~Cnr Politics.—The Citizen, of Saturday,

others who may bo disposed to co-operate with
it, at the Council Chamber, to-morrow evening,

.The fascinating atory of the Pilgrim’s Pro
gress, a fruitful subject for the pencil, and
which has been wrought out into a scries of
beautiful pictures, by several of our most cele
brated American Artists, is nightly attracting
largo and fashionable audiences to view its ex
hibition at Concert Ilall. This was to have
been expectod, from the very high reputation
which this great Work of Art lias won, and
from the unexceptionable manner in which it
is presented by Mr. Hart, the gentlemanly Man
ager. Jt will remain until Thursday night of
this week.
Accident.—Dr. Andrews, of the Citizen, had
the misfortune to be thrown from his buggy by _ „ .
a runaway horse, last Wednesday, and to suffer terSi an d a ”time for reflection will hurt nobody,

trance, threat and entreaty—the most of them,
however, in billingsgate style—continue to pour
in on Gov. Wise, from tho Northern Abolition
ists, which consign him to speedy temporal and
eternal death in event Brown is hung. Brown’s
execution takes place next Friday, unless ho is
respited to meet his fate with the rest of the
conspirators, on the ICth December.
It is not to lie .disguised that since the late
Northern elections have failed to show any sig
nal outburst of popular indignation over this
atrocious outrage upon Virginia, or any alirm
or apprehension in respect to the new phase of
abolition fanaticism it develops, tho prevalent
feeling among the most sober and conservative
citizens is, that the catastrophe of open disrup
tion cannot probably bo much longer averted,
and that it is best at once to adopt and proceed
upon this hypothesis. It is oskod, whether it
would not be more judicious, before tbe contro
versy takes the shape of a general border war,
and the quarrel becomes in its very nature in
curable, to initiate at once steps to a Southern
political organization, which could be retraced,
rather than leave the quarrel to progress to its
natural consummation—an irreconcilable hos
tility between the people of the two sections ! It
has been suggested that tbe Legislature of Geor
gia, now in session, might instruct and request
the Congressional delegation to advise with the
Southern Congressmen, and concur in a with
drawal at once from the next Congress, and a
meeting for consultation and advisory action at
some central point In the Southern territory.

On tho 25th, the Governor’s Levee was at
tended by an immense and pro-spicuous crowd,
as an old friend of mine used to say when he
meant mixed. This is an’institution which I
think ought to be abolished, and so must all
think who have attended these games and wit
nessed the absence of cvcty thing like decorum
and good behaviour. The last one does not dif
fer in the latter respects from many of its pre
decessors. The supper was elegant and sump
tuous; prepared under the supervision—we
understand—ol Mr. Cunningham, who has the
reputation of being an excellent caterer.
The best part of tho Levee was tho crowd of
beautiful women, God bless them. How they
sparkled and flashed—how they laughed and
looked lovingly—many a poor bachelor lost his
heart that night in the labyrinths of crinoline
and crape that abounded in the Executive Halls.
—Alas, poor Yorick!
Both Houses are actively engaged in the
public business, but industrious as they are, I
doubt whether an adjournment can be made
within the forty days, unless it be done by
quitting without acting on more than half of
the bills before them.
I have too much respect for the intelligence,
patriotism, and good faith of the present Legis
lature to suppose that they will be guilty of
such a.violation of the rights and interests of
their constituents. Let the representatives of
the people remain at their post—attend to all
the matters before them—take time for delibera
tion, do nothing in haste, act upon all the bills,
and adjourn in peace and good order. There
are now about four hundred and fifty Bills in
the House, and three hundred and ninety in
the Senate, and yet some of the members say
they must adjourn within tho forty days. ' If
this is done, over-three hundred Bills will be
tabled without due consideration.
On Wednesday, tbe 30th, the Bijl for the
pardon of Choice is the special order, and it will
pass, without a doubt; but the veto of the Gov
ernor is expected.

