RELIEF FOR THE FAMILY OF OLD BROWN. Bostoy, Noy. 19, 1859, ‘Tho meeting at the Tremont Temple this evening in be- Balf of the family of John Brown was fully attended. About two thousand persons wero present, and the net Profits will doubtless give several hundred dollarato the beneficiaries. A large number of ladies were present. ‘The assemblage was called to order about half-past geven o’clock by Hon. John A. Andrew. He was accom- panied by the Rev. J. M. Manning, of the Old South eharch; Rov. Dr. Neal, of the Somerset stroct Baptist e@hureb, and Wendell Phillips. They were received with hearty applause. The Divine blessing was invoked by Dr. Neal, who also offered up prayer for the family of Brown. Mr. Emerson then made his appearance on the plat- $form, and tbe applause was of the hearticat kind. Mr. Andrew stated that be was present merely as a presiding officer, and would make but a few remarks, ‘and would then announce the speakers. He reforred to ‘tho letter of John Brown to Lydia Maria Child, and read that portion of it suggesting the neod of aid to the writer's family. John Brown, he remarked, bad fallen for an fea, Whether his course was wrong or not, Brown him- solf was right. The speaker cympathized with that idea, and all who did should see to it that the family of that honest man should not suffer by the loss of their natural ‘Protectors. A letter from Rey. C. H. Hefforuth was read, declining ‘to be present, as had been announced in the papers. His Jeter was hiseod. He stated that he had understood both ides of the question were to be discussed. However, Mr. Andrew said, it was hardly likely that any one present ‘thought there wero two sides to tho question as to whether John’s Brown’s family shovld be leftto starve. Mr. An- @row mado some farthor remarks relative to the position ef John Brown and his family and the eternal and Heaven evstained nature of the “irrepressible conflict.” After ‘stating that lithographic copies of Brown’s letters to Mrs. Bild had been printed and were for sale at tho door at ‘ten cents, he introduced tho Rov. Mr. Manning. Mr, Mavning thought it was rather diflicult to speak of the subject on hand to-night without expressing an opinion regarding the affair at Harper's Ferry. He should never have advieed Brown to do what the bad done. Fillbustera went to Southern lands to rescue ‘men from Spanish tyranny, und were not’ molested. But Brown had interfered with home tyrauny and must die. ‘Brown was not insinc. @ Higher Power. He was the finger of God writing upon ‘the wall of Belshazzar's palace the doom of tyrants, Mr Muoning took his hearcrs back to the day of the Boston ‘Massacre, when Crispus attacks the colored man fought ‘am defence of the liberty of white men. No patriot would have advised his attack on the British soldiery. But tho @itiens of Boston followed his remains to the grave in dong procession, and year after year celebrated the anni- vorsary of that maseacre. The last public addres Joseph Warren mace before he fell at Bunker Hill was on wach an occasion—an address made in the very face of British bayonets, and defying intimidation. After Banker Hill that celebration was changed to the Fourth of July. Daniel Webster staid that from the day of ‘the Boston massacre was dated the disruption of the Bri- tish empirc. So might it be with the death of John Brown. Should, half a century hence, its result be the freedom of ‘the whole land, no man would find fault with the battle of Harper’s Forry—whon some other Daniel Webster, at @safo distance, might say that from the moment when John Brown swung betweon heaven and earth, might be dated the beginning of the ond of American slavery. Mr. Manning drow other parallel, The governinent jour anals of 1770 charged tho troublo on the ministers stirring ‘up the people. Tho patriots said that it was caused by Rerading British regiments in Boston. So doce the slave Power parade before Northern coyscience the revolting wickedness of slavery. The speaker then counselled, a: gomo length, the cheriating of love for the slaveholder while we hated slavery. Faithfulness linked with Io and firm adherence to duty was tho rightful path, re. memboring that the roots of slavery wore in Northern eoil as well as Southern. Ralph Waldo Emerson was next introduced. Mr. An- atrow, in introducing Mr. Emerson, said that we had just heard from the old South church, with its holy memories of patriots, and we would torn noxt to the battle ground of Concord. He quoted a yorge of Mr. Emerson’s poetry, and tho whole introduction was unasnally felicitious, Mr. Emeréon spoke substantially as follows:—In rofy- ence to tho cause which has bronght us together, the gentleman who proceded mp has well said that between we, whatever our tis 4h Views, no wall of separation He was the sword in the hand of | Jmundred and twenty in the Mayflower. I say the sixth, ‘aud a!) the six were farmers, His grandfather, of Syms, very, Conn., was a captain in Revolutionary bietory. His tractor for the supply of beef to the army in cightesn con'd here exiet, That commanding event, the sequel to whic’ has brought