The revela '? 'Yhat are now bring made in regard tc Brown's attempt at Harper's Ferry clearl] tow that for several years past there has ex iitrd a deep and widely spread conspiracy o trennon, with object* so perverne that the traitoi plans of Burr aro thrown far behind in th< .paths of iniquity. Bitfr was never accused o ?ny deeper trcostfn than a design to separate tin thinly populated States of the south-west fron the new-born Union, in order to form with then and the Spanish tlominionn in Mexico a con federation, of which he should be the head Yet the mild treasou of Burr filled the country Willi Iionur, auu uiouo iiih imuio lllinmous U succeeding generation*. For fifty years his example stood alone in thi ?nnals of the republic. Now it iB becominj Jiiiowii that for two or threo years there hw rxiiitrd, with ramifications from the waters o the Kennebec to tho?e of the fur Missouri, i conspiracy whose treasonable designs are no simply the secession of a few thinly settlei Slates, but which aim to involve the whole Un ion in one brutal and bloody conflict. No po 1 ideal separation, but social destruction is tliei object. Fifteen States are to be swept over bj four millions of ignorant and infuriated slaves inflamed, armed, and led on by pious ruffians froir the North. Since the year 1856 closed on the bor derforaysof Kansas,this treasonable abolition con piracy has been preparing its plans, enlisting iti members, gathering its means, and seeking sytn pathy, counsel and aid. The plans, so fur ai tlicy have been revealed, are of the most bloody and revolting character; the traitors cinbraci many in every rank iu the social scale; th< means h&ve been widely and largely gathered and counsel and sympathy have been obtainec even from men representing sovereign States ii the highest counsel of the Union, which thej would destroy. The correspondence of Colonel Forbes, whicl we published yesterdeay, reveals the plans, ant in patt the aims of the treason, and many name of persons who havo for many years puBt beer ?iding, counselling and contributing to the ef /oris of the nctive traitors. Brow'n bloody plain are exposed iu detail, and (lie names of persons given who took parts in them, from n simph knowledge of the conspiracy lo active pariici. .panoy in it The law wisely and justly brandi with equal guilt the accessory before the act ant "the actors in the crime. And in the firs category we find the names of Senator Sew ard, of New York, Senators Wilson and Sum tier, of Massachusetts; SeiiHior llale and ex Governor Fletcher, of New Hampshire ; Gover nor Chase, of Ohio; Hon. Gerrit Smith, ex member of Congress; Itev. Joshua Lcavitt, o New York; Horace Greelj* of the Tribune, Mr Lawrence,a prominent merchant, and Dr. Howe a physician of high standing in Boston; Dr Bailey, late of the Washington Era; Dr. Jesst Bnwen, of Iowa city, and F. U. Sanborn, r graduate of Harvard, and now a loading teachei in Massachusetts. This is no list of low born ignorant and dexpiaed traitors to the Union ar.C its States. It is no concoction of locnl dis.ifFec lion. It shows that the treason had infested al classes, from the desperate adventurer to the occupant of the Senatorial hall. And yet the revelations in regard to this wide pread treason have onlyjust begun. More wii come out from day to day, till the entire exten of the conspiracy is before the people. Ilnruci Greely may pooh, pooh, at it; Wm. C. Bryan may joke at it; and Senator WiUon may en duavor to laugh it down as nothing but a filli busier attempt; but reason caunot be pool poohed away, nor joked down, nor warded of by barren and inappropriate comparisons. If i could be, it becomes every patriot to reflect se riouslv UDOn tha state of ihiiiim wliirli anoh fact would prove to exist in the land. Il is ol very well for unearthed traitors to try to laugl at their own discovery, and to brave the frowi of an injured country ; but every sentiment o honor, every impulne of patriotism, will turi wilh scorn upon the infamous promoters of civi atnfe and the destruction of the Uniou in fin and blood. If it does not?if a treason worse far worse than Burr's merits to-day toleralioi from the American people?we shall tremble fo our country. What was condemned us infa mous by our fathers, and is tolerated to-day will soon be applauded in the midst of disun ion, servile war aud fraternal gore.?N. J Herald. Political Excitement on the Rise.?There ar now some three or four State elections unde way, vix: in New York, New Jersey, Massa chusetts, and iu some of the western States and a great political excitement is attending then everywhere in consequence of the attempted re bellion at Harper'a Ferry. Galusha Grow, o Pennsylvania; Tom Corwin, of Ohio, and Sena tor Wilson, of Massachusetts, are prowling abou this Slate looking after our State election. Thi present poliical activity is due entirely to the liar per's Ferry conspiracy, and that event will certain ly give a new complexion to all the coming elec tions. There is no doubt that both the niggcr-wor shippers of tha North and die nigger-drivers o the South got up the fights in Kausas, and com tnitted many lawlei? acts?probably we re guilt; ol treason?but in the confusion and violence o the hour it did not receive the legal attention o the government or the country at large.

