john BRowN MANIFESTATIONS The heroic forti-
tudc with which "Old John Brown"-,he JomS
Brown of future history-bore himself during the be-
rod subsequent to his and previous to his exc
cuton, and the brave composurc witt, which he met
his fate have excited feelings Of admiration and re-
spect in the bosom of every man capable of nppreci
atng such generous sentiments Even his execution
ers treated him with all the consideration due to
bravery, while they were but performing their duty in
carrying into effect the sentence of the law The err
rors of John Brown the errors Of fanatic; his
punishment was the punishment Of fe!on his death
was the death Of Il Martyr. Like John Iluss and a
long succession Of similar sufferers, lie sealed his faith
with his blood.
Throughout the community the minds Of the peo-
pie were saddencd at the event Of John Browns exc
cuton. Some Of the more enthusiastic opponents of
slavery proposed the toIng of the bells which sort of
manifestation of public sympathy was not sufficiently
extensive TO be practical The only demonstration
that was visible far rs we can learn, was made by
some of the workmen engaged in building hou. for
Mr. Buckner of New Orleans These men erected A
gallows on which was suspended the ehigy Of Gov.
Wise. When the fact came to the knowledge of Mr.
Wells, who during the absence of Mr. Buckner has
charge of his affairs, he ordered the eigv TO be taken
down or removed. But the workuen had got their
backs up and would do neither; finally, as sort of
compromise, they burned the suspended Governor
and there the matter rested. We understand that
these men performed this feat on the land belonging
to Mr. Buchner inadvertently, and merely because it
was convenient to themselves, without any sort of in
tention of insulting otherwise rejecting upon the
gentlemany proprietor of the premises.
In Hnsdale N. H., the bells were tolled about the
hour of execution, in honor of the memory OF brave
man and a persistent opponent of slavery.
But these manifestations were not all on one side
The buchanan democracy in this region held their
ubations and manifested their great gee at the exc
cution of John Brown in some places at least, in Il
manner very BETTING and appropriate to democracy.
The democrats of Jacksonville as we are credibly
informed celebrated the event pleasing and salts
factory to their feelings, by firing cannon, public
dinner, and an amount of drinking limited only by
their capacity.
1t is currently reported that the democrats of West
moreland, N H., fired salute of one hundred guns
to express their qualification of the result but VIC do
not vouch for the truth of the report.

sured through the mails, and by visits from par
ties who will be participants in the settlement
of the matter, that Wheeling will como more
prominently and more infuentially before the
National Executive Committee of the Republican
wing CT the Opposition Convention, than any
other city. Already more than one member of
the Republican Committee, to whom was left
the duty of designating the time and place, have
given in their appreciation TO holding the Con-
vention in Wheeling. We are informed that
the matter is industriously canyassed, and that
so far it takes amazingly, and strikes favOrnbly
upon the attention Of almost every one TO whom
it is proposed. Our chances now for the Con.
vention are certainly much more prominent
than those of any other city, and we hope that
any assurance that remains yet TO be given OH
the entire appropriateness and feasibility OIL
having this great Convention held among US
will not long remain wanting.

Bill MONTGOMERY is just now having an un-

the dodgers on the Treasury note vote at the
winding up of the session. A body would have
supposed that inasmuch as Bill told the Wash
ington County people with tears in his eyes,
that if they but elected him this time he would
never ask them any more, that he might have
summoned up moral courage enough TO have
voted yea or nav. But what is "6red in the
bone will not come out of the flesh''-and Bill
Montgomery will always be Bill Montgomery.
