publiled in the Kentucky Gazette, we f,ali
only offer very few remarks. MIR. Brown
lays, This Rep DECLARATION OF independence
VIII, IT my opinion, tend to preiecve unauimi-
ty, and will enable you to adopt with eFed,
fuch mcaiures as may be neceffary TO promote
the intereft OF the dtritt." Does not this fen
timent therefore exprefs efficiently the arpro-
BATON or Mr.. Brown as to the meafure OF {epa-
rating from the Union, and would not fuch
meature if attempted without content Of Com
grefs, amount to treafou Were not thoic
private conferences which Mr.. Brown acknow-
Lodges to have had with the Spaniih Mininer
Don Gardoque, the fubhance of which he ha,
explained in this letter and communicated to a
few confidential friends, acts Of treafon accor-
dug to the accePtation of the term? Are not
all private conferences which can be held be-

they be not treafun, what is treafon
IT has been reported that Jnfeph George has
laid our itatement with regard to him and
Judge ScbattIan, WAS falfc ; and hat the bar
rel was loaded with rice, and not dollars. w.
received our information from three or four
Respectable individuals who aHnrcc, us they had
it directly from George. But to prove the u,,-
truth OF fuel, report which could oaly,have o.
rig'nated with the confpirators, we fubioin The.
following certificate from Jolept George, which,
rs IN tubitancc the fame with that we Rated.
that judge Sebaitian received 4 barrel of dollars
from Loulvle--It matters nothingin The prefent
qnet,on, whether Jofcpl George carried IL
from Louitviilc or only aifitled to carry it off
the Wagon when brought TO Sebafiau's houf-.
Dollars are the qneftion and not the name of
the waggoner. IL the confprators have TO ref
.i..euCe upon iucn crrorr II is bioh time
they ihouid employ fone ADLER counr.l than
William furnamed LittelI, to plead tn cir car,G..
do certify, that lived with Judge Sebafian
in the year 1898, and that in the fpring or fun
mer OF that year, he fent cart to L1uifyi!le r.
bring goods; that after the goods were bro't
to the judges, the negroes were abou. unload
ing the cart of iaid goods, and in pafIing az
lifted IN taking out the load-Amongt th.
other goods taken out well recollc6t barrel
wn'cn was very heavy, and required the Joint
Efforts of myfelf and three Others to take it our
of the end of the cart but whether the barrel
was really laden with dry goods, groceries or
money, do not know, as I did not fee the
1t being clofry headed at each end.
Shortly after the judge received the goods al
udedt to, he made payments of fone ftnall funs
OF money which he owed to myfeIf and others
OF his neighbours. The money was Sosnig,
mliled dollars, newly coined and as well ash
recolleet, all of one date. The weight of the
barrel which affixed in lifting out of The cart,
together with the aforefid payments, excited
fome curiohty, which induced me afterwards
to enquire of Mr.. William Ssbaftian whether
the barrel was rot laden with money, which
enquiry he did not directly anfver, but ndi-
rectly gave me to undsrnand il was
Given under my hand this 18th OF Auauft,
1906.