us together to might, eclipses all others ‘which b:ve coourred for along time in our history. Tam interest in the bero of Har- father was largely interested in cattle, and became @ eop- bundred and twelve. Our Captain Brown, then @ boy, with hie father, was present as a witness at the surrender of Hull. Captain Brown cherished always a vory high ‘Ho believesin the ist and a strict constructionist for you. union of American States, and he conceives that the only enemy of the Union is slavery, and:for this reason, as a patriot he seeks its abolition. Governor Wise has pro- nounced his eulogy in a manner that does discredit to the moderation of our own timid partisans. Captain Brown’s speeches to the Court have interested a nation in him. ‘What detiessness and plainness! Ifvhe had interfered in ‘vehalf of tho great or the wealthy , or the wise, hegaid, no ene would bave blamed him; but he believed that when che interfered in behalf of a poor and depised people he was doing right. Whata favorite will he be in history, which plays such pranks with mere temporary reputa- tions. Nothing can resist y. If he suffers death, it is plain that be will drag certain official gentlemen into an immortabty most undesirable, and of which they have already come disagreeable forebodings. Indeed it is the resolution of the Governor of Virginia to hang the man whom he says poseceecs the greatest integrity, truthful- ness and courage that he ever met. ds that the kind of men for whom the gallows are built? No man daro be- lieve that there exists in Virginia another man as worthy to live, as deserving of public and private honors, as this poor prisoner. But wo are here to thimk of the relief of the family of John Brown. To my eyes, the family looks very large and in need of relief. It comprises his brave fellow suflerere in the jail, the poor fugitives who are hunted till in the mountains of Virginia an’ Pennsyl- vania, all the sympathizers in every Stato, and every man who loves the golden rule and the Declaration of Indopendence like him, and who fees the tiger instinct that threatens himself in the malignant public sentiment that existe at the South. I said, just now, that John Brown ia an idealist, but he believes in his’ ideas to such an ex- tent that he labored to put them all into action. He did not believe in moral snasion, but in putting things through. ‘We in Massachusetts faucy we aro free, bat it seems that woare somewhat mistaken. We have great population, great wealth, great talent--and yet life and frecdom are not safe, because the judges rély on the forms of law, and do not, like John Brown, use the! eyes to see the sail be- fore the storm. They affum@ hat tbe United States can protect the prisoner and his witness, The State Judges fear a collision between two belligerents, ml cannot find Jaw enough to maintain the eovercignty of thans. At a pinch they are of no more use than idiots, At" ® thing bas been done they may wring their hands at thé reeult, but they had better never been born. A Vermont Judge knows the tawe protect with their whole power the citizen, and is worth a whole court house full of lawyers 80 idolatrous of forme as to let go the substance. Is any man in Massachusetts so simple as to believe that when a United States Court in Virginia, in these times of excite- ment, sends into the North for a witness that it wants him to slaughter and eat? Your habeas corpus may be a nuleance by taking away the right reliance of a citizen and substituting therefor a form. 1 hope, then, that in addi- don to our relief to the family of John Brown, we shall endeavor to relieve al! those in whose behalf he suffore and all those who are in sympathy with him, and not for- get to aid him, also, in the best way by securing freedom and independence in Massachusetts itself. Mr. Emergon spoke about twenty-three or four minutes. Mr. Andrew then said that Mr. Fmerson had aot come empty handed, but bad brought with him from Concord a contribution of fifty dollars. A Finance Committee was appointed to solicit further subscriptions, The Chairman next introduced Wendell Phillips, who made the closing address. The meeting throughout was enthusiastic and the speakers were frequently and loudly applauded. OUR RICHMOND CORRESPONDENCE. Ricumonp, Va., Noy. 17, 1859. New Project of the Abolitionists to Free Old Brown—Lead- ing Men of Virginia to be Spirited Of as Hostages— Brown to be Releasod or the Hostages Hung—They Showld “+ Bag’’ Governor Wise— Where heis to be Found and how Nabbed—Efforts to get him to Address the Poople~The Prevailing Sentiment in Virginia on the Existing Crisis— Strong Faith in the Conservatism of Pennaylvania—The Election of @ Black Republican President—The End of the Union, dc, ‘The most plausible plan yet devised for the release of “Old Brown” has been recently developed through somo agency at the North favorable to the pro-slavery cause. Thepilan is, to make @ descent upon some of the border regions of Virginia, and spirit off some of her leading citizens, who should be held as hostages to await the same fate as Brown. 