IN the plea of insanity for himself: he was not
al llarper'S Ferry, and nobody, as far as we
know, wishes to hang hin."
The comparative sound sense Of
RepuOlicanism in contrast with Dem
ocracy, every one will consider for
himself. But it is evident the Argus
had overlooked the last issue of that
kindred sheet from which it quotes SO
cordially, the Lecompton Times OF Sc
linsgrOye, which vcracious and odorif-
crous organ argucth in this wise
"A PL,iS QUfsrIov.-If all those engaged
in the Harper's Ferry insurgecuon either dl-
rectiy or as a5etto!s, committed high trcsSun
against the government and should be hung
for such unmlisa'ed treason, is there any
reason why the editor of the Lewlsburg Chrou-
lcle should not also have his neck stretched
with Virginia hemp Cor having for many years
been engaged IN abeuIne in tins cause We
think not Every Abolition paper in the
country, from the Union Demokrar down 10
the Mlddleburg Tribune, and from that down
TO the lewi>burs Chronicle, is as guilty for
high treason against the government, as abet-
tors ia the cause, as is Joshua Il. GiddIngS or
Gerrltt Smith; and there is nc reason under
the sun why they should not all be doomed TO-
selher with Brown and Cook, for they all
merit the same fate.
We are sorry to see any variance
between two such reputable Journal
lists as the Damon and Pythias-thc
David and Jonathan-(not to say the
PLATE and Hcrod) Of the ARGUS and
the TINES. But we really think the
latter has the best of the argument.
And if all Editors and Speakers who
dared to oppose Slavery, are guilty of
Treason, those who oofed against it
are also culpable-and those ladies,
minors, non-voters, and all who co"id
not or oared not vote against it, are
just as bad-hang EN-. Now, to put
up posts to execute two or three Mil
lions Of people, would be somewhat
expensive, and we think would prove
an 'irrepressiblc conflict" For if it
took the people of Ilarpers Ferry, al
ded by United States, Maryland, and
Virginia forces, two days TO capture
Browns mongrel squad Of II crazcd
whites and > negroes, what force can
be raised large enough to catch and
hang 100000 northern frcemen?
CGrrecti0nS.-ln our list of new STATE

MEssRs. EDIroRs: Your notice in last
weeks issue, of the pauper case of Lewis
burg VS.. East BuiIaloe, might mislead the
reader. The paper books and counter stale
ments were submitted 10 the Court in the
usual way-after the reading of which, the
c. J. observed that the Court had nothing 10
do with the case, as the decision of the Court
of Quarter Sessions, by Act Of Assembly, was
final and conclusive; would not be, by them
reviewed on cerliorari; and was about 10 en-
ter the proceedings affirmed, when a non proSS
was asked by the counsel Of LewiSburg. As
the words, mot argued" in manuscript. some
what resemble the words mon pross," per-
haps your notice of the case was atypograph-
ical error. d.
t8As we understand this virtually de-
cides the case in favor of East Buiialoe-un-
less some new writ be issued.
