En-. REPUBLICAN Since Old Brown is hung.
Virginia feels pacifed and revenged in part
The hanging scene was Characteristic OF the
chivalry. No one but enemies were permitted
near enough 10 hear his last words from the
ralloNs, even if he was permitted 10 utter any.
This was, doubtless, q valuable precautiOn on
their part, for Old Browns daring speeches be-
done quite as much damage 20 the LOcofoco
party and slavery, as they could well bear, and
il was well for them that they shut him of from
uttering any thing further 10 the public. The
gallant GOV. Wise did permit his dead body
to be delivered TO his widow and issued an
order that it should be delivered ''unmutil.
ated" except, Of course, by the choking pro-
cess that it took TO deprive il Of mortal life.
/ After the body had hung for hall hour,
some dozen or more Virginia Doctors cxamin-
ed il to see If life fairly extinct before it was
allowed TO be cut down. After it Was pronoun-
ced dead however, and cut down, some of
the patriotic shareholders fearing il might come
20 life on its way north, in n purer atmosphere,
proposed that double dose of arsenic should be
forced down his thrOpt TO make the thing per-
tcctly sure At the last account it had arrived
at its final resting place and was still dead, and
if the body don't dig out III the course OF the
next six months, | hope the State Of Virginia
will become comparatively quietcd down on the
subject. Ihr wife at John Brown was sent II

her lady travelling companion was not allowed to
accompany her. After enjoying a short inter-
view with her husband his request 10 allow her
70 remain the last night of his life in the cell with
him, was refused, and she was dragged from his
embrace and sent back TO Harpers Ferry, to
await the arrival of his lifelcss body "uumutlla-
ted" Now Governor, 1t was reported for sew
era days before his death tina, he was engaged
writing statement TO the public, but 10 such
statement has been found, and if he wrote one
the presumption is that the proslavcry author

of course he such al one they would not like
to see made public.
The Southern Post Masters have decided to
brake open all tie mail bags, examine their con-
tents, and when they lind any northern uew-pa-

proper sentiment, they will make bondfrc of

could hardly have been made to believe that they
would ever be subjected to such insults by the
slave power, but 50 it il, and we must stand il
until the people rise up and elect IA Republican
President who will appoint Post Master Gen
eral and Cabinet that will deal out exact and
even justice to all sections Of the country under
the constitution.
Congress mas . -. . - A..
ing TO organize by electimg Speaker. The MS,
thing introduced by the Southern men bers was
the piqger, and they have been riding him ever
since, TO defeat an organization. As always
heretofore, they were the first TO introduce the
subject q slavery while they always talking
against the people Of the north for "agitating"
the question. The Republican candidate for
Speaker, Mr.. Sherman of Ohio, has | 10 to the
Democratic candidate Sc, and the balance seat
,ering The inevitable result must be, that the
Republicans will organize the House sooner or
later The constant threat of "DisuniOn" from
the LocOtoco members, has lost its power-and
tons of personal violence, the Republicans stand
up To the rack, and if they commence any more
slaughter in the Halls of Legislation with canes
pistols or bludgeons for truth spoken in debate
aud again attempt the life of Sumner, who has
returned TO his seat, any other northern man,
trust they will ge, their pay on the spot. II is
about time such things we're met by the law Of
self-preserva,iOn. The Republicans have taken
a digniied and national stand and they will main
tain it like men.
If any thing was needed TO arouse the feelings
Of the north, these scenes and the action of the
southern Members of Congress upon the very
Threshold Of the session, would be enough To
accomplish it.
As FAR as can learn the Republicans of Mich
gan are going to prepare for Almost gallant and
successful fight in 1850. The State Central
Committee have ALREADY taken hold Of their du-
ties with 4 determination that cannot result
otherwise than in largely increased majority !;
am not disappointed to learn that the Republic
cans in ali parts Of the State are ready to re-
spond promptly and cheer.ully TO the work in
hand. The general good feeling, and harmony
that prevails, with our present efficient organi
cation throughout the State, viii make Michigan
Gibraltcr among the Republican strong holds
i'll the Union. The Democracy are already Dis
couraged and distracted, by our union, and by
the firebraudS thur=t into their own work, BY de-
signing demasosues of their party who are new
or at rest, except they can bring all the grists
to their own hopPers.
Yours, CAMPUS.