plishing good and bringingaboutthe most spee

inaugurate a Standing Committee, composed of
a certain number of men of standing from each
of the twenty wards of the City, and a Conven
tion has been called for its appointment It
will be the business of this Committee to mem
orialize tho Legislature, and procure as large a
number of signatures of respectable citizens
thereto as possible—setting forth a clear and
well authenticated statement of foots, as con
ncctcd with the difficulties under which we
hare labored, and suggesting such measures as
will be most likely to remedy them. They will
also collect such testimony as may be necessa
ry to a true understanding of the gross ncglcc 1
of duty on the part of the police, and all others
whose duty it was to preserve order at tho polls
at the last election, and suggest the passage of
such laws as may be necessaiy to secure us
against a similar state of things in future.
Nearly all the defeated candidates have given
notice of their intention to contest the election,

The trial of young Connery was concluded
on 1-Vidajr last—tlio Jury bringing in a verdict
of Manslaughter. Great interest was felt in the
trial, and the court room was filled to repletion
during the several days of Its continuance.—
The case was ably conducted on both sides, by
Milton Whitney, Esq.,for theStatc,and eHon.
Reverdy Johnson, Judge Mason and T. J.
Rodgers, Esq., for the prisoner. The speech
of Mr. Whitney occupied nearly two hours, and
was one' of great force and power, and such as
to elicit a high enconium from hits tinguish
ed opponent, the Hon. Reverdy Johnson. The
speeches of Judge Mason and Mr. Rogers were
brief but able. The great speech of tho occa
sion, however, was that of Mr. Johnston, which
was a master-piece of eloquence, and was the
more effective from the (act of his having vol
untcered his valuable aid on the score of hu
manity and a regard for the broken-hearted,
aged and respected parents of the unfortunate
man. Ilis appeal to the jury was almost be
yond the power of human sympathy to resist
His powerful argument and exposition of tho
law was conclusive in showing the killing to be
the act of a half-bewildered mind,laboring under
COme the inffuencc of Liquor, and the absence of all
premeditation or malice against the party slain,
which was necessary to constitute a murder in
the first or second degree; and it was upon this
conclusive exposition that the verdict of tho ju
ry was based. The verdict was the proper one
to be found, and was in accordance with the
evidence. The punishment for manslaughter
in this State is an imprisonment from two to
ten years in the .Penitentiary. The horror of
the gallows was thus spared to the now wretch
ed brother, and his stricken and aged parents,
which under a less clear definition of the Law
as applicable to the case, might have left the
jury to the chance of coming to a different con
clusion.
Two notorious Incendiaries were arrested on
last Friday night for firing the Union engine
hpuse. Their names are John Lainhart and
Duzan. They had been suspected, and
both were arrested soon after tbc .fire was dis
covered. They are both old offenders—ona
having served a term in tlio penitentiary for a
similaroffencc—the other having escaped convic.
flon by removing his trial. Tho fire was soon
extinguished, and it is hoped that these villains
will now be secured from further depredations

An adroit Swindle.—A successful and rath,
er Serious confidence 1 operation was performed
upon the Jlessrs Canfield £ Bro., of this City,
on laid Friday morning., A well apparelled

large Jewelry Store on that morning, and was

cal examination, two were selected, bagged, and

bill receipted, to await the corting of Mr. G. at
a certain hour named. In due timo ha appear
ed, and upon counting his money found that he
had not the exact amount which would cover
the bill, $365; but, however, it made no differ
ence, he would draw a check for the exact a-
mount, which would be better—which ho pro
ceeded with such an air of nonchalance to do
as to throw the confiding IJprter completely off
his guard. So soon as it was received, thePor-
Exbibition, and the following considerations
prompt us to adopt the month of December, a:
most suitable of the year. It is the most leis
ure with the masses—tlio epidemics and autum
nal diseases of the Southern it Western States,
arc by this timo stayed by cold weather—all
the crops of the country are matured and gath
ered—the 'Agricultural Fairs tliroughout the
Union, are being held earlier in the year—ours
being then last must become most attractive
with iLs varied departments, and must mako
those of other States tributary in a very great
degree.
This plan gives ample time for all interests to
bo fully represented and justice rendered to all,
by the Association, and the Foreign Depart
ment, which will be a new and attractive feature
in our Exhibitions,will have ample time to close
its sales and display its contributions. Fur
thermore, instead of crowding into tlus city ten

