The attempt to make political capitol out OF
such event is little short OF the offence itself
aud those whohave embarked so eagerly in that
disgracetul work, deserve equal reprobation
with the criminal confederates of Brown So
far as we have seen, the whole Republican
press, with one accord, has denounced tho act
with as much en- phaslS as the press of anyoth-
or party at the north or south. 1t is a matter
which admits ofzno division=o of opinion among
right thinking men, and those who have ats
tempted, with super .Serviceable zeal, to get the
start by raising partisan cry, are utterly un.
worthy OF confidence orsrespect. We protest
against every open or insidious attempt to
make any party responsible for an outrage
which the whole moral sentiment of the conn.
try rebukes with unqualified and unsparing
condemnation. The miserable suggestion that
this mad adventure is the result of sectional
antipathy, or tho Development Of any or
ganized hostility to Ithe south, is too base
TO demand retutation. Any other crime
might as properly be charged to the same nc.
count When, not very long ago, a cargo of
Africans was imported into Georgia. after pu bic
warning bad been given by the chief capitalist
OF that enterprise, of his purpose to try the
experiment, the south as section was not held
accountable for that fragrant violation OF law
and moral duty. A statute ofsthe United States
stlgmatizes the traffic as piracy, and arms the
hands OF civilized man everywhere with Weap-
ons OF summary justice againstit. There are
tens OF Thousands of men at the north and we
believe at the south, too, who conscenliously
regard the slave trade with as much horror as
the south does servile inSurrcction. Butthey
would have been grossly culpable in holding a
whole section accountable for the acts of venal
gang ofspeculators in human flesh So, ON the
other hand, must every attempt be regarded
y hlch proposes TO charge the north with the
insane but indefensible conduct of Brown and
his followers.

Douglas IN every trouble, but it appears that,
since his death, some fthe Douglas organs are.
disposed to speak rather disparagingly of him.
The Chicago Times says:
The personal associations of Senator Broder-

not the advantages of refined training, and be

The Chicago Tribune makes this bitter. retort
-wEetherju just or unjust, we knownot:
Perhaps Mr. Brodericks early associations
were not Of the most select, but the people Of
Illinois know that they could never have been
lower or more disrcputable than those OF Doug.

Ask those who furnished him with rum on Gre

sibleitalk with the voters of New York, in view
of their election next Tuesday, takes occasion
to make this forcible remark about Old Brown I:
As to Old Brown, We rejoice in the opportu
