WESTERN DEMOCEAT, CHARLOTTE, 1ST. C. )t g0ffttm 33?morrnt. CHARLOTTE, N. C. HOW THE CONDEMN IT h We copy the following extracts to show how Northern Democratic papers, which reflect thf sentiments of the northern Democracy, cofMejnh . Old Brown's Harper's Ferry outrage, and the princi ples upon which he hased his procedure, as we'll as his aiders and abettors. The New Hampshire Patriot, a democratic paper, pays: j Thf Mask ronuhlican naners continue to cA c n, Hroirn's. Ifarr.or FVrrv "Kansas work" olTra,,x,e' v l,J ret the ground that he is -'crazy." They say that he was made so by the murder of his son by the bor der ruffians in Kansas. But it is known that Brown was a thief, a robber and a murderer before his won was killed, and that he was supported and aided in his murdering and robbing in Kansas by thc black republicans of New England " The following is from the Providence Post, an other democratic paper: "The simple truth i, that Brown commenced li is career as a villain long before his son was kill ed, and that most of his villainous exploits pre ceded that event. No man in Kansas doubts or lias ever doubted that he is a murderer; and that lie is a horse thief might be proved, we think, with out seeking for witnesses now outside of the city of Providence. He was a notorious highway rob ber in almost the verv bejrinninc of the Kansas uimcumcs, aim never ieii unuer any cungauons o . i rr l." t n 1 , 11." confine his rascalities to that territory. He made frequent incursions into Missouri, and before the Missourians had done anything more than inter- : fere with Kansas elections, was known throughout ! his neighborhood as a robber and cut throat. It was in May, IS.'),"), if we mistake not, that he drag ged Allen Wilkinson, a very peaceable pro-slavery j man, from the sick bed of his wife, and murdered 1 him; and on the same night, we think, he murder ed Win. Sherman, James P. Povle, and a son of thc latter, who was a mere boy. It was long after j this that he made his electioneering speeches for the republican party in the Staies. Did the re- ! publicans get an insane man fo electioneer for them ? But, more than this, the murders charged ; against old Brown and his son were committed seven months before his other ion was killed. But we are not disappointed The same organs which applauded and honored this old illian after I he had stained his hands with the blood of Sher man, Wilkinson, and the Doyles, will of course find some excuse for his conduct at Harper's Ferry. We are thankful that we do not belong to a party which demands so much of its supporters." Here is an extract from the New York News, another democratic paper: u We record with pleasure, for thc credit of our State, that there is a spot where virtue and patriot- ! ism still survive. It is Staten Island. The other evening when that base traitor and endorser of assassins, Wendell Phillips, lectured there, he came near being mobbed. We are a warm friend to the freedom of speech, we would defend its right upon all just occasions, but every body must allow that there is some limit to it. When a man open lv teaches murder, assassination and wholesale slaughter, he places himself outside of the limit ! aiioweu to iree aiscussion. tie liecomes an enemy to society, and in any right-minded community he would not and ought not to be allowed to spread his depraved doctrines. Wendell Phillips is a bold, bad man, and it is a standing disgrace to Brooklyn that its citizens did not lynch him on the spot the other night when he stood up and de fended murderers and assassins. What are we 111 1 T 1 coming to, when people are allowed to teach that it is rigui to muraer : are me "menus or iree dom " going to claim the freedom to slaughter all who do not agree with them " "Wilmington & Wkldon Railroad. The Stockholders of the Wilmington and Weldon Kail road Company held their annual meeting in Wil mington week before last. A resolution was passed pledging the company for a subscription of $.0,U00 to a proposed line of steamers between Wilmington and New York, provided the Wiimington & Man chester Company will take a similar amount of stock. The old Directors, both on the part of the stockholders and the State, were re-appointed, and the President was re-elected. The Board declared a dividend of 4 per cent for the past six mouths, making with a similar dividend previously declared, a dividend of 8 per cent, for the year. The following figures in round numbers exhibit the business of the road: Gross receipts for the vear ending Sept. 30th, 1S9, ' ?477.00O Operating expenses for same time, 242,300 Increase of ree'ts over preceding year, 80,500 Pecrease of operating expenses, 6,500 Increase of net Revenue, ,:57.'00 After paying this dividend and making the due ! appropriation to the sinking fund, there will remain surplus of 9 18,000, at the disposal of the Com- : pany. The bonded and floating debt of the Com- i pany has been reduced to $127,000 within a year. ' There were carried over the Road this year 27,- I 064 through passengers, and 68,498 way passen- ' gcrs, which is a decrease of 740 through, and an increase of 0,189 way passengers, as compared with the previous year. ' Kansas Wokk" informed, some days at the South We were a gentleman whoso statements are entitled to credit, that seventeen gin houses, with their contents, have been destroyed in the course of the last two weeks, in the eountv of Talbot, Georgia, alone. The number repels ail idea of cccideut, ami especially when we recollect that incendiarism was one of the plans of "old Brown," and that particular region was spcciallv designated on his map. A further statement gives confirmation to this conclusion. A letter reached Milledgt ville. a few days ago, announcing the belief that a squad of Brown's emissaries were concealed in the neighborhood of Pino Mountain, in Meriwether County, and that an Kxpress had been sent to Talbotton for a force to scour that region and capture the miscreants, if possible. iSu va mnaA Rep ttbtican . m mm Spiritual Man ifcstaliuns Extraordinary.