public spirit enlarged.” Our Exhibitions being
uponaa enlarged scale, and characterized by a
liberal and patriotic spirit, will at the beginning
secure public favor and confidence, and beaome
vastly popular, successful and attractive. Its

future commercial enterprise and industrial des

Why delay longer? Let us lay broad and

cultural Department tho leading and attractive
feature of its exhibitions, and give the great
staple production of the earth a prominence ne
ver before conceded by any Agricultural Socie
ty on this Continent; and elevate Agriculture
to the position that nature and nature's God
designed it
It is humiliating to the producer of the great
staple product of the South, to see its empire so
willfully neglected by the Agricultural Societies
of the Southern States, when the civilized world
concedes that “Cotton is King.”
It is a lamentable fact, and we mention it on
ly by illustration,ithat two prominent Agricul
tural Societies, whose Premium Lists have been
sent us, give, this great interest the coldshoul-
dgr, and tho cotton bale is not honored in their
Programmeof Exhibition. Now your Commit^
tee propose to inaugurate a new order of things,
and dedicate the “Cotton Bale” as the Idol of
Agricultural Worship. Let us send greeting
to our Brotherhood throughout the planting
States to bring to this Industrial Altar, offer
ings of their Cotton boles, both short and long
staple, their Rice tierces. Sugar hogsheads,
casks of Molasses and specimens of all tho pro
ductions of the earth.
Urge them also to biingfrom The land of the
“Vine and Fig Tree,” the golden fruits of the
Tropics, and compare with peers, the luscious
productions of the Orchard, Garden and Vine,
yard of the middle and mountain lands.
Under this Department let us arouse the lan
guishing condition of our Agriculture to action
and actuate our State government to a sense of
its vast importance, and the only policy in which
she is chargeably laggard.
THIRD WEEK.
We propose to close.the Annual Fairs of the
“Cotton Planters’ Association of the State of
Georgia,” with a grand Exhibition of Live Stock
of every class and kind. We will invite to it
the herdsmen and flock masters of the Middle
and Western States, with representatives of
their stock yards, in an honorable and laudable
contest of rivalry for the prizes offered. In
furtherance of this great Exhibition, wc suggest
to tho Association the application to the State
to occupy any lands belonging to the State, ad
joining the corporation of Macon, for holding
the Annual Fairs; and that this Association
shall bo at. liberty to erect thereon any such
buildings, fences or other structures as they
may tlfink necessaiy for carrying out the ob
jects of said Association. *
In consummating the noble aim and objects
of this organization, your Committee do ino-t
earnestly recommend tq its consideration, the
establishment of a State Agricultural Bureau,
under the patronage of the State, with an
offico and Museum for the collection, distribu
tion and international exchange of every produc
tion of tho earth useful to agriculture and its
The Richmond Despatch publishes entire
what it terms the “remarkable” speech of Mr.
Voorhies, Attorney General of Indiana, in de
fense of Cook. Says the Despatch :—
“It is one of the most eloquent speeches
ever delivered before a tribunal of Justice,
and the manner is said to have been equal to
the matter. Mr. Voorhies is described as a
tall, splendid looking man, with a magnificent
voice, over which he lias great command. It
is said that at some of the most affecting pic
tures, Judge, jury, lawyers and spectators
were all in tears.”
We give below that portion of the address
in which tbo eloquent advocate boldly traces
the responsibility for the insurrectionary at
tempt. The picture is forcible, and true :
“Buf, Gentlemen, in estimating the magni
tude of this young man’s guilt, there is one
fact which is proven in his behalf by the cur
rent history of the day which you cannot fail
to consider. Shall John E. Cook perish, and
the real criminals who for twenty years have
been taught tbc principles on which he acted,
hear no voice from this spot ? Shall no mark
bo placed on them ? Shall this occasion pass
away, and the prime felons who attacked your
soil and murdered your citizens at Harper’s
Ferry escape?- The indictment before us says
that the prisoner was seduced by the false and
malignant counsels of other traitorous per.
sons. Never was a sentence written more
just and true. ’False and malignant counsels’
have been dropping for years, as deadly and
blighting as the poison of tlio Bohun Upas
tree, from tho tongues of evil and traitorous
persons in that section of the Union to which
the prisoner belongs. They have seduced not
only his mind, but many others, honest and
misguided like him, to regard the crime at
Harper’s Ferry as no crime, your rights as un
mitigated wrongs, and the Constitution of the
country as a league with hell and a covenant
