I hare no apology to make for keeping
o'ltof the way of those gentlemanly United

Rochester a somewhat protracted visit late-ly,
with a view to an interview with me. A
government recognising the validity of the
lJred Scott decision, at such a time aa this is
not likely to have any very charitable feel-ings
towards me, and if I am to meet its
representatives, 1 prefer to do so at least
upon equal terms. If I have committed any
offence against society I have done so on
the soil of the State of Now York, and I
should be perfectly wiilihg there to be ar-raigned
before an impartial jury; but I huve
quite insuperable objections to be caught by
the handrt of Mr. Buchanun and "bagged"
by Gov. Wise—for this appears to be tho ar-rangement—
Buchanan docs tho fighting and
bunting, and Wise "bags" the game.
Some reflections may bo made upon my
leaving on a tour to England jubt at this
time. I have only to say that my going to
that country has been rather delayed than
hastened by the insurrection at Harper's
Ferry. All knew that I had intended to
leave here in tho first week of November.
FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
LETTER FROM PBED DOUGLASS.
CANADA WEST, Oct. 31, 1859.
I notice that the telegraph makes Mr.
Cook (one of tfie unfortunate insurgents at
Harper's Ferry, and now a prisoner in tho
hands of the thing calling itself the govorn~
ment of Virginia, but which in fact is but au
organized conspiracy by one party of tho
people against tho other and weaker,) de-nounce
mo as a coward, and to assert that I
promised to bo present in person at the Har-per's
Ferry insurrection. This is certainly
a very grave impeachment, whether viewed
in its"bearings upon friends or upon foes,
and you will not think it strange that I
should take a sumo what serious notice of it
Having no acquaintance whatever with Mr.
Cook,and never having exchanged a word
with him about the Harper's Ferry Insur~
rection, 1 am disposed to doubt that he could
have used the language concerning me which
the wires attributed to him. The lightning
when speaking for itself, is among the most
direct reliable and truthful of things; but
when speaking for the terror strikon slave-holders
at Harper's Ferry, it has been made
the swiftest of liars. Under their nimble and
trembling fingers, it magnified 17 men into
700, and nas since filled the columns of the
New Vork Herald lor days with intermina-ble
contradiction. But assuming that it has
told only the simplo trutli, as to tho sayings
(.1' Mr. Cook in this instance, 1 have this an-swer
to make to my accuser : Mr. Cook may
be perfectly right in denouncing mo as a
coward. 1 have not ono word to say in de-fense
or Vindication of my character for cour-a
«'c. 1 have alwaysbeeD more distinguished
for running than lighting; and tried by
the Harper's Ferry insurrection test, I am
most miserably deficient in courago—even
more =o than Cook when he deserted his
brave oid captain and lied to tho mountains.
To this extent Mr. Cook is entirely right, j QOWS came of Capt. Brown's recent attempt
and will meet no contradiction from mo or
from any one else. But wholly, grievously
[From the Richmond Enquirer of Saturday.]
Mrs. Child and tho Insurgent Brown-
Some imperfect extract? from theannexod
letters have been published, wo have thought
it advisable, to a correct understanding of
the subject, to give tho entiro correspon-dence.
Mrs. L. Maria Child (who asked to
be allowed to "nurse" and "soothe" the in-surrectionist,
Brown,) has heretofore been
known in this sootion as an authoress of
some pretensions, whoso literary contribu-tions
have served to fill up the columns of
o.ie or two Northern periodicals. Hereafter
sho will bo regarded, in the South at least,
u belonging to the Harriet Beecher Stowe
"circle:" as ono whoso morbid outhusiasm
aad fanatical zeal have beclouded and vitia-ted
a judgment, otherwise, perhaps, clear
and sound:
LETTKB FROM MRS. CHILD TO GOV. WISE.
WAYLAND, Mass., Oct. 29,1859.
Governor Wise:—I have heard that yon
were a man of chivalrous sentiments, and I
know you were opposed to the iniquitous
attempt to force upon Kansas a Constitution
al.horent to the moral sense of her people.—
Relying nuon those indications of honor and
justice in your character, 1 venture to ask a
favor of you. Enclosed is a letter to Capt.
John Brown. Will you have the kindness,
after reading it yourself, to transmit it to the
prisoner J
I, and nil my largo circle of abolition ac-quaintances,
were taken by surprise, when
and most unaccountably wrong is Mr. Cook
when he asserts that 1 promised to be pre-sent
in person at the Harper's Ferry insur
rection. Ofwjbateverother imprudence and
indiscretion I pay have been guilty, I have
never made a "promise so rash and wild as
nor dc I know of a single person who would
lave approved of it, had they been apprisod
of his intentions. But 1 and thousands of
others, feel a natural impulse of sympathy
tor tho bravo and suffering man. Perhaps
God who sees the inmost ol our souls, per-ceives
some such sentiments in your heart

