Poor ola Rrovn.

The meanest act Of the times is the manner
of JOHN BRowN's treatment by his confeder-
ates, who, having urged him into his troubles,
and having their hands stained with his blood,
now desert him in the hour of his calamity,
and not only wash their hands of having had
any completely with him but denounce him as
a 1madman!' If his madness had been sue.
cessfui in desolating the South and subverting
the government, who can doubt that the Re
publican leaders in the North would have stolen
out from their secure homes and claimed the
lions share of the "9lory" Of JOHN BRewN's
achievements? Bnt the brave Lieutenant of
these cowardly traitors has ANONYMOUSLY failed
-ond now, ''poor old boss, let him die" His
leaders have no further use for him-have not
a tear of sympathy for his misfortunes-and
GIDD1NGs, CHASE, & Co. affirm that their only
knowledge of Brown was a little innocent
Hospitality they extended him!

wayne county.

The gallant Democracy of old Wayne made
a noble and successful fight at the late cleo
tion-redeeming their county against all the
low craft and effort wAich Brown Republican
ism could bring to bear against them, and
electing their whole ticket by a majority of
about three hundred. The defeat which the
Democracy of. Wayne sustained last year, re-
minded them that ORGANIZATION and
LABOR are the price ef liberty. The De-
mocraey of Ashland county iearaed a lesson in
the same school at the late election, which will
be of lasting profit to them. Referring to the
result in the two counties, our friend MAE
says:
No doubt Blake and his satellites made great
efforts in Ashland county, but we can assure
neighbor Knapp that Wayne county was thor
oughly canvassed, and as many mean things
said and dirty tricks resofted TO as was possible
for their ingenuity to invent. Not only false
hoods of the basest character were put in cir
culation against all our candidates, but the low,
infamous game of ~"secret circulars" was brought
in ~rcquisition 70 defeat our party, but thanks
to the ever vigilant and active Democracy,
their falsehoods and schemes were detected in
time for exposure, which was effectaally done,
and instead of benefting any of the candidates
engaged in the dirty work, or the Black Re-
publican perty generally, tho result elbows tho
reverse.

Browns Correspondence.

Marshal johnson returned home last even
ing, direct FROM Charlestown, the scene of the
trial of the Harper's Ferry insurgents. From
Washington he went to Charlestown at the re-
queet of the citizens of Virginia, whose lives
were jeoparded by the instruction of Brown,
to examine that portion OF the correspondence
found in the possession of the prisoners when
taken. That portion of the correspondence,
which 5Is: johnson examined, eliminating Ger
tain Ohioans, was to have been published in
the w: shington Constitution of Thursday morn
ing. While in Cllarlestown, Copeland, the ne
gro fugitive from OberliH, who was taken by
the insurgents, made a full confession of his
guilt, in which lie implicated several citizens of
Ohio, and particularly some of the Oberlin
s.Saints," who furnished him money to Join
Brown and his cohorts at the place ofthc con
tcmplated instruction. For obvious reasons,
this confession will not be published for some
days.
The letters we have already published will
have an additional Interest to the reader when
it is known that the John Smith who wrote
from West Andover was john Brown, Jr., son
of Ossawottamie, and that 81, Henrio" WINS
j. III, Kagi, who received his death wound at
Harpcr's Ferry while engaged in the murder of
unoffending. citizens,
When the additional letters are published,
and with them the confession of Copeland, if
there is not a shaking of dry bones and a 1eo-
ing to Canada among some of the Oberlin
Saints, and Citizens here, it will be because
they are more fool hardy than we suppose
The Gard" of Mr.. Sturtevant, published by
us on yesterday, will be found to be but a bold
denial, without much to justify it. Box 1850,
at the Cleveland Post Office, received many

Cook at Charleston-Says Fred D Dug
las is a Coward.

a Telegram to the New York papers, under
date of Friday, from Charleston, says that
''Capt. Cook arrived here at l o'clock this
morning. lie says that if Brown had taken
his advice in relation TO mounting, a thousand
men he could not have taken. There is great re-
joicing at his arrest. He says that Fred.
Douglas acted the coward, having promised to
be there in person."
Langston seemed to be the most sensible of
the whole party. He was disguised with TIE
whole proceeding, as the number of men he
thought too small.
There is a report that Fred Douglas has gone
to Canada on a visit, which may lanst for years.

rhe organ OF the rolitIoaI Preachers.

In obedience to what we regarded as a high
duty we wed the Democratic party, we gave a
note of warning to the Democracy a few weeks
since, to beware of those evolves in sleeps
clothing" wks make religion subservicnt to
their schemes of partizan and personal am
bition, and who desecrate not only the pull
pits but even the "stgnsps' of the country
In that article-writtcn and published prior
to the Harpcrs Ferry inrasion-we said:
zTTie religious sentiment of the country was
brazcnly and impiously invoked to aid a cause,
the success of which can only result in the
utter subversion of our institutions, and of all
law and order, and of plunging the country
into the untold horrors ola CIVIL WAR"
Whatever may have been the objects of these
poEtical priests, the manifest tendency Of their
teachings was TO produce the result We fore
told.
The editor Of the Ashland Tfntes-WM.
OSBORN, Esq-has assumed the championship
of the partizan priests, and comes forward in
their defence. Judging by the mode and
manner of his defence-his emphatic language
his vigorous epithets, and a logic peculiar to
himself-the reader will at once recognize him
as an appropriate champion of such a cause
We will entertain our readers with a few of
his choicest excerpts:

WORD in benalr OF Il African.

