From the Boston Courier, (Old Whig.)
MIR. Stewards Secret.

Of all the outside persons implicated more
or less In the Harper's Ferry affair." Mr..
Seward seems to occupy the most awkward
and unenviable position. When he made
his Rochester speech year ago, the leading
idea OF it was SO apparently preposterous
that many judicious persons thought him
insane, just as they have thought Of cod
Brown" He declared that there existed
what he called Gan irrepressble conflict"
between the North and the South--that the
difference could neither be adjusted nor allie
waited except by making them homogeneous
in their domestic institutions--that either
New York and Boston must become slave
markets, or slavery must be driven altogether
out of the country. He led US to the infer
ence, therefore, that as neither of these
events was likely to happen by peaceful
MEANS why, consequences would follow such
as were indicated in his speech. Mr.. Sew
ard left cut of consideration the not unrea-
sonable probability that all these difficulties
would be composed by time and patience,
without fighting about them at all, except
the contest of the polls.
This speech, we say, seemed one impossi-
BILE to be made by sane man, and people
we're left to form copjectures about it as
they best might. Now, however, comes the
letter of Forbes to DR.. Howe, by which it
appears that the plan Of Brown was devel-
oped to Mr.. Seward early in the spring. If
this be true-and there seems no reason to
doubt tit affords complete key to the
Rochester speech. If MIR. Seward was then
informed of plan, more or less mature, OF
the kind which came to issue at Harper
Ferry, and then learned of its ramifcatiors
among certain classes 10 the free States
though it seems incredible that he could
have believed in its success--yet it does
afford the explanation, and the only rational
one, of his extraordinary speculations, and
of the violent measures anticipated by him
at Rochester.
If, then, the relation of Forbes is to be
relied upon, it places Mr.. Seward in the IN
pleasant predicamcnt of having heard trea-
son from the principal parties engaged in the
scheme-yet neither demonstrating with
them, nor taking steps to prevent its con.
summation, nor giving the government OF
which he is member the opportunity Of
anticipating and thwartirg it. OH the con-
trary, he has kept it in his own breast, so
far as the country is concerned, and only
used his means of knowledge to intimate
dangers and conflicts, which could never be-
if he had acted the honorable part, of first
attempting to repress such wicked design
and if he could not, of putting the govern
ment to which he owed allegiance on its
guard, by revealing whatever was necessary
to be known.

Rcverdy JOhnsOn's Argument.

The Evansville Qndiana) Enquirer makes
the following appropriate comments upon
the late mastery argument of REvERDY
JOHNSON, of Maryland. 1t says:
1--WE yesterday published Geographic sy-
noysis of a paper about to be published by
Hon. Reyerdy Johnson, of Maryland, sustain
ing Jddge Douglas view Of the Territorial
question. When we consider that Reverdy
Johnson was the attorney who conducted the
bred Scott case before the United States Su.
preme Court, and who secured the opinion of
the Court. which has become so noted, we
may well inquire what becomes of the misera.
BILE cry that Mr. Douglas doctrine contravencs
the bred Scott decision.
VINO would be expected to understand the
ruling of the Court in that celebrated case. if
the attorney in whose favor the decision was
rendered does not understand it? The truth
is, the bred Scott decision sustains Judge
Douglas, and no honest man, who has three
ounces of brains disputes the fact Mr.. John
sons address at this time, is perfect annhi-
lation TO Douglas enemies and from his con-
nection with the bred Scott case he has no su.
perior as an attorney in the United States.
His opinions Gu legal questions are regarded
at the bar as the very highest authority.
This movement OF Mr.. johnson is an import
ant one, and will do much toward settling pub
lie opinion in favor Of the positions which
Judge Douglass has assumed and defended SO
face Of power and prescription
We should think there would be nothing
more said about the bred Scott decision
being opposed to Popular Sovereignty.

GENERAL WooL.-Gen. John L. Wool
was born at Newburgh, n. Y, in 1889.
His education was limited, and for the
greater part Of his youth he was a mer-
chants clerk at Troy. He afterwards
studied law for a year, but gave up that
profession to secure a captains commission
in a regiment of infantry in the war of 1872.
He joined Gen. Van Renselaer's forces on
the Niagara frontier, and distinguished
himself; was made Major for his services
at Queenstown, and Lieutenant Colonel by
brevet for those at Plattsburg. In 1882 he
was sent to Europe to gain information on
military matters, travelling through Frauce
and Belgium and being present at Antwerp

In 1886 he superintended the removal OF the
Indians from the Cherokee country 20 the
Arkansas, and in 1888, WIS placed il COM
mand of the Maine frontier during the

Washington Gossip about the Harpcr's
Ferry Affair.

