orator of the republican party. That it is thoiu

peaceful and prosperous into all the horrors of a
civil war, to array section against sectiou, Slate j
against -Cate, brother against brother, until every (
scutiment'which appeals to the patriotism of tbo j
citizen, every thought which inspires attachment
to our iTrttWntfdn#, and every hope that Insures
the observance ts lUW, shall bo crushed beneath
the ifon heel of an irrepressible conflict.
The president th"n introduced tho lion. John
(Joehrane. of New York; who spoke as follows :
ETKCCn OF JOHN t Os nil A NX.
Eel/901 Citizen* f llmollyn ti Kiwj County—
Yon have board of the “irrepressible conflict.—-
Jt wa* born of tho bruin of Win. 11. Seward. The
jm.-c iieUement wu* deliberate. Its growth has
been prodigious. And iu its unnatural strength
y„ u nm 1 meat it, and fellow democrats you must
meet it U'w. It has been pronouucod by this
celebrated republican loa-ler that the country is
engaged in ait irrepressible conflict, au. irrepres
sible i-anilict of th# free States against the slave
states. If this bo so, and an irfoprcssiblo truth,
it is requisite aud ueewssary that vou should
know it, an l to meet the emergency should stand
here to night with arms in your hands opposed
to your fellow citizens at the South. We have
always iueisted that wo are tho < qua! citiicns of a
common laud, that when foreigners are received
into our midst, and naturalized as our laws pro
vide, they are in common with ourselves, and all
native to tho land, adopted iuto one common
family, with equal rights and a common fran- ,
But this leader of the opposite hosts has .
fulminated th® doctrintof an “liYepwsible con- (
flict” among our fellow citizens; the doctrine that
*hcy who hare hitherto lived m ptnw snd har
mony shall ho arrayed iu hostility Ife each otbor;
that th# free Httttcs of tbo North are and must ho
oppo-cd In arms to the slave States of the .South,
and that there is an enduring and Irrepressible
conflict now raging between them, and that there
ran be no ctmocssiou of hostilities until all the i
state* shall have become free or all the States
shall have become slave.
If this doctrine is to be sustained, I would ask
of you *lxUd you not all to night be engaged in
arming tkemselvei for an assault upon their broth
er* of the South, and yoqr purpose would bo to
liberate the slave-,and drench with bloodshed and
dtstreee with rapine our Heath era borders. Can
yoa deprive them of the property which is theirs
by the sonolt'tu of tho constitution und of com
mon right? You must say that such a doctrine
,11 old l># unworthy of you. But should, on tho
oth*r hand, it bo admitted to ho true and be urged
n* ob.f otory, I submit that your duty would be
to march southward to plant your bayonpt in tho
bosom - the occupants of Southern soil. Such
would be tho effect of so monstrous a doctrine.—
I* this a theory of mine, or is it supported by
facts ? Lt me direct your attetßjon to what bas
been transpiring duriug the last few days at Har
per's Ferry, in Virginia. There indeed you have
seen the fell working of whal ha# been ueuomin-

nied ‘‘the irrepressible conflict.” 1m It true, !,•
you think, that inturectiou was occasioned l>> the
principles enunciated by Win. H. Seward!’ Wli.k
, I can be a inuru natural oonei|miM'y from mi *d
quatc oauso than that dreadful and uttri eious et
sci t’ If 1 should hero declare that. nil. r i,;\ i<
* left this stand, I would march to the other ibdooi
j the river this evening, anil would outer >rty li ie ,
and neighbor's house, uml sack it, and des'r i
and murder iu loiuutes. and apply to itthef < n i
and if iu tho morning papers you should loan:

or any jury of twelve men in all the mud. And
so when you hoard tbo proclamation at Knehoticr
of the great captain of of this irrepri ssiblc con
j diet (already dovoloped iu itisurr > in.) that it
| must go on ; that it must go on until tho whole
j country shall become eithe r wholly free, and when
you see that upon the he. 1 of that announcement
—insurrection, bloodshed—a whole village plmvd