The New York Herald, a paper opposed to
the Democratic party, thus correctly defines
the movement at Harper's Ferry:
"NoT AN INsURREcTIoN.-The late affair
at Harper's Ferry was not an Instruction in
any legitimate sense of the word; but it was a
revolutionary abolition plot and invasion de-
signed to stir up a servile Instruction. Bat
as the facts stand it is unjust to the white and
the black population of Harper's Ferry to call
this outbreak an insurrection. TWAS nothing
of the kind, ia the slightest. perceptible de-
gree"
No event has ever occurred in the history of
African Slavery in this country which so well
establishes the fact of the loyalty of the slaves,
and of their preference of their present condi-
ton. After having been tempered with for
months, the affection of tho slaves for their
masters was proof against all the wilcs of JOHN
Brown and his confedcrates-and when the
hour of trial came, he found hat he had to
conquer the SLAVES as aceN as their MAsTERs.-
He discovered that neither art nor violence
could separate them or dissolve their relations.
The only black allies Brown could enlist in
his rebelious schemes, were free negroes taken
with him from the North, and who had been
drilled for years under GIDD1NGs, CHASE and
others. The result of BRowN's expedition
furnishes additional testimony that the mass of
slaves at the South are quite as averse to a
separation from their masters, as the latter are
to part with them. The tales of cruelty to
the slave-of separation of families, &C., which
have been paraded IN Abolition Journals and
books, arc exceptional cases. AS Gov. WISE
recently said, negro slavery as it generally OK
lists in Che slave States is n "ratriarchal insti-
tuition" We have often heard shareholders
make the declaration hat their servants were
pecuniarily a burden to them. and that'if they
could have assurance that the condition of
their slaves would become no worse, they would
free then, at once. IF the Abolitionifts would
give adequate bonds to take proper care of
them, they could obtain the consent of slave
holders in the South to part with thousands of
their 'human chattles-" The consent of the
masters in most cases, could be much moro
easily obtained than that of the slave.
Let justice be done the African. inferior
intellectually as providence has undoubtedly
created him. he has yet more sense and more
humanity than his pseudo-friends, the Brown
Republicans.

or,eIna,ea WITH ca. nrIfi.h

1t is pretty clearly established by confessions
and papers ofthe Harpers Ferryinsurgents, that
their head quarters was in the British domin-
ions. IF tho truth is ever fully ascertained,
it may appear that the British government
was the instigator of the whole plot. 1t will
not be the first instance in eur history that
the English government has allied itself
with factions hostile to the Democratic rarsy
Cor the purpose of accomplishing a dissolution
of the Union. The mission of HENRY to the
New England Federalists, during the wal of
1872, and tho hartford Convention which fol-
lowed, were all traced directly to the British
Governor General Of Canada, acting under or
ders from his home Government. The Abo-
rt;on-R Republican party had its birth in the
Hartford Convention, and British jealousy and
hatred of our country has nursed and comfor-
tod the bantliug from that day down to the
time Of tho Blow which was st; uek at Harper's
Rsry

Attacks ON Chas. Il. FLOOD.

"a Attacks On mas. L. EiOods -
During the last twenty-five yearssthere has
not been a eNational Republican, an aAntt
Mason,P atsWhig," a "black Republican, or a
" Brooch Republican" who has not considered
it a. duty to assal Col. FLOOD. Opposition du-
ties stand about in this order
lst. Stealing negroes;
End. Butchering SHAREHOLDERS;
Bird. Liberal abuse of FLooD.
We very much regret to see that some of our
Democratic contemporaries arc disposed to join
in this warfare against FLooD. They FIX their
teeth upon a file. One of the grave charges
preferred against him is, hat he is poor, and is
not the proprietor of the newspaper that he ed
its. In ore sense. he as poor;-in anotherhe is
rich. He is so rich in his interrupted Demo-
cratic blood that all the offices, and all the mon
cy of all the Money Kings that have had exist
encec could not induce him to compromise aDem-
ocratic principle or his own self-respect. IF
his assailants can say as much for themselves,
we shall rejoice to make a note of it. There are
men in Ohio who have toilcd for the Democrat
ic party faithfully, efficiently and consistently
we arc unable to rccur to the name of one
who has performed as much and as effective la
bor, without recompense or hope of reward.
His political ard'caftorial character require no
defence before the Ohio Democracy whom he
hrs served so long and so well, and did we &C.
cury his position, and should re turn aside
from on. higher duties to notice these personal
attacks, come from what quarter they may.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the New
Orleans True Httness, an Old School paper,
thus describes the state of things both in the
Old and New School in East Mississippi, as
follows ~
1.-The country is in n state of rapid improve
ulent. 1t is increasing in population and
wealth; and railroads are lending their inspira-
ton to the general good Thsre'prevails here
a great need>of Presbyterian ministers. There
are ten to twelve vacant churches in the East
Mississippi P~resbytery; and I found two of
these in a manner extinct, simply for tie want
of care. Ono of these the Methodists and
Cumberlands were quarreling over as q spoil.
Indeed of these two churches and the Baptists
it never can be said, Their laborers are few
They arc watching our churches with becom-
ing zeal.
"The New School, in this region, are grow
ing s'gradually small and beautifully less."-
They are rampant on tho subject of slavery.
One of their most influential ministers, a few
weeks ago, actually signed a proposition to ship
owners and mercantile marines for the intpor-
totion of one thousand ndtipe Africans INFO
Clarke county. He thus declares himself in
favor of the African slave trade, in defiance Of
all law, human and divine! But this is not
the only erraticism this crusader is guilty of.
He has turned politician. He has quit preach
ing Chr st, and is now preaching politics"
re- Here we see the inevitable result of the
action of those churches which suffer them
selves to be rent assuader on the slavery issue.
In the North they become wild in their Adolf
tionism, and in the South they.favor a revival
of the African Slave. trade. In both sections
they nurse the elements of hatred and strife,
and their only bond of sympathy exists in an
intense hostility to the Union and to the Dem
ocratic party.