Accordingly, the young ladies sat a table, and placing upon it substantial articles of food, left three plates empty for the expected husbands, and sat down themselves at the remaining three, anxiously awaiting thc hour of twelve.

Close of the Trials-Sentence of Cook, Coppie, Copeland and Green. Charlkstown, Xov. 11. The proceedings of thc Circuit Court for Jefferson county were brought to a close alter a session oi inree rnxu, wmeu was not knowing at tne time wnat woum ue cue ueiu oi . lougings oi jits o oecupied exclusively in the trial of the Harper's their operations. After some time had elapsed, landlady, who had Ferrv conspirators, i he term will long be remem- bered as the most interesting ever held here, five men hain; been tried and found guiltv of the highest crimes known to our laws. The convicts, Cook, Coppie, Copeland and Green were brought out to receive the sentence of Judge Parker. The court room was crowded, and the nother view oi the prisoners was rreat They were brought into court by the dep- utios and placed in the bar, in a range of chairs facing the Judge. .Near Cook was seated HOT. Willard and Mr Crowley, both of whom seemed bending beneath thc weight of sorrow this affair has cast ever them and their families. Remark of the Prisoner. Thc prisoners were then din 'ted to stand up "and asked if they had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon then. Cook and Coppie then proceeded to ; I deliver skort addresses, the former being somewhat vehemen: in his manner of speaking, whilst the latter made a firm impression by his great and col- i h etive style of delivery. Both protested their ig- i liorance of the attack on Harper's Ferry, until the Sabbath before the night of the attack, when they j were called on to swear to obey the orders of their j commander Brown. Coppie stated that he knew k.. t.i A tw punished tor his foolhardy attempt, ''uui'i lv hj A , - jt shoa,d have bcon iKnter than had been adjudged. The negroes declined saying anythin Sentence of the Prisoner?. Judge Parker then proceeded to deliver the sentence on the prisoners, which was received by thein with great firmness. The sentence was that John E. Cook, Kdwin Cop pic, Shields Green and John Copeland: Your tri als, on which we have been so long employed, have at length ended, and all that remains to be done to complete these judicial proceedings, is to pronounce and record the judgments which by law must fol low upon the crimes for which you have been tried, and of which you have been found guilty. These crimes have all grown out of a mad inroad upon this State, made with the predetermined pur pose to raise in our midst the standard of a servile insurrection. In the execution of this purpose, in the darkness of a Sabbath night, you seized upon a portion of our territory, captured several of our best citizens holding them as hostages of war un til your part' was itself overcome by force armed such of our slaves as you could seize upon with deadly weapons, which they were to use against their owners, whom you denounced to them as their oppressors; and, in your efforts to push your bold and unholy scheme through to a successful issue, vou have taken human life in no fewer than five instances. The evidence most abundantly proved that all these things had been done, and by the force of that evidence jury after jury has felt itself compelled to bring in its verdict of guilty against each one of you. Happily for the peace of our whole land, you ob tained no support from that quarter v. hence Tou so confidently expected it. Not a slave united him self to vour party, but so soon as he could tret with- out the range of your rifles, or as night gave him opportunity, made his escape from men who had come to give him freedom, and hurried to place himself once more beneath the care and protection of bis owner. When we reflect upon all the mischief and ruin, the dark and fearful crimes, which must have at tended even your partial success men everywhere should be thankful that vou were so soou and so easily overpowered. For these offences the law demands the pennltv- of death, and imposes upon me ti c duty of pro nouncing the sentence. It is the most painful duty I have ever been called on to perform. In spite of your offences against our laws, lean not but deeply feel for you, and sincerely, most sincerely, do I sympathize with those friends and relations, whose lives are bound up in yours, arid whose hearts will be so wrung when they shall hear of the sad fate which has overtaken you, the objects of their warmest and holiest affections. For them we all do sorrow; whilst a due regard for our safety may not permit us to forgive the offences of which you have been guilty, I hope that they will turn for consolation, and you for pardon, to that good Being, who in his wrath reinembereth mercy. Make then your peace with Him for you must soon be ushered into His presence, there to be dealt with as His justice and His mercy may ordain. To conclude this sad duty, 1 announce that the sentence of thc law is, that you. and each one of you, .John E. Cooke, Kdwin Coppie, Shields Creen and John Copeland, be hanged by the neck until you be dead and that execution of this judgment be made and done by the Sheriff" of this county, on Friday, the sixteenth day of Pcceniber next, upon you, Shields ( Jreen and John Copeland, be tween the hours of eight in the forenoon and twelve, noon, of that day and upon you, John E. Cooke and Edwin Coppie, between the boms of twelve (noon) and five of the same da'. And the Court being of the opinion that the execution of this sen tence should be in public, it is further ordered that this judgment be enforced and executed, not in the jail yard, but at such public place convenient thereto as the said Sheriff may appoint and may Cod have mercy upon the soul of each one of Ou. During the delivery of the sentence the utmost silence was observed, and the solemnity was very marked. A large number of the spectators wept, as also did the Judge. The prisoners were remanded to jail, there to await the execution of this judgment. Mimxelht mean Matters. It is supposed that (iov ernor Wise will respite Brown, who is sentenced to be hung on the '2d of December, until the day fixed for the other executions, so that the excitement at tending the affair may all be gone through with on , thc same day. Governor Willard, Attorney-General McDonald, Mr Vorhees and Mr G. Crowley, left for Washing ton city, and it is supposed will also visit Rich mond, for the purpose of consulting with (iovernor Wise. The feeling heie now in favor of Cooke is very great, and a commutation of punishment to imprisonment, would give great satisfaction to a large majority of the thinking portion of the com munity. There was considerable excitement in town yes- j terday morning, in consequence of the burning uf a wheat stack, the property of Hon. Wm. Lucas, i near Hulltown, in this county. Several barns and stock-yards have been burned during the past few days, and it is feared by many that the county is , infested with a band of abolition incendiaries. Should this turn out to be true, and any of them are caught in the act, it is most probable they will not have the benefit of a jury.

