| We suppose says our cotemporary Of the
State Journal that Senator Mason, felt that
Governor Wise had been turning oil the sensa-
ton business to his own benefit, and that It
was necessary for him to do something in that
line quick, TO head of the Governor therefore
he may be excused for little haste in forcing
his resolution to investigate the seizure Of the
Harper's Ferry Arsenal upon the Senate before
IL had organized The Harper's Ferry matter
will Keep, and for purposes Of information there
was no need Of this haste, but the inquiry itself
is well enough, and if fairly carried out will ef
fectuay collapse the Virginia bubble, No one
supposes II possible that the party that raised
this panic, believed that thero is any foundation
for it, but they have really frightened many
honest persons and the inquiry will be benef-
cial in relieving their minds, as well as in expos
ing the criminal accusations that have been
made against republicans
But no investigation will command the conf
dence of the people, if the Senate stultify them
selves at the outset by refusing to investigate
also the seizure of the United States Arsenal
at Liberty, Mis-, ,ouri The issue seems to have
been plainly made by the declaration of Sena-
tor Green of Mo-, that the seizure Of that Arse
nal by the border ruffians was justifabe, and
the appointment of a commission on the seiz-
ure at Harpers Ferry refusing to inquire into
the other, will be virtual declaration of the
Senate that the seizure of Government Arse
nails, to drive emigrants from the free states out
of the territories is justifable while the same
act by abotionists is so momentous that the
Senate cannot wait for delberation or organiza-
tion to begin the agitation.
Furthermore any inquiry into the seizure of
the Harper's Ferry Arsenal that does not also
investigate the notorious plot of Governor
Wise in 1856, to seize this Arsenal and the fort
at Point Comfort, would be on insult to the
American people, and mookery of delbera-
ton. Let not this inquiry be made an indOrse-
meut Of treason and rebellion anywhere
The act of John Brown and his band is veni-
al compared with the same act in Missouri jus
tilted by the entire South and now by the Sen
ate of the United States. He aud his men
have rendered full satisfaction to the law. The
law has yet to be vindicated iu the other case.
Impartial justice, a full investigation, and the
rigid enforcement of the constitution and laws,
is the only policy that will quiet the country.
The South may as we'll submit to it at once.
The monomauia of John Brown will not cover
all her past rebellion nor release her from the
authority of the constitution and laws 10 the
future.

SLAVERY DRAMATrsED.-CrowdS gather
nightly in New York to witness the new play of
Mr.. Bourcicault, "Fhe 0ctaroon, or Life in
Louisiana" In the present excited state of
public feeling nothing could be more interesting
than picture of slave life, which betrays some
Of the deepest wrongs Of the slave system, with
out word of rantiug. Mr. Bourcicaut, is one
of the most successful English dramatists Of the
day. The Octaroon is still novelty; it remains
to be proved whether it is to become favorite.
1t embodies the truth, sad truth, a blot upon
nations fame, yet its embodiment is gentle and
kind 1t is the story of southern family, hero
ine being Zoe, natural daughter one eighth
of whose blood only is African. The slave of
her own father, her story is only that of thous-
ands of young and beautiful girls in our land,
damned from their birth. The most remarkable
scene is slave auction taken from life. 1t
promises to become as popular as Uncle Toms
Cabin.

SOUTHERN DIsGUsT AT PROFESSIONAL UNION
SAvINo.-We presume the great mass of the
intelligent southern people, if they would make
their opinions known, would agree substantially
with the Baltimore Patriot in the following es-
innate of the northern union-savers:-
1--WE preceive TINT the locofoco dough-
faces in Boston, New York and Phladel-
phia propose holding meetings for the pur-
pose of appeasing the wrath of locofoco dis
unionists in the South, at the recent exhibi-
tions of foolish sentimentalism for John
Brown, by handful, here and there, of
abolition dsunionists in those cities If
there be ary character in the world that we
have any contempt for, it is the officiating
doughface Of the free states He has no
real regard whatever for the South and its
institutions, and yet, under the pretense of
sympathy for them, he will proclaim himself
our friend, keeping his eyes steadily all the
while upon the peeual0rg benefit to be de-
rived therefrom. He will do anything that
southern fire-eaters will require of him, even
to licking the very dust off their Shoes and
though these partzans are perfectly aware
OF bis hypocrisy, yet, strange to say, they
affect to be gratified at the exhibition
Why is this! Because they hope thus to
get his vote. This is the sum and substance
Of the whole operation, and what is more,
its real object. The locOfocos of the South
demand the sacrifice, and the locofocos of
the North are ready to make it.
''We want nothing to do with dough.face
sentiment. The American party of Mary
land know what they themselves think about
slavery, and they are willing that the peo-
pie of other states shall have their opinions
about it too. They do not hold that diff
ference of opinion, on this or any other sub
ject, is sufficient to keep the opponents Of
locofocoism apart in the great struggle Of
next fall Indeed they believe the expul-
sion of the locofoco party from power will
be sure to result in excluding the question
of slavery from politics entirely"

