CoRw1N VS.. FLoYD.-Durlng the admins
tration of President Fillmore, Mr.. Corwin,
Secretary of the Treasury, received an anony-
nous letter, warning him that the Sub
Treasury at Charleston, S. c., would be
robbed. The Secretary telegraphed to the
Sub Treasurer at Charleston, with instruc-
tons, and the room or vault containing the
public money was not only strengthened, but
a guard was set, &c. No attempt was made
at robbery, probably from the fact that pre-
cautionary measures were taken. The anony-
nous letter to Secretary Floyd, giving him
warning as to an attack on Harper's Ferry,
was well written, and appeared truthful; yet
not the slightest notice was taken of it, and
one Of the largest armories in the country was
taken and held for twenty-four hours by some
half.dozen Abolitionists! Secretary Floyd
was certainly guilty of direliction Of duty in
this matter, and it may be that Congress will
ask him for IN explanation.

the total revision or abolition of the present
County Judge system is the most import
ant and we are pleased to notice the unan.
unity of sentiment prevailing in this matter
throughout the State. 1t is pretty generally
conceded, says the Oskaloosa Herald, that
the present system of County Administra-
ton places too much power in the hands Of
one man, and we shall be glad to see some
system adopted which shall tend to diffuse,
rather than centralize, power and RESPONSE
blity. We ask the incoming Legislature,
in behalf of the tax. burdened and swindled
population of Pottawatttamie county, to
give this subject a careful and intelligent
examination, trusting to the intelligence
and discriminating ability Of that body, TO
provide some system that will protect the
rights of private citizens from the pecula-
tions of dishonest officials, and ensure a

Cook AND CoPPIc.-The Charlestown cor
respondent of the Baltimore american says
that, when the Harper's Ferry insurgents
were asked if they had anything to say why
sentence should not be passed upon them,
Cook and Coppic delivered short addresses.
Cook was somewhat vehement in his manner,
while Coppic made firm impression by his
great and collective style of delivery. Both
protested their ignorance of the attack ON
Harper's Ferry until the Sabbath before the
night on which it took place, when they were
called on to swear to obey the orders of their
commander, Brown. Coppic>stated that he
knew he should be punished for his foolhardy
attempt, but he thought it should have been
lighter than had been adjudged. The negroes,
Shields Green and John Copeland, declined
saying anything.
The same correspondent says: "The feeling
here now in favor of Cook is very great, and
accumulation Of punishment ttoimprisonment
would give great satisfaction to large majority
of the thinking portion of the community.
No reason is assigned for the feeling in favor
of Cook, except that he is Gov. Willard's
brother-in-law. Gov. Willard is Democrat
which fact is all that can commend him OF
Cook to the sympathy of the cbivalrous
Virginians.

The Next Congress.

The seth Congress will assemble week
from next Monday. As there is not clear
majority for either party in the House, con-
siderable time will probably be required to
effect an organization. Either the anti
Lecompton Democrats or the Southern
Americans can accomplish an organization by
uniting with the Republicans, but whether
either of them will do it is not certain. Some
stormy times may be expected through the
session. ..aaa 5. re .
The Senate is composed Of 66 members, of
whom So are Democrats, "a Republicans and
2 Americans, with vacancies. The House
is divided among parties as follows: Kepub-
licans, 1l3; Democrats, 90; Americans, %;
Anti -Lecompton Democrats, 8. The anti
Lecomptonites are Clark, Haskin and
Reynolds, of New York; Adrian and Riggs,
of New Jersey; Hickman and Schwartz, of
Pennsylvania; and Davis, of Indiana-all
elected by Republican votes. The Republicans
and anti i-Lscomptonites have majority of 5
in the House. .s,.,s .
If Tom Corwin should be the Republican
nominee for Speaker, he would probably
receive the support of some Of the Americans
and anti Lecompton Democrats, and be elected
without much difficulty. There is some
that COL Forney will receive the
united support of the Opposition members
for Clerk.

How OLD BaowN MADE THE MIssouRlANs
PsAY.-The following laughable incident
II related in connection with Browns cap

frontier last March:
The Sheriff, seeing the old mans prepa
nations, with prudential courage, wheeled
lie horse and galloped Of, dozens OF his men
Initiating his example. There was one
company, however, that refused to ny, and
Brown captured them.
He caused them to dismount and put ne
sroes on their horses.
Old Brown ordered them to be silent, as
he would not permit any blasphemy in his
presence. s.-.. a7. r
They swore again.
.S9.Knsel - said old Brown, as he drew his
nistol with stern earnestness, which left nc
room to doubt us intention.
They knelt down, and he ordered them

them to pray night and morning,
They never swore again in old Browns
presence. ... ...e.,....

az The offer Of $4,000 tor the capture
of Joshua r. Giddines and his surrender to
the Virginia authori tes is still repeated in
the Richmond papers, with the additional
offer of $4,000 for the production of his
head. So it seems that Virginia has fixed
bounty on assassination, aud also considers
the sight of the execution of such man as
Mr.. Giddings worth IN equal amount =
$4,000 for each. 1t is certainly question
Of serious import, whether, when an honor
ed and peaceable citizen of Ohio or New
York shall have a price set upon his head
by the slave drivers Of Virginia. the North
shall! keep silence. Only for one reason, per.
haps, the insult and indignity ought to pass
unheeded. The men who offer the bounty
are the most brainiess towards in the world
and to resent an insult upon such puerile
creatures would smack of cruelty to animals.

A SOUTHERN TERRITORY OUT OF CALIFORNIA.
AT the last session Of the California Legis-
laturc, a provision was made for submitting
to the voters Of Los Angeles, San Bernardino,
San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo
and Tulaye the question as to these counties
being separated from the State and erected
into Territory to be called Colorado The
law required that two-thirds of those voting
should make valid the consent given by the
Legislature for division of the State. The
returns received show the vote to be-for the
Territory, 2,457; against, s2s. This decides
the question, as far as the people are con-
cerned, in the affirmative, though it seems
strange that the matter of dividing the State
should be left to three thousand voters out of
one hundred and ten thousand who reside
there. 1t is probable Congress will be asked
to organize, at its next session, the six
counties above named into Territory.

OoPP1o's SPEECH. - The following are
given as the exact words of Edwin Coppic
when asked why sentence of death should
not be pronounced upon him:
"The charges that have been made against
me are not true. I never committed any
treason against the State of Virginia. 1
never made war upon it. I never conspired
with anybody to induce your slaves to rebel,
and I never even exchanged a word with
one of your servants. What l came here
for always told you. 1t was to run off
slaves into Free State and liberate them
there. This is an offense against your laws,
1 admit, but never committed murder -
When escaped to the engine house, and
found the Captain and his prisoners sur.
rounded there, l saw no way of deliverance
but by fighting a little. If anybody was
killed on that occasion, it was in fair fight.
1 have, as / eaid, committed an otfense
against your laws, but the punishment for
that offense would be very different FROM
that which you are going to infict on me
now. lhave no more-to say"
1t will be seen that he tells the same story
as Old Brown-that their design was only to
run off slaves to Canada, and that the she'd
ding of blood was not contemplated except
to defend themselves while carrying out
this design. Aa"3e ~ aaa-t

party and their slavery restriction policy
The Free States have almost unanimously
pronounced their verdict in favor Of the
Republican cause, within the present year,

sentiment will become stronger, rather than
weaker, before the Presidential contest of next
year. We have nothing to fear but indiscre-
