Redpath has just published book en-
titled, "The Rowing Editor, or Talks with
Slaves in the Southern States" published
by A. B. Burdick, n. Y. The work is
dedicated to "0ld John Brown" Turn
ing to page 300 we find the following
paragraph, which we copy verbatim, and
entire:
II believed that a civil ,0ar between the
North and South would ultimate in in
surrection, and that the Kansas troubles
would probably create military conflict
of the sections. Hence,I left the South,
and went TO Kansas and elldeauored,
personally, and Gy my pen, to precipitate a
revolution. That tce failed, for Itcas not
alone in this desire, was owing to the in
fiuence of prominent Republican states
men, whose unfortunate conservative
character of council, which it was imposi-
bic openly to resist, effectually baffied all
our hopes-hopes which Democratic ac-
ton was auspiciously promoting"
How does that strike you, reader p
There is an open confession, published to
the world, stating that the prospects of a
"civH toar'' brought Redpath to Kansas /;
that he labored PERSONALLY, AND BY HIS
PEN, TO PREc1PIrATE A REVOLUTION" )"
and that he had associates in that grand
scheme of revolution, and was only pre-
vented from being successful by the "con-
servative" character of certain Republi-
cans, whose position, it twas impossible
openly to resist"
1t was because he, and his accomplices
could not attack the conservatives OPENLY,
that the lying devises were adopted ol
representing that all who would not en-
dorse their mad schemes, and join them
in their project of dissolution, had deserted
the Republican ranks, and gone over tC
the Democracy. As good anti-slavery
men as the world ever saw, and who had
sacrificed everything but life to advance
the principles for which they came tC
Kansas to establish, were branded by
these disunion patriots as Pro-slavery mer
in disguise, just as the Pro-slavery dis
unionists, Stringfellow, Atchison & Co.
branded all with being Abolitionists who
would not enlist in their crusade agains
Kansas.
We thank Redpath for his honest con
fession, and We congratulate the peopl,
that this emissary of the British Govern
ment has had the manliness to throw OF
the lions skin and stand out before tn
American people in his true character.-
Would Phillips do the same, it would b
we'll. And then we have the theolog
ical student who edits the Republican
Vaughan, the South Carolina patriot
Lane, with his hands reeking with hu
man blood; and Conway with his blud
geon, all standing before the public i
their true characters. Old Brown, too
: wrote out his confession and published
in his organ, but only told what ha
transpired, not his PLANS. Montgomery
too, stood up in Lawrence, and harangue
the people amid the loudest applause, cor
Tossing his crimes, concealing his rea
} motives, but stating that he was "thu
! particular in details that the generatio
: which should follow should know how t
g carry on a guerrilla warfare"
It's probable we shall be compelled
enlarge upon some of these facts 1
another time, by way of reply to some {
e the disunion organs in Kansas if SO, "
arc supplied with stubborn facts, an
affidavits, if need be, to establish some (
!, the strongest Of our points. We hay
1 other books from these personages, whic
t have just seen daylight, from which "
: shall have further occasion to quote.
