just previous to starting for the execu-

He requested Mr.. 0'Bannon not to give

No one having received a majority Of the
votes cast Mr. Grow rose and expressing his de-
sire 10 no way to retard the organization of the
House, withdrew his name.
A wrangIe here ensued upon motion to ad-
journ, and to enter into discussion, which was
withdrawn, and Clark Of No. introduced the
nigger question 10 the shape of a resolution to
exclude ell such candidates as had in any way
squinted an approval of certain book, called
"The Impending Crises" by recusaut South
ron, which according to the chivalric interpu-
tation, contains reasonable sentiments. A
sharp discussion filed out the remainder Of the
sitting.

The Senate was organized by the Vice Pre-
sident taking the chair. Some dozen of the
Senators we're absent. The nigger question was
there also introduced by a southern, Senator
Mason Of Va. by the submission Of resolu-
tiOu, for the appointment Of Committee to
inquire into the facts attending the late invasion
and seizure Of the Armory and Arsenal at Har-
per's Ferry, and whether citizens OF the U. s.
AOipresenl we're eulpabe by rendering assis-
tance, &c. To this Mr. Trumbull OF ILL.,, pro-
posed an amendment, by extending the inquiry
to the seizure of the Arsenal at Franklin, Mo,
during the prosecution of the border rufian
warfare. The amendment had the effect to dis
turb the gentlemans equanimity, not a little,
but after some considerable debate, extending
through the 9TH, the Senate adjourned without
taking vote.
When an organization will be effected it is
impossible to tell When that event occurs
we suppose we shall get the message.

THE EXECUTION.

As the hour approached for hisIexecution
the Medical Faculty in attendance, the
Sheriff of the county, and the officers of
the jail, visited the room and eonyersed
with him. Brown was cheerful, and talk
ed as though the hour which was appointed
for his death was Indifferent aud far in
the future. Nothing of any material in
terest occurred in these interviews.
At nine o'clock, agreeably to the general
order, two military companies commenced
assuming their positions. One company
was stationed in front of the Jail another
directly Opposite Of the Market House, and
yet another in front of the Court House
which was only few yards TO the north Of
the prison. Two pieces of brass cannon
were placed near the Jail wall on the road
leading 10 the seafcld.

JOHN BROWN AND THE IOTTAWATAAlk MUh'
DERs.-One of the most revolving circumstan
ees connected with John Browns fate was the
hatred manifested by q woman. Mrs. Doyle
the widow of man who with his two sons,
was killed in Kansas, wrote letter to Brown
in prison from Chattanooga, Tenn, charging
him sith the deed and conlessing qualification
at the prospect of his punishment The con-
tents Of the letter were made known by the
postmaster of Charestown.
The matter Of the massacre Of the Doyle
family and several other persons at Pottawato-
me Greek, during the rufian invasions of Kan
sas, is the only thing alleged against Brown
which, if proved, leaves a stain on his memory,
and this if proved, it is confessed looks very
badly. The men massacred at POttawatomie
were pro-slavery men, and had just gone about
the neighborhood warning the free soil settlers
that if they did not leave within a certain time
they must be shot. Before that time came
they themselves were visited at night taken out
of their beds and killed. 1t was a frightful af
fair, but was John Brown in it The editor
Of the Lawrence Herald Of Freedom has lately
charged it upon him, and has produced afhda
Wits proving that the deed was done as describ
ed and that some of the witnesses supposed
Brown 10 be one of the gang concerned in il
But it is to be recolected that this is a nev
charge, gotten up since Browns Imprisonment
IN Virgioia, and it is denied by Browns friends
brother of John Brown publishes Statement
10 contradiction of it. He says his brother
was not present at the time Doyle was killed
but was eighteen miles distant, and that he die
not assent to the act, and had no knowledge o
u. lie says he has this statement from JohI
Brown and his two sons who were with
him in Kansas and also from sister and broth
er-in-law now living in Kansas, whose wore
would not be doubted by any one having
knowledge Of their characters. We hope thi
will turn out to be true, as the account tha
has been recently published has tended to lie
down the respect and sympathy for Brown. Il
no other instance has an act of cruelty beel
charged upon him. that we are aware Of

AN OHIO BLACK REPUBLICAN.

Almost the first person / met in Charles
town was the Hon, j. Nj. Ashley, of the
Toledo District. He had the assurance TO
circulate abont very freely and telk Black
Republicanism, pretty highly colored in the
very bar-roOm, which was the focus of ex-
citement and within ten feet of the Gene
rars headquarters. Mr.. Ashley defined his
doctrine to be "no more slave States-no
more slave territory" The Virginians
seemed puzzled by this individual, and ct a
loss to know whether il would be most
proper to be Indignant or amused. They
seemed to be in rather good humOr with
him, however Ashley was with Marshal
Donaldson, of Kansas notoriety, and the
conjunction was rather rich. Donaldson,
however, took good care of the Black Re-
publican Congressman
