Colonel Lewis W.

By Mr. Hurer—Was present at the conversation with Governor Wise on Tuesday; Governor Wise asked Brown if he had not selected Harper's Ferry a3 border place ‘between Maryland and Virginia for the esiablish- ment of bis provisional government, and he afiswored certainly; he avowed that bis object was to free the Southern slaves, and said that bis party consisted of twenty-two men, nineteen of whom came over with bim; be said he had two hundred Sharp's rifles, two hundred revolvers, and witness does not remember how many spears; Brown said he had enough toarm about 1,500 mon. the Governor asked if he expected that number; ho said, “(No doubt that number, and five thousand if he wanted j them” he detailed the conversation respecting the ‘provi- sional government substantially as the last witness. By Mr. Borrs—At the time of the attack on the engine house, the prisoners remained in the rear at the sagges- tion of Brown and bis party; heard Brown direct his party not to fire on any unarmed man; he gave that ordor | more than once.

Hig confinement has pot atall tamed the dering Mf his spirit; his height, as he stood erect, ADDOAFMS “Spe full six foot} his figure’ rather slender and wiry; but in a recumbent position he appears to be a much shorter nav. His eyes are both swollen, exhibiting the marks of bruises and contusions much more clgarly than on the occasion of our last intervie v with him, aud altogether he looked very haggard aii suffering. Coppock, his younger and unwounded companion, though betraying no emotions of fear, bore a worn and somewhat anxious look, appearing ever on the @lert as bis eyes scanned the crowa. Stephens seemed to be suffering very much from hs wounts; he was extremely pate, and seldom tified h eyes. ‘The two negroes presented nothing remarkable in thar bearing, but listlessly listened to what was going on as if uttorly bopeloss as to the results. All of the prisoners were seated within the bar, at the rear, old Brown on the right, the Sheriff and assistants closely ‘surrounding them, having a circle of guards, with muskets, hemming them in. Among the members ot the bar present were Charles B. Harding, Commonwealth’s Attorney for Jefferson county; and Androw Hunter, who has been appointed to assist the prosecution, Hon. Charles J. Faulkner, ex-31. C.; Laweon Botts, John W. Kennedy, Andrew E. Kenno- ® John A. Thompson and others. Mr. Ro- , who it had been reported would be as- signed as counsel fer the defence, was not present. Ag soon as the prisoners were placed in their positions and the guards stationed, the doors were epened and the crowd from without rushed in, filling, in a few moments, all the available space within the building. The room, however, was not so donsely crowded as we have re- peatedly Been at exciting trialsin New York. The court Toom iteelfisrather small, though well appointed, and must have given accommaédation to five hundred persons. ‘There were no negroes admitted. As soon as order was established the court was openod by the Sheriff, who read the warrant summoning the ma- gistrates of the county, and the commitment, both of which have beon already published in the Heratp. ‘The Presiding Magistrate thon addressed the prisoners, saying:—The charge on whioh you aro arraigned, John Brown, A.

