DR.. s. G. HOWE.

This gentleman, whose reputation for benevo-
lence and philanthropy is not confined to Boston
or Massachusetts, was, in Cooks confession, i'm
plicated in the Harper's Ferry affair.
The DR.. in a letter recently published, disavows
all knowledge Of Cook, or the Harper's Ferry
movement until after the blow bad been struck.
He pays a deserved and heartfelt tribute to Osa-
wotomie Brown, and plainly intimates that such
complicity as lie attribute ed to him in Cooks con-
fession, will, in time, be regarded as an bonor.-
Considering Massachusetts, an unsafe place at
present for any man to live who is suspected OF
manhood, he has sought refuge upon Victoria's
soil. In concluding his letter, he says, II am
told by high legal authority that Massachusetts is
so trammeled by the bonds Vt the Union that, as
matters now stand, she cannot, or dare not, pro-
teet her citizens from such forcible extradition;
and that each one must protect himself as he best
may. Upon that hint | shall act; preferring to
forego anything rather than the right to free
speech"

indeliably impressed upon the heart of every hui
man being who treads Massachusetts, soil. Let
the people of the Bay State cease to talk about Per
sonul Liberty Bills for the protection of fugitive
slaves, until they have first Great ted a public senti-
ment which shall make it safe for such a man as
DR.. Howe to remain in his own domicile.
If the Haryer's Ferry Instruction did nothing
more, is has accomplished much good in showing
the utter inability of the South to defend herself,
in demonstrating the constitutional obligation of
the North to take the side Of the oppressor in a
conflict between the slaves and their masters, and
in proving beyond a pera1oenture that the co.
called free states cannot protect the rights of their
own citizens go long as they remain . portion Of

The sooner the better; and not the better for

From a Correspondent of the New York Tribune.
~ THE YOUNG MAN COPPOCK.
SALEM, ONO, Nov.

q E5$tVtlE SALEM, OHIO, Nov. /. 1859.
Everybody is anxious to learn all possible par
ticulars relative to the participants in the Har-
per's Ferry affair, and l am willing to contribute
my mite of information.
i The young man Edwin Coppic Improperly
printed Coppis) is a native of this place. where
he resided until son,e seven years ago, when he
went to Iowa. He was left an orphan at an early
age, md was provided with a home in the family
If a benevolent Quaker, a friend Of the Coppic
family, who were also Quakers. lie remained at
THE place some two or three years, exhibiting dur
ing that time such evidence of a depraved and
vicious nature that his benefactor did not feel it
his duty to befriend him further, and turned him
loose. After q few years more spent in different
places, he ct last went to Iowa, where he remain
ed until the commencement of the troubles in
Kansas, when he emigrated 20 that territory, re-
turning again to Iowa after peace was restored.
One who knew him in Iowa after be had attained
to manhood informs me that he enjoyed the repu-
tasion of a reckless, daredevil fellow, possessing
much more physical courage and for.itude than
principle. After the cessation of troubles in
Kansas, he was engaged with Brown in running
of slaves from Missouri. Some few months since
he passed through this place on his way East, as
be said, and spent several days here with his for
mer acquaintance. 1t is probable that he was
then on his way to join Brown. l..
When we read the foregoing, We were not very
favorably impressed with the character Of a writ
err, who, under such circumstances as are now
thrown around Coppock, would choose anony-
mously to defame the reputation of a condemned
prisoner. Even if all he said we're true, no
christian would select such a time to proclaim II.
Charity is said to cover a multitude Of sins and
we are sure that such a deed for freedom as that
done at Harper's Ferry. ought to atone for a null
titude of faults. But it seems that according to
the testimony of the benevolent Quaker" above
referred to, the fist half Of LIS communication is
a tissue of falseboods, aud the presumption is, that
the other half is Of the same color. The Tribune
article was copied into the Pittsburg Despatch,
where the writer of the following letter saw it,
and thercupon sent his communication as append
&c to the Republican Of this place.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION. WHO WILL
HEARKEN TO II

