
of this. The following Democratic coun-
ties have either been carried in whole or in
part by the Republicans, or the maiorities
greatly reduced.
Brown, the old "Steadfast," always good
for 800 majority, elects an Ant-Lecompton
Democratic Clerk, Mr.. Adams, over the
regular Democratic nominee, and elects a
republican Commissioner, Mr. n. n Morris,
by 200 majority.
DeKalb, always Democratic by 100 or
over, elects the whole republican ticket this
year.
Clay, always Democratic by good ma
jority, elect the whole Republican ticket.
Carroll, always Democratic by small
majority, elects the whole Republican tick
ct by an ayerrge of 100 majority.
Cass, Democratic by 100 or more major
ity, elects the Republican ticket by 100 or
200 majority.
Hancock, Democratic by 800 majority
elects half the Republican ticket.
Miami, Democratic b small majority,
elects the Republican ticket by $50 or 200
majority.
Jobuson, Democratic by 400, elects re-
publican Auditor aud is reduced to l20 on
the Democratic Judge.
Porter, Democratic by 100 last year,
elects the whole republican ticket.
Upton, Democratic by $50, is cut down
to 10.
Shelby, Democratic by 500, is cut down
to 100.
Noble, unreliable, but usually Democrat
ic by a small majority, elects the whole re-
publican ticket the except Clerk, which is
yet in doubt.
The abash Express reports that Sui
livans CO. heaviest Democratic county in
the state, except Allen, has elected the
whole Republican ticket.
Bartholomew, Democratic by 500, elects
a Republican Clerk.
Knox, Democratic, elects Republicans
to about half the county Offices.
Now this, we submit, is very pretty re-
cord Of Republican gains. Let us add to
it the following counties which the Repub-
lleans have carried: Elkhart, Laporte, Tex
cept Recorder) Tippecanoe, Marion
Wayne, Henry, st. Joseph, Decatur, Hen
dricks, Warren, Hamilton, Vigo, Morgan,
Parke' fayette, Union, Jefferson, Marshal,
lafIer bot contest, Kosciusko Wabash
Jennings, Switzerland by 200 to 800, Floyd
Clark aud Lawrence.

EXAMINATION OF THE PRIsoNERs. The
examination Of the wounded Captain Brown
and his comrades was commenced on Tues
day 25th, at Charlestowp, Va, under the
protection Of the armed chivalry The
three wounded men and The two unharmed
were not only manacled but were marched
from the Jail TO the Court House surround
ed by eighty armed body guards, and the
Court House grded round about by brist-
ling bayonets In the Free States, civil
officers alone would have discharged the du-
ty, but Shareholders startle at the hutter of
leaf HalEdead Brown, the "gamest
man." Gov. Wise says, che ever saw !" pro-
we'd the literal truth of the remark. Weak
from wounds and suffering, be blancbed not
at bayonets nor judicial power. He asked
not his life when cut down by United States
sabres aud bayonets, nor for trial or life
when arraigned before Virginia Justices.
All he asked was to be saved from insult
the insult Of the mockery of trial. He de-
clared himself prepared for his fate, and, if
his life only was sought, he boldly rendered
1t without legal formalities or the laws de-
lay.
The testimony, so far as reported, cor
roborates the former statements that Brown
treated his prisoners with kindness and re-
spect and did not aim TO destroy property
or life. Liberation Of slaves was the sole
object of his most reckless enterprise

Parties i'm Congrcss--Plnns for Union.

Only two Maryland and Lousi-
ana-have yet to elect members of the
new House Of Representatives which as
sembles the first Of December. Those
states will elect democrats and South A
mericans. The republicans are through,
and their members count ll3, or six less
than o majority Of the House, the demo-
Gratis have but 81, or counting the new dele
cations from Maryland aud Louisiana, the
same as the old, 90 in alb There remain
independent anii.GdminiStIation democrats
elected by republican votes, and 90 South
Amercaus. Neither Of these smaller bod.
les will unite with the democrats in organi-
zing the House /; at least the Americans
will not, and The independent democrats
probably would not if they could, and could
not if they wonId. The republicans will
have their choice of organizing the House
by coalition with either body, the indie
pendent democrats or the South Americans.
Given the clerk or the public printer, and
either are ready to vote for "black re-
publican" speaker.
With which shall the union be made p
Which will give the greatest strength to
the republicans for the presidential cam
paign I? If the anti Lecompton democrats
come in they bring Col Forney as their
candidate for clerk or printer, and detach
themselves and him thoroughly from the
democratic party and, for all reasonable
possibilities, from Douglas himself They
are agreed substantially with the republi-
cans on the slavery question, and could
work with them openly 10 resistance to
slavery eneroaehments, and give them a
working majority on this question in the
House. They would also bring substantial
aid to the republican candidate in the presi-
dental election in states where aid would
be needed and in effect the union of the
independent democrats with the repnbli-
cans in the organizing Of the House would
consolidate the former and large classes of
their constituents with the latter.
Olibe contrary, if the republicans unite
with ~ South Americans, it will be sim.
ply for division of tho Offices, and not
with any prospect of their uniting upon
the same presidential candidate in 1860.
The latter now seems we'll nigh impossible.