GENERAL SCoTT's VALET-The Generals
valet is no inconsiderable parsonage, al
though he is a foil to his master-one is a
giant, the other adwarf. The latter hovers
around the General as a wasp does around
a cow. Why great men should thus secure
such puny efforts know not, but our dwarf
is consequential parsonage lie dresses
the General; busses around him with a
whisp; dusts him off; seizes his hat, and
brushes up the Generals few remaining gray
hairs; wipes the nap Of the hat, replaces the
same, and the whole duty is conducted in
silence. These attentions are repeated three
or four times a day. and the General takes
the same as matter of course He never
replies or thanks-it is matter of course
and the little tiger, with his gray military
cap and garrotte collar, struts around as
important an individual as any one on board.

JAMES REDPATH writes to the New York
Tribune:

per's Ferry, but is now in Canada. have
received this news from +. I. Merriam, who
succeeded in escaping, and is now at the
town of Chatham, with Barclay Coppic, the
brother of the condemned prisoner at
Charlestown. If it be true that man
named Coppic mas been arrested at Charles
town, and that he is a relative of the pris-

Harper's Ferry. Miriam, who was suppos-

Mayor elect Fernando Wood was absent in
Washington when his wife died suddenly, on
Friday morning after the election, leaving an
infant The event was unexpected, and is pro-
badly TO be attributed to the mental excitement
and anxiety from which she could not have been
exempt during the late election canvass in which
her husband played SO conspicuous a part She
was daughter Of the late Judge Richardson
Of Auburn, n. Y, and leaves family.

The ALARM IN ENGLAND as to a French inva-
sion has almost entirely subsided since Napoleon
has commanded the French press to assume a
more friendly tone towards England, and the
London Times, which was SO lately sounding the
alarm and calling for preparations to resist the
invaders, now declares there is no danger. Moth.
ing further has been done in the war between
Spain and Morocco, and the English government
is endeavoring to bring about reconciliation.
In twenty days after the allied French force
landed in Morocco, one fifth of them had died
from diseases incident to acclimation, and the
Spaniards are not unlikely to be persuaded out
OF war in which the elements will prove more
fatal to them than the enemy.

FRACTIoNAL.-The estimate has gained cur
rency by being asserted upon the floor of the
Q. S. Senate, and not denied that but one twen-
tieth of the people Of the South, and but one
sxtieth of the people Of the United States, are
shareholders This small fraction of the coun-
try by its incessaDt camor and bravado, has
been the dominant party of the land, and the
same that is now struggling, and turning heaven
oad Garth upside down, to secure the contnu-
ance of that domination.
Mazzini has written another letter. in which
he argues that the italian revolution must be
extended, or it is useless. LOCALIZED" he SAYS.
"it becomes poweress." He aliirms that there
is a movement in Sicily which has been prepar-
ed for long time, and ready for explosion at
moments notice. This uprising would extend
over the whole state and would swell the move
ment in Italy to such proportions that it's chiefs
would be entitled to treat on terms of equality,
as from power to power for the move must
bring the king Of Sardinia once more upon the
field of action.

No one not totally blinded aud demented by
passion aud prejudice can examine Helpers
book without becoming convinced that the
charge against it, of It's being seditious aud rev.
olutionary, calculated to incte insurrection and
rebellion, iswithout the faintest shadow Of a
foundation. If census statistics, and authentic
figures, can be called sedtious and reasonable,
then this book may be but not otherwise
The FIRST portion Of the volume is devoted to
a comparison drawn between the results Of
Slave Labor and Free Labor, mainly as they
are exhibited in the reports Of the last CEN
sus upon the population, wealth, production
&C., of the different sections of the country,
contrasted with former statements Of the same
conditions to show the relative progress or de-
cline that has resulted. These comparisons are
not fattering to tbe Southern States---but they
rest upen stern, indsputable facts, and every
successive census exhibits the same contrasts,
and points the same conclusion These differ
ences are traced to the existence of slavery in
the one section, and of Freedom in the other
The remaining portion presents mass of
testimony against slavery, gathered from the
speeches and writings Of Southern Statesman,
as well as from those of the illustrous in oil
countries and ages, together with the decara-
tions of the Churches against it. aud a copcud-
ing series of statistical facts of less direct bear
ing upon the argument of self interest than
