The wny they nscd TO tplk.


When Cook and Brown, were ransaeking
the northern States to get money to support
their kansas work." they were acceptable
heroes to the Republican" papers.
Here is a specimen Of the reception they us
ed to meet with in Connecticut.
From the coursat, Sept. !, 1856
KANSAS MEETINo-,Joln T. Cook, Esq, q
lawyer from Lawrence, Kansas, Is expected in
town to-day, and will speak at Toronto Hall
this (Monday) evening, to the citizens Of Hart
ford, (who are invited to come without regard
to party) upon the wrongs and wants Of Kan
sas. Mr.. Cook went from Hsddam to Kansas
and while there has made himself perfectly "a
miliar with the movements Of both parties;
those movements, and the sources Of his inior-
nation, will be made known this evening. He
starts for Kansas on Thursday, at the head oI
a brave company of men, who 60 prepared to
defend themselves from attack, and to give the
Rufians an opportunity. if they can OF dare, to
earn the reward of eleven hunured dollars
which has been offered for his scalp. We are
assured that he is brave, fearless man, and de.
ties them. Let there be grand rally to hear
the truth"
From the Courant OF March 81, 1857.
"CAPr. JOHN Brown, of 0ssawottomie, Kan
sas, just the man we want to inspirit the Free
State men and play the game Of bluff against
the serfs Of the slave owners in Kansas, desires
some material aid and to keep his arms staid up
while he fights the battle of Freedom against
the Border Rufiians. He says he will endea.
vor to make judicious and athful application
OF such means as he may be supplied with
! w. Ii. d. calendar, Cashier ofthe State Bank
Hartford, Conn, will take care that all monies
lodged for Capt. Browns benefit, are received
| by the Captain. BROWN IS JUST THE
MAN WE NEED IN KANSAS; and if every
man who loves freedom and can spare a dollar
or two. would put it in Browns purse we will
warrant they get their moneys worth out o
| Brown hereafter. Let us back up the men whit
are fighting our battles"
The Conrant's warranty, that the contrib
utors would ''get their moneys worth on
of Brown hereafter" seems to have beef
fully realized in hislate operations. What
ever else may be said Of him, Brown i
evidently a man faithful in meeting th
expectations of his employers;--in fact, il

6-The following paragraph, from the Wells
vile co. Patriot will give our readers some
idea Of that "murderous instrument" called
'pike," some 1900 Of which old Brown had in
his possession at Harper's Ferry when captu-
rcd
Marshal johnson, as he passed through here
on Friday had with him one Of the murderous
''pIkes" which was found in the possession OF
the insurgents. The wooden shaft was OF ash,
over five feet long and about the size of rake
handle; on the end of the shaft was secured by
the means of screws, polished steel blade,
sharp on both sides, twelve or fourteen inches
long, about three inches wide, tapered from
heel to point like dirk or dagger, and would
probably weigh from to 10 pounds VI these
deadly weapons there were fifteen hundred, and
as they are not very we'll adapted to the mi
ming business" we must infer that they were
to have been used in numbering men, woman
and children in cold blood; but thanks to an
ah-wise Providence, it was otherwise deereed.

Did not Intend Murder.

"Old Brown" says he never intended to shed
blood or commit murder; and many Republi-
cans say that there is no evidence that he did
so intend.
Well then; what were all those sharp knives
stuck in poles, and all the SharpS rifles and pis
tolls for, which he had with him at the Ferry"
ell!
We suppose the sharp knives were to cut
hewing tobacco, and the rifles were to shoot at
mark, just for fun. Is that a correct suppoSi-
ton? No! The deadly arms were collected
for murderous purposes, and they answered the
purposes at the Ferry, Bridge and the Arsenal.

The Pittsburgh Post we'll remarks that du
ring the Kansas troubles Of 1885, Sc, and '57
the Republicans insisted that the Democratic
party Of the Union was responsible for every
outrage that was committed in that territory
by excited and infuriated pro-slavery men.--
1.-The Kansas outrages" were their great politi-
cal staple, and by it they came near clcctinS
President in 1856. The Democrats contended
that they had nothing to do with them, and
were not responsible in any sense. But the
Republicans insisted that the act ofeycry prosla-
very man was the act of the Democratic party.
Now,when an Abolitionist who has graduated IN
the Kansas school, organizes band for the TO-
menting Of q slave instruction in the Sonth, and
makes murderous attack upon Harpcr's Ferry
and when it has been proven that he was back
cd up and sustained by money and arms oh
tanned from Abolitionsts ami Republicans Of
the North the latter think it very unjust that
the whole organization should be held respon-
sible for the conduct of Browns band, which
was imbued with their ideas, and which was
seeking to carry them out. They don't like to
have the Same responsibility forced upon them
hat they put upon Democrats about Kansas.

They feaI Uneasy.

The Republican papers of Ohio manifest
much uneasiness on account OF the develop
ments in relation to Harpers's Ferry Insurrec-
tion. They feel the force vfthe charges made
by the Democratic press in relation to that
wicked transaction, but cannot shake off the
that justly attaches to the leaders
Of that party in the free States. They may
writhe and twist until they are tired, but the
public Judgment is against them, and they will
not be able to escape it. In due time more will
be known ofthe plan, and every development
will serve to show the actual completely oClead-
ing Republicans in it-Statesman.

t47-A dispatch from Charlestwn, Va, to the
Baltimore Sun, dated Sunday, says;
"Gov Willard, of Indiana, visited his broth
er-in-law Cook, yesterday in Jail, in company
with Senator Mason. MIR. Mason proposed to
the governor to retire when the latter entered
suggesting that he would probably prefer that
his interview should be private, and also for the
reason that anything Cook might say be should
feel bound to testify to if called as a witness
in court to any facts Cook might communicate,
and insisted that Mr.. Mason should be present.
Gov. Willard urged Cook to make full con-
fession Of all he knew connected with Harpers
Ferry in order to exonerate those who were
innocent, and to punish those who were implica-
ted, as the only atonement he could now make.
Cook signifed his willingness to do so, and he
will probably make a written confession. He
told Cook thst he had nothing to hope for but
detth. Gov Willard states that his family had
lost sight of Cook for several years, and suppos-
ed he was ded, until, reading his name in the
papers, he determined to visit Charlestown to
ascertain il he was his relative. Mrs. Willard he
states, is in great distress at the conduct Of hei
brother"

That there is extensive gold mines in Otta
wa county, cannot be questioned. We have
been aware for about two weeks, that gold was
supposed to exist, in its natural state, in this
county, but now it is satisfactorily understood
that we live in California No. 2. Mr.. Walter
Smith, of Van Rensslear township, discovered
some two weeks ago, on that part of his farm
bordering on the lake, stone which he thou hit
contained gold. Since then he has exhibited
several specimens to citizens, and two Of our
best naturalists, or geologists, have tested it,
aud found it to be quartz rock, in which was
extracted in fakes, and which was ascertaned
to be very fine gold. Mr.. Smith informs us that
tons of this quartz rock can easily be got, about
four feet below the surface Of the ground-in
fact he thinks it exists in almost endless quan
titles. Who has the Pixies Peak fever now?
We will notice this hereafter, as further de-