of the country would pronounce all those \ , i t

I anucuaced by tho very votruviue of this u. -
I ailed atrocity. Now, fellow citizen*, although
I our republican friends disclaim the m l. tin v up
■ prove (lie treason : alUiuturh they den-um c the
traitor, they approve the treason.’ Tli.-y pro, hiim
I that Ossiwatomi# Brown is no ‘friend <>l tlieirs- i
j ho belongs not to their communion—but yet, one
I of their principal organs in the city of New Veil.
■ upon tho arrival of the news that Ossawatom ,
•Brown had perpetrated tho outrage, v.rtinik
: proposed its justification, when swkingit.se eii>.-
! iu til# charge, that tho deinocrutu’ party had per
j petrated similar outrages io Kiuim.and that (hi
j was but their natural requital. (OriMins for firei
j ley.) But the plea of insanity is iuterpi.'cd.
: Brown was sane in Kansas—shrieking sane

no, fellow democrats ; what was speech at Koch
! ostcr was insurrection at liarper'o !• rrv. Wh u
! was Sewnrd iu New York, eulminat. and. in \ i -in
ia, into OssHwatuuiie Brown. Mr.i-ochranedwelt
• t length upon this subject, aud showing how iin
portaut to the rebuke of the rampant’ piti; ~|
treason it was. that the democracy of N. w York
should, at the coming election, doflounoe its a, :
lie portrayed the effect that the the
party would exert upon the fortunes ot Seward
and how iu either event New York State would I",
tho battle field where was to bo fought the l'tv-i
detitial contest of 1860. After hav iug . vPorted
tho masses to harmonious action, ho took hi t seat
having ocoupied the attention of the vn and throng
during the space of an hour, .Mr. Cochnu cw*
nl lHere< j l,y the attentive ami enthii i
astie crowd.
Th# Hon. F. B. Spinola was next introduced
j to the audience, and delivered anaddro’ - ol - mu*
length, hut which in point of illustration and
I substance, did not materially differ from the <dn
quent allocution of the Hon. Mr. Cochran-'. Vr
SpinoU reviewed the progress of the Pern. , rat
| ic party and the difficulties with which tin > h?ivo
| had to Contend, showing bow tbo black nputdi
cans had handed themselves together to prevent
tho progress of tho enlightened principles of tv
democratic platform. A distinguished general
j ono* said, iu tho heat of battle, “(Jive them a lit
, Ho moro grape, Captain Bragg !’’ llis advice on
j (his occasion uiuountod in suh.-tn.nce to the ;>min’
i ho wDuld say, “Give the HepuhlionuH a

tle they Ind beenalways lighting wh* and always
would bea victorious one. They had never turn
od thoir backs upon their duty, and no democrat i
would ever think of doing so, (Cheers.) Mr.
] Spiuolu then went on to cousidortbo manifold eb
jentinn, to republican prlneiptrs Tuntion m
one of the most serious complaint* that could
possibly bo presented to public view, and it was
the constant effort of the democratic party toren j
dor this branch of the public service ns light u> it
could possibly be. The republican creed was op
posed to nil progress, and he could show that
there was no dependence to he placed upon the
iMUub&r* o£Uds ,irA*tf4Awtk<*PvJte-4.i iim..in
government I/f tlie republic. Tho republican ]
party had refused to make any proy-ion for the I
public dept *r tbo •.** .....in. N’., !
native citizen, nor even tny naturliz.-d pu-zon,’
..M justify such conduct, lie spoke cf the po
sition of a'failing merchant, who goes from bunk
to bank socking for loans while hi Imrine - i*
! going to destruction. No ono would trust such
] a man. Kvery one having accounts against him
would sock to press his bills. And no If wh* with
tho republican party. They could not utuml upon
their merit', been use they had none to rest upon.
(Choer*,) Mr Spinftla continued, at length, to
press his objuotion* to the absurduit* of republi
can principles, using considerably eloquence and
tact iu his remarks, whilo ho commented in a
strain of severe depreciation on the recent event#
in tho floffth. Tho republican party, ho said,
have got their fire* ready to be lighted iu token
of victory—
A Voice—We will quench them for you.
(Loud laughter.)
Mr. Spinola—Hu 1 I have no fear of them, for
I have always manfully done my duty, and uut
still prepared to do so.
A Voice—We all know that.
Mr. Splnolacontinued to maintain the princi
ple.* which ho has always supported, snowing
how the Democratic party was always in the fore
most rank whenever tho interests of the people
was under consideration. Ho concluded an ex
cellent speech by apologizing for his inability to
do juirioe to thesuiijeet because of
The neat speaker, an adopted citizen of