The New York Herald's Washington
correspondent, writing under date of Oct.
%, says
The Government have received information
from the United States Marshall at Charles
town, that Gerrit Smith is deeply implicated
in the Harper,s Ferry affair by recent disclos-
ures made by one of the prisoners. The dis
patch says that large number of other gentle
men in high positions in New York are also
implicated. also a number in Ohio, including
Gov. Chase.
1t is understood the officers of the Federal
Government are engaged in strict and thor
ongh investigation with a view to discover how
far certain leading Republicans, including Sena-
tors Seward, Wilson, Hale. Sumner. Messrs.
Gerrt Smith, Greeley. Glddings. and others,
are implicated in the Harper's Ferry treason.
1t is understood that the documents in the
hands of the authorities implicate several
prominent members of the Republican party
as accessories before the fact.

Ex-PREsIDENT VAN buren, WRITING A
PoLIrIcAL HIsroRY.-We learn that ex-
President Martin Van Buren, is engaged on
an important and elaborate work, which
shall embrace political history Of the
country down to the close of his administra-
ton.
Such a work. from so competent source,
will possess a great interest Aside from
the eminent ability OF the author, he has
enjoyed facilities for becoming familiar with
the political affairs of the United States
superior perhaps to any living statesman.
The only drawback upon the accuracy of a
work of this character, is the fact that it
must be prepared by one who has been a
prominent actor in the political events
which it describes, and some allowance must
be made for the difficulty which he will ex-
perIence in giving a strictly unbiased histo-
~ of those events. MIR. Van Buren, is,
however, man of even temper, capable of
rising above his prejudices, and we look for
a work from bis pen of rare interest and
value.
1t is hoped that the ex President will be
spared to complete this undertaking, begun
in the evening of lie, aAd amid the retire
ment which is so favorable to its accom-
plishment. With his systematic and tenn
perate mode of life, there is reason to be-
lieve such may be the case.--JOmnal Of
| Commerce.

From the Evening POST
THE DEAD LOVE.
BY MARY C.. AMES.

Lies the dead love in my breast?
In its grave laid it down,
1t is dead, SO let it rest,
Void of Faiths ennobling crown.
Once it gave life richer zesS.
More than any joy beside,
Yet bury it. ills best.
Shall tell you why it died?
Would 'twere better to pretend
Dead: tits sacrificed as it seemed;
Bnt it's thus-the idol friend
Was less noble than | dreamed.
Love whose love all self transcends,
Love in loving, strong as death,
CanuOt bide treacherOus friend
Dies beside its murdered faith.
So we wake some saddened morn,
And, in silence. put aside
One for whom we once seemed born,
One, for whom we could have died.
In some morrow, further on,
We shall meet, and will say /:
Thou my being leaned upon,
Nothing art 10 me to day."
1t is fate to grow apart
From the love we lopged for most (;
Der its grave the stricken heart
Walls the idol it has lost.
Toward the undiscovered land,
Calm go to reach my rest,
With my life-task in my hand,
With my dead love in my breast.
Loved one lying in the dust.
bewept you with no pain;
Sweet, we parted with the trust
In Gods morn to meet again.
All, a fiercer woe is born
When we know our faith has fled,
Dawns no resurrection morn,
On the love which lieth dead.
Gods fair world is just as fair
Sky, and sea, and circling coast
Glory of the earth and air,
Do you miss what have lost?
No rare form l lay away,
Cherished more than all beside
IT'S q love, it died to-day;
lave told you why it died.

PArAs CoNsENT.-An anecdote relative
to the late Professor Wilson, of Edinburgh,
who is known as distinguished scholar, is
now circulating. When the sutton for the
hand Of Professor Wilson's daughter had
gained the lady's appreciation, he was, of
course, referred to papa. Having stated
his-prObably-not unexpected-case, the
young gentleman was directed to desire the
lady to come to her father. Professor
Wilson had before him, for review, some
work, on the fy-leaf OF which was duly
inscribed, With the authors compli-
ments." He tore this out, pinned it to his
daughters dress, solemnly led her to the
young lover, and went back to his work.

In SEARCH OF PASTORAL COngrega-
tionalist pastor, in Connecticut, says that
"wben pulpit was vacant nowadays. the
church generally appoint acommittee to go
and make inquiry OF some theological pro-
fessor, or of some other eminent divine, fer a
suitable candidate. The first question
about him usually was, Is he popular
man? The second, Is he a good speaker?
Third, Is he social and easy in his man
ners? Fourth is he man of decided
talents? Fifth can he live on a small
salary? Aud then as the committee was
about taking leave, with hat in hand, and
one foot over the door sill, it is some times
added-he's man Of piety, we suppose"

ted by the military court before which he is
to be tried.

