The SOUTHERN FlLlBusrERs RELEAsED-A
different measure has been meted out to
Walker and his crew than will be probably
dealt to Brown and his set. Walker, who
organized an armed Invasion of peaceful
neighboring state, has been acquitted by the
New Orleans courts but Brown can only
look forward to execution. Yet We do not
see that Browns enterprise was any whit
more atrocious than Walkers. Both ~
templatcd invasion and bloodshed. But the
des'gn Of Brown was relieved by q generous
though mistaken purpose of giving freedom
to an oppressed racs, while that Of Walker
had M other end than to establish slavery
on new soil. Brown was the victim of
his own heated and disordered fancies, while
Walker planned his s;heme. in cold blood,
and with the mot deliberate selfish ends
Southern law knows of NO penalty for Walk
er, although it can scarcely wait its own
tsrdy processes in its eagerness for the life
of Brown.-N. Y Post.

this county, for reelection. Its example will
doubtless be followed by the other counties in

towards developing it, and making it what It

Columbus, Ohio, last week.. A colored man,
named Rice, was induced, under false pre-
fences, to 60 from Mt. Gilead to Columbus,
and, when he arrived at the Columbus depot,
was nabbed BY the kidnappers and carried of
to Cincinnati, where, after a mock hearing
before U. S. Commissioner Newnll, he was
hurried into slavery. Rice, it is said, is free
man, and has lived at Mt. Gilead for the last
eight years. It is time this disreputable
business was stopped.

you without delay. have discovered the

it's object THE LIBERATION OF THE
SLAVES ATTHE SOUTH BY A GENERAL

ready, those of their number who are in the
Northern States and Canada afe to come in
small companies to their rendezvous, which
is in the mountains in Virgins. They will
pass down through Pennsylvania and Mary
land, and enter Virginia at Harper's Ferry.
Brown left the North about three or four
weeks ago, anu Will ANN AVH NEUCSOELO
and strike the BLOW in a few weeks, and so
that whatever is done must be done at once.
They have large quantity Of arms At their
rendezvous, and probably distributing them
already. As ana not fully in their conf
dence, this is all the information can give
you. I dare not sign my name to this, but |
trust that you will not disregard the warning
on that account"
The above is more tangible and positive
information concerning the plans Of the
insurrectionists than is shown to have been
divulged to any prominent Republican Of the
country, and yet the entire Democratic press
is charging them with treason because they
did not scent out and explode the plot! What
will they do with Mr.. Floyd, the Democratic
Secretary of War, who was made fully
acquainted with it, but kept mum? Is he
not guilty at least of misprision of treason
Is there is not reason to believe that all the
wire-workers at Washington knew Of old
Browns design, but suffered him to proceed
in order to make political capital out of the
affair?