this. The taking of Harper's Ferry was a |,js wounds, and speak Boothinglv to bim.—

dom or my
from Harper's Ferry, but has equally kept
mo from i.Hiking any promise to go there. I
desire to be emphatic here, for of all guilty
men, ho is the*guiltiest who lures his fellow
men to Jin Undertaking of this sort, under
promise of assistance, which he afterwards
tails to render. 1 therefore declare that
there is no man living, and no man dead,
who if living, could truthfully say that I ov-er
promised him or anybody else, either con-ditionally
or otherwise, that I would bo pre-sent
in person at the Harper's Ferry insur-rection.
My field oflabor for the abolition
of shivery basinot extended to an attack up-on
the United Slates arsenal. In tho teeth
of the documents already published, and of
those which may hereafter bo published, 1
bless
vou for the generous deed
I have been, for years, an uncompromising
abolitionist, and 1 should scorn to deny it, or
apologise for it, as much as John Brown
himself would do. Believing in peace prin-ciples
I deeply regret the step that tho old
veteran has taken, while I honor his human-ity
toward those who became his prisoners.
But, because it is my habit to be n.i open as
the daylight, I will also say that if 1 believed
our religion justified men in fighting for free-dom,
I should consider the onslavcd, every-where,
as best entitled to that right. Such
an avowal is a simplo, frank expression of
my sense of natural justice. But I should
despise myself utteily, if any circumstance
could tempt mo to seek to advance these
opinions in any way directly or indirectly.
town, Va., for the crimes of murder, robbery
and treason, which you ask me to transmit
to him. I will coaiply with your request, in
the o*ly way whi-;h seems to me proper, by
enclosing it to tht* Commonwealth's Attor-ney,
with the re quest that he will ask the
permission of tho Court to hand it to the
prisoner. Brown tho prisoner, is now in
the hands of the Judiciary, not of the Exe-cutive,
of this Commonwealth. You ask me
further to allow you to perform the mission
"of mother or sister, to dress his wounds
and epeak soothngly to him." By this, of
courae, you mean to be allowed to visit him
in his cell, and to minister to him in tho
office* of humanity. Why should you not
be allowed, Madam? Virginia and Massa-chusetts
are involved in no civil war, and the
Constitution which unites them in one Con-federacy,
guarantees to you the privileges
and immunities of a citizen of the United
States in the State of Virginia. The Consti-tution
1 am sworn to support, and am there-fore,
bound to protect your privileges and
immunities as a citizen of Massachusetts
coming into Virginia for any lawful and
peacetul purpose Coming, as you propose,
to minister to tho captive in prison, you will
be met, doubtless, by all our people, not only
in a chivalrous but in a Christian spirit.—
You have the right to visit Charlestown,
Va., Madam, and your mission, being merci-ful
and humane, will not only be allowed but
be rcBpoctwd it not welcomed. A few, unen-ligbtcd
and inconsiderate persons, fanatical
in their modes of thought and action to
maintain justice and right, might molest you
or bo disposed to do so, and this might sug-gest
tho imprudence of risking any experi-ment
upon the pes.ee of a society very much
oxcitod by tho crimes with whoso chief au-thor
you seem tt> sympathize so much ; but
still, I repeat, your motives and avowed pur-pose
are lawfu' and peaceful, and I will, as
far as 1 am concerned, do my duty in pro-tecting
your rights in our limits, Virginia
and Fer authorities would bo weak indeed—
weak in point folly and weak in point of
power—it her Stato faith and constitutional
obligations cannot be redeemed in her own
limits to tho loiter of morality as well as of
law, if hor chivalry cannot courteously re-ceive
a lady's vie-it to a prisoner. Every
arm which guards Brown from rescue on
the one hand, and from lynch law on the
other, will be ready to guard your person in
Virginia. I oould not permit an insult oven
to woman in hor walk of charity among us,
though it be to one who whetted knives of
butchery for our "mothers, sisters, daugh-ters
and babes." We have no sympathy
with your sentiments of sympathy with
Brown, and aro surprised that you were
"taken bj surpriiio when news came of Cap-tain
Brown's recent attempt." His attempt
was a natural consequence of your sympa-thy,
and the error of that sympathy ought
to make you donbt its virtue, from tho effect
on his conduct. IBut it is not of this I should
speak. When you arrive at Charlestown, if
you go there, it will bo for tho Court and its
officers, Commonwealth's Attorney, Sheriff'
and Jailor, to say whether you may see and
wait on the prisoner. But, whether you are
thus permitted or not (and will be, if my
advico can prevail) you may rest assured
that he will bo humanely, lawfully, and mer-cifully
dealt by, in prison and on trial.
Respectfully, HENRY A. WISE.

