was sitting up in the door, making rather .
queer noise, and groaning terribly. The

eyes. From the wound blood and brains is.
sued freely and profusely. The weapon
used was one Of Aliens three Inch single
steel barrel pistols, loaded with = slug ball
The pistol had been held SO close TO the

wound the skin was much blackened and
powder burnt.
"Mr. Brown Was placed upon bed and
carried TO Dr.. Mitchell's ONCE where he
was visited by most Of our physicians and
many Of our citizens, and all thought that
he could not possibly live ose hour, but
strange to say, be lived until Thursday af-
ternoon about half past three O'Clock, when
he expired.0

tested his innocence to the last, in the fol-

and signed by him:

ssThe rope was then adjussed-he stepped
upon the drop-the cap was drawn over his
face, and saying be had nothing more to say,
be shook hands with the sheriff and deputy
the cord that supported the drop was cut,
and as he fell. Ahe rope broke and he fell to
the ground on Ms face. Blood flowed freely
from bis nose and mouth. He was taken up
with oil becoming celebrity rope and
trap re-adjusted, and being asked if he
wished to say anything more, he said not,
only to affirm what he had said before
Again the drop fell, and after hanging
twenty-five minutes be was pronounced dead
by the physicians present, taken down, and

The Ohio Statesman, under the editorial
control of Sam. Medary, used to have rep
utation anything but enyable, but II the man.
ner in which it commences the campaign I'M
der it's present conductors can be regarded
No an indication, it promises to be, in their
hands, at least equal to it's pa.miest days I'M
der the old regime. Witness what follows,
for evidence of what We say:
In it's Sunday issue, that paper has an ar
ticlc devoted to the speech delivered By Gov
ernor Corwia at Morrow, Oh Friday. In il
occurs these sentences
'The Republican dogma OF mo more s lave
States Mr.. Corwin fatty repudiates. Upon
that great Constitutional question he is q
Democrat
subject alluded to. Every reporter on the
ground who reported him, represented him as
saying:
''But don't understand me to mean that |
wish any more slave States. NO! am for
the white man. ! hold that if you bring
slave labor into competition with the whites
it degrades the latter. | believe the niger
will destroy the white man in his home il let
alone. That is il you permit the negro to
work and the white man to grow indolent,
for it is one Of the unalterabls laws Of God,
that the laborer shall possess the country
where he lnbors. Human experience justi-
0es the principle. believe there should be
no slave labor where the white man can work
tApplause.
81 believe this question to be settled. If
not, and the issue again presents itself, let
the North do its duty. 1t has the power
Let it present II. For my part stand by the
doctrines Of Henry Clay "No power short
OF that OF the Almighty shall force me to
carry slavery into territory where II does not
exist.'p
After this, the compaign statements Of the
Statesman must be received with great
many grains Of allowance. Its editors are
becoming either unusually foolish or rabid,
to misrepresent so boldly in the face Of the
facts. At all events they must place rc-
markably low estimate on the intelligence Of
their readers Zanes. Cour.
