"Mr. VIM. Phillips at length came
forward. Then you might have seen
by the lightning in his eye an i'm
pending storm. There is something
in Mr.. Phillips earnest demeanor
which always electrifes and binds his
audience in the deepest attention.
The well known manner in which he
deals in plainlfacts and truths and
never in truiSms, sophisms, or patri-
otic appeals instantly calls for him
complete silence and respectful con-
sideration, MIR, F.. had not proceed

Gently came unsolicited to him. He
presumed that his informant had given
The Intelligence in friendly confidence,
but in his mind the matter belonged
to the public, and he deemed it his
duty to give it to them at this oppor-
tunity. He said that while about
taking the census in some southern
township, an editor of paper pub
lished there, told him, that an editor
of this place (Lawrence, had ap-
preached him, saying that they were
about to start Walker Party, and
offered inducements to him to become
an organ under it.
Never have heard more exciting
dpnouement than this. The widest
agitation prevailed and loud cries of
name him.! name him!p came up
from all quarters Of the house,
Standing in his Brougham-hke

Champion, at Prairie City,
One universal hiss met the an
nouncement."
When we were about to commence
the publication of our paper, Mr.
BRowN gave us some advice relative
to the best course to pursue in ad-
vancing the interests of the Free
State party. He told us that he
thought the course the Topeka Con-
stitution party were pursuing was fa-
natical in the extreme; and that they
would fail to win. He considered
WALKERS course good one, oaid
that he should favor him so long as
he pursued so an impartial a policy
!, ,.lsss,aeNyas then doing, should oppose
the Topeka faction and as friend
advised us to do the same. He new
err said that a WALKER party was
being formed, neither did he Golfer
inducements to- to become an organ
under him." A synopsis Of what
and all he said we have given.
After the appearance Of some two
or three numbers of our paper, Mr..
PHILLIPS, while passing through Prai-
ric City, called on us, and ent cred
into conversation with us on Kan
zas matters. During that conversa-
ton we told him that we undoubtedly
had incurred the ill-will Of Mr..
BRowN by our taking the course which
was 80 much in contradistinction
with his advice, and we then gave
Mr.. PHILLIPS an account of our inter-
view with Mr.. BRowN--such as we
have just now given. 1.l.