Mr. Honter—They have nono. 1 ask the Court to as- sign them counsel that the usual forms may be observed. The Court was about to make some reply, when sud, dent: OW Brown roee up fo his fall height, and gazing around him, deliberately spoke in a firm yoice, amid the most profound silence and attention of all presént, as follows:— OLD BROWS'S SPEECH TO THE COURT. Vincintans—T did not ask for any qufrter. At the time I war taken I did not: ask to have my life spared. The Governor of the State of Virginia:has tendered 4o me his aseurance that Tshould have a fair trial, and fam now, ‘under no circumstances whatever, able to attend to a trial. You people that seck my blood, you can have it avy moment without the mockery of a trial. |The rest of his speech has been already published in the Haran.) ‘The specch was listened to with quict patience, but elicited no remark at the time from the Court. Old Brown then sat dowr. ‘The proceedings at the examination trial were given so fully by telegraph that itis unnecessary to publish our special report of them. THE. DECISION. After a brief consultation the decision of the Court was announced by Justice Davenport, as follows: Tt ia the opinion of the Court that the prisoners at the bar be remanded for afurther trial. The Sheriff will eon- duet them back to the jail. The guard was then re-formed outside of the jail, and the prisoners conducted back in the order in which thay came. ‘She Grand Jnry, who had been adjourned until two o’elock this afternoon, immediately took up the case. ‘The trial will commence immediately. Brown says he had assurance of assistance bsre, from blacks and whites, by frequent conversations. ; ¥ ‘THE HARPER'S FERRY OUTRAGE AMONG COMMERCIAL MEN, Among the prominent business men who frequent the Merchants’ and the Corn Bxchangee it may be re- marked that but one opinion prevails regarding the late attempted insurrection at Harper's Ferry, and that is one of the reverest condemnation. The number among thom classed as republicans have at all times beon largely in aminority, buteven they make no defence or excuse for Brown, his associates or abettors, The doctrine of “irrepressibie conflict” is wholly geouted by an overwhelming majority of them, who have daily too many occular demonstrations of the close mutual ties of interest and commerce between the North and the South—binding them togethor in the bonds of mutual dependence and harmony, which no amount of fanaticiem can burst asunder, Already 202,000 bales of cotton have loft our shores since the first of September last for Burope, of the value of about $10,000,000, and paid gross freightage of about $660,000, which has been chiefly re- coived by Northern ship owners. From 1,000 to 2,000 bbls. Sonthern flour, with large quantities of wheat, and later in the season, of Indian corn, rice, tobacco und naval stores, are sold almost daily in this market. While on our wharves are piles of boxes {filled with dry® goods, domes- stice, cotton and woollen goois, and boots and shoes, and also considerable kinds of Northern manufactures, await- ing shipment to Southern ports, for distribution in the in- terior of the Southern and Southwestern States. Steam! ship lines moltiply, and the number of vessels increases between all the Northern and Southern cities, Instead of an “irrepressible conflict’ thers is a growing, and, to all appearances, an “irrepressible” inion of hare ¥, aud of national devotion to our government amd constitution. ¥ S0ME FACTS ABOUT BROWN, COOK AND BLAIR. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HEEALD. Hanwvorp, Coun., Oct. 25, 1869. ‘The Harpér’s Ferry insurrection is a bitter pill for the republicans here, Old Brown was one of their potted agitators In the days of bleeding Kansas. He was em" ployed to “htick for freedom” in the Fremont hut here and st Collinsville, and other places in. this vicinity. Wrown’s father was originally from the wostern part of this or Litchfleld county, and Brown himself is said to hve traded in cattle to Litchfleld county formerly, and was aman of limited education and not very exalted in- stincts. Cook (who escaped) was from this place and a stone mason by trade. Brown's friend Blair, who got up the pikes, is an employé in the Collinsville Axe Sompany and bas hitherto been looked upon as a man of fair character. These pikes seem t have beon an unfinished job for Kanses operations three years ago, aud were finished up this summer through the agency of Blair, not at the Collins factory, but, it is said, at Unionville, a manufacturing village near’ by, in the’ wost part of tho town ot Farmington. 2%) ‘YORK HERALD, FRIDA bs bi aot!

Nothing could better prove Old Brown's unfitness for the part he undertook to play than the reck- Jess manner in which he compromised all his friends by preserving their correspondence ingtead of destroying it. He had a carpet bag stifled full of letters frem leading men in tho North and West; and, in addition to that, his houso was strown with dooumonts. The neighbors, when thoy beard of the Harpor's Ferry explosion, ransacked the house and carried away mueh of what may turn ow tobe most compromising matter. The Maryland voluw teers got a lot of it and brought it to Baltimere. Diatriot.

Another pieco of this same correspondence: has sow turned up, in the shape of a letter from Brown’s military preceptor, Hugh Forbes, to the Secretary of the British Anti-Slavery Society. It is ag follows:— RAPORT TO THE BERTISH ANTI-GLAVERY SOCIETY. Naw York, Fab: I, 1858. To L. A. Caammroavow, Eaq., Secretary of the Aatt-Sla- very Society, No. 27 New Broad street, London:— My Dear Sm—I perooive from article LY. of your so- ciety that yam regard slavery in the United States as au economical and humanitarian question, and that you sup- pose thas tho slavo owners, their partisans and the indif_ ferent,, can be reached through an appeal to their reagon,, or bg arousing in them feelings of sympathy and charity. So, thought 1 when I landed in America. Indeed, those were some years ago the proper points here to hare treated upon, and they yot are in every part of the world, except the United States. Honce,may you conprehend why so little has been accomplished here; for the aboli- lidioniate bave been expending, and yet continue to waste, their energies and resources, hammering on those spats where no impression can be made, It is not surprising that you, in Europe, should labor under this mistako; but it does astonish moe thet so many of tho sincere anti-slavery men here should fall into the same error. Slavery in the United States is a political question, All other matters sink into insiguilicance. beside it. It may actually be termed the only permanent question, since it abgorbs all others. Not merely does it regard America, but, it affects the well-being of all man- kind; and if its partisans be not checked in their course, they will scatter desolation and blood over this continent to acquire land of which to make slave territory, and will plunge the world into war to sustain the piratical slave trade. FORNES ON THE PRO-SLAVERY FACTION. After the triumph of the Revolution of 1775-83, the pro- slavery reaction was temporarily humbled. It had not, in 1787, recovered sufiiciently from the shock to prevent the paseage of the modified Jeffersonian ordinance re- garding the Territories; neither could it, when the United States constitution was framed, introduce into that instru- ment the word slavery, though the liberals were not able to prevent an indirect recognition of its legality. Tho re- action, nothing daunted by difficulties, toiled earnestly, and by directing judiciously its offorts, it gained strength. It flattered’ the national vanity by tho acquisition of new Seuthern States and Western territory; it threw the slavery question into the political arena; though pre- eminently the enemy of the working man, it assumed the captivating name of “‘democratic’’—an@baving augment- ed its numbers by thus attracting to itself the poor whites of the South and many of those of the North, it boldly ‘stopped the work of emancipation by States, passed penal laws prohibiting tho instraction of colored people, enacted the Fugitive Slave law, and set at naught the Missouri compromise. Since Kansas has been claimed for slavery, observe how the tone of the emboldened pro-slavery pro- paganda of tho South and that of its Northern confede- rates is changed. Prior to that audacious claim the press and politicians of that party feigned to deplore the exist- ence of slavery, and te excuse its continuance as ‘‘an evil which had been entailed upon them which they did not know how to gvt rid of:’’ Now that samo prots and those same politicians, encouraged by their clergy and elated by a series of successes, avow that they regard slavery as a blessing, and they jously advocate the reopening of the slave trade.