Assessments on tho Democracy.
The Democratic party of New York is in
a bad way. The Albany clique has levied a
very heavy contribution upon the moneyed
men of tho'party The Herald publishes the
following private circular of assessment:
ALBANY, Sept. 28, 1859.
" DEAR SIR : At a meeting of tho Demo-cratic
State central committee, hold in this
city on Wednesday, tho 21st inst., measures
were adopted \.o secure a more perfect or
ganization of tho State than over before, and
to provide for the registration of tho Demo
cratic voters of the Stato under the act of
last wintor. Provision was ah o made for
tho circulation of campaign papers and po-litical
documents throughout every county
in tbo State. All this will bo attended with
a largo expense, which can only bo covered
by an appeal to the liberality of such of our
friends in tho State as are able, and who are
supposed to bo willing to contribute to the
objocts indicated. An assessment was made
upon you by tlio committee of §100, which
may bo remitted to Dean Richmond, Esq.,
its chairman, or to the undersigned.
Respectfully yours. P. CAGGEli, Sec.
James Buchanan, in his Fort Du Quesne
letter, piously asserted that it. was not until
lately that money was used to carry elections.
James know, at the time he made his as-sertion,
that more money had been spent
to elect Mm to tho Presidency, (in tho State
of Pennsylvania nlcnc) that had ever before
been used in any election. What is the con-sequence
of this Democratic mode of carry-ing
elections? It is this, that tho officers
and fat contracts of Government aro pledged
to those who subscribe liberally for this ob-ject,
and the result is, that the Government
is swindled out of double and quadruple the
amount to make up principal, interest and
profit. Witness the sale of Fort Snclling;
tho mule contract, and tho thousand and one
other modes by which Government has been
robbed and cheated to repay the money thus
advanced by political speculators, who gam-ble
away tho moans of supporting, and com-pel
Government to borrow money to keep
the machicry in motion, and to issuo certifi
catos to those who perform its duties.
Let tho people look to this—let them in-quiro