Qfc states in thc confession that he met Capt. j lirown in Kansas some two years aro, and was led by the representations of Brown to join his band, Brown informed him that the town of Harpers Kerry was the place he contemplated making his stand at, and that he wished him (Cook) to proceed there and try and ascertain whether the man Forbes had divulged the plan to any one at liar- per's Ferry, as a rumor had reached him to that effect. Cook strongly objected to any such move as contemplated, but was replied to bv Brown that he had taken the oath to stand by him and that he ulu.t not now desert him for the Ferry and took up his residence. After having been there sometime, he was introduced into society, which resulted in his courting and marrying a Miss Kennedy, of South Bolivar. He then determined by all possible means to change the determination of Old Brown; but all his argu ments and entreaties failed when brought to bear airainst the iron will of the Kansas outlaw.

He will take several of our military companies along with him, so as to be prepared for any emergency.

Numerous coasting vessels had been lost, and also many lives. The French government has orderel one hun dred gun-boats, twenty-five of which are to be com pleted with thc utmost dispatch. The arrangements for a combined French and English expedition to China are completed, and its departure fixed for the first fortnight of February. Thc Paris correspondent id the Pail'' News says the recent meeting of the Emperor of llussia and Prince Regent of Prussia was the subject of great ; anxiety at Paris. It was the general impression , that they agreed not to oppose the annexation of ' Central Italy to Piedmont. A letter purporting to be from Napoleon to the ' King of Sardinia, dated Oct. 20th, had been printed, and was generally regi rded as genuine. 1 he Km 1 pcror observes that the ijuestion is not now wheth ! er he did well or ill at Villafranca, but rather to ! obtain from the treaty the results most favorable 1 to the pacification of Italy. It was necessary to conclude a treaty that should secure in the Lest j manner possible, the independence of Italy, that ! should satisfy Piedmont, and yet which should not wound Catholic sentiment or the rights of the .ovc 1 reigns in whom Europe felt an interest. The Em j pei or says he is bound by that treaty, and cannot, in the Congress which is about to open, withdraw I himself from his engagements. The Emperor demands that systems of moderate ! liberty shall be adopted in all the States of Italy. The Emperor traces a plan for the Italian con ' federation, with the Pope as honorary President, j and says as this will increase his moral influence, ' it will enable him to make concessions in confor mity with the legitimate wishes of the populations. The London l imes, in an article urging dispatch in the China expedition, says: "If private Ameri can letters from China speak the truth. Mr Ward was, with a studied intent to ridicule him, drawn to Pekin by a mule and a donkey tandem ; and if his ratified treaty is found destitute of thc only useful stipulation the draft contained, regulations for the trade and tariffs, then we conceive the A mericans may by this time have concluded their humility has not answered."' It appears that the Emperor of China was very anxious to see the American .Minister, Mr Ward, but insisted upon his prostrating himself before him nine times, with his head to the ground. Mr Ward positively refused to do this. On the 14th day the Emperor finally concluded to receive thc President's letter at Pekin, and to send Mr Ward back to Pei tang, and there exchange the treaties. On the 16th, the treaties were exchanged, and an English prisoner named John Powell given up, he having declared himself an American citizen. Insurrection has not ceased in Italy, as reinforce ments of troops were still going on there, and nu merous arrests were being made. The Pope is