Is Old Brown"

The last number Of the Cedar Demo.
Graf contained an editorial charging up
on some Of the people of this county,
completely in aiding sold Brown" in his
"hcllish work. as that pure aud exceed
ingly chaste sheet very clas.ically ex-
pressed II. And says that "the recent
i" esents at Harper's Ferry, conclus;vely
<sshow that the charge was well founded"
It is unfortunately true that one or
Hwo persons fra this county, were en-
gagged in the affair, aud no one can re-
Rrct that such was the case, more than
ourselves; but that "tnere are persous
Tin this county, WHO have long known
of this reasonable attack, and have
aided with their means to carry it out,
We do not believe. There IS no evidence
that any one in this county, excepting
those who were with Brown, knew any
ching at all Of the course he Intended to
pursue. Even Ed. Coppec, one of the
prisoners, states that Brown did not re-
veal tho whole plot to him until he ar
rived at Chambers burgh, Pa. And we
do not think that there were any persons
in the county at the timc Of the conflict,
who understood that Brown was to act
the part he did, or that he was setting
on foot a "cruSado against the govern
anent,' as charged in the Deaocrat --
That that paper should charge upon the
Republican party the responsibility 0,
this affair, we do not think strange
Indeed, i, is in perfect keeping with the
policy of that sheet which has not hest
tated to stismasize the Republicans as
''aboiitionists, and called tho men who
were opposed to the extension Of slave
~, "woolly heads and "nigger wor-
shippers In this it is merely follow
Ing in the wake of ADLER journals whose
bowls it is only echoing. Such epithets
seem to be the material of which the ed
itorals Of some papers are composed, and
without soale such thag rs the Harper's
Ferry event, their stock in trade must
soon be exhausted The Republicans
are NO more responsible for Brown and
his actions, than the Democrats Of the
North, are for the numerous acts Of
mobocracy committed in the South upon
men who dare let their opinions on the
"pecultor iusittutioa,' be known.
That Brown was " assisted and aided
BY citizens of this county, in his designs
upon Harper's Ferry, no rational man
who knows the facts, will, for a moment,
believe. We regard il as Islander upon
the Republicans Of the county, than
whom no more pesceable and law abiding
men are to b. found But thus it is
with Democracy. No assertions are too
strong; no calumnies too vile no abuse
too vulgar; no invectiros too severe for
them to resort to, ii they imagine they
will in any way insure them even a tenn
porary advantage. The party has 50
long fed upon the spells of Office that its
bloased body has become swollen with
arrogance aud uublusbing efFrontery.

will not say, nor whether the D.mocra.

this we do know that the Democrat can

that we defended Brown" The charge
is false, and is worthy of place beside
other stories of similar character from
the same source. We had hoped that
now that election is over, the Democrat
would pay some respect to truth, but
we are disappointed. viii it ever lear Il

One Of the Atlanta's men had been guilty Of some

The cannon shot which plunged into the brain Of Charles
