No Title.Frankfort, Kentucky, Commonwealth [Opposition](28 October 1859)
[Pointing Finger] The Harper's Ferry affair continues
to attract more attention than all other
matters combined, and we therefore yield
most of our space to the telegraphic
reports of the examining trial of Brown an
his confederates. Brown exhibits a
hardihood, a daring, and an obstinacy, in
keeping with all the acts of the last few
years of his life. We think this as much
to be attributed to his desire for notoriety,
and a wish to appear to the Abolitionists
of the North as an unflinching martyr to
the cause, as to his unusual nerve. To
acquire such a reputation the old fanatic
would, at any time, give his life. We are
rejoiced at the seeming determination to
give him and his associates a fair trial.--
Let no act of illegal violence interrupt the
strict course of fair and impartial justice.