feel that tbey must occupy a nominal pro-
slavery ground, and since they could by no
possibility give the vote of any state 10 a

We find among the documents taken from
old Browns premises, and now in the hands OF
Gov. Wise, the following letter, which we insert
on account of its local interest. The figures
read in some cases $500 instead of $500.

There is tolerable good reason to suspect
that GERRIT SMITH had some idea of old
Browns insurrectionary monuments. The let
ter found among Browns papers, point this way,
but will admit of another construction, but
when interpreted by the light Of another, which
Mr.. Smith sent to an Anti-Savery convention
at Syracuse in August last it is not difficult to
conclude that this cratic philosopher had some
idea of what was going on. In the latter docu-
ment he openly defends instructions as neces
sary to carry on the work of abolition.

irALF.-A new crisis IN the affairs of Italy
Is generally anticipated. Everything in Italy
indicates preparation for another struggle and
those best informed 10 Italian affairs, predict a
renewal Of the war. Napoleon asserts, indeed,
that having given the Italians advice as to the
settlement Of their internal affairs, he can do
nothing further. But II is not to be supposed
that be will permit the interference Of Austria
with central Italy. And yet the work Of fusion
between Sardinia and the duchies is steadily
going on, and SaFdinia IS daily becoming more
formidable, greatly to the evaporation of Aus
triu' whose great purpose it has been from the
start 70 prevent Sardinia from becoming de-
cided power. The only thing really settled as
between the three powers, France, Austria. ard

DINA All the other Italian questions remain
open, and liable at any moment TO lead to a yio-
lett rupture. The determination Of the none

the Catholic powers to aid him 10 that purpose.
still further compicates affairs. and it seems to
be nearly unavoidable that the Italians must
sun nght Tor the right OF selEgovernment. The
greatmilitary Preparations maintained by France
are only justified by an anticipation of hostili-
ties on large scale in some quarter, aud a re-
newal Of ihe italian war al aRy moment will not
be surprising. Aazzinni's Offering to the king
OF Sardinia the support of the democratic par

1t was stated in dispatch from Har,
per's Ferry that the Sharp's rifles in the
possession of Brown were those sent to
Kansas by the Emigrant Aid society This
society never invested dollar in arms or
ammunition and the statement cannot
be true. The funds of the Emigrant aid

" lie is the gamest man | ever saw"
The intmation thrown out by some of onr
Southern friends that in case of the election OF
a republican President in 1860, the first step
would be to seize the government effects at
Washington, and set up a government estab-
lshment on the South side plan, looks not lit

TO be their purpose and policy, now, TO run
q third candidate and stand oloof from Che
republicans. A union 10 Congress with
South Americans could thus extend only
to the organization, and though happy In
Auences might follow it for the presidential
canvass, the gain does not seem to be so
substantial as that possible in the other
quarter.
The process Of reasoning is going on D.
mong the republican congressman, aud its
results are obvious. The organisation is
likely to be speedily affected by union of
the republicans aud the eight nti-Lecomp-
ton democrats who prefer to go forward
rather than backward, and to leave Doug
las rather than be led by him into new SER
vitude to the slavery interest. Col. Forney
is believed to be willing to play his part,
and take his share in the resulting honors-
the clerkship Or the printing. Such com
biuotlon would be distasteful to Mr.. Doug
las, aud leave him substantially without
any distinctive party but Forney and his
friends can well accuse him of being the
dcserter-tbey are playing out the pro-
gram Of winter before last, while he falters
aud goes back. Such was the opinion of
Broderick, the California victim to his pur-
pose to leave forever the democratic party.
He never approved, but bitterly denounced,
Mr.. Douglass later course and his eX-
ample and his fate will urge on the inde-
pendent democrats to the union that is now
most likely to join their fortunes permanent
ly with the republican party, and give to
the latter the full control of the popular
branch of the government, and another
year Of the government itself.
