YEH AFFAIR AT RARPER's FER

The late affair at Harper's Ferry continues
to occupy a large share of public attention
and the amount of matter that has been pre-
pared for the press and published, it reference
to it, would fill a volume. The excitement in
the region in which the outbreak occurred con-
tinues intense. We give to-day various arti-
cIes on the subject. which will doubtless be
read with interest, including u verbatim re-
port of a conversation held between the insur-
gent leader. and Messrs. Hunter aud Faux
ner of Virginia and Mr.. VaIIandigham of this
State. 1t will be seen that the last named
gentleman was exceedingly anxious to draw
out something from Brown that would impli-
cate J. R.. Giddings of our State-which eff
fort is well characterized by Mr.. q. as dis
honorable 1t will be seen from his publish
ed card that Mr. G. emphatically denies that
Brown ever consulted him in reference TO his
proceedings i'll Virginia.
Some OF the Democratic papers, of the ba-
ser sort, are endeavoring to turn the matter to
political account, by charging that the Repub-
licans are responsible for the actions of Brown
and his followers, and that our party sympa-
thisesswith them. This course is infamous il
the last degree, and will utterly fail in its OBJ
jet. The conductors OF such papers vel
know that the Republicans, through their res
olutions, orators and press, disclaim any dispo
sition or right to interfere with Slavery in tho
States in which it exists; and they know, too
that Brown, Gerrit Smith, Garrison and theiI
associates, neither act nor sympathise with the
Republicans.
The prisoners have been indicted for murder
and treason by the Virginia tribunal within
whose jurisdiction the rebellion occurred, and
their trials were about conmcncing-that O
the leader, Brown, being first called. Messrs
Green and Bolts were assigned 10y the court az
counsel to defend the accused, and Brown haC
applied for a few days delay in his case in con
sequence of physical ability, but the decision
of the Court on his application had not beer
announced at last adrices. There seems to bt
a disposition on the part of the authorities Il
; give the accused d fair trial, and to dispose o
the cases without delay" @

viction that he is demented, is strengthened by
this recent event, we can but say that death

THE coRzssPoNDENcz

The Virginia authorities claim to have Sc
cured among the captured effects of the insur-
gent Brown, over 5000 letters, many of which
pertain to the insane enterprise in which he
was engaged. Prominent among those it is
claimed are implicated by the correspondence
are GgRRIT SMITH aud FRED. DOUGLASS. The
only letters of either party that have yet been
made public we give below. That from Smith
shows he furnished Brown money, but it does
not appear that it was TO be used in his Har-
Peris Ferry enterprise, unless. the :. Kansas
work referred to can be thus constructive
it is more than probable that the work - thus
alluded TO consisted of running off slaves
to Canada, in which Brown had been cnga-
ged in Kansas. The letter of Douglas GER
tainly does not smack very strongly of trea-
son, and in order to impIicate him something
more decisive must be produced.

Gathering all the facts and rumors concern

it is difficult to decide whether it should be
called Il ludicrous tragedy, or a solemn farce.

GERR1r SMITH IN CoNeREss.@" Occasional,
Of Fsrney's Press, describes this distinguished
philauthropist IS follows:
Gerrit Smith, while in Congress, made a
very favorable Impression. His appearance
was exceedingly striking. A very handsome
man, of about ffty-fve years of age with his
shirt-collar laid broadly over his neck a fine,
healthy, ford face, and portly, erect, and dig
nifed form, he was a study. Having received
a classical education, and being possessed of
uncommo advantages as a popular orator, he
was quite a Cicero IN debate. He delighted
IN the. most elegant hospitalities, spending his
money with q frequency and freedom that was
a subject Of general remark. He was ready to
crafty every appetite except that which ex-
pected wines or spirits, and he presided at his
board with the dignity Of King Arthur at his
-.round table" The most welcome guests at
his house were Southern men, and they, with
heterogeneous, out-spokep warmth, spoke of
Smith as one Of the best fellows in the capital,
as one. although we'll known as an abolitionist,
still as one TO be tolerated. -i Cos

Letter of Hon. =. n. Giddings in the
Philadelphia North American.

While coming to this city, or Saturday, 1
first read a telegraph dispatch from Washing
ton, saying " that John Brown 1.-THE prisoner
captured at Harper's Ferry) refused in the
presence of Senator Mason and Messrs. Faulk-
ner and Vallandigham, to answer the question,
whether be had consulted Mr.. Giddings about
his Virginia expedition? :"
1t is evident that the object of these gentle
men was not to obtain facts on which to predi-
cate a charge of crime, or of any immortal
or dishonorable act. Had such been their Oh
ject they would not have published what was
not said but they proclaim their suspicious,
and by such inuendoes and insinuations to seek
to impugn the character Of one who was not
present.
L do not feel called on to reply to such at
tempts to cast r~eproach upon myself. | say to
these questioners gentlemen, l am your peer.
l have served my. country as long and | hope as
honestly as either of you and you know, and
the country knows, that any question you may
PROFOUND to me touching the government, its
past Of present position, will be frankly.
promptly and fully answered, to the extent ofmy
knowledge and belief and | pronounce this
attempt to asSail me d~ishonorabIe, unworthy
of .your positions, unworthy Of honorable men.
But you must not expect TO escape the re-
sponsibility of your own conduct by thus as
sailing one who has for years cautioned you of
the results that must follow the efforts of your
selves and party to extend slavery, and your
determined purpose to involve the people of
the free States in the disgrace and crime of
supporting an institution which all honest and
independent men of those States repudiate.-
No man of our nation has done more than one
of you to produce the results which have re-
Gently attracted the attention of the people.
They are the immediate and unmistakable eff
fects of the efforts of yourselves and party to
establish slavery in Kansas. Murderers there
were rewarded by Executive appointments to
office. Browns sons were the victims of that
despotism which your party exertcd i'll favor
of an institution which the people abhorrcd.
These facts do not rest on suspicion, nor on
the refusal of a victim to answer any question.
They rest upon the records, and the history of
the government itself. No evasion no tergiver-
%sation, can change the enduring truths to which
l refer. And you would better suberve the
public good by e~xerting your influence and oe-
cupying your party have brought upon the
country than by vain efforts to involve others
in the crimes which you and your associates
have committed.
TO the public I will say that Brown never
consulted me in regard to his Virginia expedi-
ton, or any other expedition or matter what
ever. J. r. GIDDINGS.
