The New York Herald says:-"lt appears
from the discovered private papers of Brown
that Gerrit Smith white many and Freder
lex Douglas (black man, both of this State
were deep in the confidence and plans OF
Brown, and that Smith, in all probability
was liberal contributor of the sinews of war
for this lIarper's Ferry enterprise. But
Smith could not have furnished all the ff,
teen or twenty thousand dollars which Brown
must have expsnded nor can we suppose
that Brown came away from his rough and
expensive campaign in Kansas. with funds
sufficient to enable him to change a quiet
country farm house in Maryland. into the
military magazine which he made of it. The
legal Investigation into this business will
probably disclose considerable list Of con-
tributors to the military chest Of Brown, and
some very extensive and astonishing ramif-
cations of his exploded programme, Of gen
eral revolutionary conspiracy.
Enough, it seems, has been ascertained to
Justify q reouisition from Governor Wise. OF
Virginia, upon Governor Morgan, of New
York, for the delivery over to the hands Of
justice, Of Gerrit Smith and Fred. Douglas,
as parties implicated in the crime Of murder,
and "a accessories before the fact. That
Governor Wise will make these acquisitions,
is highly probable; for it is evident that he
intends to probe this whole matter 10 the
very bottom; and that in doing so he will put
the good faith OF New York and other North
ern States to the test, there can be very lit
tie reason to doubt. We trust that the ex-
pertinent, should the facts warrant it, will
be tried with Coy. Morgan, and to the extent
OF not only two, but Of twenty acquisitions
should 50 many be required"
