A New Revolutionary ,AIovement-Com-
plicity OF the Republican Leaders with
John Browns Rebellion.
We have always said that the Republican
leaders sympathized with the convicted rebel
John Brown, and with the abortive revolution
in which he played the principal role. Some
of them, fearing the consequences of legal COM
plicity, have denied, or half denied, that they
were conspirators in the plot or took any
active part in furthering the outbreak at Har-
per's Ferry. We could not, Of course, expect
them to convict themselves but deeds arc
stronger than words, and qualified or unquali-
fed denials avail but little against the array Of
facts presented by the conduct Of the repubu-
can chiefs, both before and since the rebellion
in Virginia If sufficient legal proof for con-
viction cannot be produced against them,
neither would they, if placed on trial to-mor-
row, be fully acquitted in the minds of the
people whatever jury might be compelled 10
do in the absence of Overwhelming positive
proof The most they would be entitled to Is
the Scotch verdict, "Not proven" Grave sus-
picion cannot fail to attach to their skirts, and
there can be no doubt that they are guilty Of
moral treason and that their speeches, their
writings, private and public, and their acts,
have stimulated John Brown and his associates
to the deeds of murder and treason for which
they are to suffer, while the originators and
fomentors Of these crimes escape unwhip* Of
Justice. Since Browns arrest and conviction
they have endorsed him in the most decided
manner. Their lectures, letters, speeches and
editorials have proclaimed him hero, and ex-
pressed the warmest sympathy with the criminal
and his cause. But now we have to record
something more practical and substantial than
words-the subscription of money, the test Of
sincerity. We copy the following from the

New YoRK, Nov. Is, 1862 THADDEUS HYATT.
Now, money is the sinews of war; and when
we take into consideration that Greeley ia
mixed up with all the revolutionary funds, from
that Of Slievegammon to that of Harper's Fer
ry, and when we remember that this Hyatt is
the quondam Secretary of the Emigrant Aid
Society, which collected one hundred thou
sand dollars for rifles and munitions OF
war for the use of John Brown and his associ-
ates in Kansas, who tried hard to make gone
raj revolution in the country out Of the
troubles in that Territory, it requires no great
stretch of Imagination to assume that the col
lection Of money proposed in the foregoing
letter and editorial article is for second edi-
ton of Harpers FeTy-the putting on tho
stage the next act in the bloody drama Of re-
volution. 1t is declared to be for the family
Of John Brown and his sons families. But that
may be an ingenious mode of making the col
lection legal, and keeping the subscribers out
of the meshes of the law; and, to say the least,
it looks suspicious.
Hyatt, as we have said, was the Secretary OF
the former revolutionary organization which
collected SO large sum Of money; and now,
under the endorsement and encouragement OF
Greeley, he is at work again. When Colonel
Forbes was about to start for Kansas to or
ganize and discipline the revolutionary forces
there, Greeley gave him and Hyatt a dinner
together, after which he accompanied the
Colonel to the railroad depot, on his way to
