We request our readers to peruse the authen
ito documents which we publish below, show
ing the completely Of Giddings and Of other re
publican leaders with the attempted seryile in
rurecton st Harper's Ferry.
All the letters signed John Smith" are IL
the hand writing Of one Of the sons Of Ossawal'
omie Brown, and are endorsed in the hand'
writing ofthe latter These documents most
clearly esisb blsh most extensive conspiracy,
extending throughout portions Of Ohio, New
York, and New England, and some towns, we
regret to say, 10 Pennsylvania. We rejoice
TO learn that, so far ns the revelations are vet
made known, not a silgle democrat has been
engaged 10 this conspiracy. There is a marked
difference also between the comments on this
subject Of the republican and the Northern
democratic press, By the latter this insurrscs
tionary movement is universally denounced in
terms of severest reprobation. and the Northern
democracy have devoted their best forts To ars
rest aud send the perpetrators to their sister
STATE Of Virginia, TO be dealt with according to
her laws:
WEST ANDovER, 20 } July 30. 1859.
DEAR Sla yesterday received yours Of the
25th in stant together with letter Of instructions
from our mutual friend lsasc,s enclosing draft
Tor 800. Have written you as many as three
letters, think, before this, and have received
all you have sent, probably.
The heavy freight of Is boxes sent of some
DAYS ago The household stuff, consisting Of
six boxes and one chest / have put in good
shape and shsll, think, be able to get them
| on their way on Monday next and shall my
self be on my northward within day or two
thereafter
Enclosed please find list Of contents Of boxes
which il may be well TO preserve.
All well. The drought we are now having
in this region is now fast finishing all that has
started since the frost. The grass crop is so
| light that people are becoming alarmed now,
especially since the corn crop is most likely to
be total failure. Shall write often.
Respectfully, DC, SMIrH.

DEAR FRlEND forgot to say yesterday that
your shipments Of freight are received, all in
apparent safety; but the bills are very high,
and begin to be appTehensive Of getting into
tight spot for want Of little more funds, not'
withstanding my anxiety TO make my money
hold out. As il will cost no more expense for
you to solicit for me little more assistance
while attending TO your other business-say
two or three hundred dollars, in New York
drafts, payable to the order Of ]. Smith d Sons
will you not sound rly Eastern or Western
friends in regard toit? II was impossible for
me to forsee the exact amount / should be OBJ.
| liged to pay out for everything. Now that ar
ran ngements are so nearly completed, l begin TO
feel almost certain that can squeeze through
with that amount All my accounts are
squared up to the present time; but how / can
keep my little wheels 10 motion for few days
more am beginning to feel at a loss. 1t is
terribly humiliatiDg TO me to begin soliciting
of friends again, but as the harvest opens be
| fore me with increasing encouragements | may
not allow a feeling Of delicacy TO deter me from
asking The little further aid expect TO need
What must have to carry me through shall
need within a very few days, If ] am obliged TO
call direct for further help; you will please
expect something quite definite very soon. /
have endeavoTed TO economize In every possible
way, and will not ask for dollar until am
driven TO do so. have trife over $3.50 on
hand, but am afraid cannot possibly make it
reach. / am highly gratifed with all our ar
rangements up to the present time, and feel Ger.
tain that no time has yet been lost Our freight
| is principally here, but will have to 90 a little
further. Our hands, so far, are coming forward
promptly, and better than i expected, as we
have called on them. We have TO move with
| all caution,
