Are people to blame for what is unavoid
able? That is a question 1 should be re
markably happy to nave solved to my own
satisfaction and the satisfaction of others.
Once, I bad no doubt on the subject; but
now, judging from what has happened to
me in trie last lew days, 1 must eontess my
opinion is somewhat shaken.
It was entirely foreign from my intention
to create a sensation, or enact a deception,
when I packed uiy carpct-bag, last week,
and donned my best kuit, preparatory to
setting rorin on a visit to my auut JNabby
lilecker. . . .
Aunt Juabby resides in tho north-east
corner ot Maine, in a. town which 1 shall
denominate Finevillo. .' ' " , . ,

have been strongly advised to enlist.
but 1 am totally uuht for the service., 7 The
smell 01 guupowder makes me taint, and I
never fired a gun but ouce in my life, and
then I was confined to my bed for a fort
night afterward. Not exactly from the ef
fects of the fright, but, because the con
founded fire arm resented .. niy awkward
handling, and , kicked me so severely that
my right eye was in niourninir for ninntlix.

I arrived at l'jneville rather )ate one Fri
day night, and as it was ten miles further
on to niy Aunt. jKabby' rustic cottage

Maine I put up at the Washington House,
a one-horse house iu the straggling village
of 1'ineville. : . .
I registered my name Pj Sheridan on

I got some supper, and retired, immedi

and splinting out,, of bod, I throw up uiy

and cried delightfully to her companions: i
'There! I've kissed him first!" ! .'
..J. mentally rejoiced that Matty Baker was
not present, and rejoiced that she should
never know anything about it. Mary is
red haired,"and folks pretend to say she has
a temper. I freed myself from my saluting
female and advanced to tho door. , '
My appeainnce was greeted by yells mid
shouts', and cheers pertietlydeal'emng. Men
women and children, to the number of sev
eral score, were congregated in front of the
hotel) Waving their hats and handkerchiefs,
and hurrahing. ' ; ;
. .' "There he. comes! .that's hi m l Three
times thiee for tho, conquering Sheridan!"
"I'm obliged to you, ladies, and getitlej
men greatly obliged to you," said I, mod

frantically about, and swinging their hand
kerchiefs more, lustily. Audi, not wishing
to be behindhand in the enthusiasm, pulled
out my handkerchief and swung it, crying
at the top of mj lungs,

"What do you think of the negro race?"

"I think they smell stronger than the

in earnest conversation with a hnll'dozrn

The prospect of being ki?sed ly some rtf

I felt delicious over it; but those vinegar

deal. But I ain naturally a gallant ni:uir
and reflecting that I could wash my face
abundant ly 1 consented. - ' ' '
''Come one, come all!" said I. : ' ; ;:
They obeyed. They flung their arms
around my neck, and surrounded me on
every hand. I felt like a pickled sardine.
I smelt musk, onions, natchoulv. snnff.
jwkey, club, hard cider, cologne, doughnuts
boiled mutton, cinnamon, mustard-seed,
enruamon-rmas, ana every other odor under
the sun. Kiting is a grand invention, but
there is some cltoice in it, I think.
I At last they had nil kissed me but one,
and she was standing a little apart making
prcpsrations. . I noticed her with a mighty
trembling. She was a.ugly as on ogre, and
the'look of dogged determination on her
wizzened face convinced uie that I need
hope nothing from her mercy. . ,
"I never could taste anuhincr with mv
teeth in!" she exclaimed in an undertone.
and instantly out came a full set of teeth,
and f,he rushed toward me. I grew giddy
with the prospect, and turning ,1 'fled before
her, like the billows before the hurricane.
I had no thought for thc.fi?ure I cut; my
only obiect was to tret out of her reni.li.-A-

Baltimohe, Md. July 1st, 18C5.
I thank you, gentlemen, for honoring
me with an invitation to participate with the
"Democracy of the city of Harrisburg and
its vicinity, in tneir eeieiiration 01 the ' atj
niversary of our national indenendeiice."
Most willingly would I avail myself of it, if
it were in my powir, but it is not. iNow,
that the rebellion is over, and the authority
of the General Government reinstated
throughout the entire country, and subtuist
sion conceded to it by all who were, but a
few weeks since, ' in arms, seeking its de
s ractioi), tlw return of our nation's an
niversary should, if possible, bo even the
more enthusiastically welcomed than ever!
And now, too,, does it seem to mo to be a
most especial duty to recognize 'the prine.i
pieaon whiuh our. institutions, State and
National, rest, and to: which we wore in
debted for the prosperity and happiness
which, until the breaking out ot the rebel
lion, illustrated our history. Preserve these
from future abuse or disregard.' tioethat
the States and tho United States move only
in their several orbits, and wo will at once
resume oor progress and aitain a prosperity
and happiness even greater than we have
ever enjoyed. And to render fhisresultthe
more certain, wo should not forget that the
recent quarrel between 'tectums, was but a
family one, and remember that it is not only
the true policy, but the clearest duty, to for
give, without delay, and to forget its occur
rence as soon as we can. --.?--
By pursuing such a course,' we' will: 'not
only gratify our own enlightened conscience,
but receivo what-is ever to be dOsired the
approval of the Christian world. They will
then see that whilst in war, no people ever
exhibited more daring gallantry and consum
mate skill, the war over, .never have any
exhibited greatey magnanimity, or a more

