The Fruits or Black Republicanism.

The troubles at Harper's Ferry have created barely less of a sensation in this State than in the States of Virginia and Maryland. There is no one conservative and rightthinking man but places the blame of this outrage and bloodshed where it belongsupon the head of the black republican party. Yet no one will pretend to say there is any direct participation in this affair by those who are the leaders and control the actions of that party. Undoubtedly the sympathies of a large number of that organization are with "Old Brown," and perhaps secretly, many of their members gave him countenance and aid. Those, whoever they were, are now silent. The universal condemnation of his acts has so alarmed them that not even can poor old Brown find any one bold enough to ask that mercy should be shown him. The republican newspapers stoutly deny that the sympathies of their party are with the traitors, and emphatically protest that the doctrines enunciated by their orators and disseminated through their newspapers, did not bring about the treasonable doings at Harper's Ferry. Nevertheless, the truth stands out to the view of everyone that the "irrepressible conflict" doctrines of the republican party have caused this demonstration, and however much they may denounce the actors, they are morally as guilty as Brown and his confederates. — Brown, with his armed friends, are the positive evidence of the great conflict between the North and the South, which has been proclaimed by Mr. Seward as existing, and which has been endorsed by his many adherents. The few Harper's Ferry rioters were staunch friends of Seward—out and out republicans—and have in former times received the countenance and support of that party in the commission of acts, in Kansas, equally as lawless and bloody. Money had been furnished them, and revolvers and rifles had been sent them to shoot down the peacible citizens of Kansas who had emigrated to that Territory from the South.— The whole republican element joined in a jubilant shout of praise in honor of the Kansas traitors. They were exalted as the great champions of freedom and made the heroes who were to fight the battles of fredom against slavery. Is it to be supposed, then, that Brown —seeking for new glory and renown —would be content to confine his warfare to the outposts ? He had been told from the pulpit that Maryland and Virginia were anti-slavery, and republican leaders had seriously contemplated the policy of abolishing slavery in those States by colonization. Brown, if not their tool, was a man who had formed his opinions from theirs, and who possessed a knowledge of their real and ultimate designs, which they have so carefully concealed in their platforms. Acting upon these feelings, and the known intents of his party, this foolhardy old man has thus rushed to his own ruin. He and his followers are now suffering from heresies inculcated by the whole power and interest of the republican party. This conspiracy has demonstrated one thing—and we are glad the lesson has been so soon learned—that any man or any party of men who seeks to create an insurrection among Southern slaves, will not only be discountenanced by the whites of the Union but by the slaves themselves. It will teach the fanatics who have heretofore warred against the South with words, until the war of words has culminated into a war of arms, that a sure, certain and ignominious punishment awaits them. The trial of the conspirators is now in progress before the courts of Virginia. There can be but one result. Gov. Wise's reply to the officers of the Federal Government conveys a terrible and significant meaning— "You can have all that is left after the State of Virginia gets through with them."

The following is a pattern for advertisements, which we find in the Fort Smith Tiwes :

The Arizonian of the 10th November, says:

From Sonora we learn that the United States sloop-of-war, St. Marys, had arrived at Guymas. From present appearances, Pasqueira has on his hands as much as he could well desire at one time. An officer of the navy waiting for an interview, demanding reparation for the injuries he has done American citizens and their rights: and from another quarter, an officer of the army advancing into the country to protest against his order of expulsion against Capt. Stone and his party, and to set forth his breach of treaty stipulations, and at the same time to notify him of the course our Government will pursue, if he further interferes with the privileges of American citizens while in the State of Sonora. We think this action on the part of our Government, is the only proper one in dealing with such a despot as Pesqueira has proved himself; and the result will be a cessation, for a time, of those annoyances under which our citizens have suffered so long from his hands.
