lFrom the \. I. Tribune
Those who are now straining every nerve to
make party capitR out Of Old brown, ore care
1al not to look ba8k ST fur as 10 see how an4
WHY he became a<houumanuc. They look away
IRON the TACT that his attempt TO get up an in
aurrection in Firginia IN n legitimate couSe-
.tnence Of the kansns- Nebraska bill, aud, but
!or the passage Of that measure, would nerer
have happened. President Pierce apd Judge
l,on.las are thus the real authors Of the late in
surrection. After them. scarcely less enitty are
::enators Badger Of North Carolina. Pierce Of
Mary1und, mud the great body Of Southern
Wings who followed their lead; and following,
in close and indivisiblc conjunction, come the
whale body Of Southern Democrats Of every
hue and description. There are Senators Ma
soek, and their associates, from Virginia;
Toombs, and Stephens. and Cobb, Of Georgia;
kejtt. and Brooks, and Butler, of South Caro-.
lima; Brown, and Jeff Davis of Mississippi,
Clay Of Alabama. and the whole throng Of their
associates, whose unmes need not be enumerat-
I'd. These are the real guilty parties in this
transaction. They are the true authors Of this
last iusurrection, and, as such, are the men to
lie tleld to account for its results, present and
future But while these are men Of the South.
and such rs Toucey 4 Co. from the North, who
nre the gully psrties, there are others who are
free from Multiplication with it. Tie individuals
who mar wash their hands Of all blame and all
responsibility for this event, are those few brave
men Of the South who resisted that fatal Incasurr
uu the ground Of the mischief it would work to
the South; such as Bell, and Etheredge, and
Cu}osn Of Tennessee, and l.unt. Of Louisiana.
These men can point to their record with pride
and with triumph at t..ia moment. While the
great body of Southern Legislators and States-
tncn stand implicated before the country as be.
lux the pro oximate authors Of the recent trag !;
1y ut Harper'B Ferry, these few truly brave and
enlightened guardians Of Southern tranquility
can point to their arguments and example rs
those which, If followed by consider1te men,
would hare spared the couptrJ the details, and
the Soulh The dangers. it seams barely to hare
the who1e body OF Anti Nebraska men from the
North, who resisted TINT measure Of iniauity,
That its fruits hare returned to plague its in
vcntors is no more than y as predicted, no more
than WIS 10 hare been expected.
Let those, then, no hare reProaehes to hesr
upon the authors of the uarper's Ferry bloody
tumult and geuera! Southern fright, 60 back TO
The true cause Of it all. Let them not blame
blind and inevitable instruments in the work,
nor falsely malign those who ere in no wise inl-
plicsted. directly or indirectly; but let them
patiently investigate the true source whence
this demonstration arose, and then hestow their
curses and their anathemas accordingly. 1t il
childish md absurd fot Governor Wise to acize
sud sit astride the wounded, painting body Of
Uld Brown, aud think he has got the villain who
set this mischief on foot. By no MEANS Tho
head conspirators against he peace Of Virginia
are ex.presidcnt franklin Pierce and SeIato-
Douglas. These nre the parties he should ap-
prshend, contine, and try, for eausing this in
surrection. Sextto them, he should seize upon
Senators Aason and Hunter, Of Virginia, as ac-
cessories. Let him follow up BY experimenting
every supporter Of the Nebraska bill, and when
he shall hare brought them nil to condign pun
ishmeut, he will hs5s ;;.ss-can.ged his duty, bnt
not till then.
