ARDS FROM HORACE GREELEY AND JAMES REDPATH. ‘A certain Mr. H. Forbes—sometimes (1 know not why) ealled “ Colone! Forbes" —fills a close page of the Heratp with what are there characterized as “ Most Important Revelations” respecting Old Brown and the complicity of Jeacing republicans in his recent operations. Into this la. bored and successful attempt at selfexposure by ‘ Colonel Forbes,” I find my uame most wantonty dragged. My en!y reason for noticing the performance is a belief that We public may infer from the facts in my case what is the probable truth wifh respect to others whose names Dave been dragged into these “ Most Important Reveia- tions ‘This Forbes appeared in our city some time after the ex- Plosion of the European revohitionary uprising bf 1843, and claimed to have borne an important part in that movement. Of course he was needy, and the Heap gays he was '+at one lime a reporter or translator en the Tribune.” This is quite probable, thougis I do not recol- Jeot it. 3 Some time late in 1856 (1 think it was), I was apprised ‘that he was going out to Kansas to help the free State wen, then threatened with annihilation by the border ruf- fiane of Missouri, backed by federal functionaries and Lawrence had then been twice beleaguered and ed; Ossawatomie had been twice ravaged and ped; Leavenworth had been just before swept clean of State men by a Missouri raid—William Phillips being butchered while defending bis own hoage, his brother badly wounded and captured, while those who made no Feaistauce were sent down the river at an hovr’s notice, As Forbes professed to be a capable and experienced multary officer, especially qualitied for guerilla or border warfar’, aud a5 he had always claimed to be an earnest red republican and foe of every form of human Wavery, I thought his resolution natura! and com- mendable. Knowing him to be poor, I gave him $20 as be! was starting; others gave him larger a ®ams; how much in all, I’de not know; but I think wns total receipts from friends of free Kansas on ac- eount of his resolve cannot have fallen below $700. He ‘Wont, Was absent some months, came back: that is all I know of his services to the free State cause in any shape. ‘Whether because he was not needed, or was not trusted, or wus found incompetent, Ido not _know—I only know that he did nothing, and was practically worth oothing. 1 believe he spent part of the money given him in print ing a pamphiet, embodying his notions of guerilla or partisan warfare; of course no dollar ever etme back. ‘1 think I heard of him before hie return, clamoring for more money. in due time he reappeared in New York, and vame to me (as to others) with complaints that he had been do- cetved, misled, swindled, beggared, his family (in Paris) turned into the strects to starve, &c., &c. I tried to ascer- tain who hai deceived bim, what promises made to kim had been broken, &c., but with !ittle success. All I contd make out was that come one—he now says it was Old Brown—had yrornised him something in the way of pecu- — ore ee his services, which had not been made gvod, and his fumily were consequently re- duced to the brink of Marvaticn. ‘To this hour I have never learned what Brown (or any ‘one else) promised Forbes, nor how far the promiser pro- feseed to have the right to t others.

Forbes says that I—in response to his complain repreeentations—“argued that | [he] had no legal according to the lower law.” It really seems to me that there was no room for argument on that point.

Hi8 explanation is this:— ‘Two years 5 Mr. Smith, in order to help the free State movement in Kansas, gave Brown a nole of about $300 agaiust a man then in Kansas. Brown could not collect the note, so he returned it to Smith, who agreed to give him, at some future time, cash to the amount of the note. Atter that ho lost sight of Brown until about the Ist of June last, when he received a letter requesting him to send a draft for a certain amount, $100 we think, payable to the order of another party. Mr. Smith, in compliance with the request and bis former promise, promptly for- warded the draft, supposing it was a bona fide firm to whom it was addressed. fo probably believed also that the money was to be used, at least indirectly, in assisting fugitive slaves, as that was the last ‘Kansas work” that he knew anything about. Mr. Smith says distinctly that he had no knowledge or the least suspicion that wn was engaged in planning an insurrection. This agrees perfectly wRh Brown's statements, that he alone origi- nated and carried on his scheme. FRED DOUGLAS IN CANADA. The whereabouts of Fred Douglas has been a matter of talk since the Harper's Ferry insurrection. We are as- sured that he was in Canada, near Suspension Bridge, a day or two since, and there intimated to a gentleman that he thought it was best for him to remain where he was for the present.