of the property of tho United States? Who

The "Irrepressible Conflict"—-Speech of
Joshua H. Oiddings.
A speech was delivered in the city of Phil-adelphia,
on the 29th of October, by Joshua
R. (biddings, in regard to the Harper's Ferry
toray of Ossawataraie Brown. It was a
carefully prepared speech, and was delivered
after tho excitement incident to such an af-fair
had cooled down, and places tho hoary
headed old abolitionist in a position more
disgraceful and revolting than that of old
Brown himself. With a coolness and effron-tery
as audacious as disgraceful, ho admits
that he has assisted in the stealing of slaves.
On this point he says:
"And as an illustration of my doctrines. I
have paid probably two hundred dollars per
year from my limited means to free slaves
from bondage. I have also fed and clothed
those who called on me while fleeing to a
land of liberty. To others who were pur-sued,
I have given arms to defend them-selves,
and have constantly spoken of these
things in public and in private, by tho way-side
and by the fireside. I am opposed to
taking human life, oxecpt in defence of lite
or liberty. In such cases I believe it a duty.
In these opinions 1 think a largo portion of
our people of northern Ohio concur. We do
these things when we can do them, without
violating any enactments, but all will sec
that the place cannot change the moral char-acter
of our act. And feeling this, men may
become so excited as to go even as far as
our government did with the Algerincs. I
would not. I havo not tho heroism to do it."
Weagree with the Nashville Banner that
such a confession as this could COine only
from a man of the lowest instincts. A slave
thief is no better than a man who steals
hogs or sheep. Xegroe- aro property under
tho laws of fifteen States of the confederacy,
and are recognized as property by the Pede
ral Constitution. Whatever may be the
views of individuals in regard to tho wis-dom,
morality, or policy ol such laws, they
are as much bound to respect that species of
property as any other article which is the
subject of ownership. An individual has no
right to say that be will not recognize the
right of property in slaves. The Constitu-tion
and laws of the States and the Federal
Government recognize the institution, and
the obligation to observe anil obey these
laws rests equally upon every man whatever
may be his individual notions. When Mr
(iiddings so unblushingly confesses having
contributed two hundred dollars to deprive
masters of their slaves, and justifies himselt
upon the ground that he does not admit the
right of property in negroes, he makes a
confession that warrants the suspicion tuat
he would, under a given state of eircuni»
stances, steal any other kind ol property.—
Were ho a Jew, he would steal the hogs of
Christians, and contribute an additional two
hundred dollars to aid otiiers in Steeling
them. Were ho a teetotaler, like his friond
Gerrit Smith, he would steal whiskey, rum,
and brandy, however clearly the law might
recognize these articles as legitimate subject■>
of ownership. He might say that it is :. sin
for people to ruin their health by eating
hogs or drinking whiskey, and therefore he
felt bound to deprive them of the means of
committing that sin. This reasoning is as
convincing as the logic by which he seeks to
vindicate his conduct in stealing slaves.—
Such a man should be watched, for in this
fast age new theories and new doctrines are
diecoverod almost every day, and should
Joshua R (iiddings ever take up with tt.at
school of medical quacks who repudiate pork
as an esculent and wine as a beverage, it
would be necessary for his Ohio neighbors,
who raise hogs and cultivate the vine, to
surround their herds of swine with a stone
wall ten feet high, and secure their vine-yards
by a liberal supply of man-traps, to
prevent the predatory incursions of tho re-doubtable
skive thief.
In the same speech from which the above
is extracted, Mr. Giddings, says :
" Discussion has elicited truth ; they have
carefully examined the character of their
rights and are determined to maintain them.
An •irrepressible conflict has arisen;' it is
upon us, and he does injustice to himself and
his country that fears to look it in tho face.
1 notice that some of our papers appear tim-id
ami (earful. 1 would say to such men,
speak not at all on this occasion. It is one
that rises above tho thoughts of demago-gues,
or the comprehension of n.inds that
move in a circle of mere political stratagem."
In another portion of the speech, an effort
is made to vindicate B' >wn, and in doing so,
the speaker professes to give expression to
the sentiments of the people of the free States.
lie say-«:
" Now, :• to Brown, I entertain tho opin-ion
that his own account of his objects and
designs is correct. I presume bs has told
tho truth, when saving that his .,,!,. object
in going to Virginia was to fre* ' i slaves.—
On this point 1 suppose no one will doubt.—
ilo declares he hail no intention ol shedding
biood. He only did that when compelled tu
do it. 1 therefore say that in regard to his
desire for freedeni to tho slave, he agrees
perfectly with nine tenths of the people of
our free Slates, with niiie-leuihs of our min-isters
who every Sabbath pot up petitions
to the Most High, lor the relief of tho op-
I pressed. 1 don I think ho has xt any time
' come up to my own views."
Again he says :
•• The indignation of our people is awaken-ed
In some localities it is intense. Let no
j man mistake or belittle thai feeling. It has
i long been foreseen. All reflecting men kuen
■ it liiust come. In fifteen tears 1 have coo-
' Btantly pointed it out to Southern men arid
' tf Northern men. Rec nt events will in-crease
and strengthen it. Let those in pow-er
understand it cannot bo trifled with. Lot
timid men keep silent. Let demagogues no
1 longer sneer nor threaten."
From these extracts it will be scon that
j Joshua It. Giddings avows, not only for him-i
self, the "irrepressible oonflict" doctrine of
Wm. H. Seward, but he also undertakes to
commit the great body of the Northern peo-ple
to the same odious principles. The (>o»
sition of Giddings and Seward JIS prominent
leaders in tho Be
weight and authority
that they would not otherwise possess, and
unless that port}' desirs to be considered as
! endorsing these intamous and incendiary
j doctrines, both Seward and Giddings. and
I all who preach their law-defying heresies,
must be repudiated. No party can .-tdmit
such men into its councils or allow lb jm t<*
set themselves forward as its epoxejimcu,
without incurring the odium that nocehjiariiy
attaches to them. Tho conservative• law-abidiug
people of tho North owe it Io Ihem-selves
to place the stamp of their etn'hatic
condemnation upon such dastardly p iil'iples
as those proclaimed by this abolitior-iel, Gid-dings.
They will otherwise be held respon-sible
for them—be reckoned as symp itjizing
with their author—and thus occupy tfo po-sition
of a people ready to make war upon
and pillage their fellow-citiaens. It'Is the
merest absurdity to say that they an Pro-fessional

