Evidence of Brow's Insanity.—The Cleveland Hera Id 'of last evening siiys: “Mr. Hoyt, one of Brown’s counsel, is now in the city for the purpose of getting-affidavits e£ the acquaintainces of Brown as to his insanity*. A large number of affidavits have been prepared at Akron, Hudson. Cleveland, &c., and they are made by men of the first respectability . who have known Brown for many years, intimately, and there is no difference of opinion among them astothe mo--nomania ot B'-own upon the subject of slavery.” o<7“Mr. Sennott, one of the counsel for the Harper’s Ferry' prisoners, and who presented some very forcible points of exception to the Jury’s findings, has been notified, with others, that his personal safe y would be best preserved by his leaving Charleston at his earliest convenience. Mr. Sennott declined leaving until be had concluded his business. Mr. Hoyt, of B »ston, who went to Charleston as old Brown’s counsel, w rites a lettersaving that he was compelled to leave for the North as soon as Brown's trial was closed, to avoid the violence of the “chivalry.” (gJy~Ori"lhe morning ol the New York election, the New 'l ork Herald, the organ of the iSouth and the Cottonocracy of the Nor,th, had the following: “Il the Black Republican revolutionary' ticket should be elected in New' York and New Jersey’, the news will tall on the ear of the South like the knell of a departed Union, and the excitement will son reach a crisis and asstime a shape which will appeal and astound the pcop.lv of the North.” Doleful indeed!
