The performance of OSsawatamie Brown

The performance of OSSawatamie Brown,
as he is called, at Harper's Ferry, Va, a de-
tailed account Of which we print this week
seems to have provoked an excitement in
the country somewhat more intense and wide
spread, than the affair in itself considered
would seem to call for or justify An old
man, with shattered iptellscts, and handful,
Of followers, twenty two white men and ne
groes, all told, all probably as crazy as their
leader, took the Arsenal at IIarper's Ferry
and held possession of it from Saturday even
ing until Tuesday morning, the entire popu-
lation of the place and surrounding country
meanwhile shaking in their boots and Gov
Wise and President Buchanan in as great
state of alarm, as they could have lon had
foreign army landed on our shores. Indeed
we hardly know which most to wou,ler at
the folly and madness of old Brown in at
tempting with an army of twenty-five men
to take the south and free the negroes. or
the extraordinary effect which the wild and
foolish attempt produced in Virginia and
throughout the country. .s..
OF course we regret it for many reasons
We regret it so far as old man Brown and
his silly dupes are concerned, as we would
The crazy perpetrators. We regret,tmrtner
on account of the excitement it will be likely
to produce, and the misconstruction which
will be put upon it by political denagogues
in both sections of the country.
One thing is clear to our apprehension,
and that is whatever set of men or party
can be convicted of aiding or abetting
this mad scheme ought to be posted off forth
with to an insane asylum. Of all things it is
the very last in which the Republican party
would engage, if for no other reason, upon
motives of policy, Any sensible man must
admit this to be a fact, and hence we are
confident that the few sensation presses who
are trying to connect the Republicans with
it will have their labor for their pairs They
will encounter one serious difficulty, and
that is, nobody will believe thom.
This man Brown was always an abolition
list of the Gerrit Smith school. He went to
Kansas, and there his son was murdered, his
dwelling and mill burned, ana his property
destroyed before his eyes by pro-slavery
blood-hounds. From that time, it has been
notorious to all who knew him, that his mind
was shattered, that he was possessed by a
monomaniacical thirst for vengeance against
the slaveociacy, the authors of his misfor-
tunes, and was prepared for any wild underta-
king which might seem to his fevered imag-
ination, likely to avcnge his wrongs. So far
as Brown himself is concerned, his turni lg
up in Virginia under these circumstances, is
not wonderful, but it is passing strange how
he could inveigle anybody else into such a
scrape

Several slaves were found in the room with
the insurrectionists, but it is believed that
they were there mwillmgly. Indeed, Browns
expectations as to slaves rushing to him was
entirely disappointed. None seem to have
come to him willingly, and in NEST cases
were forced to desert their masters. But one
instance in which slaves made public APP
pearance with arms in their hands is related.
A negro who had been sharply used by r''
of the town people, when he found thu nc
had pike in his hand, used his hrr'sutthor-
lty to arrest the citizen and have n'm taken
to the Armory. The citizens np'iSoned by
the insurrectionistS all testiGto Their lenient
treatment They were ipno way insulted,
and beyond the outraged restricting their
liberty, were not i'll Used. Capt. Brown was
always courteous pythem, and at all times

fnement, made no Abolition speech to them.
Col. Washington speaks ofhim as man ofex-
traofdinary nerve. He never blanched during

is the fact that convention, for framing

place next July. The members who will
compose che convention, are to be elect

tons which have preceded it, this is ex-
pected to be no child's play, but an ac-
