,,n,,I she went 10 the Governor where men
could not resch him, and begged of him to have
nothing 10 90 with that just man. Possibly,
when the Governor heard %! the vast crowds
which were GOING To see tie public spectacle Of

men in Tie afternoon. hc would lie afraid Of i

w,r, mad. and prayers offered, and the c"ngrc-
ul,ion was then called upon TO sign petitions,
Drawing Governor Wise 10 pardon Brown and
III, men. The meeting continued ill i very
late hour. and towards the close y collection
was taken up 10 Lrfray the expenses, and. tho
balance to 20 in aid "f fugitive slaves.
The idea OF getting up petitions to Gov.
Wise to pardon Brown and his men, argues
cross ignorance rs well a. tanaticiSn on the
