Nrw YOwS, October 18th, 1859.
Nests. Ediior>:-l.aSt night, according TO
the free negro reports Of this city, gathered by
the Evening Post" from them. was to have
been the period fixed upon for a general insur-
rcction at the South; bat that it was lorc>talled
a week or ten days by the invasion a, llarpcrS
Ferry, which WAS 10 have been the signal for
the general movement.
III" Post" Yesterday, gave the following
new name for the Old Dominion: browns
tract" We propose another new name for
Virginia, viz: ''7hs grill iroH nGhrh traitors
arc Cooked Erona.' viii the Post copy
this new name into lis columns:
The whole Of the Black Republican papers
are devoted to the honorable coul>e OF defend
tellin. and rcpcatin. the lies Of others regard
ing Iirown'S and Cookies history and act>.
IN English AbolitioniSi, named Rcdpatl,
formerly the Kansas correspondent Of the New
York tribune and now assistant editor Of
the Boston ATLAS" has landed Brown as Il
great hero, ofthe Puritan or Crornwcllian school,
which i, copied with ayidity by the Black Re
publican journals. This l;cipa,h, or rather
B!arLjmM, was said 10 have been the bosom
companion of Brown, Cooke 4 Co, in Kansas,
and hence a fellow feeling makes him Won
drous kind" Kagi, or Cagi, who was killed
under Brown at lIarper's Ferry, was said to
have been another lying correspondent oil the
''iribune' in Kansas.
The sympathy At the North for Brown and
his ~piratical crew is more general than what Is
believed. It prevails in nearly all the churches,
except the Episcopal aud the Catholic. Strcnu.
Gus efforts will be made to screen tie offenders
ut Charlcstown, and 20 clear them by post
poncmentS, changing venues, or other subtcr-
lugcS. Money will not 5c wanting TO supply
them with counsel. Collections for this puT-
pose are already being taken up at Worcester,
in Massachusetts. and strange enough, Il Clergy
man is engaged to act as treasurer.
\. question NAV arise. whether an abOlition!St,
like Chase, or GiJdin.S, or others Of that stamp,
not free from suspicion Of being garticeps
criminals, should be allowed to appear before
the Criminal Courts OF Il slave State III defend
ing men Of their Own reasonable faith.
The peace of the Republic has passed away
on the day Washin.ton'S advice was ignored,
or from the day that the North flnatica!ly, po-
~liticaliy divided from the South on sectional
geographical lines.
In our opinion. from which We free all re-
sponsibility on the part of the Enquirer
peace between the two sections can never be
restored. The South, no doubt, loves the
Union, and knowing what il cost, ciings to IT,
with the ~tenacity OF wrecked came to 4 shat
tered bark, and nothing but the lmpcriouS ne
ccs>ity forced upon her Will ever drive her
from its support.
Ifthc right feelings prevailed at the North,
regarding the recent bold and reasonable de
yclopmcntS OF aholitioni>m, would the brass "'
GiddingS have been tolerated in the repetition
ofhiS vile lies in Philadelphia againstth South
in the form Of a lecture: Would the Becchcrs
ard ChceycrS draw large and appiaudIng au.
dicnccs: Would papers in this city be found
engaged in daily traducins the South, and
directly or indiIc Getty defending the treason Of
Brown and his followers: And even papers
proicssedly with the South hope that Virginia
will deal l~cnicntly with Brown 4 Co.:
We wish TO say no more, and here leave the
subject
j. f. Cooke has Il brothcr.in.law, it is
said, residing in this city, and also friends iiv-
ing in Williamsburg and Brooklyn, where he
attempted TO study law with Il Connecticut law

out Il meek and i"cHeHsire mtn, or a mere
moon,struck poet, and good snot.'
There is a chap residing in this city, who is
IN abolition writer for the Tribune by the
name fill II. Helper. but who dates his articles
at Baltimore, with thc object, we suppose, Of
showing that A.bo!itioniSts abound in that city
OF the South. lie has been writing a book
against the South with the following title
"7Ie L~nJtaGimg Crisis al tie .Sonth'; which
he Is engaged in secretly distributing, gratui-
touslv, among certain citizens, with the object
Of thus claadcStinrly converting them over to
his "fanatical views. \ gentleman to whom nc
sent one Of his printed cards, handed it over to

When Il fanatic speaks for God, and says it is
Gods voice, and when he says God calls for an
answer, it is the fanatic who speaks and not God.
When 4 fanatic answers questions propoundcd

answers the questions, and not the Creator,
whom he insults by such pharisaical nonsense.