—tho same kind of self-defence whic-i will be
necessary for every negro stealer c resort
to if caught in the act, us Brow I ami his M*

The "irrepressible conflict" has ban pro-claimed
by Giddings, in terms even hii.ro in-telligible
than those used by Sewa-d . The
traitors are coming out of their hidiiig;places
and declaring war in public places.• W ill

will it summarily put them down '! 'I|iat is
the question to which Southern pci-p* will
look anxiously for an answer. If Gildings
is to be taken for an exponent of .attj; res-spectable

which we cannot believe, the national.ly of

The Administration and tho Harper'^ Fer-ry
Affair.
We observe that several Southern jooroavls
aro disposed to hold tho Administration to a
just accountability for neglect in com. -ction
with the Harper's Ferry affair. The -H I ma
(Ala) Reporter and Democrat copies the let-ter
addressed to Secretary Floyd from Cin-cinnati,
and comments upon it asfollqws :
"The first question that arises is—\\| y did
not the Administration take notico tf the
warning and advise tho Government VBeeri
at Harper's Ferry of it.s contents? 1 Jie de-fenders

will answer that it was because it wa anon-ymous—
had no responsible name signed to

of it, is contemptible It is the duly of the
Administration to watch over am' protect
the lives, property and interests of toe peo-ple.
Then havo Mr. Buchanan and his Cab-inet
acted the part of faithful sentinels in this
instance ? Have they guarded tie interests
of Virginia as they would have guard d and
watched over their own households aud tire-sides?

that a slaver bos landed negroes
upon Southern soil, the President immedi-ately
hits tho officers on the look out. Hut
when he is advised that bis abolition Friends