said to have accepted the principles of reform suggested, but desires to be himself thc judge of the time they are to be applied. (Jen. Garibaldi in his speech at Turin, says "With a King like Victor Emanuel, and an ai . j arm v i like ours, and with a people like vou, Italy should j not stop until she has freed the last inch of her soil from the heel of the foreigner." A revolutionary plot has been discovered, origi nating with the Bed Republicans of the 3iazini stamp, who are, ii is asserted, leagued with the (irand Ducal and Priestly authorities. In Tuscany, the conspirators are among the more wealthy and higher classes. The serious conspiracy which has been discov- j ered against the Sultan of Turkey, has received a j temporary cheek by thc arrest of four of the chief conspirators who have been condemned to death.

A better illustration office soil sympathy has not been lately sccu than that described in the following paragraph about a misguided lady from North Carolina : An old lady, Mrs. Prances Kindred, is how an inmate of the Warren count-, (Ohio) Poor House.

A New York Belle barely escapes Mar riage with a Bogus Cuban.

She presented her daughter Josephine, a pretty blonde, gushing, silly ard tresh from school, to the sallow millionaire, and almost j threw her into his arms. The bait was eagerly swallowed, and thc wooing and the cooing, and be- J frothing were hurried up as expeditiously as ever ! were the old lady s buckwheat cakes.

It is presumed he will not engage him self to another white girl till his pounded feelings are healed. mm The Charleston Slave Plot in 1822. The late Harper's Ferry affair has revived the recollec tion of previous plots to produce insurrection among the slaves in Southern States. These plots, however, have all been easily crushed. The Char- i leston plot, in 1S22, was made known to the Secre i tary of War. The ringleader of the plot bore the name of Den mark evay. He was a free mulatto, cunning, ac tive restless and possessing a talent of influencing negroes wliicn lie applied with, great dexterity Th lonij indulged, held secret meetings, e negroes, several of which were professedly religious, and the exborters among them participated in them. They could not be said to complain of oppression, or many of them were trusted and even petted servants in the households of their masters, carry ing the keys, and enjoying the largest liberty compatible with their station; yet they devised one of the most diabolical plots of blood and mur der that ever stained the annals of insurrection. The progress of their trial bv a Court of Magis trates and freeholders was fearful and frightful in the disclosures. It was in evidence that the plan was to murder the masters, appropriate the desira ble females to their own brutish uses, burn the city, and in the midst of the panic and conflagra tion seize the ships in port, and push for the island of St. Domingo. One of the praying negroes, smitten probably by his conscience, for he had been indulged in the pious, and respectable family of his master, gave the clue to the conspiracy, and after a long and full trial, some thirty or forty were sentenced to death, which sentence was thoroughly carried into execution by hanging. . -gig 5 - - - Singular Death. On Wednesday of last week, Mr Win. Griffin, of this county, aged about j oO years, died of palsy. On the hriday preceding, he had been to Rocky Mount, and on his return fell from his cart, striking upon his head, since which time his entire person, with the exception of neck and head, has been dead or so paralyzed that he was insensible to pain. Mr Griffin retained his mind and conversed freely, but could not move feet, hands, nor any part of his body. He had not eaten anything, and all the functions of the body had ceased to act. It is said by some that he was intoxicated at the time he fell from his cart, and that his neck was broken. Tarboro' Southerner.