From the Richmond Inquirer, democratic ofgan.] NON-INTERVENTION— HOW IT WORKS. ‘The Harper Ty emeute seems to have invigorated with redoubled zeal the friends of protection to slavery in the States and Territories. When the confederacy, as at present governed, subjects Southern States to pillage, and Junder, and inurder, the unprotected slayeholder in the erriiortes would fure badly if left to courts of justice. pservatives of the North must see, in tbe Harper’s Ty atlair, that the only settlement of the disturbingand dangerous quesbon of slavery is in the acknowledgement of its constitutional rights and their protection, This is necessary to preserve the Southern States from the conse- quences of “irrepreesibie conflicts’ like that at Harper's Ferry, which enaunger the confederacy, and, unless ly and effectuaifY prevented, must disrupt the Already the want of that protection afforded by a pro- per enfureement of the Fugitive Slave law has liberated, to all intents and purposes, the slaves of the northern bor- der of Virginia. Slavery in Fairfax, Loudoun, Jefferson, Berkeley, Morgan, Hamishire and sitnilarly situated coun: Lies, is at present an institution not enforced by the sanc- tion of law, but preserved by the voluntary sutferance of the slaves themscives, Atany momeot, any Saturday night, with hat in hand, they can bid adieu to master and decamp to Pennsylvania, fuding shelter and ction, inetcad of a proper enforcement of constitutional obliga- tions. Non-intervention has practically liperated the slaves of entire tier of counties in Virginia. Non-intervention has sircady given just cause for dissolution, and unless speedily abandoned by the national ment, and the constitutional obiigation of ter vention for protecton be adopted, there will assemble no more National Conventions of {he democracy, and the day of Gisupion will speedily dawn. The conservate Union men throughout the South are daily giving way before the just cry for some certain and sure remedy against the destruc- tive policy of non-intervention. If the Harper’s Ferry emeute is the necessary conse- quence of the “irrepressible conflic;”’ of Mr. Seward, the berated condition of the slaves ot Northern Virginia is the practical effect of the doctrine of non-intervention. If the dogma of Seward hae initiated the crimes of murder and treason, the negation of non-intervention has pa- ralyzed the laws of Virginia, liberated our slaves and de- frauded our citizens. If the negroes of Harper’s Permy did not rally to the black stancard, and enlist in the “irrepressible conflict,” it ‘was because non-intervention had already rendered them free, and they e unwilling to risk the consequences of a couflict where the benefita it could confer, if cuccessful, were no greater than thoge already enjoyed. The negroee of Northern Virginia are free, by the ope- ration of federal non-intervention: the authority of the mi hey remain in the State because m to remain; we law enforces obedience, no of the master compels labor, for the enforce- ither results in the certain loss of the slave. ment of When this unrestrained liberty becomes insufferable to ‘the white, the negro ia converted into money, and white labor thus gradually undermines the institution. Each year this Northern free labor wave encroaches farther ‘upon the fpstitution, and devotes a portion of slave soil to the future of white labor. Thus, non-intervention by the federal government is practically abolitionising Virginia, and gradually but sure- ly andermining the institution of slavery. White the “‘ir- Tepreesibie conflict’? terminates the folly and blood- shed of Harper’a Ferry, the stuitifving, disquali- fying plea of negatton—“ non-intervention”—quietly undermines slavery throughout the border counties of Virginia. The former wocan conquer by our owa right arm, bt the latter poisons the very life blood of slavery in Virginia, and, unless arrested, will eat like a loathsome cancer into the very vitals of Southern slavery. Non- intervention, the negation of law, is no principle for a peo- ple whoee lawless marauders are not deterred from aezail. ing.the sovereignty of the States. In the days of Harper’s Ferry emeu we want the enforcement otlews, and pot Protection of slavery is demanded by the ered citizens, and the traitorous Southern 8 doy the right is even more criminal than the inmates of Charlestown jail.

ARRISON’S VIEW OF THE HARPER'S FERRY ‘ MOVEMENT. {From the Boston Liberator of Oct. 28.] i tod a lar hy orion of i i umber ‘We have devoted a large ‘our present n' to the publication of such particulars of the well intended but sadly misgwded effort of Capt. John Brown and his ‘of confederates, at Harper's to liberate the slaves in Virginia, and ultimately thi jout the South, as have been received; with the comments of various democratic and republican joyrnals upon this outbreak, which are characterized by an equal mixture of ferocity and cowardice, ? ‘As to the plot itself, it is evident that few er nono were privy to it, except the little band directly engaged in it; for thongh Capt.

