The Harper,s Ferry Investigation.

WASHINGTON, June l5.-'The majority re-
port covers one hundred and fifty pages eNclu-
sive of the voluminous testimony. A full his
tory is given of the Brown movement, 1t
states that the rifles intended for use in Kansas
were voluntarily placed by the Massachusetts
Kansas committee in the hands OF Brown, with
vague instructions as to their use, but twOuld
appear for the purpose Of melting civil war i'll
some of the slavehodng states. The expedi-
ton would have been arrested had the Massa-
chusetts committee taken ordinary care to as
certain whether Brown was truthful in his
professions. The testimony shows that Brown
travelled through New England collecting
means with the knowledge of Howe, Stearns,
and others, and that he had possession of
arms. The committee do not suggest any
legislation, but refer to the eighth section Of
the first article of the constitution, which can
be constructed to meet like occurrences. The
committee find no guarantee elsewhere ex-
cept by state legislation against such invasions
Signed by Messrs. Mason, Davis, and Fitch.
The minority report was brief. There was
no evidence that other citizens were engaged
than those with Brown, or were accessory by
,.contribution or otherwise, although the testi.
mopv tends to show that money had been
given by abolitionists to aid the escape OF
slaves. Yet no evidence shows their compile
ity with the conspiracy, nor with the consplra-
cy to rescue Brown after his arrest. Ihey
say the raid was but the result of outrages in
Kansas which had for their aim the introduce
ton of slavery into that territory. They find
no fact calling for congressional nterven.

listing in &C is intimated in the majority re-

to promugate such IDEAS considering such
conclusions unfounded in fact, and beyond the
province OF the committee. Signed by Col

following in the wake of the editor of the
Press---not leader, but his political au-
tomaton. This no-party Press declares
hostility to any candidate on the local
tickets that are friendly to the adminstra
ton of President Buchanan, or its leaders,
or its organs. Under this anathema, where
would you stand, unless he has given you
absolution Do you suppose that the De-
mocracy of Pennsylvania are to be drag
ooned by any such course If you do,
you are mistaken this time. But you think
differently, and so do those who are acting
with you in this scheme Of disorganization.
Ifyou and your colleagues to the National
Convention had pursued the same concila-
tory course as at Reading, the same result
would have taken place. You know that
the friends of Mr.. Wittee and Mr.. Fry were
at dagger points. The Office went in search
of the man, and by acclamation Henry D.
Foster, the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, is to be compelled to take sides with
one or the other of the two political Presi.
dental parties or factions in this State (;

But if Gen. Foster is half the man l be-
lievo him to be, he will treat that letter
and all others Of like import, with silent
contempt, and the true Democracy of the
State, and every true friend of the Union
will sustain him. Now, sir, l am opposed
to having two Democratic electoral tickets
in the field at the same time; and those
who aid in so doing, disguise it as they
may, intend to give. the electoral vote of
the State to Lincoln and Hamlin, and de-
feat, if they can, the election of General
Foster. But SO far as Centre county is
concerned, l am satisfied that her united
Democracy will sustain the action Of the
State Committee, support the electoral
ticket put in nomination at Reading, and

better counsels will prevail. How proud
ly you could return Mr.. Sibleys letter and
join the gallant forces of our Democratic
Commonwealth.
There is no room for middle course.
If you wish well to our cause, you will
not act with that fragment OF q party who
under the pretext of purity.and good faith
carried their treachery TO the utmost reach
of the enemy's camp, and desocrated tho
name of Democracy by voting in the ranks
OF those who have constantly opposed it,.
In Berks county ,foI several years past,a
fusion of factions, under Che ieadE of the
present Clerk of the Republican House
OF Representatives, has accomplished the
gloomy picture of an invasi on of this cita.
del of Democracy, and for the nonce sue.
ceedcd in leveling it to the earth. To this
achievement, all done in the boasted name
OF the regular Democracy, we owe the
Republican organization of the House of
Representatives. More than once single
vote might have saved us the disgrace we
now witness in their detection and our dis.
comfture. l find, too, that every move
ment which is made in this State by those
who are sensitively regular and critically
punctllous, is prescribed and heralded
forth by the Editor of the Press, the man.
ifcst object of whose editorial labors is not
to elect Mr.. Douglas, but to defeat him so
utterly that he shall be powerless hereafter
forever. From such chcanery and decep.
ton Berks county has resolved to rid her
self. 1t is not to such sources she looks
either for Democratic principles or Demo-
cratic usages. She is this day as ready to
manifest her attachment and devotion to
the principles as inculcated by Jefferson
and practced by a Jackson, as in the
palmiest period Of her success, and her
abiding intelligence cannot be convinced
how any party can be made strong by d.
vision. She holds in adherence all who
have caused such results, and for my sim
gle self, l will not be linked with any of
them. The conclusion with which l close
is briefly to say, that for all these reasons
l shall, if elected, cast my vote as Elector
at Large, without equivocation, compro-
mise or change according to the action
of the State Committee. If that Commit
tee should deem it proper to suggest any
other service for the general good it would
be equally proper either to acquicsce or
resign at once. There is, in my opinion,
no condition more degrading than to mis-
represent those who have confided to you
= public trust, and which no private con-
sideration should ever impair.
Very respectfully, your fellow citizen,
GEORGE NJ. KEIM.