The trial trip is regarded ns a success by those
whoso talents conceived so vast a scheme and

There is an absence Gs harmony of strength in tho

Our LrglNlatuire.
This body convened at Miilodgovitloon yester
day. Tho first business of course, is tho clootiou
of officers aud organization by both branches,
which wus probably effected on tho same day.—
To-day the votes for Governor will be oounted
out, the messago of tho last Governor received,
aud the uow one inaugurated. Tho annual ses
sion of tbo Henatus, Acadomicus will tuku place
this aftornoon. Then will follow in regular or
der, the election of Judge of tho >Supremo Court
and Unitod States Senator. A weightier respon
sibility never rested upon a Legislature in the
matter of tilling those offices. We trust that the
present incumbents of hoth positions will bo ro
olooted by handsome majorities. Such a ‘result
is duo Judge Ueuning, who has been pursued with
a pertinacious and unreasoning malevolence al
most without a parallel. Those who have taken
the trouble to scan the motives of such a * have
particularly officious iu the work of detrao
tlon, have, doubtless, discovered self-interest to
bo tho mainspring of (hair zeal. Wo can very
well understsnd tho feeling which dictates the
oourso of tho Chronicle <C* Sentinel, and other
opposition presses. The Democracy will howaru
how they giv# ear to such counsel.
Os Judge Iverson, nothing remains to bo said
by un. Wo have advocated his re election ear
nestly nd often, because we believe the princi
ples of which he is tho zealous and ablo advocate
and representative, to he the principles which
should form the basis of Southern union and ac
tion. Recent ovents have but established us iu
this conviction.
llis detent, even though be be succecdod by ono
utsound and able as himself, would bo hailod by
our enemies as an indication that all ourprofes-* 1
sions about the maiutouanue of Soul hem Rights
and honor, woro idle boasting. If the people of
Georgia aro uuregardlul of this result, or if such
is to be the farcical finale of their solemn de
clarations, it is, perhaps, proper, that Judge
Iverson be suporsoeded ; but if they are sincere
in their profession of faith, let them so declare,
l*y electing to the highest office within their gift,
the man who is its living embodiment.
Beulah.
This neautmu door commoes to eumt tt*n
warmest praise from the first circles. Perhaps,
no novel, appearing within the last half dozen
years in this country, hus been so generally read
or culled forth such universal commendation.—
Scarcely a paper we pick up but contains a cri
tique of tho work more or less elaborate and ap
probatory. The Boston Courier, a good literary
authority, has tho following iu regard to it:
“In many roßpccts “Beulah” is a remarkable
book. It is a narrative of a young girl's strug
gle with society and with herself. Beulah, left
iu un orphan asylum at an early age, goes thence
into service, is adopted by a physician, leaves hid
protection by reason of her proud determination
t“ support herself, and for several years tills the
place of a teacher. An inquirer, a thinker, a
student, she goes through a bitter mental expori
cneo ->i doubts, fours, dark despair, finally lind
ing light in a return to her early faith. Before
this happens, however, she has gained what we
• all tame by her writings, and at lust tin.ls herself
through her own oxertions. in tho position she
had determined to attain.
The most interesting feature oftliis work is the
picture it presents of the torturing doubts which
visitthe minds of thousands—doubts with which
they wrestle silently and alone It is evident that
the mental experience of Beulah is only the men
tal experience of tho author ol the story, uml the
course of _ the imrratrvo roveula tho struggle
the vain seareh after peace, and this book id fnc
result. The simple desire for library fame was
apparently uo incentive to tho young author. She
plainly has an earnest desire to assist others
through tbo forest when! she hopelessly wandered.
Some oftbe characters iu tho novel arc drawn
with great power; the genera? manner of the /
hook is slightly stiff, and .shows that the author
comes fresh to her new vocation. \Vu have not
space fur further uoticu, but all will do well to
road the story.
Letter from Hon. L VallanUlglmm.
Tho Cincinnati Enquirer of the 2d iust, pub
lishes an interesting letter from llou. C. L. Val
luudtghum.Representative to Congress from Ohio
iu reflation to the Harper'* Ferry insurrection
aud correcting iu some respects the telegraphic
reports of the conversations had by himself and
others with Brown after his surrender. Mr. Val