So It Is 'Ralkr Amusing-"
' , To hear persons spenk ef what the Pluto
cratic party is going to d this campaign.
That the Democratic party is going to hold
a Cionvcntion at (Jolumb, iii August, and
is going to make a WHITE Platform for
WIU'lE men, and noninate - W11ITK
nan to sand upon the WHITE platform.
So our neighbor of the ?Wu?ie expresses
it.
This Democratic pailymnst be a wonder
ful institution. It has withstood tho char
ges of "copperhead," "tutternut," ftrai
tor," "rebel sympathizer" and others pf a
like character, furiously made against it.
with the hope and expedition that it would
disorganise. But it has outlived all these,
and stands tried and purified. . These hav
ing signally failed, and their amWs hand
ed over to that class known as malicious cal
umniators, and those who now reneat them.
being regarded as empty headed, imbecile
pruttlers,"the Democratic Party is confront
ed with another charge. ;
It is a W H 1TE party and ih going to make
a WHITE platform for WHITE men, and
noniinatj WHITE men tD Btand upon that
TIT f 1 TfHV, 1 . , -
tv tiLir, piatiorm. 1
We ta'te issue with an emnhatieallv denv
the f'al.-o charges aga;n the Democratic
party, but as to this cdarte we plead guilty.
lhe opponents of the Democratic party have
tried misrepresentation and wicked and ma
licious falsehood against )t. without effect.
and they have bceh practicing concealment
as'o their 'ultimate purpose arid object.
iney thine tnis the time to throw ott the
mask and present the real issue. They -
vow themselves tn favor of IV EURO SUF
FllAGK AND Is EG BO EQUALITY, and
they charge that the Dcuinciamarc WHITE
men and in favor of a WHITE platform,
and nominating WHITE men for office. '
- This is tile issuo in Ohio, The Bcpubli
can or Union party has taken its position.
The Demoetatie party is yet to take its po
sition. -What the "aristocrat ij whites" will
do when they meet iu Convention .at Col
umbns, we have no means. ot knowing, but
we feel safe in the prediction that their plat
form will look to the interests of the white
men in this Stale, and that they will nomi
nate white men as candidates, and that they
will make the issue emphatic and without
equivocation on the right of mtffrnye, mid
equality af the vegro, in OSio and elsewhere
And we would suggest that this conven
tion to be held, after expressing an opinion
as to the true position and condition of the
negro, go further, and not stoo with this, as
did the late Union convention. Let: the
white people understand from it what poli
cy will cnntrolo in their interests, should the
Democratic party -be successful at the ap
proaching election. Se.iHxa Aikcrt'user. j

