Gov. Wise has letters from intelligent
and responsible parties at the the North
and West, assuring him Of the organiza-
ton of parties for the rescue ofthe Harper

itary has restored confidence and camness
to the public mind. The military are pre-
pairing an encampment. The Governor
will return to Richmond tomorrow We

1t is rumored that Gov. Wise has re-
ceivcd dispatch from Gov. Chase. of
Ohio, informing him that large body of
men. numbering from 600 to 1000. arc
arming for rescue under John Brown.
Jr., and will undoubtedly start for Charles
town. Gov. Wise is said to have replied
that if he Chase allowed them to cross
the line. he would enter proceedings against
him on charge of treason. ~
The above has probably not the least
foundation in truth. Et
\ dispatch vas also received on Satur-
day from U. S. Marshal Johnson, Of Ohio,
stating that from 600to 1000 men were
fitting ont for rescue, in that State, under
John Brown, Jr., commander.

The s.IrrepressibIe Conflict ,,


The Lockport Journal says: Looking
among some old papers recently. we ac-
cidentially came across the following from
the Richmond Enquirer of 1856. showing
that Senator Seward, il his famous so-
chester speech, was over three years behind
the Enquirer: "
1.-TWO opposite and conflicting forms Of
society cannot among civilized men, CO.
exist and endure. The one must give way
and cease to exist-the other become uni
versal. .'
If free society be unnatural. immoral
and nnchristian, it mast fall and give way
to slave society," social system old as
the world, universal as man."
As this was uttered by asonthcrn demo
cratic organ, OF course it is critic lox, but
in the mouth Of Senator Seward it is trea-
son. ~

WAsHISGToS, Nov. 20.-Nothing can
as yet be positively ascerained concerning
the precise object of sending large bodies
of troops to the Rio Grande, further than
the protection of that frontier from the at
tacks of the forces of Cortenas, to utterly
destroy which is the purpose of the Adj
ministration. As it was but recently snp-
posed supposed in official quarters that the
two companies from Fort Clark and the
one from Baton Rouge would be sufficient
to check the movements of-that brigand,
the augmentation Of the troops just ord r.
ed has naturally excited suspicious of 9TH
er contemplated measures.
Various speculations are INDUCED in,
but the most plausible theory, founded on
certain resolutions deemed to be reliable.
is that Spain, France and England metli-
tate prompt action for the satisfaction of
claims in which their subjects arc inter-
estcd, and which may involve the national
existence of Mexico, or the substitution OF
a monarchy under the protection of these
powers. in view OF these circumstances and
probabilities, the United States may feel
constrained to occupy the northern part OF
Mexico to secure the satifaction of the
clims of our own citizens again that conn
try, as well as for the security of Amcri-
cans on the frontier.
From all that can be ascertaincd, it is
fair to presume that some of the vessels OF
the Home Squadron will proceed to Vera
Cruz aud other ports of Mexico. Indeed,
this seems to be certain, so interested are
the reported purposes of France, EnSl and

Our readers willremember that the Bal
timore Potriot gave, what it claimed to be
an authentic version of a deep laid plot in
which Gov. Willard was the moving
spirit, Cook the emissary. Brown and his
followers the deluded tools, and Harper's
Ferry the result-with a view to political
capital. As witness to the truth Of its
assertions the Patriot, desired the public
to ,rotch Cooks trial.
The trials arc now over. and we have
seen that all the parties implicated in the
Harper's Ferry affair who have been tried
at Charlestown, have been found guilty OF
treason sS well as of murler and insurrec-
ton, except Cook. the brother in-law OF
Gov. Willard of Indiana. In his case the
Jury returned verdict of murder and in
surrection only, on both of which counts
he had plead guilty. The history of the
emute duplicates Cook quite as fully as II
does Brown, and more fully than it does
the negroes Copeland and Green. II
Brown was guilty of treason against tho
State of Virginia, so also was Cook; and
il the verdict in the case of the former, is
in accordance with the law and testimony
that in the case Of the latter is not. Either
Brown has been unjustly and Illegally con.
demncl for treason. or Cook has been
unjustly and illegally acquitted on that
count.
Why this exception in the case of Cook
the man against whom we arc told public
sentiment in Virginia has been moro vic.
lent. from the beginning than it has beer
against either of his associates? 1t is tc
he explained only upon the hypothesis
stated by the Patriot. viz. that Cook wa.
mere instrument in the hands of Demo
cratic leaders to lure old Brown and his as
sociates into the crazy scheme in whicl
they embarked. for the purpose Of inAucn-
