NO. 6 we cut from the telegraph dis
patches Of the last Gin. "Enquirer' which
reads:
."BALrIMoRE, November, 3O-Three
passengers by the Western train on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, were taken
out of the cars to-day, on arrival al Hal-
per's Ferry, by the military there, and
Imprisoned, under the following circum-
stances: Parties of merchants Of Cincin-
nall started for Baltimore at Grafton, were
heard to express themselves quite freely
relative to Blown, by expressing sympa-
thy for h'm and his family. The conver-
salion was heard by man alleged to be
a sry." .a ~
Now that, we take it, is Democracy un-
diated "Parties Of Cincinnati mer-
chants on their way East, are overheard
by a $pyin the cars, to utter sympathy for
Brown and his family!' Could Democ-
racy be expected to stand that? The
cars pass through Democratic Virginia
Could anything be more proper than that
they should be "taken out of the cars and
impfisoned?" What! citizens of Ohio!

just right! If they had caught ngger
apece-voed the Democratic ticket and
taken "pass" from Deputy Marshal
they might doubtless have gone on to the
end Of their journey. Let all others who
have occasion to travel through Demo

BY The way, the reference to spies in
the above dispatch reminds us of a good
one which we saw in the "Ohio State
Journal" on the announcement that Gov
Wise had sent his spies throughout Ohio.

This fest is no doubt inlallible in Ohio,
but when citizen is logged by these
wretches until in the course of his bust
ness, he is led through Virginia on the
public highway, audthere seized by ruf.
fans in arms and hurried to prison, and
perhaps to torture, the aspect is somewhat
changed.
We could fill the Telegraph with SINH
lar items, but forbear for the present. with
the simple question, show long will this
state OF things be endured before patience
becomes exhausted and retaliation begins?
And how can good citizens of Ohio and
other free States, and who must in their
calmer moods Gepreeate such scenes, af-

in poverty the influence they give to the
party which is controlled by the small
class of slave holders in whose interests
