The JOHN Brown INvEsrIGATIoS.-Horace
White. of the Chicago Press 4 Tribune, for
merly assistant secretary of the National
Kansas Committee appeared before the Sen
ate Harper's Ferry Committee to-day. The
only thing in Mr.. White S testimony precise
ly in point, was that he knew nothing about
it. At the instance Of Senator Mason, wit
ness went into a detailed statement Of ths0r-
ganization of the National Kansas Commits
in 1856.
The executive board of the committee con-
sisted of three members residing
in Chicago, Messrs. j. D. Webster, h.
B.. Hurd and George Whole, who transact
ed the business with the authority OF the
full organization. The aggregate sums Oh
money received and disbursed by that oody
in 1856 and three months of 1857 was aoout
$40 600, of which no less than SIO,VVV
went for the purchase Of rms Ineir ueai-
ings with Brown amountel TO an aPproP'da
ton of $50 in Dash, twelve boxes oil elotu-
ing, and twenty-five r~evOlvers tor his dement,,
of which the last mentioned never re9cnel
him. All this transpired in the year 1000

Pending the discussion of his petition,
which was warmly opposed by members Of

The SEQUEL.

| will not linger the sequel. The
popular sovereignty of Kansas proved to lie
the State sovereignty of Missouri, not only
in the persons of the rulers, but even in the
letter Of an arbitrary and cruel code. The
perfect freedom proved to be a hateful and in
tolerable bondage. From 1855 to 1860.
Kansas, sustained and encouraged only by
the Republican party, has been engaged in
successive and ever-varying struggles, which
have taxed ali her virtue wisdom, !. modera-
ton, energies, and resources, and often even
her physical strength and martial courage,
to save herself from being betrayed into the
Union as Il slave State. Nebraska, though
choosing freedom, is, through the direct ex-
ercise of the Executive power, overriding her
own will. held as a slave Territory and
New Mexico has relapsed voluntarily into
the practice of slavery, from which she had
redeemed herself while she yet remained a
part of the Mexican Republic. Meantime,
the Democratic party, advancing from the
ground OF popular sovereignty as far as that
ground is from the ordinance of 1887, now
stands on the position that both territorial
governments and Congress are incompetent
to legislate against slavery in the Territories,
while they are not only competent, but are
obliged. when it is necessary, to legislate for
it's protection there.
How THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MASKS ITSELF.
In this new and extreme position the Dem
ocratic party now masks itself behind the
battery of the Supreme Court, as if il were
possibly a true construction of the Constltu-
tuition, that the power Of deciding practically
forever between freedom and slavery in a nor
ton of the continent far exceeding all that Is
yet organized, should be renounced bv Con-
gress, which alone possesses anv Legislative
authority, and should be assumed and exer.
cised by a Court which can only take cogni-
zance of the great question collaterally, In a
private action between individuals, and which
action the Constitution will. not suffer the
court to entertain, if it involves twenty dol
lars OF money. witht ut the overruling inter-
vention of a jury of twelve good and lawful
men of the neighborhood where the LITIGATION
arises. The independent, ever-renewed, and
ever-recurrlng representative Parliament.
Diet, Congress, or Legislature, is the one
chief paramount, essential, indispensable in
stitution in a Republic. Even liberty,
guararti tied ny organic law, yet if it be held
by other tenure than the guardian care of
such a representative popular assembly, is
but precariously maintained, while slavery.
enforced by an irresponsible Judicial tribunal,
Is the completest possible development of
despotism.

Hitherto the Republican party has been
content with one self-interrogatory-how
many votes it can cast? These threats en-
force another-has it determination enough
to cast them? This latter question touch
es its spirit and its pride. l am quite sure
however, that as it has hitherto practiced
self-denial in so many other forms, it will in
this emergency lay aside all Impotence of
temper. together with all ambition, and will
consider these extraordinary declamations
s%-riously and with a just moderation. 1t
would be a waste of words to demonstrate
that they are unconstitutional, and equal
ly idle to show that the responsibility for dis
union attempted or effected, must rest not
with those who in the exercise of c|onstitu
tional authority maintain the government,
but with those who unconstitutionally en-
gage in the mad work of subverting it.
What are the excuses for these menaces ?
They resolve themselves into this, that the
Republican party in the North is hostile to
the South. But it already is proved to be a
majority in the North it is therefore prac-
tically the people of the North. Will it not
still be the same North that has foreborne
with you so long and conceded to you SO
much? Can you Justly assume hat an affec-
ton which has been so complying. can all at
once change to hatred intense and lnexora-
BILE?

The bail-storm of Tuesday evening seems to
have been quite severe in the ueighboriiood Of
Worthington. In passing over the railroad to
Columbus on Wednesday, we noticed the corn
fields near that point showed the effects of
rough usage-the blades being cut into shreds.
The pumpkin vines, &C., also appeared in an
equally dilapidated condition.

CouLoS'r AGREE.-The jury in the case of
John Keller, formerly resident of this city,
who was tried at Newark last week for horse
stealing, was unable TO agree. Keller, it is
said, teigned insanity SO well. that part of the
medical gentlemen of Newark testified that he
was actually insane. Six of the jurymen were
for sending him TO the Penitentiary, and the
balance thought that the Lunatic Asylum was
the proper place for him. John had better
try his hand again, perhaps the next time he
. will succeed in establishing his insanity. and
escape some service for the State.-&atc Jour
nal.
The accused, at the time of his arrest, was a
resident of Orange township, in. this county
We learn he has been sent here for trial and is
now confined in our jail.