From q letter before us we copy the following
extract. The counsel is not only wise, but emf
ntntly practical, and practicable.
IL very much approve of the recommendation
of the Elk. Com. of the Western Society, to
commemorate, by an,i-slavery observances the day
of John Browns execution. Ii | could gather an
audience and geta speaker, II meeting might be
held in this ueighborhuud, but there are 80 few OF
the right stripe around here, that an effort to get
up such a demonstration would hardly pay. Pre-
running there are many who are similarly si'ua-
ted to myself, | want to suggest a manner OF o.
serving the day, in which every subscriber to yuur
paper can and it seems to me, ought to unite"
'Tbe Disunion movement is the only phase OF
anti-slavery that iares to vindicate the strike at
uarper's Ferry, And believing that to he q
righteous cause las must every well informed
abolitionist) l wish to suggest through your col
umns to. every subscriber to the Bugle, that on
the End Of December, he or she obtain at least
one additional subscriber, If they have no ac-
quaintance or neighbour whom they can induce to
pay $3.50, let them put their hands in their oOn
pockets, and direct a copy OF the paper to be cent
to some one who will be benefited by it"
IF we had done our duty before, and tried to
diffuse q knowledge Of true anti-slavery in commu-
nity, John Brown would not now be in a Virgin
ia prison, or his two SONS covered with Virginia
clods. Subscribers to the Bugle, will you not give
a practical response to my suggestion

Will open on the twenty-third Of December, eight
cen hundred and ffty-uine, in the Town Hall OF
Salem. under the auspices OF more favor and in
terest than any FAIR hitherto held in this communi
ty.
The object f this gathering lie already well un-
derstood. aud we need only add that each succeed
ing year with its increased guilt Of slaveholding,
and its sorroefu full sacrament OF agony and death
Increases our obligation TO the slave, and should
give a new impulse to indefatigable and ~unfalter-

While the Slave in the S,uthiwrithes and groans
in his letters unheeded by all, and the demand is,
more chains for the ~captives of a foreign shore
while the free north is %blushing with shame and
dismay at the insult and outrage Of a pro-slavery
Government, our course is plainly forward and
revolutionary. Light, love, and labor only, will
secure the unconditional emancipation Of the
slave.
The results of the Fair are, without exception;
appropriated to the dissemination of faithful,
radical Anti-Slavery sentiments.
We have already a large assortment of rare

According to the Richmond Enquirer, the PEG.
pie of Virginia, 50 far from being in the least dis
posed to extend a pardon to John Brown and his
confederates, are beginning to Inquire why they
were not shot, like dogs, at the moment Of their
capture 7" The answer to that question is no,
very difficult. AS it happened, Brown and his
men were not captured Ivy the Virginia forces
which had been assembled at ~IIarper's Ferry.
Those military gentlemen modestly declined that
operation in favor of the United States ma,ines
sent from Washing ton. The marines have not Jet
come up to the point of shooting prisoners in cold
blood, or even in hot blood, after all resistance is
over. II the Virginians wished TO have Brown
and his companions shot like dogs-dispa,ched on
the spot, without trial and without mercy they
should not have waited for the marines to make
the capture. Nor do the reasons urged by the
Inquirer in favor Of such summary proceedings
seem quite conclusive. Suppose Brown was q vii,
famous pirate and assassin, it does not follow that
he was therefore entitled to no trial at law, that
be ought TO have been hung at once, without the
Intervention Of j Judge or Jury. However resolved
the good people OF Virginia may be to have the
lives Of their prisoners, they ought at least be con-
tent to take them in a decent and orderly manner.
1t was enough that Thompson was dispatched az
ter the method favored by the Enquirer. Tha,
journal, however, speaks under considerable OK
citement, occasioned by the fact that papers call,
ing themselves conservative, and protesting u
special interest for the slave holding interests,
should have been anon. the first AID most urgent
in Recommending Browns pardon. l; looks upon
this recommendation on the part OF those journ'
ais as a mean and cowardly trucking 10 the abo'
litiun sentiment, in tact, as falling little short Of
an Indirect Endorsement aud approval y! his pro
ceedings. N, Y, Tribune.