with death. On tho skirts of the leaders of
abolition fanaticism North is every drop of
blood shed in tbe conflict at Harper’s Ferry;
on their souls rests the crime of murder for
every fife there lost; and all the waters of the
ocean could not wash the stains of slaughter
from their treacherous and guilty hands. A
noted Boston abolitionist, (Wcndel Phillips.)
a few days ago, at Brooklyn, New York, in
the presence of thousands, speaking of this
tragic occurrence, says: ‘It is the natural re
sult of anti-slavery teaching. For one, I ac
cept it .1 expected it.’ I, too, accept it in
the same light, and so will the country. Those
who taught, and not those who believed and
acted, arc tbe men of crime in the sight of
God- And to guard other young men, so far
as in my power, from the fatal snare which
has been tightened around tho hopes and des
tiny of John E. Cook, and to show who are
fully responsible for his conduct, I intend to
link with this trial the names of wiser and ol-
der men than he; and if he is to be punished r to his family and to his countiy was drawn by
to bear henceforth and forever,
day and year after year has the baleful simoon
of revolution, anarchy, discord, hostility to
the South and her institutions, swept over that
section of the country in which the lot ofthe
privoner has heeif cast. I hat ho has been
poisouod by its breath, should not cut him off
from human sympathy; rather should it ren
dcr every heart element toward him. Ilcnev
er sought place or Btation. but sought merely
to develop those doctrines which evil and trait
orous persons bad caused him to believe were
true. ...
“Ministers, editors, and politicians—beeclier,
Parker, Seward, Giddings, Sumner, Hale, and a
host of lesser lights of each class—who in this
court-room, who in this vast country, who in
the wide world who shall read this trial, believes
them not guilty, as charged in the indictment
in all the courts, to a deeper and far more.fear
ful extent than John E. Cook! Midnight gloom
is not more sombre in contrast with the blazing
light of the meridian sun than is the guilt of
such men in comparison with that which over
whelms the prisoner. They pul in motion the
maelstrom which has engulfed him. They
started the torrent which hrs borne him over
the precipice. They called forth from the cav
erns the tempest which wrecked him on the
sunken reef Before God, and in the light of
Eternal truth, tho disaster at Harper’s Ferry is
their act, and not his. May the ghost of each
victim to their doctrines of disunion and abom- cur ”
inatioh sit heavy on their guilty souls! May
the fates, of the prisoner, whatever it may be,
disturb their slumbers and paralyze their arms
when they are again raised against the peace of
tho country and the lives of its citizens 1
“I know by the gleam of each eye into which
I look in this jury-box, that if these men could
change places with" yoang Cook, you would
gladly say to him ‘Go, erring and repentant
youth, our vengeance shall tall on those who
paid their money, urged on the attack, and
guided the blow.’ Let me appeal to you, gen
tlemen of the jury, in the name of Eterna uth
and everlasting, right, is nothing to be. rgi n
to youth, to inexperience, to gentle, kinu uoart,
to a wayward and peculiar though not vicious
character, strangely apt to be led by present
influences? I have shown you what those in
fluences, generally and specially, have been
over the mind of the prisoner. I have shown
you the malign influence of his direct leader.
I have shown you, also, tho ‘false and malig
nant counsels’ in behalf of this sad enterprise,
emanating from those in power, place and posi
tion. It might have been your prodigal son
borne away and seduced by such counsels, as
well as my young client Do with him as you
would have your own child dealt by under like
He has been stolen from the principle of his an
cestors and betrayed from the teachings of his
kindred. If he was your own handsome child,
repentant and confessing his wrongs to his coun
try, what would you wish a jury of strangers to
do? That do yourselves. By that rule guide
your verdict, and the poor boon of mercy will
not be cut off from him.
“He thought tbe country was about to be
convulsed; that the slave was pining for an op
portunity to rise against his master; that two-
thirds of the laboring population of the country,
North and South, would flock to the standard
of revolt; that a single day would bring ten,
fifty—yea, a hundred thousand men—to arms
in behalf of the insurrection of the slaves. This
is in evidence. Who are responsible for such
terrible false views? And what kind of a vis
ionary and. dreaming mind has so fatally enter
tained them ? That the prisoner’s mind is pli
ant to the impressions, whether for good or for
evil, by which it is surrounded, let his first in
terview in prison with Gov. Willard, in the pre
sence of your Senator, Col. Mason, bear witness.
His error was placed before him. His wrong

