European journals have correspondents with both
armies, who give glowing pictures of the weary
march, the gay bIyouac, and the terrible battle

are reproduced on both sides of the Atlantic, and

wrinkled front of Mars, essentially democratic In
its nature, is Of American origin. The idea Is

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. %, 1859.
Jhad q conversation to-day with the Hoo Joshua
K. Gddipgs, in the course of which, alluded to mis-
alleged implication in old Browns scheme for
ibeIatiDs the slaves. He laughed at the charge.
Treason els lightly on his venerable shoulders He
Gays lie never met old Brown to his distinct recS-
lection, excepting on one occasion only.
That va more than year ago If I rightly re-
MEMBER aud at public lecture in Ashtsbuls County
which old Brown, he ssid delivered there After the
lecture, contribution was taken up, and Mf. Cid
oipes, publicly, gave the Of three dollars. Thst
was tho first, last, and only money he ever con-
tributed to the Captain.
In that lecture the Captain spoke Of the duty Of the
North TO the slaves and stated that he intended TO
devote bis life and bis energies to their cause Ths
was shortly after one Of bic Kansas exploits.
Captain Brown went home with him aud other
gentlemen and took at his house. The converse
ton turned exclusively on the Ksusas troubles and
the recent Oberlin Rescue case. Captain Brown wa
sucdeuly called away; and he has never seen him,
por heard directly personally, from him, from that
time TIL now.
He never beard Captain Brown speak of any pros.
pec Of forcible emancpstior OF melting nsurrec
ions on the contrary be understood him TO intend to
coIfre his operations to the L. G. Il. r.
lie was o. much astonshed az his sccusers at the
outbreak at Hapers Ferry, and never imagined that
Old Brown wac the terrible Bill Smith, who, with a
force of fifteen men, took Virginia with his right hand
ard Marylsnd with his left and shook them till every
corner Of the Union resounded with their sbriekings
He thinks the old Captain less culpsble also, than
the authors Of the Fugitive Slave law. For Old
Brown, be Gays by his declaration, intended to
commit no slaughter; while the men who voted for
the Fugitive Slave lag knew that its passage would
stain the coil Of the North with blood.
In Indians, in Illinois, in Kansas, in Pennsylvania,
human beings have been shot down in consequence of
the urngbteous enac'ments Of that statute. He will
develope these views il lecture to be delivered on
Friday night on the Serve In.uu ections in tho Uni
ted States.
Mr.. Gddings also denied that he had ever uttered
the sentiments now again attributed TO him with ref.
erepce to slave instructions.
You must remember the passage in which he Is
related to have said that he hoped to live to see the
day when the negroes, armed with British bsyonets
ard led by British officers would march against their
masters and overthrow Southern Slavery. 1t is now
Thirteen years since that passage was forged by q
worthless Democratic editor at Columbus; he has
denied IT, lie thinks on an average, every other year
snce il. publication and yet 10 slbserve base politi-
cal purposes 1t il periodically reproduced to influence
the votes Of the people.
