The Harper's Ferry DimcuIty.

The Washington correspondent OF the Gin
cnnati Gazette makes the following statement
relative to what the papers of the fool-hardy
fanatic BROwN disclose:
The government have received the papers
found on the person and in the valise OF
OssawatOmic Brown. The papers disclose
that he kept a daily journal. in which he set
forth the details Of his transactions. which
show his purchase of arms in large quantities
and ammunition and stores of all kinds ncces-
sary to the success of an extensive insurI &C.
tion. Field spy-glasscs, picks and shovels
for throwing up temporary Notifications,
calls of boatswains. whistles of new kinds. be-
ing very shrill and capable Of being heard at
long distances, which are supposed to have
been intended for assembling his bands or
warning them of danger, were among these
stores. The whistles, IA per the hill found in
his effects, were made in Philadelphia and
forwarded to an agent OF his in Baltimore,
last week, per Adams K Co.'s Express. Some
of them were found in his valise. The names
of various persons in different States are en-
braced in his papers found, Rs being well
posted in regard To his plans aud movements
among whom are Gerrit Smith and Joshua
X. Giddings.
From the tenor Of his papers. it is now not
10 De- uOuDttu that the conspiracy, OF WHICH
he was the head aud front, had an extensive
organization in various States. There is
nothing in the papers found showing that ne
groes or Others belonging ut Harper's Ferry
or its vicinity, were aware before the fact OF
Bp WINS conspiracy.
Among other things embraced in this batch
of papers are said To be the names of various
persons upon whom he might rely for aid. in
case OF necessity 1t is also said 10 be APP
parent from them that he was promised instant
and extensive aid from abroad, which, a. the
result proves, fail d. There can now bc no
doubt that his grand aim was To create gen
ersl seryile insurr elton.
Renewed excitement has been engendered
tonight by intelligence. which IL doubtless
exaggerated, that u fresh attack has been
made In the neighborhood OF llarper's Ferry,
and that Sandy Hook, a small town in Mary
land. one mile from the Ferry, has been at
tackled by the rebels. do not credit the re-
port.

a great pity that such clever fellows should
have been brought up in such bad school
of politics.
we regard the last sentence as personal 20
us. Politically, we raised Col. WHITTHoRNE.
We took him when tender infant OF TWEEN
ty-five or six years and only put him down
a year or so ago. But it is not our fault that
he is now what he is. We labored faith
fully to make Wing of him, but couldn't
We rendered him dark lantern, and offered
to conduct him to the caves, caverns aud
culverts of Know Nothingism, and make
midnight assassin of him. He rejected the
lantern and refused 10 go. All our attempts
to bring him up in the nurture and admira-
ton of CLAY and BARTLETT were in vain.
And so we dropped him.
All that :" WATSON says of him as man
of talent, of pleasing address, and of
his making good presiding officer, is true.
He is, we think, the most talented member
of his party in the Honse-is among the
most talented out of it-and his political OPP
pOnents, not less chcerfully than his party
friends, bear testimony to bis consummate
efficiency as a presiding officer. So much
for our precept and example, any how. We
are content.

The Bank of Tennessee, it is said, may be
readily changed TO either system. -
A difference of opinion has arisen between
the officers of the Bank and the Comptroller
relative to the construction of the law re
quiring bonds of the Free Banks to b.
placed ON deposit in the Bank. The former
receive and treat them special deposits
the Comptroller contends that ii is the duty
of the Bank to treat them as general de
posts, and keep an account of them as Sc
much cash. The report suggests thai
if the construction of the Comptroller is t.
prevail, then an additional officer of th
Bank will be necessary for the performance
of the duties, and security required as il
other cases, and the fees now paid to the
Comptroller for services rendered by thu
officers of the Bank, should be assigned t.
the officer performing the duty.

The Richmond Conventional Sug-
gestIon.