union of these States, founded upon the
virtue and in the sense of justice of our
forefathers, who sealed and sanctifed it
by their sufferings and blood Feeling,
therefore, that, under the circumstances
the action of the Democratsc State Com
mittee was wise and patriotic, and that If
any wrong is committed by the Democratic
party, that efficient and ample remedies
may be found within its organization,
cannot now concur in any action which
repudiates the legitimate obligations in
cumbent upon Democrats, of " submission
to the will of the majority" or which
shall sustain or create causes of conflict in
matters SO vitality affecting our harmony
as State organization. 1t may be sub
ject worthy of consideration whether, if
the Democracy of Pennsylvania are called
upon to 90 outside of their State organiza.
ton, and dissever their State allegiance,
any strength would be obtained for Doug
las and johnson, and if there even would
whether it would not be buying it at too
large pricev
Those who carefully and candidly re-
view the history of the Conventions at
Charleston and Baltimore, cannot fail to
be convinced that "all the wrong is not up
on one side"
The iil-tilned assertion proclaimed, Eve
will stay here at Charleston] until the
yellow fever comes," provoked similarly
Incorporate reply, and crimination and
retort exasperated the one side and the
other to an extent heretofore unknown,
and which, l hope, may never find an ex.
emplar.
The concluding resolution Of the Read i
ing Convention referred to in yours, was
made most effectual by the resolution of
the Committee, which sought, in an unex
pecte emergency, to adapt the spirit Of
the resolution to the actual circumstances
of the country, and combine and harmo.
nise by ktn dly forbear ,nce and judicial
counsel. The great body of the party seek
only the ascendancy of correct principles
and do not sympathize with the causes
which are fruitful of discord, and there
fore they generally accept and approve the
spirit and purpose of their Committee in
adopting the resolution.
Trusting that I shall have the pleasure
of meeting you again soon, and that all
will concur in aiding to procure new
triumph of Democratic principles and mer
and that the union and equality of the
States may be preserved and continue to
bless our age, nation and the world,
I am yours, respectfully,

COMMITTEE FOR PENNsYLvANIA;"- ;"-Su;
l received your circular postmarked lsth
inst, addressed "to the National Democra-
cy Of Pennsylvania" issued by you as the
solitary member of the so-styled National
Committee for Pennsylvania, in favor of
Douglas and johnson, requesting all "Na-
tional Democrats of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania to meet in Harrisburg on the
26th Of this month, in delegate aud mass
convention" &C., to nominate straightout
electoral ticket pledged to the support of
Douglas and johnson, if | understand
you; and protesting against the action of
the State Executive COMMITTEE, which met
at Philadelphia on tho I'd inst, who have
recommended that the Democracy of Penn
sylvana shou unite upon fair, just and
equitable principles against the common
foe of the Democratic party, by supporting
the Electoral ticket nominated by the De.
mocratic State Convention which met at
Reading, and of which you were member.
That you have plcnary power, invested by
the resolution OF the Convention over which
hlr. Tod presided, of the friends of Mr.
Douglas, 1 admit; and certainly it was a
compliment to Pennsylvania to find one

you should have noticed the most import.
ant resolution passed by the Convention,
with regard to who should be declared the
Presidential nominee, and which was in
full force at the adjourned Convention
which met at the city of Baltimore. On
the lst day of May, 1860, and the eighth
day session of the Convention at Charles
ton, find, in the published proceedings,
that Mr.. Howard of Tennessee, offered two
resolutions the second resolution declaring
it the duty of the President of the Conven-
ton, Oh a full vote for President and Vice
President by the delegates, "not 10 declare

point of order, declaring that the rule was
that "two.thirds Of The rotes gsven should

replied and said, "a case in point had
arisen in ls44, when the New York dele
CATION we're excluded from the Convention.
The decision then was that it required two

The Patriotic Son Of Patri otic
Sires-John G. Breckenridge.

We extract the following from an elabo-
rate editorial in the Newburyport Herald,
an Opposition journal, on the character of
the distinguished patriot and statesman
who has been selected as the Democratic
nominee for the Presidency. 1t speaks
for itself:
But at the same time that
we sincerely hope to see the defeat of Mr..
Breckinridge, whoever of the others may
be chosen, it is not from dislike of the man
personally or any unworthiness that attach
es to him as a citizen. The seceders have
given candidate personally unexceptiona-
Bile, one of whom Kentucky is as proud =,
and has reason to be, as in former times
she was proud of Henry Clay, and one
who is worthy of nation boast Of all
the young men in America, there is scarce.
ly one, apart from his politics, of greater
promise. We do not recognizs in this
country the claims of families we neither
reward son for the virtues of his father,
nor punish father for the vices of his son.
Sill there is a certain reflection of lights
and shadows from the one to the other that
we cannot forget; and, as we expect good
fruit from good tree, We are at the out
set, and before trial favorably inclined to
one whose ancestors and blood connections
have been eminent for integrity, stability,
intelligence, craftsmanship and patriotism.
There is true philosophy in this that We
will not stop now to consider but it is in
favor of Mr.. Breckenridge that he is from
one of the best families in the country,
known in our history from the early days
of Virginia, and always distinguished by
striking and commendable traits of char
acter.
The Breckinridges of Virginia we're ac-
tive participants in our revolutionary strug-
gle; they were the associates and friends
of Washington in the var of independence;
and they stood afterwards by the side of
Jefferson in giving that civil character to
the old Commonwealth and founding insti-
tutions of learning that have made Virgin
ia great ever since the Revolution. They
were eminent at the bar, eloquent in the
pulpit, learned in the schools, brave in the
army, industrious in busines, and of the
highest personal integrity. If we ever had
a family in the nation in whose honor and
ractitude the public might confde, it is in
the Brcckinridges, As they moved west
ward with the settling tide, they carried
their characteristics with them, and hence
wealth, influence, and public esteem have
been handed down from father to son.
John Breckinripge, of Kentucky grand
father of the candidate for the Presidency
was a distinguished jurist, who, as United
States Senator,i in SO2, introduced reforms
into our judiciary system that have given
system to our courts ever since. He was
Attorney, General of the United States under
Jefferson. The sons of John Breckenridge
wore like him, Rev. John Breckinridgs
