Mr.. Bates and the Republican.

The Republican of yesterday distinctly
states that Mr.. Bates did not authorize the
statement of his political opinions as published
in the Evening News, and that MIR. Bates does
not hold the sentiments therein contained
The Republican has not been admitted tc
any political association with Mr.. Bates fol
the past two or three years. He broke ground
with that paper on the Kansas question. and
has been opposed to it ever since. Therefore
it knows nothing at all of his political opinions
and is not qualified. in any sense, to speak o.
them. The News has, indeed, said that the
statement was not authorized, but that it was
based upon MIR. Rptes' public record and his
private conversations.
As far as we are concerned in this matter,
pe state By authority and as an absolute fact
that Mr. Bates does endorse every ,Uord
and sentiment contained in that statement

office of the Plain Dealer, as compositor,
attempted to shoot Richard Moore, also a

Meeting him near the City Hotel she de.
manded of him. that he take hack his accusa.

missed him--the bullet passed within few
inches of bis head. He then seized and
wrenched the pistol from her, Again, in the
evening, she fred at him, as he entered the
hall OF his boarding house, on Chanplair

Moore is said to be worthless fellow.
He has published card in the Plain Deale,

A slanderer.

The Kansas Herald of Freedom, published
at Lawrence. and edited by g. w. Brown, is
claimed by the Democratic papers. as Re
publican paper, and its ISLANDERS on Capt. John
Brown, are eagerly copied. i7a
The Herald of Freedom is not and never
was Republican paper. The paper is Bit
terly opposed to the Free State men, and Free
State cause in Kansas. After begging and
getting funds of Free State men to start his
paper, the base G. w. Brown, betrayed them
who had befriended him-and turned traitor
to their cause. 1t is, therefore, as much the
proper work of the Herald of Freedom, to
rail at John Brown, as it is that of Democrat
ic papers-and the ST statements of the one are
entitled to as much respect as those of the
other, and no more. ai9 ast ,sis ss
So far from being Republican paper, the
Herald Of Freedom is friendly to Buchanan
and in return for the betrayal of the Free
State cause, receives the patronage of the Ma
tional Government. in public printing. &C.
And yet, this paper, by Democratic journals
is styled a Republican paper, and its ISLANDERS
upon John Brown, republished as from Re
publican source. Is this honest and just ?

eerrit Smith and his Hallucinations.

UTICA, Nov. IL, 1859. 81
The Hon. Gerrit Smith, ex-member of Con.
gress has been confined in the Lunatic Asylum
here since Monday last. His mind is consid-
erably disordered, but his condition is not so
hopelessly bad as has been represented, and
his physicians hope that the regimen and care
of which he is subject, and the absence of ex-
citement, will effect radical cure.
lt'was only by stratagem that his friends
succeeded in getting him here. He has been,
ever since the arrest of Brown and his Har
per's Ferry followers, haunted with the idea
that he was culpably responsible for all the
lives that have been and will be sacrificed !;
and so much have this reflection and the fear
of being called on 10 answer at the bar OF jus
tice, preyed upon him, that his mind, never ex-
empt from a tendency to he unhinged, gave
way, and reason deserted her throne. '
For some days before the absolute necessity
of restrictive measures became apparent to his
friends and relatives. he manifested most Ger,
vous anxiety to anticipate the requisition which
he expected would be made upon him, and to
proceed to Virginia and surrender himself in
to the hands of the authorities. When it was
resolved to place him under restraint this anx-
iety of his was taken advantage OF. His
friends pretended to chime 10 with his notion.
and when he set out for Utica. he was under
the impression that he was on his way to Rich
mond or Charlestown.
am assured that, though he sympathized
with and sustained John Brown in Kansas, he
is in no way implicated in the recent move
ment of that now distinguished Individual
His position as inmate of the asylum here is
therefore, solely attributable 10 that peculiar
sensiliveness of mind he is known to have
possessed. and which has given way, startled
from its seat by the shock consequent on the
sad events which have followed the mad course
of this same Brown.
That Gerrit Smiths ease is one of decided
lunacy is certain. STILL his friends consider it
far from hopeless --.ts.F. III. -. .esr ass

New-York Election Result.

l Q6 1TlUuHo VI 1NOfs LOU says
In almost every county, the official canvass
increases the relative vote of those Democrat
ic candidates on the State ticket who received
the votes of the Brooks Americans, rendering
the election of Messrs. Jones and Richmond
certain, that of Mr.. Skinner probable, and
that of Mr. Elderkin not unlikely. The two
former have ut least thousand majority over
their Republican opponents; the two latter
are elected or defeated by two or three hun
dred votes On the other hand, those Re
publicans whom the Americans supported are
chosen by majorities of twenty five to thirty
thousand. The vote OF the several parties al
this election will compare with that cast by
them respectively last year nearly as follows

The Anglo African newspaper. the organ
of the colored people of the North, says
sJohn Brown is one of the age. and the
man of the American continent. He is far in
advance of thus much of the country in which
he has lived, and being full of we'll spent years,
aud of brighter hopes to day than ever of the
ultimate success of the great work of the
liberation of the bondman--the highest ain
o: bis life-he is now ready, if need be, to be
offered no. 6.. ~
Whoever will read the examination OF
Brown, can be but struck by his wonderful
superiority over each and all of his eaptors
not excepting Governor Wise himself; and
none more than the Governor has been made
sensible of this fact. His (l}rown's) large
humanity in sparing the life of those whom it
was in his power to take, and necessary to
the prosecution of his plans; yea. even neces.
sary to save his own life, was one of many
great proofs of this kind. His determination
to implicate no others, even to save himself, is
another proof of the moral grandeur of the
man. = 755a s- -Hy.1. sos s.,
The same paper also announces that the
eloquent Rev j. Stella Martin whom we sup
pose to be colored fugitive. will discourse
next Wednesday, in Shiloh Church, on Ma
thaniel Turner, the slave leader of the famous
Virginia insurrection Of $780, in which he
paid the penalty of his life. Nat. Turner, as

all of his property that can be collected to

A,a Far nro.un,s Fam,1u.

Mr.. Thaddeus Hyatt, of New York, in pro-
posing plan for the relief of John Browns
family, says:
have photograph of the old man, pre-
sented to me by his own hands, an admirable
likeness let all who sympathize in the pur=
pose send each a dollar. and will forward for
each srch sum, an exact copy of the original,
and with it, if possible John Browns auto
crap. The proceeds from ten thousand such
copies will produce fund of eight thousand
dollars for the benefit of the helpless and af
aicted one whom the Kansas hero so touch
ingy cemmends to our sympathies and care.
The N. Y. Tribune of Nov. 10Th, says:
We are overwhelmed with letters~ urging
that fund should be made up for the bereav-
ed, destitute families of John Brown and his
sons, and asking US to receive contributions in
their behalf. Whatever has been or may be
sent US for this purpose shall be handed over
to Mrs. Brown but we prefer that contrion
tions should take some other channel. The
proposition of Mr.. Thaddeus Hyatt seems to
me by far the most fit aud feasible of any that
has yet been suggested. Each dollar sent to
Mr.. Hyatt will secure Photographic (not en-
graved) likeness of John Brown to the giver
and a surplus over the bare cost of photo
graphing of IS or 80 cents for his afflicted
family. We believe there are ten Thousand
persons who will gladly obtain good likeness
of Old John at this rate, which would give bis
family, including the widows and children oil
his sons, some 81 500 to 5000. Mr.. Hyatti
integrity and devotion to Freedom and hu
manily are widely known, and every dollar
sent to him will be sure to reach lis proper
destination.