1 understand that the whole plan has been revealed to the authorities here, and the pre- sumption is that some points on the Rastern Shore, acces- sible by steamer, may be chosen as the most available for a successful consummation of this daring purpose. With this view there would be little difficulty in charter- ing a steamer in Baltimore or Philadelphia; and as to the fact of seizing and carrying off the hostages, nothing is more practicable. No military guard could be organized upon a footing of efliciency sufficient to guarantec the safety of every private individual along the borders of Virginia against such a descent as this plan is said to contemplate. There is very littiq, difficulty in accomplishing it, but the sequel Would be disastrous, Virgiia would undoubtedly retaliate and pursue this system of reprisal to the point of civil war. And yet with such a consequence distinctly in view, this plan is seriously cohtemplated. The informa- tion of its origin and detail is so complete and authentic as to leave but litde doubt on this head. There is a prevail- ing conviction here, founded upon some recent devolop- ments, that Seward und his followers do really contem- plate disunion, and that having brought the Southern mind to the eulwinuting point, they are determined to press the wititaeum, If they are bent upon securipg hostages as a means of : ‘Old Brown,’ I know of no better means of ef- ut purpose than by “bagging”? Governor Wise. ‘Tho task is not a cifficultone. He ean al be found at, the executive mansion in thie city, except during his office houre, from eight or nine o'clock in the morning until three in the afternoon. A steamer of light draught could run np to our wharf at any stage of tide, and from t scutive mansion to that point there are @ gerics of , es by which he could be led captive without v f detection. The York River Railroad opens. vp another fine avenue sech a purpose. He be carried without much difllouity nearly tho distiuce to West Point by. this road, and theneo by stoge to the point of embarkation on York river. ‘The seeinded character of the ronte presents the very best. opportun cotrapli ‘h a purpose; on board a steamer at West Point, the capture and ¢ deemed complete and the Governor might be a fair Way to entoriain any suggostions that red in regard to Beown’s pardon.

But he possesses a degrep.of. and prudence equal to the emergency. ‘The conservative few who stili hope for a Berpemmiy of the Union express strong faith that Pennsylvania ‘be on the side of union and peace in the coming Presidential con- test. The readiness with which she surrendered, upon the requirition of Gov. Wise, the prisouers arrested within her territory, has revived the strangest hope in her future fidelity to the constitution and the Union. Ricuxonp, Va , Nov. 17, 1859. Thave just procured the enclosed slip. ‘This city is ina state of the greatest excitement, All the volunteer com- panies are out and under arms, ready to start for Charles- town by the next train:— ALARMING INTELLIGENCE. Tho following is the substance of the despatch and let- ters received by the Executive, which will be found inte- resting at this particular time. Col. Davis in Charlestown tel 8 to Mir. Barbour at Harper’s to the of Alexandria to cailapt ‘Marg, or tbe Mount Vernon Guards to this Mr. Barbour adds to the Mayor of Al that the message to him reported 250 armed men at Barryville Ford. This was all Mr. Barbour knew of the cage. Capt, Marge tele; that he would leave Alexandria with his company ing. (ol. Stewart and Major both telegraphed the Go- requesting orders to take two companies and the ry. ‘The Siete bas given the orders to méve immediately ‘pon the Berryville Ford, unless information guided thom er wise. Col. Davis telegraphs to Governor Wise to order out thé cavalry, which has done. Col. Davis says ‘‘thore is a guerrilla war here; the, roperty of five of the best cil zens has been burov.” Upon this the Governor has or- dered the Ist Regiment (Richmond) to be in readiness, awaiting orders. ‘This alarm confirms anonymous communications re- ceived by the Executive in the last two days, warning him of the intended raids in different squads along the borderg of Virginia and Kentucky. He ts aleo warned of an abo- lition scheme which may be in concoction to_kidnap and epirit away prominent citizens or members of their fami- 4ies, and to Keep them as hostages for the pardon of the culprits. ‘And be is warned to keep himself and his friends on their guara, and that it is prudent for Virginia, in concert with Maryland, to augment forces near Charlestown and Harper's Ferry, as the days of the execution approach; and that tbe abolitionists are certainly tampering with and exciting the free negroes at various points in the North to some desperate attempt. In view of everything surrounding the State and its bor- der, it will be necessary for the people not to flock in crowds to the scene of the executions, The times when they occur will be the very times when the homesteads on the border will be most threatened with torches. Let those not under arms at the executions band together as guards