DANIEL WORTH ACTING OLD JOHNBROWN.The New York Times of the 31st December contains a letter l'roin Daniel Worth, dated “Greens-borough Jail, N. C., December 26,1859,” in which he gives an account of his trial and imprisonment, and anticipates the “wrath to come.” He says he is happy in prison, and ready to “ suffer shame ” for the cause in which he is engaged.We regret that the only legal punishment in his case is w hipping, the pillory, and imprisonment. It is bettor that one man should die than that the peace and safety of whole communities should be put in jeopardy. Daniel Worth must Know that he has offended against both God and man. No one can truly ‘tglority God ” by sowing the seeds of insurrection and servile war. If our institutions did not suit him, why did he return from Indiana ?Wc think the keeper of the Greensborough pris on should see to it that no more of Daniel Worth’s hypocritical letters, appealing to the abolitionists lor sympathy, should be permitted to be sent Northto be published in abolition newspapers.Hal. Standard.23d, 1860.The Republican Party Conrention meets Juno13th, 1860.The New nnion Conservative Convention, if they are wise, would call a Convention July 22, and nominate their man. It will not do so. This third party will aid Douglas.Wash, car. Mobile Register* -Thomas Garrett, of Wilmington Delawaro, a venerable Quaker, stated* at the John Brown meeting in Philadelphia, that he had been instrumental in aiding 2,245 slaves to escape by the “underground railroad,” besides about 200 more whom he had assisted before he began to keep an account. This statement was greeted with much applause.Exchange.This venerable Quaker nigger thief, it may be also mentioned, gets well paid for his thieving. The Loidon Anti-Slavery Society pays him a certain sum for every negro he steals, and this, together w ith the money received from the negroes themselves, it is said, has made so profitable a business for this “venerable Quaker/’ that he has grown rich in afew years. Among Garrett’s most prominentfriends and underground railroad abettors, in this city, may be mentioned Rev. Dr. Cheever, Dr. II. A. Ilartt, W. M. Connolly, of the police, and other well known Abolitionists. Negro stealing is a regularly organized speculation, and pays, according to all appearances, exceedingly well.New York Day Book.