Toyed poor whitestathe North. “The “term? would, of course, vecime perpewwal. Such @ notion you may treat as ridiculogs. T reply that every step whiok the pro- slaveryites have taken was pronounced to be ridiculous and impossible till they had actually made it. The soi- mire of Texas and tho intreduction of slavery thercin was laughed at, till the crime was completed. Tho Missouri compromise was regarded as inviolable, till it was tram- ‘Pled under foot. The iden that armed Missourians could dare to cross over the frontier of their own State to Kan- sas, and thero vote for its inhabitants, was termed pro- posterous, till the deed was perpetrated. The asser- tion that the central government. of the United States could aid and abet the evil doers, could disre- gard popular rights, and could fend its troops to Protect tho stuffers of the ballot boxes, was scouted, and those who strove to awaken the citizens tothe dangor were denounced as infamougs* slanderers, till those outrages actually were committed. I repent to you that the fate of the slavery question isin the hands of corrupt place hunters, eager todo the bidding of the Southern party in the United States, which corresponds to that known in Europe as “‘the renclion.”” Those demo- cratic pro- yoke? managers care not whether there be or Ve not one stave In Kansas, but they insist upon the legal right to hold them there, becauze by that manoauvre they keep the political organization of the new State under the influcnee of their party, ard sevure the two votes in the Ununited States Sonate. After this they wil set avout get- ting more by the admission of new slave States, aided by democratic Northwestern ones like California, Minnogota, Oregon, &c., only nominally free soil, soas to be always sure of the preponderance—each State, large or small, sending two members, and no more, to the United States Senate. GHARACTER OF THE UNITED STATES BENATE, It may be necessary to explain to you in Europe that which i¢ but i shied understood even here—viz: that the United tes ate is practiaally the govern- branch of this republic, and that thé pro-slavery politicians control the government by being masters of the Senate. Tho President does, it is true, name his Cabinot, and he docs fill up many vacant posts, and likowise he makes treaties with foreign Powerg; but the Senate, which ratifies or rejects those appointments and those treaties, is practically the office distributing and treaty making power. The inquiries by that vody respecting each candidate for an appointment are not—Is ha a good. citizen? Is he fit for tho place? Is he honest?’ Is he talented? Is he likely to do credit and good service to the country? Has he ever done the nation any service? The only conaideration worth fathoming by the Sonate is— «How is he on slavery?’ Youmay by counting the six- teen non-elavcholding Siates and the fifteen alaveholding States, be misled into the belicf that the sixteen will out- vote the fifteen on the slavery issue. So they could if they would; but they won’t, nor never will, for faster than the pro-slaveryites (cach member serves six years) can be replaced by anti-slaveryites in the Northern States, feeb pro-slavery Senators will be added by the admission of new States. Southern members fight for eachother like hornets whenever slavery is the subject in dispute— they aro true to the bad cause which they ropresent— mutual reliance imparts to them courage atid strength. Northern members do not hold togethor—the domocrats vote pro-slavery, and the republicans do not vote for the extinction of the evil bat merely against its extension over territory now free. And moreover, the North, non siaycholding, yet dominéored over by the slaveocracy, ig not mer¢ly weakened by being thus disunited on the question of ‘slavery, but the republicans or freasoilers are further exieebled by not being able to rely upon each other. PATCITY OF REAL ABOLITONISTS, As to the real abolitionists, they are few, in or out of 8, SUMNER, WADE, HALE AND WITSON. Senator Sumner Would probably go the farthest, acting upon princinic, even though unsupported—and Wade, of Ohio, with John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, seem to wisk todo much if they thought they could reasonably expect to be sustained; but few indeed will, oven in the canse of humanity, advance beyond that mark up to whiSh they 4 fe that they can count upon the support of their friends. Senator Wilson bchaved well ou the occasion, of the out- rage upon his colleague; but that tame Wilson js, moro than any other individual, responsible for the freo State men in Kansas baving abandened the high ground of principle for the dirty spasm, of party politics. Ho went to Kansas expressly to induce the place hunting stump oratore—Robinson , Pomeroy Lane, &.