OLD BROWN AND NAT TURNER, THE CO- LORED MEN’S HEROES. The Anglo-ayvican newspaper, the organ of the colored peopie of the North, saya:— John Brown is one of the ago, and the man of the American continent. He is far in advance of thus much of the country in which he has lived, and being ful! of well-spent years, and of brighter hopes to-day than ever of the ultimate success of the great work of liberation of e bondman—the ar = of his life—be is now ready, # woed be, to be ollered up. Whoever will read the examination of Brown can be but struck by his wonderful saperiority over each and all of his captore, not excepting Governor Wise himself ; and none more the Governor has been made sensible of this fact. His (Brown’s) large humanity in eparing the life of these whom it was in his power to take, and neces- sary to the prosecution of his plans; yea, evon necessary to cave bis own life, was one of many great proofs of this kind. His determiaation to implicate no others, even to save himself, is anothtr proof of the moral grandeur of the man, ‘Tho samo paper also announces that *‘ the ofoquont Rev. 4. Sella Martin,” whom we suppose to ored fu tive. will discourse next Wednesday, in Shiloh Church, on Nathanial Turner, the slavé leader of the famous Vir- ginid insurrection of 1930, in which he paid the penalty of his life. OSSAWATOMIE BROWN. {From the Cleveland Democrat.) i A bolder or a worse man than that same Oseawatomie Brown the world never knew. His single virtue, ‘linked with o thousand crimes,” was bulldog courage. Fanatic to the highest degree—a pupil in politics of the Giddings school—he has been taught to beliove that the lailling of a slaycholder was an act which God would approve. When in this city last epring, in his lectures, he told of his steal- ing negroes and running them off to Canada—of his steal- ing horses, whieh he then had with him for sale—of his shooting down slaveholderg, ‘and of-other acta equally atrocious. ‘And now,” said Brown, “I wish to know if the people of Cleveland approve of what I bayo done. Those who approve of my acts will say ‘aye,’”” and more than one-half of his audience, composed of abolitionists, shouted “aye,” whilst not a singlé “nay” was uttered by any one present. ‘Such approval as this—and the question was put at all bis lectures—gave Brown confidence that his party would sustain bim in whatever he might do againstthe men of the South; and thus emboldesied the miserable wretch, by servile insurrection, songh,to overthrow the government and bring himeelf to its head. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. PARALLEL BETWEEN BROWN AND THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS—THE LOCALITY OF THE OUTBREAK IN A MILITARY POINT OF VIEW. ‘TO THE EDITOR OF THR HERALD. It ix impossible, after redding the account of the ingur- rection at Harper’s Ferry, not to be impressed with the serious predicament in which the inhabitants of that sec- tion of the country would have been placed had the plans of the leader not miscarried, simply for want of adequate preparation. a The spot was well chosen, and tho plan was projected by a natural soldier:-plenty of arms of the “most im- proved make to ibute among the negroes, and a broken country to facifitate their escape across the line, formed the more apngrent advantages of the scheme, while the high mountain ranges between Cumberland and ‘Wheeling would, in the event of success, have furnished in their gorges and raxgyos shelter for bodies of insur- gents to form the nucleus of future insurrections, and to act as convoys for runaway slaves. Once acrows the border line the fugitives were safe, by the connivance and active co-operation of black republican sympathy, A steady drain upon the slave population of the contiguous Stated would have thus commenced, and the whole stand- ing army of the United States could not have sufficiently guarded the passes to bave stopped their exodus, No portion of the boundary between the North and the South offers such facilities for an organizod and perma- nent insurrection of slaves as the distriet in question; and whether Brown or some one else originated the idea, it displays great engacity. Brown failed for want of men, and because the slaves bad not been duly taught and prepared for instant co- operation in the scheme. perly arranged before the enterprise commenced, it is tin- poseible to conceive of a failure. Tet vs be thankful that it did misearry, and lot us hope that the eyes of the South may be openod to a dangerons future, which this premature attempt of a dosperate man has fortunately unmasked in time. If the South at this time cannot throw overboard its noisy demagogues, and, irrespective of party, unite in demanding and obtaining from the North security for her slave institutions, then, Mr. Editor, we must look for further and more serious manifestations of the “irrepressible conflict” taan that fur- nished by the late attempt at Harper's Ferry. ‘The black republican prints are down on “Oseawattomle Brown.” He is insane, a madman, a ruffian, und—worst of all—an abolitionist! It might be interesting, in this connection, to compare two types of character, of which Brown should be one and our leadog black republicans the other, in order to arrive oa — as to their relative excellence as citizens The accounts show that Brown was thoroughly in ear- hest—that his fanatieftm or insanity persuaded fim that he was doing God service.

