while the one has been suffered &c

the service of sectional agitation.- -
The horrors OF servile insurrection

Yet II they should at any time re

who have been lynched for their an.

have literally murdered for the free
expression OF Their opinions, they
will find a large balance in their ia

who have fallen at Harper's Ferry
should be counted each as ten. God
knows it is q fearful and savage
thing to count life for life, but the

The Baltimore Clipper says:
"While the righteousness of the
plot excites the Indignation, the
madness Of the attempt to put it in
execution at such a point as Har-
per's Ferry astonishes every ONE
1t seems TO have been tho act OF an
irresponsible madman, aided by a
few reckless desreradoes, who were
infatuated by his strange fanatic
ism."
"The attempt TO make political
capital out Of such an event is little
short of the offence itself, and those
who have embarked 80 eagerly in
that diseraceful work, deserve equal
reprobation with tho criminal con
iederates OF Brown. So far as we
have seen, the whole Republican
press, with one accord, has denoun.
ced the act with as much emphasis as
tue press OF any other party at the
North or South. 1t is a matter OF
no division OF opinion among right
thinking men, that those who have
attempted, with super-serv ccable
zeal, to get tho star: BY raising a
partlzan cry, are utterly unworthy
OF confidence or respect. y -[Phila.

The Baltimore Sun, zealous an.
ii Republican journal. says of old
Browns conspiracy:
"The short, sharp. terrible drama,
provoked by handful OF enthusi-
as's, fanatics, adventures, or by
whatsoever term they may be dcsig
mated, was brought suddenly to a
close upon the first exhibition Of
force yesterday morning -,
A fearful retribution dealt out in the
suhjugation OF the insurgents has
left but little for the civil officers of
the law to do in vindica,ion OF this
srievous outrage against society,"
The whole affair dwindles into Mt.
ter insiguiticance as the literal facts
are brought out from the uncertain !
ty peculiar to the first demonstra
ton. And although 80 bold, sud-
den and formidable a course of &C
ton, naturally aroused suspicion Of
a widespread and pre- concerted
movement, and induced the most eff.
ficient means for its suppression, the
measures for its suppression adopt
ed have almost ludicrous dispropor.
tion to the necessity of the occ casion
and the result"
