Gin the name of freedom, in the
name Of christianity, we enter our
protest against the murder of John
Brown x x He had not
fair and impartial trial. The ju-
ry were made up of his bitterest en-
emies, who thirsted for his blood,
and who had sworn to hang him
before they took their seats in the
jury box" = * * * x
"He was not tried by his peers.
The very men who captured, tried
and executed him, were more gull
ty of treason, wrong and crime,
than he, and wero tenfold filter
subjects for the gallows than he
They were his interiors in every
respect" * * "Bnt poor
Brown is dead, and our sympathies
can not warm his brave heart into
life again. * * x All
classes unite in expression of deep
est sorrow for the fate Of the brave

Der 8, 1859, (six days after Browns
eXecution.).
"We denounce the lawless inva-
sion by armed forces ofany State or
Territory no matter under what
pretext, as among the gravest of
crimes" "-4th Section Of the Rcpub-

John Brown. We repudiated him.
John Brown was no republican,
They talk of him, that mad man,
driven on by madness, and deluded
by superstitious notions, that he

was commissioned by the Almigh-
tv. x 4: X X X
John Brown was one who did not
believe there was any law for slav-
cry. But this is not the doctrine
of the republican party"-Sam
Craigheads Speech
"John Brown believed there was
no law for slavery. A majority of
the republican party believe the
same thing and if Mr.. Craighead is
curious on that point, let him en-
quire at West Elkton, Winchester
and other points throughout the
county"-A true republican in Ea-
ton."
| Wonder where our friends ot
the Register stand now on the John
Brown raid. We believe they sup.
port the Chicago Platform, and
perhaps they may be induced tc
vote for Mr.. Craighead. But tc
think that the republican platform
charges our neighbor with
sympathising with man guilty o:
"the gravest of crimes =" and wor'
thy of natlonaldenunciation, is toe
much. But to cap the climax, W.

New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1860-01-13

| The harmonious Democracy continued their
| quarrel yesterday ia the Senate on the Slavery
question. Mr.. Pugh went on with the speech he
tad begun on Wednesday; and after he had con-
cluded, Dir. Douglas delivered some observations,
in which he aimed to adjust the terms of his nomi-
nation at Charleston. There are number Of pre-
hninaries to settle before that little event is con-
summated, and We do not blame Mr.. Douglas for
beginning in season. To secure Democratic po-
hlcalAarv in the present condition OF things,
requires ON immense deal of very skil!ful cutiya-
tion and most industrious and careful devotion to
every stage of the crop.
A considerable number Of Southern gentlemen
participated in the general debate. The Republi-
cans were contented with holding the position Of
patient acknowledging doubtless, that it was no
part Of their business to interfere in family quarrels
Mr.. Davis of Mississippi, Mr. Clay of Alabama,
Mr.. Pugb and Mr.. Douglas, were each warm and
bitter, and exhibited much virulence Of feeling.
The promise of harmony at Charleston does not
improve as the day of the Convention approaches.
There is evidently determined purpose on one side
and the other to have war to the knife.
In the House. Mr.. Horace +. Clark was crowd
ed into very tight place by Mr. HaOkiu, and lost
bis temper, for which he afterward apologi1ed.
Great confusion followed, and when it was known
that Mr.. Haskin had sccidenty dropped pistol
from bis bosom, something very like panic ensued.
The body seemed to feel it had disgraced ITSELF and
nobody appeared, to combat the opinion. SO long
az the various factions continue to resist the adOp
ton Of the plurality rule so long we may anticipate
a recurrence of these peculiar scenes. An extraor
binary feature of the scene of disorder was the
surprise which the Southern Democracy professed
to feel at the sight of pistol when 1T Is perfectly
well urderstoOd that the largest half of those
gentlemen themselves 90 constantly armed. The
circumstances Of the case were fully explained by
Mr.. HaskiD, and exonerate him from all intention
of making use of the weapon in the House, or any
use of it except in selfdefense.