THE Tribune figures out the result of the
election in New York as follows : The five
State officers on the American and Repub-
lican ticket are certainly elected. This in.
cludes Comptroller, Attorney General, State
Treasurer, Judge and Clerk of the Court OF
Appeals. The other four officers on the
State ticket remain in doubt, but the Re-
publicans are probably elected.

I Were aoy proof Of the vast progress in pOlitiea
Importance made BY the kingdom Of sardisia dur.

says the New York Eosaiag Post, 10 theft that her
ministerial changes are now looked upon in this
country with interest only second to that Of
corresponding political changes in England As
the most liberal government ia Southern Europe
this is perhaps but natural; yet at the present
jdncture the affairs of Sardinia assume an unusual
importance, and tae resignation Of Count CA7oUR.
Of which We are Informed by the late news, is an
event OF more than ordinary significance. Identif-
ed With the grand idea Of Italian nationality, and
bent upon making the kingdem of Sardinia the
leader in the establishment of constitutional mon
arcby in the peninsula, Count CAyoUR has occupied
position in the recent diplomatic and military
struggle only second to that hell by LOUIS NAPo.
LEON, while to the public of Italy only that Emre
ror, the king VICTOR EMANUEL and GARIBAIDI
we're objects of greater interest. The resignation
of Count CAvOUR proves his disappoin.m n. at the
terms OF peace, and his consequent disirust OF the
man whom he welcomed from Frsree as The liberia
tor Of Italy. He had taken SO prominent posiiOn
IN the liberal cause that in mere selfrespect, even
II uuinfuenced by patriotic motives and honest in
dgsatiOn at the betrayal of his hopes and of what
ne considered the honor and safety of Italy, he had
no other course than to resign the Premiership of
the Sandman government
His successor, Count ARISE, is a young man, as
yet comparatively unkno the dir lomaiic world
His persOnal relations with the French Emperor sre
supposed to have aided his elevation to the position
lately occupied by Count CAvoUR, for he had, pre-
ViOusy to the war, been sent by the Sandman king
to the Tuileries, aud his father was personal friend
Of the first NAPoLE1N He is described as {.
young man of passabls talents and conciliatory
manners; " medOcrity and suavity are, however,
net exactly the qualities needed at tn present mo-
ment By the Prime Minister Of Sardinia
This appointment of Count AREsR Wss made by
FIorOR EMASUEL personally On the breaking cut !
Of the war the Sandman Chambers invested THAR
king with almost absolute powers as Dictator Prob
ably, had the Chambers been in session, Count CA |
YOUR would not have resigned, or his place would \
have been filled By some one with more diplomatic \
experience than the present occupant. His rela-
tons with NAPOLEON would seem to indicate that
the french political influence was already making
itself felt in the Sandman administration.

Ague Cure,

ron THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague, Re-
mitteHt Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Head
ache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed for the
whole class Of diseases originating in bill
larry arrangement, caused By the Malaria
of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the ne
eessltics of the American people than sure and
safe cure for Fever and Aguc Such we are
now enabled to offer. with perfect certainty
that it viii eradicate the disease, and with as
surance, founded proof, that no harm can
arise from its uSa in any quantity,
1hat which projects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the coulmu-
mites where it prevails. PfereRton is better than
cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he
must run IN violent attacks Of this baleiul dis
temper. his . CURE cxpels the miasmatic
poison Of FEVER AND AGUE from the system and
prevents the development of the disease, if taken
on the first approach Of its premontory symptoms.
1t Is not only the best remedy yet discovered
for this class of complaints but also the cheapest
The large quantity supply for dollar brings it
within the reach Of every body and in bilious
districts, where FEVER AND AGUE prevails every
body should have it and it freely both for cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price Will place it
within the reach of all = the poor as wen as the
rich. A great superiority Of this remedy over any
OlAer ever discovered Tor the SPEEDY ana certain
cure Of lntermittents is, that it contains Cunne
or mineral consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left Us healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague IS not alone the consequence of
the miasnatie poison. \ great variety Of disorders
arse from its irritation, among which are Neural
gia, rheumatism. Govt Headache. Blindness,
TOothaehe, Earache. Catarrh Asthma, Palpitation,
Painful Affection Of the Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in
the Bowels, Collie. Paralysis. and Derangement of
the Stomach, all of which, when originating IN
this cause, put the intermittent type, or become
periodical. This ''CURB expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all alike.
1t IS an Invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling temporarily residing in the
malarious districts. If taken occasionally or daily
while exposed to the infection, that will be excre-
ted from the system, and cannot accumulate in
sufficient quantity to rpen into disease. Hence it
is even more valuable for protection than cure and
few will ever suffer from Intermittents, if they
avail themselves Of the protection this remedy
affords.