The extraordinary political activit; observable at the present tune has been brough bout by the discovery that leading Senator! Congressmen, Governors and ex-Governore o Stales were cognisant of this first notable con piracy against the government, if not direct aid ers and abettors of it, and hence the flutterin] in the dovecotes of the republican parly. Th Harper's Ferry rebellion is but the practical ia sue of all the nnti-slovery agitation, which i nothing better than an anti-Union crusade, an the effectof it will be most marked on all th pending Stale elections, and still more so o <lie Presidential coutest of next year.?New Yor Herald. Gov. Willard and Cook.?A correspondent < the BaltimoreSuu, writing from Charlestown, o Saturday,says : Gov.

This is not the first time tli g simolar scenes have been enacted in this cil .. Baltimore has become famous, or rather a is might say in/amotu, in consequence of li " bloody enactments upon her election days. This frand and violence in elections may I regarded by (lie unthoughtful as of but lit y consequence, but in oar estimation it is an e 1 omen, shadowing forth the existence of tli ^ lawless spirit which unchecked must inevital shake the very frumo work of our gover * tnent.

'* We have seen recent 13- u cull (wo do not now J remember the source.) for a Convention of ? printers in this Stntc, for the purpose of mutiny upon somo general B}'stcni of transacting (lie ~ business of journalism. Sucii, if it were practijy cable, would bo a " consummation devoutly to l)f M'Wifd." There are many abuses connected 1(| with the practical business department of j journalism, which can never he remedied by the jj, resolves and decrees of a l'ress Convention. E_ They muet find tlicir remedy in the practical intelligence of liitn tvlio is charged with the responsible agency of conducting a public jour' nal. There is one practice if not dishonest, it is to pay the least of it, ceusurable : Wo allude to ir- the custom of charging higher for local adver ey using, man lor i.iai which may lio callcd forof eigu. Some establishments have two intes of charges, ar,d will charge the higher ruto fur all local sorvice. Self interest prompts in this as I well U3 in most other things. They feel certnin of the local patronage at regular rate?, but for advertising outsido of the District, they will underhid regular rates. In other words, they * will taka the advertisement at just what they can get for it, under the supposition (.hut the price offered is u clear less to them if they t decline it. It is sometimes the case that where 4 of a paper has a limited advertising putrouage, cli the publisher may bo compelled to advertise p. at half rates, ill order to get that amount of in standing matter which he is compelled to keep. Id In such a ease, the rates which might be eatabis. lishod by the Convention would operate against ed his interest, and when thU was so he would soon uc reconcile to his conscience a violation of any rule that might be established by it. We should be pleased to 6ce more uniformity in news- I paper charges, but have 110 hope that u Con- v vcutiou would accomplish this obieet.

" We have the following additional items from |i cr the Baltimore election on Wednesday : li Baltimore, Nov. 2.? It became evident early 1 13 in th? day, that scenes of rioting and bloodshed n would mark the election. At noon, the reports from vnrioii9 wards showed that tho Reformers f< stood no chance of securing an impartial vote. <i cl( The 3d ward was blocked up by rowdies and b |,e l'ie p?lice was inactive. ii In tho loth ward, the rowdies compelled the 0 'e Reformer .Imltreof the election to leave the polls, n ch and all the Reform voters were diivcn nway, a ea beaten and otherwise maltreated. v ja In the 15th wards, Adam D.

In Ihe lust named I ward a boy was mortally shot in the breast. ' These are only a portion of the incidents. In 'Id most of the ward", the reformers wero assaulted, :n- beaten and maltreated. Ia the 11th ward, a stronghold of the Reformers, Gen. McGill, a prominent Reformer mude a speech and announced the withdrawal of Mr. 0f John II. Thomas, Reform candidate for State Attorney. The Reformers then oil withdrew, ,H8 finding it impossible to accomplish anything, he Wm. 1\ Preston, Democratic candidate for he Congress in the 8d district, is now lying at Barlto num's Hotel, having been badly beaten with a billy about the head.

Tho Uritish journals nre urging again tlic importance of tending out another expedition to I lie Arctic regions, with the hope of finding some of tho survivors of the lost explorer, Sir John Franklin.