They do not profess to thivk £0, but are nevertheless steadily pursuing acourse which they must know will inevitably lead to scenes of borror and bloodshed, with which the evil that Brown bas wrought sinks into obtivion. Brown went to Virginia to run off slaves by wholesale; they and thelr partisans are doing the same, but in de tail, along the borders every day, by sending over emissa- ice off the begroes, arming them wo resist if by which several bloody affrays have alread respect for the constitution and laws, because they tolerated slavery—in bis eyes a deadly crime, They appeal to the constitution—quote it, as the devil does scripture—but preach against the compromises of the constitulion—the Fugitive Slave law, for instance— until they have excited mobs to impede, harrass, impri- gon, and ever put to death unoffending citizens in search of ecaped slaves. Brown was earnest, and could not delay his work. He believed that he was called to#, They abuse him, be- cause they fear the eyes of the people may be opened to the logical consequences of their teachings, and abandon them in the next Presidential election, For proof of thelr teachings, listen to Mr. Seward’s own words in his mfa- mous Rochester speech: ‘One class say cannot trust the republican party— that they iat ith pot avowed its hostility to slavery boldly enough, or {hat it hus ve Ly x vee oy ue. 4 flection for freedom earnestly eno * her not supper the republican party because It has not sufi clently expored its platform ue ootermloes what it will do {ni wbath will not’ do when bant * = * aeif any party ever foresaw so clearly the course of future events aa to plan a universa) scheme for future HM bi would ever have joined even the whig party of the Revolution if it had Leen obliged to answer in 1778 wheiher it would d for independence in 1776? * * # Lest the above should not be signfficant enongh of the intentions of the republicans towards slavery, in the event of their getting possession of the government, Mr. Seward further says—‘1 know and you know that a revolution has begun.

Mr. Seward, igh the whole of this, evidently looks to the party-bei educated upto practical aboiitionism by the time it arrives in power—for revolutions never go backwards. The leaders of the blhck republican move- ment know this as well, and this constitutes their treach- ery to the country. Now, Mr. Editor, who is the better man and citizen, Ozsawattomie Brown, now in prison for a capital crime, or these men who their prospects and principles ontil they can safely unveil them, conscious eir course will involve the country in @ disaster unparalleled in history? TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Near Warrenton, Favqurer Co, , Va., Oct. 20, 1859. As you solicit the truth from all parts of the world, and as there bas been a great deal of falschood spread abroad about the Harper's Ferry insurrection, I haye concluded to give some information on this subject which will pose!- bly enlighten it, This Harper’s Ferry affair is no more a servile insurrec- tion than was General Walker’s descent upon Nicaragua. For proof of my premise, I point to the signiftant fact that the first person slain was a slave in the employ of the Railroad Company; that they (abolitionists) captured the slaves, and per force drove them along with them, and in some instances the slaves were carried along with their masters, and imprisoned because they refused to bear arms; that by the confession of that arch-devil, Brome, and his surviving followers, there were more concerne: in the movement; that, Saal, they confess they owed their defeat to the apalhy and ‘want of sympathy of the slaves. Moreover, by advices received here to day, Governor Wise says that the report of the escape of several hundred slaves with Capt. Cook is totally un- fommied in fact, and that all reports which relate to Cook’s whereabouts state him as hunted in the moun. tains of Virginia by both white and blacks, wih energy and determination to capture. This information I have from a gentleman who has just returned from the scene of action. man, Hayward, was attended by an immense concourse of slaves as well as white citizens. In fact, this dastardly attempt at disturbing the peace and well being of society has fallen terribly on the originators, and on ther alone. It is another significant fact, Mr. Editor, that there will be no slaves brought to trial. OLD DOMINION, THE “K.G.C.” AND THE “IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT,” ‘TO THR EDITOR OF THE HERALD. It is sald that a prominent member of the inysterious “K. G. C.” is often geen in consultation with a well known abolitionist, who, it is alleged, was in some manner concerned in the late outbreak at Harper’s Ferry. May it not be possible, then, that Old Brown’s party is a Bor: tion of this mysterious organization, and that the late ¥ vention of the ‘“K. G. C.” in Virginia, was held to devise ways and meansfor the event which has proven such a miserable failure. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD ‘New York, Oct. 24, 1859.

On Tuesday | evening Mr. Lamar, her owner, who had been absent, and but just returned to the city, met Mr. Collector Roston, and ‘Stated to him that he had reason to suspect that Capt.

