Peter Sken Smith, of Philad., having

have for some years noticed, in his singu-

without endorsing many Of lis poliica

and love the man, even though they may
abhor his sentiments. His personal pop

The November Elections.
THE NORTH, \ UNIT.
The "Cii Brown" Game a Failure !!

If the Democracy did not manage
the Harper's Ferry folly from first ID
last, it is certain they seized it with
the utmost ayidity as a means OF ope-
rating against the Republican party
in the then pending elections. But
odd Bro n couldn't save them. In
New jersey, CHARLES ). OLDEN has
1900 maj. for Governor over the bes:
and most popular Democrat in the
State spent more time and money
to gain that Office than any man has
before him.-In Massachusetts,, Gov.
BANKS is reelected, by larger vote
than all his opponents. and the lcgls-
Iaturc is largely RepubIican.-ln New
York, both wings of the Democracy
conspircd with the Know NotLings
and SEwAED's personal foes, on half
the State Ticket; hut of the s clean
Republican candidates are chosen,
some 10y 25,000 maj, and the Rcpub-
lican5 have two to one Of the Judges
and Legislature chosen.-In Miscon-
sin, Gov. RANDALL is reelected, with
the whole Republican State Ticket
and Legislature, 10y the largest maj.
ever given at State Election.-And
in Kansas, the Republicans carried
the Territorial Legislature, and gave
Mr.. PARROT 5000 maj. as Delegate
to Congress. Ills opponent, a Judge
johnson, was sustained by the Border
Rutfians, the National Democracy and
the Herald Of Freedom"

pA-The Kansas Herald of Freedom is
quoted by the Buchanan press as proof Of
the story recently trumped up, that Old
Brown ruthlessly murdered five men in
Kansas before his sons were killed. Now
this "Herald'' is a professed Free State
paper, bu. is really SPY and traitor
protesting to be Gu our side that it might
do US the more injury. There, it is repu-
dated by our party-is openly supported

Republican" paper, that!
1t appears tha. Brown is not and never
was a Republican, but that is no reason
Why be should be belied. He asserts he
killed none but in fair fight, and We are
inclined to believe him. Redpath and
others say it can be proved that Brown
was fifty miles from the fatal spot. Who
killed the men, and for what, is unknown.
Iii very handy to charge it to "Brown;"
and any moustrous falsehoods the Lokeys
may want to invent for the next dozen
years they will pretend they /" found it in