of the border. It is very apparent uow, that a considerable force will be absolutely necessary in ‘all the region of Loudon, Clarke, Jefferson, and Berkely counties, There will be full military force ‘at the executions: but every citizen not in the ranks, one with another, ought to be arming and organizing as patrols and guards, and as yolupteer videttes, ee VIRGINIA ARMING FOR CIVIL WAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BERALD. LyxcnnurG, Va., Nov. 16, 1859. I wish todo my mite in averting the imminent peril which threatens our country. No better means of doing this presents iteelf to me at this time than giving informa- tion, through your immense circulation, of the state of public sentiment at the South, so far as I have been able to observe it. The indications of that sentiment are uno. quivocal to us at the South; but they are liable w casy misrepresentation. The North is evidently deceived as to the cauee of the excitement which prevails everywhere through the Southern States, It is generally supposed to be a mere panic, consequent upon the Harper’s Ferry émeuete. 1 tell you, Mr. Editor, this is notso. No doubt that outrage caused a panic in the immediate neighbor- hood; but beyond that the matter has been regarded with indignation, it is true, but with nothing like the alarm ‘which the Northern people suppose. Indeed, I have yet to see anything like alarm. By reference to the Southern pres, you will observe that our citizens are everywhere forming military companies and arming themselves, in proparation for the dangers which threaten us. But the dangers apprehended are not such as your people believe them to’be. They do not arise from our slave population. ‘The fear of insurrection hero disturbs no man, woman or child. The dangers we are preparing to meet come from a different gource. ‘The calmest and most patriotic of our citizons—thoze who love the Union most, and who have hithorto scouted every movement looking to a dissolution of our confede- racy—now openly and unhesitatingly express the opinion that the prospect of disunion is most imminent. The pub- lic mind is fast coming to the belief that the North and South can live together in harmony but a little while longer. ‘This is the peril for which our citizens are arm. ing themselves. They are preparing to meet it, and to maintain their rights in the worst exigency that may arise. Your readers may ask—Why all this stir at this particu. lar time? What is the cause of it, beyond the r's Ferry business? I will endeavor to explain the matter. ‘The orgunization of the black republican was for a specific purpoko, viz: To prevent the goner: vorn meut from carrying slavery into. the public Terfitories, par warly into Kansas. This party was essen: i necessarily a sectional party. Being once organized, though for @ tmporary purpose, the Northern people have determined to porpetuate it, and through tt to got possession of the genere! zovernment, wer, its honors and emoluments, Tho ro- tions at the North show this purpese most plainly Now, is it to be expected that the South will submit to srch’a stato of thugs? Can any sane man believe thit government can exist when it iS conducted by a purely Seotoral party—by a party whose leaders arc inimical to the greatest intoreet of the Southern States? Now the South may be all and the North all right in this matter, but that will make no difference im the result. ‘The South, whether right or wrong, belicves hereelf right, and will act upon that belief. Her poople will not consent to live in a Union and under a government controlled by their political enemies. Such a state of things would broed interminable discords, even if it wero established by ceneral consent. ‘The project is utterly impracticable, and othorwise. i“ a sad who believes e Courier and Enquirer of your city says that tho Voion will be perpetuated, if Deed be, through force, and endeavors to persuade {ts readers that the force heeeseary would be a small one, as is proved to its satis- faction by the result at Harpor’s Ferry, where a fow des- does threw a community of thousands into and nsternation.

The same may be said with regard to Dr. 8. G. Howe, whose letter “‘detining his position” bas already appeared in the Hxraw. The fact ig, the abolitienists of Massachusetts—the rich oner, und thoge getting food fat livings from the State, like Dr. Howe—are aware of the existence of certain United States Jaws which might render a persistence in treasonable or any other unlawful — decidedly disagreeable to themselves and their Hberty. _Henee, while spurring on the weak: minded and fanatical to deeds of desperation and lawlessners, they take good care to keep their own precious carcasses wi it the pale of danger or arrest. Sanborn was known to the Boston public previous to bis present notoriety, on account of his having delivered a poem before the Mercantile Library Asseciation in this city, we believe in 1858. He is one of the women in breeches pocts of Massachusetts ; but his effort on this occasion did no! warrant the Association in undergoing the expense of having it printed.
