The following emphatic Card from the Hon.
JOSHUA r. GlDDrNos was published in the Phil
adelphi North American Of Oct. 25ih. Mr.. @.
denies all completely with Brown, and places
"tho saddloo on horight horse" with a double
sifih. lie says.
While coming to this city, on Saturday, first
read telegraph dispatch from Washington,
saying "that John Brown (the prisoner captured
at Harpers Terry refused, in the presence Of
Senator Mason aud Messrs Faulkner aud VAL
lan5igham, TO answer the question, wheth'r
he had consulted MIR Giddngs about his Nir.
ginia expeditionlr EH
Il is evident that the object Of these gentle
men was net to obtain fscjs ON which 70 pred
icate charge Of crime, or Of any immoral OF
dishonorable act. Had sucn en- thelt object
they would not have pubIisled what was not
said; but they proclaim their suspicious, ahd Oy
such inuendocs and iusinuotons seek TO i'm
pugu the character Of one WHO was tot present.
10 not feel called upon to 10 ly 10 such at.
temps to cast reproach upon myself cay to
these questioners, gcRilcmen ] am your peer -

/ knowledge and belief; and pronounce this at
tempt TO assail me disjolora unworthy Of
your positions, unworthy Of honorable men,
Bat YOU must not expect to escape the re-
| sponsibiity Of your own conduct by thus assall.
ing one who has for years cautioned you ftho
results that must follow the efforts ofyonrselyes
aud party to extend Slavery, and your deter
mined to involve the people Of the Free States
in the disguce and crime of supporting an in-
sttution which all honest and Independent men
of those States repudiate. No man of our ma
ton has done more than one ofyou TO produce
the results which have recently attracted the
attention Of the people They arc the immcdi-
ate and unmistakable effects of the efforts ol
yourselves and party to establish Sl1yery in
Kansas Murderers there were rewarded by
Executive appointments to cilice. Brown 8
sons were the eyictims Of that despotsm which
your party exerted in favor of an institution
which the people abhonod.
These fears do not rest on suspicion, nor
on the refusal Of victim to answer any ques-
ton. They rest upon the records and the his.
tory ofthe Government itself. No evasion, no
terriversatiOn cim change the enduring truths
TO which refer. Aud YOU would better sub.
serve the public good by excrting your influeEcs
and occupying your time in correcting the evils
you and your PARTY have brought upon the
country, than by vain efforts to involve OthcT'

have committed.

The Herald Eehoins tho south {.

The Cleveland Herald yesterday turned its
accustomed somerset. 1t still pronounced
Capt. John Brown "demeuted," and yet emu
lated the slaveholdcr's eogerness for the poor
m1dman's blood! For example;
The Savannah Republican says;
Like the neighboring population, we go in
for a summary vengeance a terrible example
should be made, that will stand out as beacon
light in all time TO come"
The Cleveland Herald responds
"The safety of our government, The lives Of
the wives and children Of Shareholders demand
summary justice
The Charleston Courier declares:
"For the surviving prisoners, however, there
is but one plea for delay or ntermission beyond
the time required to rig up hanging post or
tie a rope. That delay will only be justified 10y
the probability of obtaining full and complete
information concerning the age, origin, extent,
object and resources of the fendish con
splRcy."
The Cleveland Herald goes even further and
asserts:
"There is no apology, that should avail any
thing, legally, against the vengeance of the
law"
ret Smith and Cassius NJ Clay as well as John
Brown. Itsays
"Gsrrct Smith, man of immense wealth,
who has perhaps contributed more abundantly
of his means to cary out his projects relative
to the negro race, than any other AbOlitlontst,
seems to be involved Smith, though a fanatic
on this question, has always been regarded as
hu Tane man, even DENYING, as he has done
recently, the validity of certain Scripture in
functions, because they recognize ''the inhuman
institution of Slavery but if he has been at
all instrumental IN instigating this affair, de-
serves to be g,bbetcd. BY private source, we
learn that Cassius NJ. Clay has been mentioned
in the same connectios. Should these suspi
cious prove well founded, we would favor a
Tequisltion upon the Governors of their resprc
tive States, for the apprehension and delivery
into custody of the parties. We trust that
Gov. Wise will prosecute this matter to the ut
most"
The Cleveland Head rushes fully up to the
Virginian's black and bloody standard. With
out reservation it responds
I'VE hope Bcown and all his accomplices, if
he had any outside Harper's Ferry, may be
prosecuted and punished to the full extent OF
the law, for we cannot imagine a more terrible
crime than the attempt to overthrow a govern
mont through the bloody path of a seryie in
surrection"
We submit that should Gov. Wise in prose
cutting "this matter to the utmost" deciIe to
humiliato the Free Sltes by demanding q
"Jacz Ketch from among Northern Dough
faces, if further finger board will be necessary

The sword of Gideon!

No marvel any longer that Old ossawatto-
mie single handed struck terror into the craven
souls of the entire Virginia chivalry, for accord
ing to the Richmond Wings report of the
speech of Gov Wise, Capt. Brown had not only
clpturcd Lewis Washington, but the sword o.
swords! The Wing says;
The Governor then proceeded TO speak oI
captain Brown" awar1ing to him credit foI
bravery, fortitude, and humanity to his prison
ers. He dwelt, with an appropriate anti.climax
on the fact that Brown had armed himself witt
q sword which Frederick the Great had sent tC
Gen. George Washington The sword belong
ed to Mr. Lewis Washington, one Of Browns
prisoners

A Slaughtered Innocent!

Mr.. Faran, editor Of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
having found his Postmaster head in the bloody
basket few mornings since, thus innocently
soliloquises:
What slecial service or act Of friendship
the present incumbent as performed in behalf
Of the President Of the United States, that he
should receive this fattering notice ut his hands,
or what act OF disfayoT his successor has per
petTated, It IS not easy 10 divine, but as under
the present Administration, rewards are said to
be somewhat at an inverse ratio to the rvices
rendered. the present act is not perhaps much
cut Of character.

The Merriam referred to in the memoranda is
supposed to be aman who stopped at the Wager
House on Saturday last, bringing heavy trlnk,
which was taken off in wsgou by one OF
Browns sons and ncgiO man. Before leaving
the hotel he registered his name "F G.. Merri-
au, Massachusetts" and took dinner. He then
procured paper and wrote large number OF let
tors, taking peculiar pains to prevent any one
from seeing what he had written. 1t is sup
posed that he took some part in the doings Of
Sunday night, and escaped in company with
Cook and his party
A large bundle Of letters, addressed to Chas
P. Tidd, one Of the dead insurgents, WAS found
in trunk at the house Of Capt Cooks mother
in law. Several were from Tidde mother, liv.
ing at Springdale, Iowa, written in the Quaker
style, and breathing the most tender and afEec.
tionate spirit tov ard her son. Many Of the let.
ters are in feminnine hand, express a deeply
religious tone, and all approve and encourage
the enterprise in which he engaged as a holy
cause.