On the twcnty-sacond day of February,
1850, the glorious Opposition party in Nr-
ginia will assemble IN Convention at Rich
mond. far the purpose of consulting in refer
cncc to the next Presidential campaign. We
are much gratiaed that they intend to hold
this Convention. from the fact that the
"OId Dominion contains some of the most
Sagacious statesmen OF the day. many Ot
whom are now aligned with the Opposition.
The proposed Convention will embrace the
purest. wisest and greatest of those, who will
adopt no course OF policy without mature de-
liberation. hut who having adopted IA course
will pursue il with the zeal and energy Of
men conscious Of being right which prevails
over the most formidable obstacles. Hence,
the result of the deliberations Of this Con
yention must be considered IA highly impur-
tant. and "a likely 20 have immense influence
with the Opposition all over the Union.
Deeply impressed with this conviction, we
would suggest that one or more delegates be
s,nt To Richmond from each of the other
States. by the Opposition. They can then
and there freely consult with the Opposition
OF Virginia 20 that the Richmond Conyvn-
ton could, with some degree of authority,
name the time and place for the assembling
of a National Opposition Convention. 10
nominate candidates To be- run for President
and Vice President of the United States.
We would snggest that the two Opposition
Representatives IRON Georgia. Hos. Joshua
Hill aud Hon. Thomas Hardrmau. Jr.. be ~
questcd TO represent the Opposition OF this
State on that occasion. Tor purposes II con-
saltalion.
What says the Opposition Of Georgia and
the South! Win they speak,
We copy the above from the Atlanta GAL
lNaiioaal Anserlosa. The action OF the Rich
mond Convention will have an important
bearing upon the movements u the Southern
Opposition, aud il would b. well eHongh tor
the Southern States TO send Representatives
to il for the purpose Of comforting with their
Virginia brethren and securing the adoption
OF line OF policy which all can unite upon.
Tennessee has. as Jet, made no movement
looking to the future organization of the op-
positin, though State Convention. on the
22nd day OF February has been suggested.
We would prefer 20 await the action Of yir-
giaIa and Kentucky, both Of which States
hold Conventions % the I'D Of February.

The Ho.ton Union rEee,sug

We have spread before the readers of the
PATRIOT the resolutions adopted by the great
Union Meeting in Boston on the sth inst,
and the speech made on the occasion by the
Hon. EDWARD EVERETT. Speeches were also
made by Ex-Gov. LINCOLN and Hon. CALEB
CUSHING, the former Republican aud the
latter Democrat. ExPresident PIERCE
sent patriotic letter which was read to the
meeting. We regret that want of room
obliges US TO forego the satisfaction of re-
publishing the remaining speeches, and the
letter of Mr.. PIERCE.
The reader will note that all parties, ex-
eept the Abolitionists proper. participated in
Abe meeting. This is a cheering indication :;
and one which should be received by the
South with pleasurable emotions. But we
find that there are men in the South who are
unwilling to accept IL as of the least favora-
BILE significance. On the contrary, they de-
clare that the proceedings of the meeting
are dclusion. that they amount to nothing
whatever. Mr.. McRAE of Miss, is one Of this
class. On the 18th inst, be made the pro-
ceedings Of the meeting the subject of com
meut in the House of Representatives. and
said theysere calculated 10 deceive and mis-
lead the South. Mr.. NCRAE is n disunionist,
and n democrat, of course-possibly he does
not care TO see the conservative sentiment OF
tbe Notwithstanding States predominate. Its
success would be ruinous to bis hopes for u
Southern Confederaey. Therefore, he would
repress the efforts Of such men as EVERETT aud
Cushing TO arouse the better feelings OF the
people of their States, joining GREELEY and
other ultra republicans aud aboliiionists, in
depreciating their labors. and then d, manding
Of them impossibiliIies. II Mr.. AcRAE and his
colaborers intend 10 demand Of Northern men
the defence of slavery-to require them 10
regard slavery Southern men do, not as
IN evil but a blessing they are Introducing
"a "impressible conflict" and substantiating
the doctrines Of Mr.. SEWARD. They are de-
manding that which cannot be attained;
and if backed by the entire Scuth. the destruc-
tion Of the government must inevitably en-
sue.
So far as they have gone, Mr.. EVENT and
Mr.. CASING have done nobly, and deserve
unqualified thanks. Instead Of depreeiating
thsir labors and ehilliag the warm emotions

swell their breasts. We should cheer them on,