laudighum says:
Tussiug, of necessity, through Harper’s Ferry,
on Wednesday last,on my way huiuelroiu Wash
ington city, I laid over at that place between
morning aud evening train* for the We*t.Tbrough
the politeness of Col. Leo, tho commanding offi
cer, 1 was allowed to enter the armory enclosure.
Inspectittg the several objects of interest there,
and among them the office building, I came to
the room where Drown and Stephens lay, aud
went iu, not aware that Senator Mason or any
reporter was present till 1 entered, and without
auy purpose of asking a single question of the
prisoners, and had there been no prisiouers there
I should have visited and inspected the place,
just, us I did iu ail these particular*.
No “interview” was asked for by uie or any
one else of Jobu Brown, und none grunted, wheth
er “voluntary and out of pure good will,” or oth
erwise. Brown had no voice iu the matter, the
room being open equally to ail who were permit
ted to enter the Armory enclosure. All went and
came alike, without consulting Brown; n>r did
he either know myself or tho other gentlemen
with whom he conversed. Filtering the room, 1
found Senator Mason, of Virgiuiu, there, casu
ally, together with eight or tou others, and Mr.
Brown conytrsingTreely with all who chose to
uddres* him. indeed, he seemed eager to tulk
to every one; and new visitors were coming und
going every moment. There wu* no urrange
uiout to have auy reporter; nor did I observe for
several miuutis after i entered that auy were pre
sent. Someone from New York was taking
sketches oi Brown und (Stephens during the con
versation, and the reporter of the Herald made
himself known to me u short time afterward, but
crul hours later, und then at the hotel in the vil
lage.
Finding Brown anxious to talk and ready to
answer any one who chose to usk him a ques
tion, aud bat ing heard thut the insurrection hud
been planned at the Ohio Htate Fair, held at
Zanesville, in September, I very naturally made
the inquiry of him, among other things, u* to the
truth of the statement. Learning front his uus
wer that, lie hud lived in Ohio fur fifty years, and
hud visited the Stute iu Muy or June last, I prose
cuted my inquiries to ascertain what oouuection
hi* conspiracy might have had with the “Oherlin
Rescue” trials theu pending, and the insurrec
tionary movement at that time made in the
Western Reserve to organize forcible resistance
to the execution of tho Fugitive Hluve law ; and
1 have now only to regret that 1 did not pursue
the to attar further, asking more questions, und
in kiug them more specific. It is possible that
■mo others who are so tenderly sensitive in re
gur I to what was developed, might have boon
qonliy implicated. Indeed, it is incredible thut
a mere casual conversation, such us the one held
by uo with John Brown, should excite such par
oxysm# of rage and call forth so much vulgar
but impotent vituperation, unless there be much
more yet undisclosed. Certain it is thut three of
the negroes, and they from Oherlin, und ut least
six of the white men, niue iu all out of the nine
teen, including John Brown, the leader of the in
surrection, wore, or hud been, from Ohio, where
they had received sympathy aud uuuusel, if not
material aid, in their conspiracy.
But, the visit and interrogation woro both casu
al, and did not continue over twenty minute* at
tiie longest. Brown, so fur from being exhaust
ed, volunteered several speeches to the reporter,
and more than onoo insisted that tho conversa
tion did not disturb or annoy him in the least.—
The report in tho New York Horald of Ootobor2l,
is generally very accurate, though several of the
question# attributed to me, and particularly tho
first four, ought to have been put into the mouth
of “Bystander,” who, by tho way, represents at
least half a score of different persons.
“As to tho charge preferred of breach of good
taste and propriety,” aud all that, I propose to
PEYTONH. COLQUITT, )
JAMES W. WABREN, (Editor*.
Number 45
judge of it for myself, having boon present ou the
occasion. There was neither ‘interview,’ ‘cate
chising,’ ‘inquisition,’ ‘pumping,’ nor any effort of
the kind, but a short and casual conversation
with the louder of a bold and murderous insur
rection, a man of singular intelligence, in Dill
possession of all his faculties, aud anxious to ex
plain his plans aud motivos so far as was possible
without implicating his confederates otherwise
than by declining to answer. The dovelopementa
are important. Lot tbo galled jades wince.
And now allow mo to add, that it is vain to un
derrate either the man or his conspiracy. Capt.
John Brown is as bravo and resolute a man as
