A% The papers found in the possession

AT The papers found in the possession
of Brown after his capture, demonstrated
beyond all doubt the existence Of wide
spread conspiracy at the North for the for
eible suppression Of Southern slavery. and
letters from Gerritt Smith and Fred. Doug
las, prove their completely in the late out
rage at Harper's Ferry. #, in . legal
point Of view, these men can be convicted
as accessories before the fact, we devoutly
hope that Gov. Wise will demand them Of
the States in which they reside; in such an
event the issue would be directly made up
between the North and South, and on the
action of those States from which the pris-
eners are demanded, would depend the re-
vival or the total extinction Of good feeling
between the two sections, and ever, the ex-
istence of the Union itself. If the Cover
nors of those States were to deliver up all
those implicated in the Harper's Ferry out
rage, the Southern people would see that
the North, as section, felt no sympathy
With such scoundrels as Brown & Co. but
If they should refuse to comply with the de-
mand Of Virginia, then the South will know
what safety is to be expected in the Union,
and act in the premises as reason and pru-
aenee shall suggest.

Trial OF Farrar.

The examining trial Of VIM. Farrrar,
for the killing Of Michael Vance, came up
before the County Court, on last Monday
The circumstances Of the killing briefly were
as follows: It seems that Vance had used
improper language in the presence Of Far
rar's wife, which being related to Farrar,
by his wife, determined him to chastise
Vance With this resolution he started to
the field where Vance was at work, and &C
eusod him of the fact, which Vance pro-
nouneed lie, whereupon Farrar struck
him three Or four times with his fist Gas ne
alleges) one Of the blows dislocating his neck.
1t is proper to state chat Farrar alleges that
he struck him more forcibly because Vance
had knife in his hand at the time. after
an examination of the evidence, the Court
concluded to send the Prisoner on for fur

from Paraguay contradict the report Of the
death Of President Lopez. He had how
ever, retired from the active administration

indisposition, and charged one Of his most

affairs. It Was not expected that the son
Of the President, Henrique Lopez, would

government, and every privilege tending to

falo, Oct. ga lette, is published in this
mornings papers signed by Hon. Willard
Fillmore, Hon S. G.. Havens, and num-
Der Of influential citizens, addressed to Mr..
Rollin German, requesting him to make a
public explanation Of his principles Of con-
struction for steam navigation. He propo-
ses to establish amongst others the following
pr opositions: that steamers may be constitute
ted to run 100 miles al hour, and So strong
that the greatest oceanic forces would not
endanger their safety; that the economy Of
their movements would be such as to reduce
the cost Of transportation to less than one
fifth Of the present rates; that when loaded
with large freight and passengers, and fuel
enough for voyage around the world. she
would not draw over % feet; that as a war
ship one would be an overmatch to ali exis-
ting navies. Mr.. German has made the
subject his study for 13 years, and now
makes it public for the first time. Eminent
engineers Of the United States pronounce
the plan practicable and destined to work a
complete revolution in steam navigation.

"HARpERs FERRY" IN Teacr SOCIETY
A number Of fanatical clergyman composed
of Abolitionists and Black Republicans,
have been in session for some days at Chi
cago, ILL., Their discussions were pr:nci-
pally in regard to Stewards ',irrepressible
conflict" During debate which occurred
among these sympathizers of "Ossawattomic
Brown" Lewis Tappan insisted that volun-
tary shareholders .should not be fellowship
ped as Christians in good and regular stand
ing.
The Rev. Mr.. Cochran, Of Wisconsin,
said that no one had right to suppose that
the Holy Ghost designated the highest crime
referred to in the Scriptures. If the Holy
Ghost had designated them, He would have
declared slavery to be the highest crime on
earth.
The Rev. Mr. Schlosser was in favor OF
the abolition Of slavery, peacefully if posi-
bic, but to be abolished any way. He be-
lieved that slaYes were justified in obtaining
their freedom by any means. He would b
|iu favor of instruction. if that were neces-
essary. He believed it would be so and
he, if he were slave. would make his way
to freedom through the blood of oppressors

The Opposition papers Of the South are
just now cackling with much gusto over a
considerable mares nest Of inconsistency
which they have found and inpnte to those
Democratic journals and politicians who
have disagreed with Judge Douglas in bis
territorial policy, aud denounced him for it.
bat who now express determination to
support him as the NOMINEES Of the Demo-
cratic party against any nominee Of the
combined Wing, Know Nothing and Black
Republican parties The fact is that there
is no inconsistency in the case, II Mr..
Douglas should be the regular, fairly cho.
sen nominee Of the Democratic party, run
ming against the candidate Of the Black Re.
publican party, (for in q coalition Of oil IT,.
elements of opposition, the Black Republi-
can being the largely preponderating elc-
ment, must of necessity ''rule the roost' to
the exclusion Of oil Others we say, in such
a contingency. can any Democrat hesitate
rs to his ehoice2 We for one, although
we shall continue to oppose the nomination
of Mr.. Douglas with our whole might, aud
though we have never and will never pledge
ourselves to support him as the nominee Of
the Charleston Convention IN any contin-
gency, yet we would certainly support him
without hesitation and sealously in prefer
snce to all corners Of the Black Republican
or mongrel-coalition stripe. Mr.. Douglas
we know is good Democrat, barring his
''squatter sovereignty" heresy, and aay
candidate nominated by the mongrel OPP
position must be tainted with abolitionism
and deeply imbued with Black Republican
ism. In Mr.. Douglas we could place I'm
plicit confidence ia case Of an emergency,
such as that which occurred at Harper's
Ferry the ether day. In President who
owed his election ia the main to the Black
Republican party, we could place no seli-
anee, and this last consideration recent e.
vents have shown us, is no unimportant one
in connection with the next canvass. We
would advise the Opposition. before they
denounce the inconsistency Of the Demo
cratic party, to bewail and repent Of their
swn sins, which prompt them to pray and
enter into coalition for the spells with a
party which they have never ceased, until
vary lately, to brand as the very viless Of
she yile--as enemies Of the South and az
sraitors to the Union. aH.sife Esas

Brown and Gidd;ngs.

Since the miserable, contemplate failure
of Brown'in an expedition which, had it
been successful, would have exalted him to
the highest place among abolition heroes.s
his rascally and cowardly aiders and abst-
tors at the North, such as Giddings, find it
convenient and even necessary to repudiate
IN toto all connection with the late outrage
against the sovereignty Of Virginia and the
Federal Government, enacted It Warper's
Ferry. These remarks arc suggested by .
card published by Joshua r. Giddings,
of Ohio. denying any completely in the
late expedition against Virginia, and de-
Tending himself from the iusiuuation i'm
piled by Brown Ia his refusal to answer a
question asked by Senator Mason. as to
whether Giddings had been consulted In
reference to the affair. In spite Of the be-
uevolent gentlemau's denial. we hope the
following. which we clip from the Wash
ington States. may prove true, and that the
guilt Of the sheaking scoandrel will be de-
inohstr.ted to the extent Of high treason.
G1Dpikos AND OTHER BLACK RrruBL1-
CANS l.PLlcArrD. The government, it ia
Understood has in its possession letters which
implicate Giddings and other leading Black
Republicans with the insurrectionists at
Harpe.'s Ferry. The documents show that
the conspiracy extended throughout por-
tions,of Ohio, New York, New England,
and some townsin Pennsylvania.
One Of the letters, dated October l. 1859.
is written from West Andover, Ohio, by

Other papers show that the "stock" and
the association are directly connected with
the attempt to excite servile ;nsurrectior