, HISTORY OF
OLD JOHN BROWN.
.' BT PRESIDENT JOHK80M.
,': We copy below part of a speech deliver
ed by President Johnson, in the Senate of
the United States, December 12th, 1859. It
is a' fair and truthful history of the most
important period in the history of Brown,
who was one of the hief founders of tho
Republican party, tffe inaugurator of its
policy. Mr. Jobtison was speaking in reply
to senator uoolittio, who had oncred, in
the Senate, an apology tor Brown, by de
claring that his sons had been murdered in
Kansas, and that he acted in revenge for
the wrongs he had Suffered. In answer to
this excuse, Senator Johnson, the present
President of the United States, made the
following speech:
" "It seems that we have some new : bom
Christians, who are making John Bkown
their leader, who are trying to canonize
him and make him a great apostle and mar
tyr. Were these the elements of a Chris
tian and Christian martyr? How do the
facts stand in this case? hen was old
man Brown's son killed, and when did he
commit these atrocities? Ever; admitting
the truth of the statement of the Senator
from Wisconsin, they are not justifiable,
but when we show, that the facts are differ
ent, they 1 are less so. ," , Tbe circumstances
are stated in the evidence of - Mr. Harris,
which will be found in a report made ty a
committee of Congress, and republished in
the lli-rald of Freedom of Kansas a paper
that has at its head for President the name
of a Republican, Mr. Chase, of Ohio, and
Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts, lor Vice
President: ;. : ' ,
"The circumstances attending Wni. Sher
man's death are testified to by James Har
ris, uf Franklin county, Kansas.' .Mr. Sher
man was staying over night at the House of
Harris,. when, ontueiMih ot May at about
two o'clock, Captain John Brown and party
came there and after taking some property,
and questioning Harris and others, Sher
ninn tvas asktd to walk out. Mr. , Harris,
in his affidavit says: 'Old man Brown-asked
Mr. Sherman to go out with him, and Sher
man then went out with. Brown. 1 heard
nothing more, for about fifteen minutes.
Two of the 'Northern army,' as they sityied
themselves, stayed with us until they heard
a cap burst, and thcn these two men left.
Ncxtjuoining, about, "ton o'clock, I found
William Sherman dead, in the creek near
my house. I was looking for him; as he
had not conic back I thought, he had been
murdered. I .took Mr. W m. Sherman (body)
out of the creek and examined jt, . Mrs.
Whiteniati was with u.e. Sherman's skull
was split f,Pl'n tw( phicea, and some of
his1 brains were washed out by the water; a
large hole was cut in his breast, and his- left
hand, was cut olf except a little piece of skin
on one side."
This was the IMih of May. I will 'read
from the same papei another extract: ' '
"When the news of the threatened siege
of Lawrence reached John Brown, Jr., who
was a .member of the Topeka Legislature,
he organized a company of about sixty men
and marched toward Lawrence. Arriving
at Palmyra, he learned of the sacking of the
town, and the position of the people. He
11 comioitcred lor a time in the vicinity, but
finally marched back toward Ossawatoniie.
Tho night before reaching that place, when
only a few miles away, they camped for the
nig lit, O'd Juhn Brown, who. we believe,
was with the party, tingled out, with him
self, seven men. These he marched to a
point eight miles above Pottawatomie creek
and called. from their beds, at their several
residences at the hour of midnight, on the
241 hof May, Allen Wilkinson, William
Sherman, WJliam P. Doyle, William Doyle
and Drury Doyle. All were found the next
morning by the roadside, or iu the highway
some with a gash in their heads. and tide,
and their throats cut; others with their
skulls split open in two places, with boles in
their bieasts, and hands cutoff. " ,, .
,, He seems to havo a great passion for cut
ting off bands, . .
"No man in Kansas has pretended to de
ny that old John Brown led that murderous
foray which liiassacrecd those men, Up to
that period not one hair of old John Brown's
head, or that Of his sous, had been injured
by the pro-slavery party. . , ; ,
"It was not until tho 30th of August,
three months after the Pottawatomie massa-
co. that the attack was made on OssawatOT
tine by the pro-slavery forcos, and Frederick:
Brown, a sou of old John Brown, was kill''
Cd. ' " -. ! . . :
,VTo show all the facts in '.regard: to' tho
n ajsare of the 24th of, May, I will read to
the Senate the affidavits of some of the eye
witnesses of the transaction. Allen Wil
kinson was a mender of the Kansas Legis
lature a quiet, inoffensive fnan. His wid
ow, I ou.-iii Jane Wilkinson, testified that on
the .night. of the 24th of May, 1856, between
the hours of midnight and daybreak, she
thinks a party of men came to the house
where' they were residing, and forcibly car
ried. her husband away;, that they took him
in the name of the 'northern army,' and
the next morning he was .found, about one
hundred and titty yards' from the house,
dead. Mrs. Wilkinson was very ill at the
time, of measfcV '"She tap further:
' "1 begged them to let' Mr. Wilkinson
stay with me, saying that I : was sick and
helpless, and could not slay by myself, My
husband also ai-ked them to let him stay
with mo, until he could get tome one to wait
on me; told them that he would not run off,
but be would be there the next day, erwhen

but '.hey are not here, and I cannot go for
them.' The old man replied 'it matters not,'
and told him to get ready. . Mv husband
wanted to put on his boots, and get ready,
so as to be protected from the dump air but
they would not let him. They then took