“The chief of these men, the leader of a
great party, a Senator of long standing, has
announced to the country that there is ahigh-
er law than the Constitution, which guaran
ties to each man the full exercise of bis own
inclination. The prisoner before you has sim
ply acted on the law of Wm. II. Seward, and
not the law of his fathers. He has followed
the Mahometof an ordinary faith. Come forth,
yc sages of abolitionism, who now cower and
skulk under hasty denials of your complicity
with the bloody result of your wicked and
unholy doctrines, and take your places on
the witness-stand. Tell the world why this
thing has happened. Tell this jury wby they
are trying John E. Cook for his life. You ad
vised his conduct and taught him that he was
doing right. You taught him a higher law
and then pointed out to him the field of ac
tion. Let facts be submitted. Mr. Seward,
in speaking of slavery, says ‘It can and must
be abolished, and you and I must do it.’ What
worse did the prisoner attempt ? Again be
said, upon this same subject, ‘circumstances
determine possibilities ;’ and doubtless the cir
cumstances with which John Brown had con
nected his plans made them possible in his es
timation ; for it is in evidence before the coun
try, ucimpeached and uncontradicted, that
the great Senator of New York had the whole
affair submitted to him, and only whispered
back, in response, that he had better not been
told. He has boldly announced an irrepres-
sih^s conflict between the free and slave States
of thia Union- Tho ooditiouo phrases, -high
er law’ and ‘irrepressible conflict,’ warrant
and invite the construction which the prisoner
and his young deluded companions placed up
on them.—Yet they are either in chains, with
the frightful gibbet in full view, or sleep in
dishonored graves, while the apostle or mas- '
tcr-spirit of insurrection is loaded with honors
and fares sumptuously every day. Such is
poor, short-handed justice in this world..
An old ma> aud for many years a member
of the National Congress from Ohio, next shall
testify here before y^>u that he taught the pris
oner the terrible error which now involves his
sway. The influence of good and not of evil,
once more controled him as in the days of his
childhood; and now here, before you, he has
the merit at least of a loyal citizen making ail
the atonement in his power for the wrong which
he has committed. That he has told strictly
the truth in his statement, is proven by every
word of evideqeo in Ibis cause.”

Melancholy Affair in Crawford. — We
learn that a negro nurse in the family of Wil
liam H. Harris, near Knoxville, on Saturday
last, poisoned two children, one a daughter of
Mr. Harris, about four years old, and the other
a negro child, by putting arsenic in their tea,
both of whom died in a few hours. A negro
woman who tasted of the tea, is also very sick.
The nurse confessed the atrocious -deed, and the
object of it, to get rid of her little charge. Mr.
Harris had procured the arsenic to poison rats,
and a cautionary remark from him in laying it
aside, suggested the infernal idea to the nurse.
