GIDDINGS, His Viewsof John Brown’s Harper's Ferry Plot~ ‘What he Knew of the Affair, £0, PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28, 1859, Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, of Ohio, delivered a discourse this evening, at the National Guard’s Hall, on the subject of the “ Harper’s Feary Insurrection,” and John Brown, Ossawattomie. Mr. Ginpmcs gaid—There is at this time an unusual ex- citement in tho community. Nineteen men, one week since, invaded the Old Dominion, captured two thousand of her inhabitants, and sent consternation throughout hee vast territory. Her Governor has taken the field in per- son, called out her military forces, and placed arms and troops at all available points, Maryland, too, has supplied, her quota of men and arms; while the President of the United States bas ordered such portions of the army ag Were within convenient distance to repair to the scene of conflict, and placed the militia of the District of Columbia in active service to protect the public property. He also Placed arms and ammunition in the City Hall, to be used in case of emergency, ‘The invading force is nearly all slainm—perhape four of stbem remain alive, but nearly dead of wounds. Others have fled, but probably all are by this time prisoners. Yet even in this city, and in several ‘States, there appears to be a degree of excitement and consternation, It is, ia truth, the first instance in which any number of white men have cambined for the purpose of giving freedom ta the slaves of our nation. ~ Such scenes have long been foretold. More tham seventy years sinco Mr. Jefferson pointed his countrymen to the time where this condition of things must taka place, and solemnly warned them that in such @ con- test God had no attribute that would enable him to take sides with the slaveholder. Nearly twenty years since Mr. Adams, with prophetic assurance, said “the day of the deliverance of the slave must come—whether in Peace or in bicod ae could not tell—but whether it came in peace or in blood,” he said, “Let it come.” The sympathy of the Christian world is with the slaves. For their hberation our ministers pray, our statesmen labor, and their freedom is the object and de- tire with all candid, intelligent men; while all feel un~ willing to see their freedom stained with blood. Men of age, of experience, look coolly upon these facts. They should not be moved, nor permit themselves to become excited. Ideplore the loss of human life as deeply ag any men. I never witness human woe, nor can I look. upon human suffering unmoved; and yet I would no! ask for the slave, nor for the master, for Brown, nor for hig This interesting incident in our country’s history, stands connected with some well deiined cause, The subject which excited the invaders to action is unmistak- ably set forth in all the accounts we have received. The institution of slavery was the moving cause. Whether Brown and his men are as guilty as they are reprozented. or not, their object seems to have been the liberation of the slaves of that region.

Cross—Yes; thero was another paper prepared by Kitzmiller and some others; I went out to stop the firing; a man went with me, and they took him prisoner and tied him; this was Thompson, who was afterwards takon out and shot; Brown’s treatment of me was kind and respectful; heard him talk roughly to some men who were going into where the blacks were confined. Several witnesses for the prisoners were here called, and did not answer the subponas. They had not been returned. Brown arose from his mattress, evidently excited, and standing on his feet, addressed the Court as follows:— May rr Pumasr THR CovetT—I discover that notwithstand- ing all the aseurances I haye received of a fair trial, nothing like a fair trial is to be given me, as it would seem. I gavo the names, as goon as I could get them, of the persons I wished to have called as witnesses, and was assured that they would be subpmaned. I wrote down a memorandum to that effect, saying where those parties were; but it appears that they have not been subpesnaed, so far as I can learn; and now I ask if Lam to have anything at all deserving the name and shadow of a fair trial, that this proceeding be deferred until to-morrow moruing; for I have no counsel, a8 I have before stated, in whom I feel that J can rely; but I am in hopes counsel may arrive who will attend to secing that I got the witnesses who are necessary for my defence; I am myself unable to attend to it; Thave given all the attention I possibly could to it, but am unable to see or know about them, and can’t evon find out their names; and I have nobody to do any errands, for my mo- ney was all taken from me when I was sacked and stab- bed, and I hayo not adime; “I had twohundred and fity or sixty dollars in gold and silver taken from my pocket, and now I have no possible moans of getting anybody to go my errands for me, and I have not had all the witnesses subpanaed. They are not within reach and are not here. I ask at least until to-morrow morning to have something done, if anything is designed; if not, I am ready for anything that may come up. Brown then lay down again, drow his blanket over him, and closed his eyes, and appeared to sink in tranquil slumber. Mr. Hoyt, of Boston, who had been sitting quietly all day at the side of Mr. Botts, arose amid groat sensation, and addreesed the Court as follows:— May rr pixase THE Covrt—TI would add my voice to the appeal of Mr. Brown, although I have had no consul- tation with him, that the further hearing of the case be postponed until morning.

Dear Friend—i had this plea- 1 ‘not Knowing your proper directions, T fire on the 8 fnst., but'not Knowing your proper directions, { you. Ihave great many things to inform ou. T have @ £1 78 South emancipated them, and now enjoys the quiet and pros- perity consequent upon her justice. Virginia rotains her slaves, and consequently is subjected to annoyance. Thns, cause and effect are always connected. Imake these remarks to show the certainty with which every effect may be traced to its appropriate cause, al- though unthinking men seldom trace events to their re- mote origin. This event may be as clearly traced to the exciting cause as any other event of the presont age. If we ascertain the cause, we cannot fail to see clearly the remedy. In order properly to trace out the more remotes. as well as the proximate causes of this lamentable oocur-+ rence, it seems necessary to allude to some historic fact and to some important immutable principles. Virginia held slaves while a colony. From the landing of the Dutch ship in 1620, with bor small cargo of bumap chattels, up to this day, the Qld Dominios has cherished the peculiar institution. All the other cole nics held slaves until after the close of the Revolution At the formation of the federal government a new a0 trine was adopted. The Declaration of Independence the bond of the Union, and by that it was agreed that? new government should be free, each State holding slavery subject to the will of its own people, without-r rence to the federal organization. At the adoption of constitution the States each retained this entire and ¢ preme power over the institution within its own terr) having the right to abolish it at pleasure, and to ¢ crate its soil and its institutions tofreedom. Ido & tend to argue this point. I merely lay them down controvertible principles. I therefore assert the State may at B mesa establish liberty within ite and that no ether power has any right to interfere Pennsylvania has the undonbted right to be fre . Virginia has the power and privilege to main’ slavery. anathey proposition I lay down as incontroy that every attempt of the federal government t the people of Pennsylvania, or other free States pense, the crime, or disgrace of slavery, cov over-stepping af its legitimate, its constitution Tn saying this I am certainly awage that Virg' the slaye States deny this proposition, and 7 though we had the right to abolish slavery , we are nevertheless bound to aid ther Virginia.