—in the name of the New England republicans, to persuade the people to recognise and. vote under the border ruflan laws, as was done October, Those orators at the Grasshopper Falls Convention, (instigated by Wilson, who had returned to New England,) derided and scoffed at principle ag “ab. surd and inconvenient.” Lane confossod | that the road he wanted thom to take was “like going through a filthy sluice;”” yet he did not blush to advocate that course for what he termed ‘‘policy.””_ Now observe who (though in vain) oppored the New Ragland rcpect ef abandoning principle for intrigue—they were Philips, 7 and Conway, an anti-slavery Southerner. HAD ACCOUNT OF AMERICAN NORTHERNERS. This ig a woefully exact specimen of the party, and is to tho great conspiracy which exploded Prematurely at Published yesterday, disclosing the last two yoars secret |: an illustration of the reliance which can bo reposod ii Aworican Northerners, who, to grasp at any sha- dow which promines individual gain, bave no dependence ‘on cach other, and will therofere fail when they come to @ question of bare principle and’ public spirit.” The ad- ministration at Washington undorands their worthless. ness and treats them with the most profound contempt, ae of no account whatever; and ng actuated by love of place rather than of principly, the admiuiatra- tion will be true to that party which it Knows by experi- ence wilt be true to it. : i i! | H g Fe =F [ z e £ ‘ i fr iff Hl i tl i: i f ig AER in I + i i E white because. persons have becn prohibited trom contact with them, boing ia the Southern States subjected to slavory, and the free being treated as an inferior race, wi the Northora repelled us unworthy of ordinary fay and as unfit to touch: they are not even allowed in an omnibus as a right—a female sometimes enter, by suiforance. owners, but then the convert has to decamp, is ho if he vanish in timo to avoid @ coat of tar and because work that is not paid for can be secured and is that which is relied upon fora permanence, Yot those ragged and destitute whites are 60 ignorant and stupid as to sustain slavery (even by violence and at the sacrifice | of life) because their pride and projudico are appealed to by tho slaveocracy, and they are taught to lord it over the colored race and to cousider as an enemy any ono who would deprive them of that privilege. It is penal for any one by speech or print to open the eyes of the deluded poor whites. You may, perhaps, refer mo to Missourl. That State became protty thickly settled by Germans, while that nationality voted for the democratic candidates, but when the citizens of German birth dis- covered that in America democratic is synonymons with pro-slavery, then they became for the most part republi- cons. Being established in Missouri in suflicient numbers to exact respect, others can now sulely cluster round them. But in other Southern States the mattor is differ- ent, for since the German elemont has been denounced as “tinged with abolitionism,” settlers of that nationality are not permitted quietly to Miter in and gradually accu- mulate 80 as 40 be politically of any use. WHERR IT ALL LEADS TO. 1. yet undisclosed. Where will all this lead to? If not impeded by practical measures the pro-slavery _politicat managers, North and South, will continue their en- croachments on liberty. The party will make the nation the filibuster. It will grasp islands in the West Tndics, and slices of Moxico and Central America whorcin. to plant and to perpetuate slavery—it will roopen the slave trade (the poor whites are already swallowing the bait in the shape of a promise of a slave each)—it will re-cn- slavo the freemen of color (the project is already can- ‘vassed)—it-will make the Unit States become the great élavery propagandist Power of tho world, and oonse- quently tho mortal. enemy of every opprested people which may struggle to throw off the yoke of despotism, and ‘will be antagonistic to Engaiids which is the great auti-slavery power. Neither the intrigues of corrupt, unreliable stump orators and political wire- pullers, nor the tricks of cl Speculators, nor tho sighing and preaching of amiable philanthropists, dof- cient in energy and resolution, will arrest the onward march of slavery.

With less than half a score of men surviving, ho held the Armory for many hours, refusing, though cut off from all sus- cor und surrounded vpon all sides, to surrender, and was taken with sword iu hand, overpowored by superior numbers, yet fighting tothe last.
