Seizure of Public Arsenals.

The Democratic papers speak of the cap
ture of the United States Arsenal as unpre-
cedented in the history of this nation. The
truth of history requires that this should
be corrected Not only is II not new in
cident, but the capturing of United States
Arsenals in notable case been adopted as
Democratic policy. In 1855, on the 4th of
December. the United States Arsenal at Lib
erty, Missouri, was seized in manner
which undoubtedly formed the precedent
for Browns seizure at Harper's Ferry
Cept. Leonard, of the Army, who was in
charge, relates the particulars. He says
Judge James I. V. Thompson, of Missouri,
came to him In the arsenal yard, made him
self very social and wanted to see the armo
ry. While In the armory gang consider
ably larger than Browns. took possession
of the entrance and made Capt. Leonard
prisoner. What then followed we give in
Capt. Leonard S own words in his disposition
before the Kansas Investigating Committee,
the report of which will be found interest
ing literature at this time, as it quite takes
the monstrous features off from Browns in
vasion of Virginia.
The mob proceeded to take arms, forcing
the doors, and took three six-pounders,
some swords, pistols, rifles and ammunition,
powder, balls, &C., as much as they wanted.
They broke some doors open. I do not
know how they got the keys to get into the
powder magazine, which is composed of
brick and double doors. Capt. Rice was
the leading man in the crowd, as l under
stand. Mr.. Rout was there. l was kept
in the room until the men had got all the
arms and munition they wanted and had
gone away. Judge Thompson being the
last one, when he let him 90 out, and then
he left himself
This seizure of an Arsenal was to pro-
cure arms for the celebrated Missouri inva-
sion against Lawrance, an expedition not
much worse than Browns, except that his
was to free slaves, and theirs to murder free
men to make way for slaves. This sort of
thing has gone far enough. We are glad
the government has had its attention called
to it. 1t was singularly resigned, to the
Missouri affair; but the recent repetition
shows, that such things are infectious. Now
we call on the President to 60 in vigorously.
All these Missourians can be found, with
out doubt. They have a wonderful gift of
preserving their own hides. The leaders
probably hold government appointments;
that is the haven to which most of these
patriots drltted. Judge >. L. V. Thomp-
son is no doubt high in authority in Mis-
souri,. So also Captain Rice, that gin his
treat, and Mr.. Rout. Let the government
indict and hang these insurgents that seized
an United States Arsenal, these invaders of
a peaceful territory, and these traitors to the
nation. This will be an excellent prepare
ton for the execution of Old Brown. Then
all the people will exalt the justice of our
government. But if all these insurgents,
robbers, murders and traitors, are to go
free, and Old Brown is hung, the people and
future generations will call it a cowardly
murder,-totally destitute of the first prin
ciples of justice Ohio State Journal.

The Great Eastern in the Storm.

The dreadful storm which lately swept
around the coasts of Great Britain and Ire
land, has at least dissipated the delusion
that vessels of ark like size are to prove
arks of safety and undisturbed repose to the
sea going world. The correspondent Of the
London Times on board the Great Eastern
thus reports the effects of the gale:
'tCapt. Harrison and the whole crew were
at their posts, ready to run the ship out if
necessary. Between 2 and the wind al
most equaled the force of hurricane, at
times Jerking at the masts as if it would
snap them off at the deck, making the Great
Eastern tremble perceptibly throughout her
immense length and breadth as if some gil
ant hand were shaking her. Capt. Harri
sons waterproof coat was on his way along
the deck blown to ribbons off him. and he
himself at last carried before the gale. and
blown down and tumbled along with such
violence as TO receive some severe contu-
sions. The saloon skylights were blown up,
and wind and rain poured into the saloon
The upper woodwork was leaking at every
sea. and the lower decks soft and splashing
from the driBpings. Three anchors were
down, and appeared taut to the very utmost.
At 6 the break-wate works were giving
way-portions of the wreck once or twice
fouling the screw, and it was found neces-
sary to swing by one anchor. At 1890
A. M. it parted, and the ship was adrift,
rolling and tumbiing towards the Shore
4 second heavy anchor was let 90, and the
screw moved ahead, but it again fouled--
The paddles were then driven round at
speed, and were somewhat damaged by the
floating timbers. The anchor held. The
screw golfers, two brigs, two dummies, and
one galliot. all hung to the ship. In this
last struggle some of the links of the cable
were actually dragged out one third longer. |

ideas, of pride and man. Behold him, crea-
ture of span, stalking through infinite
space in all the grandeur of httleness.-
Perched on a speck of tie Universe, every
wind of the heaven strikes into his blood
the GOODNESS of death; his soul floats from
his body like melody from string; day

along the heavens, through laby sinIh
of worlds, and all the creations of God are
flaming above and beneath. Is this a crea-
ture to make for himself a crown of glory,
to deny his own flesh, to mock his fellow,
sprung from that dust TO which both will
return? Does the proud man not err p
Does he not suffer Does he not die p
When he reasons, is he not often stopped by
difficulties When be acts, is he not often
tempted by pleasure When he lives, is he
free from pain When he dies can he es-

There,s Room Enough for All.

What need of all this fuss and strife,
Each warning with his brother?
Why should we, In the crowd of life.
Keep trampling down each other
Is there no goal that can be won,
Without squeeze to gain it
No other way of getting on,
But scrambling to obtain it
Oh fellow-men, hear wisdom, then.
In friendly warning call
sY our claims divide, the world is wide
There's room enough for all p
What if the swarthy peasant find
No field for honest labor,
He need not idly stop behind
To thrust aside his neighbor.
There is a land with sunny skies,
Which gold for toll is giving,
Where every brawny hand that tries
Its strength, can grasp living.
Oh, fellow men, remember then,
Whatever chance befall,
The world is wide-where those abide,
There's room enough for all.
From poisoned air We breathe in courts,
And typhus- tainted alleys,
Go forth and dwell where health resorts,
In fertile hills and valleys
Where every man that clears bough,
Finds plenty in attendance,
UP, leave your 1oathSoLne cities. now,
And toll for independence.
Oh, hasten, then, from feYered den,
And lodging eramp and small
The world is WIDEN land beside,
There's room enough for all.
In this fair region far away,
VIII labor find employment
A fair days work a fair days pay,
And toll will earn enjoyment.
What need, then, of this daily strife,
Where each wars with his brother?
Why need we, through the crowd of life,
Keep trampGng down each other?
From rags aud crime that distant cline
Will free the pauper's thrall:
Take fortunes tide-the world go wide,
Has room enough for all !
