A REPUBLICAN THAT DON'T DODGE.
The editor of the Winstcad Herald-
a leading Republican paper of Connect
cut-comes down on the press of his
party with an honest Indignation, at
their abandonment and abuse of "Old
Brown" now that he is in adversity.-
We extract the following:
And here we may as well say have
no admiration for that class Of Rcpubli
can newspapers which are so eager to
dlsclam and disavow all fellowship and
sympathy for Old John Brown. Did
they stop here, we could be patient with
them; but when they go farther and
pelt him with the titles of mailman, crazy
muddled and insane, we say, out upon
them for hypocritcs and trai.ors-''little
villains unworthy to lick OF feel the foot
of Old John Brown. His plans may
have been injudicious-we are not al
present able to Judge of them; but it il
plainly evident his friends did not stici
by him in the hour of trial, Us men STOOD
by each other eighty gears ago. The
fault may not be his. but OURS. Whel
men pledged their lives, their fortunes
and their sacred honor, eighty years ago
they meant what they said and perform
ed what they promised. We are sor
rowfully suspicious that in Old Browns
case men did differently. At all event,
he is unsuccessful, and so Republican
presses, the country over, fearful tina
their party will somehow lose vote, ant
themselves an Office, fall to mounting
Old Brown IS twelve months since they
praised, and vie with each other in de
nouncing and abusing him. For shame
Old Brown has more Dobleness in hi
soul, more honesty in his heart, NOR,
principle in his action, more courag,
in a single finger, than all such poll
ticians from Maine to Oregon. He dare,
to undertake what YOU, in the securit,
Of your sanctunas, only, are BOLD II
PREACH.
Ex-GovERNOR READER AND OH
BRowN.-About a fortnight ago, Their
appeared in the New York Tribune
communication from a correspondent
writing from Easton, in Pennsylvania
who signed himself "a Pennsylvani:
Republican" 1t gave the cue for til,
defence of Old Browns treason-name
ly, the treatment he had received from
pro>slavery men in Kansas. Itprofesset
to be narrative of his career in Kansas
and was in point Of fact, tissue of lie
from beginning to end, cxalting Brown
into hero and martyr. A cores
pendent of the New York Herald say
there can he no doubt that the COMMIT,
nication was written by Ex-Governor
Rccder, and that it can be proved tina
Brown paid him long visit in his offic.
in April, 1858, and that it is positivcl,
asserted he was there again on tho &c
day of October last, only a fortnight
teTc~e the outbreak at Harpcr's Ferry
For a mailman, Brown seems to hav'
hal qaite long list Of distinguished
il.euds and admirers Gerrit Smith
Giddings, Hale, Greeley, Sumner, Reed
er, &c. OF course these men all knew
he was a horse-thief by profession, anc
that he had committed many cold-blood
ed murders. But what Of that II,
was the very man for Kansas work,
which we take TO mean murder ant
treason."- Wheeling Gasette.
DANCES NOW IN VOGUE IN PARIS
We have been permitted to see lette
received by Professor l.. DeGarmt
Brooks of this city relative to matters il
the dancing world Of Paris. The ole
quadrilles arc dying out gradually ane
the lanciers do not monopolize as mucl
attention as usual. Tho quadrIlc !,
Russc is "all the 60" and forms the chic
feature of Partisan balls and soirees.-
1t is described as an exceedingly grace
full and interesting dance, affording gal
liant gentlemen and coquettish n.estlames
numerous opportunities to display their
relative merits. The salon Of Oelarius
who is the inventor of the new quad
rifles, is nightly crowded, and, in add
dition to the le Russo, an occasiona
quadrile and lancier or two, polkas
waltze', sc1ottisches and galops are KEEP,
up with genuine French vivacity. New
York will be in a fever when this new
chop" comes out, and Brooks says he
will have the figures and music very
soon. Besides, the Paris lasses in the
new dance wear their hair according te
the recently announced fashion, and n
the New Workers will follow suit, wha,
on earth will we poor masculines do p
Look out, girls, now is tho time to cap