I refer to the in creasing and lamentable habit now so common of the indulgence by ladies in intoxicating drinks. I do not refer to those who do wrong almost from necessity; but to that other class who have rich husbands and homes that might be made happy. A large number of this class seem to be steadilv diving deeper into dissipation every year, than many persons greatly interested in their welfare and happiness even imagine.

I he speeches of the Black Republican leaders, such j as cndell Phillips, Tom Corwin, Senator Wilson j and others at the present time, sustaining and de fending as they do the insurrectionary acts of John Brown, are nothing better than incentives to rebel lion. If the Southern States should take it into their heads that this is the course which will be pursued in the event of a Republican candidate being elect ed to the Presidency next year, they may at once secede from the Cnion. They have only to call a convention in some Southern city, refuse to send Senators or Representatives to Congress, declare themselves an independent nation, organize an army for the protection of their frontiers from the raids of the Northern Abolitionists, make a trpntr of recognition with England, and thus break un 1 this confederation lto-ether.

Burned to Death. The Pulaski (Tenn.) Citizen states that Mrs. Dunnavant and her little child, who lived in Giles county, Tenn., were burned to death a few days since. The child was playing about a fire in the yard, when its clothes caught fire and thc mother in attempting to save her child also caught fire, and they were both burned to death. On Monday night of last week a fire broke out in the grocery store ot James A.

We learn that at the last County Court Sheriff Willis of Bladen county, made an offer to resign his office, but a majority of the justices not being present, his resignation would not be received, and he having neglected to give his bond, the office was declared vacant. Consequently Bladen county is without a Sheriff', the Coroner by virtue of his office acting in that capacity. Fayetteville Carolinian. The Elkction in Louisiana.

Wc suppose that several thousand gallons will be made, this season, by the people of Macon County; and had they been properly prepared with boiling apparatus much more would have been produced. Franklin Observer. Seriols Epidemic. We regret to learn that a very distressing epidemic is prevailing on the plan tation of Col. Dixon Barnes, about four miles west of this place. Ten of his most valuable negroes have died within the last week ; about fifty others are now down with the disease and there seems to be no abatement of it.

EATON'S INFANTILE CORDIAL, we desire to state its superiority over every nostrum that nurse or quack has heretofore offered jou. First It is the preparation of n regular pkftkht, who is well qualified trom much experience in infuntile complaints to prescribe for them. Secondly It tirely free from paregoric or opiate of any kind, sud consequently relieves by removing thc sufferings ofvonr child, instead of deadening its sensibilities. Thirdtj It is put up with great care, as a comparison of it witk any other article for infantile complaints will sho the very roots from which it is distilled being dug froo the forests under the direction of Dr. Eaton, man; of them by his own hands. Fourthly It is perfectly harm less and cannot injure the most delicate infant, and h certain cure and relief in all the following cases, which is its chief merit over everv other preparation, vii : FOR ALE COMPLAINTS ATTENDING TEETHING; such as DYSENTERY, COLIC, Ac. ; also, for softening the gums anil relieving pain. For regulating the bow els it is unequalled. For Cold in the Head it is aTI relief. For CROUP, the most fatal and tryingof disea ses, it can be relied on with perfect confidence; wi being a powerful anti-spasmodic in all case of convul sions or fits, we earnestly recommend you to lose time in procuring it. Lastly It costs so much mo" than other preparafions of ihe kind, that we cannot ford such long advertisements as can those whose vw' expense is their advertising; for the same reason,1 commends itself as the most reliable to all mothers. all cases, the directions wrapped around each bottle, must be strictly followed.
