As we stated last week, Brown lost but one son in Kansas, and that was Frederick, who was shot on his way to Osawatomie, on the morning of the sacking of that town, on the 30th of August, 185tf, over three months after the horrible butchery on Pottawattamie creek, of which Old John Brown was the leader. We repeat this, because even the Lawrence Republican tells about the murder of Old John Brown's sons, as if he had lost several of them in Kansas.

He remembers seeing his little boy once, and kissing him, but cannot call to mind the mother. He learned by some means that a warrant was out for his arrest, charged with murder. Conscious of his own innocence, and having still a little spaik of memory, he resolved to give himself up to the authorities, which he did.

They, believing him guilty of one of the basest crimes recorded in American history, and hardly equalled in atrocity by the savages of the forest, when led on by revenge and madness, treated him in a very baibarous manner. It is true that he was chained and marched in a burning sun some twenty-five or thirty miles, to what point we are not advised, probably Paola, but certainly not Lecompton.

In reading the closing paragraph of the lettei of Gerbjt Smith to Old Brown, I observe he says "I suppose you put the Whitman note into Mr. Kearney's hands.

Kearney? The name is obviously a mistake oi' the telegraph, a missprint, else an altos, which was well understood between the parties.

Now, with a good lens, they can look out upon the whole field, on each side, and can understand not only the action, but the motives which led to such action. The Eastern presses at this time are attempting to recapitulate some of the incidents of 185fi, and are offering them in mitigation of Old John Brown's recent outrages in Virginia but, instead of giving the acts as they transpired, they are only giving exaggerated and partisan statements, made in self-exculpation at the time those "excesses" as Mr.

While we shall oppose and vote against him, we shall not consent to remain passive, and allow him to be put down by falsehoods. There are facts enough to urge against the Judge to defeat him if not, we hope he will be elected.

From a careful examination of them, we venture the assertion that no articles of similar length could have been published which would have embodied more statements at variance with the truth. The Herald's article was either written, or the substance was furnished, by G. P.

Lo wry, who was private secretary to Gov. Reeber, or some person who derived his information from him. The statement is only partially correct, as far as it relates to Brown's connection with the Wakarusa war, but the moment it enters into an account of the difficulties of 1856, it is false in dets il and in fact, and the ideas are principally copied from the partisan article of the same week in the Tribune. Mr. Low-ry left Kansas the last of March or first of April, 1856, hence his information was second-hand at best, and probably much worse.