"Three months after Wis. Doyle and his
two sons were murdered, three months af
ter Sherman was murdered, "liis skull cut
open in two places, and the stream had
washed the blood out of his cranium -three
months after that, John Brown's son was
killed at Ussawatonue. Iheti, what bo
comes of this excuse? Why this aooWv
for a man like this? Three months after
he had committed this fiendish act, his son
lost his life at the battle of Ossawatoniie
It was on that night about ' 1 1 o'clock, as
testified by Mrs. Doyle, as testified by her
son, as testified by Mr. Ilarriss these men,
innocent, unoffending uien were taken out,
and in the midnight hour, and in the for
rest, and on the roadside fell victims to the
insatiate thirst of John Brown for blood.
Then it was that those murders were com
mitted, that hell amtored his heflrt, not tho
iron his soul. Then it was, if not before,
that he changed his character to a demon
who had lost all the virtues of a man. Aud
you talk about sympathy for John Brown!
, "John Brown stands bclbre the country
a murderer! . The enormity, the extraordi
nary ferociousness of the father set the son
mad. The blood of these murdered men
not unlike that of a sacrificed Able cried
even from the touugless caverns of the earth
for pity, and to Heaven for justice; but his
iron heart, not soul, refused to yield; but
Heaven, in the process of titnc, lias meted
out justice to him on the gallows. Justice
divine to punish sin moves slow the slower
its pace, the surer its blow. It will over
take us if living it will overtake us. if
dead. Justice has overtaken his victim,
and he has gone to eternity with crimsoned
hands, with blood upon hi head. . . t
"But the Senator talks about the school
in which John Browu was taught. Why,
sir, John Brown, according to his own con
fession, hud entertained these ideas for twen
ty years. John Brown did not go to Kan
sas to go to school. , He . went there as a
teacher on the 24th of May. . At the mid
hour of night, from the wife aad tho mother
he dragged thef husband and two sons, and
imbrued liis'bands in their blood. ; Those
weie the dorjtruiea (hat. he, weut.Ithere- to
teach. . , Ijtt. did not go there to be taught;
but he went "there as .teacher. These
were his 'teaching's. Imagine tha cries and
lamentations on t.be one hand, and the
shrieks of the dying and mutilated on the
other. J think sometimes that 1 hear
shrieks, sO loud, so wild, to clear, that even
listening anecls stooo from heaven to hear.
This is the man fori whom an apology is
offered. I did tho Senator the justice to
say that he disclaimed all sympathy with
tsrown, ami yet 1 read what n tact, was an
apology. W hat furthermore did the Sen
ator say? We have shown, ind the fact is
not controverted, that he murdered five
hundred human beings on May 24th. Thoy
lave .shown, in trying to answer this, that
his son did not receive this ill-treatment
from Captain Pate until the last day of May.
We have showa that his other son was not
killed until August 30th. Let us remember
these facts, and pome to the old man as be
ing a thief and a murderer, I want all these
modern fa unties who havo adopted John
Brown and his gallows as their, Christ and
his cross, to who their Christ is. The Sen
ator says again: - , , , , 1
"I regret that gentlemen, in speaking of
this man Brown, should be pleased to speak
of him as a robber, or a thief, or a vaga
bond, in the ordinary sense of the term.
Sir, it is the essence of robbery and theft,,
that the robber or thief who robs and steals
should net from the desire of gain. Cer-.
tainly no uch charge can be made against
this man, as that he was actuated with the
lust of gain. He acted from far different
motives. He sought to give liberty to the
enslaved, and lay down his life for that pur-'
post; freely and bravely did ho do it." -,
. .. "That is, you may steal and commit theft
if you do it to aid in the cause of the aboli
tioji of slavery. Have wo n"' r,root that
this is to? What does Mrs. Wilkinawi say
iii Lor airidavit? When John Brown and
his comrades were there on tho 24th, when
they took Wilkinson out and murdered him.
just before they left they took his property
ana 11 is oiuy nurse. j, suppose tliey needed
the horse to aid in the emancipation of
slaves! Horse stealing is carried on to a
great extent sometimes in a frontier country.
Mrs, l)oyle states thut they inquired where
their horse was, and were told it was out
on the prairie. What took place at Har
per's lorry? They took Col. Washington's
silver and his watch. What does ho he ad
mit in his own confession? . That he, daring
tho last winter, had stolen, had kidnapped,
and run off eleven slaves from the State of
i .- T." - ir, . .. ,
Missouri iu iiuiisus, jnat is not stealing,
though; I suppose that is not theft, this is
not robbery, and we ought not to talk about
this old man as stealing in the common an.
ceptation of tho tejm? What is it, I ask
the country, I atk tho Senate, if it ia. not
stealing,. robbery, highway robbery? And
yet these things are thrown out, : perhaps
not intended, but they do operate as an
apology and exousein the minds of many,
ior me iniumy, me muroers, tne thieving,
the treacherous conduct of this old man
brown, who was nothing more than mnr.
derer, t. jobber,, thiel' and traitor. ,.?
"I think. Mr.. President , that so fur
John Brown concerned, the facts which 1
have pietcutcd ptand unoontroverted. ; The
Senator has failed to touch them. H has
not removed them, but has added strength
pnd ft Iditional pi oof to what I said in refer
ence to them. It was not, my intention to
consume this length of. time, and I should
not have said a single word on tho subject if
the resolutions, could have been adopted
without discussion and especially, to if a
rcfrrencfc had not been made to John Brown
not being being a murderer and a thief,: in