Mr>Lamar subsequently (a few minutes after) returned to the Castom Honse and to Mr. Boston that the Wanderer br aground in the river, and requost- ed him to furnish a steamer with which to go in pursuit of her. Mr. Boston informed Mr. Lamar that it was a new caso in his experience—that the escape was a violation of the revenue laws, but it was his (Mr. L.'s) proporty that had been stolen—that he did not feel authorized, tho cut- | ter not being at command, to contract a debt on the part | of the government to recover his vessel; at the same time informing him that if he would procure a steamer to go in pursuit of the Wanderer, be would inetruct an officer Of the revenuo to accompany him, and that he would lay the matter before the government, and if payment of the expense incurred was refused, he (Mr. L.) would be re- eponsible. | The interview between Mocers.

Mr. Lamar procured the steam tug Columbus, and, accompanied by two Custom House officers, with anumber of friends, well armed—among whom were several who had sold ship supplics to the Wanderer, yet to be paid for—left the city fifteen minutes past ten o’clock in pur- snit.

They still cling Ww their belief th&t the mecting of the so-called American Couvention at tb¥s piace the same day of the republican, was a game Of the latter for the purpose of killing off the Americay party. Whether that is the true state of affairs or bot, One thing is certuin—the American party of this State is defunct. It may be kept upashort time longer 1D some of the counties for local purposes, where it will serve the end of local politicians, but as a State organiza- tion it has breathed its jast; its carcass has been Jef: un- buried, and none can be found to perform the funcral rites. "Those who have been proud to do homage to the party when in its full vigor, marching on to victory, have now, in its dying moments, lett it to the mercy of its ene- mies. Now and then there is heard a plaintive tone from some gentinel in diflureot portions of the State, who has been so long asteep at hie post that be is not aware that his party is no more, monrning over the loneliness of hia position, and uttering the famous rallying cry, to whicke he gets no response but the faint echo from deserted halls to bis own voice. There isa pretence on the part of a portion of the opposition press that the American party is still alive and will support Mr. Olden, bus that is but a protessi dodge to serve the republicans. ‘The latter were but g mere handful in this Staw in 1856, and have since that time been always afraid of organizing as distinct republicans, They have, however, always succeeded in making a cat’s paw of the Ainericans, and have been successtul in bauling the chestnuts out of the fire with them, which they never failed to eat thom- selves; and still the Americans allow themselves thus to be used. In this campaign the leading republicans talk against Seward, saying that he is not the man for New Jersey; but thisis only to pull the wool over the eyes of their American friends. A fow days since a friend of* Seward’s, not initiated in che mysteries of this game,asked a leading republican here why ho talked against Sew- ard, and received the reply that he did not ineau what he sald. “Seward was their man, but it would not doto let tho Americans know it unti! we get them all oy web us; our game is to pull the wool over the eyes of the Ameri. can portion of the opposition; we will get them to go for foal oa to the Naticnal Oonvendon fer Seward with a little management.’ This may, therefore, de Mes is down as the plan of the republican leaders in ‘This is the plan of the republican: managers State. of this State, whatever may be their professions to the contrary; their whole game is to forward the Seward cause in this State; whether talking for or against hin: it all aims at the same result. The squirming which the; exhibit under the prospect of the Harpe: break injuring the author of the “ irrop doctrine, shows plainly where their affectionsare, not- withstanding their professions. Everywhere that I bave to-day met republicans they utter lamentations over tho news from Virginia, and all openly admit that it has in- jured their Cause : most of them express their fears that it will turn the scale in the coming Stato election, It is plainly to be seen that it is a developement that they hat not bargained for. Those Americans that assembled in Convention on tho Tth September at this place will probably all use their influence for Mr. Olden ; not so, however, with those who composed the Camden Convention. The latter nominated Mr. Clark for the purpose of keeping up a distinct or- ganization, Mr. C, having written a letter stating he was opposed to fusion and in favor of presorving the Ameri- can party distinct and indepenaent, The committeo, however, witheld their offictal. notive to him of his nomi- mation until after the Convention of the 7th september. But Mr, Clark, instead of remaining quiet, feli into the mania 80 prevalent with Presidential aspirants— writing letters. in one of his ‘communications be stated that he did pot intend to accept the etraight ont nomination unless he received that of the so-callod American Convention of the 7th September. This blander- ing Jeter the Stockton Americavs assert rained them; it kuocked the spring from under the platform, leaving them ail banging high wnd dry by the necks. The republicans, of course, Scized upon tho letter at once, an: through it proved to’ the more timid that they had nothing totes trom Mr, Clark; but notwithstanding that it js still Botioved that if the republicans had not rusl into the American Convention, and voted where they had no right to, Clark would have been no: 7 inated in spite of his folly.” That way the Stockton or straight-out Ameri- and }, most of whom will ‘ot if they vote at all. Political matters in this State have resolved into re- publican and democratic—au other issucs are buried; it therefore only remains for those straight-out Araericans to.