ever beaded n insurrection, and, in a good cause,
and with a sufficient force, would havo been a
consummate partisan commander, lie has cool
ness, daring, persistency, the stoic faith and pa
tieneo, and a firmness of will and purpose uncon
querable. lie is tall, wiry, muscular, but with
little flesh, with a cold, gray oyo, gray hair,
beard aud moustache, compressed lips and sharp
aquiline nuso; of cast iron luce and frame, and
with powers of endurance equal to uny thing
needed to bo done or suffered in any cause.
Though engaged in a wicked, road and fanati
cal enterprise; he is the lurthercst possible remove
from the ordiuury ruffian, fanatic or madman;
hut his powers are rather executory than inven
tive, and lie never lmd the depth or breadth of
miiul to originate and contrive himself the plau
“t insurrection which he undertook to carry out.
The couspiruey was, unquestionably, fur more ex
tended thau yet appears, uoinbcriug among tho
conspirators mnuy moro than the hundful of fol
lowers wlio assailed Harper's Ferry, and having
in the North aud West, if not also the South, as
its counsellors aud abetters, men of intelligence,
position and wealth. Certainly it wus one among
the best planned and executed conspiraeiea that
• vur failed.
For two years ho had been plotting and pre
paring it with aiders and comforted! u thousand
miles apart, in the slave Slates aud the free ; for
six mouths he liv ed without so much as a suspi
cion in a slave Stale, aud uoar tho scene of the
insurrection, winning even the esteem aud confi
dence of liis neighbors, yet collecting day by day
large quantities of arms, and making ready for
the outbreak, lie hud us complete au equipment,
oven to intrenching tools, as any commander in
a regular campaign, and intended, like Napole
on. to make war support war. He had Sharpe’s
rifles aud Maynard's revolvers for marksmen,
and pikes for the .-laves. In the dead hour of
night, crossing the Potomac, ho aiozed tho Armo
ry with tnmy thousand stund of arms and other
munitions of war, and making prisoners of mor#
than thirty of tho workmen, officers and citizens,
overawed the town of Harper's Ferry with its
thousand inhabitants. With lesss than half a
somtc of men surviving, he hold the Armory for
many hours, refusing, though out off from all
succor and surrounded upon ull sides, to vurren
.,i wm> uk*a* **iih uwivrri iu hatuLOSCTrmw
rod by superior numbers yet fighting to the last.
During tins short insurrection ci hteen wen were
killed aud ten or mure severely wounded—twice
the number killed and wounded on the part of
tho American Force at the battle of New Orleans.
John Brown failed tu excite a general aud most
wicked, bloody and desolating servile and civil
war only because the slaves and uon-staveholding
white men of the vicinity—the former twenty
thousand in number—would nut rise. He had
prepared urms aud uuiunition fur 1,500 men, and
captured at tho first blow enough to arm more
than fifty thousand; and yet he had loss than
thirty men—more, nevertheless, than have begun
half the revolutions and eons piracies which histo
ry records. But he hud not tampered with slaves,
n-.r solicited the non slaveholding whites around
him, because ho really believed that the moment
the blow was struck they would gather to his
standard, and expecting, furthered re, the prom
ised reinforcements instantly from the North and
West. This was Hie basis upon which the whol#
conspiracy wus planned ; and hud bis belief been
well founded, he would unquestionably have suc
ceeded in stiring up a most forinable insurrection,
possibly involving the peace of the whole coun
try, and requiring, certainly, great armies and
vast treasure to suppress it.
Hero was his folly Hiid madness. He believed
and acted upon the faith which for twenty years
lots been So persistently taught in every form
thvtHighoul the free States, and which i* but an
other mode of statement of the doctrine of the
:TflTP* n ■
ready and eager to rise again? t the “oligarchy,”
needing only a leader and deliverer. The conspi
racy was the natural and necessary consequence*
of tho doctrines proclaimed every day. year
in ami year out, by the apostle* of abolition.—
! But Brown was sincere, earnest, practical : ho
proposed to add works to bin faith, reckless of
murder, treason and every other crime. This was
his madness and folly, lie perishes justly and
miserably—an insurgent and a felon ; but guil
tier than he, aud with his blood upon their heads,
are the false und cowardly prophets aud teachers
of abolition.

--but before deciding the case ho looked them
up for three days iu the sumo room, with one
